The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 150 Seven Gifts from the Seven Outer Gods!

Prince Elf scoffed:

"so what?"

"All your schemes and tricks are meaningless before the gods!"

"You monsters can't even beat us."

The mind-stealers being interrogated immediately showed anger on their faces:

"The strength of our people far exceeds your imagination!"

"Currently, our species has a total of 72 ships in this universe, numbered from 1 to 72."

"Generally, the more important, valuable, and heavily armed a spaceship is, the earlier its number will be."

"The residents of our city come from the crashed Spaceship No. 65. It was a marginal spaceship that was carrying out auxiliary exploration missions and was not equipped with much combat capability at all."

what?
Seymour was startled:
"You guys are considered to lack combat power?"

One mid-tier legendary Mind Flayer, two low-tier legendary perfect Mind Flayers, several hundred near-high-tier ordinary Mind Flayers, and over 1 monster slaves.

Even among the twenty-four great elven families, only the royal families of "Whispers of the Moon" and "Radiant Sun" could possibly hold a firm grip on such military strength!
El-Erian smiled gently at Seymour's astonished expression.

He also knew that this fleet that had traveled through time was just one of many fleets from the distant Mindbreaker Empire during the future apocalyptic war.

The races of the Outer Gods' followers are not limited to the Mind Flayers.

"of course."

The mind-stealer who had just spoken proudly puffed out its chest:

"Spaceship No. 1 is the fleet's mothership, as huge as a mountain, carrying more important secret missions that we don't know about."

"The spaceships numbered 2 through 9 are all main warships with different functions. Each warship is a weapon of destruction and is overseen by a high-level legendary mastermind."

"Our strength far exceeds the imagination of your Elven Kingdom!"

Alamir snorted angrily:
"So what? No matter how powerful your military is, it's only relative to us mortal elves."

"Before the great elven gods, they are nothing but tiny insects."

"Oh, speaking of which, who was the ugly god who created your race?"

The mind flayer suddenly flew into a rage, but was then restrained by the magic circle:
"We...we certainly also have great beings we admire..."

"And not just one!"

"Seven...seven people..."

"We simultaneously worship seven great beings!"

Just as the mind flayer opened its mouth as if to say something, Elian raised an eyebrow and instantly became alert, wary that the mind flayer might utter too much dangerous and forbidden knowledge.

"Although...although I...can't remember anything..."

The mind flayer lowered his head dejectedly.

El-Erian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is said that the Mind Flayers were created by only one of the seven most powerful Outer Gods from a distant land—the ruler of dreams and illusions.

However, the Mind Flayer Empire also holds reverence for the other six powerful Outer Gods.

Just then, the mind flayer suddenly remembered something and immediately raised its head:

"However... however, I vaguely remember... when our fleet traveled through time and space, each of those seven great beings bestowed upon us a gift."

The gift of the seven Outer Gods?
El-Erian's gaze suddenly froze.

"what gift?"

"I ask you curiously," Seymour asked.

The mind flayers' eyes became glazed, and they murmured in a tone as if in a dream:
"We are just a very peripheral ship, and we don't have the opportunity to access such classified information."

"But we heard briefly that it was a gift that carried the power of seven great beings..."

"A long dream, stars, intrigue. Abundant seeds, the end of all things, the door to the ultimate answer."

"Yes, it's these [7]... seven great beings... seven gifts..."

What is all this? I don't understand at all...

Seymour scratched the left side of his head, his emerald green compound eyes filled with confusion.

Elf and Lia, the two sun elf princesses, were also extremely confused. They increasingly suspected that the monster in front of them had mental problems and was just talking nonsense.

"Alright, that's enough."

Elion has temporarily halted this discussion, which directly involves the Outer Gods:

"Let's move on to the next question."

The people around them agreed, not believing that the Mind Flayer could provide any useful information on a topic they themselves couldn't even remember.

As the distorted and insane reality around him gradually returned to normal, Elian's heart, which had been pounding in his chest, eased slightly, while a chill ran down his spine—

Sure enough, apart from me who was prepared, none of the legends present realized how insane reality was twisted in the brief few seconds after the mention of Outer Gods...

"last question."

"Where are the remaining 71 ships besides yours?" Elion asked with a grave expression.

"We've lost contact with most of the ships..."

The mind flayers answered blankly:

"All we know is that at least one spaceship has fallen into the abyss, and another has fallen into the deepest hell."

