The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 68, Section 65: The Monster That Travels Through Time
The elven pantheon was destroyed, and the elven kingdom of Avando fell to the enemy?

Alamir's pupils widened suddenly, as if he had heard the most extreme and blasphemous words he had never even imagined in his life.

As a traditional and conservative sun elf who regarded divine authority as supreme, his body charged forward with great force, only to be firmly bound by strong chains, making a clanging sound.

"Blasphemy!"

"You are blaspheming the elven gods!"

"Hmph, you humans, you truly are a godless, inferior race, even worse than goblins and kobolds, lacking even the most basic sense of reverence. You have no idea how blasphemous your words are!"

Elian remained expressionless as he watched the elf struggle frantically, the chains clanging against each other, his eyes bloodshot, roaring hoarsely.

He was simply recounting something he had personally experienced.

By then, the end of the world had already arrived.

The cowardly and pathetic gods finally realized that the terror of those great beings beyond dimensions far exceeded their imagination.

When the gods born of faith became unstable due to the fall of the world's kingdoms, they were among the first to perish. The ancient gods, primarily racial deities who existed long before mortals, became a crucial line of defense against invaders from distant lands.

Before those hostile pantheons could truly unite and form an alliance, the outer gods of distant lands swiftly annihilated one pantheon after another.

Giant pantheon, orc pantheon, dragon pantheon, elf pantheon...

Elion witnessed firsthand the destruction of the elven kingdom of Avandor in the outer plane "Wilderness" (the chaotic good alignment), the fall of the elven chief god Corellon and the queen goddess Angris, and the final annihilation of the elven supplicants in this once-celebrated paradise.

With the destruction of the Elven Kingdom, the elves who had fled to the mortal realm one day suddenly discovered in despair that they could no longer hear Avando's call.

The last of the legendary elven mages sacrificed their lives to complete a sacred elven high magic ritual in an attempt to fight against the fleet of the Outer Gods' minions.

However, by this time, the Elven Kingdom had already been destroyed, and all the sacrifices had been in vain, producing no effect whatsoever...

The scene of past despair flashed through my mind, and before my eyes rose the elven elder's furious roar:

"You human mages, who do not know how to revere the gods, will one day perish because of your own arrogance and foolishness!"

El-Erian waited patiently for more than ten minutes.

Only after Alamir finally stopped roaring did he begin the formal interrogation:
"Alright, enough of this boring nonsense."

"I have a question for you."

"Ask away," Alamir said coldly.

"What made you end your seclusion early, leave your mage tower at this time, and step into our land?"

"Erian asked."

Alamir raised an eyebrow, quite surprised. He hadn't expected the King of Man to ask him such a seemingly insignificant question.

What Alamir didn't know was that, in Elion's view, this answer might be even more important than the existence of the entire Elven Royal Court!

Clearly, in the original lore, this Sun Elf mage did not launch an attack on Eldoron.

At this point in time, he was still in his tower, immersed in the art of magic.

It wasn't until 20 years later, when the Abyss invaded, that Alamir was forced to leave his mage tower, and he was furious when he learned that humans had learned arcane magic.

But by this time, Eldoron had already been destroyed by the demon army's attack, leaving this conservative sun elf mage with nowhere to vent his anger.

History was distorted at a tiny juncture...

"Why should I tell you?"

Alamir turned his head away, looking reluctant to answer.

“You are a powerful mage, you should know very well that even if you don’t speak, I have many ways to find out the answer.”

El-Erian gave a warm smile.

"Under the influence of magic, the dead can speak; their thoughts, souls, and memories themselves hold the answers; even unwilling enemies can become friendly and speak willingly..."

"While imprisoned, you should be unable to prevent any of the above scenarios from happening to you."

Alamir swallowed hard. As an elven court mage, he naturally understood what Elian meant by the three scenarios.

"Okay, let me tell you..."

Alamir looked rather reluctant: "The question is, why did I end my seclusion in the mage tower early, right?" "Don't lie, I have ways of knowing you're lying," Elion warned.

“A few days ago, a friend of mine—Lia Sunshine, the daughter of the Sun Elf King and a legendary court mage—visited my mage tower.”

"Princess Leah told me that she had discovered a brand new, strange species underground and urged me to end my seclusion as soon as possible so that we could study it together."

Alamir confessed the truth.

"What kind of species?" El-Erian's eyebrows twitched slightly. "What are their characteristics? Like having tentacles around their mouths?"

"I have no idea!"

Alamir shouted angrily.

"After leaving the mage tower, I came here before even going to see Princess Leah!"

After confirming that Alamir genuinely didn't know, El-Erian smiled:
"Thank you for your reply, Mr. Alamir Kingpetal."

It seems that Alamir's early exit from the pass was indeed not caused by some kind of butterfly effect after my time travel...

The underground species discovered by another Sun Elf mage, Lia, is the root cause of the slight alteration in history...

Besides El-Erian's journey, another factor that changed history!
El-Erian had long suspected what this species was and why it appeared at this time.

All that's left is to verify it.

O distant god from afar, when I willingly abandoned my physical body, divinity, and magic, self-destructing my divine form to open a tunnel in the river of time, throwing myself into this game in a desperate gamble, you cowardly and pathetic creatures, unable to relinquish your own dignity and power, followed behind me, only able to send back these servants devoid of divinity…

El-Erian's thoughts drifted away.

"Hmph, human, if you want to know what new species Princess Lia discovered, you can go ask her yourself!"

Alamir said in a mocking tone:
"You've captured a court mage like me! Her Majesty the Queen and the entire royal court will soon find out and send troops to destroy your human kingdom!"

El-Erian said rather casually:

"Don't worry about it."

"We will take the initiative to contact the Elven Royal Court immediately."

After saying that, Elian took out a crystal that was sparkling clear:
"The dragon vein warlock Grete who defeated you carried a recording crystal that documented the entire battle."

"I will send the Elven Court all the footage of your destruction of our human school, your declaration to kill all humans who can use magic, and the entire battle afterward."

"Then, we demand that the Elven Royal Court provide corresponding compensation, offering sufficient benefits in exchange for the people!"

what?
Alamir was astonished by the human emperor's bold counterattack.

Instead of thinking about how to avoid retaliation from the Elven Court, they turned around and demanded compensation from the Elven Court.
Is this human insane?

Wait, the entire battle footage is...

Including the scene where he was brutally beaten by a group of humans until he surrendered in a sorry state...

Alamir realized the crucial issue, his gaze froze, and he almost cried out:
"Wait, no, stop, human!"

Amidst the agonizing and desperate howls of the sun elves behind him, Elion turned and walked away, a smile disappearing at the end of the dark corridor.

……

As dusk settled, the moon rose above the branches.

Night fell, enveloping the beautiful, magical forest.

Countless shimmering fluorescent lights drifted through the forest.

In the magnificent and unbelievable royal palace, the Elf Queen is holding a grand banquet.

Many elven ministers and nobles, as well as all the court mages, will participate in this grand event!
"Strange. Why isn't Alamir Goldfleck here?"

The sun elf mage, Leah, suddenly realized that one person was missing:
"Hasn't he already finished his seclusion?"

Oh no, I think I have a psychological problem. Writing about the destruction of the elven pantheon gave me a real thrill. Maybe I really do have deep-seated resentment towards elves.

In a sense, I've been waiting to write this passage ever since I started writing the book.
