Arcane Journey

Time passed quietly.

After listening to the elf Hathaway's account of the whole story, Brian frowned unconsciously. He didn't expect the whole thing to become so complicated.

What made him even more speechless was that the reason for all this, apart from the fact that Ms. Jin Xin was plotted against, was also due to their own actions, otherwise things would not have turned out like this.

Of course, despite all the complaints, after thinking about these things carefully, Brian still admires these elven gods of the Seldarine pantheon.

So many things have happened in the world of Toril in just a few hundred years, and yet there has been little sign of the elven pantheon taking action, leading many people to believe that Corellon, the refugee leader, has been killed along with the entire elven pantheon.

Little did they know that others were also secretly planning.

The protagonist of this plan is none other than Angris, the most powerful goddess in the elven pantheon.

As Corellon's second spouse, Angharris is very special.

She is not only the second consort of Corellon Larethian after the Realm of Arvandor, but also the embodiment of three independent goddesses - Aedri Faenya, Hanali Seranil, and Sehanine Moonbow. They are collectively known as the Three, and are also a unique existence that includes their respective faces and personalities, that is, the One.

Angharris, the triune goddess, possesses the power to change her face at any time. She can integrate the power of the three goddesses into one, or make them independent and come into the world with different appearances and personalities.

Therefore, she often performs a variety of miracles according to the needs of the situation.

In the peaceful years, Angris takes care of the sowing of crops with gentle hands, brings blessings to new life, protects the land from being green, and promotes the growth of all things.

And when the war breaks out, she transforms into a cold warrior wielding a red sword, ruthlessly slaying the enemies of the elves.

In moments of wisdom and guidance, Trinity Angris is a rare beacon, providing direction and advice to those who are lost.

It is because of the ever-changing multiple faces of Angharris that her worship is almost limited to the moon elves and a few half-moon elves among the elven community.

They were deeply attracted by the various forms of this goddess, and regarded her as their guide and protector. They were full of awe and trust in the overall image of the Trinity of Angharris.

In contrast, other elves tend to view Angharradh as a single goddess rather than a combined incarnation of three gods.

Thus, in their beliefs, Angharradh is reduced more to a single form than to her full holiness and majesty.

This division of faith was like an invisible shackle that tightly bound Angress.

Although as the second spouse of the elven god Corellon, Angharradh apparently possesses divine power powerful enough to shake the stars, it is the trinity nature of this power itself that makes it difficult for her to condense it into one and exert the most shocking power.

This is just like the dazzling full moon, which, although radiant with brilliance, cannot compete with the Milky Way formed by thousands of stars.

The power of Angharris is like the full moon, beautiful but alone in the night sky, unable to reach the highest perfection.

If there are flaws, we naturally have to find ways to improve them. This is the main reason why the elven pantheon can be suppressed by the spider queen Rose, but rarely launch an effective counterattack.

Obviously, they were also preparing a big move. And Brian also had a general understanding of this so-called big move from Hathaway's words.

In fact, even if Hathaway didn't say it, Brian could roughly guess what the elven pantheon's plan was.

In short, it was to allow Angris, the Triune Goddess, to transcend the boundaries of existence and merge into a single being.

Only in this way can she unify the scattered and different beliefs among the elves and make them unified, no longer troubled by division.

Just imagine, when faith gathers like a tide, Angharris's vast divine power will also condense and no longer disperse, truly demonstrating its unparalleled power.

At that time, in addition to the eternal ruler Corellon, the elven pantheon will have another being with powerful divine power.

The two gods stand side by side, like twin stars shining. There is no need to explain the power of the elven pantheon. Their influence is so extensive that it is enough to shake the entire world of Toril and make the position of the elves in the universe more stable, with both dignity and glory.

Of course, imagination is beautiful, but it is inevitable that reality is also cruel.

Whether it is Angharris of the Trinity Goddess, or the other three incarnations of Adri Faenya, Hanali Seranil, and Sehanni Moonbow, their beliefs have been deeply rooted in the elves for thousands of years, and it is not so easy to change them easily.

This is also a long process.

In Hathaway's narration, Brian did not hear what method the elven gods planned to use to merge, but the reason why Hathaway appeared here was obviously related to this matter.

"Then what is your purpose in coming to the Underdark?" Brian collected his thoughts, his eyes fixed on Hathaway's deep eyes, his voice filled with curiosity and inquiry that was difficult to conceal.

Hathaway smiled gently, and that smile seemed to hide endless secrets and vicissitudes. She slowly said: "Why should we take action against the Phantom Demon King? All this is due to the fusion of the Trinity Goddess, which is far from as easy as it seems." There was a hint of helplessness in her tone, as if she was carrying a heavy burden, and unspeakable pain lingered in her heart.

"After all..." She paused slightly, her eyes passing through the dark area, as if recalling that distant and mysterious past:

"If this fusion is successful, it will mean the disappearance of the other three goddesses. Even if they have great righteousness in their hearts and are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for this, those devout believers will reawaken their consciousness in the dark because of their unwavering faith in the goddesses, which will undoubtedly disrupt Angris's pace of fusion again."

"So?" Brian looked thoughtful after noticing Hathaway's strange expression. He probably guessed the reason. He noticed that Hathaway's expression was very complicated. The subtle changes in her eyes concealed deep sorrow and relief. He couldn't help but have many questions in his mind: "So, how did you deal with it?"

Hathaway sighed softly when she heard that. Her long golden hair falling beside her cheeks swayed gently in the breeze like a golden waterfall, adding a bit of mystery and softness to her face.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes revealing a kind of otherworldly remoteness, as if she was traveling through the long river of time, recalling that ancient and sacred history.

"Fusion... does not represent complete demise." Hathaway's voice was soft but firm. Every word was like a spring flowing slowly from the bottom of her heart, clear and powerful. "For the three goddesses, this is more like another form of rebirth."

When talking about rebirth, a complex emotion flashed in Hathaway's eyes, like a meteor across the night sky, short and brilliant.

After a moment of silence, she opened her lips and continued, "Over the long years, the three goddesses have experienced countless reincarnations and changes. Each fusion is a baptism of the soul and a transformation of power. They are no longer simple individual existences, but have turned into the most brilliant stars in the universe, shining on this land forever in another form."

Hathaway's voice gradually became low and solemn, as if she was telling an ancient and solemn legend. Every syllable shook the air, making people involuntarily immersed in the solemnity and sacredness. "In the process of fusion, even if their consciousness dissipates, they will turn into three different forces, each guarding the peace of the Kingdom of Avandor." (End of this chapter)
