Chapter 41: Artifact Sprouts
Since the end of the ancient wars, the world's largest battle of high-level creatures has erupted in the skies above the Moonlight Court. As the battle began, the fallen angels were besieged by angels, shimmering gold, and dragons. In particular, the dragon fought against the "water" and dealt a heavy blow to the fallen angel in the sneak attack, so that there was a one-sided situation at the beginning of the battle.
The air is the world's highest level of combat, the dragon roars, the magic is layered, the curved blades are densely intertwined, the white wings and black wings compete, and from time to time the fallen angels who are killed fall from the sky.
The war on the ground is also in full swing, and this farce-like and extremely cruel war has come to an end.
Standing in the sea of flowers, Victor looked at the sky like fireworks, and finally understood why Calamity said: this time the destruction of the World Tree failed......
Defeat was a trivial matter for Calamity, and he had the time and energy to prepare for the second attack.
But for Victor, defeat is something he can't afford.
Why?
Why didn't the dragons keep their promises?
What good is it for them to break their promise to hell? Angels and shimmering people will not accept them with the help of dragons. Only by destroying the World Tree can everyone not get it, and can the balance of the millennium be maintained.
At this time, several more fallen angels were besieged and died.
The warriors of the Moonlight Court pressed over from the other side of the sand wall, and they launched a counter-charge against the sand warrior cavalry under the leadership of the ancient treants.
The battlefield is full of flying flower elves.
"Victor, it's time to join your companions."
The voice sounded behind him, and Victor turned to see Luke in dragon armor standing in the midst of the flowers. There were several black beads upside down in his hand, and the familiar aura made Victor immediately realize the origin of these beads.
"Gluttonous King, are you working for Clear Sky?"
"In a way...... So to speak. ”
"Why, with the pride of a dragon, how can he bow down to an elf?"
Luke put away all the beads and looked at the battlefield in the air: "The head is raised high because there is not enough weight on the head. It is time for the afterglow of the old civilization to shine for thousands of years, and only by lowering its profile and integrating into the new civilization can we continue to move forward.
Arrogance can't be eaten, but this is the most seen by the ancient dragons who have experienced countless inheritances.
Victor, this is not a game you can participate in, and there is a price to pay for crossing the line. ”
"The same is true of the catastrophe, as if I was just insignificant gravel. But there is one thing I don't understand, I have studied the abyss with the apostles for a hundred years, why do you think we don't know the abyss. ”
Luke took out the Greedy Red Dragon Spear, the flames wrapped around the body of the spear, and he walked towards Victor step by step, answering his question at the same time: "Actually, we don't know anything about the abyss, we only know that the abyss is a kind of origin energy that maintains the balance of the world. It cannot be defined, but the Temple of the Abyss imagines the Abyss as you imagine it to be.
Your abyssal appearance is more of a projection of your psyche. Those creatures of the abyss are your twisted humanity. What you call embracing the abyss is actually falling into the abyss in your heart, and that is only a very shallow place in the abyss.
Look at what you look like now, Victor! ”
Luke waved his hand to summon a wall of mirrors in front of Victor.
Victor looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but let out an exclamation, the self in the mirror turned out to be the same as before falling into the abyss. He couldn't help touching his face, and the feeling he had forgotten for a long time filled his eyes with tears.
"Why do that?"
"Because in the Moonlight Royal Court, the abyss must also retreat!"
The wall of the mirror shattered, and the dragon lance pierced out of the scattered lens. The blazing flames swept away, but they couldn't hurt the flowers and plants on the ground.
In the sky, the sun and the moon shine together, and the stars twinkle.
The wind swept across the meadow, bringing up countless petals. The moon rain turned into the sun rain, pulling countless shining silk threads in the air. The crimson tip of the spear evaporated the raindrops it touched, and the flames turned into a dragon's head and roared through the sky.
Victor did not dodge the stabbing gun, but smiled in relief. He stretched out his arms to the tip of the spear, allowing it to pierce his chest.
The air currents swept up the petals with the flames and flew upwards.
Victor's body gradually dissipated to ashes, flying with the fire and flowers.
Luke put away his gun and stretched out his hand, and a black bead landed in his hand.
Now it's just the lone seedling in the Abyss Temple.
Then there was a violent tremor in the earth.
