"Great Lord of the Universe, your humblest believer begs Your merciful power to unleash a chilling blast of wrath, freezing these wicked demons to death."
The Snow Elf Atiya knelt on the ground in the most devout posture, cut her blood-stained arm, and dripped drops of blood, along with her tears Ice Essence, onto her shadow.
Blood is the medium connecting one to the Lord of the Universe. If he could summon the Lord of the Universe to descend, he would rather have all his blood drained away.
His once magnificent and pristine armor was now gone, replaced only by a tattered and disheveled strip of clothing draped over his body.
Beneath the shattered armor, one could see layers of scabbed wounds that had been torn open again; one couldn't imagine what kind of brutal war had left behind such a dense network of wounds.
Although his level three strength was enough to stop his wounds and prevent him from bleeding to death, the weakening effect of his serious injuries meant that his combat power was now less than 40% of his peak.
Not far from Atiya lies the point where the two worlds meet. The enormous torn space constantly changes as it heals and tears apart, allowing this spatial passage, several miles long, to exist perfectly without the need for external support.
Countless Snow Elf and demons from the Black Domain World clashed here, with countless lives falling every instant.
Terror, screams, roars, anger, blood, and flames became the main themes of war. Countless souls wailed, denouncing the cruelty of war, but the troops behind had no choice but to continue fighting, stepping over the corpses in front.
But upon closer inspection, one can see that nine-tenths of those who fell were Snow Elf; only a few demons from the Black Domain World were overwhelmed and killed by the Snow Elf after being surrounded.
The Snow Elf at the rear of the battlefield, who had not yet stepped into the meat grinder, all looked pale with fear. This was ten times more brutal than any war they had ever seen before; it was a scene that could only exist in the nightmares of battle-hardened veterans.
Previously, the fighting took place on vast fronts, so the intensity of combat per unit area was not very high.
But now, the armies of the two worlds are locked in a fierce battle along a spatial passage several miles long, with no room for maneuver. A ten-thousand-strong army charging forward would fall in just a dozen breaths. This kind of war is practically a line-up to their deaths!!!
They were originally led by their legendary patriarch, filled with the belief of certain victory, and were determined to end the demons that had invaded them for a thousand years in one battle. They even wanted to spread the flames of war to the Black Domain World.
But unexpectedly, just when everything was going smoothly for them and the battle line had been pushed to the spatial rift, a gigantic demon over two hundred meters tall suddenly descended...
At the same time, a terror they had never seen before descended—an aura of despair they had never experienced before, a tremor that made them unable to even hold their longswords.
With just a gentle sweep of his arm, hundreds of thousands of Snow Elf troops perished in the flames.
With another swing, another sea of fire descended.
The two attacks completely shattered the Snow Elf' courage to counterattack and destroyed the Snow Elf' will to protect the world.
Without the need for terrifying demons to intervene, the Snow Elf army of over five million completely collapsed...
Every Snow Elf knows that the terrifying giant demon is a god of the Black Domain World, an existence that mortals can never defeat.
They could drive all the invading demons from the Snowfield World back to the Black Domain World, but they couldn't stop the arrival of the God of Demons...
They achieved their best victory in a thousand years, but were completely wiped out by the two attacks of the God of Demons!!
If it weren't for the 100,000 Gulu Beast that were resting around Atiya and the unmanned intelligent mechs that immediately charged forward to block the gap in the spatial passage,
The Snow Elf, having reclaimed the lost territory at great cost, are about to have it snatched back by the demons of the Black Domain World.
While the Gulu Beast army and the unmanned intelligent mechs were desperately holding the spatial rift, Atiya, relying on the prestige of the clan leader, even led the charge to the front lines and fought continuously for several days and nights, finally managing to reunite the collapsing legion.
The battle was briefly held; all the demons were kept at bay on the other side of the spatial passage.
But Atiya knew that, faced with a demon army whose morale was even higher, the Snow Elf army, which he had regrouped through harsh and high-pressure methods... was only a matter of time before it collapsed again.
The moment the Gulu Beast Legion, which they acquired in exchange for the Great Lord of the Universe, suffers more than half its casualties and is unable to seal the gap in the spatial passage, that will be the moment of their defeat.
Atiya had thought that with the combined strength of his hundreds of thousands of Gulu Beast Legion and Snow Elf Army, he could easily defeat the demon army. However, the appearance of the God of Demons completely disrupted his plans.
He couldn't understand why the gods of the Black Domain World would intervene, when their own gods hadn't appeared for millennia and were simply watching coldly as countless Snow Elf died on the battlefield.
He wanted to curse his god, to curse him for not loving his people, to curse him for not helping his people...
Such a god is unworthy to be their god!!
Now all hope can only be placed in the supplication of the greatest Lord of the Universe, for only he can help us.
