Mystery: The Stranger

Chapter 56 So-called Reputation

"Suniasolem!"

"I'll say it one last time, she's exhausted her wish limit, that's ten wishes!"

The Genie felt its intelligence had been severely insulted, especially by this attitude. In an instant, it recalled the most despicable and immoral deity, and no longer cared what the mind-stitched monster in front of it was. It was so angry that it directly called out the name of the "Elf King".

What it hates most is people trying to pull this trick on it!

This isn't just exploiting a loophole; it's blatant lying. If it were just the effect of one wish, not the combined power of ten wishes, how could the Judge's uniqueness possibly withstand the Great Prophecy and resurrect you, you bastard?

Are you going to refuse my wish?

The "Elf King" didn't argue with the genie. Instead, he used his authority as the judge to exempt Karen from the consequences she should have faced. He then communicated with the Celestial Venerable about the rules that had been in place when the sealing container was created. The rules stipulated that the genie could not refuse a user's wish. If a user's wish was too complicated or not simple and straightforward enough, the genie could refuse to grant it, but that didn't mean the genie could actually refuse a user's wish outright.

The genie cannot refuse a wish; this is a strict rule left by the Celestial Venerable within the wishing lamp.

When the "Elf King," who holds the power of the rules, mobilizes this power, the genie, no matter how unwilling, can only swallow this bitter pill and say, "State your wish."

puff~

The Earth Mother laughed rather bluntly.

As He watched Leodorus repeatedly ramming the brass pillar, growing angrier with each ramming, and the genie so enraged he wanted to strangle the Elf King, it was hard not to laugh.

The laughter was incredibly provocative. Enraged, Leodorus flew up and transformed into a bolt of lightning, a raging inferno, crashing down on the entire tortoise shell surrounded by brass pillars.

With a flick of his hand, the "Elf King" conjured up massive brass pillars that opened up a spherical, independent world. Behind him, the crimson moon showered down countless rays of moonlight that merged into the barrier's boundaries, making it more resilient and durable. Even amidst the continuous destruction of the Netherworld Purgatory, it was still able to protect the core, and the damaged areas were constantly being repaired.

This isn't because Leodoro's shot was wrong.

Simply because the Lord of Storms, who was forcibly downgraded by the balance authority, was numerically insufficient to break the Judge's mechanism.

The second path of Order is actually full of strange mechanisms; they don't go to jail at all and are very powerful.

When faced with a strange mechanism, either the numerical values ​​are completely destroyed, or the mechanism is even stranger; there is no third way to break through.

When the ancient sun god fought the Elf King, he was clearly tormented to the point of near death by the Elf King's combination of numerical values ​​(Storm) + mechanics (Judge), critical hit multiplier (Storm) + true damage reduction (Judge), ferocity (Ancient God) + sea area buff (Storm + Judge).

Now, the "Elf King" has lost the power of the storm, but the moon's uniqueness remains. Its sustain, recovery, and buffs are all running in the background. Until Leodorus's power reduction ends, he truly can't break the Elf King's shield; it will have to be slowly worn down...

Even if one or two more gods join the attack, it doesn't matter; the balance of power will still apply, and the strength will remain balanced.

Although the number of objects affected will increase and the duration of the effect will decrease, this is not important.

"I wish for a copy of the Hand of Order trait, the one that Thayer had."

The Elf King told the Genie his wish.

The genie was reluctant to grant the wish, but it was difficult to refuse according to the rules, so he could only grant the wish, shrink back the lamp, and disappear completely.

For anyone else to make such a wish, wanting a Sequence 1 trait, is basically overthinking it.

But the Elf King can. He now possesses the uniqueness of the Judge, the Genie is a superior ancient being on the Order side, and the aggregation effect is extremely powerful. As for Seyel, he was the strongest follower god before the Elf King, the God of Law with Black Emperor Sequence 1 + Judge Sequence 1, and also the only follower god of the Elf King who has fallen.

The reason for its fall was, of course, because it was too powerful. It attempted to become a god and had the hope of quickly becoming an ancient god on the side of order. Then it was targeted and fell very early on. But the God of Law had foreseen this outcome. Although the Black Emperor Sequence 1 was destroyed, the Judge Sequence 1 Hand of Order disappeared.

The God of Law had also prepared a contingency plan for resurrection, but the ancient sun god's great prophetic spell directly thwarted the resurrection of the gods.

If Thayer hadn't been suppressed, what would have happened to Solomon?

The reason why the Queen of Another World was able to be resurrected after falling from godhood is because she fell early and was resurrected early. At that time, the ancient sun god was not nearly as powerful.

Now, the "Elf King" has made a wish to summon himself from the Sequence 1 trait of the gods, and the result is, of course, without any suspense.

The lunar pathway has the authority to summon, whether it is nighttime or a full moon, and regardless of where the Hand of Order is located—whether in the astral realm, the spirit realm, or the physical world—it can be summoned.

Almost instantly, a clenched brass "fist" with distinct knuckles appeared in the crimson moonlight.

The "Elf King" recognized it at a glance; it was the hand of the God of Law. A trace of remembrance and sorrow flashed in his eyes.

"Stop Him!"

"Eternal Sun" Osekus, seeing how rapidly things were developing, clearly had no time to laugh at "Lord of the Storms".

The elves' foundation was still too deep. Previously, the six gods were busy working together to kill the Black Emperor, suppress the Fallen God, and overthrow the Solomon Empire. They only slightly neglected to relax their suppression, which allowed the other side to find a window of opportunity at the beginning of the establishment of the united empire. Then, the entire race went all in. Before the Storm Church could even spare the time to systematically launch a countermeasure, the elves directly exposed all their bases and, despite the Great Prophecy, resurrected the Elf King against all odds.

The key point is that the Elf King resurrected but didn't run away. If the fight continues at this leisurely pace, "Eternal Sun" will have to worry. The opponent made a few quick moves and directly regained the position of the ancient god without holding an ascension ceremony.

The fact that he didn't run away or hide immediately after being resurrected is quite strange in itself.

Let's get started.

"The Elf King has no affection for us."

"I don't think anyone wants to see the United Empire collapse on its very first day, with the Northern Continent falling apart once again, giving the Elf King the opportunity to build a powerful Elf Empire, seize the Judgement and the now-vacant Black Emperor Path, and unify the entire Northern Continent and the five great oceans."

"God of Knowledge and Wisdom" Herabergen looked at "Mother Earth," "God of War," and "Goddess of Night," reminding them that if the "Elven King" was allowed to ruin the United Empire, it would create an enormous space for the Elven King to grow. An Elven King who could encompass both the two paths of order, control the moon's uniqueness, and unify the entire Northern Continent and the five oceans would be terrifying without even imagining it.
