"Your Majesty, the Queen of the Elf Kingdom has mastered the power of shadows, her strength is no less than Bruce's."
Kamon saw that Lin Tian was somewhat displeased and explained.
Such an existence still needed to be taken care of.
Who told them they were all oppressed by the gods.
Upon hearing this.
Lin Tian was somewhat surprised, "Then we really need to give them some face."
He then took out the magic stone seized from the Dwarf King, which could connect to the magic array at the bunker entrance.
On the open ground outside the bunker.
Stood a graceful figure in emerald green.
Snow-white skin, as alluring as precious jade.
"Is there something you need?"
Lin Tian immediately inquired.
Rita was completely stunned and hurriedly bowed in response, "Your Majesty the Dwarf King, I represent our Queen's request, I've come to discuss a major matter with you, one that concerns our survival."
"A major matter? Just speak directly, no need to beat around the bush."
Lin Tian said indifferently.
He was now wearing the Gangu armor, so his appearance couldn't be seen.
So Rita directly assumed he was the Dwarf King Bruce.
Rita hesitated, her expression grave.
She hadn't expected Lin Tian to be so straightforward, the possibility of forming an alliance was probably zero.
But she had to try, "We've scouted that many countries led by the Great Strength God Empire have already formed an alliance, they're attacking a goblin force from the wasteland, but that's not important.
What's important is that once they unite, they'll launch a crusade against us and threaten your safety too, so Her Majesty the Queen has decided to also form an alliance and absolutely not sit idle waiting for death!"
"What? The nations have joined forces!"
"Those greedy bastards, now the Divine Continent is going to change!"
"The various divine courts behind them joining forces is a very serious problem, we absolutely cannot wade into these muddy waters!"
"That makes sense, as long as the bunker exists we'll be safe, an alliance would easily expose the bunker's location!"
A group of dwarves discussed among themselves, the atmosphere becoming tense and oppressive.
After all, the problem involved was too serious.
If the dwarves sent out to help the Elf Kingdom were captured and then interrogated, the bunker's location would be exposed.
Although the Elf Kingdom's Queen and Rita also knew the location, both sides had signed a contract and wouldn't betray each other.
Rita listened to the whispering discussions of the dwarves.
A trace of dejection appeared on her beautiful face.
If even the dwarves wouldn't agree, then the Elf Kingdom would have to fight to the death.
Because she had communicated with Satan before coming, Satan indicated he was also powerless.
After all, he hadn't even recovered his body yet, only having a remnant soul dwelling in his heart.
In that great battle, thanks to Dante protecting the heart, otherwise Satan would never have had a chance of resurrection.
Suddenly, Rita's expression changed, tears welling in her eyes as she knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty the Dwarf King, I truly beg you to help us! We don't want to experience again those days of being enslaved, controlled at will by humans, other demon sub-humans, and even gods!"
"If that's not possible, lending us one or two god-slaying level weapons or magical tools would be fine!"
"Please, I'm willing to pay any price for this! I'll do anything!"
Rita kept her head down, her voice firm and resolute.
Tears fell drop by drop from her face onto the earth.
She didn't want the Elf Queen to bear everything alone, so she planned to do this.
She had to share some burden and contribute her part.
Hearing this.
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Such determination? Then I'll agree to help you, come in and we'll talk more."
He hadn't planned to refuse from the beginning.
After all, from a goblin's perspective, having a few allies wasn't bad either.
He just hadn't expected the other party to play their trump card right away.
"What? You agreed?"
Rita stood up in surprise, her sorrowful face clearly showing disbelief!
She had communicated many times before, but the dwarf clan had never planned to join forces.
Now, they agreed so quickly!
"Rumble..."
The bunker opened a small door.
Rita rushed in excitedly with an agitated heart, this was also her first time entering the bunker.
After walking just a few steps, she saw Lin Tian approaching.
"Respected Your Majesty the Dwarf King, I... I first represent the Elf Kingdom in paying you the highest respect!"
Rita's tall figure bent lower than Lin Tian despite her height.
She then extended her slender hand, tore off a leaf from her skirt and infused it with magic power.
She presented it to Lin Tian saying, "The spirit of nature will forever bless you, with this leaf you can freely enter and exit the Elf Kingdom."
"Ah?!"
"My god, this is unimaginably wonderful! If there are romantic encounters, haha!"
