Chapter 419 The Battle Has Begun
World Tree Foundation.
When Kawahara opened his eyes, he found that the scene was not near the nursery where he was before, which was somewhat expected.
It is expected that the shadowy and crawling guy Zhan Ji Lingma will not let him go.
But when he turned around and saw "himself" lying on the experimental table, Kawahara was still shocked!
He stayed there for a long while, then looked down at his current state and found that it was very similar to the translucent energy body that DJ Xiangliang had used before.
Just when I was thinking about Xiangliang, a very frivolous laugh came from the side.
"It looks like you're not in a good condition right now. What do you think? Humans are still very interesting, right? Hahaha..."
Sagara, dressed in modern hip-hop clothes, came out with a gloating smile.
Not long ago in the world of dreams, this guy was wearing cotton and linen clothes like an ancient priest in accordance with local customs, but now he has changed back to the image he was when he was first seen.
Kawahara looked at himself speechlessly. "Do you need to tell me... Sagara, are you the same person in the Helheim Forest in every time and space?"
Sagara spread his hands and said, "That shouldn't be the case. You can just treat the forests in each time and space as the same clones. Although if you want to think of them as the same me, that's fine too."
If you think so, then it is similar to the existence of Kuzuha Kota who has become the "Man of Origin".
All the endings will eventually converge on him.
Kawahara nodded thoughtfully, and Sagara walked over, leaning on the laboratory table with his hands and looking at the man lying on it.
"So, what are you going to do now?"
"..."
Kawahara glanced at his lifeless body lying on it, then glanced at Sagara who was obviously enjoying the show, and sneered indifferently.
He said slowly: "When I was in this state, you should have known that this body was not my body. According to the state I appeared in this world, my real body should be the 'Bad Apple'!"
After all, Kawahara didn't travel through time by himself from the beginning.
Instead, Sagara activated the lock seed, and then he appeared directly from that lock seed.
So strictly speaking, his status should be similar to that of beings like Sagara and Kougan - except that Sagara is the concrete embodiment of the entire Helheim Forest.
Hearing his words, Sagara smiled softly, and didn't seem surprised.
But at this moment——
The body lying on the experimental table suddenly emitted a black light, which was a strange light that spread out in a fine trajectory, and then the next moment the body disappeared without a trace.
Kawahara was stunned: "..."
Wait, he didn’t say he didn’t want it anymore!
But it was too late. As soon as Kawahara took a step forward, the entire experimental table was empty.
Seeing this, Xiangliang laughed again: "So I said, maybe your will can change reality to a certain extent, but I don't know where this power comes from?"
Kawahara sighed with mixed feelings and said nothing.
He then looked around and saw a camera on the table, with some incomprehensible documents piled randomly next to it.
This is Zhan Ji Lingma's laboratory, and after that guy brought him back to the World Tree Foundation, he probably conducted relevant research.
Kawahara opened the camera's recording and took a look.
On the small screen of the camera, Zhan Ji Ling Ma's sinister face appeared in the frame——
[“It’s really interesting. After re-investigating the remains of the Overlord Aliens, I found that their scientists seem to have created something that can replace the ‘Golden Fruit’.”]
[“So as long as I analyze this data, I should be able to create a god bit by bit with my own hands!”]
[“But before that, I want to reproduce the research in my own way.”]
The camera finally turned to Kawahara.
Kawahara: "..."
He couldn't help but doubt his current situation for a second, so he turned his head to look at Sagara who was joining in the fun and asked, "This shouldn't be Lapis's dream world, right?"
"No~" Sagara shrugged.
"so……"
So this guy Zhan Ji Lingma really discovered the research on the overlord aliens in this real world.
And I made the same decision as in the dream.
But the slight difference is that this time, Sengoku Ryoma obtained the experimental subject Kawahara, and judging from the information about the "Apple Lock Seed" on the desktop, this guy seems to have successfully completed the experiment.
——Golden fruit locked seeds?
So what will Zhan Ji Ling Ma do after completing this experiment?
Judging from the way Sengoku Ryoma behaved, he either gave the "Golden Fruit Fixed Seed" to Wudao Guihu or used it himself.
At this time, Sagara suddenly seemed to realize something, looked into the void with a smile and said, "The battle has already begun."
