Chapter 57 Amon's Game
Chapter 57 Amon's Game
What's terrifying isn't just the Elf King himself, but the fact that if they split, it would revert to the state of the Solomon Empire, where they were systematically suppressed, divided, and co-opted, and forced to acknowledge Solomon's rule.
"But He is deliberately forcing us, forcing us to join forces. This is a common trick of the Elf King."
"God of War" Badhair was the one who didn't want to fight. He had witnessed the Elf King and the Giant King fight too many times and didn't want to fight the Elf King at all. Whether he won or lost, it would be very painful. There was no absolute victory when fighting the Elf King.
"Even if we don't attack first, He will attack the six of us first, so we might as well see what He wants to do."
The Earth Mother Goddess comforted her son for a while, then brandished a brownish-yellow wooden staff and joined forces with the Eternal Sun and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
The "God of War" had no choice but to accept that the "Mother Earth Goddess" was right. Even if they didn't make a move, the Elf King would still dare to unleash his ultimate attack on the six of them. Rather than lose face, they might as well fight directly. What if they could kill him? After all, the Elf King was not in his full form and was still in a weakened state.
The "Goddess of the Night" didn't say a word the whole time. Even though she had been robbed of the moon's uniqueness, aside from her previous attempts to reclaim it, she remained silent and made no suggestions, acting as if she were invisible. She simply followed the overall decision of the Six Gods and retreated to her original position.
In the real world, it certainly couldn't withstand such an attack. It would destroy the entire Backlund and a considerable area. The gods' battlefield had long since shifted, and the Astral Plane was a very good place. Apart from that, there weren't many better options. Next to Backlund, close to the island of Sonia, was the Sonia Sea. The gods didn't want to fight a god of the Order side in his former territory.
Karen Tamara was simply left in Backlund, in her original viewing spot, and no one paid her any attention.
Even though the two Grand Consuls, Tudor and Trensost, were still here, along with a host of dukes, Sauron, Einhorn, Augustus, and Castile, none of them made a move against the Sequence 5 masked elf. Many beings that had been hiding in the shadows revealed themselves after the gods left.
"Mr. Door" Bethel Abraham casually found a place to sit down, his star-like eyes watching everything happening in the astral plane.
The "blasphemer" Amon was a bit more lively. One of his avatars sat down next to Karen and struck up a conversation, which to some extent helped Karen avoid the pressure of the gathering of so many wise men and women. He asked with great interest:
"You guys really shouldn't be underestimated; you've managed to turn things around."
"That Elf King is leaving you here completely; does he not believe he'll ever lose?"
"Where does He get the confidence to fight against six gods with one God?"
Karen heard Amon's voice, turned to look at the young man wearing a monocle, opened her mouth but couldn't say anything, her eyes were full of blank, confused thoughts, as if she should be overjoyed by the king's resurrection, but it was as if a stone in her heart could not be put down for a long time.
After all, it's not the Second Age anymore. The elves of the Second Age dared to say to anyone who asked that the Lord of Storms was a false faith and that the power of the storms belonged to the elves. But the elves of the Fourth Age had been dormant for an entire Glorious Age, and had lost that deep-seated conviction. They still longed for the revival of the elves, and were terrified that this expectation would suddenly be shattered like a beautiful dream.
"Haha, you don't need to worry so much. That's someone my father is quite 'concerned' about."
Karen's actions amused Amon, who looked up at the sky with anticipation. After all, he had never seen the Elf King, who had died long before he was born. However, he could sense that the ancient sun god's attitude towards the elves was different.
For example, all five dragons, who were defeated along the same path, had their wings bound, but the elves managed to defend the ancient elf island.
For example, they are all pan-human beings. The giants are also protected by the gods of war and the earth mother. There are still a huge number of giants wearing shackles to serve and work, building huge temples and palaces for the ancient sun god in various places.
If we say that vampires have simply been 'ignored' for a long time...
So the elves are like this: on one hand, they 'ignore' them, and on the other hand, they 'invisibly suppress' them. They don't actively carry out the cleansing of the elves, but at the same time, they block the elves' path to return to their peak time and time again.
Amon actually has a considerable understanding of human nature, after all, He is very interested in interesting things.
Moreover, the fact that his brother was still normal before he developed paranoia also provided Amon with a lot of reference.
Throughout the entire Glorious Era, spanning a full millennium, as a born Angel King, he had no anxiety about survival. His main daily activity was, of course, to find all sorts of interesting things to learn about, and the history of the Second Era was a particularly worthwhile part to understand.
I was already tired of hearing the myths about the ancient sun god saving humanity and defeating the ancient gods, and I had lost interest in them. In addition, as the second-generation creator, after Amon was born, Amon was already in a state where divinity completely suppressed humanity.
This made Amon, who was also born a mythical creature, wonder many times whether his father had any humanity.
Those human emotions... those things that are the same as those of ordinary people...
For a long time, this was a game that Amon loved very much, and it was also the initial impetus for him to ponder human nature.
Trying to figure out the thoughts of his great and sacred father was a game that Amon found exciting and enjoyable.
After observing for a long time, and considering that the angel kings who followed the ancient sun god were all firsthand witnesses to many events.
Amon gradually figured some things out.
As for the vampires, the father's attitude was that he didn't care and it wasn't a big deal.
Dragons, giants, phoenixes, demons—these are all the defeated.
The demon king, in order to escape his father, slaughtered his entire family.
Phoenixes... After the fall of the phoenix progenitor, many of them hid in the underworld and never came out again.
Dragons and giants were the two leading superhuman races in the Second Era, the Non-Human Alliance and the Pan-Human Alliance.
Crushing these two races underfoot would be an excellent way to break the old beliefs and usher in a new era, but the ancient sun god still adopted the same attitude towards the defeated races.
The elves... that's what interests Amon the most.
In his debut battle, the first ancient god that the ancient sun god killed was the Elf King.
However, Amon had a strange feeling that his father's attitude toward the elves was not entirely that of a defeated race.
