The shadow army arrived quickly. The players had only just accepted the quest when the shadow creatures were summoned. Many of them did not even have time to retrieve their equipment …
"How is it so fast?"
Eve, who had transformed into Zero, was surprised.
She casually crushed a shadow creature in front of her and looked at the four grey energy pillars in the distance, frowning slightly.
After some thought, she avoided the crowd and arrived at the Death God's Shrine in Black Rock City.
Black Rock City had been mobilized, and the clerics in the Death God's Shrine were also busy. Some were treating the injured, some were passing on messages, and some were trying to activate defensive divine spells …
When she arrived, Eve saw the Dwarf Shrine Master who had returned from capturing the leader of the dark believers.
This fanatic who had once been possessed by the Death God Hella had an ugly expression on her face.
"It's my fault. I was careless. I didn't think that the God of Darkness and Shadows' chosen one would burn her own faith as a signal to command the believers outside the city. As a result, I accidentally exposed the Shrine's real situation …"
Eve was speechless.
She glanced at the Dwarf and noticed that the Death God's divine aura had not completely dissipated. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.
It was likely that this Shrine Master did not accidentally expose it. It was very likely that the Death God Hella had deliberately hinted before returning …
Of course, this poor Shrine Master probably did not notice that she had been hinted by a true god.
She did not even know that the mysterious God's chosen one she was facing was actually the true god himself!
As for the reason Hella had hinted, Eve could more or less guess it.
Since Eve had a true god's clone here, no matter how the dark believers jumped up and down, Eve would definitely not sit idly by when they summoned the shadow army.
This was decided by the oath of the two true gods.
How could a true god's clone not be able to resist a group of mere iron-ranked shadow creatures summoned by a group of believers?
Things like 'your kin isn't afraid of death' and 'let your kin take action' were all excuses.
Hella must have seen Eve's clone and sensed that it had the power of a demigod. That was why she made such a decision.
In other words, Hella didn't need to consider anything else as long as Eve's avatar was here.
All he had to do was to hint to his believers and lure out the opponent's trump card before forcing Eve onto the stage, lest any unforeseen circumstances arise …
Of course, it was also possible that Hella knew that Eve had been using her name to cause trouble recently and expressed her dissatisfaction …
"I didn't expect that after signing the True God Oath, you would still try to trick me before leaving."
Eve sighed as she sensed the hordes of shadowy monsters outside Black Rock City.
The shadowy monsters had already numbered in the thousands. Even if all of Zero Wing's players joined the fray, they wouldn't be able to deal with so many shadowy monsters.
Therefore … an even more powerful existence had to make a move!
Eve understood.
Hella wanted her to deal with the shadow army herself …
And if he really did make a move, he would have completely fallen out with the God of Darkness and Shadows. But relatively speaking, he would be tied to the same war chariot as the Death God Hella …
There were pros and cons.
Overall, the pros outweighed the cons. At least the Underworld had Hella's forces blocking the door, and the Dark Believers wouldn't be able to cause trouble for the Elves on the surface.
However, after killing another shadowy monster, Eve dispelled the idea of personally joining the battle.
To be more precise … she dispelled the idea of directly using the power of a demigod to end the battle quickly.
After killing the shadowy monster, a gray translucent shard appeared in her hand. It was left behind after the shadowy monster's death.
This shard was known as the Shadow Gem Shard. It contained chaotic and cold energy and was the source of the shadowy monsters' power, similar to the magic core of a magical beast.
With a thought, Eve absorbed the shard. After being filtered by the power of faith, it turned into pure energy that flowed into her body.
Eve's eyes lit up as she sensed the energy entering her body.
"I can use my [Absorb] ability to devour the energy in these shards. I can also devour the life force of the shadowy monsters!"
"If I can devour the entire shadowy army, perhaps my divine power will increase by a lot!"
"But … if I directly use the power of a demigod, it will consume too much of my divine power. It's not worth it."
