Chapter 350: Six Valkyrie Sisters
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Xia Yu's eyes, which had merged into the golden buds, burst into dazzling golden light. Golden runes emerged from his body, moving wildly like tattoos.
Xia Yu opened his hands and raised them upwards. Runes gathered at his fingertips, then broke through the epidermis and turned into golden sprouts that grew wildly.
His black hair turned golden and grew at an extremely fast speed until it reached his feet.
"New life! Abundance!"
Xia Yu muttered casually with no expression of sadness or joy. His golden hair that extended to his feet was embedded in the roots of the tree, and his whole body was growing healthily like a human-shaped plant.
After a moment, Xia Yu, who was growing wildly, closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the golden light had disappeared and his pupils had returned to their normal color.
The dark brown, almost black eyes swept around calmly, and the body that was originally growing wildly like a plant stopped abruptly.
The next second, both the growing body and the buds breaking through the fingertips shrank back under the power of the law as if time was going backwards.
"Tsk, I almost became a vegetable. This law of abundance is really powerful."
After pulling out all his golden hair that was stuck in the tree roots, Xia Yu murmured as if sighing.
That’s right, the pure golden sprouts just now are the Law of Fertility that Michaela left here.
And now, the law of abundance has been possessed by him.
Combined with the words that Michaela left in the virtual image before the Law of Plenty emerged...
"He is indeed a good person... no, he is a good god."
Xia Yu looked at the twisted virtual image of the tree roots and couldn't help but sigh.
Not only did he leave behind the Law of Fertility, but all he asked for was for a new world where all life, no matter how beautiful or ugly, could grow and thrive according to its own nature.
The magnitude of this vision made him feel a little inferior. It was truly commendable that he could still have a heart of universal love in such a cruel and chaotic world.
"Since you are willing to trust the latecomers, then I, a latecomer, cannot let you down."
Xia Yu talked to himself at the virtual image of the tree roots, then shook his long golden hair behind him, raised his hand and grew out thin golden vines to tie it into a ponytail.
It’s nice to try a new look occasionally, and blonde hair looks pretty cool.
But if you think about it carefully, Marika's genes are really strong. Whether it is a boy or a girl, the hair color of her offspring will be the same as hers.
Only the Omen Twins failed to inherit their mother's hair color due to a mutation.
"Now that we have the Law of Plenty, we can try to integrate the Law of Corruption and remove it from Marlennia's body. Wait, is this also part of your plan, Michaela?"
Xia Yu was shocked, but soon he felt that he was overthinking.
Not to mention whether Michaela would have expected that the latecomer would want to save Marennia, the fusion of the laws alone is not something that ordinary people can do.
Michaela had to water the holy tree, tapping into the power of the law of abundance little by little from the beginning, and then create a new law that could accommodate all the laws.
And that new law that will be all-embracing may be the new era law after the Golden Rule.
Compared to the exclusive Golden Rule, the new law will be a more perfect existence.
So, Munger, you deserve to die.
Retracting his thoughts, Xia Yu looked at the tree spirit again. This time, he could try to make Malenia be reborn.
Furthermore, compared to his previous desire to seize Monger's ring fragment, he now really wants to try to rescue Michaela.
How could such a demigod with such great love be defiled by Mung? Mung is not worthy of it.
While thinking about it, Xia Yu raised his hand and grew the roots of the sacred tree, completely wrapping up the tree spirit, then his eyes burst into golden light again, and he sat cross-legged on the ground.
After obtaining the Law of Fertility, there was no need for darkness to erode the Holy Tree. The Holy Tree already belonged to Xia. Since the Holy Tree was already his, it was naturally his responsibility to eradicate the scarlet corruption that was parasitic on the Holy Tree.
Perhaps we can try to use abundance to guide corruption into new life and let the sacred tree grow again.
It would be best if you succeed, but don’t feel bad if you fail, because it’s like getting it for free anyway.
Time passed slowly.
Golden runes flowed around Xia Yu, and two large runes floated around him, infusing the power of laws into the golden runes around him.
The law of birth and life should have been a part of the Golden Law, but because the ring was broken, it can now be used alone.
Suddenly, Xia Yu raised his hand and the golden symbol turned into a big hand, which reached deep into the tree roots, and then suddenly pulled out a red-haired figure.
After pulling out the eldest sister from the Valkyrie's human clone, Xia Yu threw her aside.
Mary, the eldest sister who was thrown aside, opened her eyes in confusion and suddenly found that her eyes, which had been blinded by corruption, had regained their sight.
Before she could figure out what was happening, the rune hand pulled out three red-haired figures again and threw them aside.
Those were her sisters, Jasmine, Amy and Pollyanna.
Afterwards, the last red-haired figure was taken out by the rune hand and gently placed aside. Compared to the ones who were thrown away casually, the rune hand treated the last person completely differently.
