Chapter 417 Betrayal
Tokyo.
Wudao Mansion.
Wu Daoming, who was leaning on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes and looked around reflexively. The expression on his face quickly changed from confusion.
This is where he was before.
On the sofa opposite him was Takashi Mai, who was also sleeping, leaning against the back of the sofa, and on the table between them, there was a chess set that was half-played.
Wu Daoguang finally remembered.
When he inexplicably entered the city of Sawame, he was teaching Takashi how to play chess.
Then, he suddenly became distracted and woke up in his home in Sawame City. Was it just a dream?
but……
Wu Daoguang recalled the situation in his dream.
The words that the boy and Kuzuya Kota said to him, as well as the subsequent appearance of DJ Sagara, are still vivid in his mind. Wu Daoming does not think that this is just an ordinary and illusory dream.
but……
What do those things have to do with him now?
He had been forced to leave Sawamaya City a long time ago.
Wu Daoguang took a deep breath, relaxed his shoulders, and slumped in the sofa. He looked away with a dejected look, and no one knew what he was looking at with his unfocused eyes.
But he couldn't help but recall everything in his dream, recalling the feeling of possessing that power after transforming into the Armored Knight Long Xuan again.
However, now he has lost the Battle Drive and the Lock Seed.
Just because he doesn't want to be a shadow.
Even after rejecting his brother's arrangement, he could no longer stay in Sawame City.
Thinking of this, Wu Daoguang couldn't help but laugh at himself, but then, the scene he saw at the World Tree Foundation suddenly flashed through his mind.
——Sid will betray the World Tree Corporation? !
Wu Daoguang suddenly stood up, and at this moment, something rolled off his body and fell to the ground.
snap…
Wu Daoguang looked down subconsciously, and then picked up the thing with a look of surprise - grape locking seeds!
But why is it here?
Is he still dreaming?
"Um……?"
A girl's voice suddenly rang out from the sofa opposite.
Gao Siwu rubbed his eyes and looked up: "Guang Shi...are you awake? You suddenly fell asleep just now, so I took a rest. - Are you too tired?"
In order to relax, the two went to Tokyo Tower yesterday, but Mitsumasa Kurejima was always in a depressed state.
If you are in a bad mental state, you will feel tired.
Gao Siwu was a little worried: "Why don't we talk to the housekeeper and call everyone?"
"Sister Xiaowu..."
Wu Daoguang looked at her in a daze.
At this time, Gao Siwu also noticed the grape lock seed in his hand, and her eyes widened immediately and she stood up and took two steps forward.
"Fixed lock seed——?!"
Wu Daoguang suddenly realized something and quickly held her shoulders to stop her from speaking, while looking around the living room defensively.
"Sister Xiaowu, shall we go back to Sawama City?" Wu Daoguang lowered his voice and said to her.
"What?" Gao Siwu looked at him in surprise.
"Something must have happened in Sawame City that we don't know about. Aren't you worried? Kota-nii and everyone in the Gaim Team..."
"But we..."
Mai Takashi was indeed worried, but she looked back at the door of the villa and realized that they could not leave Tokyo without permission.
The Wudao family's influence is not limited to Zema City.
Wu Daoguang picked up the grape lock seeds in his hand and said, "We can use this!"
Although he doesn't have the Battle Drive now, the Lock Seed can also summon controlled aliens to help them escape from here.
Takashi Mai hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded firmly - she wanted to go back to Sawame City, to see everyone, and to see Kota!
After the two of them made their decision, when they heard footsteps faintly at the corner of the living room, Wu Daoguang activated the lock seed without hesitation!
squeak--
A zipper-like crack runs from top to bottom.
The expected summoned alien did not show up, but a crack leading to the underworld of Helheim appeared directly in front of the two.
The next moment, the butler's surprised voice sounded not far away: "What's going on? ... Master Guangshi?!"
After looking at the butler who had already discovered them, there was no time to hesitate about the opened crack. Wu Daoguang grabbed Gao Siwu who was still in a daze and jumped into the crack together.
"and many more--"
When Wu Daoming came to the other side, he looked back and saw the housekeeper and a group of security guards trying to rush over, so he quickly fastened the padlock on the seed.
The zipper quickly closed and disappeared, and the group of people who had just rushed to the crack were immediately blocked outside.
Seeing this, Wu Daoguang breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mitsushi…”
Then Gao Siwu's dull voice sounded beside him: "What should we do now?"
