The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 202 The Real Scheme

As the crown prince of Avando, a god-king praised by countless mortals and gods, Corellon could understand his eldest son's pride, which was no different from his own, and also looked down on the insignificant humans in the mortal world.

But the way Prince Sunshine had just been so enraged and humiliated by a group of mortals made him very dislike it.

“Terrani, it’s quite unbecoming of you to stage this whole farce over a ridiculous prophecy. Do you really believe that those insignificant mortals can threaten us?” the King of the Gods of Avando said coldly.

“Look,” Rabelas said, toying with the hourglass in his hand, a smile on his face, “Terrani, none of them support you.”

“Sister, Father, Shahani, Rabelas…” Prince Sunlight trembled slightly, sweat dripping from his forehead:
"When did you first notice my actions in the mortal realm!?"

La Bellas smiled and said:
“From the moment you descended into this form, we have turned our attention to the mortal realm and observed your every move.”

Within the palace of the Sun Elves, statues of each member of the Celesteian gods are naturally enshrined.

With the help of these idols, several elven gods, including Rabelas, Elisetra, and Sahani Moonbow, extended their divine perception into the material plane and watched the entire performance of Terrani tonight.

"what?"

Upon hearing this answer, which was like a bolt from the blue, Prince Riyao gasped.

He defied the rules by descending incarnation, embarrassed the Moon Elf Queen, waged a full-scale war against humans, and charged furiously at King Elion of Man. In the end, he even went so far as to try to send a part of his true form into the material world in a fit of rage...

Tonight, all his impulsive and ugly behavior was witnessed by his father, sister, and the Moon Elf Goddess.

He thus incurred the slight displeasure of three deities: the moon goddess Sahani, the kind and compassionate sister Elestris, and the father who disliked the rivalry between gods and mortals!

"This……"

Prince Riyao gritted his teeth.

At that moment, he even felt that he had fallen into some kind of trap.

He thought himself omnipotent, but many gods watched his performance as if it were a monkey.

For that brief moment, Prince Sunlight even had a moment of doubt:
King Elion of Mankind was deliberately provoking himself, intentionally making him reveal more of his ugly side, and causing him to violate the rules and interfere with the mortal realm, all of which was observed by many gods.

No, no, I'm overthinking it. A mortal shouldn't know about the affairs of the divine realm...

"Hold... I'm sorry."

Prince Sunlight lowered his head and withdrew his right hand, which had been stretched out into the void. The sun-like light on his hand gradually faded.

"I promise I will never do such an impulsive thing again."

"I will forget that prophecy and no longer interfere in mortal affairs!"

The once arrogant Sun Elf God now had a somber expression and gritted his teeth.

He also sensed that the ritual to alter fate had failed, and his chosen soul, Larklas, had suffered a severe backlash, likely leaving him in a prolonged coma...

He lost tonight's match.

They lost miserably.

Seeing this once arrogant prince of the gods, for the first time in millions of years, display such an embarrassed expression, the god of longevity, Rabelas, couldn't help but laugh.

He subtly winked at a corner of the banquet hall.

In a corner of the banquet, the goddess of knowledge and prophecy, Aion, also cast a knowing smile at Rabelas.

This was a plan that Ain and Elion had already discussed during their conversation about the gods before Elion set off.

Originally, even if this high-level elven magic ritual had failed, the Sun Prince might have used other methods to target or even destroy human civilization. But now, through a carefully orchestrated scheme, this enemy of Eldoron has temporarily withdrawn.

At the edge of the banquet, in a secluded spot unnoticed, Queen Aros sipped her mead from a silver cup, her expression one of utter contentment.

It was as if tonight's farce had nothing to do with her.

……

Matter plane.

"The giant hand of the gods has vanished?" "The Sun Prince has retreated!"

The many soldiers of Eldoron, who were prepared to fight the god to the death, celebrated loudly, filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.

They shed sweat and tears, and embraced each other tightly.

Whoosh.

In a flash of light and a distortion of space, Elian's figure reappeared in the night sky.

—It's just unknown whether he came in his true form or as a projection.

“Your Majesty Elion, my teacher, we have won, haven’t we?” The dragon vein sorcerer Grete waved excitedly at Elion as he saw him appear.

Elian nodded slightly:
"Yes."

"We have won! We have won a great victory!"

Using his knowledge from his past life and his understanding of Prince Sun's personality traits and flaws, Elian orchestrated tonight's grand spectacle.

Under his repeated coercion and psychological tactics, Prince Sunlight revealed too much impulsiveness and ugliness before the gods.

For a long time to come, the prince of Avangard will only immerse himself in this jubilant feast, forget the shame of tonight, and dare not interfere in earthly affairs again.

The Sun Prince's only battle avatar was destroyed tonight. Under the watchful eyes of the gods at the banquet, having sworn never to interfere in the mortal realm again, he could not openly create another battle avatar.

After that, even if the Sun Prince were to suddenly decide to interfere in mortal affairs, without his true form stepping onto the material plane, he could only use a common avatar of mid-level legendary rank. Elion alone would be sufficient to deal with him.

With this hostile enemy temporarily out of the picture, El-Erian and El-Doron can now focus their efforts on dealing with the upcoming Abyss invasion.

As for the long term...

Amidst the cheers of the crowd around him, the human emperor raised his head, gazing at the slowly closing, enormous hole in the night sky, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

Sooner or later, the culprits of tonight will all have to pay the price.

Whether it was Prince Terani of Avando or Queen Alois.

"On this trip to the Abyss, be wary of the territories of certain Abyss evil gods, such as the slime god Guannard. Several evil gods lurking in the bottomless abyss are allies gathered by Queen Aros in order to overthrow her husband's rule..."

"The split of the elven pantheon would be best brought forward a little earlier..."

"In the original history, during the rebellion of the goddess Alos, the second son Velen sided with his mother, while the daughter Elestrus loved her father more. The Sun Prince Telani, however, wavered, briefly supporting his mother before regretting it, falling into a long period of confusion and detachment from mortal affairs. The chief god Corellon reclaimed the position of [Sun Elf God] from his eldest son..."

"Where will history lead us now...?"

……

"Did Prince Sunlight withdraw his hand?"

"Divine punishment has not descended!?"

"In the end what happened?"

Whether it was the Sun Elf Guards in the palace or Antinoya and the Moon Elf family representatives she brought, they were all bewildered as they watched the humans celebrating their victory in the night sky.

The commanders of the Sun Elf army, in particular, were pale-faced and sweating profusely, caught in a dilemma.

Humans destroyed the battle avatar of the Sun Elf God, committing the grave sin of blasphemy.

Both morally and logically, we should launch a full-scale attack and fight humanity to the death!

But sending them to challenge the powerful Eldorians, who are even incapable of fighting god-like beings, would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Just then, a loud voice came from behind:
"oracle!"

“A priest received an oracle from the divine kingdom of Avangard.”
