Chapter 422: God of the Satellite World
Chapter 422: God of the Satellite World
The unfathomably colossal tree was being pulled out of the Rift. Although the giant mass of countless roots of the World Tree being squeezed out of the Rift looked like a baby being born, it was more akin to a mother dragging their child out of their room by the hair.
A thunderous sound echoed as if the sky itself was being upturned. No, the sound was so massive that it would be no exaggeration to say that it could be heard throughout Aernor.
"Aaaaaaaahhh!" the evacuating citizens screamed as they covered their bleeding ears.
"Celestial Protection!" Han Seol-Ah chanted.
Layla also quickly chanted, "O Gaia, bring down your blessing unto the powerless."
The white light that poured out from them protected the people from the ear splitting sound shaking the entire capital.
"H-hyung-nim?!" Kim Si-Hun looked at Oh Kang-Woo in surprise.
He did not think it was possible to uproot and pull out a tree dozens of kilometers tall. The colossal scale of events sent shivers down his spine.
"Focus," Balrog said to the flustered Si-Hun. He looked up at the roots of the World Tree being pulled out of the Rift and muttered, "... There is something there."
"What?"
Si-Hun looked at where Balrog was looking as well. As he had mentioned, a purple light lingered around the giant mass of roots of the World Tree.
"That’s…" Si-Hun slurred.
"There is no time to waste." Balrog jumped on one of the roots and ran up.
"Ngh!" Si-Hun followed after him.
"Wh-where are you going?!" Cha Yeon-Joo shouted as she ran after Si-Hun.
"Lady Elune, this way!" Layla grabbed the collapsed Elune’s hand and flew up to the sky.
Seol-Ah, Echidna, and the other party members quickly chased after Balrog and Si-Hun.
"Kang-Woo!"
Seol-Ah looked around for Kang-Woo after climbing on a tree root after Si-Hun. Kang-Woo, who had come up with the insane idea of pulling the World Tree out of the Rift by its root, was panting severely.
"Haaa, so fucking heavy," he cursed as he frowned.
His entire body was screaming in pain after squeezing out all the demonic energy he had without opening the Doors. His vision momentarily blurred; it had been a long time since he had experienced demonic energy exhaustion.
"Fuuu, haaa," Kang-Woo took deep breaths to compose himself.
He could feel the demonic energy he had used up all at once filling back up through the Ten Thousand Demon Core. He wanted to rest some more, but he knew better than anyone that it was not the time.
He looked at the area where purple light was lingering somewhat drearily. The mix of black and purple made it look inexplicably otherworldly.
"That’s…"
Kang-Woo narrowed his eyes. He remembered seeing the purple energy around the World Tree root somewhere before.
He recalled the god of vengeful spirits with a giant scythe, but he shook his head.
He was sure that he had seen it somewhere before, but it was not coming to him.
"Tsk," Kang-Woo clicked his tongue and crouched down.
He did not have the leeway to
"Hyung-nim!" Si-Hun turned to Kang-Woo as if not interested in Moab’s excuses.
Kang-Woo nodded as his eyes shone sharply. "Yeah, Si-Hun."
As long as Moab revealed that he was one of the Four Heavenly Kings, there was no longer any need for chatter.
Their sacrifices could not be left in vain.
"It’s time for us to avenge those great heroes."
