Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 120 It's time to bring in the system! The wrathful six-winged angel! (Two chapters combined, please subscribe)

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Thinking this, Lin Yi carefully separated a wisp of her consciousness and connected it with the divine rune chains attached to the spatial cage.

He did not probe his consciousness into the spatial cage.

Simply touching those divine runes.

He wanted to try and see if he could comprehend the profound meaning within the divine runes and find a way to retrieve the Elemental Staff.

It would be even better if one could further become the controller of this spatial prison.

Lin Yi knew this would definitely be very difficult.

It's certainly not something he can do now.

However, it's good to explore first, or at least be mentally prepared beforehand.

……

Soon, Lin Yi got what he "wanted".

As he expected, the information contained in the divine runes was as vast as an ocean.

His wisp of consciousness was crushed the moment it ventured inside.

"The gap is too big!"

"I need to at least advance to the level of a demigod and master the laws of space before I can possibly touch upon its mysteries."

"As for now, it would be pointless to pour all our spiritual power into it..."

Lin Yi thought to herself.

He took out a cup of holy water and drank it.

They quickly recovered the mental strength they had lost.

He then communicated with the system in his mind, asking, "System, do you have a way to retrieve the Elemental Staff without destroying the spatial cage?"

This is when the system should be activated.

After all, he couldn't possibly wait until he became a demigod before taking the Elemental Staff; by then, his mission would have been completed long ago.

A moment later, he received a reply from the system.

—【No problem, a dimensional teleportation will solve it. Dimensional teleportation doesn't even require opening a spatial rift, so there's no need to worry about them directly transmitting information to the outside world.】

"How many energy crystals are needed?"

Lin Yi knew what the system meant.

As long as you can afford it, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After all, it could repair the Sun Elf King's scepter, which was broken in two; it was just a matter of how much money it would cost.

— [Eight million energy crystals.]

"Acceptable!"

Lin Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Eight million energy crystals are no longer an astronomical number for him now.

This is equivalent to the harvest of the elven army in two or three days.

It might not even take that long to get it done.

Today he trained many more units and even created the Storm Legion. Combined with the dual-region operations at the Ruins and Lake Island strongholds, the gains are sure to be substantial.

It might even surpass the gains from the war with the Lizardman Kingdom.

"Speaking of which..."

Suddenly, Lin Yi thought of something and asked in her mind, "System, if they swear to join my territory, can you control these two guys?"

Whether their intentions are genuine or feigned, once they join the territory, they can no longer betray it.

Just like the Bone Dragon Sera and the Behemoth Zombie King now.

They were extremely loyal to him and his territory.

But whether it's the demon Bradley or the six-winged angel Philomia, they are both intermediate true gods, immortal deities.

Lin Yi was unsure whether this "rule" could restrain the gods.

—【Host, rest assured, even a supreme god wielding immense divine power cannot break the rules of this territory.】

"Now that you say that, I'm truly relieved!"

In an instant, Lin Yi's mind began to race.

Getting those two to swear an oath might be more difficult than exploring the mysteries of this spatial prison, but that doesn't stop him from trying to trick and deceive them—who knows, he might just succeed.

……

"Philomia".

Lin Yi turned her gaze to the six-winged angel at the mountain altar and said, "This elemental staff is indeed very helpful to me. What do you want?"

The six-winged angel Philomia said, "I want nothing. As long as you have the ability to take it from this spatial prison, then it is yours! This is a top-grade lower-level true artifact. If you reach the peak of demigod level, then possessing it will give you the qualification to fight against a lower-level true god!"

"A top-tier, lower-level true divine artifact?"

Lin Yi said with a smile, "In the Dark Continent, I'm afraid no one can resist such a temptation."

Just at this time.

The demon Bradley also took out a divine artifact.

It was a blood-red longsword, exuding an extremely terrifying aura of destruction and slaughter.

"Elf, this demon king will also give you a true divine artifact."

"Consider it a gift for our first meeting!"

Lin Yi's gaze immediately fell on the blood-red longsword, and he inexplicably felt an attraction to it. He said, "I didn't expect Your Highness, the Demon King, to be so generous on our first meeting!"

"You say this is strengthening our friendship," said the devil Bradley.

This pure-blooded demon, towering a thousand meters tall and emanating from molten lava, appeared extremely sincere, almost making Lin Yi believe him.

But whether it's the demon Bradley or the six-winged angel Philomia...

He doesn't trust anyone.

Whatever one has the ability to take, belongs to him.

What kind of gift is this for a first meeting...?

There's bound to be a pitfall!

Lin Yi knew that these two guys must have tampered with their artifact.

He speculated that it contained a means to contact the demon race and the angel race.

Once they are released from this spatial prison, the demon and angel races will receive the message. These two god-level races will then send people to attack them directly.

Then he won't need to break this spatial cage anymore.

Both the demon and angel races have many powerful individuals.

If this happens, he and his territory will be doomed.

