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

Chapter 666 Unbelievably Smooth
Once it was determined that the so-called 'key' was related to monsters, the rest was simple.

Celia first returned to Forest Words City with Phil and stayed there until the agreed time, before heading to the next city to repeat the same trick.

It seemed that the 'key' had been condensed, so even when a beast tide broke through after that, it was only in small numbers. After the Elven Royal Court dispatched a new patrol team to replace the missing patrol team, the two received their final reward and quietly left.

Celia offered half of the gold coins to Phil, but Phil refused. However, she insisted on giving them to Phil anyway, but Phil only accepted a small portion.

The subsequent operations went very smoothly. Upon arriving at the second satellite city, a beast tide quickly broke out in the city the next day. It was once again Celia who helped to resolve the beast tide, while Phil absorbed the wisp of mysterious power within it.

The difference was that the two changed their disguises, and this time no patrol team went missing; the beast tide emerged from a place that the patrol team had not even noticed.

By the time the patrol went to investigate, Phil had already condensed the key, and the beast tide had ceased.

The remaining teleportation energy was extremely chaotic, making it virtually impossible to pinpoint the source of the teleportation. Celia didn't understand spatial magic, but she learned from Ross that the remnants of this teleportation were unpredictable because it used the abyss as a springboard for teleportation. This method of teleportation via springboards had an extremely high failure rate, and it was highly likely that the teleporter would get lost in the spatial turbulence.

In other words, only about one-tenth of the monsters that were actually teleported here may actually be there; the rest are lost in the turbulent currents.

In the second city, because I changed my disguise, I became a helpful sorcerer, and the city lord thanked me, but not much.

After leaving, Phil looked in the direction of the next city, a worried expression flashing across his face.

"It feels like we're being pushed along by some mysterious force. If we don't come, the beast tide won't come; if we come, the beast tide will come... I'm a little worried."

Celia smiled slightly, "Don't worry, perhaps this is just a test from the gods. Only by successfully passing the test can we obtain the divine relics, right?"

"That makes sense, but..."

Phil felt a little guilty as Ross's image flashed through his mind.

After hesitating for a long time, she said, "How about I do it myself, Celia? Although I'm not as efficient at purifying monsters as you are, I can still defeat these monsters. I'll take care of it."

Celia: "?"

“I’m a little worried. This isn’t a gift from the gods, but… but… someone else’s trap.”

"trap?"

Celia was slightly taken aback and glanced at Ross discreetly.

Ross chuckled, "You'll understand when you get to the last place."

"Ok."

Celia suppressed her curiosity, comforted Phil, and then continued on her way.

The third and fourth cities, although they were hit by beast tides shortly after we arrived, did not suffer any damage thanks to Celia's resistance.

As the last wave of beasts subsided, a tree root-shaped 'key' materialized in Phil's hand. Phil took out the other keys, and as if sensing something, the other keys slowly began to glow and merge with the others.

A moment later, a small tree shaped like a withered tree appeared in Phil's hand.

The twigs spread out, but there were no leaves. They emitted a faint glow, which pointed in the direction of the Elf King's City.

"It seems... to have worked?" Phil blinked, somewhat uncertain.

Celia smiled and said, "Then let's set off for the royal city now."

“Okay.” Phil did not put his doubts aside.

But having already wasted so much time, I won't be satisfied until I see for myself whether it's a relic or something else.

After quietly leaving the city, Celia said, "Our trip should attract the attention of the Elven Royal Court. It just so happens that when the beast tide attacked the city, there was a sorcerer who could quickly deal with a large number of beast tides. Such a 'coincidence' is something the Royal Court cannot ignore. Therefore, we need to be careful when we go to the Elven Royal City. The Elven Royal City will not have only a few fourth-tier sorcerers like these other cities. There will be a lot of sixth-tier sorcerers there."

Phil nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Anyway, it's time to reveal the secret... Hmm, let's also contact Bishop Melina and see how things are going on her end."

Celia quickly contacted Melina to inform her of Phil's progress.

They moved around near the Elf King's city without hiding it from Melina, as the Holy Lord was very concerned about the progress of obtaining the divine relics.

There must be fifth- or even sixth-tier mages watching them from the shadows to prevent them from falling into danger.

Celia knew, but she didn't go looking for it or ask Ross to tell her.

Melina's projection quickly appeared in front of them.

She smiled when she saw the two of them.

"It seems that our two little saintesses have successfully obtained the fourth key."

Celia nodded: "We are now heading to the Elven King's City to find out where the relics are. Speaking of which, what's the situation like lately? I haven't asked."

Melina said, "Be careful, don't use magic lightly in the royal city. As for the situation, the Elven Royal Court has found a way to guide the monsters. They've led a large number of monsters to the Star Spirit Forbidden Land, the Orc Empire's border, and our border. Quite a few monsters have already crossed the border into Ishtar territory. Tsk tsk, this Elven King really has no ability at all."

Did they really do that?
Celia thought to herself.

After carefully understanding the situation, Celia cut off contact.

During this time, because Phil was there, she hadn't contacted Elena and wasn't quite sure what the Elven Court's plans were. She could only find out through Melina.

However, we can only see the surface.

During this period, the Elven Royal Court mobilized a large number of Elven troops to stabilize the defensive line and prevent it from breaking through to the vicinity of the Elven Royal City.

However, because they intentionally sent the monsters to other countries, many villages and even towns were still attacked by the monsters, resulting in considerable casualties.

Such self-defeating behavior could only be met with silent condemnation from the Elven Royal Court, along with other empires.

After that, all we could do was watch.

Even if she could instantly kill monsters by herself, she couldn't withstand the onslaught of a monster horde.

After ending her contact with Melina, Celia focused her mind on her mental space, looked at Ross, and asked expectantly, "Lord Ross said before that we would know when we reached the last place. Will we know now?"

Ross nodded, and with a flow of divine power, a mirror appeared in front of Celia.

Celia looked over and realized it was the absolute core of the underground magic circle in the Elf Forest, a place she had visited before—

The place where the fragments of divinity, which form the foundation, are located.
