Chapter 599: Chapter 510: Exposed Crisis

In the World Tree Divine Country.

Eve sat on her throne, her exquisite face expressionless.

However, the patches of dark clouds in the sky of the Divine Country betrayed her current mood.

The thoughts of a True God would affect the Divine Country.

Undoubtedly, at this moment, Eve’s mood was heavier than ever before.

“I truly have had it too easy, and I’ve underestimated the True Gods of the Segis World. Anyone who can become a master of the world isn’t a complete fool.”

She sighed slightly.

Eve gently shook her head, her eyes turning to the Death Desert on the simulation sandbox.

More accurately, she was looking at the very edge of the sandbox, where the “World Tree Divine Country” had just manifested.

Her eyes flickered with uncertainty, and she said with slight self-mockery, “To go or not to go… It truly presents me with a dilemma.”

She already knew the World Tree Divine Country was fake, with a trap lying in wait behind it.

However, if she truly did not go, a greater crisis might ensue…

Speaking of which, this was actually Eve’s own problem.

Her power had recovered too quickly, a speed that could not be measured by the standards of an ordinary True God.

If there was no reasonable explanation, it would naturally lead to suspicion.

And the solution Eve had chosen was to use the “extremism” displayed by the players to create a narrative of a new god polluted by the power of faith…

This did address her problem to some extent, but now it had become a fatal weakness.

“If I really don’t go… that would indicate I’m not polluted by the power of faith, and my true identity could very well be exposed.”

“However… if I do go, the enemy will undoubtedly be prepared with ambushes, making it very difficult for my True God Avatar to withstand…”

Eve slightly frowned, sensing the severity of the problem.

Yet, this dilemma was not the crisis that made her feel the most endangered.

In truth, it was not like she had no means of resistance.

If she was truly prepared to abandon that True God Avatar, she could self-destruct after entering the trap but before defeat, allowing Eve to keep her secrets.

Even if recognized as the True God Avatar left behind by a predecessor, it wouldn’t matter.

For it would explain why Eve did not use her true form, but rather an avatar.

The True God Avatar of the World Tree.

It was naturally more convenient for communicating with the World Tree Divine Country…

Having such an avatar, there was naturally no need to send the true form.

However, that was merely a stopgap measure.

In fact, this trap was not the key reason for Eve to feel a crisis.

What made her feel truly endangered was what this trap signified…

“Someone suspects my identity…”

Eve’s voice was somewhat heavy.

“It certainly isn’t Uller, the fool. Could it be the God of Darkness and Shadow? Or perhaps the War God behind Uller?”

“But no matter who it is, this is not a good omen.”

Thinking of this, Eve sighed somewhat helplessly.

If she weren’t suspected, it would be fine.

But if she was suspected, and couldn’t clear her name, nor divert the attention of those interested, even if she solved the problem this time, she feared new probes would follow…

After all, the identity of the World Tree was too sensitive…

“I must think of a comprehensive strategy, one that allows me to pass this probe and clear the suspicion from me…”

“But, what should I do?”

Eve slightly frowned.

She still wasn’t ready to overturn the table…

The more she understood the divine war a millennium ago, the more she sensed the gods’ wariness of the World Tree.

If Eve really did overturn the table, for those True Gods of the Heavenly Realm who had already spread their faith to other planes, it was hard to say whether they would choose to protect the Segis World or eliminate her…

Even though the chances were slim, Eve didn’t dare to guarantee that no True God would forcibly descend upon her.

And if that happened, she would truly be in a desperate situation.

“The trap has already been set, I don’t have much time. Even if I wanted to delay, I couldn’t, I must make a decision quickly.”

“This Divine Country is certainly fake. If my guess is correct, it is likely an alternate space capable of unleashing True God powers… If I enter, I will certainly be besieged by Uller and Holder, and possibly held back by a powerful True Divine Artifact…”

“Should I… really send the avatar to take a walk? Abandon the True God Avatar and temporarily solve the problem at hand?”

“If I really step into the trap… the odds of me successfully defeating the opponent are very slim since the underground war has already exposed my trump cards.”

“Perhaps… I should request support from Hela? At least ask her to hold back the God of Darkness and Shadow, Holder…”

“Uller isn’t my match. If Hela can restrain Holder, I have a fighting chance with her.”

“Yet, since Holder has made a move, she must have considered my relationship with Hela. Even if Hela holds her at bay, she would likely have other mythical existences arranged.”

“After all… she seems quite familiar with those Evil Gods.”

“Even if I won, it would just be treating the symptoms, not the cause…”

“What exactly should I do?”

Eve fell into contemplation.

And just as she frowned in thought, amid the depths of her awareness, she suddenly heard a sound of sincere prayer…

“Hmm? A prayer directed straight to me?”

Eve’s heart stirred.