Either the devil or the angel will kill him.

Who allowed Arthas, the Sun Elf King, to commit such an "evil deed," and who was also a Sun Elf?

However, even knowing the trap set for him by the demon Bradley and the six-winged angel Philomia, Lin Yi didn't expose it on the spot. Since the system could obtain these two artifacts, it could simply remove the trap.

When we tell them, their expressions will be priceless.

In addition, Lin Yi did not mention the oath.

Philomia and Bradley are both setting traps for him, so they definitely won't give him a second thought.

Moreover, they are all truly immortal gods who can easily produce divine artifacts... so why would they easily bow their heads to a mere Saint-level professional like him?

Therefore, this needs to be handled carefully.

First, let them be filled with anticipation and dreams for the future.

This once again turned their hopes into utter despair.

Having experienced such dramatic ups and downs, if another round of deception is arranged, their defenses might really crumble. At that point, he'd be rich if any one of them swore an oath to him.

"Gentlemen, I believe this will be a very good start."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "When I possess power comparable to Arthas, the Sun Elf King, I will definitely release you. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After he finished speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

When Lin Yi reappeared, he had already returned to the territory directly above.

This is spatial teleportation.

One of the abilities derived from the profound mysteries of spatial elements.

It is much more convenient than the [space travel passage] he created before.

Spatial teleportation belongs to folded space.

This requires a very good understanding of the spatial environment of the destination.

Otherwise, it's easy to cause problems when folding it.

It might teleport to another place.

As for spatial travel, it involves creating spatial channels similar to teleportation arrays.

The advantage of this method is that it allows for precise location transmission.

The downside is that it consumes more resources, and the farther the distance, the more difficult it is to create a spatial passage.

In comparison, teleportation is much simpler.

Therefore, professionals who master spatial abilities prefer to use folded space to achieve instantaneous travel rather than standing still and creating spatial passages to travel through.

The latter is often used when the spatial environment of the destination is unclear.

For example, Lin Yi didn't know what the underground space was like before. What if there was no underground space at all, and it was all soil or rock?

A spatial teleportation~

Wouldn't that just get stuck in the rock?

Space travel can solve this problem well, as it allows you to determine the environmental conditions of the target location in advance.

……

"System, will it cost double to transfer two divine artifacts?"

If the system says the price will double, then Lin Yi can only temporarily refuse the devil Bradley's "kindness".

After all, no matter how powerful a divine artifact is, it still needs divine power to support it.

Moreover, it was a divine artifact of the demon race.

Even if you get it, you'll most likely only be able to keep it as a collectible.

As for the elemental staff of the six-winged angel Philomia, it was of great help to him.

Exchanging eight million energy crystals is absolutely worthwhile. — [Host, rest assured, only eight million energy crystals are needed to teleport both artifacts out. If there are any factors detrimental to the host, the system will eliminate them free of charge.]

"System, what day is it today?"

"It's rare to see you so generous!"

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised.

He was fully aware of the nature of his system.

Sometimes you have to pay to ask even a simple question.

Not to mention doing things for him for free.

—Consider this an early celebration of the host's advancement to demigod.

Lin Yi immediately thought to herself, "Then how about this, you help me repair the Sun Elf King's scepter, as a way of celebrating my becoming an immortal god in advance."

A long time passed, but the system still did not reply to Lin Yi.

She clearly didn't want to talk to him.

……

Underground, inside a spatial cage.

The six-winged angel Philomia and the demon Bradley are communicating.

They were imprisoned here together for thousands of years. Their relationship, while not necessarily becoming very close, was certainly not as hostile as that between an angel and a demon.

Sometimes when we're bored, we'll chat with each other.

"The elf has left."

"Ha, Bradley, you're quite clever, you knew exactly what I was going to do. However, you might be disappointed, that elf probably won't dare accept your demon race's artifact," said the six-winged angel Philomia.

"It's alright."

The devil Bradley didn't seem to care.

Philomia glanced at the demon with suspicion, then said, "That elf is a bit cunning; I'm worried he won't fall for it easily."

The demon said mockingly, "Your worries are unnecessary. How could a mere Saint-level professional who is still comprehending the mysteries of the elements resist the temptation of a divine artifact?"

The six-winged angel Philomia said, "Even if he can't resist the temptation, he won't be able to take our artifact away in a short time. It seems we'll have to stay here for quite a while."

"unnecessary!"

The demon Bradley said, "He is a sun elf, wielding Arthas's scepter, and he also possesses the power of space. Spatial prisons that are difficult for others to break through will be greatly reduced for him."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"When he becomes a demigod and masters the laws of space, even if he can't truly open the spatial cage, he will be able to create a crack in it."

"He could have taken our artifact at that time as well."

"A demigod?"

The six-winged angel Philomia whispered, "Indeed, it won't take too long. He's a Saint-level professional now, and with the talent of the Sun Elf, he might be able to advance to the demigod realm within ten years."

ten years.

