After falling into the crater, Elise quickly disappeared from Sally's sight.
After a moment of disorientation, when Elise regained her senses, she found herself in a huge underground cavern where she could see lava flowing freely. Surprisingly, she did not feel the scorching heat that she experienced outside.
Elise is quite familiar with this place; it's underground at Mount Doom, the place where the progenitor Titans slumber.
Elise has killed the Primal Titans countless times in the game, but here, she doesn't provoke this peaceful being.
As the surroundings began to tremble, a gigantic head slowly emerged from the lava lake. The skull of this head had disappeared, and even part of the brain had been neatly shaved off.
Just a head was enough to fill Elise's entire field of vision.
Besides the skull, one of the progenitor Titan's eyes has also disappeared, leaving only a huge void with lava flowing inside.
He opened his last remaining eye and looked at Elise, his deep voice ringing in her ears: "You've come."
"I wonder what brings you here?" Elise looked at the progenitor Titan before her, her emotions showing little fluctuation.
After all, she had seen it countless times in the game, and even killed it countless times. In addition, her soul and spirit had been greatly strengthened by countless rebirths.
This enhancement meant that even facing the gods wouldn't affect Elise's spirit. If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to lift their head under the invisible pressure, let alone look directly at the gods.
"To repay a favor," the voice of the Primal Titan rang out once more.
Upon hearing this, Elise instinctively thought of Eros. After all, as the goddess of love, it was normal for her to owe favors to others everywhere.
However, the progenitor Titan seemed to have seen through Elise's thoughts and said calmly, "It has nothing to do with Eloise."
Before Elise could ask, she felt the Gluttony Brand on the back of her hand emerge on its own, accompanied by a faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation, as if it were a greeting to the progenitor Titan.
At this moment, Elise noticed a hint of gentleness on the face of the progenitor Titan. Although he did not make a sound, Elise sensed a sense of loss emanating from the Gluttony Mark.
Elise never expected that her old friend from the Proto-Titans would be the Trash Can... cough cough, the King of Gluttony.
There's no information about it in the game, and we have no idea how these two got together.
Just as Elise was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of a heart beating. She instinctively looked ahead and saw a heart that looked like it was made of rock gradually emerging from the lava lake. The sound was coming from that heart.
In Elise's system view, a prominent mark could be clearly seen on that heart.
Heart of Titan
It is one of the three hearts of the progenitor Titan.
Although the system's description was very simple, it caused a huge uproar in Elise's mind.
The Proto-Titans had three hearts, which were also the source of their power. One of them was shattered during the War of the Gods, and this is one of the remaining two hearts.
In the game, to kill the Primal Titan, you must find a way to destroy his two hearts; otherwise, he is immortal.
Now, why has He taken out one of the hearts?
Volume 1: Chapter 478 So you have that kind of fetish?
After the enormous heart emerged from the lava lake, it slowly floated toward Elise. By the time it reached her, it had shrunk to the size of a normal human heart.
Although the heart containing the power of the Proto-Titan was right in front of her, Elise did not take it. Instead, she looked up at the Proto-Titan whose eyes were full of exhaustion.
"I want to make a deal with you."
"The details of the transaction."
"If you have the chance in the future, help me rescue that glutton from the Abyss Sea, and this heart will be your reward."
Elise could clearly sense the resistance emerging from the Gluttony Mark. She said softly, "I am a follower of the King of Gluttony. Given the chance, I will definitely rescue my benefactor. You don't need to tell me that, and I don't need your reward."
"I am about to fall into eternal slumber. This heart is my reward for helping me protect my people. Perhaps, it can be of some help to you at a crucial moment."
"This is also the last thing I leave to my people."
After saying this, the Proto-Titan closed his eyes. Before Elise could speak, she felt a daze. When she came to her senses, she found herself in the crater of Mount Doom.
Sally, who was drinking water nearby, was startled when she saw Elise suddenly appear beside her.
Elise reached out and gently patted Sally's back to ease her cough, while glancing at the still-beating heart in her hand.
She hadn't expected that the Titans' purpose in meeting her would be so simple and direct.
