Chapter 771: Treasure of Izalith - Ash Tree
Time passed quickly. More than half a month had passed since Mo Cheng killed the commander of the Crazy Legion.
Since three days ago, a wave has been spreading outward from the royal city of the Vahlan Empire.
A kind of fetal movement like the birth of a new life, that movement allowed the strong men of the human coalition to feel that something was about to be born.
Everyone can clearly feel that the day when Mad King Dom is born is approaching.
The most obvious change was that there were only three guards left guarding the city gate, and their strength began to increase abnormally.
Mo Cheng quietly looked at the scarlet mist that was constantly rolling at this time, and he had already felt it.
A powerful aura was born in the palace.
Not only him, but other strong men of the human coalition could feel it clearly.
Today is the day when the king [Mad King Dom] is completely born.
"That guy is about to come out of the womb." Mo Cheng waved his wrist, as if he was doing some warm-up exercises, and his whole body burst out with crisp sounds like frying beans. "There has been no news for so long, I thought he had a difficult birth."
The Glorious Pope looked up at the sky above the royal city. His clear and bright eyes seemed to see something. "It seems that His Majesty has already begun to judge us [traitors]."
"Everyone, are you ready?"
The rest of the strong men picked up their weapons and walked out of the camp of the human coalition in groups of three or four. Some walked alone, while others formed small teams, but their goals did not shift at all.
This was a tactic that had been discussed long ago. Among the strong ones, some were good at cooperation, some were good at fighting alone, and some even had fixed teams.
Therefore, the suggestion given by the Glorious Pope at that time was to let everyone use their best means, without forcing the assignment of tasks or partners. Anyway, everyone had been labeled by [Mad King Dom] by being able to come here, and if they didn't kill the other party, they would be killed by him, so there was no need to worry about someone not trying their best.
Otherwise, why would so many powerful people come here? It’s because they all know that if the [Mad King Dom] is born and the kingdom of God is spread on earth, then no matter where they hide, they cannot escape the word [death].
Soon, the strong men who set out first launched an attack towards the interior of the royal city, but Mo Cheng did not take action, but waited.
Waiting, waiting for the time for him to take action.
Suddenly, the fetal movement of birth jumped suddenly, followed by the shaking of heaven and earth, and all things were swaying. The ground of the royal city suddenly cracked, and something jumped out of it.
It was a towering spiral stone tree that suddenly rose from the deepest part of the earth, lifting the entire palace up to the sky, looking down on all living beings from above.
"That is..."
Even the Glorious Pope could not help but be surprised by the sudden appearance of this giant stone tree. He could clearly see the origin of this giant stone tree.
"The Ash Tree is a deadly thing at the bottom of the abyss. Its main function is to ignore the barriers of various planes and can pass through them directly."
Mo Cheng opened his mouth slowly and explained the origin of the thing before him, but he did not feel surprised.
He knew very early on that the power of the abyss was definitely involved in the Mad King's Rebellion. The existence of the witch Crana confirmed his thoughts. He even felt that the appearance of this big tree...
Most likely it’s the witch Clana’s fault.
The origin of the Tree of Ashes is unknown. The only thing that people know is that the main body of the Tree of Ashes was burned by the old witch Izalith with the fire of chaos, and only a piece of the tree root remained in the old witch's treasure house.
Only the old witch [Izalith] has the ability to activate the roots of the ash tree, which is only a fragment left, and make it grow.
The ability of the Ash Tree is simple and direct.
It means that one can ignore the existence of the plane crystal wall, allowing any existence to travel through the plane through the interior of the ash tree.
Theoretically, this thing can go straight through the Abyss, the Nine Layers of Hell, and the Nine Heavens.
I don't know if the old witch [Izalith] foresaw that keeping the Ash Tree would only plunge many planes into a chaotic war, so she decisively and directly burned the Ash Tree, leaving only a piece of the root as a backup when needed.
"How does Izalith keep watch over her own treasure house? Even a deadly thing like the Ash Tree could be stolen. She must be suffering from Alzheimer's disease, right?"
This time even Mo Cheng couldn't turn a blind eye any longer. The existence of the Ash Tree had caused the situation to become very bad.
Mo Cheng let out a long breath, and then saw the Glorious Pope. "I'm going to break into the inner part of the royal city. You suppress the Ash Tree and prevent it from passing through the crystal wall of the plane. Is there any problem?"
In addition to its ability to ignore the crystal walls of planes, the Ash Tree also has a relatively inconspicuous companion ability, which is the ability to absorb energy from other planes through its roots or branches.
Combining this ability with the birth of [Mad King Dom], the only thing Mo Cheng could think of was a complete [God] that completely manifested in the material world, without any weaknesses like [God descended from Heaven].
The power of the Ash Tree is enough to make up for all possible defects of Mad King Dom.
The Glorious Pope did not speak, but took off his crown and robes, and handed the scepter in his hand to the bishop beside him, "From now on, you are the new Pope."
As he spoke, a group of bishops of the Glorious Church came forward, surrounded the Glorious Pope, and sang hymns.
The ritual of [God’s Descent] has begun.
Mo Cheng had no intention of staying. He walked straight out of the human coalition camp and looked at the palace that towered into the clouds.
He could feel that there was a gaze looking at him from a high position.
The downward gaze was watching him, and at the same time inviting him to reach up to the sky for [communication].
"Mo Cheng..."
When Mo Cheng was about to transform into an ancient dragon, someone called him from behind. It was Margaret and Dorothy.
Looking at the two men who were fully armed at some point, Mo Cheng sighed softly, "I guess you won't listen if I advise you to go back and find a place to stay now."
"No, I will still listen." Dorothy answered seriously, "I will just find a way to break into the royal city after you leave."
Margaret looked into Mo Cheng's eyes and said very seriously, "We are a team. We can't push everything onto you."
Then, the two of them said in unison: "And you still remember what happened before."
"You asked us if we would accompany you into hell. "
"There's nothing like hell right now."
"Or do you want to give up your promise?"