Wu Daoguang turned his head and looked at the endless forest in front of them that exuded a strange and dark atmosphere, and suddenly fell silent.
One of them is a teenager who has not yet graduated from high school, and the other is a weak girl who has just graduated.
Unfortunately, none of them had any experience in surviving in the wild.
More importantly, aliens will randomly appear in the underworld forest of Helheim, and Mitsumasa Wudao does not have the War Driver on him now.
Their situation seemed to be even more dangerous after entering here.
But looking at the obviously frightened Takashi Mai, Wu Dao Guang Shi could only bite the bullet and said: "It's okay... Let's go to the front first, Xiao Wu sister, just follow behind me."
"it is good……"
The two began to walk cautiously towards the depths of the forest.
……
The Wudao Mansion in Tokyo at this time.
Looking at the closing crack in Helheim's underworld, the butler's face looked a little ugly, but now he could only anxiously take out his mobile phone and call Takatora Wudao.
However, the call over there was not going through.
"what happened……"
The butler frowned, quickly returned to the study on the second floor, edited an email and sent it with what had happened here.
I just hope the young master can find out soon.
……
……
However, before that was Sawame City.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Guihu Wudao arrived at the World Tree Tower early in the morning and sat in the office with a serious expression, processing work documents.
However, on the computer screen in front of him, the structure of the entire tower was displayed. Wu Daoguihu calmly called up the system and expertly changed and encrypted the tower's program. "Guihu?"
When Zhan Ji Lingma came over, he saw Wu Dao Gui Hu sitting behind his desk busy as usual. It was always difficult to tell any emotion on his expressionless face.
The former Sengoku Ryoma particularly admired Wudao Guitora's serious attitude towards everything, and believed that only such a strong person was qualified to become the "God" created by him personally!
But after realizing that Wu Daoguitora's serious attitude was "conscientious", Zhan Ji Lingma just felt bored.
——How can there be such a boring person?!
At this time, Sengoku Lingma leaned against the door and said kindly, "Takatora, Yaozi found some clues in the Helheim Forest that the World Tree Consortium was attacked in the past two days. Do you want to go and see it for yourself?"
"Ok?"
Wu Daoguihu immediately looked over after hearing this: "What's going on?"
Zhan Ji Lingma pointed at a photo and said, "It seems that in addition to the ordinary aliens, there are more than one more powerful aliens secretly operating in the forest. I will call them "overlord aliens" for the time being!"
——Overlord foreigner?
Wu Daoguihu's eyes moved slightly, he stood up and walked to the door, took the photo from his hand and looked at it.
There was a red monster figure in the photo.
"These overlord aliens seem to have the ability to control forest plants. Gui Hu, should we find a way to capture one and study him?" Zhan Ji Lingma looked at him inquiringly.
"Controlling plants... I didn't expect such creatures exist. In this case, we certainly can't miss them!" Wu Daoguihu said seriously.
Zhan Ji Ling Ma's smile deepened: "Sid's injuries have almost recovered, I'll let him go with you!"
Wudao Guihu thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "When I went to see him before, he seemed to be seriously injured. Let Minato go in with me to investigate. With my current strength, I don't need to worry about those things."
After hearing this, Sengoku Lingma did not continue to make arrangements, but just curled the corners of his lips in an ambiguous way: "You are really powerful, Guihu."
Wu Daoguihu chuckled without comment, handed the photo back, and walked out of the office towards the crevice. But suddenly, he stopped and turned around with some confusion.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Ji Lingma asked when he saw this.
"Why haven't you seen Kawahara, whom you met before, today?" Takatora Wudao glanced around the office.
In fact, I haven't seen it since yesterday.
After all, apart from dealing with Kuzuya Kota, that person seemed to have no other entertainment activities. He used to just stay in the office and open fruits - or did he enter the underworld of Helheim to open fruits?
Thinking of this, Wu Daoguihu seemed to have found the reason, so he didn't wait for Zhan Ji Lingma to respond, and retracted his gaze and stopped exploring.
As for whether something will happen to that guy...
There is absolutely no such worry at all.
Zhan Ji Lingma, who was walking behind, stared at his back and lowered his head slightly to hide the increasingly fierce look in his eyes.
……
In front of the World Tree rift.
This crack that opened directly from the trunk of the tree has always been forcibly maintained by the World Tree Consortium using technological means. It has also been expanded to make it more convenient for traveling between the two sides for research.
