Chapter 1913: Melee in the Tree Canopy (Alliance Leader Bonus)

The girls in the hotel also saw this scene from the window amidst the shaking of the earth, and they were all worried about Xia De's current situation.

Lu Wei Ya's purple eyes clearly saw the entire process of the giant tree growing on the hills in the distance. And beside her, Lei Qianya and Duo Luo Qian, who had never experienced such a disastrous scene, were holding Angelina's hand, unable to imagine what Xia De was doing.

The cat squatted on top of Angelina's head and yawned; it already missed Xia De a little.

The dancing stream of light circled the giant tree, and the roots rising from the ground poured the blood that would surely crowd the Diviner to complete his wish into that giant tree symbolizing unity.

Soon, when the blood-colored giant tree finally grew to a height of several hundred meters and the growth speed began to slow down, the monsters that were prostrating and worshiping faced the foreign humans again with an even more violent posture.

And at a height of one-third of the giant tree's canopy, the dense blood-red tree branches steadily supported the wreckage of the floor. The ends of the branches drilled into the edge of the wreckage like drills, and the dense branches wrapped around the edge of the stones, making the wreckage almost completely fuse with the giant tree.

Above the completely horizontal gray ground, the banquet long table and the people by the table finally met the first ray of moonlight tonight in the night rain at a height of one hundred meters on "Green Island".

The light of the three moons shone toward the giant tree from the gaps in the dispersing dark clouds. The moonlight also shone on the faces of Laplace Howard, Yi Lu Na, and Xia De, making the faces of all three present an indescribable luster.

The night wind blew at a height of one hundred meters, and the "Green Island" under their feet even seemed so narrow. The growth of the giant tree was still going on, but as the branches swayed in the night wind and stretched to a higher place, the banquet venue in the canopy remained as stable as if it had never left the ground.

The Diviner stood up, held the wine glass in his hand high, and toasted Xia De and Yi Lu Na:

"Thank you for everything you did for me tonight. Although this is a bit risky for me, deciding to let you help me complete the final node in the ritual, letting your blood drip onto this land, will make this ritual even more successful. You are also helpers who crowd me to complete my wish. Even if you also snatched the power of the ritual from this process, this is still worth it. Chosen of Balance, God-Awakener, may I ask if you are satisfied with the venue of the final stage I chose."

"I only ask you once."

Xia De ignored his topic:

"I don't care how complex your ritual is, what kind of impact the participation of me and the girl beside me has brought you, and how you weighed the risks brought by our participation. Now listen well—abandon the Edwards Ascension Technique, abandon becoming the Chosen of Space, do you agree?"

The Diviner also answered Xia De's question very seriously:

"We walked on different paths. Although you and I have common goals, we are not the same people after all. I have many words I want to say to you, and I have many things I want to discuss with you together. But I'm really sorry, God-Awakener, this world needs my attempt. Just like I once told you—even if I fail, this also verifies a wrong path. The moment this tree stops growing is the moment the Edwards Ascension Technique is finally activated. If you think you are right, come and stop me!"

Twenty blood-red branches, like long snakes, protruded from higher up in the canopy, stretching toward the opposite side of the table, toward the twenty people belonging to the Edwards family.

But before Xia De could swing the long sword in his hand, Megan, who was pretending to be in a coma, forcibly tore off the cat-shaped mask on her face. Together with the cultist Nadia Follen and the old ghoul Mr. Green, who stood up suddenly, they cut off the branches that were trying to pierce into their heads with a wave of their hands.

Megan grabbed the Green siblings who were in a coma beside her and threw them toward Xia De, the old ghoul quickly tore off the masks of the Edwards brothers, and the latter two tried to wake up the Follen brothers on the side.

Nadia Follen (5th generation) even opened her mouth and sprayed fan-shaped crimson dragon fire at her ancestor, but unfortunately, it was blocked by the black flames sprayed from Gluttony Edwards's (3rd generation) mouth.

The tentacle man Sloth Edwards (2nd generation) launched an attack toward Megan (5th generation), and the two floated in the air, strange arts and tentacle groups bombarding each other; for a while, it was hard to say who had the upper hand; the Edwards brothers (6th generation) and the Follen brothers (6th generation) were blocked by the ghoul three brothers (4th generation), and the lich ghoul three brothers were still powerful; the demon Pride Edwards (3rd generation) pounced on his little daughter's son, Mr. Green (5th generation), but unfortunately, the demon's wisdom was almost zero, and he only had instinct left, so he did not suppress the wise ghoul who was also a ring sorcerer; the cultist Jarvis Edwards (5th generation) reached out and grabbed the spirit Lust Edwards (2nd generation) and Maria Edwards (4th generation) who had just woken up. The girl fought back with a low expression, but still looked around, as if looking for someone.

In the blink of an eye, 17 of the 21 people in the Edwards family fought into a ball on the wreckage of the banquet hall in the air, and Xia De, who caught the Green siblings, placed them on the ground, tore off the masks, and rushed toward the Diviner together with Yi Lu Na, wielding his sword.