The World Tree in the distance suddenly erupted, its trunk rising rapidly, and new branches and branches growing wildly. The canopy of the trees expanded rapidly, crashing into the battlefield in the air. Then countless green points of light shot out from the canopy of the World Tree in all directions, flying into distant places.
What happened?
Luke sank his consciousness into the spiritual universe to see what was going on on the other side of the World Tree, only to be pulled into the spiritual starry sky.
At this time, a huge map floated at the foot of the clear sky, and countless green beams of light were flying against the map, and then fell on different places.
Luke recognized the map as the wizarding world he was in.
"What is the World Tree doing?" Luke asked as he walked over to Clear Sky and looked at the last green light that was still flying.
】
Clear Sky glanced back at Luke and said with a smile, "Dusk's experiment happened to be attacked by Cataclysm, which prompted the World Tree to activate its own divinity. Those green lights are the seeds of hope sown by the World Tree, and you will have good luck if you pick them up.
Pick a few or not, I know where the nearest seeds of hope have fallen. ”
Luke asked, "What is the seed of hope?" No! What is the divinity of the World Tree? ”
"What stupid!" Clear Sky reached out and flicked it on Luke's forehead, "Didn't you already tell you?" The World Tree sows hope, and its divinity is, of course, hope.
In ancient times, the World Tree brought hope to this barren land. Even if it is destroyed, hope remains here with its remaining roots. This persistence prompted the starry sky to save it from the abyss's hands and wait for a thousand years to recover. ”
"Hope?!"
The divinity represented by the World Tree was somewhat unexpected by Luke, but it made sense.
Clear Sky said: "The divinity of the golden compass of the Shimmering Gold Civilization is authority, the divinity of the Light Sculpture of the Angel Civilization is justice, the divinity of the Red Flame Torch of the Purgatory Civilization is destruction, the divinity of the Rainbow Arch of the Dragon Civilization is magic, and the divinity of the Shadow Civilization Fluorescent Star Cluster is darkness.
The divinity of the World Tree is hope.
There is one thing I would like to remind you...... The shimmering gold people indulge in power and let authority not exist; Angels kill indiscriminately, so that justice does not exist; Demons are afraid of war, so that destruction does not accumulate; The dragon's recklessness makes magic unwise; Shadow exposure makes the darkness true.
It's not that the abyss has taken away the artifact, it's that the artifact has left the civilization they are looking at.
We must not let the Western Frontier where the world tree is swept away lose hope. ”
Clear Sky's decryption allows Luke to finally know the reason why five ancient civilizations lost their artifacts at the same time in the late stages of the ancient war. It turned out that the artifacts were upset when they saw that the clan they were involved in had done something contrary to their divinity, so they discussed it and hid together.
That's fucking up, isn't it?
Luke asked Clear Sky, "What do you mean...... If the five artifacts want to return, can they return at any time? ”
Clear Sky replied, "Hiding is also the protection of the five ancient civilizations. What would happen if a new artifact appeared in this world...... You should be able to guess. ”
"The five artifacts will forgive the unscrupulous descendants to return at the speed of light in order to protect the civilization they are sheltering."
Qingkong smiled: "Actually, after thousands of years of cultivation. The Glittering Man reinvents authority through the World Bank; Although the angels did not carry out justice, they did not kill indiscriminately; The newborn demons are very fierce and bloody in their nests; The dragons picked up their wisdom again; The ShadowClan retreated into the darkness again.
The return of the artifact is really just waiting for an opportunity.
A clash of old and new civilizations is! ”
Luke realized, "What do you mean...... Regardless of whether the World Tree has become an artifact or not, the five hidden artifacts will all return due to the rapid rise of the Terran civilization. ”
The clear sky floated up and circled around Luke: "Yes, your arrival has accelerated the short-range rise of human civilization.
Are you ready to take on five civilizations that have regained their possession of artifacts at once? ”
Having not experienced the major version of Artifact Return, Luke only knew that five artifacts would return, but he didn't know how. He once fantasized about whether there would be a big plot of bravely going into the abyss to rescue the captive artifact, and then a big event that would sensational the world.
I never expected it...... People come when they want to come, and they can leave when they want to.
As long as the Terran civilization develops to a certain extent, the five artifacts will come back together to support the five old civilizations.
It's so embarrassing!
Luke asked Clear Sky, "Since the World Tree has awakened its divinity, does it mean that it has become an artifact?" ”
Clear Sky replied, "Awakening divinity is only the first step. Hold my hand ......"
