Nameless King



The Tree was located in a lifeless desert so nothing for many kilometers around would prevent it from creating new Constructs and growing energy crystals. 

More accurately, it was the other cities that were protected from the Tree. Since like any Tree, this one had roots, and they were massive, spreading across most of the desert.

Though it was partially made of metal, the Tree was possibly the tallest plant of all the worlds, even in Plant World, there were no trees as massive as this one.

"Hehehehe, not bad." Alucard smirked as a long flash from Liang's sweep traveled across the desert.

Then, the desert split in two as the slash quickly reached the barrier around the Tree.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Several layers of the barrier were easily destroyed, but the more powerful ones were still able to stop Liang's attack.

"Shit... It was just an amplified sweep, wasn't it?" Marlis muttered in disbelief.

Sven nodded, "Yeah, if he wants he can repeat it as many times as he wants. What's more, it's far from the most powerful attack he's capable of."

Step. Step. Step.

Liang paced through the air, looking at the gorge that was left after his attack. Tons of sand, like streams of water, flowed into the gorge from the edges, trying to fill it, but deep below was only darkness.

"Hmm... How interesting. Looks like the Tree is much stronger than I thought." Liang muttered, looking at the massive roots of the Tree that ran through the gorge.

Liang's attack managed to destroy the first three roots that were in his path, but the rest remained intact.

"That's not surprising, though, considering how much energy they have. This is just some kind of madness." Liang frowned, looking at the dense blue streams of energy that were coming out of the damaged roots.

The energy was so dense that it looked like plasma, it was a weapon in itself because of its high concentration.

Liang sighed, then he rushed forward. This was not his battlefield, everything would happen in front of the city and he realized that, so there was no point in him lingering here.

However, for someone following him, the energy coming out of the roots was more interesting.

With a light flow of wind, Alucard appeared in front of one root, looking at the streams of energy sometimes hitting the air like whips.

"Hehehehe, let's see what you can do." Alucard smirked predatorily before reaching out to one of the energy streams.

Crackle.

The energy stream connected with Alucard, quickly filling his body with power, however, after a few seconds the situation spiraled out of control and Alucard's arm exploded.

"Damn... Though I didn't try hard, even my body couldn't withstand it for long... This energy is a true treasure. I wonder how much of it is in the core?" Alucard pondered, as he glanced at the Tree.

"Whatever, from the looks of it, I'll find out soon enough." Alucard shrugged nonchalantly and followed Liang. His arm had already recovered.

However, Marlis who was following them was not as calm as he was.

"Is something wrong?" Sven noticed it.

"Yeah... It's just that from the looks of it, Liang isn't going to stop. What happens if he destroys the Tree? If the energy from the core comes out, it will be the greatest disaster for the entire world!" Marlis exclaimed with a worried expression.

Sven sighed, "Your worries are irrelevant. We're looking at what has already happened. In any case, it's unlikely that the Tree was completely destroyed, so even if it was, which I doubt, it has long since recovered in our time."

Marlis nodded, nibbling her finger.

Wain remained silent, he watched the events, waiting for the one who was supposed to stop Liang to appear, at least try to do so.

Whoooooosh.

Approaching the Tree, Liang made a few more swings of his sword. They were not as strong as the previous one, but it was enough to destroy a few more barriers.

Then, he descended to the ground, finding himself right in front of the entrance to the city.

"Oh... Just as I expected, they're already waiting for me. Quite commendable." Liang said, looking at the six silhouettes that were on the other side of the barriers. They were the Tree Guardians, one of whom Liang had already killed in his world.

One of the silhouettes waved his hand, and powerful electric shocks appeared on the barrier, revealing a small passage for Liang.

Liang shrugged his shoulders, stepping inside.

He was only one, and there were six Guardians, one of whom was on the Transcendence Stage, but that was no threat to Liang at all.

The Guardians also realized this, so they were in no hurry to attack Liang, that would be insane and tantamount to simple suicide.

