The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"This is...?" After entering the cloud, without any interference from unknown forces, Sylvia saw the actual situation in the cloud, and what she saw made her gasp.

"Tree roots, all are tree roots!" Leo gave the answer directly.

I saw that after entering the clouds and mist, the mountains of Truber Mountain were all covered by tree roots that were so thick that it took more than a dozen people to hug them together, spreading upward until the end of the line of sight, and this kind of coverage was not like that. Like parasitic plants, there is only one layer on the surface. Instead, there are all intertwined tree roots from the surface to the inside, which Leo had previously perceived with the spiritual net.

If Leo's guess is correct, then all the mountains from the holy altar to the top of the mountain should have been replaced by tree roots, that is to say, they have actually left Truber Mountain since they stepped into the cloud area. up.

In the Black Forest of Velen World, huge plants are not uncommon, but this is the first time Sylvia has seen such a huge plant whose roots already occupy half of the mountain, which also caused a surprised expression It stayed on her face for a long time without fading.

However, compared to Sylvia's astonishment, Leo seemed very calm, because he had seen plants bigger than this one. That plant was a planet, and the whole picture could only be seen clearly by taking a spaceship.

Although in terms of body shape, the plant under his feet did not make Leo's emotions fluctuate much, but the power contained in the plant made him frown slightly.

These seemingly huge plant roots in the eyes of ordinary people are bio-energy storages in Leo's eyes. Under the dual detection of his spiritual network and spiritual vision, he found that the energy contained in each root is so strong, It is enough to destroy the entire Trube Mountain area, and it will not be much weaker than the big explosion that changed the terrain that occurred in the Beruk area.

This is just the explosion effect produced by the energy contained in one root. If all the roots that make up half of Truber Mountain detonate the energy contained in it, then this world may no longer exist.

When Leo thought of this, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and following the memory of the familiarity, he soon realized why the situation in Truber Mountain made him feel familiar.

At the same time, a somewhat crazy idea could not help appearing in his mind, that is, Truber Mountain is a destruction device set up by World Tree in this world. Once certain situations occur, this device will be activated to completely destroy this world , because the laboratories he had seen in the Earth Federation that were defined as the most dangerous also had similar things.

"What's wrong with you?" At this time, Sylvia had just recovered from the shock of the huge plant in front of her eyes, she immediately saw the serious expression on Leo's face, and couldn't help asking.

"I just thought of a terrible thing." Leo didn't hide it, but directly expressed his conjecture.

After hearing this, Sylvia felt that this idea was a bit absurd at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was possible, because in the inheritance memory of the abyss dragon she obtained, the upper races of the abyss also did similar things. The thing is, the world detonated by those abyssal races is just a small world. In Leo's words, it is a fragment of a subspace plane. A big world like the current one, and a big world with many gods, I am afraid that in the abyss Those masters came, and it was impossible to do it.

"Let's go! Go up and have a look, and you should be able to find more useful things." Leo was not afraid of the danger in front of him. Instead, he was full of excitement like a child who got a new toy. Walking towards the mountain along a mountain road made up of thick roots.

Sylvia wasn't as excited as Leo showed, and her face was more worried, because if it was as Leo guessed, then they were in mortal danger all the time, This state of being out of her control is the state she dislikes the most.

However, she didn't say much, she just collected her emotions and followed quickly.

On the way, Leo didn't stop thinking about it. The main question was whether the mysterious existence of Truber Mountain held the energy contained in the root of the tree, or whether the energy itself was produced by him.

This problem didn't bother him for too long, and soon he analyzed from all the information he had obtained that the mysterious existence of Truber Mountain that he fought with Sylvia before should not be able to control the energy in the root system.

If the mysterious existence can control the huge energy in the root system, it doesn't need to release all of it. It only needs to release a little bit of energy in the root system to disperse the abyss dragon flame that Sylvia ignited the trees without needing to mobilize the clouds In order to extinguish the flames, there is no need to draw power from other areas of Truber Mountain to fight against Sylvia. The energy contained in any one of these roots is enough to have an unrestricted fight with Sylvia The fight is over.

Judging from various circumstances, that mysterious existence can only control the unknown forces that shroud the surrounding area of ​​Truber Mountain, and it is impossible for him to control the root system energy that makes up half of the mountain.

In addition, Leo also discovered that one of the judgments he made before may be wrong, that is, the mysterious existence of Truber Mountain, whether it is an old Karita demon or not, his life form has not evolved to an Omega level. The level of the living body, that is to say, he is not God.

This is also judged by the energy in the root system, because although the energy stored in these root systems is huge, the energy level is not particularly high. If the life level of the mysterious existence has reached the level of the gods, it is also related to these roots. If it is, then judging by the life level control theory of the universe, He must be able to control these energies.

However, even so, the life level of this mysterious existence should not be too low, at least it has reached the level of a ninth-level psyker, and it is only one step away from the final transformation. The state is very similar to the state of the God's Domain, and the minimum condition for creating a God's Domain is to touch a demigod in the God's Domain, not a newcomer like Leo and Silvia who have just stepped into the demigod level.

"There seems to be something wrong!" Compared to Leo who was walking and thinking about problems, Sylvia, who was always vigilant, was more alert to the surrounding situation. She quickly discovered a problem and said: "What about the lumberjack family who entered the cloud before? His speed should not be faster than ours. Why didn't we meet him along the way?"

Leo broke away from his thoughts for a while, thought for a while, and said, "No, we have already met that member of the lumberjack family, and even passed by that person, but we didn't know it."

