Cocoon

"The transaction of fate is always an exchange of equal value, and you are my most distinguished guests. If you have enough chips, even if you are the enemy of God, I will definitely offer you victory."

With the coin as the center, invisible power poured into the bodies of the two people on the dragon's back. The profiteer was like an excellent commander, commanding the battlefield with ease.

He did not attack directly, but became the core of the scene that could not be ignored. The blue flames burning from the treasure gathered into a translucent contract, and the mysterious words carried invisible power.

Canaan took a step back and fell off the dragon's back. The old bishop's heart sank. Even though he knew it was intentional, he still wanted to jump down with the other party.

As the young man fell into the green tide, a strong light surged out from it and expanded in all directions. The dazzling light made all creatures pause in their movements. Even the powerful family heads felt their eyes sore and had to close their eyes.

As a result, they missed a very horrific scene.

The green tide welcomed not delicious food, but something dangerous and terrifying. The body of the silver-haired young man automatically split apart when it hit the ground. In the center, something strange seemed to be wriggling, emitting a life breath as surging as the sea.

It seemed like the most tempting bait, causing the green tide to invade frantically, assimilating the flesh and blood full of vitality. The creature in the cocoon could not bear it and finally opened one eye.

[Heaven] The energy conversion speed suddenly increased, and the concentration rose sharply, forming an expanding giant beast with it as the center. The place where the silver-haired young man is is its heart.

The surging waves froze in place, and [Green Mist Tree] felt an ominous premonition in his heart, and suddenly found that his power was being devoured by the opponent. And the speed was getting faster and faster.

Black fog, green tide, land, life.

Wherever [Heaven] spread, all energy and matter were devoured. The awakened monster chewed the meal and cast a dangerous and evil look at the forest giant.

[Blue Mist Tree] tried to dodge, but its huge body became an obstacle. Margarita sensed the god's thoughts and immediately stood in front of the opponent.

To be fair, Margarita is indeed very strong.

It can absorb vitality endlessly, and any wound will heal immediately. With the blessing of the Green Mist Tree, it is like a moving fortress that can never be conquered. On the contrary, the enemy will be stabbed by the sharp plants and infected by the poisonous powder. Even if only a small cut is made, it will immediately grow into a mass of rotten meat due to excessive vitality.

But in front of the monster in the cocoon, she was like an insignificant pebble, her body quickly collapsed under the cage of heaven. This famous leader of the Black Mist believers died silently like this.

[Azure Tree] had no time to revive his followers. The next second, the figure of the silver-haired young man appeared in front of him.

The humans behind him could only see his back. The silver-haired young man was so small compared to the huge god. This scene made the bloodline people extremely worried.

But they didn't know that what the gods saw was far more than that: a human with his abdomen completely ripped open, his head hanging, and the monster hatched from this body was the enemy of all living things.

Not knowing how to be full, not knowing how to control oneself, being in chaos and ignorance, and devouring everything.

[Heaven] is its creeping tentacles and mouthparts, swallowing everything for its master wherever it passes. When it discovers the strong divine power emanating from the single eye, the glowing giant bites down without hesitation.

The Green Mist Tree let out a silent cry of pain, and the light in its single eye suddenly dimmed, revealing something intertwined inside. It was the right hand of the Earth Mother and a slender seedling, which was very dim because most of its power had been taken away.

The expanding domain spread out in all directions, affecting even the location of humans. They felt a pious admiration in their hearts and unconsciously wanted to throw themselves into it.

A slender white hand covered the wound. Canaan slightly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of clarity flashed through his misty eyes.

What the profiteer gave him was not power, but reason.

The consciousness that Mason was assigned to this vest floated in the sky, wanting to fall into a peaceful sleep. This is a process that is difficult to describe. Without the help of the profiteer, all consciousnesses that enter this vest will fall asleep and make way for the thing in the cocoon.

But with the help of the profiteer, the silver-haired young man who was about to fall asleep always remembered one thing. He inserted his fingers into the bloody wound, and as if he could not feel the pain, he slowly sewed it up with the energy of [Heaven].

He completely ignored the [Green Mist Tree] and immersed himself in the details. The latter did not dare to approach and began to retreat in fear for the first time. Seeing that the other party completely ignored him, He chose to escape without hesitation.

No matter how good something is, you have to survive to get it. In his eyes, Canaan is no longer a candidate for priest, but a real monster!

The forest giant started walking back to where he came from, but unfortunately he forgot that there was more than one person on the other side. The red-haired young man who had been watching for a long time suddenly jumped up and stabbed the one-eyed man with a sword in both hands!

