Free Web NovelChapter 145: Chapter 67: The Might of the [Fallen] Tag! The Elf Queen’s Evil Thought
’An evil thought?’
Su Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the Elf Queen in the distance.
Although the Elf Queen now wore a black dress and a golden crown, it still couldn’t conceal her noble and holy appearance. However, compared to before, she seemed to lack a certain warmth, replaced by a stern majesty that made her difficult to approach.
"Since you’re here, why not come in?" the Elf Queen asked coldly, her tone imbued with a heartless indifference, as if ordering one of her own subordinates.
Su Xuan frowned upon hearing this. He knew that the Elf Queen of the past two days had just been minor trouble. The real challenge was the Elf Queen controlled by this evil thought today!
After a brief moment of thought, he walked toward the wooden cabin. Since the Elf Queen had given him the task of eliminating her evil thought, he had a duty to fulfill. He would also use this opportunity to see what this evil thought of the Elf Queen truly was.
Seeing Su Xuan approach, the Elf Queen turned away indifferently and stepped inside. She sat on a jade chair, and just as Su Xuan was about to sit across from her, he was met with a sharp rebuke.
"Who gave you permission to sit as my equal!"
"?"
Hearing this, Su Xuan’s expression instantly turned serious. ’You’re just the Elf Queen’s evil thought. Do you really think you’re the true Elf Queen?’
’No, you’re just an evil notion born from her soul!’
’Besides, this is the Dream Realm. What’s there for me to be afraid of? Even in the game world, the Elf Queen can easily suppress this evil thought. There’s no reason to let it act so arrogantly.’
Unperturbed, Su Xuan sat down next to the Elf Queen.
This action immediately drew a flash of anger from the Elf Queen, but she quickly suppressed it and said coldly, "You should be clear on my purpose for being here."
Su Xuan remained silent in the face of the Elf Queen’s statement, his gaze wandering over her. He had never imagined that the Elf Queen’s evil thought would appear before him so brazenly, attempting to sway him to its side to seize control of her body.
’Should I say its ideas are a bit fanciful?’
"You’re nothing more than a wisp of the Elf Queen’s evil thoughts. You should be clear on that fact," Su Xuan emphasized.
The moment he finished speaking, the Elf Queen shot to her feet and raged, "Foolish! Do you really think the Elf Queen’s Kindness alone can guarantee the Eternal prosperity of the Elf Race? Only absolute Power can allow a race to stand firm amidst the flames of war! If it weren’t for her weakness and incompetence, I wouldn’t have been born thousands of years ago! Nor would the Dark Elf branch have ever emerged!"
"But the current Elf Race isn’t as pathetic as you imagine," Su Xuan retorted. "Among the Ten Thousand Races, they’ve always ranked in the upper-middle tier. And under the Elf Queen’s rule, whether in terms of economy or military strength, the Elf Race is by no means inferior to other races."
They might be slightly weaker than the Human Race and the Beast Race.
Besides, the Human Race and the Beast Race are both split into multiple nations, whereas the Elf Race is different; they have Faith in only one leader.
"The Elf Race is a Race blessed by the Elemental Goddess and the Goddess of Nature! The potential of the Elves is by no means limited to this! We should stand at the pinnacle of this world, on par with Giant Dragons and Angels!" The Elf Queen’s tone was grave as she described her soaring ambitions to Su Xuan.
Her words also made Su Xuan understand the essence of this evil thought.
During a war thousands of years ago, the Elf Race fell into a state of turmoil. This turbulent environment made the Elf Queen begin to yearn for immense Power, a desire that eventually evolved into a wisp of an evil thought.
Therefore, the root of the evil thought’s existence was to exhibit an aggressive nature, one different from the inherent nature of Elves. The Elf Queen’s evil thought was unwilling to coexist peacefully with other races. It hoped to use the Elf Race’s formidable combat talents to seize more resources and solidify the Elf Race’s dominance.
In a sense, its philosophy wasn’t wrong; it had simply chosen a different path to lead the Elf Race.
However, it was likely too obsessed with Power, forgetting that while the Elf Race naturally possesses a high Elemental Control Ability and, as a long-lived species, has vast lifespans, they do not have the ability to reproduce quickly.
’Without sufficient population to support it, what’s the point of talking about war!’
’It would just be a pointless waste of its people, ultimately leading to a total collapse.’
In comparison, the Elf Race’s long-standing policy of peace was more in line with their racial Traits.
"Your philosophy is difficult to realize. Given the Elf Race’s difficulty in reproducing, your style of leadership will ultimately only lead the Elf Race to its doom," Su Xuan stated his opinion frankly.
"Are you saying that I am wrong?!"
The Elf Queen furiously grabbed Su Xuan by the throat, her dark golden eyes flashing with rage.
The feeling of suffocation washed over him instantly, turning Su Xuan’s face beet red. Even though he was in the Dream Realm, he could clearly feel the threat of death approaching!
’As expected, an evil thought is just an evil thought, not a true living being!’
The existence of an evil thought is built on obsession. It might be able to think, but its thoughts are influenced by that obsession. Just like now—merely refuting its viewpoint made it fly into a rage.
