Zuo Si shook his head without hesitation, and then forcibly pushed the elf girl in front of an older elf woman. He closed the portal and went straight to the palace and the core entrance of the Tree of Life.

Since one of his constituent abilities is volley, he easily crossed the disconnected canopy and successfully reached the most important place in Sonnisla.

As soon as he landed, Irenekas, who was trying to break through the final defense, noticed something strange. He immediately stopped what he was doing and asked with a wary face: "Why are you here?"

"Relax, don't be so nervous. I was just invited by the Elf Queen to rescue the elven civilians who pose no threat."

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders as if he were harmless.

"Rescue civilians?!"

A trace of doubt flashed in Irenicas's eyes, and he obviously didn't quite understand the other party's motives for doing this.

Zuo Si smiled and explained: "I have reached an agreement with Ali Xing. From now on, these refugees will be subjects of the empire.

In other words, no matter what the final result is, the Elf Kingdom of Wildas Forest will become history.

All elves will live under the rule of the empire in the future.

Oh, by the way, when rescuing those civilians, I cleaned up some of the summoned alien creatures. I believe you won’t mind, right?”

"You came all this way just to tell me this?"

Irenicus frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction.

In his opinion, such boring political games and "trivial matters" such as the demise of an elf kingdom are not worthy of his attention at all.

As for the summoned demons, evil beasts, and yugoloths, they are just cannon fodder used to disrupt the situation. It doesn’t matter how many they die.

Since the completion of the raid plan, these guys have lost their use value.

"Of course not. In fact, I just want to stop by to see what method you are going to use to absorb the energy from this huge tree of life."

As he said that, Zuo Si turned his attention to the giant bugs shaped by magic and divine power.

These beetle-like creations are each four to five meters long and present a fat oval shape.

There is also a thick straw on the mouth, which can be inserted deeply into the branches to absorb energy.

You don’t need to ask to know that these bugs are the last secret weapons prepared by Irenekas to become a god.

As long as he enters the core of the Tree of Life, he can control these insects to take root at the most critical nodes and continuously extract energy to strengthen himself, until he can lead from quantitative changes to qualitative changes and achieve the leap from mortal to god.

"Now that you've seen it, can you go?"

Irenicus obviously did not welcome Zuo Si watching from the sidelines.

After all, with such an extremely dangerous guy by his side, he simply did not dare to stay focused on casting spells for a long time, let alone quickly break the last protective power of the Tree of Life.

You must know that Elf Queen Elixing is not a powerless vase, but an out-and-out legendary priest.

Moreover, she is also a chosen one and is closely connected to the Tree of Life. She is definitely a very dangerous enemy.

So Irenekas was mentally prepared to break down his last defense and have a fight with his former lover.

He didn't want to be distracted by guarding against Zuo Si at this time.

"As you wish, I will leave immediately.

But you'd better move faster.

In two or three days at most, the Sons of Baal will be coming.

I can tell you very clearly that some of them are already very close to quasi-gods.

If enough energy cannot be extracted from the Tree of Life by then, you should understand the consequences without me telling you."

As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si's figure disappeared instantly, leaving only Irenicas standing there with a pale face.

As a high elf mage who has studied gods for several years, it is certainly impossible for him not to know what quasi-god means.

Although many scholars, mages, and alien creatures have done research on gods and tried to figure out who is more powerful and who is relatively weak among different gods, is there a direct relationship between the strength of divine power and the number and influence of its followers?

For this reason, many related books have been published, and the contents and descriptions can be said to be all kinds of strange.

But there is one standard that most researchers agree on.

That is, starting from a demigod can one be considered a truly complete god.

The quasi-gods before this should be in the stage between gods and mortals.

Rather than being gods, they are closer to a unique kind of god-like power.

But if you think Quasi-God is a weakling, you are totally wrong.

Many feats that sound unbelievable to outsiders, such as directly entering the abyss and severely injuring the demon prince Demogorgon, most likely involve the participation of quasi-gods.

