Chapter 242 The Elf King's Nightmare
"roll."
The Elf King uttered a cold word expressionlessly.
The God of Darkness chuckled softly, and looked at the Elf King with unusual tenderness, like a father indulging his child's rudeness.
"When you were born, you were tiny and adorable. When I went to see you, you were curled up in a soft cradle with your bare bottom, your whole body radiating the pure element of light. Ryan proudly showed you off to me, saying that you were his new creation, the only child of light."
"I've always disliked Ryant. Anything he liked, I wanted to snatch from him. I was standing in front of the cradle, looking at you, when you suddenly opened your eyes and stretched out your arms toward me, looking like you wanted a hug."
"The more I see you, the more I like you. For the first time in history, I give you my blessing."
"My lovely Ferris, you are the only little creature I have ever blessed. Why don't you want to be my child?"
The Elf King remained indifferent to the Dark God's words and sarcastically said, "Blessing? It's clearly a curse."
The God of Darkness raised his eyebrows, let go of the Elf King's chin, and stood up slowly. The tenderness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by indifference.
"I'm just planting a small seed of darkness in your body to give you another choice."
"Choice?" The Elf King said firmly, "I am the Son of Light, created by the God of Light. I will never become the Son of Darkness."
The God of Darkness curled his lips, his gaze shifting to the fairy in his arms. "Although you've sealed the seeds of darkness within you with the element of light, unfortunately, all it takes is a single opportunity for them to sprout and take root. And he is that opportunity."
Cracks appeared on the Elf King's perfect face as he stared at the God of Darkness.
The God of Darkness spoke with pity, "You see, life is so fragile. No matter how you protect it, it will disappear. You are powerful and have the power to seal me, but you can't protect your lover."
"He is dead. I killed him. You will lose him forever."
"Fris, do you hate me?" The Dark God looked at the red light flashing in the Elf King's eyes and curled his lips into a strange smile. "You're right to hate me. When hatred completely takes over your heart, that will be the day the Dark Seed breaks free from its seal."
The red light in the Elf King's eyes flashed away and returned to pure green.
"I said before, I am the Son of Light created by the God of Light, and I will never become the Son of Darkness."
The God of Darkness lowered his head as his chest was pierced by a silver sword. Dark red blood flowed out along the blade to the hilt, staining the fair hands of the Elf King red.
The Elf King thrust his sword forward, allowing it to penetrate deeper.
"This is... the Sword of Carlos..." The Dark God whispered, unconcerned about being stabbed. His deep eyes fixed on the Elf King, "My good boy, you stabbed me twice with this sword. Last time you successfully sealed me, but this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."
His body turned into nothingness, starting from his feet, slowly melting into the darkness, until only his head remained, his thin lips slightly parted.
"Until next time, my dark child."
When the God of Darkness disappeared, the fairy corpse in the Elf King's arms turned into starlight and disappeared without a trace.
The Elf King stared at the starlight in a daze, loosened the Sword of Carlos in his hand, and made a hugging gesture, as if he wanted to hold the starlight in his arms.
However, the starlight dissipated quickly and he didn't hold on to anything.
The Elf King maintained the hug for a long, long time, until the surrounding scenery collapsed.
After an unknown amount of time, the ruined palace disappeared and the surrounding scene changed.
In the courtyard of the Crystal City, the leaves of the Elf Mother Tree have withered, leaving the tree bare and desolate. However, the most shocking thing is a golden-haired fairy "nailed" to the tree trunk.
His wings were broken, his head drooped, his face was pale, and his heart was pierced by a spear. A large amount of bright red blood flowed down the trunk of the mother tree, staining a large area of the roots red.
The Elf King stood in front of the tree, covered in wounds. The pain in his body made him shaky, and he only relied on the sword in his hand stuck in the ground to support himself.
He kept staring at the blond goblin nailed to the tree trunk. There was no sadness or joy on his handsome face, only two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes.
The God of Darkness walked out gracefully from behind the trunk of the mother tree, seeming to be very satisfied with the effect he had caused, with a dazzling smile on his feminine face.
"Fris, do you like the gift I gave you?" he asked the Elf King.
The Elf King seemed to be oblivious to his words.
The God of Darkness stepped on the blood of the blond goblin and approached the Elf King step by step. He stood in front of him and blocked his sight.
"Sometimes I really don't understand Ryan. He had already created the elves, so why did he create the goblins?" He sighed, "The goblins are too fragile. I didn't even do anything and they died."
The Elf King rolled his emerald green eyes and said hoarsely, "You killed him."
The God of Darkness smiled: "Yes, I killed him. So, do you hate me?"
The Elf King's eyes instantly turned blood red.
The Dark God saw this and immediately showed a delighted expression. "You finally—"
The next second, his heart was pierced by Carlos' sword.
The blood-red in the Elf King's eyes disappeared, and after the Dark God's body disintegrated, he gently looked at the blond goblin nailed to the tree trunk.
"Next time, I won't lose you again..."
The world collapsed again and everything turned to nothing.
The Elf King stood alone in the darkness, watching the fragments dissipate and then reassemble.
The third time, he faced the corpse of the blond goblin and listened woodenly to the dark god's ruthless words.
The fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time...
The string in the Elf King's heart finally broke, and it seemed as if something in the void was shattered. Endless darkness gathered from all directions and penetrated into his brows.
As the power of darkness grew, the Elf King's waist-length golden hair gradually turned black from the roots to the ends, and his eyes, filled with hatred, turned blood red.
The God of Darkness saw his changes and smiled triumphantly.
"Ah, my lovely Fries, you have finally become a child of darkness."
The Elf King suddenly teleported in front of him, raised his hand to grab his neck, and said coldly: "No, I said, I will never become a child of darkness."