The eldest sister Mary felt a little jealous, and when she looked carefully, she realized that the younger sister who was gently put aside was Millicent.
Thinking back to the fact that this younger sister could fight four alone... well, forget it, she is the eldest sister and can't argue with her younger sister.
Besides, it was the hand that was treated differently, and it had nothing to do with her sister. That's right, that's it.
After the self-counseling, the eldest sister Mary recalled the memory of herself and other sisters fighting with swords against Millicent, and suddenly felt a little ashamed.
By then, they had been corrupted and parasitized to the point of losing their minds, but even so, Millicent did not kill them, she simply knocked them out.
"Millicent, I'm so sorry. We were..."
The eldest sister Mary walked over with a guilty look on her face, and was about to apologize on behalf of the other sisters when Millicent, who had just regained consciousness, suddenly became alert.
"Don't come over here!"
Millicent was still unaware that her sister had regained consciousness, and when she was about to draw her sword to be on guard, she suddenly realized that her weapon was not in her hand.
Seeing this, the eldest sister Mary also reacted, but her younger sister Millicent was still unaware that she had regained her consciousness.
She had no choice but to pull the remaining sisters over and explain things while apologizing sincerely.
After the five sisters were reborn, the rune hand collapsed into golden runes.
As the runes flew, Xia Yu closed his eyes and thought deeply. At this moment, there were twin sprouts in his body, one gold and one red, growing intertwined.
This is the complete law of reincarnation: rebirth - abundance - decay - corruption - rebirth -
Natural cycle, the law of reincarnation.
It is also the strongest power he has obtained in the Elden Ring World so far, an endless and complete power of law.
Of course, inheriting the corrupt laws also meant that the corrupt gods had set their sights on him.
But he is not as easy to control as Marlennia, and the corrupt god is still sealed and has no effect on him at all.
Xia Yu opened his eyes, and countless runes flowed in them. As he thought about it, the roots that wrapped the tree spirit suddenly bloomed like flowers.
This scene immediately attracted the five sisters. They stopped communicating and stared at the place where the flowers were blooming.
The blooming flower that they were most afraid of now had no intention of resisting at all, because the flower that bloomed was not a scarlet flower, but a pure golden flower.
In the flowers, Malenia, who was curled up in a ball hugging herself, slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were full of confusion, as if she didn't understand what was going on.
Compared to her former huge size, Malenia is now about the same size as Millicent and the others, and is the size of an ordinary person.
“I am…”
Marennia stretched her body, slowly stood up, and looked ahead in confusion.
When he saw Xia Yu coming over, joy appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and muttered.
"elder brother!"
"Forehead……"
Xia Yu was stunned, raised his hand awkwardly and waved, "You got the wrong person, I'm not your brother, your brother is still in the cocoon."
While explaining, Xia Yu raised his hand and clapped his hands with Marlenia. A flash of fire passed by, and a piece of clothing was put on Marlenia's body.
Now that Malenia is no longer parasitic on the scarlet corruption, she no longer needs pure gold, and ordinary clothes will not be corroded by corruption when worn on the body.
"Not my brother?"
Marennia held Xia Yu's hand, feeling the familiar breath, and couldn't help shaking her head.
"You are my brother. You have a familiar aura. Brother, you did not break the promise . You are finally back!"
After saying that, Marennia hugged Xia Yu tightly, as if she was a helpless little girl who finally found a relative she could rely on.
"this……"
Xia Yu's body stiffened, and he felt Marennia trembling. He couldn't help but soften his heart, and reached out to pat her on the back to comfort her.
"Alright, alright, don't be sad. You are a Valkyrie. How can a Valkyrie look like a little girl? Don't be sad."
With Xia Yu's gentle and soft words of comfort, Malenia finally stopped trembling. After a moment, she raised her head and left Xia Yu's arms.
"Thank you very much for your help."
Marennia first bowed deeply to express her gratitude, then she stood up straight, exuding an unusually sharp aura.
"Excuse me, do you know where my brother is? I want to rescue him!"
Hmm? Looks like he's finally reacted.
Seeing Malenia like this, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows. He didn't think he could really pretend to be Michaela.
The only similarity between him and Michaela is probably the blonde hair. As for why Marennia made the mistake, it was probably due to the influence of the Law of Plenty.
After all, this is the law that Michaela has been carrying since birth, so it is normal that Malenia did not react for a while.
"Xia Yu, what are we doing..."
At this time, Millicent also came over with her sisters. Looking at Marlenya, who was closely related to the five sisters, she no longer felt the previous excitement in her heart.
It seems... fate no longer has any connection.
“You guys…”
Xia Yu made way so that Marenia could also notice the five Millicent sisters.
"You are now the six Valkyrie sisters. You can regard Marlene as the eldest sister. Of course, you can also regard her as the youngest sister. It all depends on your own ideas."
"As for what happened, let's talk about it as we walk. As for where we are going, we are going to save your brother Michaela."
