He is one of the most insane gods. If He were to revive, the entire world would be plunged into endless war, and no one could escape it.
Elena had read many accounts of the war and knew that what Elise said made a lot of sense, but she was still a little worried. After all, Elise was a god, and she would definitely take back her own artifact after her resurrection.
"You think that after He is resurrected, He will definitely come looking for me, right?"
"Hmm, I don't believe you wouldn't have thought of that."
“Of course I can think of that, but you also know it was after His resurrection. What if He hadn’t been able to resurrect Him successfully?”
Countless thoughts surfaced in Elise's mind, and a plan gradually took shape.
After a long period of contemplation, Elise let out a long sigh of relief, and then began to use the power of the Earth Goddess that she had stolen to contact her followers.
Strictly speaking, it connected with the believers who were close to Vivian and Lily, as well as Wendy, who, as her priestess, Elise could contact directly.
In areas where the insect network doesn't cover, this is the only way to contact people who are far away.
A short while later, Vivian and Lily also connected to the chat room created by Elise through Elise's followers, while Wendy entered the chat room directly.
"You're contacting us this way? You must have gotten yourself into some big trouble, right?" Lily's voice rang in Elise's ear.
"It's pretty much the same, actually." Elise briefly explained the situation to the two of them, and the chat room fell silent.
"How confident are you that you can prevent the war from starting again?"
"Conservatively speaking, the success rate should be around 60%. If the Order faction is willing to cooperate, the success rate can be increased even further. Even if we fail, we will only lose an artifact that does not entirely belong to us."
“I think we can give it a try.” Vivian quickly gave her answer, because she knew very well that when Elise said conservative, she really meant it.
Therefore, in her view, Elise should be very confident that she can prevent the war from resuming.
As for Wendy, she is a staunch supporter of Elise and will not have any doubts about Elise's decisions, choosing to support her decisively.
Lily was initially hesitant, but seeing that most people had chosen to agree, she figured it wouldn't make a difference if she opposed it, so she also chose to support it.

"It seems like things aren't going well on your end. Do you need any help?"
After the discussion ended, before the chat room closed, Lily also asked Elise for her opinion.
“I’m quite familiar with the situation here, so there’s no need for that for now. I can guarantee your safety if any problems arise, but I’m very happy that you care about me.” Elise teased Lily in her usual sweet tone.
But at this moment, she clearly forgot that Vivian was still in the chat room.
After hearing her words, he said calmly, "It seems I haven't been paying attention to you."
Although it was just a chat room, Elise still felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that Vivian hadn't even settled the score with her for rebelling against the Heavenly Gang last time, and now this had happened again. She felt that when she got back, Vivian might pin her down on the bed...
To avoid escalating the situation, Elise coughed twice and said, "Well, there's something else I want to discuss."
"If we choose to cooperate with the descendants of the Titans, can we bring them into the Land of Hope as well?"
Although the Land of Hope was able to be established with Elise's help, it would take some time for the leaders to discuss and decide on the addition of new members.
"We'll need to discuss this with that old Titan before making a decision. Give him a bug."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." With Vivian overseeing things, Elise was quite at ease.
There were only these two things to discuss. After the discussion, Elise casually made up an excuse and closed the chat room early.
Seeing that Elise had regained her senses, Elena asked softly, "How did things go?"
"It's basically settled. Now we need to figure out how to resolve the crisis of the Titan descendants before we go to that ancient magical ruin."
Are we really sure we'll be fine with just a few of us?
It wasn't that Elena underestimated herself, but the descendants of the ancient kingdom should have a very solid foundation. Even if they could help, they probably wouldn't be able to make a big difference.
"As long as Flora is here, there will be no problem."
Flora seemed a little confused when she was suddenly mentioned. She was just a magical craftswoman, so how did she become a key figure?
Seeing Flora's nervous expression, Elise chuckled and said gently, "Don't underestimate yourself. Your abilities are a natural nemesis to those descendants of ancient kingdoms. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lent you my eyes back then."
Although Flora was socially awkward, she wasn't stupid. After hearing what Elise said, she quickly understood her intention.
"Miss Elise, are you saying that we should act as the eyes of the Titan descendants, and that by knowing their weaknesses, the Titan descendants will gain a great advantage in battle?"
"Yes, that's what I meant."