"Mr. Liang, do you realize there is no turning back?" One of them spoke in a majestic voice, "You attacked the Tree, that is the greatest sin you could commit against our race."

Liang frowned, "Shut up. You don't decide anything here anyway, you can bully others, but in front of those with true power you're just trash!"

The Guardians frowned. No one dared to say such a thing to them, it was disrespect in the highest degree, but they couldn't express their displeasure to Liang, he was much stronger than them.

"Whatever. You came straight to the tree, to a place where we have almost infinite energy, and that was your mistake." The Guardian said threateningly, "However, you're right. We will not fight you, the honor of killing the one called The Strongest One goes to our leader!"

"In that case, don't you dare interfere with me." Liang menacingly said with a wave of his hand.

Whooooooosh.

This simple action created powerful gusts of wind that knocked the Guardians off their feet and made them fly away from Liang. They remained at the boundaries of the barrier, as they were not the protagonists here.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Suddenly, clouds appeared in the midst of the clear sky, quickly covering the entire space. Lightning discharges passed through each cloud, creating a formidable and dangerous atmosphere throughout the desert.

These changes could be seen by every inhabitant of the Construct World, regardless of their location. Constructs who had lived for quite some time had seen something like this before, and they knew what it meant.

"Our Ruler is about to fight... but... Against whom?" Some Construct muttered with a worried expression, pressing his palm to his chest.

Construct, unlike other races, valued knowledge, and technology more than training, arcane skills, or special body structure. However, like everyone else in this world, they respected power, and clearly, their leader was the most powerful Construct.

"Here we go." Liang muttered, looking at the blue flash heading straight for him.

Lightning discharges were spreading around, powerful enough to destroy an entire village, but right now it was just the residual power that the flash was losing as it moved.

Crackle.

The flash slammed into Liang, colliding with his sword, then a tremendous pulse passed through Liang's body, throwing him back hundreds of meters with tremendous speed.

With his body, Liang left a long streak on the surface of the desert before the inertia died down, allowing Liang to stop.

"Not Bad." Liang calmly said, glanced at his chest.

This simple collision had left a burn on his body, quite faint, but the fact that he had taken real damage was important.

"Still don't regret your decision?" A majestic, feminine voice spread out, penetrating Liang's mind.

Liang shook his head, "No. Today, either all of you will die and I will make a bonfire out of your Tree, or I will die. It's as simple as that."

"What arrogance..." Nitra muttered, descending to the ground.

She had long purple hair, blue eyes, and a multitude of energy defense plates on her body, each occasionally giving off shocks of electricity. She wore a black, military uniform, loose, not restricting her movements in any way.

Her weapons were the special gloves on her hands, they weren't massive like combat gloves, but for her, it wasn't necessary.

Nitra only used the gloves to gather momentum at one point, after all, she had more than enough firepower. 

There was so much energy in Nitra that it was trying to constantly burst out, so when she used her power in one direction, it was really something serious.

"The progenitor of the Constructs, Nitra, God of Thunder. The day has finally come when we will fight." Liang calmly said, gazing intently into the eyes of his enemy.

Nitra frowned, "Yes, you're right. However, what is that bastard doing here!"

Nitra pointed at Alucard hovering in the distance. She was willing to fight Liang despite his Title, after all, they were both Progenitors. However, if Alucard helped Liang, then it would be over for her. These were not opponents that could be defeated alone. 

Liang glanced at him, "Oh, don't worry, my friend just wants to watch our fight and my wrath that I'm about to unleash on your most valuable treasure."

Alucard smirked. Because of his peculiar hearing, he could hear every word Liang said even though he was so far away that from their distance he looked more like a black dot than a person.

Nitra made a great grimace as shocks of lightning went through her body.

"Bastard. You were our ally! Don't you realize that there is nothing like a world that will obey the one person!" Nitra exclaimed.

"Oh...? Really? In that case, enlighten me." Liang arrogantly tilted his head and cast a disdainful glance at her.
