The large tree of life in the courtyard.

In a hidden corner, Beeldandi is contacting Druitan who is far away in the Crucible Basin through ghost resonance.

"Dretan, I was trapped in the Great Tree of Life by Rosen."

Druitan’s reply was immediate: “How is that possible? I’m here to help!”

"No, don't come over here! Do two things right now."

"First, send 1,000 Crucible Warriors over to burn the Great Tree of Life."

Druitan was shocked. "Burn the Great Tree of Life? There are three million spirits in the tree."

At least 30% of them are warrior souls waiting to be reincarnated, and a large part of them are preparing to be transformed into lava warriors.

If this were to be lost, how could the war be fought? Not to mention the lofty status of the Great Tree of Life in the Holy Elf Empire.

If it really burned down, it would be an extremely heavy blow to the confidence of the empire, and the empire might even disintegrate as a result.

He refused without hesitation: "No, we can't do this!"

Belldandy yelled, "Stupid!"

"Didn't you listen to me?"

"Rosen, the emperor of the Natural Empire, is at the Great Tree of Life!"

"As long as he is killed, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the Nature Empire, no less severe than the destruction of the Great Tree of Life!"

Dritan was immediately convinced: "I'll send the lava warriors over right away. 1,000 is too few, I'll send 5,000. No, I'll send all 20,000 mature warriors!"

"madness!"

Belldandy cursed again.

"Send at most 2,000 of them. The remaining 18,000 warriors will take off to the Natural Empire immediately and find a large city with a large population, preferably the capital. Attack whichever city is closest."

Druitan was confused and panicked.

Because the current situation was far beyond his expectations.

He never thought that Rosen would dare to come to Atlassen's Great Tree of Life to cause trouble, and even trapped Beeldandi.

This means that there is no safe place in the mortal world anymore. If the Emperor of Nature finds his hiding place, that will be his end! He asked anxiously, "What about the second thing?"

"Immediately send the Saint to the War God Realm to inform Lord Hegrid of my entrapment."

"Tell him that I can only hold out for six hours at most. If no one comes to rescue me within six hours, I will die."

"Okay, okay~~ I'll do it right away!"

At the same time, there was a void outside the ring outside the great tree of life.

Rosen was carefully observing the situation inside the magic ring cage.

Although the place is not big, a large number of elves are trapped in the cage.

Among them, there are more than 600 upper elves, including five legendary flying dragons.

That's nothing.

What really gets in the way are the various elven souls running around.

Inside the sphere with a diameter of 600 meters, there are as many as 500,000 elf souls!

The soul of an elf is composed of low-energy spiritual essence, which can be large or small, and can overlap like waves.

Because of the convergence of the eleven magic rings and the special rules of the magic rings, these elves' souls appear within the eleven magic rings.

The flying creatures float back and forth, sometimes overlapping and sometimes dispersing, just like a game server with so many people that it is about to crash.

It is quite difficult to find a hiding Void God in such a place.

There is a simple, crude and cruel way, which is to kill all the elven souls waiting for reincarnation.

This is not a difficult task.

Because although these souls are quite strong, they are in a very weak state.

The size of each elf soul is very small, less than 0.1 Rosen, like a tiny firefly.

Even if 500,000 elf souls were added together, the total power would be less than 50,000 Rosens.

With Rosen's current strength, crushing them to death is as easy as popping a bubble.

But Rosen certainly wouldn't do that. It's unnecessary and a huge waste.

After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a solution.

He used the collective soul voice on the elf soul in the magic ring cage.

"Quiet~~~Everyone, be quiet~~Don't panic!"

After attracting the attention of the Elf Soul, he continued: "I have no ill will towards you. I will also open some passages inside the Great Tree of Life for you to leave."

"All you have to do is line up and pass in front of me one by one."

As he spoke, Rosen opened twenty special soul passages in the magic ring cage.

This channel is like a limiting valve, allowing only souls with a strength lower than 1 Rosen to pass through at a time.

After the passage was opened, Rosen stood beside it and guarded it.

As long as Berudandi dares to show up, he will capture him immediately.

As time passed, the elf's soul left the magic ring cage through the passage like flowing water.

The spirits are very light and can overlap, so they leave very quickly, with at least 5,000 leaving in one second.

At this rate, all the elf souls will be evacuated in less than five minutes.

As the density of the elf souls in the cage dropped rapidly, the soul mist naturally faded quickly.

Just as the "muddy water" was about to become clear, a violent soul fluctuation suddenly emerged in a corner of the cage, and a deep red soul light net appeared out of thin air, enveloping nearly 30,000 elf souls.

At the same time, a soul voice came from the corner: "Rosen, of course you can kill me, but these elf souls will be buried with me!"

