The remains of the Bloody Emperor's soul slowly dissipated.
His contract with Saydis had been fulfilled.
But Marvin had a faint feeling that the Bloody Emperor's soul knew what was waiting for him in the Extreme Evil Hell.
That man was second only to the Night Monarch in the opinion of the High Elven Queen.
This kind of man, even just his soul remnants, couldn't be underestimated.
After clearing up his thoughts, Marvin and Butterfly left the Night Monarch's Underground Palace.
Ever since he found out about Butterfly's true identity, Marvin had been very curious about her level of strength.
He probed Butterfly about what she thought of the Fate Tablet's descent.
But unexpectedly, she seemed to be completely uninterested.
She only indifferently told him, "The Fate Tablet is a very important item, but that depends on who uses it. If you get it, you might shine, but for me, that thing has no use."
"As for world peace, I have no interest in working toward it. In fact, I couldn't do so even if I wanted to. This Universe is much more complicated than you imagine."
"Many things, once triggered, are very difficult to settle. All we can do is stand firm like a reef against the fierce waves caused by a storm. You are undoubtedly asking for trouble if you try to stop the storm itself."
Marvin understood Butterfly's meaning.
After a millennium of order, Feinan suddenly sank into chaos.
Regardless of who started this chaotic storm, it would be impossible to suppress it in a short time.
The Fate Tablet was only a fuse. Even without it appearing, there would have been other things to ignite the flames of this already embroiled Universe.
People always fought.
Even if they themselves didn't know the reason for fighting.
This was the real disaster.
That seed was a seed of a World Tree. After obtaining it, Butterfly decided to head east.
She would go on the path of finding the distant Sanctuary.
Back when the High Elves migrated far to the east, Butterfly didn't go. She was the first High Elven Queen, but not the last one.
Even if she was, she had no way to find the location of the High Elves' Sanctuary.
Thus, she needed to use this World Tree Seed to locate it.
As she put it, that world was bound to sink thoroughly into chaos, and no race could stay out of it.
Whether it was the Gnomes, the Elves, the waning Dwarves, or even the Humans who ruled the continent for many years, they were all creatures of Feinan, and they sank into an unprecedentedly large, chaotic war.
The so-called High Elves' Sanctuary should be reaching its limits.
Butterfly was getting ready to lead them back to Feinan.
This was a serious piece of news to Marvin.
Although he already knew the High Elves would return, he hadn't expected it to be so quick. And Marvin was skeptical as to whether their current leader would be willing to follow Butterfly's command.
After all, with the aura that Butterfly gave off around Marvin, it would be very difficult to convince others of her identity.
If the High Elves, the Ancient Gnomes, and the other races returned one after the other, Feinan might become even more chaotic. But the good news was that mankind and the Wood Elves wouldn't have to be the only guardians anymore.
The High Elves and the Ancient Gnomes had extraordinary strength, and most of them were also enemies of the Gods.
It wasn't without reason that they still held a spot in that fading history.
All in all, this should be considered good news.
After splitting up from Butterfly, Marvin took a trip to the depths of Thousand Leaves Forest.
Ivan was now officially the ruler of Thousand Leaves Forest, but since Marvin had specially come to pay a visit, he rearranged his schedule to receive Marvin.
They met in that mysterious lake in the depths of Thousand Leaves Forest once again.
Marvin had come here before. Great Elven King Nicholas had been wounded and lying in the lake.
This time, he met Great Elven King Ivan.
The difference was that there was someone at Ivan's side.
The Sea Elven Queen.
She was holding Ivan's arm with a smile, and the two looked rather intimate.
Seeing this scene, the corner of Marvin's mouth couldn't help twitching imperceptibly.
He could see the awkward smile on Ivan's face.
Fortunately, after they exchanged a few words, the Sea Elven Queen left.
Only Ivan and Marvin remained by the lakeside.
Marvin looked at Ivan's handsome face and couldn't help asking, "So, you found out that you actually like women?"
Ivan had a very unpleasant expression on his face, as if he was too embarrassed to mention something.
Marvin seemed to understand something and his eyes widened, "That date…"
"Did you do something?!" The newly-crowned Great Elven King angrily punched Marvin's abdomen, dropping all pretenses of his position as a lofty ruler, and almost made Marvin spit out blood!
The Elven War Saint was very powerful!
"Cough, cough… It was only a date. She didn't do anything to you, right?" Marvin covered his abdomen while squeezing out a hollow laugh.
Speaking of that, the Sea Elven Queen had always seemed devoted to Ivan, but Ivan didn't appreciate it at all. Last time, Marvin needed the help of the Sea Elven Queen to face Dark Phoenix, so he sold Ivan out.
But he only thought it was a date. How did it end up changing their fates?
For some reason, Ivan's reaction wasn't too good.
Marvin displayed a shocked expression as he pressed further. "What happened in the end?"
Ivan angrily let out while grinding his teeth:
"She, forcibly, violated, me!"
Marvin was dumbstruck.
The next second, another punch flew over, and Marvin had to use his Post-Godly Dexterity to dodge it.
"Damnit! You are the Elven War Saint! How could that happen against your will?!" Marvin was confused. 'There is no way, right?'
But Ivan suddenly seemed extremely dispirited as he tearfully said, "I can't beat her…"
Marvin was shocked.
But thinking about it, Ivan was indeed very strong, but the Sea Elven Queen was a lot older, and the Elven War Saint class didn't seem to have the advantage against a Sea Elven Admiral.
It shouldn't be that surprising that he wasn't able to prevail.
As for how the date was set up in the end, Ivan didn't care to share.
And the pressure on Thousand Leaves Forest during these chaotic times was too great, so the pitiful freshly ascended Great Elven King bit the bullet and accepted the marriage proposal of the Sea Elven Queen.
Their wedding would be held in the near future.
This was also why there were a lot of Sea Elven Mages in Thousand Leaves Forest.
Marvin felt sympathetic toward Ivan, while also shivering.
He once again thought to himself that there were too many fierce women in this era!
He suddenly recalled Wayne's "dream" from back then and couldn't help shivering.
It could be said that the Sea Elven Queen hadn't given Ivan any time to rest in her pursuit of a child...
Anyways, Thousand Leaves Forest was close to the Three Ring Towers, so they faced more pressure from the Wizard Monsters.
Ivan led the Elven Iron Guard on expeditions outside the forest every day to exterminate the Wizard Monsters, and after coming back, he would be drained by the Sea Elven Queen. It all sounded very exhausting.
'No wonder he looks a lot thinner,' Marvin snickered in his head.
This was the Elven War Saint. If it was any other common Wood Elf, he would have grown into a true man by now… or fallen into depravity.