"Free access to a kingdom full of top beauties, this is no different from free access to heaven!"
The surrounding dwarves said with great envy.
Lin Tian didn't stand on ceremony and slowly accepted it, "I can agree to the alliance matter, but before that, tell me about the Elf Kingdom's development history and that shadow power."
"We'll talk as we walk."
The reason he asked this was to inquire about Leah's family situation.
And that mysterious shadow power.
Asking directly about Leah's family, who knows if the other party would tell the truth or lies.
Anyway, whenever Leah mentioned that matter, she became very dejected.
It definitely wasn't anything good.
Rita quickly nodded, "No problem!"
She then told everything about the Elf Kingdom, including that mysterious and powerful shadow power.
"Shadow power grants its possessor the ability to become a shadow, undetectable by anyone, but the strongest ability is becoming someone else's shadow, gaining 80% of their abilities while retaining and stacking one's own abilities."
Rita explained.
Since they were forming an alliance, there was no need to hide these things.
Hearing this, Lin Tian was somewhat surprised, "Then couldn't one become a God King's shadow? We could easily eliminate those guys from the Great Strength God Empire, why bother with an alliance."
80% of the power.
At worst, it would still be at the level of a main god, those guys like Heracles would be easy to handle.
But Rita shook her head, "Her Majesty the Queen cannot fully master the shadow power, at most she can only obtain 30% of the opponent's strength."
"Didn't you say 80%?"
Lin Tian said irritably, those words were just playing around.
Rita explained apologetically, "That was the level the first Shadow Elf could achieve, it's said that those who fully master it can even obtain 100% of the opponent's power and become the Shadow King!"
100%!
Plus one's own power!
Lin Tian was shocked by this, why were the abilities he encountered later becoming more and more abnormal!
If that were the case, he would become stronger when facing stronger opponents, forever being the strongest existence.
"Although shadow power is good, it's listed as forbidden in the Elf Kingdom, because while gaining power, one's own shadow will develop consciousness, devour life, and become a new entity, which would be a terrible existence."
Rita continued, thinking of the Elf Queen's situation made her even sadder.
The reason her life was running short was exactly this.
It was all being taken away by her own shadow.
Lin Tian frowned again, "This shadow power seems very dangerous."
He had planned to get it for his own use, but now just thinking about it gave him goosebumps.
His own shadow becoming a new entity and wanting to kill the original. Hiss!
"That's right, this is also why it's listed as forbidden, but there's one family that carries the bloodline of the original Shadow Elf, they can perfectly master shadow power without the shadow devouring life situation, unfortunately, that family's bloodline has been completely extinct."
Rita said with great disappointment and desolation.
It was exactly Leah's family.
In terms of age, Leah was actually already several hundred years old.
However, elves before a thousand years old are all in their youth period and very beautiful.
Lin Tian became interested again, "Tell me in detail, which family was it?"
"The Silvie family, the last member of that clan, unfortunately disappeared long ago, otherwise if she mastered shadow power, our elf clan would be comparable to a divine court."
Rita said with emotion, very regretful.
She hadn't been able to stop the nobles from oppressing the Silvie family in time.
Unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret.
"Silvie..."
Lin Tian murmured to himself, his expression suddenly changing dramatically!
Silvie!
He remembered that Leah had mentioned her full name before, it was Leah Silvie!
Rita noticed and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing..."
Lin Tian sighed inwardly.
This Elf Kingdom was just like the Dwarf Kingdom, all self-inflicted.
If not for power and influence disputes, if the Elf Kingdom had nurtured the Silvie family and the Dwarf King had nurtured those craftsmen with special talents.
Then the Divine Continent would have two more powerful forces comparable to divine courts.
But regarding Leah, Lin Tian temporarily didn't plan to reveal her identity.
Otherwise, he worried she would be too kind and choose to unconditionally help the Elf Kingdom that had once persecuted her family.
Shadow power, if there was a chance to get it and give it to Leah to learn would be fine.
"My god! How could this be! So many corpses, Your Majesty, how did your palace suffer such a serious attack!"
Suddenly Rita's voice broke the silence, she took the longbow from her back and vigilantly looked around.
The more she looked, the more wrong it seemed.
The thick smell of blood made her almost vomit.
There were too many corpses!
It didn't look like an attack at all, but rather a large-scale massacre had occurred.
