Chapter 967

The elven homeland, the queen's palace.

Shien's group jumped down from You Lin's back and landed at the top of the palace.

Nadura, Artemis, Sophie, Reiya, and Niya immediately came to greet Shien's group.

"Caroline, what are you …?"

Sophie's astonishment was obvious as she gazed at Caroline's group, who were dressed rather skimpily and could even be said to be almost naked.

Caroline awkwardly knelt on one knee in front of Sophie.

"My apologies, Your Majesty." Caroline lowered her head and took the blame. "We ran into some trouble. Fortunately, the Hero's group saved us and saved our lives. I'm sorry for letting you down."

The elven girls behind Caroline also knelt on one knee and lowered their heads in shame.

Genom was naturally among them.

"We've completed the mission Her Majesty gave us. I hope we didn't fail."

Genom said with his head lowered.

Is there a time when this impulsive Elven girl is so humble?

Shien couldn't help but wonder.

On the other hand, not only did Sophie not blame them, she even smiled reassuringly.

"I'm already very happy that you're back," Sophie said sincerely. Sophie said sincerely, "I should be the one apologizing. It was clearly such a risky mission, but I could only let you do it. If something had happened to you, I would not have been able to blame myself."

Reiya and Niya also stood behind Sophie and spoke together.

"You've done very well, Caroline, Genom."

"This is also the result of Goddess Nadura's blessing, isn't it?"

The two elven leaders comforted their subordinates just like that.

On the other hand, after hearing their words, Naduai's face was full of shame.

"I didn't do anything. Or rather, I could only hand such a dangerous mission to useless people like Caroline. If we're talking about protection, it should be us, the supreme gods, who are protecting them."

Nadura said.

"That's not the case, Goddess Nadura."

"It's our honor to be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility."

"Please raise your head."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The young elven girls of the Elven Division hurriedly said so.

Evidently, they were a bit frightened. They didn't think that their greatest belief, the Goddess of Nature, who was like their mother, would lower her head in shame.

Only then did Artemis speak.

"Since you're back, everything is fine. You don't have to blame yourselves."

Artemis spoke a word of justice.

Sophie, Nadula, and the other elven girls all smiled and nodded in unison.

At this moment, Melica walked out.

"I … I'm back, Goddess Nadura, Your Majesty."

Merica somewhat uneasily saluted the two highest authorities of the elven race.

Sophie and Nadura immediately looked at Melica.

"So you chose to come back, Merica."

Sophie sighed.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the capital?"

"Didn't I tell you?

Nadura. Melica lowered her head and said, "I did not mean to disobey your instructions, but …"

Melica deeply lowered her head and said, "I didn't mean to disobey your orders, but …"

"But no matter what, Melica is still a member of the elven race. When the elven race is facing a crisis, you just left her alone and let her stay in a safe place. Do you think she can feel at ease like this?"

The one who said this was Shien.

Shien coldly spoke Melica's mind, causing her to fall silent. Everyone else was speechless.

Nadura looked at Melica, and after a while, she reached out and touched Melica's head.

"I'm sorry for making you worry, Melica."

Nadura looked as if she was confiding in her own daughter, her expression amiable.

"No … It's nothing!"

Melica was immediately overwhelmed by the favor and shook her head vigorously.

Sophie also agreed with the current development.

"Since you're back, stay in the elven homeland and don't run around anymore, got it?"

Sophie advised Melica.

This was not an order, but pure worry.

In the eyes of the elves, Melica's status was already different from before. Not only was she the Goddess of Nature Nadura's blessing, but she was also the companion of the Hero.

If anything happened to the elves, with Melica around, the elves would not be wiped out, and there would still be hope.

Therefore, both Sophie and Nadura viewed Melica as extremely important and attached great importance to her safety.

To some extent, Melica had already become a spark that the entire elven race wanted to protect. Even if something happened to the Elf Queen, nothing could happen to Melica.

This was the consensus of everyone, but Melica did not know it yet.

Melica could only nod and accept Sophie's instructions.

Sophie and Nadura chatted with the group of elven girls for a while, understanding the basic situation, before turning to look at Shien.

Shien stood next to La Xia, who was holding Lilith's hand, with his arms crossed.

When everyone looked at Shien, they inevitably saw La Xia and Lilith.

When everyone saw La Xia and Lilith, their reactions were different.

When they saw La Xia, no matter who it was, they all showed some subtle expressions.

But when she saw Lilith, Artemis, the Goddess of Justice, who had been staring at Sean, walked forward with a sullen face, not to mention the rest.

Seeing this, Shien raised his eyebrows.

