Chapter 44

Game of the World Tree

Ullr felt uncomfortable when He saw that the elves were suddenly going on a rampage.

"What's the matter with this group of worms? Do they want to prevent me from retreating?"

When He thought of their disrespectful actions, He instantly got angry.

But He soon calmed down…

The pupils of Ullr's avatar slightly shrank when He perceived that the natural divine force in His body becoming increasingly unstable under the players' assault.

No. They wanted to disturb the energy balance of His avatar!

Suddenly, He realized something.

The divine blood crystals… Hela must have come for the divine blood crystals in His avatar!

Yes. Hela's divine mission of death was not perfect. She had been stuck at the top of intermediate-grade divine force for thousands of years. It was said that Hela had been severely injured while trying to strengthen Herself to gain high-grade divine force. Until now, She had not fully recovered yet.

Like Ullr Himself, Hela must have been aware that the seal of the World Tree's divine blood crystals were broken. In order to perfect Her divine mission, Hela had set Her aim at the World Tree!

Death and life were the opposite to each other. But at the same time, they had something in common.

Once something went to the extreme, it would become the opposite. If one understood life, he could look through death as well!

As the god who made the fastest progress in two thousand years, Ullr had always been proud of His wisdom.

At this moment, He thought that He had already discovered the truth!

The huge divine-force avatar suddenly raised His head and shouted to the west,

"Hela! I don't want to act against you. With your ability, you absolutely can continue to look for other natural blood! Don't disturb my business!"

His voice was so loud that it spread far and wide with extra vigilance and barely suppressed anger.

"Hela?"

Eve, who was peeping from the perspective of the players, slightly froze.

What did Ullr mean? Did Hela the God of Death come?

Eve immediately became alert, thinking about whether He should first hide the soul-storing orb…

But after a while, Eve did not smell the breath of the God of Death.

He was doubtful. But then He thought of something, and gradually came up with some ideas.

"Did the breath of death in the players confused Ullr into thinking that the players are the followers of Hela?"

Eve did not know what expression He should have.

Frankly speaking, when He obtained the soul-storing orb, He really wanted His future avatar to pretend to be Hela's follower.

In fact, the reason He spread Hela's divine force to the players was simply because He wanted to make sure that He didn't expose Himself.

But He had not expected that He would overdo it.

Ullr actually regarded His elf army to be Hela's followers!

Ahem, it was a pity…

Nevertheless, let it be!

After all, Ullr had weak-grade divine force, so He wouldn't dare to provoke a god of intermediate-grade divine force. He absolutely didn't have the courage to confront Hela.

Plus, because He thought Hela was involved, Ullr's movements in the forest of elves might be more careful in the future.

As a result, Eve would also have more time to develop secretly!

Thinking of this, Eve decided to make Hela, who had always been dwelling in the Underworld, a scapegoat on the spot.

Ahem, after all, the little sister Hela was so powerful that She wouldn't care about the hostility of a god of low-grade divine force.

In fact, Eve's army of players was similar to Hela's elite ghost army to some degree.

But if Eve was going to name His army, He preferred to name them "Disaster Army"!

After Eve figured out the name of His army, He dug out one point of divine force from Hela's soul-storing orb painfully, threw it into the channel of connection to the players, and activated it in the way He operated divine force…

In an instant, the players saw a new message from the system again.

[Ding--]

[You are determined without fear! Your courage has touched the great goddess. She decided to bless you in the battle!]

[You gain an extra BUFF: The goddess's blessing]

[Your weapon gains an extra BUFF: The goddess's blessing]

[The effect: In the next hour, you will lose all your negative emotions. You and your weapon's attack and defence will increase by one hundred percent. All the damage of the skills will have a "lethal" effect, which can double the disturbance of energy!]

[The end of life is death. The end of death is a new life.]

[Brave chosen ones, for the glory of the goddess and elves, charge!]

With a dim gleam of divine force, all the players felt a cold breath covering their bodies. Afterwards, all their physical attributes were strengthened!