Otherwise, how could a group of mortal adventurers alone defeat the strongest demon lord and his army of demons who even the Spider Goddess Rose did not dare to confront directly, and they were still on the opponent's home court.

Moreover, many gods who came from the mortal stage actually wandered the outer planes in the quasi-god stage, just to deeply understand the operating rules of the universe and understand the relationship between mortals, gods and faith.

The most typical example in Faerûn is the path of the mage god Azuth to becoming a god.

Even now, there are many legends about his wanderings in hell and abyss.

It is precisely with the strength of a quasi-god that Azuth can successfully defeat and seal the god of prophecy Savras.

Therefore, for Irenicas, who has not yet successfully become a god, a quasi-god or close to a quasi-god is already a dangerous enough enemy.

Realizing that the crisis was imminent, he no longer dared to waste even a little time, and immediately began to enter a state of concentration in spellcasting, hoping to destroy the seal of the entrance as soon as possible.

Similarly, Elf Queen Elixin, who is located inside the Tree of Life, is also doing her best to maintain and strengthen the protection to prevent Erinikas from entering.

If nothing else, the former lovers will need to compete for at least twenty or thirty hours before they can decide the winner.

……

At the same time, the dark area on the other side.

Aberdare and his party had just escaped from the completely collapsed city of Uster Nasa and were currently sitting in a relatively safe open space to rest.

Especially Sancho, who showed his trump card, has closed his eyes and fallen into a deep sleep.

With him was Aberdare native Ben.

The Son of Baal, the most powerful of the two teams, looks very scary at the moment.

Needless to say, Aberdare, who had been imbued with too much divine power and divinity by Baal, had all the blood vessels on his face and neck bulging, releasing a creepy red light, which continued to emit from his throat as if he was having a nightmare.

Nonsense that others cannot understand.

Sancho's condition is slightly better, except that his body exudes a strange light and floats in a suspended state.

In contrast, Imoen's hands were just uncontrollably exuding a biting chill, and his hands had somehow turned into cyan claws.

"Are they... okay?"

Jaheira asked in an uncertain tone.

Aidalong squinted his eyes and observed for a few seconds, then quickly responded: "It's okay.

The three sons of gods had a surge in divine power and divinity due to their previous killings.

They are currently undergoing an unprecedented transformation.

When you wake up again, you should gain unimaginable power.

This is a good thing for the upcoming decisive battle."

"By accepting Baal's divine power and divinity so much, will Aberdare eventually become the vessel for his father's resurrection like Bane's Son of God?"

There was strong tension and anxiety in Jaheira's voice.

Due to the early resurrection of the God of Tyranny, she has realized what the Son of God means to God, so she is afraid that one day she will wake up and find that Gillian's adopted son has been replaced by Baal, the God of Murder.

Aidalong shook his head with a solemn expression: "Sorry, I'm not sure about this.

After all, things that involve gods often cannot be explained according to common sense.

But the problem is that if he cannot become stronger, he will definitely not be able to survive to the end in this cruel elimination.

So instead of worrying about this, you might as well consider how to deal with this powerful enemy, Irenikas."

"Alas - this journey is really getting more and more difficult."

Jaheira sighed slightly, took out a hard piece of dried meat from her backpack, put it into her mouth and chewed it to replenish her energy consumed in the battle.

Just when the team fell into silence, Sancho was the first to recover from that strange state, slowly landed on the ground, and soon opened his eyes and woke up.

Upon seeing this, Viconia immediately stepped forward and asked: "How is it? How do you feel now?"

"I...I feel better than ever. A powerful force that cannot be described in words is flowing through my blood vessels and even my soul, as if a single thought can shape and change everything around me."

With that said, Sancho raised his hand and released a light spell.

Instantly!

The dazzling white light directly illuminated the passages within several kilometers of the surrounding area, causing those creatures hiding in the shadows that were accustomed to darkness to scream in agony and flee crazily to distant corners that were not illuminated by the strong light.

"Divine power spell?!"

Viconia felt that everything in front of her was gray, her eyeballs felt a strong sting, and she was extremely shocked inside.
