Deliberately created racial conflict.
All the adventurers who perished in the war, and the demons, became nourishment for the World Tree.
"But today, I will end the World Tree's rule."
Linda said.
"Hero, what do you want us to do?"
The citizens watching the light screen had doubts in their minds.
Most of them are adventurers below level 20 with limited abilities.
How can I help the hero?
"What you need to do is very simple."
Linda firmly stated, "I need you to trust me, believe in me, pray to me, and offer your strength!"
When he sensed Leah's call and returned to this world from the clockwork space, the experience value section on his personal panel changed.
Below the 0/0, where there is nowhere to go further, a long white bar radiating holy light appears.
Power of Faith: 1/100 billion!
Ascending to godhood through the power of faith is the oldest path.
With 100 billion units of faith power, he will surely be able to repair the Time Dragon's shattered divine essence!
Tricia sneered, "Ignorant fool, trying to ignite the divine fire with the power of faith? If it were that easy, every hero would have become a new god long ago."
The Secret Realm Continent has lost 70% of its population due to the war. There is only a sliver of hope if all the remaining people abandon their faith in the World Tree and unconditionally trust Linda.
"Die."
Tricia loosely clenched her left hand.
Several thick roots of the World Tree emerged from the ground and surrounded Linda.
The rootstock contracted rapidly, and a chilling sound came from inside as if a human body had been squeezed into a pulp, with blood gushing out from the gaps.
“Hero, I cannot kill you, but I can cruelly torture you until you give up on your own.”
Whenever Linda is reborn in the cage formed by the roots of the World Tree, she crushes Linda into mincemeat again.
This inhuman suffering can drive an adventurer to the brink of collapse in just a few minutes.
Although victory was still in their grasp, Tricia had some regrets.
She shouldn't have chosen Linda and become a hero.
Admittedly, Linda was the most capable of all the heroes in history for helping her retrieve the divine essence of the Time Dragon. But no one expected that killing Linda would be so troublesome.
None of the heroes before had ever been able to bring the truth out of the Demon King's castle.
Tricia had long forgotten what anger tasted like.
Seeing Linda die hundreds of times yet still refuse to yield, her face contorted in rage, her palms clenched, and the roots of the World Tree transformed into spears, serrations, and tentacles, ravaging Linda's body.
She would pierce the hero's eyes with a spear, scrape away his flesh with serrated edges, and fill his body with tentacles.
Using the most vicious methods, they cruelly killed the heroes time and time again.
If you do not wish to experience this despair, then abandon the laws of time and slumber in the darkness.
Tricia's smile became increasingly distorted.
Just then.
A point of light, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, entered the cage formed by the World Tree.
What?
Tricia paused for a moment.
Looking around.
More and more points of light surged in from all directions.
It formed a continuous golden cloud!
How can there be so much power of faith?
Tricia's heart felt as if it were being pulled up by a thread, and she anxiously extended her divine power to sense all parts of the continent.
The scene she "saw" took her by surprise.
"The hero is Linda? The Linda who made free strategy videos to help lowly adventurers climb the World Tree?"
The adventurers stared at the light screen with surprise and uncertainty.
As early as the Ice Abyss era, Linda's strategy videos were widely disseminated, spreading beyond White Dove City and becoming popular in various provinces.
Detailed monster explanations, foolproof team strategies, all available at a low price without any "knowledge fees."
Even a novice adventurer who is just starting out can safely reach the 20th floor if they strictly follow Linda's strategy.
It should be noted that over 90% of adventurers on the continent are below the 20th level of the World Tree.
He entered the Ice Abyss for secluded training, and then set sail to find a mysterious island. Even Linda himself didn't know how famous his name was among the lower-level adventurers.
The seeds planted unintentionally years ago have borne fruit today.
Furthermore, Evelyn, a top legend renowned throughout the continent, was endorsing him.
Kaphni used her divine power to communicate with the third princess of the royal family, a sickly beauty with long platinum hair, to support Linda.
The Elf Queen spared no effort in launching her speech.
May all the spirits dedicate their strength to the hero.
Not just the Mysterious Continent.
Some residents of the Demon Realm were also filled with righteous indignation upon learning the truth.
It turns out that everyone was a pawn of the World Tree Goddess.
Regardless of victory or defeat in the war against the adventurers, they will all be imprisoned in the barren land of the Demon Realm.
Linda also told them that it was very likely that the Demon Realm Continent was as habitable as the Secret Realm Continent. But Tricia, driven by her own greed, unleashed a storm of purple lightning and black clouds, turning the land into scorched earth.
The purpose was to force the demons to go to war with the adventurers.
How could anyone not hate such a goddess?
"Damn it, I hate heroes the most, but this time, I support you! Go, hero, defeat the World Tree Goddess!"
"Go, hero!"
"It was the hero's strategy that allowed me to live in a mansion and marry a young girl. Hero Linda, please accept my gratitude!"
In cities all over the world, adventurers and demons alike crossed their arms in prayer.
Their inner desires transformed into tiny specks of light, flying towards the Demon Realm continent.
The sheer number of these points of light created a sea of clouds.
Illuminating the dark earth. (End of Chapter)
