Chapter 233

Inside it was a wisp of the God of Darkness's consciousness.

This was the God of Darkness's hidden contingency, concealed for nearly twenty years.

If not discovered, this contingency would remain hidden indefinitely.

Yes, after the Night Elves once broke the pact, the God of Darkness did not directly unleash power to annihilate the Night Elf race.

At that time, the Night Elves still dwelled beside the Elf Empire in the Loki Forest, and the gaze of the Heavenly Realm deities still watched over them.

The God of Darkness was not a being easily ruled by emotion; she weighed gains and losses, choosing the smallest means to deliver the greatest punishment while securing the greatest benefit.

Directly unleashing power to destroy them might have been satisfying, but it was not cost-effective—even though the Abyssal Rift was open then, the cost would still have been immense, for the Night Elves were powerful, and the God of Darkness did not know whether the Elf Empire would intervene.

Direct annihilation at that time would have demanded enormous expenditure; should the Heavenly Realm deities choose to interfere, it would have been even more troublesome!

It was better to exploit the pact and inflict a curse to gain maximum benefit.

Once the curse was cast, even the Heavenly Realm deities would pause to consider.

But the God of Darkness also feared someone might, during the sealed Abyssal Rift, help the Night Elves break the curse.

Thus, the God of Darkness left behind this contingency.

If such a thing truly occurred, she would no longer care—she would choose to annihilate the Night Elves outright!

If not for the fact that half of the Night Elves had already partially broken the curse, the divine power within that phantom would have been twice as strong.

"You dare secretly break my curse? Bear my wrath."

After the phantom took shape, it transformed into the form of a woman.

Her body brimmed with rolling demonic energy, radiating an aura of unspeakable evil.

Merely this phantom filled over fifty thousand Night Elves with overwhelming oppression.

One could imagine how terrifying it would be if the God of Darkness's true body descended.

Of course, such a scenario would not occur for a very long time!

If the God of Darkness truly dared to leave the Abyss and reach the Continent of Gods, even as a powerful demon god within the Abyss, she would surely face many deities of the Heavenly Realm or mighty Saint Realm warriors from the Continent of Gods seeking to strike her down!

The God of Darkness's phantom began muttering incantations.

She was preparing to unleash a supreme technique, consuming all her divine power to wipe out the dungeon and every Night Elf within it!

The Night Elf Queen's expression changed.

For she sensed the energy fluctuations emanating from the God of Darkness were terrifying.

Even as an Eighth-Rank, she might not be able to withstand it!

Yet the Night Elf Queen would not surrender to death—she activated her magic and launched an attack against the God of Darkness's phantom.

Seeing this, every Night Elf within the dungeon drew their weapons and unleashed attacks in unison!

"Foolish creatures. I had intended to harvest your souls later—but since you seek death, I shall reap them early. Though it robs me of much pleasure…"

The God of Darkness's phantom made no attempt to block the combined assault of the Night Elf Queen and tens of thousands of Night Elves!

Letting the spells strike her phantom unimpeded!

To a god, even this phantom—carrying only a wisp of divine power—was of such supreme divine essence that unless one reached A Certain Layer, no matter how numerous the attackers, they posed not the slightest threat!

It was like throwing eggs at a rock: one egg cannot shatter a rock, but if ten thousand eggs were thrown simultaneously with maximum force, could they shatter the rock?