"Don't be sad. He's not dead. You can still see him when you come out, but it may take a very, very long time."
Whether it was Elise's words or not, the gluttony mark on the back of her hand gradually calmed down, but Elise could still sense her sadness.
Looks like I'll have to cook a big meal for the trash can when I get home to soothe its feelings.
"Who are you talking to?" Sally cautiously looked around; there were only her and Elise around.
"He is speaking to one of my benefactors."
"Isn't the way you're talking to your benefactor a little too simple and direct?" Sally smirked.
She had met cult members before, and all of them, regardless of which cult they were, showed great respect to their faith's benefactor. No one was as casual as Elise.
“I told you to go back first. It’s so hot in here. If I stay in there for too long, you’ll be miserable.” Elise took out a handkerchief and wiped Sally’s face.
The faint scent of morning dew and flowers made Sally momentarily dazed, but she quickly regained her senses and, with a helpless expression, distanced herself from Elise: "Don't suddenly talk to me in such a gentle tone!"
Elise covered her mouth in surprise and muttered softly, "I didn't expect you to have such a strange fetish?"
"what?"
"Many people in Seria's aristocratic circle have a penchant for being treated roughly."
“I don’t have that kind of fetish!” Sally said irritably. She just felt that sometimes Elise’s gentleness was a bit too much for her to guard against. Before she knew it, she had fallen into the other’s gentle trap and couldn’t get out.
Although Elise wanted to tease Sally some more, the temperature at the Doomsday Crater was just too extreme, giving her the feeling that her soul was about to be roasted.
Sally was in a worse state than Elise, sweating profusely.
With Sally's teleportation, the two quickly returned to the tribe.
The giants have all been moved to the Land of Hope, leaving only Elena and Flora here to wait for Elise and Sally's return.
Seeing Elise and Sally return safely, Elena silently breathed a sigh of relief: "Nothing bad happened, right?"
"No, but I discovered a secret about Sally, she actually..."
Before Elise could even speak, Sally covered her mouth. That woman Elise was so wicked; she acted as if it were true even though it was completely untrue.
Seeing the two playfully fighting, Elena figured nothing unexpected would happen.
Elise ultimately didn't reveal Sally's little secret, even though it was clearly a fabrication.
"Alright, let's go back now. Thank you for your help."
"It's nothing, I've gotten used to it these past few days." Sally pursed her lips, then activated a long-distance teleportation, bringing everyone back to Seria's manor.
As soon as she returned to Seria, the scorching feeling vanished instantly. Without saying a word, Elise headed straight for the bathhouse. Having sweated a lot, she could no longer bear the sticky feeling on her body.
Before going to take a bath, she naturally turned back and called out, "If you want to take a bath, you can come along too."
Although Elise had extended an invitation, in the end, only Elena went into the bath with her.
Flora wanted to go but didn't dare, while Sally decisively went back to her bathroom to take a shower.
She felt she needed to calm down and then rid herself of the mental pollution caused by that wicked woman, Elise.
While taking a bath, Elise briefly recounted her audience with the progenitor Titan to Elena.
Upon hearing that Elise had obtained the heart of the Proto-Titan, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "So, you now possess one-third of the Proto-Titan's power?"
"What you said is true, but this power is not easy to control."
After hearing what Elise said, Elena calmed down. The power of the Primordial Titans was indeed too great, and they were not capable of controlling it at present.
But the feeling of having such a powerful heart right in front of you and being unable to do anything about it is somewhat torturous.
Seeing Elena's conflicted expression, Elise chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I already know where this heart is used."
"Where?"
"Do you remember the Magic Titan we discovered in the ancient magic workshop?"
"You mean, use this heart as the core to power the magical titan?"
"That's right. If the Magic Titan can be assembled and activated, it should have the power of a demigod."
"A demigod? I think Flora would be very happy, wouldn't she?"
"I can already imagine her expression when she hears the news," Elise said with a faint smile.
"By the way, it's just the two of us here now."
"What do you want to do?"
"Of course, I'm asking you to do me a small favor." Elise licked her lips, revealing a captivating smile.
