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

Chapter 635 Signs of the End of the World
Deep underground lies the foundation of the contamination-binding magic array.

Ashgard, with his back to the fragments of divinity, faced Yu Jeria and Ze Lisslin, exuding a serious aura.

Are you sure you're ready?

Ashgard asked in a deep voice.

Yu Jeria and Ze Lissolin exchanged a glance, and after a moment, they both took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

"Alright, in that case, let me help you with one last thing."

As he spoke, he turned around to face the fragments of divinity.

Strange patterns began to spread from beneath his feet, extending outwards in all directions.

"The pollution that binds us here has given birth to far too many demons. Their existence will affect the awakening of the gods. Therefore, before awakening them, you need to expel those demonic puppets from the ground. One last time, are you sure you want to do this?"

Ze Lissalind hesitated, but Yu Jeria pressed her shoulder and said calmly, "I am quite certain that these monsters, which have no concept of life or death, are the filth designed by that damned evil god to bind Lord Harodias. We must not allow this filth to taint the ritual of the god's descent."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Ze Lissolin and said softly, "Ze, at this point, we have no other choice. With such a massive amount of pollution released, He will surely sense it. If He knows that we have 'betrayed' Him, He will not remain indifferent and allow us to continue."

"Your current thoughts are influenced by your own life faction, which is why you feel sorry for disasters and lives. Just like I am influenced by the death faction, I believe that death is the final destination of life. Moreover, this large-scale pollution leak was bound to happen even if we did nothing. This magic circle... has been eroded and decayed by those demons. We cannot watch Lord Harodias decay along with the magic circle and eventually fall into becoming an evil god."

Ze Lissolin's lips moved, and she took a deep breath. "Too radical."

Ashgard chuckled: "There's nothing radical about it. This is just a rehearsal. The evil god you mentioned, after releasing the Abyss during the Age of Calamity, changed the laws of the Abyss's entrance, preventing most of the pollution from entering the Abyss and allowing it to accumulate in this world... One day, when all the pollution completely erupts, the disaster it will cause will be a hundred times, a thousand times greater than it is now. Calling it the end of the world wouldn't be an exaggeration."

“Yes.” Yu Jeria nodded: “Just like all the secondary underworlds I’ve created around the world, they were all preparations for this moment.”

Ze Lissling looked at Ashgard and said calmly, "Although I don't think you're acting out of kindness to solve the pollution of the whole world, this may just be a side effect of your purpose. However, as you said, the consequences of the pollution outbreak are indeed unbearable for you and me. Only by awakening the gods can we be saved... Alright, let's begin."

“Okay.” Ashgard nodded.

The brilliance of the patterns burst forth instantly.

In the shadows, Celia watched quietly, trying to understand the pattern, but whenever she tried, she always felt dizzy.

Ross's voice came through: "Stop looking. He added the power of laws to the runes. This is an ability that only mages of the seventh rank or above can freely control. If your strength is insufficient, you will be affected by the laws."

"it is good."

Celia obediently stopped watching.

She watched Ashgard do his thing silently, pondering the message conveyed in their words.

"Lord Ross... is what that person said about the pollution outbreak... true?"

Ross nodded slightly. "It's true. Even the most powerful magic arrays have an expiration date. Without maintenance and updates, magic arrays will age and eventually break down. Whether it's the Golden Apple Stone Forest, the Elf Forest, the Star Spirit Forbidden Land, or even the various sea areas outside the Starfall Continent, magic arrays that bind pollution will break down over time."

"This damage may break down little by little, or it may be like a dam bursting, destroying everything in an instant. The magic circle underground in the Elf Forest is the type that breaks down slowly."

"Did these three people deliberately sabotage this?" Celia asked.

"Yes." Ross nodded, confirming Celia's question.

"They did this..."

Celia didn't know what to say for a moment.

Yu Jeria and Ze Lissolin deliberately damaged the magic circle, causing the pollution within it to leak. This incident seems to have been going on for five hundred years, but when they met Lana before, Lana said that it seemed that the Elf Forest had only become "sick" in recent years.

What the two of them said seems to contradict something...

This question can only be answered after we leave and check the situation in the Elf Forest.

Their purpose in doing so, besides waking Harodias, seems to be to prevent the pollution from erupting suddenly like a dam breaking.

Celia knew that the pollution currently raging in the Elf Forest was actually only a small fraction of the underground pollution.

That area occupies only about one percent of the entire Elf Forest.

That little bit, once released, was enough to wreak havoc on a large part of the Starfall Continent.

Of course, if it were just rampant pollution, this amount wouldn't be a big deal. But the fact that this pollution could resist purification techniques meant that there was no way to deal with it in the first place, leaving the area completely powerless against its impact.

"Besides here, are there other places where pollution is hidden... also causing this problem?"

Celia murmured to herself.

Ross nodded. "Judging from the situation in the Elf Forest, perhaps it is. We'll find some time later to delve into the Protoss Forbidden Lands and then take a look at the ocean. Then we'll understand."

Celia said, "I will definitely go!"

Perhaps she didn't really want to go into the ocean before.

Because it's not only dangerous there, but also incredibly boring, with nothing but endless ocean and polluted smog.

However, after learning from the three people in front of her that the pollution might cause a major outbreak, Celia decided to go and see what was there once she was sure that her strength would improve enough to protect herself on the ocean.

She stopped there and continued to secretly observe the three of them.

But after Ashgard started, the three of them stopped talking.

After waiting for a long time without hearing any more news, Celia had no choice but to ask Ross, "Lord Ross, are they perhaps trying to bring out all the monsters from underground?"

"Yes, these are runes that incite and expel monsters. He integrated the runes into the heart of the life-faction magic puppet, which is the foundation of the magic puppet, indirectly affecting all the monsters underground and making them restless."

"Then these monsters..."

"Just as you thought, the monsters will seek out the nearest entrance, and the almost empty surface pollution source is where the monsters flock."

In other words, a monster siege is coming.