"A god has appeared in the Black Domain World. I can help you defeat him, kill all the demons, and even bring the Black Domain World under your control. But you know, everything must be based on the principle of fair exchange. What are you willing to give in exchange for all this?"
The voice of the Lord of the Universe entered his mind, instantly invigorating Atiya, who was weeping bitterly. As long as the great Lord of the Universe helped him, no difficulty was insurmountable.
"I can give everything—my body, my soul, everything I have." Atiya seemed to have grasped at the last straw, desperately stating his price.
The piercing screams of his kin before their deaths tormented his nerves; he was willing to give anything to win the war.
"That's not enough. You're just a level three Snow Elf. Do you really think a level three life form can rival an entire world?"
What price do I have to pay for you to help me?
"To conquer a world, you must give up a world; that's absolutely fair."
The voice of the Lord of the Universe resounded, a heavy voice that seemed to pull Atilla away from the fierce battlefield.
His eyes went completely glazed over. He understood what the Lord of the Universe meant: if they wanted to conquer the Black Domain World, the only thing they could sacrifice was their Snow Elf Snowfield World.
But without the Snowfield World, do the Snow Elf still have a reason to exist?
The sounds of battle around Atiya were once again pulled from her reverie. She looked at the Snow Elf falling in droves at the demons' feet, at her people dying in agony, and at the new warriors driven mad by the brutal battlefield.
They deserved better lives, instead of sacrificing their precious lives on this brutal battlefield.
Atiya closed his eyes in anguish, his lips parted as if weighed a ton. He knew that if he spoke the next words, the future of the Snowfield World would be out of the Snow Elf ' hands.
Will your rule be as brutal as the Black Domain World?
"What are you thinking? You are too weak to be worthy of my rule. I only need you to provide some resources. After the war, I will send a portion of the Gulu Beast army and intelligent mechs to the Snowfield World to find some resources that I can use. At the same time, I will also help you transform the Black Domain World, so that you can live and develop in two worlds."
"Permanent peace, a better life, freedom from invasion and bullying by other worlds, and the opportunity to interact equally with other races—this is my promise to you."
Is this true?
Atiya opened her eyes in disbelief. This wasn't domination; it was practically a freebie for the Snow Elf.
If that were the case, he would have simply requested the Lord of the Universe to descend upon him from the beginning. What did his long period of enduring hardship and biding his time matter? What did the deaths of so many of his people matter?
"Lower life forms should not presume to understand the worldview of higher-dimensional life forms. What I want is not to destroy you, but to enable you to live a better life."
"I agree to offer my world to your rule, and I implore the great Lord of the Universe to descend and help us slay all the demons of the Black Domain World."
What do I need to do?
"Simple, empty your body, no need to put up any resistance."
Atiya instantly felt a terrifying suction force beneath his feet, and all his magical energy rapidly flowed towards the shadows below.
It only takes a few minutes to completely absorb all the energy in the body. Atiya quickly opened his body, absorbing the influx of external energy.
He then took out all the energy crystals he was carrying to ensure a sufficient supply of energy!
Only after doing all this could Atiya barely maintain the level of his magical power. He looked at his shadow, which had become distorted after the energy flowed in, as if about to form a black vortex...
A terrifying energy slowly emanated from the black vortex forming in the shadows, as if an ancient behemoth, dormant for countless years, had awakened and opened its bloodthirsty eyes to survey the Snowfield World.
As Atiya was closest to the black vortex, the moment she was enveloped by the terrifying aura, her entire body turned ice-cold—a suffocating coldness that emanated from the depths of her soul.
He seemed to have forgotten how to breathe, forgotten how to turn his gaze, leaving only the most primal instinct when facing a terrifying life form: his teeth chattering uncontrollably!
He had sensed that kind of aura before.
It was the exact same terror as when the God of Demons of the Black Domain World appeared just now.
This is the aura of the gods.
However, the aura emanating from the shadows was far more powerful and terrifying!
"Hehehe, little fellow, how can you be so timid? You are a life chosen by the great Lord of the Universe. Summon your courage, pick up your sword. Your life has just begun. Under the protection of the great Lord of the Universe, you may very well become a god in the future."
A strange laugh, accompanied by a terrifying aura, emanated from the still-forming black vortex. Atiya Atiya already even more frightened, felt a slight improvement in his expression when he heard the voice mention the Lord of the Universe.
He was genuinely afraid.
Even though the Lord of the Universe has never displayed any cruel methods, as a being of a higher level than them, if someone really wanted to do something to him, he would be helpless.
His promise to the Lord of the Universe to sacrifice his world to defeat the Black Domain World was a high-stakes gamble, akin to walking a tightrope.
He had no idea whether the Lord of the Universe could really do what he just said; perhaps he was even more evil than the demons of the Black Domain World.