"I...I will work hard." Flora said with a determined look, even though she had never faced these things before.
After the three rested for a while, someone brought them food, which was lava snail meat. The preparation method was very simple and crude, and it didn't look appetizing.
However, Elise still picked up her utensils and started eating, because although the taste wasn't great, eating it would increase her heat resistance a little.
Elise usually wouldn't pass up food that could increase her attributes.
Elena had already taken out some jerky, but seeing that Elise had already started eating, she hesitated for a moment and then joined in.
……
The next day, Elise had someone take her back to the enormous palace early in the morning and told the old Titan about their decision.
Having received the response he wanted, the old Titan took out the Banner of War and handed it to Elise.
This divine artifact has been sealed, but even so, Elise could still feel the surging power of war within it as she held it in her hand.
"You're giving me the thing right now?"
"Yes, whether things succeed or not, this thing belongs to you."
Elise didn't ask silly questions like, "Aren't you afraid I'll just take the stuff and leave?" After all, this was the territory of the old Titans, and the original Titans might be watching the situation. Elise wouldn't do anything that would lead to her death.
"I'll take that for now." Elise casually handed the War Banner to Elena, who was standing to the side. This thing couldn't be put into a spatial ring. Forcing it in would only cause the spatial ring to burst.
Then, Elise took out a map she had drawn herself, which she based on the map in the game. It detailed the various arrangements of the descendants of the ancient kingdom, and even the patrol routes were clearly marked.
The old Titan had some doubts about why the Father God valued these seemingly weak people so much, until he saw this map.
"First, we need to take down this stronghold because they are manufacturing burrowing worms here. Once they are finished, the descendants of the ancient kingdom will directly invade this place, which will be fatal for you."
"Next is this place..."
Elise spent the morning in the palace making various preparations before heading with the Titans' attack squad to the first stronghold that needed to be eliminated.
Although the descendants of the Titans were enormous, their affinity with the earth, coupled with the help of Elise, the 'pseudo-earth goddess,' allowed them to infiltrate underground, a method of movement that would go unnoticed.
In a secluded camp some distance from the Titan tribe, two sentries were chatting casually.
They didn't notice that in a corner not far away, a silly-looking head popped out of the ground, looked around, and then shrank back underground.
“Miss Elise, we are ready.”
"Then let's proceed according to plan."
"Yes."
The leading giant bowed respectfully to Iris, then gestured to his companions.
The two sentries, who were chatting, suddenly found themselves shrouded in shadow. Before they could react, the greatsword had already slammed down heavily.
The sound was not transmitted because Flora had already set up a silence barrier and also took over the reconnaissance magic device hovering in the sky.
Similar situations continued to occur elsewhere in the camp, and by the time others realized what was happening, it was too late.
All the key points of the camp have been captured, and even the magical devices that were set up in advance have turned to face them.
Volume 1: Chapter 470 Contrast
There is a magic workshop underground in the camp, where the magic drilling worms made by the descendants of the ancient kingdom are located.
Flora was standing excitedly beside the giant magical worm, touching it from left to right.
The giant thing in front of us is only a semi-finished product. If this were a game, we would need to complete tasks, such as finding materials, to help the descendants of the ancient kingdom complete the creation of the magic worm.
A giant nearly four meters tall squatted down beside Elise, looking at the magical worm in front of her and asking, "Miss Elise, should I destroy this thing?"
“No need, this can be recycled,” Elise said, patting Flora on the shoulder.
Flora knew that now was not the time to study these things, so she took out the super-large capacity space ring she had obtained when she participated in the academy exchange and put the half-finished magic drilling worm into it.
In the game, to obtain this worm, you must complete the questline of the descendants of the ancient kingdom and eventually gain control of it. However, this is not a game, and there is no need to complete any complicated tasks.
Moreover, as a 'pseudo-Earth Goddess', Elise's followers can act as burrowing worms. However, this magical burrowing worm was made using ancient magical technology and has extremely high research value, which is why Elise asked Flora to retrieve it.
Not only did Flora take the burrowing worms, but she also recycled all sorts of equipment from the magic workshop. These were the fruits of ancient magic technology, and she certainly wouldn't let them go.
As you can see, Flora's face is no longer tense at all; all that remains is happiness.
