Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 272 - 263 The Silent Goddess
Chapter 272: Chapter 263 The Silent Goddess
"A goddess battle against the half-orc god?"
Goo Goo Bird was slightly taken aback.
Meanwhile, the guild chat group had become thoroughly lively, with various messages popping up one after another:
"Just watched it, the goddess is still awesome! As expected of the game’s number one big boss, her words become reality. #Awesome"
"Indeed... This combat power, directly changed the game’s landscape..."
"I just went to check it out! There are still traces of the battle over there, about thirty kilometers southeast, near the edge of the safe zone, such a big crater! But now it’s all covered with plants."
"Southeast? I was wondering why I heard rumbling sounds coming from there when I respawned, and there was a dark cloud in the sky. At first, I thought it was the game’s weather, didn’t expect it was a true god battle..."
"Impressive..."
"After all, true god, the combat power ceiling of the game."
"Hold onto the golden thigh! Maybe someday I can become a divine favored too! Divine favored are also strong! #Love"
"Wonder when we can level up to that tier..."
"Become a god? According to the design of ’Elf Kingdom,’ if players could become gods, the system would collapse, right? This game doesn’t even have monster farming in the wild, reportedly for realism, modeled after an ecosystem."
"Who knows... #Rolling Eyes"
"But Uller is really weak! Got thrashed by the goddess from start to finish."
Of course, the messages soon got sidetracked:
"Bondage play... Feels like a great script material. #Funny"
"Already have one, Demigod Walker’s. #Funny"
"Step aside for a word. #Funny"
"I’m good, you guys continue. #Funny"
"Hahaha... Script +1, but Uller’s a bit ugly. #Laughing Eyes"
"As long as the goddess is pretty. #Funny"
"If the goddess hears you say that, forget about ever drawing a legendary card this lifetime."
"Hahaha..."
"Tch, you think the goddess is the game GM or something?"
"By the way, the goddess really likes to use vines... I can almost imagine how the demigod Walker got thrashed by the goddess. #Doghead"
"Pfft, got a mental image. #Funny"
"Sigh... In hindsight, there probably was a process when the goddess fought Demigod Walker back then, too bad no one recorded it. The official should have made a cutscene, right? Making it seem like an Easter egg... #Sweat"
"Easter eggs are the ones with surprise. #Clever"
"But after looking back and forth, feels like the goddess’s model is still the most perfect... I even screenshotted it as wallpaper. #Happy"
"After all, it’s my wife... Look at those legs, look at that waist, look at that face... #Love"
"???"
"Whoever with yellow urine, come splash him awake, but forget it if diabetic, it might make him taste sweet. #Sly"
"Here I come, I’m not only inflamed but also have inflammation. #Sly"
"I’ll take over, I’ve got uremia. #Sly"
"I’m also here, I’ve got kidney stones. #Sly"
"..."
But... there were some who discussed seriously:
"Who shot this? #Curious"
"Heard it was two life-oriented third-test players, not even level 11 yet."
"Damn! Luck King! This must be hidden plot, right? So much information... #Tearful"
"The truth about the goddess being besieged thousands of years ago, and the goddess’s divine artifact... Is the goddess looking for her own divine artifact? #Thoughtful"
"Means players are gonna be sent to search?"
"Probably, this must be the main storyline, right?"
"Don’t know, those two said there were no follow-up system messages. #Clever"
"Might be delayed, someone else had encountered it before, of course, it might also be because the plot hasn’t been fully triggered yet."
"Stories involving the goddess, really curious... I’ve been crazily chatting with NPCs recently, feels like the game’s background is grand and rich, every NPC has a long, long story, I’m getting close to being obsessed. #Pouted"
"Tsk, tsk, a rare plot enthusiast."
"Not exactly a plot enthusiast, just listen to stories. Those past stories of the elves, and the history and customs of the Segis world, are extremely well done, feels very real, also very gripping, reminds me of playing ’Elder Scrolls’ long, long ago... No, feels even more immersive than that, the worldview is even larger..."
The members of the Mengmeng Committee guild enthusiastically discussed in the chat group.