Volume 1: Chapter 479 Beware of Gaia
"I'm planning a trip to the Land of Hope. Would you like to come along?"
As Elise stepped out of the bathhouse, she looked at Elena beside her and extended a sincere invitation.
Feeling her body feel somewhat empty, Elena glared at Elise with annoyance. In her current state, she had no intention of accompanying Elise to some place of hope.
All Elena wanted to do now was go back to her room and get a good night's sleep, hoping that when she woke up she wouldn't see Elise the first thing she saw.
After silently praying for a while, Elena went upstairs to her room.
As Elise watched Elena's slightly unsteady steps as she left, a pleased smile crept onto her lips. She had only accidentally absorbed a little extra essence while asking Elena for help.
But Elena's essence is really delicious.
It's unclear what Elise was thinking, but a flicker of undisguised excitement and longing flashed in her eyes.
However, Elise quickly calmed down. Sometimes she felt that she was becoming more and more like a succubus, and she wanted to drain people's life force at the drop of a hat.
But there's nothing we can do about it. Whether it's Elena or Nora, they are the main characters, and the essence they contain is incredibly delicious, making it impossible for anyone to resist.
Yes, it's all their own fault. Elise will never think that she has done anything wrong.
After composing herself, Elise went straight into the basement and used the ancient teleportation array to arrive at the Land of Hope.
Upon entering the Land of Hope, Elise saw many giants. Many of them looked at the new residents of the Land of Hope with curiosity, but also with some wariness.
The giants were also very curious about this new land.
Based on her past experience, Elise judged that the giants shouldn't need to spend too much time integrating into the group.
Just then, Lily's petite figure suddenly appeared in front of Iris.
When Lily first appeared before Elise, she had a confident smile on her face. During the time Elise was away, she had been working hard to resist the effects of coexisting with the World Tree and felt that she had made great progress.
Lily originally thought that when she saw Elise again, she wouldn't have those strange feelings of wanting to rub against her or hug her anymore.
But soon, Lily's smile froze on her face, because the moment she saw Elise, she couldn't help but feel a surge of affection. If she hadn't been so determined, she might have already jumped into Elise's arms and rubbed against her.
Thinking of that strange scene, Lily, not wanting to embarrass herself, tried to calm her excited heart, and then said to Iris with a straight face, "You're finally back."
Although Lily had tried her best, Elise simply reached out and patted her head, and Lily couldn't help but rub her hand against Elise's palm. When she came to her senses, she found Elise looking at her with a smile.
A blush of shyness spread across Lily's face at a visible speed, and even her pointed ears turned pink.
"No, it's not what you think. It's a problem with the World Tree."
"Yes, yes, I know even if you don't say it. I'll go and teach it a lesson later."
Seeing Elise's perfunctory attitude, Lily couldn't help but pout. However, she didn't forget the important matter and directly pulled Elise into the conference room.
As soon as she was teleported to the conference room, Elise saw Vivian and the old Titan.
At this point, the old Titan's body had shrunk to the size of an ordinary human, and he was sitting in a specially made wheelchair, looking like a frail old man.
But this seemingly frail old man can transform into a Titan several meters tall at any moment, capable of shattering a small mountain with a single punch.
"I've brought the person over, let's continue."
Elise originally wanted to sit down next to Lily, but after feeling Vivian's gaze, she could only silently walk over and sit down next to Vivian. After all, she had offended Vivian many times, and if she continued to offend her, Elise felt that she would be locked in the basement sooner or later.
"Ahem, what were you guys discussing just now?"
"We are discussing how to prevent the resurgence of war."
Now that the old Titan is sitting here, it means they've all turned against each other in this war. Since they're enemies, they should be dealt with to the death.
"You don't need to worry too much about this. If war could really be so easily revived, the flames of war would have already swept across the entire world. With the intervention of the Eternal Church, war will not easily revive, and I already have a solution."
"What method?" Lily was a little curious. Elise hadn't explained in detail in the chat room before because of time constraints, but seeing her so confident now made Lily quite curious.
"As long as order is restored ahead of schedule, that will be fine," Elise said casually.