He pinched hard, and the Dark God's body turned into a wisp of black smoke, floating in the air.
Faced with the collapsing world, a dazzling light was released from the Elf King's body. The light drove away the darkness, and a bright passage appeared in front.
The Elf King raised his foot and stepped into the passage without hesitation.
As he went deeper and deeper into the passage, his jet-black hair turned back to shining blonde.
In the villa, a young man in a formal suit was pulling a little boy of five or six years old, urging him repeatedly, "Shu Li, hurry up."
The little boy blinked his beautiful eyes, looked around, and asked curiously, "Where is this?"
"Of course it's my secret base." The boy said proudly, "As long as you hide there, I guarantee Shu Wang won't find you."
"Really?" Little Shu Li asked innocently, "If Shu Wangwang can't find me, I'll win."
"That's right." The boy curled his lips, his eyes full of disgust, "Hurry up, we'll be at the hut soon."
"Oh." Little Shu Li followed the boy's footsteps with her short legs. "Li Dada, why don't you hide yourself?"
The boy called Li Dada frowned. "How many times have I told you my name is Li Yueda?"
Little Shu Li wrinkled his nose and nodded obediently: "Okay, Li Dada."
Li Yueda gritted his teeth. "You're so stupid! How come you can't even remember someone's name?"
Little Shu Li immediately denied it: "How could that be? I remember the eldest brother's name was Shu Hao, the second brother's name was Shu He, and the third brother's name was Shu Yi."
Li Yueda said impatiently: "Okay, okay, we're here."
A large and a small child stood in front of an abandoned attic. Little Shu Li raised his neck, opened his bright eyes wide, looked at the dilapidated attic, and asked softly, "Li Dada, is this your secret base?"
Li Yueda pushed him and said, "Yes, go in quickly."
"But..." Little Shu Li was frightened and didn't dare to move.
Li Yueda thought he was taking too long, so he simply went forward and pushed the door open. Then, regardless of little Shu Li's struggle, he picked him up, stepped on the dust, walked to a room on the second floor, and opened the cabinet door.
"Go in and hide." He stuffed little Shu Li into the closet and said seriously, "Remember, don't leave until someone comes to look for you."
Little Shu Li sat in the closet with her legs bent, curled up in a ball. "What if it gets dark?"
Li Yueda said: "If it's dark and Shu Wang hasn't found you, you win. I will come back and take you back."
Xiao Shuli bit her lip and nodded heavily: "Okay, I won't leave."
Li Yueda smiled with satisfaction and instructed again, "Remember, don't leave until I come. If you win this game of hide-and-seek, Shu Wang will give you his latest Gundam model."
"Okay!" Xiao Shuli's eyes lit up when he heard about the Gundam model, "I want to win!"
"That's right." Li Yueda closed the cabinet door, left the room, and quickly went downstairs, muttering to himself.
"Children are so easy to fool... The three brothers in front are all smarter than the other, so why is the youngest one such a fool..."
Little Shu Li hugged her knees with her hands, leaned against the dark cabinet, and waited quietly.
However, after a while, he could no longer sit still, so he let go of his knees and put his hands on the cabinet door, trying to push it out. Halfway through, he gave up and sat back in the cabinet.
No, he can't leave.
Li Dada said that as long as he won the game of hide-and-seek this time, Shu Wangwang would give him the Gundam model.
That Gundam model is so beautiful, he likes it very much, but he just asked his mother to buy a rocket model last week, so he was embarrassed to ask for it this week.
My cousin is getting married today, and the adults are busy, so the children gathered together to play games. Shu Wangwang showed off his toys and suggested playing hide-and-seek. Whoever wins gets the toy.
Originally, Shu Li was not suitable to participate due to his age, but he wanted the Gundam model so much that he insisted on participating.
Shu Wangwang was in a dilemma, and Li Yueda suddenly spoke up and said he could participate.
Afterwards, Li Yueda brought little Shuli to this abandoned attic.
For the sake of the Gundam model, little Shu Li held back, let go of the hand that pushed the cabinet door, and sat back.
It was dark in the cupboard and quiet outside. In order not to let himself be scared, he counted silently in his mind.
One, two, three, four...
Count from one to one hundred, then stop counting and start from the beginning.
He counted over and over again like this, not knowing how many times he had counted. He began to feel tired and kept yawning.
He rubbed his eyes, stretched his stiff limbs, and carefully pushed the cabinet door open a tiny crack.
It was dark outside.
He retreated into the closet and hugged himself.
It was dark, why didn't Li Dada come to find me?
Endless fear rose in little Shu Li's heart, and he closed his eyes in fear.
“Pah pah pah——”
It's the sound of wind blowing against the windows.
“Boom—”
Lightning and thunder.
Little Shu Li curled up into a ball, sweating profusely, and his chubby little face had lost its color.
So scary! So scary! So scary!
Why don't you come to him?
Why leave him here alone?
Why don’t you go out earlier?
Woo woo woo——
He let out a soft sobbing sound, tears rolling down his face.
As it rained and thundered outside, his fear reached its peak.
"Dad, Mom, Brother... I'm scared..."
At the moment when my nerves broke, the cabinet door suddenly opened.
Little Shu Li looked up in horror and stared straight ahead in horror.
Light.
He saw a ball of warm light.
In the light, a blond-haired, green-eyed elf squatted in front of him, looking at him gently and extending his hand to him.
"Come."
Little Shu Li stared at him blankly, and her fear gradually subsided.
"Where are you going?"
The Elf King said softly, "Go kill the monster."
Little Shu Li's mouth flattened, tears like pearls fell down, and she threw herself towards the Elf King in grievance.
When he threw himself into the arms of the Elf King, his body changed from the little Shuli with black hair and black eyes to a little elf with golden hair, pointed ears and long wings.