"Artemis."

Nadura seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly wanted to stop Artemis.

Artemis, however, stretched out her hand and stopped Nadia.

"Don't worry, Goddess Nadura." Artemis said faintly, "I just want to say hello to my 'sister' who is rumored to be born with me, to stand opposite to me, and to appear at the same time but with completely different natures. I won't do anything at this juncture."

With that, Artemis stared at Lilith.

“？”

Lilith seemed to have just reacted. She tilted her head with a question mark above her head.

This little girl naturally couldn't know the origin of the silver Valkyrie in front of her.

But Lilith could still feel a sense of familiarity from the other party, but they were incompatible like fire and water.

That was something that couldn't be helped.

Artemis was the Goddess of Justice and Order.

Lilith was the Goddess of Evil and Chaos.

Both of them transcended at birth. Although they were superior gods, their strength was far beyond the existence of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Nature, which were the three major goddesses. They were enough to be ranked in the top three of the Protoss, right behind the Goddess of Fate, Lidas.

The two were also born at the same time, transcended at the same time, appeared at the same time, and descended into this world at the same time.

But as Artemis said, although the two had a deep relationship, they were in an irreconcilable relationship.

Justice against evil.

Order against chaos.

White against black.

The strong against the strong.

That was the relationship between the two.

And …

"This is our first official meeting, isn't it, Goddess Lilith?"

Artemis said to Lilith.

"I know that you were born at the same time as me, but after you were born, you immediately lost control and set off turmoil in the world, turning the earth into purgatory and turning countless creatures into evil beings. At that time, I couldn't stop you immediately."

At that time, Artemis had just gained consciousness and was very ignorant of everything.

As a result, Lilith, who was born at the same time as her, lost control and disappeared in front of her when she was ignorant.

Artemis had never seen Lilith before. She had only seen Lilith's back, which was wrapped in endless evil energy, as she fled toward the horizon.

That was the only memory she had of Lilith, a sister-like existence.

"I actually regret it." Artemis said very calmly, "For the past ten thousand years, I have been thinking that if I had reacted in time and stopped you immediately, would I have been able to change the result and save many people from the persecution of your sudden natural disaster?"

Artemis said such words, which made the surrounding atmosphere seem a little bad.

"Artemis."

Naduna called out to Artemis.

Artemis ignored Naduna and just looked at Lilith.

"Originally, after knowing what you've done, I made up my mind that if you were to break free from the seal one day, I would definitely eliminate you."

Artemis' calm tone seemed so chilling.

Everyone, including Shien and La Xia, could feel that this goddess was serious.

She really wanted to kill Lilith.

At least, she once thought about it.

Everyone held their breath as they understood this point.

Shien narrowed his eyes and also stared at Artemis.

As for Lilith, she didn't tilt her head, which was rare. Her face was full of question marks.

Even she could recognize the threat that appeared in front of her at this time.

Therefore, Lilith met Artemis' gaze, and a black fog-like evil energy slowly rose from her body.

Artemis seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and her body also bloomed with white light.

The black fog and white light seemed to be natural enemies of each other. While confronting each other, they rubbed against each other violently, causing the queen's palace to tremble slightly.

"Artemis!"

While protecting all the elven girls present, Naduna constructed a magic barrier to block the black mist and white light that were spreading to this side. Her voice finally sounded a little serious.

The white light on Artemis' body slowed down, and then slowly converged.

Lilith blinked, but also subconsciously put away the evil energy.

The two faced each other again.

"I heard that you have retrieved the rationality that you once abandoned, and made up for the defects that will appear in special transcendent-level existences like us other than the three goddesses and the six demons, right?"

Artemis said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner in front of Lilith.

"In that case, I will also temporarily take back the oath that I made in the past. Let's see if you, the strongest evil god, have really returned with your rationality and no longer harm the living beings in the world."

"But don't forget, okay?"

"As long as one day you harm the living beings in the world as an evil god again, I will not hesitate to destroy you."

"Because this is the only duty that I, the goddess of justice, should carry out."

After leaving such words, Artemis moved her gaze away from Lilith and looked at Shien on the side.

The goddess of justice's eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, she returned to calmness.

"Don't stare at me with murderous eyes, hero. I said, I won't do anything to your Lilith now."

For some reason, the phrase "your Lilith" was full of a different meaning.

Shien didn't feel it, just smiled slightly, and said.

"Sorry, no matter what, you threatened to kill my people in front of me, and I didn't do it on the spot. Isn't that already giving you face?"

Shien's words made Artemis' eyes flicker again.

Her gaze suddenly became complicated.
