"Elder Deborah, thank you for coming all this way to help clear my doubts."
Cole Karot cupped his fists toward Elder Deborah.
No, not yet finished!
At least for now, the Elven King had not chosen the next inheritor. He still had a chance!
Cole Karot then looked at Elder Deborah and Fang Heng, his eyes hiding a sharp glint.
From Elder Deborah’s story, Cole Karot sensed many strange points.
The appearance of the Goddess seemed too coincidental.
Could it be fake?
For a moment, Cole Karot hoped the identity of the Goddess was false.
If so, exposing their identities might still give him a chance to turn things around!
"Goddess," Cole Karot looked at Cleriway and asked, "There is one thing I don’t quite understand."
"Please speak."
"Our relationship with humans has never been good; there have been considerable conflicts in the past. Why do you need us to help humans? This will put us at odds with the Spawn Alliance, which greatly affects the elves. Moreover, the Shadow Clan is not easy to deal with."
"This question is better answered by me.
"The answer is simple. Humans are strong. The Spawn Alliance is destined to fail. The elves chose the wrong side before. For the future of the elves, this time we must return to the correct path."
Humans are strong?
What flattery!
Cole Karot looked at Fang Heng, the oracle, frowned, and showed a look of disdain and displeasure.
"Are humans really that strong?"
A guard behind Cole Karot stepped forward and said, "I am Tobias, Elven guard captain of Your Highness. I have undergone rigorous training since childhood. If humans are truly as strong as the Goddess claims, are you willing to accept my challenge?"
"Tobias, do not be rude to the oracle."
Cole Karot spoke to stop him, but his eyes carried a hint of provocation.
"It doesn’t matter."
Fang Heng stepped forward half a step and cast a challenging look at the elven guards in the lounge, "I accept your challenge. Anyone is fine. To save time, all at once is fine."
"How presumptuous!"
Tobias was enraged by Fang Heng’s words. He moved like lightning, and his elven longsword sliced through the air with a dark gleam, stabbing forward like a venomous snake!
Tobias was trained from a young age and was proficient in both ranged and melee combat. His close-range ambush was hard to defend against!
Even Elder Deborah, caught off guard, would suffer greatly trying to respond.
Whoosh!
But in the next instant, a dark gleam flashed before Tobias’s eyes.
What?
"Bang!!!"
Tobias couldn’t see where the attack came from, but he felt as if his body had suddenly collided with a solid wall. His wrist instantly went numb and weak, unable to exert any strength. His longsword slipped from his hand as he was thrown backward, crashing heavily against the metal hull with a loud boom.
Immediately, the elven guards who had been eager to teach Fang Heng a lesson stopped in their tracks. They looked at Fang Heng with strange eyes, and cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.
This person...
Was problematic!
It wasn’t simply that Tobias was thrown back by one strike.
From start to finish, Fang Heng had stood still. No one had seen his attack motion, nor had he released the slightest aura ripple during the attack.
Not to mention, Tobias was no ordinary opponent.
This meant...
Cole Karot’s eyes also showed some caution.
At such close range, if Fang Heng wanted to harm him, he wouldn’t survive.
"Your Highness, I..."
Tobias’s face turned pale and flushed, quickly supporting himself against the hull to stand up.
After receiving that blow, he had no actual damage, only being thrown back. This showed how finely Fang Heng controlled his strength.
"It is my lack of skill."
"It’s only a spar. Don’t take it to heart. The oracle’s strength is among the top in all humans. Tobias, do not lose your fighting spirit because of this defeat."
Elder Deborah smiled and mediated, "Not only us, even the Shadow Clan would be no match for the oracle."
Cole Karot frowned.
He thought this Goddess was not someone easy to deal with.
It made sense—someone who had fooled the entire Elven race to this extent could not be ordinary.
No rush.
Keep probing.
"I was narrow-minded," Cole Karot immediately softened his tone and nodded. "Indeed, as the Goddess said, human strength cannot be underestimated. But the Shadow Clan alliance is also powerful. Elder Deborah, how shall we cooperate with the Goddess to eliminate the invading alliance?"
"The Shadow Clan individuals are strong and have great racial advantages, but their alliance is not entirely united," Elder Deborah said, looking at Cleriway. "This operation only requires the Elven tribe to cooperate. Everything else will be handled by the Goddess. I shall not act without authority."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the lounge looked at Cleriway.
Cleriway nodded lightly and said, "We will try to use the power of the Disaster."
Cole Karot’s expression shifted slightly, showing a solemn look, "You mean the eternal Disaster?"
"Yes. A few days ago, with the help of the newly born Tree of Life’s power, the elves completely wiped out the invading Disaster. Moreover, we found some useful things within the Disaster. By stimulating the potential of the Tree of Life, we can now control some of the mutant worm creatures to serve us."
Ah?
The elves in the cabin were stunned.
Newborn Tree of Life?
Disaster?
The Tree of Life can control the Disaster?
They understood the words, but the combination sounded utterly absurd.
The elves were proud and naturally recognized the power of the Tree of Life.
But...
Using the Tree of Life to control Disaster?
Even the elves couldn’t admit that.
Besides, the Tree of Life was a terrain-based strategic weapon. Its biggest drawback was immobility; once away from the elves, it was unusable.
Everyone was in a daze. Nearby, a guard unfolded a map of the star domain before them.
"This system is directly controlled by the Shadow Clan, currently occupied by the Crocodile Clan. The star domain has extremely rich material reserves. From here to the transition point only takes half an hour."
"The last deadline the spawns gave the humans is three days away. During this time, they remain on standby. If the spawns receive a distress call from the Crocodile Clan, they will likely return to assist."
Fang Heng continued, "At that time, we will ambush them there and strike a fatal blow to the reinforcements and allied forces, completely shattering their alliance!"
The elves looked at each other, all confused.
What did that mean?
How could it be so easy to deliver a fatal blow and completely destroy them?
Did he really think the Shadow Clan alliance was a bunch of trash?
Cole Karot was arrogant by nature.
But compared to Fang Heng, he felt he had been too modest.
He glanced back at Elder Deborah.
Elder Deborah’s expression was calm. She gave him a slight nod, signaling him to be patient.
This world had gone mad.
This world was crazy.
