The Fallen God Cult's plan, which had been brewing for so long and had consumed so much manpower and material resources, ended up with only such an ordinary name as a puppet, and it had no momentum, it was too ordinary.
However, when the puppet plan was forcibly activated by the mad king's order, the entire sea of trees began to emit a large breathtaking and strong magic fluctuation, which was like a full-level tornado suddenly blowing in the sea, and the overwhelming energy fluctuations spread out like a monstrous wave that went straight to the sky, as if it was about to envelop the whole world.
This fluctuation far exceeded the power that shocked the East plane when the Book of Surrender of All Worlds was presented, and even Bai Yi had to admit that he had underestimated the courage of the Fallen God Cult a little, and it was no wonder that the stars in the sky would change their trajectory for it.
With the launch of the main magic circle, those small magic circles that were judged to be meaningless and interfering by Bai Yi before were also activated one by one, and began to spread all kinds of uncomfortable atmospheres in the forest, so all kinds of animals in the forest fled out like crazy, if you look down from the highest heavenly dome, you can see that the Eternal Sea of Trees is like an ant nest filled with boiling water at this time, and animals of all sizes are running wildly.
Mr. Xiong, who had been following the development of the situation, also changed color, looked at Bai Yi with a sad face, and asked, "It's started?" ”
"Yes, here we go." Bai Yi replied, "It's really an exaggeration, I'm afraid this kind of power is really beyond the power of manpower to stop..."
Fortunately, however, he still had a vague sense of some dissonance in this huge fluctuation, like a tenor singing an imposing song, but there were a few syllables in the middle that were out of tune, much weaker, and became an obvious flaw. Thinking that this should be the effect of his previous series of bombardments, the other party did not launch the arrangement under all circumstances, and there may be some room for maneuvering.
"He's driving those animals, why is he doing that?" Mr. Xiong also noticed the birds fleeing out in the night, and asked with some doubts.
Bai Yi shook his head, he still didn't understand why the other party wanted to drive wild animals.
Mr. Bear didn't get too attached to this question, because a weak voice suddenly came from the grass next to him, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a great druid who had become a sapling? He said to the two of them in a dying voice, "They... At... Extracting the life of the forest... Save..."
Mr. Bear was startled, and quickly stretched out his paw to hold the sapling in his palm, and wrapped the last wisp of the Great Druid's consciousness with the power of the artifact, and then turned on the vision of nature again, only to let out a scream, and fell to the ground wailing and rolling, rolling like he had been stung in the nose while stealing honey.
"Sea of trees... The life of the sea of trees..."Although Mr. Xiong rolled into a ball of hairballs, he still had a firm will to remind Bai Yi: "They are sacrificing the life of this sea of trees!" ”
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, and also expanded his spiritual power perception, just like before, all kinds of information rushed in, but all of them were similar to the screams of human beings before death, and they were still gradually decreasing and disappearing, indicating that countless trees were dying, and the colors that were originally in his sight were also changing towards dead gray.
What's more, no one on his side seems to be able to think of a way, and the Void Walkers are actually helpless about it?
And at the same time that Bai Yi was in trouble, the mad king who made the final decision left his secret office and stood on the rooftop of the palace, the black-robed advisor did not follow him like a shadow, but there was a half-elf wearing human armor, not as handsome as an elf, but closer to an ordinary human being waiting for him on the rooftop.
"Your Majesty, has the plan begun?" The half-elf had obviously been waiting here for a long time, and he was not called the Mad King but the Lord, but His Majesty, which also showed that he was not actually a fallen god.
"Yes, here we go." The expression on the mad king's face at this time was more complicated, there was reluctance and pity, but it was more of a relaxed relief and a determination to never look back, and there was even a little expectation hidden?
"I told you that I would take this country to its greatest glory and create a world that surpasses anyone else." The Mad King continued, "And you choose to believe me, to believe in me, the leader of the cult in your eyes. ”
The half-elf pondered for a moment, but did not reply.
"Gru, in fact, we have discussed a long time ago, why our empire is stuck in a bottleneck of stagnation, why is it difficult for us to advance an inch? Neither of us was convinced of that discussion, but I promised to show you my choice and the change it made, and now it's time for it all to begin. The Mad King continued.
