Game of the World Tree

The black clouds kept rolling, and the pale lightning appeared and disappeared.

On the hillside, a towering demon fortress stands tall, surrounded by a constantly patrolling demon army.

They made a small team of ten people, holding torches, and wandered around the fortress constantly.

Outside the fortress, behind a boulder under the hillside.

Several demons were hiding behind the boulder and poking around.

They wore demon-style armor made from the scales of the abyss scaled beasts, and they exuded a strong evil aura. They were relatively petite among demons, but they looked tall.

It seems that they are not like the demons that evolved in the abyss, but rather the demons that some demihuman creatures in the material world became after degenerating.

I saw the demon at the front glanced at the fortress on the hillside, turned around and said to his companions:

"Everyone, in front of you is the demon fortress in the eldest sister's mission."

After speaking, he looked at one of the demons again and asked:

"Cyber, what should we do next?"

The demon who was called was silent for a few seconds, as if he was checking something, and then said:

"Brother Mu, the task has been updated... It is to sneak into the fortress, find the gate of the plane, and then cover at least one player to successfully enter, so as not to be discovered throughout the process."

"What if it is discovered?"

"Then the reward will be halved, and also, tear open the golden scroll given by the eldest sister."

Saibo said.

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, glanced at the other demons behind him, and said to the leading demon:

"Brother Mu, we're going to sneak into the fortress. You'll be the one to command. I haven't led the regiment very much, so I'm afraid something will go wrong."

For the sake of the demon, he listened, thought for a while, and then sighed:

"OK then……"

After speaking, he looked at the others again:

"Everyone pay attention to check the equipment, don't show any clues, and... see how long the magic of disguising breath is still long, if it is not enough, I have a few scrolls of disguised breath given by my eldest sister."

After listening to his words, the other demons nodded and began to examine their bodies.

A demon took off the hideous helmet on his head, revealing a face full of sweat.

It's not a demon, it's an elves.

However, the breath seemed to be covered by some kind of magic, disguised as a demon.

While fanning himself, he stuck out his tongue:

"Ha... This devil's armor is so hot, it's suffocating me, and it's really tiring to run all the way."

The leading demon looked at him with a frown and said:

"Put your helmet on, Demar, and don't go wrong when it matters."

"Uh... ok, Brother Mu."

The reprimanded "devil" put on his helmet shyly.

"Okay, let's rest and recharge first, and then we'll move on."

The leading demon withdrew his gaze and said.

After speaking, the group sat down one after another and began to rest, drinking water, drinking water, and checking equipment.

The few elves who sneaked into the vicinity of the fortress were none other than the players who took the quest from Eve.

After a day's hard work, they finally arrived at the location of the mission.

And now, the exploration mission is about to officially begin.

After a short rest, the players adjusted their state to the best.

"Are you all ready?"

Li Mu asked.

The other nine nodded.

"Then let's go, let's follow the other demons and sneak in through the front door..."

Li Mu said.

"Main entrance? Is there no other way?"

Xiao Xianmiao asked.

"I'm afraid not. I observed it. The fortress is very heavily guarded."

Li Mu shook his head.

Then, the conversation changed:

"But... the patrolling team is a ten-man team, and no one checks when we enter the fortress. I think we can also pretend to be a patrol team."

"No wonder Zero must have us form a team of ten."

Ji Ji nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, let's go! I'll take the lead, and those with the highest combat power will walk behind me, in order to prevent emergencies... Wait! Meow, don't come up! You go behind, let Bento and Dema go ahead. "

Li Mu said.

"Cut... my combat power is the number one mage..."

Xiao Xianmiao complained.

But in the end, she honestly walked to the back of the team.

High output does not mean strong response to engagement.

"And... Dema, don't kill yourself."

Li Mu reminded someone again.

Demacia has some grudges:

"Don't worry, Brother Mu, am I so untrustworthy?"

"not worth it."

Ji Ji and Xiao Xian Miao said in unison.

Demacia:  …

"Pfft..."

Seeing a few quarrelsome full-service bosses, Cyber ​​couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Okay, be quiet from now on, type something in the chat box, don't talk."

