Zongman, the history of a devil's rise

All that was left was a ruined city and an endless abyss that stretched as far as the eye could see.

……

The world's transformation has begun.

As mentioned before, the Elf King represents the elements of the world and the laws of the world.

If the Elf Kings still existed in this world, there would naturally be no chaos in the world.

Either the Elf King is being controlled or has gone mad.

It’s just because there is no problem with their origin.

Even if I die, it's the same.

Their origin will return to the world, maintaining the operation of the laws between heaven and earth.

But if their power was completely isolated from this world, it would be completely different.

"Lord Greyvas, the news just came that the Valencis Territory has completely fallen."

On the high earth wall, Greyvas, wearing a dark outfit, stood behind the fortifications, listening to the report of a girl who was dressed very similarly to her but had a very petite figure.

And this report inevitably made Greyvas frown.

"Why did it fall? Aren't the earth walls well-defended?"

"Although we cannot completely eliminate the black mud, it should be no problem to temporarily block it."

She once thought that she attached great importance to this strange substance.

She also thought that even if there was a nationwide outbreak, the experience she had gained should be enough to control the disaster.

But the real situation gave her a slap in the face.

The several territories where the news spread were indeed under control.

But in this place where news has to be delivered by humans on horseback, to remote areas of the empire and to alert surrounding countries, how much time would it take?

It took her five full days to get from Alessia Elf Academy to Balsas Prison.

Moreover, even if other countries receive the message, whether they can pay enough attention to it is another matter.

All these circumstances added together, plus the fact that these strange substances appear in remote corners of the world, places where not many people usually go.

By the time people started to pay attention, they discovered that the amount of black mud had reached a scale that was difficult to handle.

"Lord Valensis has followed your request and asked the earth-attributed elves to build fortifications and construct canals and other fortifications."

"But after five days of stalemate with the black mud, a magnitude 10 earthquake suddenly broke out in Valencis City."

"Not only the residents and knights suffered huge losses due to this sudden disaster."

"What's more regrettable is that the fortifications also completely collapsed due to this strong earthquake. The black mud that had already formed an encirclement directly swallowed up the Valencis Province completely."

The petite ANBU reported to Greywas in a deep voice.

"Earthquake? Again?"

If the previous message notification problem accounts for a large part of the current situation.

The recent frequent natural disasters such as tsunamis, fires, earthquakes and hurricanes are also a big reason for this.

The frequent natural disasters in various places are like the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Not only did the black mud multiply rapidly, but it also caused a reduction in food production, damage to houses, and fortifications...

"What is going on? Why are there so many natural disasters recently?"

The petite ANBU shook his head.

“All countries are investigating this issue.”

"The witches of the God's Council are also performing prayer dances for the Elf Kings day and night, praying that the Elf Kings can come forward and quell the disaster of the entire world."

"But so far, the Elf Kings have not responded."

This is a common practice among humans in this world.

Just like our ancient people, when they encountered any natural disasters, they would pray for God’s forgiveness.

But in this world, people's prayers really work.

Because once a large-scale natural disaster occurs, more than 90% of the time it is caused by the Elf King.

It was like a fire that had spread across the Odyssey Empire for a whole year and could not be extinguished.

That is the manifestation of the wrath of the Fire Elf King.

Therefore, humans now also believe that the Elf King must have brought down these disasters because something humans did to anger them.

The reason why there has been no response must be because the Elf King is still angry.

Therefore, the witches in the Council of Gods were replaced in batches, dancing non-stop for 24 hours just to get the forgiveness of the Elf King.

However, after hearing what the Anbu said, Greyvas suddenly fell silent.

The Anbu was still talking non-stop.

until!

Greyworth's sudden words interrupted her statement.

"Have the priestesses of the God's Council ever considered going into the True Sacrifice Temple and begging for forgiveness from the Elf Kings in person?"

The Anbu's voice suddenly stopped, and then he looked at Greyvas with a puzzled look, as if he was a little confused as to why she asked such a question.

"How is this possible? The Elf King is already in a state of rage."

"Wouldn't it be adding fuel to the fire if we directly entered the Elf King's residence without his permission at this time?"

"So, you haven't considered a possibility?"

"What can..."

The Anbu raised his face and saw Greywas's face which was as gloomy as water.