However, Su Xuan had no intention of having a proper conversation with this wisp of an evil thought. To deal with a Level 96 Elf Queen, he had only one option. freewebnøvel.com
[Use a mandatory tag on Elf Queen (Evil Thought)?]
[Currently available mandatory tag]: [Fallen]
"Yes!"
[You have added the mandatory tag—Fallen—to Elf Queen (Evil Thought)!]
[Fallen: Sinking and falling is just the beginning; plunging into the Abyss is the final destination. You can bestow various Fallen Elements upon her and slowly train her...]
When the notification sound chimed, a [Fallen] tag immediately appeared on the Elf Queen’s Trait list.
The moment the [Fallen] tag was added, the Elf Queen’s body trembled involuntarily. At the same time, her hand clutching Su Xuan’s throat immediately loosened.
"Cough, cough!"
Su Xuan rubbed his throat. Even in the Dream Realm, the feeling of suffocation was still extremely uncomfortable!
"What did you do to me!?"
the Elf Queen demanded of Su Xuan. She only felt her thoughts becoming chaotic as an indescribable emotion surged within her, intertwining and erupting!
Su Xuan took a deep breath and commanded in a solemn tone, "Kneel!"
"Are you looking to die?"
The Elf Queen shot him a furious glare and did not obey Su Xuan’s command. A blue Flame even ignited at her fingertips.
At that moment, Su Xuan realized he hadn’t yet added a Fallen Element to the Elf Queen.
"You are Fallen to my command!"
The moment he spoke, the Elf Queen’s knees began to tremble slightly. Then, with a THUD, she knelt on the ground.
"How is this possible!?"
The Elf Queen was stunned. She never would have imagined her body would actually obey Su Xuan’s command.
’How is this possible?’
Seeing the Elf Queen actually kneel as commanded, Su Xuan was instantly filled with surprise and shock. ’Isn’t the power of this mandatory tag a bit too tyrannical?’
’In comparison, isn’t it much stronger than a certain Princess’s Dominated Demon Eye?’
At the same time, he also noticed that the Elf Queen wasn’t completely Fallen; her body was still resisting.
After all, Fallen was just a Status. Strong willpower could overcome it, unless one willingly indulged in it.
’Besides, I should be in the Dream Realm right now, right?’
’If I use the tag in the Dream Realm, will the [Fallen] tag still be there in the game world?’ freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Just as Su Xuan was lost in thought, the Elf Queen had already struggled free from the Fallen Status.
"What in the world did you do to me? You lowly ant, you shameless scoundrel!" the Elf Queen asked, gritting her silver teeth, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Hearing the Elf Queen’s furious words, Su Xuan’s brow tightened. He said coldly, "You are Fallen to a sincere, kneeling apology!"
With a BANG, the Elf Queen once again fell to her knees. Her voice came out intermittently, "I... I’m sorry..."
"!"
Seeing the Elf Queen’s reaction, Su Xuan’s heart instantly sped up slightly. The effect of the mandatory tag was far beyond his expectations!
’No, to be precise, the Power of the [Fallen] tag is too immense!’
"You despicable ant!"
Suddenly!
The Elf Queen once again broke free from the inner Fallen state and shakily rose to her feet.
This time, she grasped the timing perfectly. In the instant before Su Xuan could issue another command, she manipulated the flow of Magic Power. Instantly, the Dream Realm twisted like a distorted canvas, and the space plunged into chaos...
"!"
Su Xuan woke up from the dream with a jolt!
"Mr. Su Xuan, did you have a nightmare?"
Ivsha’s gentle voice reached him.
"I guess you could call it a nightmare..."
Su Xuan let out a long sigh of relief, but when his gaze shifted to Ivsha, he couldn’t help but frown.
’First thing in the morning, and Ivsha is stealing my Holy Light again!’
After thoroughly teaching Ivsha a lesson, Su Xuan opened his tag panel. He found that the [Fallen] tag was still in his tag library!
In other words, what happened in the Elf Queen’s Dream Realm didn’t count.
He could still use [Fallen] on someone else one more time!
...
Meanwhile, in the distant Elf Kingdom, the Elf Queen lay quietly upon a crystal-clear Jade Bed.
Suddenly, a powerful wave of emotion washed over her face, shattering her dream like a violent storm and jolting her awake!
"What... what happened to me?"
The Elf Queen’s fine brows knitted together, an inexplicable unease clouding her heart.
Just then, the reflection of another Elf Queen appeared in the mirror before her. The Elf Queen in the mirror had a profound gaze and said in a solemn tone, "We were influenced by the evil thought. That little fellow was just conversing with our evil thought."
Hearing this, a shadow of worry crossed the Elf Queen’s face.
"How could this happen? My seal on her should have been very stable."
"Obsession! Your obsession is still too deep! You’re still blaming yourself for that incident! You can’t bring them back from the dead; it was just an unavoidable tragedy of war!" the Elf Queen in the mirror continued in a heavy tone. "A thousand years have passed, yet you’re still trapped in that past, unable to break free! Tinas, where does the true source of this evil thought lie! You know it in your heart!"
