Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 113 All
"Are you in a hurry?"
The member of the Star Parliament repeated William's words with a tone of half confusion and half mockery.
Although he didn't know why the first person to come here was neither Remedios as they had expected, nor the Oak Council who were ready to make a move in the Holy Tree City, there was no doubt that the Storm Man in front of him was emitting extremely obvious hostility.
On the other hand, the fact that he was able to directly break through the external barrier and teleport into the White Bone Palace at least showed that his opponent had high attainments in the art of magic - at the very least, he was definitely a formidable opponent.
Therefore, he continued:
"What a coincidence, we are also in a hurry..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a flash before his eyes.
Clearly, the man was standing in the corner of the hall, and the magic array of the "Witch Kingdom" controlled by him was constantly locking onto the other party's etheric domain. But the other party only moved his lips slightly - he couldn't even feel the flow of magic power... The next moment, the man appeared in front of him.
How is this done? Instant short-distance teleportation magic?
But even so, it couldn't be so fast. There wasn't even a hint of electric light that could cause space to break around him, leaving him no chance to react at all.
"I've already said..."
Without even giving him time to be surprised, William grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up from the throne. After quickly cutting off his connection with the entire spell array, William said expressionlessly:
"I'm in a hurry now. I'm not in the mood to play with you."
After saying that, William's hand, which was holding his collar, instantly emitted a pale green light. The large dose of [Touch of Paralysis] instantly caused this legendary member of the Star Council to faint with his eyes rolled back.
After dealing with one person, William threw him aside and turned to look at another person in the hall.
At this moment, the man wrapped in a cloak stared at him intently and said:
"It's not a short-distance teleportation magic, and the temperature in the entire hall suddenly dropped... Did you just stop time and use [Zero Entropy]?"
Although his judgment was correct, William did not intend to answer the other party's question, but directly activated the spell again.
【Zero Entropy】This divine spell, which originally consumes huge energy, can be compressed into one second when fully empowered by the Holy Spirit Disc.
In the time-stopped area where even the dust was still in the air, William strolled in front of the man and raised his hand to form a simple spell.
In the state of [Zero Entropy], although the creative substances that are not bound by causal time can flow, they cannot transform and sink into reality to cause phenomena - in simple terms, in the state of time stop, although spells can be cast, the spells will only take effect after the time stop is lifted.
William first casually wove a storm spell with a knockback effect in front of the opponent, then went around behind the opponent. He estimated the distance the opponent would be blown away and placed several triggered fire runes along the way.
In the game, this kind of combat method of first stopping time, then using displacement skills to knock the opponent away, causing it to trigger various trap-type spells, is very challenging for the player to grasp the timing of triggering and connecting various skills. In addition, [Zero Entropy] itself consumes a lot of mana continuously, so similar combat methods are basically only practiced by hardcore players who pursue the visual effect of beating the BOSS in a fancy way.
And William happens to be such a hardcore player...and now that he is no longer restricted by the operating interface, he can control every detail of the spell as if he were controlling his own thoughts, which makes his operating accuracy at least ten times higher than before.
After simply setting up the spell, William lightly snapped his fingers, and then while silently reciting the lines "time begins to flow" in his mind, he lifted the spell of "Zero Entropy".
First there was a deafening sonic boom, and then, like fireworks being lit one by one at a fireworks festival, a series of scorching flame storms rose up. That person accurately triggered each flame rune, and when each flame rune exploded to its most intense, he did his best to take all the damage from the explosion.
Without looking back at the explosion, William turned and walked towards the throne at the end of the hall. The throne directly connected to the World Tree should be able to make him feel the remaining will of the "Holy Tree Mother".
However, the clanging sound of metal falling on the rocky floor from behind him made him stop halfway.
Looking back, the guy who William had expected to be burned into ashes was now slowly crawling up with smoke coming out of his body.
No mortal creature could consume such a complete series of fire runes and survive.
Unless the other person is not human.
"Who are you……"
After seeing the other person's appearance, William was stunned where he was.
The man's robe had long been burned to ashes, and the same was true for the skin and flesh beneath the robe, which had completely turned into powdered charcoal and dissipated in the air.
But beneath the disguise of robes, skin and flesh, the other party completely revealed his true face.
It was a human-shaped sculpture made entirely of bronze. On its waist was a palm-sized spring that was turning steadily.
Although the opponent's body was covered with traces of melting due to the burning of several flame runes, and his body had many strange and twisted deformations, William could still tell from the opponent's outline who the sculpture was based on.
"Nehe?"
William said in a low voice.
Almost at the same time as he said the name, the core of the World Tree that he had been carrying in his body, the Source of the Moon called the "Heart of Oak", completely cracked with a "click".
After the "Heart of Oak" cracked, the dark green light that burst out shone on the bronze statue, and fresh flesh and skin instantly climbed back onto the man's body.
…………
At the same time, in the conference hall of the Bone Palace in another timeline, the soul-like "Nehe", who had completely exiled William back to the original timeline due to the collision of the two sources of the moon, also floated in.
Around his body, the "unborn fetus" and the "iron oath" are constantly floating up and down, and are collapsing bit by bit.
“It seems like we’ve caught up.”
Sitting on the withered throne, Flora, whose throat had been pierced, suddenly said this in a hoarse voice.
Then, she turned her gaze to the other "Fularo" standing under the throne with a vigilant look on her face and said:
"I will need your body again, so resistance is futile, Beatrice's pawn."
After hearing this voice, the "Flora" whose body was controlled by "Silence" was immediately shocked. She seemed to sense some imminent danger, and completely disregarded her previous image of being confident of victory, and almost turned into a shadow and rushed towards the door of the hall.
However, the flesh-colored vines instantly covered the stone doors of the Bone White House conference hall, completely blocking the exit of the palace.
"And running away is equally futile. I only want your body. Don't force me to assimilate your Moon Realm essence as well."
After seeing the other person turn around with a look of disbelief in his eyes, she continued.
"So, are you Lady Camilla? Or Floral herself?"
"Silence" who controlled Flora's body looked at the "real Flora" on the throne, who was hanging by a breath and seemed to be about to die on the spot at any time, and was suddenly able to speak. He couldn't help but ask tentatively with some fear.
"I am Camilla, and I am also Floral, and I am also the Mother Goddess of the Earth."
The man replied:
"When I was in the Moon Realm, I was Camilla; when I held power in the world, I was the Earth Mother; and when my will resonated in the depths of the souls of those 40 million forest elves, I was the Redeemer Floralo."
“And at this moment, I am all of them.”
It was also at this time that a series of "clattering" sounds of gold coins colliding echoed in the hall, and countless gold coins and gems swirled into a vortex to form a human figure.
"I am a member of the Wandering Salt Merchant Charlotte, and I am currently employed by the Demon General Greed under the Moon Realm Disaster. I have come to fulfill the current protection contract. Sir Flora Cain, please accept my protection... Huh? Lady Camilla, the Hungry Lady?!"
As soon as the pot-bellied fellow took shape, he took off his tall bowler hat and prepared to bow. However, before he could bend down completely, after feeling the aura emanating from the other party, the demon general named "Greed" almost knelt down.
The person that Disaster had previously asked it to protect turned out to be the host of Lady Camilla, the Hungry and Corrupted?
So after more than a thousand years, the Moon Realm Disaster has developed such a sense of humor? It came to protect a Void King who was preparing to be reborn in the world?
