The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

After passing through a dense forest, Viktor found himself before a dark rocky terrain.

While the surroundings were pitch black, behind the layers of rocks lay a pool of phosphorescent blue water.

Countless fireflies, seemingly oblivious to day and night, flickered with green light.

"We're here. This is the Moon's Holy Spring," Vinia announced.

Viktor calmly gazed at the scene before him.

The lake surface was perfectly still, remaining mirror-like even as the breeze rustled the surrounding wild grass.

Blue phosphorescence glowed from the lake's depths, like wandering souls endlessly drifting.

Silver-white waterfalls crashed into the pool in great sheets, yet the two ends of the lake were like different worlds - one absolutely serene, the other constantly churned by the waterfall's force.

In the pitch-black sky hung what appeared to be a silver crescent moon with a faint yellow glow, its single beam of moonlight falling silently into the lake.

This moon seemed permanently fixed in the sky.

This land existed in eternal night.

Never seeing daylight.

Seeing this, Vinia explained:

"The Moon's Holy Spring constantly absorbs lunar essence to maintain its pure energy."

"Every day, designated elves collect water from the Spring to water the Divine Tree, allowing it to create new elves."

"However..."

At this point, Vinia glanced at Cocotte sitting on her cloud.

"With the Queen absent, no matter how much Spring water is used, the Divine Tree can no longer produce new elves."

Cocotte turned her face away guiltily, avoiding Vinia's gaze.

Still, she declared righteously:

"You saw earlier - the Divine Tree is no good thing."

"If I had stayed there, I probably would have been drained dry."

But Viktor's next words stunned them both:

"No, the Divine Tree is a good thing."

Hearing this, Cocotte and Vinia froze in bewilderment.

Viktor continued unhurriedly:

"I'm not talking about the Yade Divine Tree."

"But rather, the Divine Tree itself."

From a tool's perspective, the Divine Tree's existence was quite necessary.

It could collect the elves' natural energy and, when watered by the Moon's Holy Spring, transform that natural energy into new elves.

Otherwise, trying to grow an elf naturally would be nearly impossible.

So the Nature Spirit created two tools in nature to allow the elven race to reproduce freely.

One was the Divine Tree, and the other was the Moon's Holy Spring.

But as a tool, the Divine Tree's fatal mistake was developing its own consciousness.

It gave itself a name - "Yade."

The name itself wasn't important.

What mattered was that with this name came consciousness.

It became dissatisfied with its status, unwilling to merely serve as a production tool.

So it forcibly bound the elves.

It changed the natural way where all elves could reproduce using natural energy, making it so only the Elven Queen could create new elves.

It wanted to carefully select over thousands of years, always choosing the strongest elf.

Using her talents as a blueprint to create all elves, to generate purer natural energy for itself.

It had almost succeeded - it had even completed its thought control over the elven race.

But unfortunately, such grand plans often fail midway.

Because Viktor had arrived.

"Apart from some special reproduction methods, elves using the Divine Tree to reproduce is the most common way."

In the future, Cocotte would help players kill the Yade Divine Tree and use natural energy to reshape a new Divine Tree.

And a Divine Tree without self-awareness would be purely a production tool.

Which meant...

"As long as elves desire it, they don't actually need an Elven Queen to reproduce."

The Elven Queen was merely a forced creation of the Yade Divine Tree.

Just to make its actions seem more reasonable.

These words left Vinia completely stunned.

"You mean...?"

Viktor stood with his hands in his pockets, taking in Vinia's shock.

"That's right, even you can do it."

"Use your own natural energy to create new elves."

As long as nature existed, elves would not go extinct.

The elves' worry about Cocotte's absence leading to their extinction had nothing to do with Cocotte herself.

It was all because of the Yade Divine Tree.

Because the Yade Divine Tree had forcibly bound the Elven Queen, making elves believe only she could give birth to new elves.

Over thousands of years, the elves' thinking had become completely fixed.

At this moment, Viktor lowered his head, looking at his status panel.

Vega's power had recovered nearly half.

"That should be enough."

As his words fell, a green stripe climbed up Viktor's windbreaker.

In that instant, Vinia's body began to tremble violently.

Once again, she sensed a Calamity's power from Viktor.

But this power was completely different from Guledon's.

Was it... wood?

She looked at Viktor in disbelief.

If Viktor hadn't forbidden kneeling, she would have already fallen to her knees before this man.

At that moment, a pure energy radiated a green light.

As if drawn and infused by this power,

The Moon's Holy Spring slowly rose.

The blue lake water floated up towards the sky, forming a phosphorescent silver stream that flew through the forest and into the heavens.