Li Mu said.

The other players nodded.

Then the group followed the example of the other demon patrols, lit the torches made of grease and devil vines, and walked towards the fortress.

As they approached the fortress, there were more and more teams of demons patrolling nearby, and the players became more focused and anxious at the same time.

However, to everyone's good fortune, the camouflage from the eldest sister was really powerful, and they were not stopped by the devil until they swaggered to the door of the fortress.

At the gate of the fort stood two tall demons guarding the gate, and they exuded an aura that made several people feel frightened.

These are two demons whose strength has reached the golden rank.

A demon with such strength is already a demon lord in the impression of several people, but here he is just a goalkeeper.

After seeing the group of people, the two tall demons cast their gazes over instantly.

Locked by the powerful breath, the nerves of the players tightened to the limit in an instant, ready to fight or run at any time.

However, the demons just glanced at them, and then withdrew their gazes with no interest.

The players breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Passed! You can sneak in, everyone should be vigilant and don't expose!"

Li Mu typed.

Then, he took nine people and officially infiltrated the fortress...

Entering the tall city wall of the fortress, the vision suddenly becomes clear.

What catches the eye are demon tents, and demons can be seen coming in and out from time to time.

Farther away, in the center surrounded by the tent, there were also lumps of black-red sarcoma and dendritic membranes that flickered on and off, flickering with dark red light, and the sarcoma in the center kept beating like a heart.

From time to time, you can see abyss worms spit out by the "heart", collected by the inferior demons, and then carried into the huge pit on the side.

There are several huge deep pits, and players even saw a bad demon with mucus all over his body crawling out of it, and some big demons were driven into another deep pit.

"Abyss Brood..."

Bento is typing on the chat channel.

Seeing his message, everyone's heart froze.

The abyss brood is a "machine" that produces demons and can produce a large number of abyss worms.

The abyss worms devoured each other and evolved into low-level little demons, that is, inferior demons, whose strength was at the black iron rank.

The inferior demons continue to devour each other, and will evolve into a great demon with silver strength.

The big demon is the main force of the demon army.

This... is one of the main ways that the abyss replenishes the blood of the demon army.

After playing for so long, players have long known this kind of information. There is no doubt that the fortress in front of them is the base for the demons to produce the army.

"Cyber, share the location of the mission."

Li Mu typed.

"OK."

Cyber ​​controls the game system.

Glancing at the highlighted spot on the minimap, Li Mu nodded secretly, and then continued to move forward cautiously with the team.

A few people are lucky, and there are many demons patrolling the fortress, and they are all acting in units of ten.

That's why their camouflage didn't attract much attention.

After bypassing a few Abyssal Broods, they finally arrived at the spot highlighted on the map.

It was a gate of planes that was constantly rotating.

From time to time, a demon with a strong breath can be seen walking out of it.

There is no demon guardian near the gate of the plane, but there is a three-headed dog of hell with a dark body, lying beside the door of the plane, sleeping soundly.

Between its breaths and breaths, red sparks can be seen continuously spewing out of its nostrils, and the terrifying and powerful pressure makes every passing demon unconsciously become cautious, watching His gaze was filled with fear.

Feeling the terrifying coercion that made life impossible to resist, the hearts of the players were raised in their throats.

Abyss Myth...

At the same time, such a thought floated in their minds.

"Cyber, there are too many plane gates here, which one are you talking about in the mission?"

Li Mu typed.

Cyber ​​swallowed a mouthful of saliva and marked the target on the minimap.

Looking at the target he marked, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

The marked gate of the plane is nothing but the closest one to the three-headed hellhound, which is dozens of meters in size.

right under him.

"I'm going... I know that this task can't be so simple."

Demacia complained on the chat channel.

Li Mu looked at the sleeping three-headed dog, and then looked at the other players.

After pondering for a moment, he typed:

"Everyone approach carefully, don't wake him up."

"After approaching the gate of the plane, I said jump, and then don't hesitate to jump in!"

"Xiao Xianmiao, take the golden scroll that the eldest sister gave you. If everyone is found, they will tear it up immediately."

