Alina did not hesitate at all, she did not dare to take the lives of tens of millions of people to bet whether Naven was lying.

"It's simple. Open the ruins in the Maize Desert to me."

Naven’s voice was cold, leaving no room for bargaining.

"Don't say you can't make the decision. You and I both know that after this war is over, you will become the real decision-maker of Dawn. Although the ruins belong to the elves, they can be used directly with just one word from you."

Just as Alina was about to speak, Naven blocked the words in her mouth.

Everything she wanted to say had already been said.

"Okay, I promise you."

In the end, Elena could only shake her head helplessly. This woman was too shrewd. She felt that she had never failed to be humiliated in front of this girl.

Only when she showed her rogue nature, Naven would be in a state of confusion in a short period of time.

But after that, one often has to endure even greater frustration.

"Very good, you will definitely not regret this decision."

Naven nodded with appreciation for Alina’s decisiveness.

"This thing is a very ancient secret method of the blood clan, and it is only in the hands of the blood clan emperors of successive generations."

"In fact, the effect of this thing is very simple, that is, it can allow the user to gain a very long life, but the cost is also very serious."

Having said that, Naven glanced at Alina, and then continued:

"That means sacrificing 80 million lives."

When Naven said the last part, she even felt her heart tremble.

Eighty million, not eight thousand, this is a very large number.

Even if it was her, she would not directly massacre 80 million lives. It would be too cruel.

I don’t know who among the human race has such a cold heart.

"Eighty million?!"

After hearing Naven’s words, Alina screamed strangely and felt a little dizzy.

The human race has a population of seven billion, but even so, 80 million is a small number. Who is practicing such an evil secret method?

The first person that came to Elena’s mind was Diogenes.

Because he is the Pope of the theocratic church.

There are at least several billion people under the rule of the church.

Only the royal family and theocracy can accomplish such a large-scale population collection quietly within the human territory.

Dean Myron's energies were focused on Dunbaron College, while Mayor Duncan's focus was on the border.

As for Orger, let’s not talk about him. This guy has never paid attention to what happens in the human territory.

Therefore, the management of the secular affairs of the human race has actually always been under the jurisdiction of Emperor Philip and Pope Diogenes.

The two do not interfere with each other and do not pay attention to each other.

Only under such circumstances could Diogenes secretly carry out his evil plan.

"Diogenes, is this your plan, you bastard!"

Elena clenched her fists slightly. She had not expected that this beastly guy had such a terrible evil heart.

"Ah, just a friendly reminder, you still have about two hours, and the destination of this passage should be there."

Looking at Alina’s anxious look, Naven smiled softly, and then pointed in the direction of Tatin.

"Thanks!"

Elina didn't say anything extra. After saying thank you, she flew directly along the passage towards Tatin.

If Naven hadn't pointed out the direction, she really wouldn't have known which way to go.

However, the time is very tight this time. Two hours is indeed enough if teleportation is used.

But at the moment, Elina has no idea where Diogenes is, so she can only fly along the magic channel.

"I hope you still have time, Elena."

When he saw Alina directly turned into a stream of light and disappeared at the end of the sky, Naven smiled lightly, then yawned, and disappeared on the spot.

She has no interest in intervening in the human race's civil strife.

In fact, by not adding fuel to the fire, she was already fulfilling the agreement she made with Elena.

"Dad, can we still go to the sea together?"

At one of the nine altars, a girl nestled in her father's arms, her innocent eyes looking at her father without blinking, but her voice was a little low.

"Yes, I will. Trust Dad. Dad will definitely take you to see the sea!"

The burly man nodded vigorously. Although he was in great pain inside, he still had a confident smile on his face.

"Well, I believe you. Let's make a pinky promise."

As she spoke, the little girl stretched out her little finger and looked at her father with a smile.

In her mind, her father is an omnipotent man.

"Well, let's pull the hook!"

The man forced himself to hold back his tears and hooked his little finger with the girl's little finger.

"Please make a promise and don't change it for a hundred years..."

The girl was singing a familiar nursery rhyme, but as she spoke, she began to feel tired.

"Dad, I'm so sleepy and cold..."

"How about sleeping? You won't be cold if you sleep." The man said with some sadness.

"Um······"

The girl murmured, and then died in the man's arms.

Seeing his daughter losing signs of life, the man hugged his daughter tightly as she began to grow cold.

He opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to cry out, but no sound came out, as if he had lost the ability to speak in an instant.

