Chapter 343: Resolve the Mess
Chapter 343: Resolve the Mess
A moment later, a giant white lotus stopped ten kilometers from where the previous Tree of Life was. The fairies looked down in surprise and confusion. They couldn\'t find the Tree of Life anywhere.
Meanwhile, a graceful fairy with a magnificent crown stared at the ruined ground with a frown. The graceful fairy was the Fairy Empress with the highest authority of the other four fairies of the same rank.
Nevertheless, the fairies simply waited for the other two races to approach. The Floating Fortress and Heavenly Valhalla also stopped within safe distance without taking long. The three races faced each other as if ready to launch an attack at any moment.
"What are you doing in the Fairy Continent with your large scale army and ultimate weaponry? Since when did the Elven Race and the Dwarven Race cooperate? You want to hold a large scale war against us? Do you want to speed up the inter-racial warfare?" The highest level Fairy Empress above the Celestial Lotus questioned with a firm expression.
"Oh dear, have you forgotten our declaration three months ago, Fairy Empress Yralissa Quifiel? Now, what is strange is these dwarves. Do you want to interfere in this matter, Dwarven Emperor Nuraddir Waraxe? Oh wow, you came with the other three Dwarven Emperors too." One of the Elven Empress with the highest level represented her race to speak.
"We are only here for the Tree of Life, Elven Empress Ashera Nirvalen. The Elven Race and Fairy Race can fight as you wish, but please don\'t be here because you can endanger the fallen Tree of Life." The strongest Dwarven Emperor stated that sarcastically. He didn\'t care about anything other than divine treasures.
"Huh!? That\'s what you said by coming to our continent, the fairies with all the Dwarven Emperors and your race\'s ultimate weapon, Floating Fortress. The Goddess of Life is Fairy Race\'s Patron Goddess, and the Tree of Life belongs to Fairy Race!" Yralissa snapped with rage.
"The Goddess of Life is also the Elven Race\'s Goddess. And again, since when did the Tree of Life belong to Fairy Race?" Ashera retorted with a grin.
"It\'s been like that since time immemorial. We fairies need to keep the Goddess of Life\'s legacy in Fairy Continent! All of you are outsider races. Leave the Fairy Continent right now!" Yralissa retaliated with the fact that they were in fairies territory.
"Even if you are correct, that does not mean you are right. The Tree of Life does not belong to anyone other than her divine self. Besides, the Goddess of Life\'s legacy does not belong to a particular race. Anyone worthy can have it." Nuraddir leaned back on his giant ax and folded his arms arrogantly.
When the three supreme leaders of the three races clashed in words, some of the people below just watched it with bewilderment expressions. These three races came with their armies and ultimate weapons because of the tree of life and the Goddess of Life\'s legacy?
"These three races came for Rhea\'s legacy?" Elysia muttered softly, but everyone inside the bubble-like barrier could hear it.
\'I think so, Elysia girl. My daughter was my successor as Goddess of the Elven Race and Fairy Race for hundreds of thousands of years before that deadly battle.\' Lifa clarified that without any hesitation.
\'Successor, huh? If so, are you an Ancient Goddess who might be stronger than the strongest God Zadtris?\' Elysia represented Elena\'s question. She and Elena had suspicions about that since yesterday.
\'Who knows, I\'m just an old tree. However, I already existed in this world even before the Gods and Goddesses had not been born.\' Lifa didn\'t want to admit that claim. She only gave an implied answer.
\'We shall assume you as the strongest and oldest Goddess, Madam Lifa.\' Elysia came to a conclusion, and Lifa did not deny it afterward. Proving that assumption was more likely to be true.
\'What are we to do with these three races that are likely to battle with those lethal weapons, Madam Lifa?\' Elysia became worried just looking at those three Heaven Grade ultimate weapons.
\'Let\'s see the results of their conversation. If they do go to war with those lethal weapons, please stop them with your best solution, Elysia girl.\' Lifa felt somewhat disappointed with the attitude of the elves and fairies. She knew they only wanted a part of the Tree of Life for something, nothing more.
\'So irresponsible. You are the real Goddess for the Elven Race and Fairy Race, not me...\' Elysia muttered helplessly. She slowly began to feel that she had been used to solve other people\'s problems.
"Elven, Fairy, and Dwarven Race will go to war with their ultimate weapons! Elysia, we need to do something. Elven\'s Heavenly Valhalla, Fairy\'s Celestial Lotus, and Dwarven\'s Floating Fortress are Heaven Grade deadly weapons." Nell panicked and worried.