The next moment, the alarms in the entire tower rang violently, and from the cracks in the World Tree came the sound of human screams.
Kawahara's eyes moved, and a translucent illusory figure flashed past in an instant.
……
There is an electromagnetic field surrounding the rift leading to the underworld of Helheim, which is now flashing with energy and lightning. The alien monsters that rushed out one after another were blocked in front of the entrance.
But in addition to those weak ordinary aliens, there are always some powerful aliens that are obviously beastly and can break through the barriers. Along with the rapidly spreading Helm's underworld plants, they attack the humans in the tower.
Moreover, even the team in the tower was attacked by aliens, so the situation in the underworld base of Helheim on the other side of the rift can be imagined. More screams and calls for help were heard from there.
Although there have been some alien monsters that have attacked human settlements in the past, this attack was clearly different from the past.
Those monsters were so crazy that even the plants from Helheim began to grow wildly.
Are forests eroding the earth faster?
Kawahara frowned and looked at the underworld of Helheim on the other side of the rift. When a monster pounced towards the rift, he picked up the submachine gun that fell on the ground and prepared to attack.
"boom--"
The gunpowder bullet burst out of the barrel and exploded on the alien monster that passed through the cracks and barriers, but Kawahara was stunned with a confused look on his face.
He stared down at the submachine gun in his hand in a daze, and then tried to shake it. However, not only did the gun not turn into a Pegasus crossbow, but the Aguru belt did not appear around his waist!
Oh well, it turns out that body is still useful!
But he didn’t say no!
Who took the body away?
The alien that he hit was roaring and rushing towards him. Kawahara, who was feeling annoyed, glanced sideways, and the alien suddenly shook and froze in place.
Kawahara's eyes flickered when he saw this scene.
Immediately afterwards, the vines that grew out of the cracks flew over and whipped the alien back to the other side of the crack.
It was as if a strong aura of oppression was descending, and the aliens in the underworld of Helheim who were attacking human settlements all trembled. They froze in fear and dared not move, and the plants that were spreading toward the outside world through the cracks were also retracted.
"I see."
Kawahara said calmly with understanding.
He walked straight towards the rift. The researchers and guards in the tower looked on in confusion and could only watch him cross the barrier.
After the alien monsters stopped chasing, the fleeing researchers crawled towards the rift and hurriedly passed through the rift back to the tower in the real world.
The shadow guards in the base wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the aliens, but when they launched the attack, even if they were terrified by the oppression of the overlord, those aliens would not sit still and wait to be killed.
Kawahara, who arrived in the underworld of Helheim, glanced at the aliens around him. Under his interference, several high-level aliens roared in fear and turned around to retreat into the depths of the forest.
The remaining ordinary aliens only have instincts. Instincts make it difficult for them to resist, and instincts also make them fight back when faced with attacks.
After the shadow guards eliminated those ordinary aliens who had difficulty moving, they quickly gathered together and looked at the man standing in front of the rift.
"Who are you?!" the leading guard shouted alertly.
Kawahara looked at him without responding, then waved his hand. All the plants in the forest seemed to stir at this moment.
rustling-
Dense vines shuttled back and forth in the dark and humid forest. In a short while, they tied up several people who had run deep into the forest in panic.
Then one by one they were thrown back into the rift.
The shadow guards looked at his actions in shock, and looked at each other, totally unsure of what to do. After all, none of their superiors could be contacted right now!
Kawahara then looked at them and said calmly: "I'm going to close the crack. Do you want to leave by yourselves, or do you want me to take you there?"
Shadow Guards: "..."
So after a period of chaos...
The group of mass-produced armored knights who tried to resist were packed up and thrown back by Kawahara. Then he raised his hand and forcibly closed the crack in the World Tree that had not closed for several years.
After doing these things, Kawahara looked into the depths of the forest and felt the ultimate darkness erupting from the remains of civilization.
Takatora Wudao...
Did you use that power anyway?
……
……
Deep within the ruins of the Fimsim civilization.
As the king of the Fimsim civilization that has been swallowed by the underworld of Helheim, Bai Ya's daily routine is to sit on the petrified throne and reminisce about his past life with his princess, or sit in front of the princess' sarcophagus and miss his lover.
But ever since Kawahara sent a human boy here, Bai Ya's daily routine now consists of reminiscing about the past and fighting while doing so.