"If I want to maximize the results of the battle, it's best not to destroy the shadowy army in one go. Instead, I should fight a war of attrition with them. It's best to let the players fight. I can give them some enhancements …"
"Let the enhanced players keep the shadowy monsters alive and let them continue to be summoned. Then, they will endlessly die to provide me with power!"
With this thought, Eve made a decision.
She turned to the Shrine Master of the Death God and smiled.
"Don't worry, leave it to us! However, I need to set up a teleportation circle here. "
"Teleportation circle?"
The Dwarf Shrine Master was stunned.
"That's right. Teleport our warriors."
Eve said with a smile.
The Shrine Master hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Although she did not know what happened when she was possessed by the True God, she knew that Her Highness Hella had signed an oath with the mysterious being behind the Elves. They had become allies in the fight against the God of Darkness and Shadows.
Before she returned, the True God had also instructed her to listen to the arrangements of a God's Chosen by the name of Zero for the defense of Black Rock City.
Until the enemy was completely defeated!
The Shrine Master was hesitant at first. However, when she found out that the God's Chosen by the name of Zero was an Advanced Professional, she became respectful.
In the entire Deep Chasm Cave, the strongest Dark Dwarves were only at the Upper Silver rank.
With the Dark Dwarves' permission, Eve immediately set up a teleportation circle in front of the Death God's Shrine in Black Rock City to connect Rivendell to Black Rock City!
After setting up the teleportation circle, Eve immediately sent a new system message to the players.
[Ding.]
[The teleportation circle connecting Black Rock City and Rivendell has been set up. Players can use the teleportation circle to teleport to Black Rock City.]
[The Battle of Black Rock City has officially begun!]
After that, Eve once again used her Divine Power.
In an instant, all the players on the wall suddenly felt their bodies brimming with power. Their various attributes in their personal columns had greatly increased, especially in the area of defense. A layer of faintly discernible Magic Shield had appeared on everyone's body!
At the same time, another message appeared in the vision of all the players gathered in Black Rock City …
[Ding.]
[Unyielding and unyielding, brave and fearless! The Goddess has decided to grant battle blessings to all players who participate in the defense of Black Rock City!]
[You have received a buff: The Goddess' Blessing]
[Your weapon has received a buff: The Goddess' Blessing]
[Effect: All players in Black Rock City will receive a Magic Shield. Their various attributes will be doubled. All skill damage will have a 'Purify' effect]
[Brave Chosen One, for the glory of the Goddess and the Elves, charge!]
Under the surprised gaze of the Dwarf Shrine Master, the Elves on the city walls suddenly cheered. They shouted "Long live the Goddess" as they fought against the shadowy monsters that had climbed up the city walls.
At the same time, the teleportation circle began to shine.
Soon, fully armed Elves rushed out one by one …
They did not care about anything. Instead, they waved their weapons and jumped excitedly as they charged towards the city walls.
The Dark Dwarves were speechless.
Looking at the Elves who did not care about their image and excitedly charged towards the city walls, the Dark Dwarves were stunned.
These … were the players who happened to be in Rivendell and received the system message.
There were also some players who were planning to ambush the Shadow Army from outside the Dark Forest. When they saw the sea of shadowy monsters, they gave up on suicide and turned to rush towards Rivendell. They planned to directly teleport to Black Rock City to participate in the defense of the city.
After setting up the teleportation circle, Eve entered the temple with the Death Shrine Master.
"Where is the central defense of the temple?"
She asked.
The Dwarf Shrine Master hesitated for a moment and said, "In the rear.
However, the power stored in the statue has been used up. I'm afraid it can't be activated … "
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw that Eve had already walked towards the rear of the temple.
The Dwarf Shrine Master hurriedly followed behind her.
Eve arrived in front of the central defense of Black Rock City that was connected to the rear of the temple.
This was a cube core that was similar to a hexahedron. There were mysterious patterns drawn on it.
In the Underworld, similar defense cores were very common. Almost every Dungeon would have one. This type of defense core had another name — Dungeon Core.
Under the shocked gaze of the Dwarf Shrine Master, Eve suddenly extended her hand and inserted it into the core of the defense core …