Sylvia hesitated for a while, and soon thought of a situation that Leo had mentioned, and confirmed: "Is it the mirror space?"

Leo nodded. In his opinion, the domain of any god is a mirror space. Although it is only a space, it has been artificially divided into countless parts. Each space is the same space, but its position is completely different. Staggered, resulting in a spatial dislocation.

If the member of the lumberjack family didn't have an accident midway, then he should be in a certain mirror space, passing by Leo and Sylvia who are also in the same mirror space.

The two didn't get entangled in Hoffman's affairs. Their main goal now was to get to the top of the mountain as soon as possible, so they both quickened their pace.

Because of the effect of the imprint, the two did not encounter any obstacles in the process of going up the mountain. On the contrary, Leo saw some things worth noting from time to time and slowed down a little, but even so, the two were still walking behind the clouds After about two hours, we passed through the cloud and mist area and came to the top of Truber Mountain.

The moment they set foot on the top of the mountain, the surrounding clouds and mists quickly dissipated, and everything became the same as the ground. At this moment, Leo and Silvia also saw the whole picture of the top of Truber Mountain.

I saw a huge tree with a diameter of several thousand meters going straight upwards, piercing through the sky, and reaching deep into the sky, and the end of the tree was not an endless starry sky or a tree crown, but an indescribably large treetop branch and leaves , and the tree is not so much growing from the ground as it is the branch extending from the sky.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Sylvia was so shocked that she forgot to breathe. After a long time, she turned around and said abruptly, "Fruit, this is actually a fruit."

Although Sylvia's words were a bit out of mind, Leo understood that what she meant was that this world was nothing more than a fruit condensed from the world tree in the sky.

Leo had expected this kind of situation, but even so, the shock in his heart was still not much smaller than that of Sylvia, and it took him a long time to recover.

He looked around, and there was no difference between the surroundings and the tops of other high mountains. They were also covered by a thick layer of ice and snow, but the surrounding air did not seem cold, and the unknown force that originally enveloped the entire Truber Mountain area They also disappeared at this moment, that is to say, even without the protection of the mark and the disguise of the amulet, Leo and Silvia would not have any adverse reactions.

Although the place where the two of them set foot is already considered the top of the mountain, there is still a hillside about several hundred meters away from the real top, that is, the connection between the trees and the top of Truber Mountain. , it may be difficult for ordinary people to climb up.

Leo and Sylvia were naturally not among ordinary people. After their emotions calmed down a little, they stepped onto the ice layer, walking up quickly as if they were walking on an ordinary road. In just a few minutes, I walked across a snowy slope that seemed like a Jedi to ordinary people, and I really stood at the top of Truber Mountain.

I saw that when the huge tree in front grew to the junction of the top of Truber Mountain, it shrank rapidly, and finally shrunk to only a dozen meters in diameter, and then several branches were entangled together, blending into the roots of the half of Truber Mountain below. , regardless of each other.

The rapidly shrinking trees just formed a zenith on the top of Truber Mountain, and the huge vines hanging down around it formed a natural windscreen, so that there was not much ice and snow inside the tree curtain.

Seeing this scene, normal people would feel that if they stood under the zenith of the tree, they might feel that the zenith might collapse at any time, killing the people below, but Leo and Sylvia, who knew the actual situation, were even more I was worried that the connection between the trees, which were only a dozen meters in diameter, would be too weak to withstand the pressure of a world, and would break apart. This world would keep falling like a fruit falling from a tree, and finally fall into the abyss at the bottom.

"Look!" Sylvia pointed to a burl-shaped sphere at the junction, and motioned.

"It seems that it should be the Carita we are looking for." Leo looked over there, and then asked Sylvia, "Are you ready?"

Sylvia didn't answer, and walked over there directly, and Leo followed after seeing this situation.

Soon the two came to the burl and looked up.

This tree tumor is very large, almost twice the size of the trunk at the junction, and the surface is uneven, and those unevenness is affected by the surrounding light and shadow, making people who see it feel like they are watching monsters screaming, The yelling face is a bit frightening.

It seems that Leo and Sylvia are not the first visitors here. At the junction, there are nearly a hundred frozen corpses kneeling around, looking like they are worshiping the tree burl above.

The well-preserved features of this line of frozen corpses are not difficult to find. These people should all be members of the lumberjack family, and they may even be the family patriarch or senior elders.

Leo released the spirit net and probed towards the tree burl. As a result, the spirit net disappeared inexplicably as soon as it touched the trees at the junction.

Leo was not surprised by this situation, because it was not surprising that anything happened here.

He then told Sylvia about the situation, and Sylvia also tried to use her method to investigate the situation. As a result, just like Leo's mental net, her power also collapsed and disappeared the moment it touched the tree.

Sylvia wanted to touch the tree trunk curiously, but was immediately stopped by Leo, and then he pointed to the burl on the top of his head and said: "Although it is very likely that nothing will happen, it may also change." Be like it."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Sylvia back for a distance, and then suggested: "Let's try to attack that tree burl with our strongest strength and see what the consequences will be."

"That's a good idea." Sylvia nodded in agreement.

After finishing speaking, the two began to use the strongest power they possessed. Sylvia was naturally the flame of the abyss dragon, but this time she was no longer just creating a ball of flame like before, but the power to drive the flame Cast an abyss spell that only the abyss dragons can cast, and created a black hole-like object in front of them.

On the other side, Leo did not use the thunder gun, but began to use the projection power of the stone throne in his mind, and an illusion of a stone throne was formed behind him at this moment.