If the deadly clashes broke out, she doubted she could mediate the three races. So, only Elysia and Elena were able to reconcile the tensions.
"Sigh... Let\'s wait a little longer, Nell. Madam Lifa has a slightly different opinion. Please talk to her about this matter." Elysia heaved a sigh and scratched her head a little. She was tired enough to get involved with the Human Race and the Devil Race, but now there were three others joined in.
Hearing that, Nell immediately chirped and argued with Lifa. She didn\'t know what Lifa was thinking, but it was too risky if no one acted quickly to mediate between these three races.
On the other hand, the debate between races in the sky finally reached its pre-war climax.
The Fairy Empress concluded that it was an act of aggression and plunder. The Elven Empress concluded it was a war that had been agreed upon to determine the possession of the Tree of Life. Lastly, the Dwarven Emperor joined the fray because of the Tree of Life.
"The once immortal Tree of Life has now fallen. The Goddess of Life\'s palace has collapsed. The Elven Race was blessed by the Tree of Life\'s seed by the Goddess of Life a long time ago, and now you want to bite more? Whereas the Dwarven Race just wants to loot. This is funny." Yralissa sighed. She had decided war was the final solution.
"Loot? That\'s an ugly word to say. We prefer to call it handing out divine treasures to the craftsmasters. Hmm, is the divine barrier still there? I can only see the crushed ground down there. Where is the Tree of Life anyway?" Nuraddir gave a sign to his subordinates, then an item was thrown far right where the divine barrier was supposed to be.
*Kaboom*
A burst of white smoke occurred, and it literally hit the ground without any illusions or obstructions.
That fact shocked the three parties who faced each other. However, the elves and dwarves paid their full attention to the fairies right away with suspicions.
"Fairy Empress Yralissa Quifiel, I never expected that you had secured the Tree of Life. How greedy you are." Ashera smiled wryly and felt like she had lost the start.
"For this time, I have the same opinion. However, we came only for divine treasures. Fairy Empress Yralissa Quifiel, we dwarves, propose to hold an exchange in peace. We do not wish to get involved in the dispute between you and the Elven Race." Nuraddir Waraxe smiled warmly, but there was a different intention in his heart.
"Nonsense! Now I suspect that you stole the Tree of Life right after the earthquake. Tell me where you hid it, or you have to leave your lives in the land of Fairy Continent forever! Prepare for Eclipse Burst!" Yralissa shouted out loud with rage.
At the same time, the fairies immediately got ready for war. They also prepared their Celestial Lotus for high-level magic attacks.
"Ridiculous! Is this your way to master all those divine treasures along with the Goddess of Life\'s legacy!? If that\'s what you want, see what you can do in front of Elven\'s Heavenly Valhalla. Prepare for Lunar Judgement!" After saying that, Ashera spread her arms wide and the other high elves immediately prepared for the combined high tier magic.
"Threats won\'t make the dwarves budge. This is a great opportunity to test the combat power of Dwarven\'s Floating Fortress. Prepare for Supernova Blaster!" Nuraddir grinned at the opportunity. He wanted to know which ultimate weapon would withstand these mortal\'s highest tier magic attacks.
Dozens of red giant lotus runes emerged around the Celestial Lotus and thousands of fairies. The sunlight suddenly darkened as if an eclipse had arrived only due to the intensity of the magic energy for the combined lethal attack of thousands of high-level fairies.
The Floating Fortress split open for a mighty gigantic cannon. Magic energy gathered immediately from the thousands of dwarves for an ultimate attack.
Meanwhile, the floating sacred hall, Heavenly Valhalla, also formed dozens of runes like a massive red globe-circling thousands of elves.
As soon as the high-level combined destruction magic at the top of the mortal realm was ready to launch, Lifa muttered with a sigh. \'Elysia girl, it\'s up to you after this. I can\'t do anything other than making a request to you. Please stop their nonsense and stupidity. They are too ignorant to know the precariousness of the world.\'
"Elysia, Elena, anyone! Please stop them!" Nell urged Elysia with crunch. She also shook Elysia\'s hand in panic.
\'Master, my divine master. We may be affected by the destruction of these three high-tier magic. Isn\'t there still a small village nearby? They may perish.\' Vanessa nudged her master\'s feet with her little paws out of concern.
"All right, please wait here. My master and I shall resolve this mess." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh when she heard the final conclusion of the three races supreme leaders.
