Elliog confronts Fisher, asserting her possessiveness and declaring war on Paimon's influence. Despite the intense moment, Fisher tries to de-escalate, reminding Elliog they are in Helair's house and that allies are needed to face incoming threats. Elliog hesitates, and Fisher uses the distraction to ask about her nature, confirming she loses her conflict-instigating tendencies around him. The conversation then shifts to an ancient elf named Gui.

Elliog listened silently, then sat on him, touched his own chin, and said,

"I don’t know much about Gui. What you mentioned is quite distant for me... but I’m more familiar with Master Tao. She maintained her form due to the uniqueness of her power even after the Elf King’s reincarnation, meaning she never reincarnated, and as you said, she killed many Transferees..."

Then, her action of touching her chin abruptly stopped, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became increasingly intriguing,

"However, as the saying goes, you can’t walk by the river without your shoes getting wet. Even someone as powerful as her made a mistake. One Transferee, under the protection of some mysterious existence, grew strong and not only successfully killed the World Tree but also caused her to be polluted by chaotic power and transform into an outright monster."

"...Monster?"

Fisher furrowed his brow and hurriedly asked,

"What on earth happened?"

"It’s not entirely her fault. Master Tao is one of the few decent people I know among the Elves. She genuinely cared about the affairs of her race, and unlike an Angel, she loved her Mother deeply. So when the World Tree was polluted by that Life-related chaos, she made a decision none of us expected... She killed and captured that Transferee, and attempted to read and understand the chaotic power on him, hoping to penetrate the chaos and use a poison-to-poison technique to save the World Tree..."

Fisher’s pupils narrowed slightly. As someone with the Completion Manual, he understood what Elliog meant very well.

It meant that Master Tao, to save the World Tree and comprehend the chaos to counter its damage, actually chose to read the Completion Manual?

"...And then?"

"Of course, it failed, or else the World Tree might have lasted a bit longer. Since then, she’s always been the owner of that damned Completion Manual, which eroded her mind and made her somewhat unstable. I heard her sister Gui went back to help stabilize her condition until the Mythical War thousands of years later..."

At this point, Elliog pinched Fisher’s chest muscles and added,

"But by the time of the Mythical War, I had long begun to overcome my nature, and did not participate in the war at all, only knowing some third-party information. Because without the protection of the World Tree, and with the Holy Land frequently initiating wars, she, as the leader of the Elves at the time, was under tremendous pressure... Although she used the Life chaotic power she obtained and her already powerful rank, her power at the time was comparable to a Demigod. But overusing the chaotic power also made her already unstable mind increasingly abnormal, and she began to act insane, expanding the war further...

"By the way, aren’t you familiar with Solomon, who had his death taken? At that time, his death was taken by Agares to create the initial Death Rune. That Death Rune was commissioned to Agares by others to deal with Master Tao, who had become a chaotic monster. Haha, it’s said that at that time, she was so exaggerated that even the power of the Heavenly Lock couldn’t kill her, she was a real monster... just as hard to kill as your previous enemy."

This was the first time Fisher heard about the secrets of the past, which ignited his curiosity, prompting him to continue asking,

"Who were those ’others’?"

"Not sure, Agares never said, but apparently a guest from the Spirit Realm."

Fisher’s mind still had some confusion, for instance, the war Master Tao was involved in should have taken place mainly in their homeland, the Tree Continent, or else they wouldn’t have sunk the entire continent. Logically, it shouldn’t have been related to the Demons hidden under the South Continent and active in the Western Continent, and Agares should have had no reason to get involved...

But soon, a clue he previously knew rushed into his mind.

He remembered Erwin went to the Demon Dynasty to seek clues related to the treasure, and why he ultimately got answers from Agares.

Logically, how could a Demon God be tied to the knowledge of the Completion Manual, but now he seemed to understand how they were possibly connected.

Fisher looked at Elliog in front of him and tentatively asked,

"Could Agares have chosen to get involved in this matter to obtain the chaotic power on Master Tao?"

"Wow, you guessed right, doesn’t it sound incredible?"

As if rewarding a child for answering correctly, Elliog kissed his throat, then smiled and said,

"But as you already have a deep understanding of us, you should know, she did it entirely to satisfy her own [nature]. Her curiosity manifested as an almost obsessive fervor for new things, thus she understood the composition of most powers in the world... and the painful part of this nature was that she couldn’t be satisfied with the familiar and the old, which meant she was compelled to constantly seek out anything that piqued her interest...

"Eventually, she successfully struck a deal with the mysterious existence from the Spirit Realm. Master Tao died due to Agares’s Death Rune, and at the moment of her death, the Mythical Species Elf, which had lost its Demigod protection and struggled on for so long, also perished in an irretrievable war. Agares ultimately managed to reclaim something new to satisfy her nature for a long time, and we Demons seem to adapt better to that thing than Master Tao, anyway, from what I see Agares is quite normal, except for developing a habit of loving to eat her own fingers..."