"Another buff!"

They rejoiced.

They became highly motivated when they felt the increasing power in their bodies and saw the boss before them whose health bar kept reducing.

Generally, when this kind of extra buff appeared in game battles, it meant that the players would soon win.

Victory was near!

The players all got serious. They became more exhilarated and shouted incessantly--

"The goddess has supported us! We are strengthened!"

"The boss will soon collapse!"

"Defeat Ullr!"

"For the glory of the goddess and elves, charge!"

"Argh!!!"

In an instant, all the players strengthened by the divine force of death started fighting desperately.

The face of Ullr's avatar almost twitched as He perceived the effect of death magic on the elves.

"Hela!"

He let out an angry roar and began to step back constantly, wanting to retreat from the encirclement of the elves.

He was acting just like the previous goblin high priest Guru before his death.

But there was no way for Him to escape.

The one point of divine force of death Eve released was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Strengthened by the divine force of death, the players attacked more fiercely. The balance of the energy in the giant's body became increasingly unstable with noticeable speed.

Ullr was smacking many players to death like flies. But they would soon rush back from afar…

Seeing this, Eve started spending divine force wantonly.

In order to provide players more Perfect Resurrections, He spent 1.5 points of divine force at once!

With the infiltration of the divine force of death, the originally unstable divine force of nature in Ullr's avatar got even more chaotic.

"Get out!"

Aware that His state was getting increasingly worse, Ullr's avatar yelled furiously. He decided to change His strategy.

The energy avatar's divine force suddenly dropped significantly. He slowly floated upwards from the ground, escaping from the encirclement of the players.

"Damn, He is flying!"

"That's unfair! We cannot fly!"

"Where are the long-rang skills? Fire at Him together!"

"The health bar is almost empty! Come on, everybody!"

The players shouted when they saw the divine-force avatar fleeing into the air.

However, the divine-force avatar waved His hand and a half transparent barrier appeared below Him, blocking all the magic skills.

"Damn…"

"No! We cannot hit Him!"

"The orange bar is starting to go down again!"

"One hit! One more hit will be enough! The health bar is almost empty!"

All the players grew anxious when they saw the divine-force avatar flying increasingly higher.

"Huh, ants are ants after all."

Ullr's avatar sneered at the clump of players on the ground and continued to fly away.

However, just before the orange bar was empty, a sturdy figure rushed out of the group of elves.

It was Box Meal.

He held a wooden knife. His expression was composed as he was neither happy nor sad. He was like a ruthless warrior.

He climbed the broken walls of Florence like an elegant wildcat, and soon reached the top of the temple.

Afterwards, he glowed like one would when activating a skill. He jumped with his feet so fiercely that he crushed the sculpture at the top of the temple below his feet.

Skill--[Galloping Fast and Flying High]

With the help of the skill, he jumped almost as high as seven or eight meters in the air. He stepped gracefully in the air, rolled twice, went through the barrier directly and rushed towards Ullr's divine-force avatar!

Skill--[Stepping in the Air]

Under the divine-force avatar's surprised and angry gaze, Box Meal threw out his wooden knife in the air.

The wooden knife pierced the eyes of Ullr's avatar. The breath of the divine force of death in the Box Meal resulted in his end.

"Hela--!!!"

After a desperate roar, His body started twitching drastically. Brilliant lights constantly agglomerated…

While the series of changes took place in the air, the other players on the ground were stunned.

After throwing out his knife, Box Meal began to fall.

Before he hit the ground, he used the[Stepping in the Air] skill again. He rolled beautifully and landed on the ground steadily.

After that, he got down on one knee emotionlessly.

Behind him, a deafening sound came.

With dazzling light, the energy giant turned into a splendid firework display. The explosion blasted Him into pieces.

The light of divine force shone on the ground. Box Meal's figure flickered in the glittering light. The divine blood crystals shining with pale green light fell and scattered around him.
