In the World Tree's divine kingdom.
Eve, who had returned from Black Rock City, sat on her divine throne. She recalled the conversation and agreement she had with Hella and was deep in thought.
"I've long expected that with the increase in magic power, the peace in the Segers world would be broken, but I didn't expect the underground world to be the first to start a war …"
That's right, the underground world had started a war.
This time, Hella had used God's Descent to find her. It was not for anything else but the third clause of the treaty when the two true gods had signed the True God Oath.
"Eve must assist Hella's believers in fighting against the God of Darkness and Shadows, Holdell's forces in the Segers world …"
Speaking of which … this matter was actually related to Eve.
In the chaotic underground world, the various forces were intricate. Although war, conquest, decline, and collapse formed a similar cycle of the various civilizations in the Underdark, a delicate balance had been maintained for thousands of years.
However, since last year, the magic power of the entire Segers world had suddenly started to increase, and the underground world was naturally affected accordingly.
The recovery of magic power had caused the magical beasts and monsters in the Underdark to increase in strength, and the strength of the various races had also changed significantly. The races that originally had higher potential but were limited by the low magic power had a new batch of powerhouses …
The change in strength brought about a change in mentality and an increase in desire. Ambition began to expand among the various countries, and naturally … the war began.
Of course, war was the norm in the Underdark. It was just that with the increase in magic power, everyone's strength had vaguely become stronger. The intensity of the war and the destructive power to the underground world had naturally increased as well.
However … if it was just a competition between the various underground civilizations, everything would be different when the power of a true god was involved.
The first to react was the God of Darkness and Shadows, Holdell. This ancient existence was also a true god of the underworld. He was the most powerful true god in the underground world.
After the magic power of the Segers world had increased, the forces that worshipped him in the underground world had begun to stir. The war with the various dark dwarves and underground gnomes under Hella's protection was unavoidable.
Currently, some of the Underground Cities had already started fighting, and there were many casualties …
It was clear that Hodl intended to expel Hella's forces from the Segers Plane.
The only good thing was that the True Gods of both sides hadn't officially shed all pretense of cordiality and started a war of faith, so they sent down their own Oracles.
Of course, if it really came to that, it would mean that the relationship between the True Gods of the Netherworld would be completely broken, and a war between the True Gods would be unavoidable. Moreover, considering the location of the Divine Kingdoms of the two True Gods, the final result would most likely be the death of a True God. In fact, if it was even more serious, it would not be impossible for the Netherworld to be destroyed.
Therefore, although the believers were really angry, and the warring city-states were even more furious, the atmosphere in the Netherworld was rather subtle.
In the end, it was because Hella and Holdell were not ready to completely fall out with each other.
Furthermore, they were not true gods with pure faith. Believers were just icing on the cake for them. Although the battle in the Segers Plane was highly valued by them, it was not enough for them to gamble everything and start a true divine war.
However, this was also the crux of the problem.
Death God Hella's arrangement in the Underworld was far behind that of the God of Darkness and Shadows Holdell.
If they really fell out with each other and started a divine war, Death God Hella who had an army of Heroic Spirits might be able to defeat Holdell. However, if she relied entirely on the Underworld forces to fight, it was obvious that … Hella was no match for Holdell.
The most important reason was that Hella's Underworld forces had too little population, and their mid-to-low-end strength was too weak.
At this time, Hella naturally thought of Eve's Chosen Ones army.
After the battle in Black Rock City and the battle between the Orcs and the Players that was gradually spreading in the Underworld, Death God Hella naturally noticed the combat strength of the Players.
Although the overall strength of this group of otherworldly visitors was weak, they were not afraid of death. Their combat strength was valiant against those of the same level. More importantly, they were very united, mobilized freely, and could be used repeatedly …
For a war in the mortal world, such existences were simply natural cannon fodder …
Uh, no, they were born to be an army.
Therefore, Hella planned to borrow troops from Eve.
It should be mentioned that in the Universe of Segers, there was a huge difference in strength between normal creatures and Extraordinary creatures. There was also a huge difference in strength between Extraordinary creatures of different levels.
The weakest Level-1 Wizard Apprentice could only create a small fireball the size of a finger. However, a Level-100 Sorcerer at the peak of the Gold upper level could create a Meteor Fall that could cause fatal damage to an undefended small city …
Not to mention those who had broken through the mortal world and advanced above the Legendary level. Those existences could cast a Forbidden Spell of the Kilometer level with a wave of their hand. Demigods could easily destroy a forest or a mountain range …
As for True Gods …
They fought without regard for the consequences and could completely destroy a dimension.
However, although there was a huge difference in strength between Extraordinary creatures, when two forces with similar high-end strength fought, an army made up of low-end professionals and even ordinary people was still important.
This was because while the strong were powerful, they were also destined to be few in number. The Universe of Segers was overflowing with divine artifacts. Some weak existences might be able to defeat stronger opponents with the help of some powerful divine artifacts.
Therefore, when faced with an army made up of weaklings from a force with a deep foundation, every Extraordinary creature could be defeated if they were not careful.
Not to mention, if both forces had True Gods behind them, then they had to be even more cautious.
Generally speaking, wars between large forces in the Universe of Segers had formed a faint consensus. That was, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. The army would naturally be dealt with by the army, and the Extraordinary creatures would deal with the Extraordinary creatures.
Of course, if one side did not have any Extraordinary creatures, then naturally, there was no need to fight and just surrender.
As for which side only had Extraordinary creatures and did not have low-end or mid-end forces …
Well, in that case, it was almost impossible to fight.
That was because there were no forces that only had Extraordinary creatures in the Universe of Segers. Even if there were, their needs were already different from ordinary forces, and it was almost impossible for both sides to clash.
In short … the God of Death Hella and the God of Darkness and Shadows, Holder, had begun their underground battle. They both hoped to uproot each other's forces in the Underdark.
And to obtain the final victory and reduce the casualties of her few believers, Hella naturally set her sights on Eve's army of Chosen Ones.
In response, Eve naturally agreed.
On the one hand, it was because both sides had a True God's oath. On the other hand, it was also because both the players and her could benefit from the war sacrifice.
Of course, there was also another point — Hella also mentioned that Holder, the God of Darkness and Shadows, was close to some Evil Gods, and there might be Evil Gods in his forces.
And for that, Eve was naturally very interested.
"Alright, it's time to design a new large-scale mission for the Players. Perhaps it could even be a dungeon. I hope they like it, and I hope it can surprise me."
Sitting high on her divine throne, Eve already had a clear plan for the next step.