However, it was the Crimson Lady who saw that the situation was not right and showed up on her own initiative.

At this time, the soul fog in the magic ring cage was still very thick. Rosen could only hear the voice but not see the person.

"Interesting, threatening me with hostages?"

The solution came to my mind as soon as the thought came to me.

He can't see the other person, so the other person naturally can't see him either.

Taking advantage of this, Rosen's body quietly split into two.

One is the divine body, which maintains the highest degree of concealment and hides quietly in the void outside the cage.

The other one is a spirit body manifested by soul magic, which is extremely delicate and looks exactly the same as the void life.

The spirit was wrapped in an extremely strong soul shield. With a flash of its figure, it took the initiative to enter the magic ring cage.

After entering, the spirit raised its hand and waved, as if casting a spell.

"Buzz~"

A huge soul shield of astonishing size appeared out of thin air, standing between the remaining elven souls and Berudandi.

The spirit urged: "Keep going, hurry up, don't join in this ghost fun!"

Afterwards, the spirit pushed forward with both hands, pushing the huge soul shield slowly forward, constantly compressing the crimson girl's dodging space.

Soon, he saw the crimson lady on the other side of the giant shield.

Within the retracted eleven Dharma Rings, her appearance was almost indistinguishable from her mortal incarnation.

She has a tall figure, wearing a dark red, legendary 19-strength spiritual armor, holding a legendary 19-strength spiritual one-handed sword in one hand, and a legendary 19-strength spiritual oval giant shield in the other hand. She looks like an armored Valkyrie.

The spirit Rosen smiled faintly: "Ms. Belldandy, I am the emperor of the Natural Empire, but you are threatening me with the spirit soul. Isn't it a bit ridiculous?"

Belldandy smiled coldly.

"I know your ambition. You want to unify the entire plane!"

"These elf souls are your future people. There are so many elves watching here, you must take their lives into consideration."

Rosen looked at the struggling and wailing elf soul in the crimson light net, then looked at Berudandi who was threatening him with a sword, and grinned: "I advise you to give up resistance, otherwise, I will grind you into powder!"

As he spoke, he pushed the giant soul shield, which had a size of more than 20,000 Rosens and was focused to the extreme level 19, and continued to crush towards Beludandi.

Belldandy shouted, "Stop! Otherwise I will really do it!"

Rosen was not intimidated at all. He just kept pushing the giant soul shield and uttering harsh condemnations.

"Beldandi, if you dare to commit an evil act today, I will not only kill you, but also kill Druitan and all the members of the God of War, to avenge the innocent people who died under your sword!"

Belldandy was not stupid. He immediately understood Rosen's intention and realized that his threats were completely ineffective against the other party.

At this time, Rosen had pushed the giant soul shield to less than 30 meters in front of Berudandi, blocking all the opponent's space to dodge.

At this point, he paused in his pressure.

"Void Demon Belldandi, I advise you for the last time to release all the hostages in your hands and surrender! "Otherwise, I will not only kill you, but also make you experience all the tortures in the world before you die!"

"I will make you regret coming into this world. I will make you beg for a quick death, but I will never fulfill your wish!"

"Attention, this is an ultimatum!"

Belldandi listened quietly, and the arm holding the spiritual sword trembled slightly involuntarily.

As long as she raised her sword and chopped at the elf souls in the net, at least most of the elf souls could be shattered.

But although it would be satisfying to do so, the natural emperor on the other side would certainly hang his soul on the rack and use all the tortures in the world in front of all the elves.

For a moment of pleasure, one has to endure hundreds or thousands of years of pain.

Not only does it not damage the other party's reputation at all, but you also become a tool for the other party to warn potential enemies.

So, the hostage strategy completely failed.

After a few seconds of silence, she felt determined to die.

"You have defeated me, Your Majesty Rosen, so let these elf souls die with me!"

As she said this, her body began to glow, and she was actually planning to explode her soul.

But at this moment, the Crimson Lady suddenly felt a huge force coming from behind her.

Hit by this force, his whole body was almost shattered. Not only was his self-destruction action forcibly interrupted, but the spiritual sword and giant shield in his hands were directly shaken into powder.

Before she could react, soul chains wrapped around her body like snakes, firmly fixing her body.

Not to mention self-destruction, even moving is difficult.

"What happened? Who attacked me?!"

Belldandy's brain was hit so hard that he was a little confused and didn't understand the current situation for a moment.

The next moment, Rosen's real body appeared from behind Belldandy, and at the same time, his spirit turned into a spot of light and disappeared into the air.

He looked at the bound female warrior god with a smile: "Lady Crimson, you can die alone, don't drag innocent people into it."

"Illusion. You. You. You."

Belldandy felt so frustrated that he didn't know what to say.