At this moment, the formation under their feet has begun to take effect. There is a thin red line above everyone's head, and then these lines will be transmitted to a place they don't know through the magic channel.

This red line is their vitality. Since men are young and strong, extracting this vitality is not enough to be fatal.

But his daughter was not so lucky. As her vitality was constantly drained, she eventually lost her life completely.

The men didn't know why this happened to them.

He, his wife, his daughter, and even their entire village were very devout believers who believed in the oracle of the goddess Morrigan.

However, what ultimately caused their family to be broken up was actually their former beliefs.

What an irony.

If there is a future, I will never believe in the so-called God again.

The man had a strange expression on his face. He kissed the girl on the cheek for the last time, picked up the stone beside him, and rushed towards the clergy who were watching over them in the distance. He finally died in the bombardment of magic.

This kind of thing is constantly happening on the nine altars.

Death, resistance, massacre, cruelty and blood have become the main themes of the nine altars. Some clergymen even suffered mental breakdowns because they could not bear it.

However, if he leaves his post, he will be killed by a higher-ranking priest.

Everything is running like a cold machine.

"Here it comes, here it comes, this is the power I want, this is the power I long for!"

As the endless, almost infinite vitality was infused into his body, a look of intoxication appeared on Diogenes' face.

He opened his arms and smiled. He could even feel that his organs, which had been aging with the passage of time, were slowly becoming younger.

Lilith did not deceive him, this method can allow him to have a long life!

"Thank you for your sacrifice, but your death will not be in vain. I will lead humanity to become the strongest and most powerful race in the world. From now on, there will be no more war!"

As if sensing the resentment in that life force, Diogenes bowed very gracefully, without any trace of remorse on his face.

Because, in his mind, everything he did was absolutely just.

"DIOGENES!!!!"

Just as Diogenes was intoxicated by this feeling, a roar came from the distant horizon.

"what?!"

Before Diogenes could even react, he saw a flash of silver lightning across the sky, and then the figure appeared in front of him with supreme pressure.

"Die to me!!!"

Then, he threw a punch, and that punch seemed to be able to destroy the world, and it was infinitely magnified in Diogenes' eyes.

For the first time in his life, Diogenes felt fear in his heart.

Chapter 76: Diogenes' True Strength

"boom."

Even though Elena didn't use her full strength with this punch, she still sent Diogenes flying.

It stopped only after crashing through the entire palace.

And at the moment Diogenes was knocked away, the entire ceremony stopped. The nine magic channels no longer emitted light and slowly became dim.

"Your Majesty the Pope!"

"How dare you! Who are you?!"

After seeing Diogenes being knocked away, the surrounding priests gathered around him, their faces filled with shock and anger.

They had never imagined that in the headquarters of the Theocracy, in Tatin, someone would dare to openly attack His Holiness the Pope.

"roll!"

Looking at the priests who were trying to surround her, Elina simply waved her hand and made them all fly away.

It was not until this moment that the priests realized how terrifying the person before them was.

"I didn't expect that the person who came to Tatin that day was you, Alina."

Diogenes walked out from the flying dust, slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Elena with a sneer.

At this moment, Diogenes had completely lost his youthful appearance and had become an old man.

His skin was no longer smooth, his back was no longer straight, and his eyes became cloudy.

However, despite this, there was a more dangerous aura coming from him.

"Diogenes?"

Elena looked at the Pope in front of her, even a little bit unbelievable. She didn't expect that this guy could hide so deeply.

"You never thought that the human pope would be like this."

After hearing what Elena said, Diogenes laughed strangely twice. The sound was like a night owl, which made people shudder.

Even the priests at the side looked at Diogenes in surprise. They had never imagined that their Pope had been in disguise for so many years.

"Elina, you have an absolutely powerful talent. You are able to become a demigod before the age of 20. Your talent is number one even in the history of the entire continent. Let's join forces. As long as we join forces, we can create a glorious era!"

Diogenes' tone was passionate, as if he had seen the future, a future without wars, disasters, and a civilization dominated by humans.

This world is what he pursues, and he believes that it is also what Elena pursues.

"So, for this purpose, you are going to take the lives of 80 million people today as the price?"

Elena approached Diogenes step by step, the anger in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest, and her expression became even more indifferent.

"Why not? They are just 80 million civilians. They have no talent and cannot become powerful professionals. They also have no wealth. They are useless to a race. So why don't they dedicate their lives to me? Let me make their lives more meaningful!"

Looking at Elena who was approaching him, Diogenes went crazy and spread his heresy.
