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

Chapter 706 The God King's Puppet

The trials that belonged to Celia have come to an end.

What happened next was beyond Celia's control.

Ross is currently unaware of what the god-king Zeuddin intends to do.

For Celia's safety, it's best not to let her go there again.

Ross's gaze swept across the entire Elf Forest.

With Celia making that round, plus the subsequent replenishment of the beast tide and the support of the underground magic array, he can now basically monitor everything in the entire Elf Forest secretly.

With such a significant event as Haroldias' awakening, it's impossible for Zeuding to remain unresponsive.

It hasn't appeared yet; perhaps it's because of some problem?
Ross fell into deep thought.

He watched as Ze Lissolin and Guit finished their conversation, and the two discussed the situation of the 'evil god,' seemingly preparing to deal with it.

"It seems the Kingdom of Phoenix has done some research on Zeuding?"

Ross thought of it.

He was not yet clear about the situation, but their subsequent conversation indicated that Zhou Ding would not appear easily.

He... will only send his retinue or something similar to descend.

"Let's wait and see how things develop."

……

Three more days passed quickly.

The Elven people have made great progress in their disaster relief efforts.

Meanwhile, with the help of teams dispatched by other empires, the pollution was further purified.

At this moment, other empires have contained the pollution at their borders, and by following Ishtar's example, they have largely prevented the pollution from spreading throughout the world.

On the surface, the calamity in the Elf Forest was slowly receding. The Elf Royal Court was making a big fuss to boost morale, filling everyone's hearts with hope and encouraging them to cooperate with the Royal Court.

Secretly, the Elven court continued to summon sorcerers to conduct ongoing investigations into the 12 cracks that had appeared.

There are still many monsters underground. After their numbers decreased to a certain level, these monsters stopped emerging and continued to roam deep underground.

As Harodias took over their bodies, they became restless, but instead of running out, they scurried around underground.

These roaming monsters caused a lot of trouble for underground exploration.

But no matter how troublesome it is, it cannot stop the exploration team from exploring.

With something this big underground in the Elf Forest, no one could possibly sleep peacefully.

After the calamity, the entire Elven Royal Court placed even greater emphasis on the underground, and at this time, even sixth-tier mages went underground.

However, even sixth-tier mages only act as protectors and will not easily attack monsters.

These explorations proved extremely troublesome for the Temple of Resurrection, but they were powerless to stop the elves from entering.

To avoid being exposed, they even needed to erase all traces of the Temple of Resurrection underground.

Phoenix did not inform the Elven Court about the location of the Temple of Resurrection in the core area, so the Elven Court only felt that the Temple of Resurrection might be related to this disaster, without any concrete evidence.

The Elven Royal Court currently lacks the resources to investigate further and can only issue a warning during a conversation with Ze Lissalien.

And at this time.

The center of the underground magic array.

Guido from the Kingdom of Phoenix has come here once again.

This time, he didn't bring anyone else with him.

As for the Temple of Resurrection and the Church of Twilight, only Yu Jeria and Ze Lissolin were present. "You said that the followers of that evil god will descend here? Is that true?" Ze Lissolin looked at Guit warily and asked skeptically.

"Why would I lie to you?" Guit said calmly. "You're worried that I'll try to steal this fragment of divinity. Don't worry, I don't have the ability to do so."

"Hmph." Yu Jeria merely snorted and remained silent.

Ze Lissolin said, "I hope you're right, and that familiar isn't very strong, otherwise..."

"No, once you're shackled, you'll need to obey, and the other party will naturally have to obey as well. The summoned servants are at most at the seventh rank, just like me."

The two fell silent.

Just then, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared above the divine fragment that served as the foundation.

Then, a... puppet emerged from it, floating in the air, looking down at the fragments of divinity below, and then looking at the three people standing not far away.

"That's enough, intruder."

A terrifying surge of magical energy erupted from the puppet, and even Guit's expression turned serious.

“The evil god’s puppet possesses powerful combat abilities and magical power; you must be careful,” Guit said.

“What does it want to do?” Ze Lissolin frowned.

"Of course, we should restore this place to its original state. If we appear here, it will kill us first and then repair the magic circle."

"What else is there to say? Let's go!"

"Hmph, although I don't want to cooperate with you, there's no other way now."

"..."

Ross watched quietly as the battle rapidly unfolded.

The ground here has been reinforced by a magic array, making it capable of withstanding the battle of a seventh-tier mage. Furthermore, their battle did not release too many aftershocks, which kept this place very stable and did not affect other places.

"A puppet made by Zeus? Interesting. The puppet heart inside this puppet, although not a complete divine core, is still much stronger than other puppet hearts."

Ross seemed to be deep in thought.

This puppet only has the strength of the seventh rank, but it seems to have broken the shackles of the sixth rank through some means.

So the question is, what was Zeus's purpose in creating this puppet? Was it merely as a defensive mechanism for the magic circle?
That defense is far too weak.

"That's not right either. Nowadays, it's very difficult for sorcerers to advance further after reaching the sixth rank. Besides the fact that it's inherently difficult to surpass one's limits, Zeus has also added shackles to the path to godhood, making it even more difficult to break through."

"This shackle not only applies to sorcerers, but to all things powerful, perhaps even the abyss..."

Ross probably knew what Zeuding was trying to do. The magic array that sealed him was like the Five Finger Mountain that suppressed the Great Sage. It couldn't be opened from the inside, but it could be easily opened from the outside. So he added many obstacles to prevent anyone from breaking the seal.

Perhaps the shackles added to the path to godhood are one such obstacle, but it's also possible that Zeus didn't want to see anyone continue advancing.

Ross shook his head secretly.

All I can say is that Zhou Ding is a petty person. After getting ashore, he wanted to kick the people behind him off the shore. Once he sat in that position, he didn't want to get off. He was too naive.

"Such a momentous event as the resurrection of the Supreme God, and you're not even going to personally intervene? Zeus Ding, it seems you've run into some serious trouble."

Ross pondered for a moment, then made his decision.

"Then let's destroy your puppet 'kin' and see if you have any other reaction."

With that in mind, Ross began to activate the entire underground magic array.

Meanwhile, the three people fighting the puppet were already locked in a fierce battle.

The creations of the gods are not so easily defeated.
