Chapter 705 - Realm Fusion (5) (2/2)

She started to believe Saroviny’s words. Such a powerful person had no need to lie to her.

Saroviny kicked aside a rock and picked up a broken statue. She brought it to the queen. “More accurately, this is the temple that the Inferno Archmage built in the mortal world to land in. This statue is what he looks like.”

The queen took the statue and then looked around. She saw the broken walls and a shattered statue in the distance. It looked similar to the one in her hands. Even further, there was a huge white-gold pillar that shot into the sky. It went up as far as she could see.

“What is that?” The queen had an idea, but she wasn’t sure.

“That is the beam of light for realm fusion. It connects the origin of Aragu to the World Tree in Firuman. Five days ago, it was only 150 feet in diameter. Now, it’s twice as wide.”

“Who did it? My daughter or… him?” The High Elf Queen’s voice trembled. The truth was right before her eyes even if she refused to believe it.

“Your daughter was killed by Link. Not even her soul was left behind. Look, here’s the evidence,” Saroviny said, pointing somewhere.

The High Elf Queen looked over and saw a mostly completely temple. People walked in and out of it. Most wore gold-red robes. The queen had seen it before—it was the robe of the Fire Sect’s clergy.

There were many stone coffins in the temple. The High Elf Queen used the Eagle Eye spell and saw clearly that one of the coffins had her daughter’s name. Milda Silvermoon, Saint, slain by the Soul Devourer’s hand.

The High Elf Queen felt dizzy. She swayed and almost fell over. Saroviny caught her just in time.

After a long while, the High Elf Queen said, “Why does Link want to quicken the realm fusion?”

“He has the Divine Fragment and can absorb the Fire of the Soul. He’s risen to Level-19. No one in Aragu or Firuman can stop him—not even the World Tree. He has a smooth path to becoming a god. A vast and populated realm is the best for him.”

“Level-19? He wants to become a god?” The High Elf Queen’s heart shuddered. She didn’t think the Ferde lord could reach this level. Within a decade, he’d gone from an insignificant Magician to a demi-god. And he was a rival of the Isle of Dawn. This was terrifying!

No, he couldn’t become a god. She had to stop him and stop the fusion of the realms. She couldn’t let the Ferde lord succeed so easily… But she wasn’t powerful enough to stop all this. What should she do?

A name suddenly jumped out of her chaotic thoughts: the Ruler of Light and Darkness!

“The Ruler of Light and Darkness?” she asked. “Who is that?”

Saroviny smiled as she’d expected this. “The Ruler of Light and Darkness used to be the God of Light. He comprehended the mystery of darkness and now controls both. He has escaped from the difference between light and darkness. Now, he is the only true god in the Sea of Void and is the only existence that can help us against Link.”

“The God of Light?” This familiar name calmed the queen. After thinking, she turned to Saroviny. “What should we do now? Destroy this fusion seal?”

“No, we can’t. Link used the Inferno Archmage’s Divine Fragment to create a supernatural defensive magic seal. No power can destroy it. The only way to end the realm fusion is in the Isle of Dawn.”

“I understand. Take me back, and I’ll stop it immediately. I will never let Link become a god!”

By now, the High Elf Queen didn’t actually hate Link. As a High Elf royalty, she didn’t really care about relationships. Her daughter and husband had died by Link’s hands, but they had to die for the Isle of Dawn’s interests.

Right now, she was only thinking about the Isle of Dawn. And what she could see clearly was that if Link grasped this unbeatable power, the Isle of Dawn wouldn’t exist anymore. It would be a disaster for the High Elves too.

In this case, she must stop Link!

These were the thoughts of an old politician who’d manipulated Firuman’s balance of power for years. But unfortunately, Saroviny was a Warrior. She didn’t know much about politics or the High Elf Queen. She couldn’t entirely comprehend what the High Elf Queen meant.

What she thought was that the High Elf Queen’s daughter and husband had both been killed by Link. She would definitely fight Link to the end, which was what Saroviny needed.

As long as the queen would delay the fusion until her father arrived, everything would be set.

“Link, your end is coming.” Saroviny smiled.