Rosen ignored the frustrated female war god, turned around and untied the crimson light net, releasing the trapped elven soul, and at the same time made a loud announcement to the elven souls present.

"This Void Demon is right. I am Rosen, the Emperor of the Natural Empire."

"I do intend to unify this plane."

"In my eyes, all mortals are my people."

"I have a sacred duty to protect each and every one of you, and I will never give up on any of your lives easily!"

"Now, I will execute this ruthless and cold-blooded void demon in front of all of you to fulfill my duty of protection!"

This news spread throughout the magic ring cage, and there were at least 200,000 elven souls in the cage.

Outside the cage, there were countless elves and elf souls watching.

Every elf looked at Rosen's every move with an expression of incredible shock.

Of course they knew about the existence of the Natural Empire, but they could never have imagined that an emperor of a mortal empire would appear in Atlasen and possess such terrifying power!

This is exactly the effect Rosen wants.

His hand shook, and a Soul Oath Sword focused to the extreme of Legend 19 was condensed.

With a flick of the sword tip, Belldandy's spiritual helmet was lifted up, revealing a beautiful face with snow-white skin and soft features.

Just looking at her face, it's hard to associate her with the goddess of war.

"Ahaha~~This is such a beautiful head!"

Rosen laughed loudly, pointed the tip of the Soul Oath Sword at Belldandy's forehead, and finally asked: "So, Lady Crimson, do you have any last words?"

Belldandi's face showed determination, and he stared at Rosen without blinking.

"Rosen, I haven't completely failed."

"You won't be so proud for long. Soon, the great tree of life will be destroyed in flames, and your city and your people will wail in the flames!"

Almost at the same time, Rosen also felt the strong fluctuation of magic power coming from the southern sky.

There was no soul fog to block his vision in the sky, so Rosen could see very clearly.

The distance is about 800 kilometers, which is exactly the perception limit of Rosen's void vision.

A large number of flying creatures flew towards the giant tree of life from high altitude at extremely high speeds.

The number is estimated to be 2,000, and their speed is up to 2 times the speed of sound. The soul strength of a single one is above Legendary 15, and the scale of their mana is also extremely large, almost three times that of the previous Dragon of Truth, and is similar to the scale of power of a powerful god.

Judging from the opponent’s speed, they will reach the big tree of life in 20 minutes.

Rosen suddenly realized: "Oh~ So you have such a hidden card."

This trump card is really powerful. If he hadn't forged a divine body, he would have turned around and run away by now.

But even if you have a divine body, you can't take it lightly.

After all, the divine body could only help him escape into the void and play hide-and-seek with the legion, but it did not give him the power to block the legion head-on.

Naturally, this Belldandy cannot be simply executed.

We need to interrogate her thoroughly and find out all her plans.

But words once spoken cannot be taken back, and he couldn't go back on his word in front of so many elves.

After a little thought, he came up with a solution.

First shout: "Then die, devil!"

Immediately afterwards, the Soul Oath Sword in his hand suddenly released an extremely dazzling golden light, and ripples of terrifying power spread out.

The surrounding elves could not bear the violent commotion and retreated one after another, unable to see the specific situation ahead at all.

"Boom~~"

The location where Belldandy was suddenly exploded into a ball of astonishing flames.

The flame lasted for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating.

When the elves opened their eyes again, they saw that only the Emperor of the Nature Empire holding a sword was left in front of them, while Belldandi had disappeared without a trace.

It was obvious that this new and powerful Void God was killed by the Natural Emperor, and even his corpse was completely destroyed.

Rosen turned and looked at the elves who were watching.

"Elves, the mortal apostles of the devil have come to avenge their master."

"These apostles are so powerful that their flames could very well destroy the great tree of life."

"So, the living elves hid underground, and the elf souls hid at the roots of the great tree of life."

"And I will personally fight these demon minions!"

As he spoke, Rosen activated the Heart of the Sun, and power suddenly surged out, propelling his body into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

After rushing out of the tree canopy, its speed increased sharply again, breaking the sound barrier and making a "booming" sound of thunder.

Seeing Rosen rushing south quickly, the powerful elves on the Great Tree of Life looked at each other in confusion.

Someone shouted, "The Great Tree of Life belongs to us elves, and we elves should protect it!"

These words immediately resonated greatly.

“That’s right!”

"The vibration of the magic ring tells me that the enemy comes from the south and is very powerful."

"Then we'll go to the south to stop them!"

"Clatter, clatter, clatter."

Fifty legendary flying dragons with a wingspan of over thirty meters quickly took off from the Great Tree of Life.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of powerful elves of various kinds also flew up.

These powerful elves tried their best to follow the flying dragon and flew towards the southern sky together.