But with such an attack, why didn't the Dwarf King seem to know about it?
Rita's hands holding the bow and arrow were trembling, "These... aren't these all from the Destruction Legion? They were completely annihilated, what kind of existence could have done this?!"
"Of course it was me, don't make such a big fuss, Kamon, you guys quickly bring people to clean this up."
Lin Tian ordered.
Behind him followed the selected hundred trusted subordinates.
Rita listened in complete confusion, "You?"
The center of the Gangu armor slowly opened, revealing Lin Tian's form.
"Go... Goblin?! How is this possible!"
Rita retreated vigilantly.
In the forest where she lived there were also goblins, but they were very weak and wouldn't cause any impact.
But the one before her had slaughtered through the high-level forces of the Dwarf Kingdom!
Even the Dwarf King's invincible Gangu armor had been seized, which meant Bruce was dead!
Lin Tian said calmly, "Let me introduce myself briefly, I'm called Lin Tian, from now on I am the king of your Dwarf Kingdom."
"This..."
Rita stared wide-eyed, gasping in shock! It felt too incredible.
Someone had actually been able to break into the dwarf bunker and kill all the high-level officials! Even a God King wouldn't have that confidence!
Because the bunker's outer defenses were extremely strong.
"By the way, I come from the wasteland, and I'm also the Goblin Empire king that you mentioned would be eliminated by the allied nations."
Lin Tian said again.
Immediately.
Rita's heart almost stopped beating, "You, then why would you appear here? Did you abandon the empire to come seize the dwarf bunker?!"
This was too incredible!
But Lin Tian waved his hand, very indifferently, "The allied nations are nothing, I've eliminated them all, now in the current world, I am the strongest force."
"Buzz!"
At this moment.
Rita felt her brain crash, as if hearing some overloaded information!
Similarly, Kamon, Sel, Yarn and other dwarves were also dumbfounded, not expecting the allied nations to have been completely destroyed!
This was a force that also made them fearful.
Although the Dwarf King and Elf Queen were very strong.
But they couldn't withstand the human forces' abundant military strength, without nuclear weapons, numbers always had an advantage.
Rita occasionally smiled foolishly, murmuring, "All... all destroyed, ha... what does this count as, what do our elves' past efforts and dark history count as..."
Their dark period of being enslaved and becoming playthings was so despairing.
Through generations of effort, they finally entered a period of stability.
But still lived in constant fear.
However, a mere goblin from the wasteland, a goblin!
Had so casually destroyed the allied nations they feared so much!
"What do I count as, what does Her Majesty the Queen count as, haha..."
Tears rolled down Rita's face as she continuously mocked herself.
The lowest and most inferior goblins were actually strong to such a degree.
Lin Tian's voice sounded again, "Didn't I already agree to form an alliance with you? As for the conditions, that would be the shadow power."
"This... but I must remind you, shadow power is forbidden, ominous! You absolutely cannot use it carelessly."
Rita came back to her senses from her sorrow.
However, her expression was still somewhat dazed.
The shock she received was really too great.
Lin Tian's expression became serious, "I have my own judgment, do you agree or not?"
"Agree! Of course I agree!"
Rita had already recovered from the intense shock.
She became unprecedentedly excited! Thrilled!
Because they no longer needed to live in constant fear, no longer needed to tribute elf maidens to the various divine courts every year!
These years, they had sacrificed quite a few clansmen to the divine courts.
But all they got in return was that the divine courts wouldn't interfere with whether the current world's nations attacked the Elf Kingdom.
Now the nations were destroyed, no more need to fear!
Even following Lin Tian, there might be a chance to gather into a force capable of confronting the divine courts!
At that time, there would be true freedom and liberation!
...
Dwarf surface city.
Elizabeth, One-Eyed Owl and others were relaxing in a tavern.
Only Luo Ai'er didn't dare drink the strong liquor here, her face full of worry, "Should we really be drinking here? Shouldn't we think of a way to save His Majesty the Goblin?"
"His Majesty has his own judgment, we need not worry."
Elizabeth said indifferently, gently raising her wine cup to her red lips for a sip.
However.
Dante and Mechicura walked in from outside, mocking, "That goblin, and you say no need to worry? Right now, he's probably enjoying the dwarves' thirty-six tortures, living a fate worse than death, hahaha!"