"It's just a pity that the sea of trees, this is the cradle that gave birth to our elves." Gru, the half-elven general of the Elven Empire who wielded the most military power, replied that he had always been a loyal supporter of the Mad King, standing firmly by his side with all kinds of foolish and loyal acts, and that he was also the most radical vanguard of the secular faction, and that many of the Mad King's actions would not have been possible without his help, let alone such a grand cause.
"Yes, the sea of trees is the cradle that gave birth to us, but the elves will eventually grow up and leave their swaddling clothes, and now is the time for us to take the first step." The Mad King said proudly.
But just when he was impassioned and full of emotion here, the hearts of the two demigod-level powerhouses of the elf clan who were familiar with him were filled with angry flames, which came from being betrayed by the Mad King - with the start of the puppet plan, they felt that the power they had painstakingly accumulated for many years was pouring towards the altar they were desperately guarding through the iconic black flame tattoo of the Fallen God Cult, and then they realized that the Mad King was going to sacrifice them to make up for the missing parts of the plan...
What's even more infuriating is that they can't resist at all, the black flame tattoo on their bodies is not only a channel to steal their power, but it is also burning like a flame, imprisoning their bodies to death...
The Morning Star Sage forcibly withstood the severe pain of the flames, used his last will and strength, and chanted the last forbidden spell towards the Mad King's palace, but before the forbidden spell could be seen by the Mad King, it was blocked by the multiple protective enchantments that had already been placed around the palace.
However, the half-elf Gru sensed some clues and asked tentatively, "Morning Star Sage?" ”
The Mad King nodded, "The plan needs his strength, it needs his dedication. ”
"Isn't that too much to pay?" A look of dismay appeared on Gru's face.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the plan is successful, the demigod level will lose its meaning, and this is the time for them to contribute the last value." The Mad King replied coldly.
Compared with the unwilling but helpless anger of the elven powerhouse, the few people who came over from the demon side seemed quite calm, especially the bald head Serren who took the lead, he didn't seem to care about being treated as a sacrifice at all, but showed a sneer that succeeded in his treacherous scheme, lowered his voice and said: "Jiji, everything is going well, everything is perfectly interpreted according to the script..."
At his feet, there was a flowing river of dark red blood, and a large number of corpses, all the others who had been guarding the altar had been killed by him.
"Let me, then, add the last fire to your cause, Your Excellency the Mad King." The bald demon sneered, reached out and stabbed into his chest, and pulled out an organ from there, but it was not the heart it should be, but an eyeball that was constantly turning and full of uneven blood vessels on the outside! It looks extremely disgusting.
Selren threw his eyeballs and fell into the depths of the altar, and a large area of evil green fire representing demons suddenly erupted, and began to spread around the altar as the center.
And the bald demon who had a big wound on his chest did not die directly, but his body suddenly burned, and it also turned into a green fire, converging into a wave of flames that seemed to spread around.
At this time, the mad king did not know this, he looked at the sea of trees that was gradually changing from dark green in the night to the gray of death in the darkness with longing and expectation, and his heart was full of emotion.
And his stop was directly to the early morning when the first rays of dawn sprinkled onto the earth, as the light gradually tore through the darkness, the sea of trees appeared in front of everyone again, but it was no longer the peace and tranquility of the usual days, but a black land that had completely fallen into dead silence.
And in the center of the sea of trees, that is, the most core and most critical, where the most defensive forces are arranged, there is a huge monster more than twenty meters tall, it has a rough human shape, it looks like a giant made of tree branches, standing on this black land that has completely died, like the king here.
This thing is the final result of the entire plan of the Fallen God Cult, which they call a puppet existence.
"It's equivalent to saying that after tossing for a long time, I ended up making a huge wooden robot? It's really a serious big wood, huh? Bai Yifei was in the sky, noticed the very conspicuous giant, and complained with interest.
Although he was powerless to stop the whole mutation at night, he didn't seem to have any loss on his side, except for the elves' tree houses were gone, and he had already woken up to see that the sea of trees was gone, crying that his head was about to explode, and no other damage was found for the time being.
"Isn't this the last thing I'm going to deal with?" Bai Yi said with some disdain, "It's okay, it's time to tell them that the giant robot is no longer suitable for this version!" ”
