Marvin was slightly stunned, but not too surprised.

It was clear that the person Ivan was talking about was the Great Elven King, who had fought to his last breath to buy time for Feinan.

This wasn't hard to guess. When the Great Elven King stepped out, everyone knew his fate.

It was just a matter of time.

”I'm very sorry.”

Marvin's apology came from the bottom of his heart.

If not for his suggestion to attack the Evil Spirit Plane back then, the Great Elven King might not...

Ivan shook his head, as his eyes cleared up. ”This isn't your fault.”

Although he was depressed, he was a lot calmer.

The Great Elven King's death made Ivan suddenly realize how much burden his father had been carrying on his shoulders.

He had been carrying the fate of the entire Wood Elven Race alone.

In the past, no matter how much of a troublemaker Ivan was, he always had an unrivalled father to settle things for him.

But everything would be different after today.

After the 2nd layer of the Universe Magic Pool broke, even more Chaos Magic Power flooded into the plane.

The North Guardian and the Cloud Monk retreated to the 3rd layer, relying on that layer's stronger defense to fight a long battle with the Gods.

During this time, the Gods would be unable to enter Feinan, but that didn't necessarily mean that it would be peaceful.

Marvin sighed. The future would still be challenging.

Although asking this wasn't appropriate, after some hesitation, Marvin decided that he still needed to know:

”How many did he take with him?”

The Great Elven King dared to step out, which meant he must have believed that it was the best time for his last stand.

Before Eric died, he took three Low Gods with him, leaving 25 of the New Gods behind.

Marvin eagerly wanted to know the situation of the group of Gods now.

”Three,” Ivan answered. ”A High God and two Mid Gods.”

Marvin gasped.

Nicholas really was one of the most frightening people of this world.

Those few battles in the game must not have shown his full power.

After all, this time he fought that group of Gods on his own. Despite that, he managed to exterminate a High God and two Mid Gods. This strength was something the majority of the Demon Lords and Archdevils couldn't reach.

But that terrifying Divine Fire had withered his soul and his strength, so in the end, he could only accept his death.

This really was a huge loss to Feinan.

But the death of the Great Elven King wasn't meaningless.

He had bought yet more time for Feinan.

The deaths of a few of their members sapped the morale of the New Gods. In the following fight, they were bound to be a lot more restrained.

Therefore, the progress of the Universe Magic Pool shattering would be a lot slower.

...

”In the past, I didn't understand why he always seemed unhappy.” Ivan stood by the lake, looking dejected and frustrated. ”Even when I was a child, he wouldn't look happy when facing me and my mother.”

”But now, I vaguely understand.”

”A lone man fending for himself, and a person charged with protecting their whole Race… These are two completely different things.”

Marvin had the same feeling.

A loner could be completely unfettered and only needed to be responsible for their own life. And if the person was strong enough, they could just find a place to hide and wait out the disaster.

However, it was harder if they had people they wanted to protect.
