Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 569 The main artery was cut!
"I knew it……"

Celia, who was searching for the other half of the Heart of the Death Element Puppet, hadn't gone far when she sensed a problem with the node behind her.

She has installed sensors on the nodes so that as long as the distance is not too far, they can transmit information to her.

Although it can only transmit two pieces of information, namely safety and danger, it is enough to know a lot of things.

After carefully considering her feelings, Celia pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

"I should have known better than to chat with that Lana, otherwise I could have just pretended to ignore her."

As she spoke, Celia turned and walked back.

Ross smiled at her.

This is the saintess.

Ross doesn't consider himself a good person, but he likes good people.

As a prospective saintess, Celia embodies kindness to the fullest, maintaining her true nature even after being tainted by his influence, which is admirable.

Before long, Celia returned to the surging, polluted tide.

She looked at it carefully for a moment, then turned to Ross and asked, "Lord Ross, could this be the other half of the Puppet Heart?"

Ross said, "There's a certain probability."

"However, such a huge storm will surely alert the people of the Elven Royal Court. Let's find a way to hide."

As they were talking, Celia noticed that a node not far away was breaking. She thought for a moment, then quietly took control of the magic circle, gathering all the energy from the surrounding nodes to form a protective film on the other party's body.

But she quickly stopped and frowned.

"Wait, how come the magical elements of these elves have such a high compatibility with the polluted life elements?"

In that moment of hesitation, the polluted tide instantly broke through the magic array's restraints, washing over the captain and all the surrounding team members, forcibly entering their bodies and merging into them.

The surging pollution did not stop upon entering the elf's body; it quickly passed over and washed away into the distance.

Celia also became part of the washout.

However, unlike the elves, this pollution did not invade her body.

When life elements and pollution approach the body's surface, they separate. The life elements do not enter the body, while the separated pollution is eliminated by Celia as soon as it gets close.

Despite the waves of pollution, Celia reached out to the five unconscious elves, placed her hand on the captain's forehead, and released her spiritual power, slowly entering his body.

Not long after, she withdrew her mental energy.

"Hmm, pollution and life elements have all entered her body. The life elements are improving her physique, but the pollution is also destroying her body, as if she's using her body as a battlefield..."

Celia clicked her tongue, then shook her head when she saw the pain on the elf squad leader's face.

"Although it is ten times more painful than being invaded by pollution than others, it is not without its benefits. The life elements constantly repair the body, which can improve physical fitness and magic refinement to a certain extent... Of course, the premise is that the pollution can be successfully dispelled, otherwise, one will live in pain for the rest of one's life."

Celia reached out, intending to cleanse the contaminants separated from her body, but hesitated for a moment and withdrew her hand.

"Let's not purify them for now. Logically speaking, the Elven royal family should have a way to resolve their pollution and turn this misfortune into a blessing in disguise... In short, let's see how things go first."

There is a limit to the amount of pollutants that can enter the body.

Celia checked on the other team members and confirmed that they were not in any danger of death before the arrival of elven reinforcements. She left them lying there like corpses and got up to walk deeper into the contamination.

Previously, because of Lana's explanation and the fact that the pollution was very faint, Celia thought it was just an ordinary pus-filled elven forest.

But given the current situation, it's possible that the pus is located right on the main artery of the Elf Forest. However…

"Does the Elf Forest, like the Star Spirit Tree, release pollution during its growth process?" Celia asked Ross curiously.

Ross said, "No, only the Star Spirit Tree has the power to release dual-dimensional energy. The Elf Forest is merely the 'artifact' of the Elf God, and it is far from reaching the level of the Star Spirit Tree."

Celia said, "Then why is there so much pollution here? It just won't stop. Anyone who doesn't know better would think that the veins of the Elf Forest are filled with pollution."

Ross's phantom floated beside Celia, gazing into the depths of the pollution with a profound look: "Who knows?"

As we entered the pollution, it was like diving into water; the feeling of being swept away by waves slowly disappeared, and we were enveloped in thick fog.

At this moment, the visibility around them was almost zero, and Celia was moving forward entirely by relying on the mental perception brought about by the mage's hand.

Fortunately, the sweeping wave guided her in the right direction, preventing her from losing her way.

As she moved forward, Celia's brows slowly furrowed.

She discovered that the pollution immunity Ross had given her was passive and sometimes even ineffective, allowing the pollution to flood into her body.

This is because there is an upper limit to passive load, and anything exceeding this limit can still affect her.

Fortunately, the impact is minimal.

She didn't know how long she had been walking when Celia sensed a change in the direction of the pollution wave ahead. It was no longer crashing towards her, but instead was flowing in all directions.

"It seems this is the central area."

Celia arrived at the middle point of the surging flow.

She couldn't see what was in front of her, but in her mental perception, there was a bottomless pit, and her mental scan couldn't even detect the bottom.

"If it weren't for a mage's intervention, someone might have died if they had stepped into the air..."

Celia muttered to herself.

She was caught in a dilemma.

"The pollution level here is too high. I don't know what's going on inside, Lord Ross. Should I go in?"

The girl gave the choice to Ross.

Ross's phantom appeared beside her, and even though it was obscured by the thick fog, Celia could still see him.

Ross climbed to the top of the cave and looked down. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Now is not the time to go in. Let's wait until the pollution from the gushing out weakens a bit, otherwise something unexpected might happen."

Celia nodded: "Okay."

She scanned the cave again with her mage's hand, but still found nothing. She gave up exploring further and prepared to head back.

Just then, she suddenly sensed something amiss with the magic array she had set up, as if someone was sabotaging it.

This damage is completely different from damage caused by pollution.

A thought flashed through Celia's mind.

"It's possible that Elena brought the team."

Thinking it over, Celia subconsciously walked towards the magic circle node.

"Although I don't want to have any contact with her, it shouldn't be a problem to sneak a peek. I also want to know how she solved the pollution problem. But even if she's at the fourth level, she probably can't solve the problem here..."
