GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

The wood elves think that no Warrog paragons exist. They are angry with Warrogs and would like to harm them in one way or the other but they can't. They have to remain content with the knowledge that the Warrogs can never rise up again. Imagine their surprise when they found Fenrir. 

The fact that Fenrir has existed since ancient times has not made the wood elves amendable to the cooperation of the two races. He was supposed to be dead. They were told by the representatives of the fountain of life that all the paragons of the Warrogs were dead. But it turned out that the wood elves were living a lie. 

The trust of the wood elves in the fountain of life and its representative is at an all-time low. It doesn't help the Vampires claim that a lot of the ancient paragons were alive until recently. While there is no certain proof of that claim, the fact that an ancient Emperor is still alive, or worse the revelation that all the ancient paragons were alive until recently will invalidate the reason for the civil war among the wood elves.

The major reason why the dark elves seceded from the wood elves is that the dark elves wanted to use their divine ability to siphon life from the Warrogs. The dark elves couldn't devour power from anything like the Warrogs can but they can absorb power from living things. So they wanted to keep the paragons alive and use them as sources of power. 

The ancient paragons were to be turned into living engines to farm power. But the Heralds of the Fountain of Life said that it wasn't allowed and that the paragons should be killed. The imposition of their moral views on the dark elves made them resist and separate from the surface. 

So the revelation that the Heralds actually lied is not a good thing at all. The situation has only gotten worse when the fountain of life kept the existence of an Executioner secret only to reveal it now that the Executioner has fallen into the hands of the Supreme of Carnage. 

She and Fenrir have been kept hidden for their safety since then. This mountain range has been hidden by the fountain of life so both the Vampires and the wood elves won't be able to find her easily. She won't be able to show herself until the issue with the wood elves has been resolved. So she and Fenrir continued to wait. They didn't receive this go-ahead until 12 years later.

Back To Ragnarok.

He is running for his life. His clawed feet scrambled around the ground seeking purchase as multiple explosions rang around him. The ground beneath his feet is breaking up so it is difficult to run. He also can't run in a straight path or he will make it easy for him to be targeted. He has to zig-zag to avoid the vines erupting from the ground and trying to trap him.

The Vines are responsible for making the ground so perilous. Their forceful movement through it is breaking it apart. If they manage to snag him once, then he will be done for. He doesn't have a divine sense anymore so the best he can do is zig zag. But that's the least of his problems. 

The threat of the Vines is slowing him down. It is making his pursuers catch up to him. There are plant soldier puppets with all sorts of weapons chasing after him. There are also green-skinned wood elves in the sky flying after him in pursuit. He is surrounded by danger on all sides. The Vines are the least of his problems. 

"Keep running. They are almost here." The voice in his head yelled.

He kept quiet and kept running. He is running as fast and as carefully as he can. He would surely be able to escape faster if he could fly. Unfortunately, he can't. Not in his currently scrambled state. So the wood elves are gaining on him. 

Kings of law are currently chasing him. He is nowhere fast enough to escape or strong enough to fight them. But he ran anyway because he didn't want to die.

Behind him is an ocean of weaponized plants. In the front lines of his pursuers are the Vines. There are so many of them that they look like a large wave rushing to submerge him. It might as well be a large moving forest of vines seeking to submerge him.

Each vine is as thick as a tree and they are surely strong enough to snap him in two if they get a hold of him. And there are thousands of them rushing after him. They tear up the ground and make the earth quake as they rush after him.

Behind the wave of vines are the plant soldier puppets. They are trees with limbs and wings that enable them to run or fly. There are tens of thousands of them. Each one is no more than 2 meters tall so they don't look intimidating to his 50-meter figure despite the shields and spears or swords that they are carrying with them. But their strength lay in their numbers. He will be doomed if they surround him. 

Behind the plant soldiers are the wood elves themselves. They are very far away from the plant soldiers. The Vines and plant soldiers were created at the edge of their domain. The wood elves are very far from him so they created the Vines to attack him from afar. They wouldn't need the Vines soon because they are quickly catching up to him. But they still have the Vines and that's very bad for him because the closer they get to him, the closer the Vines are to him.

The demon god encouraged him again, "Just a little more and they will get here."

He didn't need to be told for him to notice when help finally arrived.