Awakening the "real Canaan" was more consuming than he thought, so Oleus still maintained his normal form. He stared at the forest giant with his red eyes, and a bloodthirsty and rampant smile appeared on his face.

The murderous aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood gushed out of his body, and his face was covered with dense scarlet lines. The forest giant shook his head and tried to throw him out, but Orelius went crazy and opened his mouth to bite the other's eyeball!

Swallow! Bite! Assimilate!

The fiery divine power melted his flesh the moment it touched him, and the pain turned into numbness. The red-haired young man bit off a ball of energy, and blood dripped onto his single eye, turning into red lines that invaded his godhood.

The forces of both sides were entangled, desperately trying to assimilate each other. This was a struggle between divine powers. As it devoured, more and more scenes flowed into the vest's mind, outlining a series of hazy scenes.

At first, it was a verdant old tree in the wild mountains. Its roots penetrated deep into the earth to draw strength, bathing in the morning light and the moisture of rain, and it was isolated from the world. Until its dew woke up the tribesmen who were unconscious under the tree, they regarded it as a god, and then it was born with consciousness during the sacrifice.

Insects crawled under the roots, birds stayed on the treetops, and wild animals from far away rested beside the trees. They listened to the believers' prayers, bathed in the blood of the sacrifices, and tasted their hatred and pain.

Fortunately, he was favored by the goddess of fate and came to this era. When he opened his eyes, he saw the abnormal scaly sun and the earth covered with black fog. The era of gods had passed, and it took a long time for the gods to adapt to this abnormal world.

When he successfully upgraded to an SSS-level monster and entered the black mist, the [Monster Lord] found him.

In my memory, the other person's face was blurred by the dark mist, and his tone was smiling and frivolous.

"Lucky guy, you got a ticket to the Ark. Enjoy it, it's a brand new future."

The [Monster Lord] took the watch of the goddess of fate and helped her adapt to this era. He attracted the Black Mist believers to the [Green Mist Tree], and all the believers called him His Majesty...

The chaotic scene was intertwined with the memories of Mason's original body becoming a higher-level bloodline. He seemed to have turned into the [Green Mist Tree], experiencing the other party's long life and gaining a deeper understanding of plants.

Savoring this flavor, Canaan, who finally healed his wound, raised his hand, and the huge power condensed into a giant sword that fell from the sky, aiming at the [Green Mist Tree]. A huge wave rose into the sky, clearing all the green tides around.

This attack consumed all his reserves, and the lightsaber was as dazzling as a second sun in the sky. Oleus rushed out at the last second, and the huge body of [Green Mist Tree] fell to the ground behind him. Only the priest was hunting with long silver hair, and his body was shrouded in light.

Far away in the Holy City, the Pope suddenly woke up. The tall faceless statue behind him lowered his eyes, revealing undisguised joy.

Scenes passed into his mind one after another. The might of the gods perfectly broadcast the fierce battle in the black mist. The last scene was a silver-haired young man floating in the air, overlooking the fallen giant monster.

The Sword of Damocles condensed by [Heaven] hung high above the skull, and fell with the will of the Son of God, piercing through the body of [Blue Mist Tree].

The Pope immediately knew what he should do next, and he bowed his head and whispered.

"My Lord... This is your will, and I understand it. Your servants will spread these stories and help the Son of God enter the second stage."

The Pope muttered this, unable to hide the tears in his eyes. When the strangeness in the hall disappeared, he spoke to the outside of the hall.

"Send the bishops to see us. Our Lord has issued a new oracle."

The clergymen guarding the temple gate hurried over to pass on the message. The Pope looked at the empty hall, but his heart was burning.

It was a road that came with many sacrifices, but they saw their rewards today.

The church’s choice was indeed correct. Only the Son of God can achieve such a great feat. The path of man-made gods is the only way to save mankind!

.......

After the [Blue Mist Tree] fell, the surrounding area was purified by heaven and was temporarily safe.

Fighting against an SSS-level monster was by no means an easy task. Even after it was all over, the family heads still looked a little dazed.

Without the support of Heaven, they felt exhausted immediately, but they were in good spirits.

...is this the end?

Is the SSS-level monster really dead? Did they kill it?

The bloodline members had already prepared to sacrifice themselves here, but the price they paid was much less than they had imagined.

As people adjusted their mindsets, applause came from the sky.

"Pah pah pah, you guys are even better than I thought."

A young man with white wings on his back was flying in the air. He had been hiding somewhere just now, but now he was back. He was looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

"That's amazing! I didn't expect you guys to actually kill the Blue Mist Tree. It's really exciting."

"You followed me all the way here?"

