All the few runes under Rehvka's control within the force field exploded instantly, causing the entire tower to shake for a few minutes.
The elven heroine couldn't understand the reason behind that act from Rehvka. The elf had practically mastered ninety-eight percent of everything; destroying those few runes would indeed delay the time it would take for her to take control over everything again, as she would have to recreate those runes. However, the cost of that extra time was that now the elf could enter the force field and eliminate Rehvka's group easily, making no sense in the end. Little did she know that it also allowed Zane and Gael to come out as well.
Going a little back in the past, the elf felt that something very strange, beyond her knowledge, was happening. Naturally, the reason for that was Gael and Zane's arrival. It's just that the elf didn't know that at that time.
At that time, she was still holding the force field, waiting for her army of robots to eliminate the demon army. Let's not forget that the robots were a creation of her dwarves, but they didn't know that the robots had long since eliminated the demon army and even gained sentience years later. But it was during that time that the divine power of the queen suddenly named her the new heroine.
If she had received this power earlier, she would have been able to easily leave the tower and maybe even forcibly remove the hidden demon lord in the tower and kill it. So, why did it take so long for her to receive that power and become the new heroine? This doubt was answered a few seconds after receiving that power. She received a divine message!
It wasn't words but rather a feeling and a command. It was as clear as receiving a message directly in the mind. In her own words, the elf formulated the command: 'Eliminate the invader, use all available means.'
After that moment, it was easy to locate the 'invader' thanks to the divine power of the queen the elf had just received. However, her amazement did not diminish. She saw the target was a robot, but at the same time, it didn't seem like a creation of her two dwarf companions. It looked as if an evil entity had used various parts of robots to create that robotic chimera. In the end, she almost lost her life facing that entity.
Now, back in the present, the elf was extremely cautious. The fact that Rehvka destroyed those runes not only didn't make her happy but made her sense of caution increase instead. 'Should I invade the force field? Is it possible that there's something that can prevent me from completing the mission given by the queen and eliminating the invaders?'
However, her doubts were dispelled when she felt the fluctuations outside the force field. 'It's that demon and... that evil robot.'
So, suddenly, an explosion made the tower violently shake, and the aged expression of the elf changed completely. She clearly noticed the robot using something, and... he managed to destroy a divine orb!
Then, an inexplicable fury emerged from the depths of her soul, hitting her mind and nullifying much of her rationality. Now, in that state, there were no doubts. Even if a large contingent of the demon army or any other threat within the force field was waiting for her, she would still go out and eliminate the invader.

"The priority is to immediately eliminate this heretical invader as quickly as possible!" she shouted, unleashing all her power and synchronizing all the orbs in the tower without holding back.
Outside the force field, the robotic chimera and Rehvka floated a little distance from the tower calmly.
Rehvka was deeply in doubt if the elf would really come out to face them like this. In the battles he fought in the past, she had devised several safe plans, but heroes were cautious and cunning. Until the last moment, Rehvka believed she was at an advantage, but they were always one step ahead, which ultimately resulted in her defeat.
In this situation, with no information about what was inside the force field and with all the strangeness surrounding his master, she thought anxiously: 'Why would she just attack them directly? The master used this strange weapon and destroyed an orb with divine power. That was something beyond her control and prediction unfolding; definitely, she wouldn't come ou...'
Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted when a golden domain covered a vast area, immediately trapping them inside.
Zane then spoke harshly, knowing what Rehvka was thinking. "Brat, I've fought these hero scums so many times I stopped counting. The influence and submission to the queen are so strong that, by causing any small scratch on something of hers, they completely lose rationality. You're dealing with lunatic maniacs, not cultivators."
Rehvka trembled slightly and responded. "The master is so cool... and knows so much..."
Zane almost spat blood... if he had a body. Gael wanted to laugh out loud, but the enemy was practically in front of them. They quickly focused on moving the Qi within the thirteen soul gems.
The next moment, an unrecognizable figure descended from the top of the tower. The elf now had wrinkled and withered skin. Her hair was white and lifeless. She seemed like she could close her eyes and die from old age at any moment. But, in contrast, the whole tower vibrated, and a golden, sacred, and infinite power enveloped her.
Zane and Gael smiled internally. So what if she possessed power far above theirs? They had faced desperate battles at this level several times. This time, they knew very well what they were up against and were prepared.
The elf observed from above those two figures standing still and snorted. The sacred sword formed again in her hands. But this time, the runic blade was sharp and seemingly perfect, the full power of the orbs in the tower greatly enhancing its capacity.
All the laws of the universe seemed to vibrate in unison with that sword, so she raised it high. That simple movement caused the nearby space to shatter.
'Now!' Zane and Gael spoke mentally.
Suddenly, a dense Yin and Yang power exploded around the robot, freeing them from the constraints of the golden domain. Then, a gigantic hole opened in the middle of the robotic chimera.
From above, the elf didn't seem to care about that movement, and as she was about to unleash her attack, she felt her sacred sword halt in mid-air. Immediately, a cold sweat ran down her back. The next moment, something soundless but with great vibrations made the golden domain tremble slightly. Then, the unbelievable happened.
Half of the domain instantly collapsed without any sound, as if a black hole had emerged directly from the void in front of the heroine. Only after that came the impact.
BOOM!!!
Destructive sound vibrations reverberated; they were in space, and they were not triggered by the movement of air but by the vibration of the celestial laws that covered the entire universe. Thus, all the cultivators living in it felt that impact, turning their minds upside down.
It all lasted for several seconds, and the entire robotic bodies of Zane and Gael turned red with their iron plates twisted. They looked like a large iron bar just pulled from a blacksmith's forge. That was the full power attack of ten soul gems at maximum in a single shot, created by a weapon designed by them from scratch!
The elf was just a mortal cultivator, using power from a being even above the divine realms. In addition to the fact that they had fought countless times against heroes, they could assert without fear that they were much more knowledgeable about the power of golden runes and the sacred sword than this elf.
This heroine was like a child who had barely learned to walk, attempting to lift a large two-handed divine sword. It was no use having such great brute power if she couldn't have even minimal control over it and its capabilities.
A simple single shot at full strength was made at a vulnerable point in that domain. Of course, the fact that the shot blended with the laws of the world and became impossible to fully sense helped a lot.
But, in the end... despite the success, they didn't get excited. That was just the first impression.