After being slapped by Bai Ya again and his transformation was cancelled, Qi Wen Jie Dou was now lying on the ground, panting and resting.
Although he has been trapped in this forest for a long time, he has become more and more courageous.
Because Bai Ya promised Qi Wen Jie Dou one thing during the contest with the latter - as long as Qi Wen Jie Dou could defeat him, he was willing to give the "Golden Fruit" to the other party.
Attracted by this promise, even though Bai Ya's power has reached a point where he cannot shake it at all, the most powerful thing about Qi Wen Jie Dou is that he never gives up in order to become stronger!
If Kuzuya Kota is unwilling to give up in order to protect others, then what supports Qiwen Jiedou to persevere is the desire to become stronger.
He must become a strong man, because only the strong will not be trampled on by others, and only the strong can protect the weak from being bullied!
And he can give everything on the road to becoming a strong man - this is Qu Wen Jie Dou's life creed.
"The world you expect is the world I have created today, and you have witnessed it."
Bai Ya scoffed at his belief.
But Qi Wen Jie Dou didn't care: "Of course I know that creating a world without weak people requires certain sacrifices, and I have already made preparations for this!"
Bai Ya didn't say anything else.
He admitted that this human boy possessed a strong heart, a strong belief that he must keep going no matter what the cost, but Bai Ya already understood that he could not do that.
The longer he lost the princess, the more he regretted and suffered for everything that happened.
As for this human who still insists on his own opinion... perhaps only time can erase his strong will that will never give up.
After all, humans don't learn from others.
……
After Qu Wen Jie Dou had a good rest, he stood up again and took out the lock seed, intending to continue challenging the power of the King of Fimsim with an unyielding spirit!
But right now.
The light around him suddenly became overexposed.
Qu Wen Jie Dou was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw a blonde girl in a white dress behind the bushes outside the cave.
"You are……"
Seeing the girl's Qiwen Jiedou was slightly startled.
In fact, before the various street dance groups began to confront each other, Kaito Kiwamoto and Mai Takashi had already known each other when they were children. However, due to the World Tree Foundation settling in Sawame City, the two went their separate ways and never met again.
At this moment, the blonde girl in a white dress in front of him was undoubtedly very different from the sunny Gao Siwu that Qi Wen Jiedou knew.
——Not Takashi Mai?
Compared to the performances of Kuzunoya Kota and Wudao Mitsumi, Qiwen Jiedou's first reaction was suspicion.
"Jie Dou..."
But the girl's voice overturned his doubts.
The face and eyes of the Daughter of Origin could not hide the sadness, because in the countless time and space she explored, she refused to give up every time, and each time she had to move towards the ending that was more decisive than anyone else.
"Why do you want to fight? To stop fighting..." The Daughter of Origin looked at him from afar.
"Of course it is to become strong, and then use this powerful force to create a world where the weak can also protect themselves. This is what I must do!" Qu Wen Jie Dou said with a determined look.
"Stop fighting. The weak have never been evil. You can also fight to protect the weak..." The Daughter of Origin said softly.
Qi Wen Jie Dou's original intention of creating the world was not to protect the weak.
It's because he hates the weak.
He hates weak people who can't protect themselves.
When Qiwen Jiedou was slightly stunned by her words, the Daughter of Origin shook her head and turned around and disappeared.
How to do it……
What should I do?
The Daughter of Origin entered the fragments of time and space again in a daze - with only the Exorcist Pattern and the Fighting Ring, she could never find a foolproof method, and she could never persuade the other party to give up such a goal.
If Kota could be here...
She flew aimlessly towards a piece of space-time fragment, but the next moment, she fell directly into bottomless darkness.
This kind of darkness is not cold, but it gives people an inexplicable feeling of suffocation and oppression.
She had never encountered such a situation in her previous time and space travel. The Daughter of Origin wanted to leave in a panic, but there were no more cracks in the four directions.
"How could this happen? What's going on?! Snake... Is the snake here? I haven't found it yet..."
When the Daughter of Origin wandered through time, she would occasionally meet Sagara, but at this moment, no matter how she called out, she could not call out the snake.
She stayed in this endless darkness.
I seemed to have realized something vaguely.
——The battle has begun.
