Chapter 669: Alashor\'s Influence
\'This sacred ground\'s security system is still active, and I feel the situation here is getting more awkward.\' Dave muttered after they entered the sacred palace. He looked left and right with his magic eyes, but he couldn\'t find a single party from the Council.
\'They are all in the underground hall. Looks like they\'re up to something.\' Elysia peered down with her sacred vision. She could see many presences some distance down there, but an unknown force obscured her vision to see further.
\'How did you know about that? Are you sure they are all in the underground hall? What are they doing there? The Ruvoid God is currently hiding there and brainwashing the higher-ups of the Council?\' Xero threw a barrage of questions. He seemed to want to fly down there as soon as possible to hunt down the Ruvoid God.
\'I know because I can see it. But, my view is being obscured by this palace security system, perhaps? Let\'s check there with a little decoy?\' Elysia suggested.
\'I don\'t recommend it to be done in this sacred palace. The Sage God will know will notice our presence very quickly.\' Dave shook his head.
\'Then, shall we just sneak into the underground hall? Without any disguise or camouflage?\' Elysia scratched her head.
\'We need to refrain from using magic or spirit power here. This place is the Sage God\'s domain. He is the highest-ranking member of the Council, and he can detect us easily if we come near. If we are careful, maybe we can leave here after gathering information without anyone knowing.\' Dave voiced his suggestion with a persuasive sentence.
\'That sounds too easy for this spy mission. I was expecting trouble, and I knew it would happen.\' Sylvia folded her arms. She had a strong feeling about it, and it was inevitable.
\'Stop talking, and let\'s act. This place is like a maze of confusion. Pigeon, show me the way to the underground hall.\' Xero pushed Dave to move.
\'Hey, I\'m Dave, the dove. Follow me. This isn\'t my first time in this place.\' Dave immediately flew up and showed the way to the underground hall.
\'...\' Rhea didn\'t say anything, but she grabbed Elysia\'s arm to express her opinion via a private telepathy channel. \'Master Elysia, this place has such an odd aura. I\'m not sure, but the Ruvoid God may have been here before.\'
\'Then, I was expecting something to happen down there.\' Elysia slowed her pace and walked to the back row. Elena went beside her.
However, a rapid dimensional shift occurred. A cosmic fog appeared out of nowhere and instantly engulfed Elysia\'s group.
"!?" Elena immediately erected a dome barrier to ensure everyone\'s safety.
As the cosmic fog faded, the scenery already changed. They were previously in a corridor of stairs leading down, but they were now in a majestic hall in the sky.
Xero, Sylvia, and Dave had already set up their battle stance as they expected a clash, but nothing happened.
\'What is that? A trap?\' Sylvia asked in wonder.
\'It\'s teleportation. Someone teleported us to the sacred hall. We are now above the Sacred City.\' Dave narrowed his eyes as he looked around. He seemed to know who teleported them here.
\'The floating hall above the floating island? Hmm?\' Xero narrowed his eyes towards the balcony. Even though the door was closed, he knew that some presence was there.
"Hou, our distinguished guests arrived at the exact time you expected, Odavius." A surprised young man\'s voice sounded from behind the door.
"Hum." An old man\'s voice responded.
Elysia and everyone in her group, except for Dave, felt a bit surprised because the words just now were said in Vrelenia.
Xero flapped his wings to find out who was behind the door, but he crashed against the invisible barrier instead.
\'This isn\'t just a disguise barrier, you idiot.\' Elena covered her mouth and almost laughed when she saw the crow slumped to the floor.
\'Hm, that person is probably the Ruvoid God since his language explains everything. All of this may be a trap. Please don\'t act rashly.\' Rhea warned sternly.
She then waved her hand to gently push the door leading to the balcony.
The door opened without making any noise. A group of three could be seen relaxing on the balcony, enjoying their time at their tea party.
Elysia did a quick scan to check the status screens of the three people on the balcony. The two old men were Sage God and Wizard God. While the other one was a little boy, and this one was someone they were looking for.
"..." Elysia didn\'t know what to say now. The Ruvoid God was present before her eyes, but he wasn\'t the same as the one she remembered in her memory.
"It\'s him?" Elena also doubted her judgment. That little boy was Ruvoid God without curse energy. However, he was still Alashor, the Ruvoid God, the harbinger of doom and deadly curse.
