Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 340 - 323: Thank you! You returned my body!

"Mairrel’s consciousness had actually awakened..."

Eve felt a bit surprised as she sensed a certain change within her body.

Generally speaking, when the True God performed a Divine Descent using a believer’s body as the core, the believer’s soul and consciousness would voluntarily fall into slumber, relinquishing control of their body.

This was because a believer’s soul was quite weak compared to the True God. If they didn’t sleep, they might be assimilated by the True God’s powerful Divine Soul, eventually merging with it, losing their self, and completely becoming an avatar of the True God.

Even dragons were not exempt from this.

No matter how strong a dragon’s soul was, when facing the True God, it was still like a drop in the ocean.

If it didn’t put itself to sleep, then this drop would merge into the sea and completely disappear.

Therefore, when Eve performed the Divine Descent through Mairrel’s body, she had already submerged the Little Black Dragon’s consciousness into the deepest part of the sea of minds.

However, when Nidhogg penetrated Mairrel’s body and invaded the Little Black Dragon’s sea of minds, Mairrel’s soul unexpectedly resurrected.

Nidhogg’s invasion was within Eve’s expectations.

Sealed by the withering heart and deprived of most of her power, attempting to invade Mairrel’s spiritual world and forcibly seize control of the Little Black Dragon’s body was Nidhogg’s final choice and last chance.

Regarding this, Eve was also well-prepared.

Her Divine Soul had long hidden Mairrel’s soul in the deepest part of the sea of minds, protecting it firmly.

Yet, at the moment Nidhogg entered Mairrel’s body, Mairrel’s soul deep within her sea of minds unexpectedly awakened as if summoned by something.

This startled Eve.

Her Divine Soul was still within Mairrel’s body, and if Mairrel’s consciousness revived at this moment, she might inadvertently assimilate her soul and completely lose herself.

Even if she wasn’t assimilated by Eve, the invading Nidhogg might sense the soul’s fluctuation, locate Mairrel’s soul, and devour it.

*Understanding Nidhogg’s intention, Eve felt a slight heaviness in her heart.*

*At the same time, there was a tinge of doubt...*

*How did Nidhogg manage to do it?*

*She could awaken the Little Black Dragon’s soul that was protected layer by layer by Eve!*

Eve was indeed a True God who controlled life and had an exceptional understanding of laws related to the soul.

Under her command, even if the other party was an Ancient Black Dragon, or perhaps Mairrel’s father or grandfather, they couldn’t possibly bypass her and awaken Mairrel’s consciousness so effortlessly.

Moreover... Was she not worried that once Mairrel’s soul awakened, it would be assimilated by Eve?

Once Mairrel’s soul was assimilated by Eve, Mairrel’s body would truly become an avatar of Eve, and Nidhogg’s invasion would naturally fail.

In such a case, the best approach would have been to break through Eve’s layers of obstruction within Mairrel’s spiritual world, locate the sleeping soul directly, and devour it. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Of course, from Eve’s perspective, it was equally difficult for Nidhogg to achieve that.

After all, Eve wasn’t just a pushover; she was innately powerful.

Faced with a True God’s Divine Soul, albeit sealed in power, Eve was unable to conceive of how the opposing side could breach her blockade.

Yet what happened next truly caught her off guard.

In the instant Mairrel’s consciousness awakened, Eve noticed some inexplicable connection began to form between her and Nidhogg. The two started rapidly converging, with a tendency to merge into one...

This realization caused Eve’s heart to sink.

*Was Nidhogg attempting to consume Mairrel’s soul this way?*

*No... it was no longer consumption. It seemed both were about to become one soul, making it uncertain whether it was Mairrel or Nidhogg at that point!*

*What unsettled Eve even more was that she discovered Mairrel’s soul had no resistance to this, as if it was meant to be this way.*

Of course, Mairrel’s soul consciousness had revived, but it was in a very delicate state, still dazed and confused.

The true self of the Little Black Dragon hadn’t fully awakened yet; the soul consciousness acted purely on instinct...

*And this instinctual alignment towards Nidhogg’s soul surprised Eve the most.*

*This alignment felt like a river flowing into the sea, or like falling leaves returning to their roots...*

Eve suddenly realized that she might have misjudged something.

*One way or another... she couldn’t let her succeed!*

With that thought, Eve no longer hesitated, instead diving directly into her consciousness, submerging herself into Mairrel’s spiritual world as well.

The moment her consciousness stirred, her field of vision silently transformed.

Eve arrived in Mairrel’s spiritual world.

However, seeing the scene of Mairrel’s spiritual world clearly, she couldn’t help but feel a sharp jolt in her heart.

When she first performed the Divine Descent, she had already accessed Mairrel’s spiritual world.

The scene of the spiritual world was generally an embodiment of a creature’s emotions and subconscious.

Sometimes, it was a scene from a creature’s desires; other times, it was the thing they feared most; sometimes, it was an unconscious self-recognition of a creature...

At that moment, Eve distinctly remembered Mairrel’s spiritual world being a magnificent castle brimming with treasures and roasted meat, where Mairrel’s soul lay snoring on a giant bed of Gold Coins...

Clearly, that was the Little Black Dragon’s wish.

But at this very moment, Mairrel’s spiritual world had completely changed appearance.

It was no longer a magnificent castle, but a dilapidated forest.

A towering Yggdrasil supported the entire spiritual world.

This Yggdrasil was far more robust and towering than Eve’s actual self, precisely resembling the previous Yggdrasil at full strength in Eve’s heritage.

However, a large pit had been dug at the roots of Yggdrasil, exposing its vigorous and powerful roots.

Hanging from the crown of Yggdrasil was a giant cocoon of light, inside which was a curled-up, dazed figure.

It was Mairrel.

*What was happening? Why was there a Yggdrasil? How did Mairrel grow from it?*

Seeing this completely new spiritual world, Eve appeared utterly bewildered.

At that moment, Mairrel within the cocoon of light suddenly began to grow rapidly.

Her body gradually expanded, with scales gradually becoming dull and heavy, quickly transforming from a young dragon into a gigantic adult Black Dragon.

Seeing the appearance of that adult Black Dragon, Eve’s pupils contracted slightly.

She recognized it.

That appearance... was identical to Nidhogg!

Yet, its body shimmered with a natural radiance, with a pure and serene aura, far from matching the sinister dragon shadow in Eve’s memory.

Then, accompanied by a mad roar, another huge Black Dragon charged from the opposite direction.

It was Nidhogg, the true Nidhogg!

Her aura was sinister and chaotic, with emotions tinged with blatant greed and madness as her Divine Soul continually got eroded by the power spilling from Eve, aiming directly at the giant cocoon hanging from Yggdrasil.

"Hahaha! Yggdrasil! You can’t stop me! The moment I saw it, victory belonged to me!"

"Thank you for returning my body to me!"