I don't know when, a blood-red translucent light shield had risen from the edge of the banquet hall wreckage of irregular shape, and closed above their heads, isolating the space inside and outside the wreckage at a height of one hundred meters, but at this moment, no one cared about this point.

"Thunder Gun!"

"Sunlight Gun!"

The silver-white and golden thunder thrown at the same time were swallowed by the spatial cracks cut by the Diviner behind the long table. He jumped lightly upward and floated in the air above the table.

He raised his right hand, using his palm to take the full force of the 【Night Watcher】 in Xia De's hand as it descended from the sky. His palm, transformed into gold and stone, only developed cracks when facing the blade of an Angel-level relic. He threw a left punch forward, which collided with the right fist of Yiluna, who was using the miracle—Sun Fist. The sunlight, capable of incinerating internal organs, only caused his skin to turn an unusual red, as if steamed.

"Black Moon Mark!"

Xia De, in the air, held the sword with his right hand as a fulcrum, and pressed his left hand toward the Diviner's head.

"Flame Explosion - Sunlight!"

Even if his strength was weaker than the opponent before him, Yi Lu Na still let her right fist continue forward, detonating the sunlight energy inside the opponent's right arm.

The Diviner kicked toward Yi Lu Na's abdomen, and the third hand protruding from behind met Xia De's fist.

Yi Lu Na was kicked away from the air, but still stood firm when landing. Xia De's Black Moon Mark only destroyed the Diviner's third hand, and then he was also punched away by the opponent because he couldn't borrow strength in the air.

The Night Watcher was thrown to Yi Lu Na by Xia De. Yi Lu Na, who caught the long sword, had her life ring appear behind her, and it quickly turned into that dark golden balance. Yi Lu Na held the long sword high, the sword and the balance crossed, and the power of both sides resonated. The power of the Chosen of Balance spread toward this closed space in the air as visible ripples. Except for the Diviner himself, the power of the Edwards on the enemy side also began to decline.

Laplace Klein Howard, floating in the air wearing a golden robe, seemed to be affected for only a moment. Two more hands stretched out from behind him, and the palms of all four hands were aimed at Xia De and Yi Lu Na. Gray light balls representing the power of destroying space flew toward the two, and some even flew toward others in the battle.

"Law: Copy!"

The seventeen-year-old girl pursed her lips and swung her sword forward, manipulating the Witch's secret art learned from the red-haired Duchess, and gray sword marks collided with those gray light balls one after another.

"Chain of Seven Sins!"

The two chains breaking through the air were thrown toward the man in the air, but the gray spherical barrier only flashed around his body, and the two chains hit each other and sparked, then returned without success.

Xia De reached out and hugged Yi Lu Na who was swinging her sword, and the bodies of the two disappeared under the effect of "Lagley's Jump". The Diviner also disappeared above the table, and then all three appeared at the edge of the right side of the field.

Yi Lu Na's long sword was blocked by the Diviner's two hands, and the sunlight power on the long sword had clearly become the prototype of the Sunlight Greatsword. The silver moonlight greatsword held by Xia De's two hands was blocked by the silver shield floating beside the Diviner, but the next moment the long sword in his hand disappeared, and the blood seeping from his pinched fingertip turned into a blood-colored whip and whipped forward:

"Soul Lash!"

The soul of a mouse that appeared out of thin air took this strike that ignored physical obstruction for the Diviner.

Then the Diviner's middle finger and index finger were brought together, pointing straight toward the long sword in Yi Lu Na's hand. Yi Lu Na instinctively felt the danger and wanted to dodge, but instead, her dodging process was like she was actively welcoming the opponent's finger—

Hum~

The long sword was hit by the finger, and the high-speed vibrating long sword made Yi Lu Na's palm numb. To prevent the weapon from being snatched by the opponent, she had to retreat again, but the dark golden balance above her head had confirmed that it had exerted the effect of weakening the Diviner's power.

And Xia De beside her, after the "Soul Lash" was blocked by the mouse, faced the Diviner's fist bombardment. It looked like an ordinary fist, but Xia De felt the power of bombarding space.

That feeling of being unable to dodge appeared again. He held a breath in his heart, his feet borrowed strength to mobilize the feeling of being able to draw power from the earth under his feet, and at the same time summoned the power obtained from Fiona:

"Power of the Red Dragon!"

The loud noise after the sonic boom attracted the attention of everyone in the wreckage in the air on the tree canopy at this moment. Xia De was almost knocked flying, and only stopped when he hit the blood-red light shield at the edge of the wreckage. The Diviner retreated two steps in the roaring sound, raised his arm to look at his bloody fist, and for the first time since the battle began, showed a surprised expression:

"You actually relied solely on your own body to compete with me in strength with this body of mine now. I am very sure that you have not undergone human alchemy experiments. God-Awakener, is your race really still human?" ===== CHAPTER 1914 =====