Clear Sky held out his hand to Luke.
Luke stretched out his hand and held it in confusion: "Then what to do?" ”
"You don't have to do anything, just look at the world under our feet."
Luke and Clear Sky hold hands and float on the giant world map, where green light has landed is flashing with a green halo. One picture after another emerges, and some seeds of hope have taken root and sprouted underneath; Some seeds of hope are picked up to bring good luck to those who are full of hope in their hearts. Some were eaten by wild beasts, and the Seed of Hope opened the way for them to transcendence......
A green glow appeared between Luke and the clear sky, and a young green bud protruded from the light.
Luke instantly understood: "The World Tree is collecting information about the world!" And what is this bud? ”
Clear Sky stretched out his hands to pick up the tree buds and handed them to Luke, "This is the artifact that the World Tree is bringinging. It is still very weak and needs to receive the sun's rays to grow quickly. When it becomes a real artifact depends on how you cultivate it. ”
Luke stretched out his hands, and the green light that wrapped around the bud dissipated, and the bud fell into the palm of his hand.
Then the roots of the bud split into two legs, the two branches became hands, and then the eyes, mouth, nose, and ears grew on the trunk one by one. The tree bud turned into a small tree man, it stretched its waist, and the two young buds on its head looked cute.
Luke didn't expect that he just wanted an artifact, but in the blink of an eye, he became a daddy.
It's so small and tender, I can crush it if I'm not careful.
Luke carefully held the little tree man, and said to the clear sky in embarrassment: "It's good to be raised by you, it's better to put this tree man here and raise it, anyway, you are so big here, one sheep is herded, and two sheep are also herded." ”
Seeing Luke's embarrassment, Clear Sky laughed, "Such a cute little thing, I really want to keep it here, but which tree have you ever seen grow up according to the moon?" The moon can only occasionally help you take care of your children, and only the sun can raise towering trees that are not afraid of wind and rain. ”
The truth is this, but it doesn't solve the problem.
"What should I feed it?"
"Just let it follow you." Clear Sky stretched out his finger and teased the little treeman: "Don't underestimate it because it's small, it's a very powerful little thing." ”
The anxious little tree man opened his mouth and bit Qingkong's finger fiercely, but was easily tripped by Qingkong. The little tree man got up and climbed up Luke's arm and onto his shoulder, burrowing into his collar to reveal only a small head.
Two leaves dangled from the little treeman's head, whispering something in Luke's ear.
Luke could tell that the little tree man was supposed to speak the World Tree language, but because the World Tree language had not yet been developed, he couldn't understand it.
But the spiritual exchange made Luke understand what the little tree man meant.
Luke said to Clear Sky, "This is the Spirit Starry Sky, I don't have any mystery items, do you have them there?" ”
"There's exactly one." Clear Sky reaches out to summon the Book of Calamity. The pages of the Book of Calamity flip and a mask pops out of it. Clear Sky grabbed the mask and threw it to Luke: "This is probably the spirit mask you snatched from Lady Mihir when you first met her, and you kept it in the Book of Calamity, and you almost forgot about it." ”
The spirit mask can strengthen people's mental power, improve the control of energy, and is a very good mysterious prop.
It was only because the wearing and removal of the spirit mask was troublesome and the side effects were so great that Mrs. Mihir did not remove the spirit mask for three years and endured three years of suffering.
Luke catches the spirit mask thrown by Clear Sky.
The little tree man recited the language of the World Tree, and a green light shone on the spiritual mask. The spirit mask, which can only be activated by the secret spell of secret arts, is in an active state.
Luke held the spirit mask close to his face, and the spirit mask instantly attracted it. The mask covered the upper half of his face, including his eyes, and the purple tearstone on his forehead shone brightly.
Now Luke's mental power is very different from that of Lady Mihil, and the increase in the spirit mask has raised his mental power to an unprecedented height. And there are no side effects, there is no need to distract yourself from the pain caused by the spirit mask, and the full effect of the amplification can be brought into full play.
At the same time, the enhancement of energy manipulation is beyond Luke's knowledge of the spirit mask.
Lightning passed through the starry sky.
The little tree man clenched his fists to cheer Luke on, teaching the elf who had just bullied him a lesson.
Luke, who was full of mental strength, was full of fighting spirit: "Fight? ”
Clear Sky showed a triumphant smile: "Fight! ”
