Chapter 1217: The Invaded World Tree

On the planet that has been used as a testing ground for the exploration of mythological rituals, each god system has its own characteristics. If there is any difference between the World Tree God System and other God Systems, it must be counted as the World Tree Yuktrahir, which stands in the center of the jurisdiction of the World Tree God System and appears in the field of vision of humans from time to time and is worshiped by humans. According to the myth based on the facts of the Aesir gods, who are currently in power in the World Tree God System, after defeating Ymir, the ancestor of the Giant Race, the gods used Ymir's body as a material to create the nine worlds that contain the human world and the giant tree that carries the world, the World Tree Yggtrasil.

"Well, well, in fact, the authenticity of the myths made up by the gods of the World Tree God System still accounts for most of them, and the slain Ymir is about the same as the status of the creator god in the myth. Using Ymir as a material to create all things in heaven and earth is similar to the one in the opening heaven myth on the Shenzhou continent, in which Pangu's body turned into everything in the world after his death. But... If the true process of creating the World Tree were known to humans, there was a good chance that the gods of the World Tree would be treated as evil gods... ”

Looking up at the height reaching the sky, the visual effect presents a translucent and lush tree in the shape of a different space, Yaoyue bites a huge meat bag from nowhere, while commenting on the largest divine creation on the planet that has supported the world's tree god system for many years. Since the World Tree itself is a different space outside of normal space, the eight different dimensions and normal space travel to and from each other usually requires the use of a space passage called the Rainbow Bridge to communicate with each other. The location of the Rainbow Bridge is inhabited by the gods of the World Tree God System, preventing races trying to challenge the rule of the gods from reaching Asgard.

"Yes ... Until now, the way for the World Tree to maintain the survival of the World Tree is still to stimulate the vitality of the World Tree by sacrificing the blood of ignorant believers... ”

Although Chilian rarely fluctuates in her mood due to her personal habits, the World Tree God's practice of using believers as nourishment for the growth of the World Tree from time to time has more or less annoyed Chilian. It's not that the World Tree God is brutal and violent, but that the World Tree God is really cruel in treating humans as reproducible objects. Before dying, believers are constantly stimulated to give them the last hope, and then the fear of dispelling hope to gain greater weight and purity. By its very nature, the World Tree is a tree that grows from the torso of a giant formed by fear, and is more effective than belief in using negative emotions such as fear as nourishment.

And the perennial use of human believers' blood sacrifices is not without hidden dangers, a large number of human despair converged at the roots of the World Tree "fertilized", and after years of accumulation, a black dragon called Nidhogg was formed, which gnawed on the trunk all year round. The nourishment provided by the World Tree allowed the dragon, a symbol of despair, to grow rapidly, and when the World Tree God System found something wrong, it became a hidden danger that could shake the God System. In this regard, the World Tree Gods have compiled a corresponding myth to restrain them from taking a step out until they bite off the trunk of the World Tree. In addition, in order to ensure that Nidhogg is bound to the root of the World Tree, the gods with the ability to purify and heal are stationed in the area where Nidhogg eats the roots, and constantly heal the damaged parts to ensure that the repair speed of the World Tree is greater than that of the black dragon.

"The black dragon that can continue to gnaw on even other dimensions with a big mouth is a monster that is almost invincible during the Divine Era... The World Tree Divine System's attempt to maintain the existence of the World Tree has facilitated our current exploration of the Great Ritual of Mythology. The number of troops pulled up by the succubus kid was quite impressive, but most of them were rabble, not enough to threaten the gods of the World Tree God System. Because our family is closely related to the Infinite Apostle or is an Infinite Apostle itself, we cannot directly intervene in the development of the situation. Therefore, it is most effective to let the succubi go to the bottom of the World Tree to break the shackles of mythology and release the Dragon of Despair. ”

"What Sister Yaoyue said is... With the current state of emptiness in the World Tree God System, although the troops led by the succubus cannot conquer Asgard, it should not be a problem to defeat the low-fighting gods near the black dragon Nidhogg. The key is how to break the roots of the World Tree, which is not entirely made up of entities. The succubus's magical firepower is not up to the level of distorting space according to the values observed so far. ”

In the original plan, Xunxin and the others planned to give the succubus the artifact that destroyed the roots of the World Tree, and the succubus himself would complete the destruction of the roots of the World Tree. However, due to the unexpected effectiveness of the succubus's persuasion and wooing actions, the direction of the plan was slightly deviated, and the succubus himself had to reduce the items that could threaten the frost giants. The plan given by the starship host contains the possibility of the combination of the frost giant and the succubus, and the method of dealing with the succubus himself who cannot participate in destroying the roots of the world tree is the best candidate.

"Just now, Xin-chan has already sent the two people who have completed the induction mission of the Shenzhou Continent Alliance to destroy the root of the World Tree God System, and with the speed of the Bo Li God Nagi moving on the ground, it won't take long to reach the location of the World Tree. However, the gods of the World Tree God System are also not slow to react, and the Legion sent to the root of the tree through the Rainbow Bridge is not the ability of the dark creatures led by the succubus to win. It can be said that the key to whether the succubi can successfully destroy the roots of the World Tree depends on whether the two of them arrive at the roots of the World Tree in time and completely destroy the roots with spiritual power to dispel faith and fear. ”

Although Yaoyue's assessment of the situation can be described as a thousand moments, the slightest mistake in the dark creatures led by the succubus will drown in the army of heroic spirits and gods sent by the World Tree God Department. But the voice made by Yaoyue did not waver in the slightest, to say why, the computing power that is so precise as to predict the future makes the Xinxin group not afraid of all the accidents that may occur. Even now that the succubus had to go to the front line in person, maintaining the battle line with the massive magic artillery bombardment covering the battlefield with firepower, Yaoyue even had the leisure to sit next to the World Tree where the war was raging, and raised a wine glass to the moon in the sky that was faintly dyed red.

"The flames of war that have been kindled on this planet are not much different in scale from the future crisis facing the infinite world... In the upcoming exploration, there will be hope to open up despair, right? ”

This sentence is not said to Chilian beside her, but more like Yaoyue's self-comfort to the restless. However, Yaoyue's shoulders that were blown off by the wind and exposed to the air were covered by a warm palm, and Chilian leaned down slightly behind Yaoyue, whispering what she wanted to tell her sisters who had been with her since she was born.

"Believe it, Xin-chan, we, and all the lives of the infinite world, will definitely not die out of despair...