After Flora finished packing, Iris checked the time and then said to the giant beside her, "Have your people prepare; we're heading to the next place."
"Yes."
The giants held Elise in high esteem. In addition to being honored guests, they also felt an unparalleled sense of warmth from her. With Elise's planning and assistance, they suffered no losses in this operation, and even those who were injured received immediate medical treatment.
Through a combination of these actions, Elise successfully earned the respect of the Giants Squad.
Subsequently, under Elise's leadership, they successfully eliminated four strongholds of the ancient kingdom's descendants in just one day, and all of them were extremely important strongholds.
With the help of Flora and Iris, these descendants of the ancient kingdom, transformed by magic, were utterly powerless to resist, and couldn't even manage to send word of the attack.
By the time the descendants of the ancient kingdom received the news, it was already the next day.
While adjusting their follow-up plans, they discovered that several more outposts had lost contact and, barring unforeseen circumstances, had also been attacked.
"Damn it, can someone tell me what happened? How do those stoneheads know the exact location of our stronghold?" The leader of the ancient kingdom's descendants, a being whose body had been modified to over 90% perfection, was normally devoid of emotion due to the modifications, but now he was enraged.
"We don't know the specifics either. They seem to know all our plans, and the strangest thing is that our people can't even transmit information."
"Could there be a traitor among our people?" someone asked.
"We can't wait any longer, or the efforts of generations will be in vain." *Whoosh*
"No, if we attack rashly now that they know our plan, we'll only fall into their trap."
A heated argument erupted in the conference room.
……
"Too fast."
Some of the giants, looking rather dazed, stared at the cleaned-up stronghold.
Previously, he might not be able to find any trace of the blasphemers even after searching for ten days or half a month, but since Miss Elise arrived, she not only provided information on the locations of all the blasphemers' strongholds, but she also knew the situation inside the strongholds like the back of her hand.
She knew the patrol routes, the locations of the sentries, the strength of the personnel, and even their weaknesses.
Fighting with such abundant and detailed intelligence gave him an unparalleled sense of exhilaration.
Actually, let alone all that, Elise even knows the pre- and post-animation animations of those cyborgs perfectly well, but now she no longer needs to worry about the details.
"Miss Elise, why leave those blasphemers alive?" The giant looked at the group of blasphemers who were lying on the ground unable to resist, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
They knew about the blasphemers' intelligence plans, and he couldn't see any use for these prisoners anyway.
“I left them behind so that it would be easier to breach their base.” A look of pleasure appeared in Elise’s eyes.
"Damn witch, stop dreaming! Even if I die, I will never let you have your way!" One of the descendants of the ancient kingdom struggled desperately, but it was no use. All the magical circuits in his body were interfered with by unknown forces.
Otherwise, he would have self-destructed before being captured.
Any descendant of an ancient kingdom whose body has been modified will have a magical bomb implanted inside their body, which is why the giants have always had a hard time capturing prisoners.
Unfortunately for them, they ran into the combination of Elise and Flora this time. As long as they don't want you to self-destruct, there's absolutely no way you can succeed in self-destructing.
"Watch your tone when you speak to Miss Elise, you blasphemer!" A massive sword, as thick as a door, was pressed against the man's forehead.
"It's okay to call me a witch, after all, I quite like that title. I'd like to ask you to become a witch's lackey, is that alright?" Elise's tone was gentle, as if she were really asking him for a favor.
The other captured descendants of the ancient kingdom looked at Elise with cold smiles. Goode was one of the most loyal warriors in the tribe; he would never betray them, even in death…
"As you wish, Miss Elise!" The warrior who had just wanted to kill Elise with his eyes was now looking at her with fanaticism, as if his god had descended before him.
She was willing to give anything, her life or her soul, if she wanted to.
"Good, have you gone mad? How dare you swear allegiance to a witch!" someone roared.
"How could I possibly go crazy? My mind is crystal clear right now, and I feel better than ever before!" Goode, who had regained his mobility, was spreading his arms wide with fervor, trying to proclaim the beauty of Elise to his former companions.
However, all he received in response was cold stares and insults. If it was just insults, he could ignore them, but if Miss Elise was insulted, then sorry, he would have to die.
The sharp longsword silenced the blasphemer forever.
Seeing his extremely contrasting behavior, even the simple-minded giant felt a chill run down his spine.
