Chapter 1048 Resolution To Turn The Tables.
The treant's bulking body has been reduced to broken scraps. He has lost both his arms and legs so he can't fight back anymore. If not for the spikes around him, then he would be finished already.
He asked Ragnarok, "How are you so good at fighting? Aren't you less than 1,000 years old?"
He was outmatched in power and abilities so he tried to resist with skill. He figured that since he was older, he should have more experience than Ragnarok in a brawl. He finds out that Ragnarok is even better than him.
Wood elves are not fighters in the first place. They rarely fight with their hands or with melee artifacts. He is the outlier. But his years of experience cannot compare to the 6 steps of weapon mastery. He stood no chance at all. It was as if he was fighting a veteran killer and not some youngling who stumbled into great power.
Ragnarok snickered at him. He said, "You are already at death's door. What use is any information to you? You won't remember it anyway."
The treant lamented. "We made a mistake. You are not young Warrog at all. You must be an Origin god in disguise. Maybe that Rinoz girl deceived us. Imagine that. We were actually fooled by her."
Ragnarok didn't engage in the conversation further. He brought down the cloud of strengthened beads of devouring to finish the job immediately. The beads couldn't do anything to him earlier. But they have grown stronger after engorging on two other origin gods. They were able to shred through his tough woody defense now.
Ragnarok watched as they pulled the Father of Treants apart little by little with a cold gaze and alertness. He has not relaxed yet so there is no way he will engage in banter in this critical moment. He will only relax when his enemy is good and dead.
Talking is a waste of time. It is also time that something unfortunate can happen. He will not be able to rest easy until he kills every one of them. So he made the final blow as soon as possible. Then he withdrew the domain and returned to the world.
He found the Cavern to be empty. All the Sovereigns and Rinoz that were not engulfed by his domain have escaped. The short delay that the Origin gods created with their own domains was enough to allow some of them to escape. The rest were unlucky and died when the domain tore them apart.
His eyes of life found those that escaped easily. They are heading towards the surface to regroup with more forces of the wood elves. He won't be able to catch up to them since the distance between them isn't large. novE-lb-1n
His fight with the Origin gods didn't take as much time as Marlinto's but it still took 2 hours. The wood elves and Rinoz will be able to reach a stronghold before he catches up to them if he chases them so he decided not to run after them.
But he can't stay still. It is likely that the wood elves will not like the fact that he killed three of their Origin gods. They might move to attack him. That will be in addition to the Vampires who are definitely angry with him and are out to get him.
He considered his situation carefully. "I have succeeded in making enemies of the wood elves and the Vampires. It is bad but there is a solution. I just have to give them something else to worry about."
That solution is clear to him. They will leave him alone if something else takes away their attention. It is just that the solution might be dangerous to him too and he will regret it if it doesn't work out.
He said with determination, "I have nothing else to lose. I have offended both parties. All ties have been severed. It is time to turn the tables on all of them."
His eyes had found something interesting deeper into the ground when he was searching for a target. He ignored it because it was too dangerous and because he couldn't eat it. It wasn't worth the risk and effort before. There was no benefit for him in that direction. That has changed now.
He turned his sight towards it now. Deep underground is a blight created by the universe to correct the chaos going on in the plane. This blight is dangerous to every living thing including him.
This blight is so difficult to deal with because it won't disappear until the error created by the demon god of Carnage has been corrected. This will only happen if all the Vampires are wiped out from the plane. Until then, it will rampage throughout the plane.
The blight will also target the food sources of the Vampires to starve them. This blight is so dangerous that it had to be sealed and hidden deep within the ground. If not for his eye of life, he wouldn't have found it.
"This is a crazy idea. I could die." He said with a grin. "But what have I got to lose? If the game is against me, then I will destroy the rules and make a new game."
He is desperate right now. He is so desperate that he is willing to kill himself for a way to turn the tables. He is very powerful but he is only one man. He can't take in all the Vampires or the wood elves.
The Vampires have the demon god while the wood elves have the all-seeing fountain of life and the immortal Origin gods. He will surely be found. It is just a matter of time. Then he will be surrounded.
Even if he manages to evade the hunt, it is a matter of time before the demon god gains access to the plane. He will be in very big trouble then. He is still an ant in a bottle that will be crushed by the demon god when it finally enters the bottle. That threat is still far off. But the threat of many Origin gods and Vampires is very close by.
