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

Chapter 672 The Tool Squad

The fog in front of us gradually dissipated.

When her vision cleared, Celia found herself in a vast underground space, facing a gigantic monster.

"Is this... the place I've been before?"

The monster in front of him was exactly the same as the one he had seen before in the underground of the pollution source.

But in a daze, Celia felt something was different.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

The heart-pounding sound came again.

Celia frowned, about to warn Phil about the monster tide, but when she turned around, she couldn't see Phil anywhere.

Just as they were wondering, Ross's voice came: "She received a call from Haroldias, so she went to a place that looks the same, but is a little different."

"Where?"

"The resting place of Harodias, the place where his soul resides."

Ross slowly walked towards the giant monster, saying calmly as he went:
"Furthermore, this is not the place you came to before. This is a mirrored subspace."

Celia was no stranger to constructing a mirrored subspace world based on reality.

Most ruins are like this, so it's not surprising that Celia found it here as well.

"So, Phil and I were assigned to different subspaces when we came in?"

Celia followed Ross's lead and walked up.

"So what is the purpose of this subspace?"

Celia looked around curiously.

The sound, like a heartbeat, still rang out.

However, no trace of monsters was found in the vicinity.

Furthermore, Celia did not sense the slightest pollution here.

Yes, it exists, but the environment is similar to the outside world.

Celia even felt that the outside world was purer than the outside world—because even if the outside world seemed unpolluted, it actually hid some imperceptible pollution.

Pollution has long been present throughout the world, but in most places the concentration is not yet sufficient to affect daily life. Just like bacteria.

“This should be the subspace that Harodias uses to deal with invaders, just like now. You and Phil come in together. Only Phil can enter the core area, but you can only come here.”

As he spoke, Ross looked behind him and said, "The elves have arrived too."

"Well……"

Celia looked behind her and, sure enough, saw a five-person team of elven mages barging in.

Seeing that none of the sixth-tier mages were inside, Celia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems they believed me and didn't dare send in a sixth-tier cultivator. That's good."

The incoming elf squad saw Celia and quickly approached her.

"Miss Xi, is this... the pollution node that the King mentioned, buried beneath the Elf King's city?"

Buried beneath the Elf King's city?
Seeing that the others didn't seem surprised at all, a thought struck Celia.

Based on what the elven elder had said earlier, she had a guess.

"Was that place we explored earlier actually located underground in the Elf King's City?"

“Yes.” Ross confirmed Celia’s guess.

"The 'heart' of the magic circle is indeed underground in the Elf King's City. That 'evil god' is using the sacred tree to supply life energy to the 'heart' so that the heart can continuously renew the pollution, allowing the pollution to flow and combine with the life elements. It's a very interesting move. I think I have a rough idea of ​​what he's planning to do."

"doing what?"

"Hilaria asked hurriedly."

She sensed that Ross might not say anything, but her face still held a look of anticipation.

"We will attempt to fuse pollution with various types of magic to create new power, thereby breaking through the limitations of godhood."

"A brand new power?"

Celia blinked.

"Hmm, this kind of knowledge is a bit too advanced for you. I'll tell you when I have the chance later."

Celia pouted, "Okay."

Seeing Celia's resentful look, Ross chuckled and added, "But what I can tell you is that the direction I cultivate is actually this kind of power. You can also call it the power of the primordial, the power of the stars... anything goes."

As he spoke, Ross gave a strange look: "According to some less traditional names, I've also called it 'psychic energy'. Anyway, just know the name. Zeus... that 'evil god' would probably call it primordial power. Alright, you still have a few elves to fool, don't just stand there in a daze for too long."

"Um, okay."

Having learned so many previously unknown secrets, Celia's curiosity was satisfied, and she stopped asking further questions.

At this moment, she was standing in front of the giant monster, seemingly staring at it in a daze.

Those who came in were not adventurers, and they were not exactly knowledgeable about exploration; in fact, they knew absolutely nothing about it.

The situation was urgent, and the Elf King could only send them over first; he didn't have time to issue any further orders.

At this time, the one guarding the sacred tree was clearly not an explorer skilled in exploration.

So they could only watch Cilia helplessly. Cilia didn't speak, and neither did they, afraid of accidentally making a sound.

They were mostly confidants of the Elf King, and some had even participated in the investigation of 'Xi' and knew about 'Xi's' past deeds.

They naturally felt a fondness for this elf who seemed to be blessed by the gods and who liked to secretly protect the elven race.

This time, when 'Xi' suddenly arrived at the base of the Sacred Tree and used the withered element to open the door to the underground, they naturally assumed that Xilia was working hard to resolve the disaster, just like the previous times.

At this moment, they were unable to contact the Elf King. After careful consideration, the captain decided to wait and see what Celia had to say.

"The King let us in not to conduct an investigation, but to protect Miss Xi's safety. So, all we need to do is keep an eye on her, and if she has any requests, we can help her," the captain thought to himself.

Unaware of their thoughts, Celia snapped out of her conversation with Ross and looked at the five people behind her. Seeing that they hadn't moved, she said, "Didn't the King give you any tasks? What are you looking at me for? Go do your jobs."

The captain said, "The task that the king assigned to us is to protect Miss Xi."

"I don't need protection."

"Um...maybe Miss Xi can find something she needs from us."

"This..."

Celia's eyes darted around, and she roughly guessed what the squad was thinking.

Judging from their gait and expressions, it was clear they knew nothing about exploration and investigation.

"It seems their mission isn't to investigate the underground situation, but to keep an eye on me. In that case, I'd be letting down the Elf King's 'kindness' if I didn't use you."

Celia narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile, "I do have something I'd like to ask for your help with. I wonder if you could help me out?"

"Speak! I will complete the mission!"
