Elf Queen

Outside the Ritual Plaza, where the sound of prayers rose and fell like waves, Hermes watched the true miracle unfold while standing alongside the young boy who had just been delivered to him.

They saw the dreamlike Angel Wings and the back of a figure stepping upward upon the storms and thunder.

He held the Book of Dreams, the Robe of the Sage snapping in the gale. With a gentle swipe of his gloved Right Hand, the very space seemed to be torn asunder.

"Is this an angel?!"

"Yes, he is a true angel."

Truman stepped upon the storm, walking above the tidal surges, and caught sight of the Queen of Calamities hidden within the lightning.

"Your Highness Goshenam, I did not expect our first meeting to be under such circumstances." Truman ignored the lightning wreathing his body and offered a greeting.

"War! That is your choice!" The Queen of Calamities looked at Truman with indifference; the storm grew more violent, and the thunder intensified.

That was not entirely wrong... The Giant Race had proposed an alliance, and Truman and Sasrir were intentionally driving the tides of history.

The Elf race would naturally not wait for the opposing sides to reach a true consensus, which was why this war had begun.

"Yes," Truman did not deny it, "it is time for the Elves to exit the stage."

Truman's words made Goshenam even colder. She raised her hand to seize a bolt of lightning, using it as a spear to hurl at him.

Rumble!

The thunderstorm grew increasingly exaggerated, gradually threatening to engulf Truman.

However, Truman was not panicked. He reached his Right Hand into the Fog of History and dragged out a familiar figure.

This Historical Projection had long, fluffy, deep-blue hair like seaweed and carried Angel Wings on his back, the flapping of which stirred wind and thunder.

The Wind Angel, Leodero!

Truman and Leodero had been colleagues for hundreds of years; dragging him out of history was as simple as could be.

The moment Leodero appeared, the entire sea fell silent. The raging tsunami waves, hundreds of meters high, seemed to freeze in mid-air.

The Queen of Calamities frowned upon seeing Leodero's arrival. She could not guarantee that her control over natural disasters would surpass his!

"Hmph, a mere Historical Projection." The Queen of Calamities did not lose her momentum. With a wave of her hand, the tide continued to advance, and the wind and thunder condensed at an incredible speed.

"Stop!"

Truman gave a light shout, and Leodero extended both hands to lock horns with the Queen of Calamities.

Storm against storm, thunder against thunder; even the Beyonder Creatures in the ocean split into two camps, slaughtering each other madly.

Truman, on the outer perimeter, did not remain idle and struck directly at the Queen of Calamities' Spirit Body Thread!

The Queen of Calamities' figure stiffened, her thoughts becoming mechanical as she retreated step by step under Leodero's onslaught.

"Get back!" Seeing herself in danger and unable to suppress the Historical Projection of Leodero in such a short time, the Queen of Calamities let out an angry roar.

This roar was like the wrath of heaven, crushing Leodero's Historical Projection directly through the sheer superiority of her Sequence Status, causing it to collapse instantly.

Truman felt a jolt in his heart just facing that pressure, as if he had returned to the Giant King's Court and heard the roar of the Elf King; his control over the Spirit Body Thread was severed instantly.

It was the "Singing" of the Storm Pathway Sequence 5 Sea God Singer, but for a "song" to affect Truman, it was clearly no simple matter.

"The power of the Elf King?" Truman understood in his heart; it was only natural for the Elf Queen to have the favor of the Elf King, wasn't it?

"I hope the next theft goes smoothly!" Truman gripped his Right Hand into a void, held it before his lips, and made a wish.

Then, he satisfied himself.

Truman reached out and snatched at the void. His luck became sufficiently good, and the theft of the "Trojan Horse of Destiny" was powerful enough to steal a "Tsunami" directly from Goshenam.

The combination of the Gou Three Families' abilities was truly powerful!

Endless storms seemed to flash through Truman's eyes. With a thought, the vast tidal waves retreated a thousand meters.

Goshenam sensed something was wrong the moment Truman reached out, but "Theft" was difficult to defend against, and her ability was stolen away.

"Lightning Storm!" Goshenam made the most correct choice, riding the infinite lightning storm to crush him!

At sea, the bonuses gained from the Storm Pathway were too powerful. The scorching white lightning forced Truman to rely solely on teleportation to dodge.

He did not even dare to turn into a stream of information; the storm stirred up by the lightning could destroy his information body.

But soon, he launched a counterattack, directly manipulating the towering waves to roll toward Goshenam!

Yet, as Goshenam's majestic eyes looked down, the entire ocean calmed, returning to her control.

This was the authority of the sea, more effective than a single ability like "Tsunami."

Truman's mouth twitched. He even had the illusion that he was overestimating his own strength by challenging the Elf King!

Goshenam shared the authority of the Elf King!

The towering waves surged again. Left with no choice, Truman had to adopt a defensive stance. He held his hand horizontally before him, and as "Space Barrier" was activated, a space wall hundreds of meters high and thousands of meters long rose up.

Rumble!

Silver lightning snakes attacked again, BOOM, striking the Space Barrier. The terrifying aura of destruction threatened to pierce through space itself.

Bang!

The endless waves crashed into the Space Barrier. Truman's figure shuddered, and he lost control over the space.

He teleported away immediately. The speed of the waves had accelerated to a terrifying degree in a short time; the accumulated power was something even space could not block.

The Space Barrier was declared shattered, and the waves were unstoppable!

A Ragdoll wrapped in thorns soon appeared in Truman's hand, its eerie eyes staring straight at Goshenam.

A power of curse spread and transmitted. In an instant, Goshenam's state deteriorated sharply; her figure became illusory, constantly shifting between the forms of a rabbit and an elf.

Beyond that, various other curses took effect. The seawater Goshenam controlled even showed signs of resisting her.

This was all that remained of the Sequence 1 God Almighty's Sin, which Truman had crafted into a Mystical Item.

Yet, this Sequence 1 status item was of little use against Goshenam. The curses landed on her but failed to turn her into a harmless little white rabbit.

Scorching lightning flashed, shattering all the curses.

"Not enough status?" Truman had not expected this, but he soon understood and put the Ragdoll away.

Goshenam's own status remained Sequence 2, an angel-level rank that Truman could easily defeat.

However, she possessed too many blessings and gifts from the Elf King; the authority she wielded was even more exaggerated than that of a Sequence 1!

Truman was no longer fighting the Queen of Calamities; he was fighting the Elf Queen.

His major skills seemed unable to cope with this.

He did not even dare to use "Theft" anymore.

He dared not steal the blessings and abilities coming from the Elf King. Such things were blessings to Goshenam, but to him, they were absolute curses that would invite a bolt of lightning from the furious Elf King.

And the Leodero dragged out from the Fog of History could not withstand the pressure of a superior being, collapsing at the slightest touch.