At this moment, her thoughts also diverged.

Then she understood.

She understood what the world's most powerful elf was thinking, but that was also why the expression on her face was as if she had experienced a severe earthquake.

"You...you, what's wrong? Well, but...but..."

To be honest, she almost jumped up.

She really wanted to know why Greyvas thought this way.

That’s the Elf King, the most powerful Elf King in the world.

She actually thought that something unexpected happened to the Elf King, and five Elf Kings at once. She didn't know what to say now.

"Why not?"

"Have you forgotten what happened in the elemental spirit world as recorded in the historical records?"

"Although the Elf Kings are powerful, there are still beings who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them."

Looking at the surging black mud beneath her feet, it was easy to tell from Greyvas's frosty face that she was in a bad mood.

The mood of the Anbu was also like a stormy sea, and they fell into a state of silence.

After a long while, she spoke again.

"Isn't that a legend we invented ourselves?"

In response, Greyvas just shook her head slightly.

Then she pressed one hand on the piece of soil that she had spit out in front of her, and a terrifying black mist burst out from her body.

“Who can give an accurate answer to the historical truth?”

……

The Anbu left.

Originally, she came here to follow Greyvas, but given the current situation, she can no longer stay here.

She now had to return to the imperial capital, Osdachia, to explain the matter.

She instinctively hoped that Greyvas's guess was incorrect, but sometimes some things were afraid of being exposed. She now felt more and more that what Greyvas said was very likely.

The Anbu left, and Greyvas returned to her tent.

She is now in Lunlaus Territory, where she is resisting the invasion of black mud and protecting the country's capital.

Infusing the fortifications and barriers with divine power is what every elf guarding here now has to do.

Divine power does not come into being naturally; only humans and elves can condense divine power.

This was also the reason why she suddenly burst out with divine power just now.

Just take turns coming in batches. How can such a large-scale elf barrier be supported by just a few people?

Now that Grayvas had just used up all the divine power he had accumulated, he returned to his tent to rest.

However, even if she returned to the tent, as the commander-in-chief in charge of everything, she could not rest.

"But, just like she said, I hope my guess is not true."

Greyvas rubbed her brows and put down the pen she was signing with.

Compared to other young elf masters, she, who is nearly forty years old, actually has a more thorough understanding of the world.

Her evaluation of the Elf King, an existence that is superior to humans, is mixed.

What does good mean?

The Elf King is not like humans who have too many desires, so as long as he is served respectfully, the normal operation of the world and good weather can be guaranteed.

It’s for worship!

It is even easier to worship an elf than a king.

What is bad?

Because over the past hundred years, the Elf King's behavior has become increasingly abnormal, and he has frequently made all kinds of unprecedented and bizarre demands.

The previous Fire Elf King had also sent down fire from the sky. If the fire had continued, the Odyssia Empire would have been declared extinct long ago.

This is the disadvantage of having too much power in the hands of one person and the strength is not evenly distributed.

Greyvas was actually dissatisfied with this situation.

But the situation now is different. If the Elf King disappeared or died for no reason under normal circumstances, she might be very happy.

The problem is that if the Elf King is not the one causing the frequent disasters now, who can quell these disasters in the future?

The world may be on the verge of destruction soon.

At this moment, a slim female figure appeared outside the tent and came in without any greeting.

"Lord Greyvas, I have taken care of everything you asked me to do."

If you have read the original novel, you might know this woman. She is the instructor of Alessia Elf Academy, Freya Gulando.

He is also a retired member of the Anbu among Alessia's students.

"Have all the students been sent back to their homes?"

"Well, they were sent back through the passage to the elemental spirit world, but there are still a large number of people whose homes have been completely devoured and whose homes have no doors left behind are stranded here."

Greyvas only found out about the complete engulfment of the Alessia Elf Academy after she saw her own academy.

She had just arrived here to take up her post, and the gate to the elemental spirit world opened.

From the moment her students came out, she already knew what Alessia Academy was facing.

"In that case, let's go ask everyone if they are willing to participate in the city defense."

"If they can join us, it will be easier to maintain the barrier."

Those who can study at Alessia Elf Academy are considered excellent elf users in the country.

Freya also nodded.

"Except for those who are still grieving the loss of their family members, many children have volunteered to me."