"It\'s him!? Are you the Ruvoid God? Heh-hehe, have you lost all your curse powers? It will be easy for me to erase you once and for all." Xero widened his eyes in surprise. He glared at the old men briefly and grinned viciously at the little boy.
"Ho-hoho, what\'s with that offensive cry? Do you crave violence that much in this sacred ground? What an uncultured bird you are." Alashor shook his head and got down from his seat.
He then spread his arms wide with a big smile on his face. "Welcome to the Council\'s Sacred City, old friends from Vrelenia. I appreciate your efforts for coming so far to the seventh heaven to seek my whereabouts."
"We\'re not that familiar, Alashor. Have you been manipulating the Council from behind the scenes and plotting some heinous thing? Although we don\'t know why you lost your divine curse, don\'t ever think we\'ll let you go." Rhea pursed her lips.
"Hehe, it\'s just an old story. I was destroyed and reborn as a child of light. All my past goals and ambitions are meaningless now. This world is far more impressive than Vrelenia.
The Gods welcomed me and appreciated my knowledge. They even helped me form my new body and enlightened me on the true path of the divine being." Alashor clasped his hands together with a beaming expression.
"???" Rhea was confused. She just couldn\'t believe it.
"Why don\'t you come and have tea with us, guests from another world?" Odavius put down his teacup and glanced at the group of people in the hall.
Elysia glanced at Elena and Rhea. She didn\'t know what to do now.
"Let\'s find out more." Elena patted Elysia\'s back.
"It\'s all just gimmicks and other bullshit. Are you trying to trick us that you\'re no longer a threat?" Xero grumbled furiously.
"What happens if I tell the truth? Am I still a threat to you and your world?" Alashor was still calm and composed.
"I just want to erase you, whatever the reason. Revoke this barrier and let me burn that little boy into dust!" Xero shouted and kicked the barrier.
Elena only made a small hole for Xero to get out, but she didn\'t revoke her barrier. Xero immediately flew like a bullet toward the little boy with killing intent.
Unfortunately, a bubble suddenly wrapped around the angry crow.
*Bam*
Xero once again crashed against something invisible.
"Why with such hatred? The one you know as the Ruvoid God is no longer exists. He had been reborn into a completely different entity. The evil entity on the wrong path still has a chance to be guided to the right path. That way, the sinner will be aware of past mistakes and sincerely repent." Odavius put the bubble containing the angry crow on the floor.
"What do you mean by that, old man? And, why can you use our world\'s language?" Xero asked and tore the bubble to pieces. The bubble burst after several attacks.
"That\'s because we exchange knowledge. Come here, I will enlighten you all calmly, and I hope you no longer want to eliminate Alashor." Odavius beckoned to the others to come closer.
\'Master Elysia, Master Elena, beware of tricks, schemes, ruses, and traps. I don\'t know what happened, but I feel uncomfortable with this situation.\' Rhea voiced her concern through a private channel.
\'Understood.\' \'Hum.\' Elysia and Elena responded curtly.
"Why don\'t you come here too, Dave? You\'ve come all the way from the Divine Association, right?" Odavius also invited the dove.
"You are surprisingly civil, unlike your treatment of us in the past two weeks. If so, why with the sudden changes in the Council? Why are you able to use another world language so smoothly? What is going on beneath the sacred ground? Are you want to rewrite the world\'s law? Last but not least, why did you organize that God Game event?" Dave threw a barrage of questions suspiciously.
"Keh, the mortal world is so peaceful and serene. Meanwhile, the ability users are constantly evolving. Wouldn\'t it be a good thing to have a small event between them involving the Gods of the fourteen realms? I don\'t understand why you are against us." The Wizard God shook his head with a sigh.
"Is human life meaningless in your eyes, Agoris? The God Game is a deathmatch with hundreds or even thousands of participants. Still, only one group will be declared a winner!" Dave flew over in an annoyed tone.
"Humans are born and die. They determine what they will do, and it is their choice to embrace power." Agoris replied in a relaxed tone, as if he didn\'t really care.
"You\'ve all probably been brainwashed by the Ruvoid God, the God from another world. That\'s not the attitude of the higher-ups of the Council." Dave flew closer to Elysia and the others. He knew that he would be safe with them.
"And who are you to judge us? Even the God-King has no power over that. We are all-knowing, while you don\'t." Agoris squinted his eyes at Dave.
