They want to sell me to humans? They dare to have ideas about the great Mairrel?

Though it was just a passing thought, still…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head helplessly, Eve refocused her attention on her plan against Nidhogg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been discreetly monitoring Mairrel these past few days, staying vigilant against any possible attacks from Nidhogg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the development of events had been a bit unexpected for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t expect that the first to be drawn in after the news she spread through the players would be human mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These mercenaries… were summoned by the Border Earl, who is likely in cahoots with Nidhogg, which means… this is Nidhogg’s doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That guy… actually has the patience to test the waters with mercenaries first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This conclusion caused Eve to frown gradually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nidhogg is still retaining his sanity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the abyss was chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All mythic beings corroded by the abyss’s power became paranoid and insane, vicious and reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for this reason that Eve designed such an obviously flawed plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was blatant stratagem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve believed that utilizing the Little Black Dragon, even a clearly obvious trap, might lure him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she did not expect her opponent to remain much calmer than she perceived…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was very different from the evil god knowledge recorded in the World Tree’s legacy passed down to Eve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be noted that a corrupted evil god found it very difficult to resist their desires, mostly acting according to their instincts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does this mean… Nidhogg suppressed the abyss’s corrosion on his consciousness? He retains his intellect though having abyss power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did she manage that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Eve became more curious about Nidhogg’s state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this almost broke the conventional understanding of abyss corruption recorded in the World Tree’s legacy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although the opponent behaved beyond her expectations, Eve still looked calm and composed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scouting mercenaries? Perhaps… they also have their own believers hidden?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since his true self resides in the Segis World, Nidhogg should also have the ability to switch freely between the perspectives of his believers like I can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Eve toyed with a rough Skull Necklace, the corners of her mouth lifting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just some extra experience points.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1239,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.556Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.252Z",1,"novelbin.me","19aa599df76f6cc432978cba1cb505fed459d42e669b8f79132eec347e991c44","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-332","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-330",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
