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

Chapter 682 Waking up to the Battle of the Royal City?
Ross had witnessed Celia's resistance over the past few days.

In fact, even if Celia didn't try to break the 'immune system's' rejection response, those tentacles would be greatly strengthened during this final period and then attack Celia and the others.

According to normal bodily principles, a high fever lasting two or three days has already caused serious damage to the body. The immune system needs to launch a "battle" to either kill the body or kill the virus.

The time Ross gave was not only the time Phil had to obtain the divine relic, but also the maximum time for the rejection reaction to occur within the simulated body of Harodias.

After this time, this 'body' will suffer irreversible damage.

In other words, at this final moment, the offensive will increase exponentially until it reaches the limit that this 'body' can withstand.

This limit is beyond what the current Celia can withstand, and even a sixth-tier mage would not be able to bear it.

So Ross just wanted to see how long Celia could hold out and whether she could silently endure it.

Finally, Celia's decision to try and crack the 'immune system' made him nod in agreement.

If Celia eventually can't take it anymore and chooses to ask for help, he will do the same.

Forcing it wouldn't be impossible, but it would disrupt all previous plans.

When everything calmed down, Ross appeared beside Celia and nodded. "Well done. Now, just wait for the portal to open."

Celia breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax completely.

"finally……"

The girl felt her body go limp and almost fell. Luckily, she managed to use her staff as a crutch to support herself.

She looked up at the others and smiled slightly. "Alright, we're safe now. The portal will open in about five hours, and everyone can return. During this time, you can wander around. Just remember not to attack randomly. There's nothing else to be careful about."

Everyone quickly relaxed.

The captain and Lana were mindful of their image, but the remaining team member sat down on the ground with his elbows on his knees, panting heavily.

"Damn it, why am I, a guardian of the sacred tree, being assigned to investigate such a dangerous place? This kind of place should be left to the elders."

The captain said irritably, "If the elders could come, would we need you?"

Celia did not participate in their conversation, but simply had the puppet stand aside while she sat cross-legged and meditated silently.

There was still some time before the portal Ross mentioned would open, and Celia had no idea what lay on the other side of the portal.

If she is under the sacred tree, she needs to restore her magic power and find a way to leave.

As for the others, after a short rest, they decided to continue exploring.

With Celia's words, they were free to act, preparing to gather as much information as possible in the last few hours and send it back to the Elven Royal Court for experts to study.

Time passed quietly.

Soon, the time came, and a faint, strange fluctuation appeared in the space in front of them. Withered branches slowly emerged from the ground, connecting in the air and gradually forming the shape of a door, similar to the one they had entered through.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the door appear.

Lana looked back at her still-beating 'heart' and muttered, "It seems like I didn't get anything this time."

The captain said irritably, "Alright, it's good enough that we're alive. What else are you thinking about? All the information here is our harvest. I have a feeling that if the royal court gets these, it will definitely be able to solve the long-standing beast tide problem."

Lana looked at Celia: "Miss Celia, I wonder if you've gained anything from this trip?"

"These are the strange things we've gained," Celia said.

The biggest gain was for Phil; at most, she stole some of the gods' memories while trying to get her 'body' to accept her.

Some of these are spells about life and death, and others are about a long-forgotten past.

However, she doesn't have time to delve into those long-forgotten past events right now. Her immediate priority is to find a way to get Phil out of the Elf King's City!

Phil's disguise would be exposed if he went out and said just a few words; he couldn't keep up the act.

While pondering a way to escape, Celia stepped into the portal. The scene before her changed, and the familiar ground beneath the sacred tree appeared before her.

"It's still here. I thought I could be teleported somewhere else," Celia thought, somewhat disappointed.

Along with her, besides Lana and the other two, Phil was also present.

Celia looked at Phil and asked, "Besides you, is there no one else?"

Phil paused, blinked, and asked, puzzled, "Is there anyone else?"

“It’s nothing.” Celia shook her head and turned to ask Ross, “Lord Ross, wasn’t there another person who possessed the Flower of Life? Why didn’t they come out with Phil?”

Ross smiled slightly: "She didn't go in from here, so of course she won't come out from here."

"Oh fine."

Celia stopped dwelling on the issue.

Because the elven guards who remained here had already come to greet them.

“Miss Xi, the King has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me to the Royal Court.”

Lana smiled and said, "Miss Xi, you won't refuse this time, will you?"

Celia shrugged. "Alright, then I'll go with you to the royal court as a guest."

Now is not the time to run away; we can only go along with them for now.

Soon, the group arrived on the ground. Lana and the other two bid farewell to Celia, as they had their own missions to complete.

As Celia was about to follow the elven guards to the royal court, she suddenly paused and looked up at the distant sky.

She could vaguely hear the urgent alarm sounding.

Furthermore, there are intense fluctuations in pollution and magic.

"What's going on? What happened over there?" Celia asked, frowning.

"The beast tide has arrived outside the royal city and is attacking it," the guard reported.

"What? So fast?" Celia exclaimed in surprise.

Based on the original beast tide offensive, no matter how you calculate it, it was impossible for them to reach the Elf King's City.

Because the Elven Court is guiding the beast tide toward other empires and the Protoss Forbidden Lands.

Judging by the time, those beast tides should have already reached the territories of the Orc Empire, the Protoss Forbidden Lands, and the Ishtar Empire.

They may have even reached the territory of the Lionheart Kingdom.

This kind of thing is becoming more and more convenient no matter how you look at it, and although the other empires are annoyed, they can't say anything about it.

But why did the beast tide come to the royal city?
That's good now; other empires probably won't bother with the Elven Court anymore.

After all, the Elven race is almost wiped out, so how could they possibly have the resources to restrain these monsters from going to other empires?

Celia frowned, thought for a moment, and decided that it was more reliable to ask the Elf King about such matters. So she and Phil, led by the guards, entered the highest level of the Sacred Tree, the reception area of ​​the Elf King's court.

The Elf King had already heard the news of Celia's release, and he put aside everything else to come and receive her.

Besides him, there was Elena, and a bunch of elders and elven warriors that Celia knew or didn't know.

Upon meeting, before the Elf King could say anything, Elena spoke.

"Xi... the intensity of the beast tide has suddenly increased."

"Ok?"
