Chapter 1036: The Awakener (2800 bonus)

The Death Desert.

The original location of Green Forest City.

The old man maneuvered the hovercar, dodging the bombardment of the mechanical police behind them with hair-raising narrow escapes.

"Old man, are you done yet?"

Chloe roared.

"We're here, ahead is the strong electromagnetic interference zone!"

The old man pulled a sharp drift, pressing a button on the hovercar.

Suddenly!

Chloe looked in despair at the approaching Mysterious Knight.

As a member of the Messiah family, he knew many things.

And what surprised her even more was that the Mysterious Knight stopped outside the canopy's coverage, not daring to take a single step further!

"How did such a large banyan tree suddenly grow here?"

But at this moment, a brand-new change occurred upon the giant banyan tree!

On the trunk, a large amount of wrinkles collapsed and curled inward... revealing a man's face!

This face had exquisite features, a calm expression, as if in deep sleep...

This was not an isolated case!

Boom!

"It... stopped!"

The other party had a perfectly proportioned body, every inch flawless.

Chloe screamed, her eyes suddenly sharpening as she yelled: "The sky behind... the Mysterious Knight!"

"We're done for!"

But the Mysterious Knight?

Forget it, they are not only more advanced than the mechanical police, but their resistance to the Mysterious is also extremely high, known as the 'Mysterious Killer'!

In comparison, the Non-human Grade modified object she found in the ruins was of no great use at all...

This scene was not only 'seen' by the old man and Chloe, but also by the Mysterious Knight.

Just at this moment, the Mysterious Knight stopped in their tracks.

The rear door opened, and countless spheres rolled out.

Branches and leaves sprouted, propping up a verdant firmament!

Countless roots twisted and knotted, transforming into the main trunk of a giant banyan tree.

Rustle!

The old man muttered, then suddenly said: "I remember now... this is the ruin of Green Forest City, and the origin of Green Forest City seems to be related to the banyan tree... and Research Institute No. 4... could all of this be connected?"

Among them were old and young, men and women; the only thing they had in common was that they were all nobles of Night City, the true oligarchs of this region!

"A big shot from that family has awakened... everyone, what should we do?"

For some reason, even though this face looked exactly like Aaron, she could not for the life of her associate the two together.

Rustle!

He also knew that although the Messiah family divided ranks by titles, they actually carried a deep sense of inferiority.

Chloe also felt very surprised.

Looking at the aerial roots hanging down from the giant banyan tree, the old man murmured in disbelief.

Due to the ebb of the Spirit Qi tide, some big shots in the Mysterious world chose to seal themselves, waiting for the day when Spirit Qi would recover.

The advancing Mysterious Knight, for some reason, suddenly stopped in their tracks!

"Of course, it's to be captured for the laboratory... do you still think this is the Mysterious Era?"

The next moment.

The old man muttered to himself.

"This is... a banyan tree?"

Chloe exclaimed.

That face, which seemed to grow on the Green Banyan Tree, opened its eyes, revealing a pair of amethyst-like pupils!

Back then...

The old man let out a miserable shriek and drove even faster.

"He... he... he..."

The titles of this emerging class were nothing at all in the face of those surnames possessing true heritage and noble bloodlines!

Moramon looked at the people on both sides and asked.

At the highest point of Night City, 'Kind Man' Moramon held a red wine glass and watched this scene.

But unfortunately... such attempts had all failed for various reasons.

"A human face grew on the banyan tree?"

The mechanical police in pursuit stopped instantly, their eyes flickering with Scarlet, seemingly falling into a state of strong interference.

Amidst the violent explosion, the old man and Chloe rolled out in a sorry state, their bodies covered in countless tiny wounds.

Chloe was so shocked she was almost speechless: "He has come back to life!"

The sound of the wine glass shattering on the floor rang out.

"Damn it! Night City is going to be the death of me!"

The old man suddenly yelled.

"Finally... is the ancient prophecy about to be fulfilled? The true master of the Green Forest has actually been sleeping on this land all along; one day, he will awaken and reclaim everything that belongs to him!"

"Old man, well done."

The old man, however, associated it with more: "He reminds me of those powerhouses within the Mysterious sects who sealed themselves away... Perhaps our accidental intrusion triggered the other party's seal, causing them to appear in reality!"

Moramon repeated the ancient prophecy.

Watching the Mysterious Knight, whose armor was even more vivid and bright, pursuing from within the flames, the old man let out a miserable cry: "We are finished..."

At this moment, the mailboxes of all the high-level officials in Never-Night City lit up with alarms!

Through the cameras mounted on the Mysterious Knight, they clearly saw the oasis wonder in the desert, as well as that Green Banyan Tree that blotted out the sky and the figure on the tree's main trunk!

A faint rustling sound emerged; Chloe looked down and saw a small, emerald-green blade of grass tenaciously pushing aside the sand and growing sturdily!

The electromagnetic explosions produced by the large number of spheres seemed to have caused changes in the local environment, and clusters of thundercloud storms emerged!

"What a huge Banyan Tree... it must be several hundred meters tall, right?"

Whoosh!

The branches and leaves of the Green Banyan Tree spread out, and the main trunk continuously recessed inward, highlighting the figure of this sleeper.

And beneath the electromagnetic thundercloud storm in the rear, a Knight wearing armor engraved with Mysterious Talismans was flying rapidly, propelled by Fire Rockets on his back!

A small missile launcher appeared on the opponent's shoulder, and a missile, trailing a brilliant flame, nimbly dodged Chloe's bullets in mid-air and slammed into the flank of the hovercar!

Boom!

If it were only a mechanical police officer, as a hunter who had spent years roaming dangerous ruins, she would still have one trump card left to fight for her life.

Seeing him was like seeing a true deity...

Zzzzt!

The old man had not expected to be able to see one here!

Moreover, the opponent's way of appearing was truly too shocking, filled with a certain symbolism and association of Occultism!

Green Banyan Tree!

"A big shot in Green Forest City related to the Banyan Tree... could it be that rumored Count family—the Sotos?"

The next moment, more communication links rang out, and figures appeared in the conference room.

Accompanied by the rampant growth of vegetation, a large expanse of lush green lawn appeared in the desert, followed by terrifying Banyan Tree roots like Pythons!

Although another Artificial Intelligence monster—Zeus—had been born within the Gaia Network, the battle between the two monsters remained rational; at least... some basic services of the Gaia Network were not interfered with.

It was even transmitted rapidly to the mailboxes of the high-level officials of Never-Night City via the Gaia Network!

"No... this person... this person..."

An old woman with skin like chicken skin cackled: "The power of Never-Night City is enough to crush everything!"

The second update will be a little later.