Watching this scene, Vinia was both shocked and intensely curious.

"This is..."

What was he trying to do?

Seeing this, Cocotte's eyes lit up, as if she had already guessed.

Viktor stood with his hands in his pockets and said calmly:

"We can go back now."

"What happens next will change your elven race's thousand-year-old fixed mindset."

...

Leon sat on a huge burnt tree root.

She had stayed behind to watch over these elves.

If they tried to do anything extreme, Leon could take out the weapon Lia had given her to intimidate these poor elves.

Meanwhile, she also had to look after Viktor's strange one-eyed crow.

One hand rested on her leg, stroking the feathers of the crow sprawled across her thigh.

Vega lay limp on Leon's leg, motionless except for the slight rise and fall of its tiny body as it breathed.

Leon raised her head, looking at the sky.

The natural disaster caused by that beast that could only be called a 'Calamity' had finally stopped.

But that natural energy continued to flow endlessly across this continent.

The elves were caught between joy and sorrow - some delighted, others grieving.

They were still immersed in the return of natural energy.

Among them, only one elf stood apart from the rest.

That was Leon.

She felt absolutely nothing about the Divine Tree's death.

Even after the Divine Tree's death, when natural energy burst forth, none of it was meant for her.

She could neither create nor absorb natural energy.

She could only sit quietly, watching the remaining elves express their various emotions of joy and sorrow.

Her heart was as still as the Moon's Holy Spring, like dead water.

Her former hatred towards the elves seemed to have dissipated.

She had come to understand:

These elves had no independent thoughts, they simply blindly and fanatically worshipped the Divine Tree.

Under the Divine Tree's influence, they naturally rejected her as an "outsider" without a family name.

But it didn't matter anymore.

Apart from sharing elven features with them, Leon had never really considered herself a true elf.

More importantly, she had another identity.

She was Lia's subordinate, a retainer of the Kravina family.

Now, her surname was Kravina.

At this moment, the crow on her leg rolled over.

"That was quite insane."

"This is the first time I've experienced being completely drained like this."

Leon suddenly froze, looking down as if she had seen something incredibly shocking.

Her emerald pupils trembled as she stared intently at the crow on her leg.

The crow... spoke?

The crow slowly stood up from her leg, pecking at its feathers before raising its head to fix its single eye on Leon, meeting her gaze:

"Young lady, you look curious?"

Vega suddenly broke into a mischievous smile, giggling:

"An elf who cannot channel natural energy."

"I've been interested in you for a while."

Leon sat stunned, but her expression remained serious.

"What... exactly are you?"

"Want to know the reason behind your condition?"

The crow's seductive voice gradually rose in Leon's ears.

Sitting on the tree root, hearing its words, even her breathing became somewhat rapid.

"Could it be, you know why I..."

"Shh."

Vega looked at Leon with a smile, saying casually:

"If you want to know more, we'll talk later."

"For now, let's watch a good show."

As if to verify the crow's words, a silver-white spring water accompanied by green energy came spiraling down from the sky.

It passed through the quiet yet restless air, tracing an extremely mysterious arc in the sky.

Like a graceful dragon, it gradually descended.

The elves watched in shock and confusion as the silver spring water appeared from thin air.

"The Moon's Holy Spring!?"

"How is this possible? How can the Moon's Holy Spring appear here out of nowhere?"

The holy water circled above their heads, gradually falling towards the burnt ground, watering the deep soil.

Soon, a green sprout pushed through the soil again, stretching its fragile yet vibrant body.

Before the shocked eyes of countless elves, the sprout grew rapidly.

Numerous thick vines suddenly shot up from the ground, completely engulfing that tender green and lifting it high into the clouds.

As the green shoot was lifted, it transformed into a tall tree crown.

It extended hard wooden branches that slowly merged with the vines below.

The elves were completely dumbfounded:

"The Divine Tree has been resurrected!?"

Leon also stood frozen in place.

But unlike the other elves' shock,

The moment the giant tree grew, a black magic array invisible to the naked eye was constructed from the ground, rising up and attaching itself to the Divine Tree.

Leon noticed all of this.

As if... it was deliberately letting her notice.

She looked down at the black crow.

Similarly, a flash of darkness passed through the crow's single eye.

That ghostly voice rose again in her ear:

"Did you see it?"

Hee hee hee hee hee hee—

An extremely sinister laugh echoed in her ears.

In that moment, a sharp pupil flashed through Leon's mind.

As if it had completely peered into her very soul.

Leaving only a voice gradually echoing in the depths of her heart.

"Keep this secret for me."

"This story is about to welcome a completely new ending."
