Chapter 396

"……"

"……"

The Mors People listening below looked at each other in blank dismay, doubt and incomprehension intertwining in everyone's heart.

"Then, what is the Meaning of this?"

Finally, a leader stepped forward, taking the First-mover Advantage to break the Silence, and slowly Speaking: "Do you mean we all have to migrate, leave Zheli?"

"——Then……"

"——All go into that parallel World?"

The Mors People's Gaze instantly focused on that female individual wearing a black hat, dressed in a black robe.

Her image was like a Witch from a fairy tale, Mysterious and awe-inspiring. At her Side, there were four identical female individuals, they quietly stood there.

Although Quiet and still, they seemed to possess a special aura of their own.

The other races around Subconsciously cleared a large open space, casting Complex and awe-filled glances.

It was precisely her who reigned as the Arihyaku-shu's Alliance Lord, the legendary "Six Sisters", said to each possess Ability surpassing all Arihyaku-shu.

Because her Designated Title is——"NO. 1SavingSystemToEarth (Earth Preservation System)"……

Probably the Old Era's Humans, at the arrival of the thorough end of the century, specially Manufactured humanoid weapons……

Their mission was even if the Star that served as mother body died, to continue protecting or governing the dead Star with Absolute powerful Strength, preserving Earth's system.

Of Course.

Now perhaps should be called Five Sisters.

Because in the late stage of that great war back then, the youngest Younger Sister "Judgment" was defeated by Knights, a dying Strike creating a Bottomless great fault at the Continent's center.

The remaining five also after that, thus went missing without trace.

Until now this world-destroying calamity Arrival, only then appeared again.

"Naturally not."

Jewel Old Man solemnly Speaking, sturdy build and Face/Countenance, unable to conceal his slightly aged weary voice.

Bijiao vigorous in old age, his bearing robust and sharp, yet also cannot change "old" is the main body Objective Fact, this former Magic Marshal indeed no longer young.

The battle with Zhu Yue, although victory also made him pay relatively tragic Price, severe aging, Strength decline, and sucked blood transforming into Vampire……

"I just want to say, the hope of restraining ORT, very likely lies hidden within that World!"

Jewel Old Man's Tone exceptionally solemn, eyes Flashing determined light——

"Or perhaps……"

He paused, seemingly weighing each following word.

"The source of all parallel Worlds' ORT rampage, very likely all occurred there!"

He did not possess conclusive evidence, but based on Observation of parallel Worlds, the future indeed a piece of Darkness.

Spiders of numerous parallel Worlds already Awakened, shifting from comfortable Winter Hibernation state into active mode. Although their state appeared hazy, Fangfu fallen into half-sleepwalking stage.

Even in violent chase with Jewel Old Man would occasionally "drop connection", somewhat giving Mage breathing opportunity, but this did not reduce ORT's Danger and Threat level.

Moreover Jewel Old Man also from within keenly Pay Attention——

This haziness not only not Alien Spider Strength weakening, instead portending a deeper, more critical Transform Quietly unfolding.

This perhaps is a fate gamble concerning ORT Promotion to higher-level Universe Creature.

As for its result how, no one can accurately predict.

But whether success or failure, the Consequence triggered, perhaps enough to make entire World tremble.

Especially when all this links with Second Magic's Transform, the Meaning behind it even more profound and unsettling.

——This is obvious.

"……"

"……"

Venue fell into brief Silence.

Various races Each Other exchanging glances, or Low Voice exchanging opinions, on Premise of maintaining general Quiet, rose whispering sounds.

Second Magic User very patiently waiting, he naturally knows this not easy matter.

As replacing Old Era Humans, ascending Stage Next Generation Primates, Arihyaku-shu also Inherited those fine qualities, for example mutual slaughter.

If not Solar System's other eight Planets, dispatched respective UO, to exterminate all life on Earth……

This huge pressure forced them join hands, jointly resist external enemy.

Then perhaps by today, they would have long since exterminated vast majority among themselves.

Even Arihyaku-shu ranked first "Six Sisters", one battle dead, to say they not really holding thought of thoroughly beating brains out for civil war, no one would believe.

From this point, still must thank invading UO.

Although they indiscriminately wipe out Earth's life species, but if not for external pressure they brought, Arihyaku-shu inevitably would mutually Destruct.

——But similarly from this point view……

——Gaia's behavior before death appears so ironic, simply become clown.

Bijiao if it not issue call, maybe Earth's Next Generation Primates could themselves exterminate themselves, simply no need Meaningless Task.

As for now……

Only can say fortunately under UO given pressure, all races Battle End, Human species and Arihyaku also formed non-aggression Allies.

At least before common great enemy Eliminated, they can briefly Peaceful coexist, able to temporarily set aside grudges.