After deciding to go to the forest to investigate the Overlord Alien, Takatora Wudao, Ryoma Zhanji and their group also gathered here.
Although Xi De was injured before and Wu Daoguihu also said that there was no need for the injured to work overtime, he still joined the team ready to go.
"In that case, Sid, come and join my team. Is it okay for me to just be one person?" Wu Daoguihu looked at the two people beside him.
"I'll go with her."
Zhan Ji Ling Ma stepped forward and said at this time.
Wudao Guihu was a little surprised: "Lingma, do you want to go into Helheim Forest to investigate too? Isn't this too dangerous?"
After all, Zhan Ji Lingma has always been a scientific researcher in the rear. Although he has combat effectiveness, he still lacks some practical experience.
Zhan Ji Ling Ma took out the lemon lock seeds and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me."
Wu Daoguihu looked at him silently for a long time, and then he smiled slightly: "Then be careful."
The three of them entered the rift one after another.
Then they moved away from the temporary scientific research base of the World Tree Consortium step by step and walked towards the ruins deep in the forest. It is said that the civilization might be left behind by the overlord aliens.
Then those overlords from foreign lands might still linger around.
In places unknown to outsiders——
……
In front of the rift of the World Tree Consortium.
After Takatora Wudao and his group moved away from the rift, the scientific research team stationed there suddenly detected a strange energy. Just as they were wondering, alien figures appeared around them at some point.
"There are enemies!"
The guards patrolling the area immediately stood guard with guns in hand, and at the same time, the mass-produced armored knight "Black Shadow" was protecting them in front.
Due to the strong human presence here, it is not uncommon for the scientific research team to be attacked by aliens. Generally, this situation can be left to the guards and shadow guards to deal with.
But soon, someone discovered that there were a large number of aliens gathered there, and there were also mutant aliens that could transform into beasts!
There were even countless aliens rushing towards the cracks in the World Tree like moths to a flame. Although they were temporarily blocked by the destructive energy of the protective shield, under such a crazy attack, the protective shield would be broken sooner or later!
By then, the entire tower will be attacked by foreigners!
"How is this going?!"
"Quickly inform the director of the situation here!"
"But at this time..."
"what--"
Groups of aliens quickly broke through the blockade of the shadow guards and rushed towards the scientific researchers who were hurriedly collecting data. The entire base was suddenly filled with screams of terror.
……
When he just arrived near a certain ruins, Takatora Wudao, who had transformed into Zangetsu, suddenly stopped in his tracks because a series of chaotic voices came from the communication built into the armor.
["director--"]
[“The rift was attacked by aliens!”]
[“Save us——”]
It was unknown what had affected the signal, and the sound coming from the other side was not clear, but Takatora Wudao still managed to discern what was happening at the base.
He immediately turned around and said to Cid, "The base has been attacked by aliens. Stop searching for the dominant aliens and go back first!"
After saying this, Wu Daoguihu, who was anxious, turned around and rushed towards the base.
However, Cid, who was following behind him and did not respond, suddenly rushed forward in Cherry Energy Armor, and the sonic arrow in his hand slashed fiercely at Zangetsu's back!
"clang!"
Zhan Yue turned around in an instant, raised his sonic arrow to block Cid's attack, and sparks from the blade flew past the eyes of the two men.
Sid, who didn't expect to be blocked, was slightly stunned: "You..."
Zangetsu shook his arm and threw him away, his chest heaving violently, and a suppressed angry voice rang out: "Sid! What are you doing?"
Sid reacted and sneered: "What? You were prepared for this?"
"Why are you doing this?!" Wu Daoguihu clenched his weapon and said in a deep voice.
"Tsk, what's there to ask? Of course I've been annoyed with you for a long time!"
After a disdainful sneer, Sid once again raised the sonic arrow and rushed forward to attack.
However, just as he got close, Zangetsu slashed him in the chest with a backhanded sword, and then he slashed down with another sword, but in an instant, the Cherry Armor was blown away.
Bang—bang!
Cherry Armor fell down the hillside, broke through the pillars of the ruins and crashed into the cave.
Takatora Wudao walked over and looked down at him, then drew his bow and arrow directly at him. However, before his attack landed, a beam of energy arrow suddenly came from the other side!
"boom!"
Wu Daoguihu changed direction instantly, and the arrow he shot and the light arrow exploded in the air, creating a ball of sparks!
And Minato Yoko in peach armor appeared on the opposite side.