The players made an "OK" expression in the chat channel, followed by Li Mu, and continued to approach cautiously.

They tiptoed, their hearts pounding with the three-headed three-headed dog's breath.

However, all the good luck came to an end.

"Hey! You guys! Don't patrol properly! What are you doing to disturb Lord Serbrus?!" (Devil Whisper)

Behind them, there was a roar of a demon.

I saw a demon lord standing more than 200 meters away, looking at everyone with bad eyes.

The next second, the purring of the three-headed hellhound stopped.

Oops!

Several people have this idea in their minds at the same time.

"Run! Sprint and jump into the gate of the plane!"

Li Mu stopped typing, but spoke quickly.

After finishing speaking, the players did not hesitate to run towards the gate of the plane under the three-headed dog.

However, before they could approach the gate of the plane, the three-headed dog of hell opened its eyes.

The three pairs of scarlet eyes looked at the players. For a moment, several players felt an extremely evil aura locked on them, and an unprecedented sense of fear appeared in their hearts.

This kind of fear is so real that even the boxed lunch with the strongest mental ability has stopped running.

They... can't move.

It was not physical control, but fear.

【Fear and Deterrence】

"Roar--!"

The three-headed hellhound roared at them, and the stench was spurted out of his mouth, almost suffocating a few of them...

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the three-headed dog, waving its paws, and patted the crowd.

Can't escape!

Such a thought floated in the hearts of the players.

"Little salty meow!"

Li Mu roared and trembled.

Xiao Xianmiao gritted her teeth and struggled to tear the golden scroll in her hand.

Golden rays of light bloomed in the scroll, and then, before the huge claws of the three-headed dog of hell could be photographed, a white arm suddenly blocked him from the depths of the void...

There's not a lot of holy light, and there's not as much fancy special effects as before.

In the astonished sight of the players, the void in front of them distorted, and a beautiful figure emerged.

Demacia's eyes widened instantly, and her mouth opened into an "O" shape:

"Fuck... female... goddess?"

It was none other than the goddess of life who appeared in front of the players, Eve.

And this time, his appearance was unprecedentedly low-key.

I saw him lightly tap the paw of the three-headed dog of hell, and the faint ripples spread, and the body of the three-headed dog instantly stiffened.

A trace of red light flashed across the three-headed dog of hell, which was the Heart of Withering activated by Eve.

The next second, the abyss myth trembled slightly and turned into ashes.

At this time, most of the demons in the fortress hadn't noticed what happened here, only the demon lord not far away widened his eyes and looked terrified.

Kill...

The players cheered.

However, before they could take a breath, thirteen powerful breaths suddenly rose up in all directions of the fortress.

In the shocking eyes of the players, I saw one after another in the sky that was more terrifying than the three-headed dog of hell just killed by the goddess...

They formed a circle and surrounded the entire demon fortress.

The power of the dark abyss continued to gather, dyeing the dark clouds in the entire sky into ink.

Looking at more than a dozen abyss myths that suddenly appeared around, Eve's expression was not flustered at all.

Without any hesitation, he threw a few players into the gate of the seat while summoning the gate of reversal to prepare to run away.

However, after casting the summon, the door of reversal that appeared in front of him did not successfully open the space channel.

At the same time, the players who were thrown into the gate of the plane by him actually fell out again.

And the gate of the plane that was constantly rotating was shattered and turned into nothingness.

Seeing this scene, Eve frowned slightly.

The next moment, four purple beams of light rose into the sky, forming a huge cage that enveloped the entire demon fortress.

Immediately afterwards, the most powerful of the thirteen breaths came out.

An octopus-like head, blue-black scales, a wide robe...

It is Leviathan, the abyss demon god with powerful divine power.

However, the aura on his body was not so powerful that it was despairing.

Obviously, what he came here is not the body, but an incarnation.

But even so, it still has the power of the peak of the medium divine power.

I saw him sneered and glanced at the surrounded beautiful figure, and said:

"Your Majesty the Goddess of Life, we finally meet."

"How about this gift we prepared, do you like it?"