"In addition, other spaceships have crashed on this planet. But we don't know their exact locations; the mainframe has always been responsible for contacting them."

"Most importantly, we have more than 20 spaceships that have established a base on a distant planet and conquered its native inhabitants. Among them are three [capable warships]. This is our current strongest fighting force."

Just then, the gazes of those mind-stealers suddenly turned crazed, their eyes turning blood red:
"Before the mastermind died, it sent messages to all known members of its kind."

"Our people already know of your existence!"

"Within the next 50 years, an expeditionary force from a distant planet will arrive, control your will, and avenge us and the fallen Mastermind!"

Seeing these mind flayers displaying crazed expressions even in their charmed state, the sun elves were somewhat dismissive.

"Alright, let's end the interrogation here."

Elian turned to the crowd behind him:

Do you have any other questions?

Afterwards, several elves and humans asked some other questions.

The mind flayers failed to reveal any valuable information, only occasionally uttering phrases like "god-making plan," but without any details.

Disappointed, the group had no choice but to end the interrogation.

After transforming the mind flayers back into small animals and shrunken stone statues, Elion turned his head to gaze at the burned-to-the-ruins of the mind flayer city, his expression grave and filled with worry:
"The situation is a hundred times worse than I imagined!"

"What has traversed time and space is not just an ordinary Mind Flayer fleet, but also a gift from the Seven Outer Gods."

"I wonder what each of the seven Outer Gods sent back to this era."

"If the Mind Flayers carry tokens containing the aura of the Outer Gods, they can contact the Outer Gods' servants who have infiltrated the Great Wheel Universe."

"At that time, the enemy we will face will be far more than just the Mind Flayer!"

Even before the apocalyptic war began, the Outer Gods had a large number of servants within the Colossus.

For example, monsters like the "Eye Demon" do not come directly from distant lands, but they have been corrupted by those lands, making them essentially the followers of outer gods.

For example, the "evil sorcerer" profession that worships stars and outer gods.

For example, many ancient evils, older than the gods themselves, are offspring and avatars of outland gods from distant lands who infiltrated at the beginning of creation—such as the Crimson Queen (Piscaethces), who created the [Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish] race, and the [Corrupted Mother Tree], which harbors a distorted maternal love for all living beings…

Eldoron is too weak at present. It took them the help of four legendary elves to barely win against the crew of a single ship, number 65.

The only piece of good news is...

Elian glanced at Leah and Seymour, the two royal members of the Sun and Moon Elves, and said in a deliberately serious tone:
"It seems that the true target of these mind flayers is your elven god of longevity, the lord of continuity and unity, Rabelas."

"This is a matter of great importance concerning the elven gods. Upon returning to the elven royal court, we must inform Her Majesty the Queen. Furthermore, we must have the legendary priests inform the elven gods of Avando during their prayers."

The two elves nodded:
"no problem!"

Although they had no belief that these mind flayers could do anything to threaten the gods, the necessary reports were still required.

Looking at the elves' expressions, Elian smiled faintly to himself.

— Shifting the blame eastward!
There's no way around it; Eldoron is still too weak right now.

The only hope is that the Elven Royal Court and the Elven Gods can stand in front and help draw more fire from the outer gods, giving Eldoron some time to develop.

……

Dawn.

The elves took some of the Mind Flayer's corpses and their own loot with them, and the group teleported away from the underground world.

After seeing the elven delegation off, Elian gently raised his chin, his gaze deep and unfathomable:

"After all this, the future king of the Sun and Moon Elves can be considered an ally of Eldoron in a sense. Once the two of them ascend the throne, Eldoron's situation will probably improve considerably."

"The work of conquering the Elven Royal Court has taken a small step forward..."

In Elion's vision, although Eldoron is currently a human-dominated nation, in the future, all races of the world—whether elves or dragons, angels or demons—will ultimately become part of Eldoron's power, forming subordinate nations and becoming part of "Greater Eldoron."

【Great Eldoron】is everything in the entire universe.

This was the goal he had set from the very beginning—

Gather the power of heaven and earth to resist the external gods!

Of course, the Elven Royal Court is still far too powerful compared to Eldoron. It will probably take several centuries to completely conquer this continental overlord.

However, it was a good first step after all.

.........

Mid-year of the 11th year of the Empire.

The elven delegation, led by Seymour Moon Whisper and accompanied by Alamir Goldfleur, a sun elf mage who had been captured by humans, concluded their two-month visit to Eldoron and returned to the elven royal court.

History has turned a new page.
