Chapter 1075 Rinoz Must Go.
An origin god spoke after some silence for contemplation and wonder, "No wonder Rinoz is angry. No one can blame her. I would be pissed too."
The others nodded and agreed. None of them seemed agitated or at least affected by the fact that some of the wood elves had broken the ancient pact with the fountain of life. The fate of the wood elves is theirs and theirs alone right now.
They will not have the help of the Origin gods. They will bear the consequences for that action alone. And if the race has a civil war again, then so be it.
The representative of the fountain of life on the other hand wasn't amused. She said, "I think you will want to know how Rinoz escaped."
That piqued the interest of some of the Origin gods. "Yes, how did the naïve pup escape?"
"What does it matter how she escaped? All that matters is that she did and she is our enemy now."
Another origin god mocked. "See how low the wood elves gotten nowadays that they will fail an ambush against an ignorant target."
The representative all but shouted, "She had the help of the ghouls."
"So what?" The pink-haired origin god asked with a shrug.
The representative calmed down. Then she said, "What I am about to tell you will prove why the request of the fountain of life should be fulfilled."
An origin said with a tone of finality, "I should stop you right there before you go any further. We are giving up on the plane. That means we are not doing the fountain of life any more favors. If it wants something done, then it should come out from wherever it is to do it itself."
The revelation took the representative by shock. She relayed the information to the fountain of life. Then she regained her composure after she heard what the fountain of life said.
She spoke to them, "Regardless. The fountain of life still believes we can work together. It is especially important in this case. Rinoz must be eliminated at all costs."
It was the origin gods' turn to be surprised. "Do you not mean Ragnarok?" Someone asked her.
They expect and will understand if the fountain of life has a vendetta against Ragnarok. After all, Ragnarok released the ghouls which the fountain of life wanted sealed. They are not foolish. They know that the fountain of life must have a reason for helping the wood elves. That reason can't be benevolence. The fountain of life must have a plan for the wood elves and for the plane.
They don't know that plan but they suspect that Ragnarok has jeopardized it with the release of the ghouls. So the fountain of life should hate Ragnarok. They also don't like Ragnarok and will gladly help the fountain of life get rid of him if they have the chance.
Rinoz on the other hand has been really helpful to the wood elves. And from what they heard earlier, Rinoz was the one slighted by the wood elves. They don't see how Rinoz suddenly became the enemy that must be eliminated at all costs instead of Ragnarok.
"I said and I meant Rinoz." The representative insisted. "The fountain of life is particular about her elimination."
"What is this about?" Someone asked curiously.
She replied, "It is like this. It happened when she was about to be captured. She..."
What the representative of the fountain of life said set the room into an uproar. She explained why Rinoz ought to be eliminated and it finally agitated the origin gods. But they still decided not to do anything about Rinoz. They are done helping anyone. Besides, they want to avoid the ghouls so they will avoid Riniz too.
The representative left in a huff after she expressed the disappointment of the fountain of life in no vague terms. The origin gods weren't moved. They returned to planning how they would attack the Vampires.
----------
Ragnarok is having a good time. He popped into existence deep in the ground. It is technically the surface but he is in the ground because that's where the Primogenitor was hiding.
He licked his lips. "That was the fifth heart of Carnage. Four more to go."
The Primogenitor he just killed is his fourth. It makes a total of 5 hearts of carnage plus the one he got from his father.
He snickered and said, "I want to see CARNAGE's face right now. It must be so red."
All in all, he is having fun hunting and killing the Primogenitors. What could be better is if he can see how pissed off the demon god is right now. He can't so he will use his imagination.
"I should get going now. I am sure that I can get a third one if I hurry."
He has killed two Primogenitors in the span of hours. There are still some more hours of daylight left that he can take advantage of. So he picked his next target and rushed towards it.
Unfortunately, he was late to his target by a step. He managed to reach the poor weakened Primogenitor but someone got there before him. It is something to be accurate, not someone. This something suddenly warped beside his fleeing target.
It was a white ghoul. Then thousands of ghouls appeared around the Primogenitor. They surrounded the Primogenitor and buried it with their bodies. Ragnarok made sure to stay very far away from the commotion. He even ran back to avoid it.
He didn't stop until he was more than 50 kilometers away. Only then did he feel safe enough to watch. The fight didn't take long. The ghouls soon scattered to reveal what they buried.
The Primogenitor isn't dead yet. But it has become too weak to move after exhausting its limited store of blood power to protect its life. The white Ghoul held the poor Primogenitor up by the neck. The Primogenitor has been beaten within an inch of its life. It was too weak to resist.