For these two, an angel and a demon, who had been imprisoned for thousands of years, it was a short period of time.

They could simply wait quietly.

Just then, a crimson light was struck into the elemental staff in front of Philomia.

Philomia narrowed her eyes and looked coldly at the thousand-meter-tall demon.

"Bradley, what are you doing?"

The demon said frankly, "I agree with what you said. That elf might not have the courage to accept my artifact. But your Elemental Staff is different. I can sense his strong desire for it."

"So I have to be prepared for both possibilities."

Philomia sneered, "Do you think I would agree?"

She could easily extinguish that bloody light.

"You must agree," said the demon Bradley. "or we're done. When that elf comes again, I'll tell him what you want to do."

Philomia's face turned ashen with anger.

This devil dared to threaten her!

The demon Bradley laughed and said, "You don't need to be angry. You would have done the same in your situation. Only when both sides send people can we escape safely together."

Upon hearing this...

Philomia could only suppress her anger.

She knew that if she refused, this devil would definitely cause trouble.

She said coldly, "One day I will personally cut off the Rock Demon's horn from your head!"

The demon Bradley grinned wildly, laughing maniacally, and said, "We were both suppressed and imprisoned by Arthas back then, but we never really fought. Once we're free, I'm ready to fight anytime!"

"This Demon King also wishes to experience the fighting prowess of your six-winged angel race!"

"You'll get your wish!"

Philomia's voice grew even colder.

Angels and demons are mortal enemies.

It's not just a conflict between factions, but a struggle between ethnic groups.

Thousands of years of shared hardship could not make them friends; they merely shared a common goal. Once they escaped their predicament, they would become mortal enemies again.

Regarding this point...

Both of them were very clear about it.

Therefore, when one side challenges another, the other side readily accepts without backing down.

During this challenge, none of them considered the issue of Lin Yi.

Because they all believed that a mere Saint-level professional could never defeat them.

They are only temporarily trapped here.

Wait until they go out.

Lin Yi, this tool, is no longer needed.

……

After returning to her territory, Lin Yi temporarily put aside the matter of the spatial prison.

It was still early.

He then went to Moon Lake and continued to meditate.

Previously, he mainly focused on comprehending the mysteries of the thunder element, because Moon Lake was filled with a large amount of thunder element essence, but he never expected to master the mysteries of the spatial element.

It really felt like an unexpected stroke of luck.

At this moment, he abandoned all other elements and focused on comprehending the element of thunder.

We hope to master it as soon as possible.

Time also flew by quickly during Lin Yi's meditation practice.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

Throughout the entire day, the elven army from the ruins did not return; the elves had already brought plenty of food and holy water.

If nothing unexpected happens.

They would hunt until around 3 a.m. before returning to the ruins.

The best time to hunt monsters and undead is between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m.

Because at this time, evil and dark forces are at their most concentrated.

Undead creatures will gather in large numbers.

The monsters will also leave their lair and become so ferocious that they will attack everything around them.

After 3 a.m., these monsters gradually calm down and flee back to their lair.

……

late at night.

Lin Yi has left Moon Lake and returned to the central square.

Perhaps due to insufficient elemental affinity, Lin Yi was unable to successfully comprehend the essence of the Thunder element.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

Today's harvest has been great enough.

Furthermore, he has also made great progress in comprehending the profound mysteries of the Thunder element.

I believe it won't be long before I'll be able to master it.

There was an open space at the entrance of the Temple of Gods. It wasn't very big, but it was enough for Lin Yi to use his special skills.

The specially designed barbecue grill is set up with glowing red charcoal burning underneath.

The grill was covered with the meat of various extraordinary magical beasts, all brought by the elves. There were also some green vegetables grown in the goblin kingdom, as well as mushrooms that the elves had gathered in the jungle.

It looks quite substantial.

Under Lin Yi's skillful handling, the aroma of the barbecue quickly became richer.

A group of little elves came to help. They were all round, but their tiny hands, which seemed to have grown out of nowhere, helped Lin Yi sprinkle seasonings on the skewers. Their cheerful appearance made Lin Yi laugh.

After all the ingredients were prepared, he lay down on the recliner by himself.

They were eating grilled skewers and drinking mead.

They admired the beautiful night view of the territory.

That's not without its own kind of enjoyment.

"If life could always be like this, it wouldn't be so bad."

"Unfortunately, even if I wanted to, there are people who don't want me to be happy."

Such a tranquil life cannot last long.

Once the demon's lair in the north shows signs of disturbance, his territory will be plunged into an endless and truly brutal war, and he will no longer be able to enjoy the ease and comfort he has now.

I don't know when~

A huge black shadow appeared in Lin Yi's field of vision.

It came from the distant horizon, moving at an extremely fast speed, and appeared in the sky above the territory in the blink of an eye.

It's the Bone Dragon Sera.

There were also a large number of elven mages and some flower fairies standing on its back.
