"..."
"I understand, wait a minute!"
Seeing this, Yu Jin immediately nodded to the Golden Tree. Then he turned his gaze to the trunk of the World Tree.
There's a guy there who'd be great as fodder.
Chapter 742 Parasitic Seed

"Wait a moment." After patting the roots of the golden tree, Yu Jin stood up from where he was.
He raised his head and looked at a corner of the trunk of the World Tree.
"Oh!"
Then, he turned into a shadow and rushed straight towards the huge trunk of the World Tree.
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound from the tree trunk, and then another afterimage jumped out from the trunk and flew away from here quickly.
"It's quite fast." Yu Jin pulled his hands out of the World Tree, swung them a few times, then kicked his legs and leaped out.
"boom!"
A large area of fluffy pink and white fur on the ground was plowed out, revealing the white branches of the trees in it.
And on top of the branches, was the Doctor, and the embers that held him captive.
"I knew you had something to do with this!"
"Confess and be punished severely; resist and be beaten to death! Speak!"
Ember shouted, questioning the doctor who was struggling beneath him.
"Huh..., what if I say that the burning of the World Tree has nothing to do with me?" The doctor explained while gasping for breath on the ground.
He almost merged with the World Tree, but he didn't expect that he could still be discovered by Yu Jin!
"He has guts, so just beat him to death!"
When Yu Jin saw that the doctor dared to quibble here, he punched him without saying a word.
"boom!"
Flesh and blood were scattered all over the ground, but unexpectedly, this flesh and blood merged into the branches of the World Tree on the ground.
"what 's wrong?"
Yu Jin stood up from the ground, poked his hand, and inserted it into the exploded root mouth of the golden tree beside him. When he stretched out his hand again, the armored palm covered with minced meat and blood was as bright as new.
But the price is that the roots of the golden tree are retching.
I looked down at the ground. There was a pool of blood there before, but now it had turned white and only a vague outline could be seen.
"Is the Doctor's body so soft?" Yu Jin looked at his fist, or did he fail to control his strength just now?
It was obvious that he just wanted to hammer the doctor's teeth out.
Ember didn't believe that the Doctor could be dealt with so easily, so he began to wander around the place, trying to find any possible traces of the Doctor.
Unfortunately, the doctor didn't find it, but found Nashida with a grim look on her face.
"What's wrong with you? Are there any sequelae from the fever?"
Nashida shook her head after hearing this. She then pointed at her body and said:
"There is something... inside the World Tree..."
Her voice was a little weak, as if she had a cold, had difficulty breathing, and felt weak.
"It should be... that doctor who did it." The Great Compassion Tree King patted her stuffy chest, closed her eyes and felt it carefully. Indeed, her body had become worse than before.
However, since she no longer has the authority of the God of Grass, the Doctor's influence on the World Tree is not as severe as that on Nashida.
If Nashida had a cold, then she just had a stuffy nose.
"The King of Trees..., his reputation is... well-deserved..." The doctor's voice rang out again at this moment.
But his voice had no specific source, as if it came from every corner of this space.
"He...ran into the World Tree?!" Villette was in disbelief. The World Tree contained information about the entire continent, and only the Grass God knew how to travel through it.
Even if an ordinary person invaded the World Tree, they would be driven into a fool by the information flow in it. But the doctor can now travel through the World Tree without the guidance of the Grass God.
"I'm surprised... I've been researching the World Tree for a long time... I should have been the one to burn the tree..."
"Now... I'll show you... part of my plan!!!"
The roar within the World Tree suddenly became louder, and then the thick branches began to crack, with new branches sprouting from the cracks.
The color of the branch is exactly the same white as the World Tree, but if you look inside along the crack, you will find that the source of this branch is not the World Tree itself, but a tree tumor.
The tree tumor is like a seed embedded in the World Tree. It absorbs nutrients from the World Tree and grows branches and buds like the World Tree, but it is not part of the World Tree.
"Haha...it's grown..., but unfortunately...there are still many things...that are not yet complete..."
The doctor laughed with satisfaction, and the knot of the tree trembled, as if the sound came from somewhere, but everyone knew that was not the case.
"Come out!"
Yu Jin couldn't stand anyone being arrogant, so he jumped onto the World Tree and grabbed the branch that grew out of the crack with both hands.
"Bah!"
With his strength, the newly grown branches and the tree knot in the crack were pulled off together. On the tree knot, countless thin roots that were deeply embedded in the World Tree could still be vaguely seen.
"call--"
The flames started and soon burned the branches and the huge tree tumor to ashes.
After falling from the sky, Yu Jin immediately looked at the Great Compassion Tree King and Nashida and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Both the Great Mercy Tree King and Nashida shook their heads. What the embers did just now only caused a tingling sensation in their bodies, and it had no effect on their overall discomfort.
The dizziness is there, and the weakness is there.
"It's useless... Do you know... how much preparation I have made for the World Tree?"
"Crack!"
The doctor's voice rang out from all directions, and then the same actions as before were performed again in front of everyone.
The trunk cracked, branches grew from tumors, and the World Tree once again grew branches that did not belong to it.
Then the embers pulled it down again with lightning speed.
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
The tree trunk cracked again. This time it was Villette who took action. As a water dragon, he naturally had great strength.
But unfortunately, not even the power of the dragon can stop the growth of these tree tumors.
"She is... me, but I... am not her. Hahaha..."
Looking at Cinders and Villette busying around on the World Tree to no avail, the Doctor couldn't help but burst into crazy laughter.
"Come down, both of you! It's useless!"
Below, the Great Compassion Tree King covered his belly and shook his head at the embers and the Villette in the air.
After hearing this, the two stopped wasting time.
"This thing... is specially used to deal with the World Tree..."
Nashida sat cross-legged on the ground, also holding her stomach - Yujin and Navilette had talked too much about the tree knot just now, and her stomach was aching.
"I see it."
Yu Jin nodded. This thing was very tricky. It was obvious that the doctor used it specifically to deal with the World Tree. He just didn't know how long he had prepared for it.
"Purpose."
The Great Compassionate Tree King raised his head and asked the doctor.
"I said... I want to replace... the World Tree... Do you believe me?"
"If you have no intention of cooperating, then this is the end of our conversation."
The Great Compassion Tree King shook his head, then his face turned grim and he said to the ember:
"Ember, set fire to the World Tree!"
"No, don't you consider suicide at the last minute? Is this your last minute?"
When Yu Jin heard this, he immediately trembled three times. Although he was very concerned about the fire, once the fire was set, Nashida and the Great Kindness Tree King would be in trouble.
"Suicide? Not really. He was the only one who died."
The Great Compassionate Tree King grabbed the swaying golden tree roots beside the embers, inserted one into himself, and then inserted another into Nashida's body.
"If the World Tree cannot be saved, then let the Golden Tree take its place. At least, it is much better than the guy above."
The Great Tree King looked up at the parasitic World Tree. Instead of letting the World Tree be replaced by the Doctor, it would be better to start all over again and let the Golden Tree take on the responsibilities of the World Tree.
"No, even if he takes this extreme step of giving up, he won't die."
"If I remember correctly, this should be just a slice of him, right?"
Villette coughed lightly and reminded him, which made the Great Compassion Tree King pause.
Yeah, this is just one of the Doctor's slices.

"Calmness...what a wonderful quality..." The doctor naturally heard what Villette said, so he praised the supreme judge from Fontaine without hesitation.
"It's your duty. You'd better not set foot in Fontaine. Otherwise..."
