Chapter 584

Angest and Olivia thus diverged in their views.

In Angest's view, fighting these dark creatures in the Dark Forest was too disadvantageous.

To resolve darkness, one must understand darkness.

So she willingly immersed herself in darkness.

When Olivia learned that Angest had chosen to understand darkness, Olivia, as the Queen of Light and an embodiment of ultimate radiance, naturally could not tolerate it.

Olivia believed Angest had fallen due to her craving for power.

The Goddess of Light was also furious and no longer favored Angest.

At the time, wounded and enraged, Olivia even declared Angest expelled from the Elf race.

Angest left silently, never responding to Olivia's contact for a thousand years.

Over these thousand years, she gathered a vast number of fallen elves and continuously studied the rules of darkness above the massive fissure, growing ever stronger.

She finally held back the dark creatures constantly surging from the fissure.

The elves of Loki Forest would never know that their peaceful, tranquil lives were made possible because Angest bore the burden for them.

Of course, more fissures appeared; weaker dark creatures emerging from other fissures took over the Dark Forest and gradually grew stronger.

The Skeleton Monsters were one such example.

But these dark creatures made the Dark Forest their home; as long as no one invaded their territory, they would not attack others.

So Angest generally did not interfere with them—the Dark Forest was too vast for her to manage entirely.

After recounting all this, several more hours had passed.

This was the first time Angest had spoken of these secrets.

Angest suddenly felt much lighter.

These secrets had been buried in her heart for over a thousand years.

Now, she had finally found a Sudeji Society.

Even if the Yanzhizhu Society likely did not listen to her confession, merely speaking them aloud lifted a great weight from her.

"Will the Yanzhizhu Society respond to me?"

She could not help but feel both anticipation and nervousness.

At this moment, she was no different from a young girl.

After all, before becoming a fallen elf, Angest had merely been an elf girl!

Back then, how young she was—her face always radiant with smiles, her whole being filled with sunlight, confident in everything she did.

It was she who proposed clearing the Dark Forest.

How young she was then, yet she proposed such a bold plan!

That plan was truly great!

She was the Elf race's genius, its brightest jewel; the charm radiating from her was even more captivating than Olivia's.

But since she willingly immersed herself in darkness, though her face still looked young and beautiful, her smiles vanished.

Around her, there was no longer sunlight—only darkness so thick it could not be dissolved!

In the first five hundred years of the past millennium, she relentlessly studied darkness, deepening her understanding of it, using darkness to combat darkness.

In the latter five hundred years, she constantly suppressed her power to prevent it from growing too rapidly.

Her body bore numerous seals, each restraining a portion of her strength.

These seals had multiplied to the point where no more could be added!

Once these seals were broken, her combat power would surge dramatically.

But she would never break them herself.

Whether human or elf, the growth of power always strikes the soul.

This was certain.

Just as an ordinary person, rising from penniless poverty to billionaire wealth, would inevitably change in mindset.

And power is a more intoxicating thing than money.

Especially when it is dark power.

Dark power inherently corrupts the soul!

Angest waited in silence.

About ten minutes later, Angest's face lit up with joy.

Because the Yanzhizhu Society had responded to her!