Also precisely because had such relatively Rational, and already spontaneously organized Alliance experience, so laid foundation for Magic Marshal today gather heroes, assemble together.

Otherwise……

Who would dare believe?

Just like the six sisters and the Knights who ambushed them, neither side looked like they could be calm and composed, having a proper conversation.

To be able to act as they are now — though each harbors reservations about the other, they still pretend not to see, keeping their distance while sharing the same venue — already counts as quite a restrained performance.

"Wait——"

"It's b-burning——"

This exclamation, like a sharp blade, sliced through the original tranquility within the venue.

The gazes of the Mors People also followed the direction pointed to by that terrified voice, looking up at the sky above — more accurately, at the sky of the City.

The venue was temporary, and open-air, and happened to be at the center of the City, located beneath two towering World Trees.

Therefore, at this moment, the Mors People could very clearly see that heart-palpitating scene.

The crowns of those trees towering into the clouds had, at some unknown time, been swallowed by raging flames; the fire light rushed to the heavens, reflecting off the entire Horizon until it trembled.

On the Planet's Surface World suffering unprecedented high-temperature Radiation, the atmosphere ruthlessly heated, ocean currents tumbling like boiling water in a cruel Environment, it still stood firm and unfallen, like a giant striding through an endless Storm.

But to Xiang Kang that Monster's released Solar Wind and Cosmic Rays Radiation Storm, there would definitely be a Mors Price to pay as well.

Leaves gradually withered yellow, branches gradually charred black, every minute and every second enduring Mors Inexpressible pain and torment.

By now, it finally could bear it no longer, and began to burn.

Those hidden within the crowns, numbering in the hundreds of millions of spores, or rather Predation Terminals in the shape of angels, also seemed to have been Stimulated in some way——

They scattered and flew out from within in droves.

Directly stirring up a black, overwhelming torrent, also like a Visible Storm.

Although they also ignited the First Time they flew from the crowns, quickly plummeting down from the high heavens.

Even simply turning to ash in the violent burning within moments……

Struck by the rolling gale, directly Annihilated within, not even a single molecule left behind……

Zhiyou, hundreds of millions of "angels" rushed forward one after another, blocking the front of the World Tree, forming a thick wall of flesh.

Briefly giving the World Tree a chance to catch its breath.

Under the action of some invisible force or Force Field, the burning crowns rapidly extinguished their flames, smoothing over their wounds.

But as those "angels" burned to ash in large patches, being consumed at extreme speed……

Anyone could see that continuing like this was merely prolonging the inevitable……

"Can't wait any longer, let her fly!"

A Knight spoke up, his Tone heavy with concern.

"Right! Take off!"

"Fly to the far side of the Star, dodge ORT's Solar Wind first……"

The Other People also reacted, immediately chiming in agreement.

World Tree City.

It was originally a very special Place in the Steel Land; on the Premise that no plants could grow on the entire Planet, only the land in this region could turn green.

So it slowly developed into a City.

However, the World Tree is not the World Tree; it is merely something similar to wings growing on the back of Type Venus.

It is a gigantic carnivorous Plant spanning a full kilometer in length; compared to other Aristoteles, it is closer to this Planet's life system Tree.

Its true form is an invasive environment-nurturing forest floor Plant that takes root in the earth, scattering hundreds of millions of spores — Predation Terminals in the shape of angels.

It is a Lifeform that lands on the Planet's Surface World and gnaws the Planet clean; the moment it arrives alive on the Ground, it means the end of the existing ecosystem on the Surface.

——The World Tree is the wings on its back.

——World Tree City is a City built on its corpse.

This is the truth.

By now, on the dead Planet, only this City built on the body of another UO can still barely serve as a foothold for the Next Generation Primates.

And worth mentioning is that Type Venus, once shot down by the Knights' Destruction Combat, has actually Recovered.

And can take off at any time by its own will.

It's just that she…… has gained a heart.

She fell in love with the people gathered beneath the World Tree she incarnated as, abandoning her own reactivation.

Because once she flies, restoring the UO form, the wing's outer skin will Shatter and Scatter, the so-called World Tree leaves flying everywhere, raining down countless angels.

The hundreds of millions of released spores would instantly cover the Planet's Surface.

Of Course——

That was before.

As for now, there is no difference.

Rather, only if she takes off, bringing the entire City with her, is there a chance for all life to survive.

Instead of being indiscriminately Killed by ORT.

The situation is Urgent, forcing the Mors People to make a decision quickly.

To!"

"……"

"……"

"I'll set out right now, but I can't guarantee the specifics……"

The Mage rarely took a Deep Breath, Complexion heavy——

"From my observation, that is an Existence unique in the infinite parallel worlds, its scale vast beyond the scope of human history……"

"Enough to substitute the Fixed Band's function, defining past, present, future Existence……"

"I don't even know What Thing that is!"