A goddess? Battle? Hidden plot?
Goo Goo Bird raised an eyebrow.
She thought for a moment, then clicked on the video link.
The entire video was about ten minutes long.
Because it was surreptitiously recorded, the shooting angle wasn’t good, so it didn’t capture the full view of the battle, but instead, this kind of stealth shot conveyed a sense of immersion, fully showcasing the true god’s might...
The whole video depicted Eve Goddess and a silver giant intensely fighting in the air.
And Goo Goo Bird recognized that silver giant as Uller, the true god of half-orcs, whose incarnation players once defeated.
But it was said to be a fight, yet all the goddess did was utter a few orders, each order producing various powers and divine miracles, while the other party was thrashed by the goddess from start to finish...
However, the aftermath from the battle between the two true gods also wreaked havoc on the entire forest area.
Of course, it was all restored with one keystroke by the goddess in the end.
Although the shooting angle wasn’t favorable, the video fully conveyed the goddess’s sheer dominance.
The goddess, although a faction leader NPC, wasn’t a mere quest-giving backdrop, she was a truly badass NPC!
After all... the goddess was the only golden NPC.
Speaking of which... Apart from Goo Goo Bird, most players originally envisioned the goddess as a gentle and serene, holy and dignified figure.
Only after thrashing Demigod Walker once, and then seeing her trounce Uller this time, did Goo Goo Bird feel the goddess had a little bit of an indescribable queen aura...
But, that was quite good too.
Of course, after watching this video, what Goo Goo Bird cared about most was the dialogue between the goddess and Uller:
"Uller said the goddess was a goddess but wasn’t a goddess..."
"The goddess’s revival seemed to be flawed, she seemingly doesn’t remember some previous things...and the goddess wants to know about her past, especially the incident of being besieged by the masses."
"The goddess also wants to reclaim her divine artifact, and judging by the conversation between the two, the artifact might very well be in the hands of the goddess’s enemy..."
"This is very likely the hidden plot!"
Goo Goo Bird made a judgment in her mind.
"Perhaps... I should chat more with NPCs, and then check out those ancient texts unearthed in Feilengcui and Rivendell. Maybe I could discover something."
"Just right, my Elvish has improved quite a bit recently, though I can’t understand all the text in the ancient documents, I can roughly make out seventy to eighty percent of it... Even if I can’t discover any secrets, I might get some leads on relics."
"First I’ll grind some tasks, and during the summer event, I’ll try to get as many lottery tickets as possible, and after the event ends, I’ll do these things."
After contemplating, Goo Goo Bird closed the chat group and headed to the Natural Temple to take on tasks... ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
...
On the World Tree, within Eve’s Divine Country.
A few days were left until the end of the summer event, and Eve also planned to officially open a wider map after the summer event concluded.
She had already prepared everything that needed to be done and was just waiting for the event to end for the next update.
By the way, in these few days, she would also search for materials in the World Tree’s legacy, and flip through the ancient books players brought back from Feilengcui and Rivendell, to see if she could find some clues about the evil god.
She still had to be cautious when fighting faith wars with other true gods.
But when it came to fighting faith wars with the common enemy of true gods—the evil god, there was nothing to worry about.
Of course, as a female main character, Eve also saw the short video shot by players online.
"Not bad, has about thirty percent of my imposing presence."
She casually gave a coin, clicked a like, and then secretly connected to players’ chat systems, searching through relevant materials and browsing players’ feedback...
Don’t ask why; if asked, it’s just curiosity.
Anyway, peeking at players was one of Eve’s joys.
"Pfft... hidden plot? Tsk, I hadn’t thought of it yet, and they’ve already thought it out for me?"
"Hmm, letting players help inquire about the divine artifact, actually, isn’t bad. The premise is to keep their mouths shut and block some sensitive content."
"This matter can actually be combined with the search for clues about the evil god..."
However, as she flipped through, her face turned a bit green:
"Script? What the hell is this?!"
Eve closed the chat system, her expression somewhat rigid.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she quickly connected to Blue Star’s network, directly searching her name in the search engine, along with some special keywords.
Moments later...
Eve fell into silence.