The faces of the family heads were a little grim. Oreius said, "So you were just watching from the sidelines? You two are companions, right?"

"Eh? No, I just came here to take a look because I was bored. It would be better for me if Margarita died. Besides, I can't intervene in a battle of the level of [Blue Mist Tree]."

Ai Bo shrugged. "It's only after she died that I have the chance to take charge of the West. It's not easy to convince such a stubborn woman. Although [Green Mist Tree] is useful, it doesn't match my values. Thank you for getting rid of it."

"You guys..."

Seeing Ai Bo again, the humans couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Ai Bo, why did you betray the association?!"

"Because I was deceived by the Black Mist followers and made a wrong decision, I joined them. I regret it now. I hope you can give me a chance to make up for my mistake - you must want to hear me say this, right?"

The emerald-eyed young man sighed helplessly, his attitude unusually sincere.

"So, why do people have to find excuses for bad people? What did he go through to become like this? Why did he go astray? Sometimes I really don't understand human beings. Is it so difficult to admit that the person you like is a bad guy? What do you want me to admit that I was wrong, or that you didn't make a mistake?"

"I don't want to conflict with you. If you must ask a reason, then just think of me as a bad person in the public sense. There is no need to feel unacceptable about this."

His attitude was so open and aboveboard that it made the crowd a little dumbfounded. At this moment, a flash of cold light flashed, and Ai Bo turned his head to avoid the arrow, and his eyes fell on the attacker.

"You have a terrible temper."

The master of the archery looked at him coldly, his eyes were chilling.

"That's all nonsense. It was your disguise that made them believe you and put their trust in you. After you succeeded, you turned around and laughed at the people who believed in you and blamed them for everything. Don't you have any sense of shame?"

"Ah, that's very harsh. I thought Aurelius was cruel enough to me."

"Huh? No."

The red-haired young man who was named spoke righteously, and Aibo suddenly swung his hand, and bones broke out of his arm, forming a solid shield.

The invisible object exploded violently the moment it came into contact with the shield, with fragments breaking and flying everywhere. One of the fragments scratched the cheek of the emerald-eyed young man, leaving a long bloody mark.

Oleus put away the [Hidden Gun] with regret. The blood-soaked pearl was more powerful than before, but it still couldn't break through Aibo's defense. Aibo glanced at the red-haired young man with a smile, and heard the latter belatedly add the second half of the sentence.

"After all, he was just being harsh on you. I wanted you to die."

Their eyes met, sparks flew. The smile on Ai Bo's face gradually disappeared, and he said expressionlessly: "So I really hate you, too. You're so troublesome, just like a dog chasing after me, always looking for trouble."

This is really intolerable. The red-haired young man smiled and said, "Of course I am right. I prefer you lying on the ground and talking to me."

The three family heads' eyes flashed, and they took advantage of their unpreparedness to stimulate the blood again.

The emerald-eyed young man, who was already prepared, would not be fooled a second time. He retreated with a tut. The gray door opened in the air, and he uttered his last words.

"We'll meet again."

"Who wants to meet you later?"

Aureus grabbed the bow from Canaan's hand. The longbow began to repel him as soon as he held it, the bowstring cutting into his fingers and bleeding, and then wrapping around the bow. In the fierce struggle between the two sides, Aureus skillfully drew the bow and shot the arrow towards the gate.

Before anyone could react, the arrow shot into the door like a moon shot from a bow. The tangled black mist tried to stop it but was purified by its own power. This time, Ai Bo was unable to stop it in time and barely blocked the arrow with his shoulder, groaning in pain.

The replica portal closed and the opponent escaped without a trace.

The red-haired young man sneered and threw the longbow to Canaan: "I must kill him next time I see him!"

Canaan took the longbow and used the [Heaven] to wash away the opponent's power. Seeing the three family heads staring at the bow and arrow in his hand, he explained softly.

"I am at odds with Aureus. Although you can assist him under conscious control, you will be stabbed if you do not have my permission."

It turns out that it is not so dangerous to everyone. The three heads of the family felt relieved and discussed the next things.

The red-haired young man shook his hands. His ten fingers were cut by the arrow and blood was dripping. He was so deep that the bones were visible. He still said unwillingly: "I must kill him next time."

"It's already amazing. The three of us were just assisting this time. You two made a great contribution. This is an SSS-level monster, the [Green Mist Tree]."

The family heads couldn't help but laugh, their eyes full of joy. When everyone was having fun and thinking about the future, only two vests secretly glanced at the place where the [Green Mist Tree] fell.

Over there, the Black Cannon Merchant had just entered the eye socket of the forest giant and was stealthily digging out treasures.