Looking at the fifth devil who dominates the third layer of hell, Eve's expression gradually became solemn.

The worst case has finally happened.

This is really a conspiracy against him, and the other party has a way to seal the ability of the door of reversal!

Without hesitation, Eve instantly burned the divine power in the incarnation, and the strength of the true god incarnation soared from the peak of weak divine power to the peak of medium divine power consistent with the body!

This is the complete consolidation of his divine soul some time ago, and the new ability acquired after inheriting everything from his predecessor, which can temporarily increase the power of the incarnation to be consistent with the body.

Not only that, this true god incarnation can also have some kind of connection with his body, and can borrow the power of the body's 30% of the gods to a certain extent!

This is also the trump card that Eve knows that there may be a conspiracy and intends to come and explore.

Of course, this exercise of power comes at a price.

And the price is that the longer the peak strength and weakened God's Domain last, the greater the damage to the avatar.

In the worst cases, it may even crash the avatar directly.

But now, he doesn't care about anything.

Eve's body surged with divine power, golden rays of light bloomed, and light golden and light green light intertwined photons scattered, forming a sacred field.

Within the field, flowers bloom and vegetation grows.

It is the weakened version of the realm of life and nature.

The superposition of the dual gods, even if it is a weakened version, is stronger than the general true god!

Feeling the powerful power in him, a trace of fear flashed in the expressions of the dozens of abyss myths surrounding him.

Even Leviathan's eyes showed a dignified look.

And this solemnity turned into anger after Eve summoned the Sword of Damocles:

"Sword of Damocles?!"

Sword of Damocles!

As an ancient demon god, Leviathan also recognized this real artifact with the ability of [Absolute Severance] and a great reputation.

Without hesitation, Eve swung the divine sword and slashed towards the four beams of light that formed the cage...

He can perceive that it is the power that imprisons the gate of reversal in this cage!

As long as this cage is cut off, He can restart the gate of reversal.

The golden sword light slashed and hit the purple beam of light.

Then, the purple beam of light suddenly collapsed.

However, before Eve could breathe a sigh of relief, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a trace of ridicule flashing in Leviathan's eyes.

Oops……

Eve's heart sank.

The next moment, the beam of light that was cut off by Eve suddenly exploded, and even the other three beams of light exploded at the same time.

The space was suddenly distorted, and the bursting beam of light gathered in the center, forming a huge vortex above the fortress, sucking everything around it...

Even Eve, because it was too close to the vortex, was dragged in directly.

After a while, the world returned to peace.

At this moment, the demon fortress on the ground has disappeared.

What was left was only a terrifying giant crater with a radius of one kilometer.

"Your Majesty Leviathan, how? We only lost some demons and a three-headed hellhound, and the Goddess of Life was locked up by us."

An old voice sounded behind Leviathan.

Leviathan looked back at each other and snorted:

"It's just locked up first. If we shot together just now, we might be able to keep him."

The old voice continued:

"But in that case, the seal will be difficult to maintain in the aftermath of the battle, and he will have the opportunity to break the seal and leave."

"Even if it is a real victory, how many myths are still alive here? You don't want to lose too many people, right?

"So... it's better to just seal the goddess of life in this way..."

"Entering your sealed world, his artifacts will be invalid, and he will become your prisoner."

"If the source of his belief is destroyed again, he will completely become water without a source."

"When his power is exhausted, you can easily take everything from him...you don't even need to fight."

"Moreover, His appearance can also impact the beliefs of those creatures you want to conquer..."

Hearing this, Leviathan's expression gradually softened.

But soon, his brows were slightly wrinkled again:

"What if he subdued those creatures in the plane?"

"Do you think it's possible?"

The old voice asked back.

Leviathan chuckled and sneered:

"Of course it's impossible. It's impossible just because He is in charge of life and nature. Rather... I'm still looking forward to what kind of choices He will make when he sees his own clansmen..."

Saying that, he looked towards the north.

There, it is the direction of the player's stronghold.

Leviathan's eyes suddenly turned hideous:

"After waiting so long, it's time to attack..."
