Chapter 227

Chapter 227

The Divine Tree was a gigantic tree that acted as a pillar of the world for a very long time, and foresight was its innate power. So, the flow of fate and the destiny that she talked about was most likely true.

In fact, destiny would remain unchanged no matter how twisted the strings of fate had become. The flow of fate would continue to flow in the same direction as it did before. Even in cases where variables appeared, the flow of fate would move the world and force it to return to its own destiny, its own flow, somehow.

However, although it would work for others, Davey was very confident that something like that would not work on him. His body completely rejected the flow, since his curse allowed him to be unconfined by the various directions and destinies that the will of God had created in this world.

Tap, tap, tap!!!

The buds slowly blossomed into flowers, and the scattered white powder from the depth of each bloom came together to form a huge curtain of light. This white light then, in turn, transformed into a spectacular aurora that decorated the space above them.

Some would be shocked to see how Yggdrasil had blatantly disregarded the natural weather to create her own. But for Davey, this was not very surprising. In the first place, he already knew that the World Tree was out of the ordinary.

Domain Declaration was a power that belonged to higher-ranking transcendentals. It was a power similar to that of Davey’s system and was obviously something that went beyond even the dreams of the greatest existence ever created, the dragons.

What did the Domain Declaration mean? It meant that this entire area had completely turned into Yggdrasil’s domain. Simply put, there wasn’t an area in this entire domain that her power could not reach. Of course, the cost of creating something like this was very high.

To Davey, Yggdrasil looked like a doctor who did not care what kind of method and what kind of consequences she would face as long as she got rid of the pest in front of her. That was how determined she was.

Crack... Crack, crack, crack!!!

Yggdrasil’s body, which was formed by the World Tree itself, slowly began to change. Starting from the hem, her robes slowly turned into ashes and scattered in the wind. Then, tree bark started to wrap around her like armor. At the same time, a root shot up from the ground and soon took on the form of a sword that was several meters long.

[I will slaughter you here. This is your fate and destiny. And it is the unchanging truth.]

“Rinne. Get ready.”

At Davey’s command, Rinne immediately manifested lightsabers in both of her hands. She was ready to attack at a moment’s notice.

By the end of her spiel, Yggdrasil had already completely transformed. She looked like a human wearing some sort of tree bark armor.

Davey could no longer see any of the lingering effects of the curse that he had left on Yggdrasil. He could not determine if the curse had vanished or not, but he still said, “It seems like the curse lasted longer than I’ve estimated.”

Davey did not expect the situation would turn out this bad.

Bang!!!

The thought just crossed Davey’s mind when something fleshed in the air. The power was a pale green, and it was extremely menacing and sharp. It made the hairs on Davey’s neck stand up.

[8th Level Holy Magic

]

Vwooooooooong!!!

[On my command, deprive him of the power derived from the power of God in this place.]

Clang!!!

Yggdrasil made that declaration once the doping magic was cast. And as if to answer her call, the holy magic that surrounded Davey lost its momentum and settled down. The holy magic that thrummed in his body completely turned silent.

Davey discovered that the World Tree’s ability to freeze someone else’s power went far beyond his expectations after experiencing it for himself. He could tell that the power was very dominating and oppressive.

“I’m quite speechless.”

Thump!!!

Davey had heard about World Tree Yggdrasil’s power one too many times. But after experiencing it personally, he found it a bit too egoistic and self-centered.

As Davey rolled back and slammed into one of the trees, Yggdrasil, with her new body, readied her feet and dashed towards Davey with a sword that was twice her size. She aimed straight for Davey’s neck, giving it everything that she had. It was as if she had nothing to lose.

The sword was obviously blunt, but Davey was horrified at the thought of truly meeting his end once that sword pierced through him.

Thump!!!

Red Ribbon, covered in dark mana, slashed a part of Yggdrasil’s thick and sturdy-looking sword when instinctively swinging to block the attack. Her sharpness could truly cut through the dead, and it was extraordinary that she could harm the World Tree.

“Gnoass!”

If Yggdrasil could predict the outcome of this match and declare the winner before she could activate another power, then Davey could do the same. After deflecting the wooden sword, Davey twisted out of Yggdrasil’s reach and kicked her abdomen. Then, he used all of his spirit power to call out for the Earth Spirit King.

“Stop that crazy tree’s power!”

Thud, thud, thud, thud!!!

[Contractor, you truly have no fear!]

Davey, a mere human being, was going up against the powerful World Tree. Yet, he still dared to fight a one-on-one battle against Tionis Continent’s World Tree, who was known as the pillar that supported the world.

Gnoass, after complaining about how reckless Davey was, immediately scattered the spirit power that was in Davey and used it to cover the ground beneath them.

Creak, creak, creak!

Gnoass grabbed Yggdrasil’s arms by raising the ground beneath her and trapping her within the earth.

Just like Davey had expected, the World Tree still could not sit back and ignore the Earth Spirit King’s force despite having revealed her entire power for this fight.

Yggdrasil silently looked at her trapped arms and tried to free them. However, Gnoass was persistent. He kept on snatching Yggdrasil’s arms back and trapping them with the earth.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!!!

In an instant, the big and beautiful spear overturned tens of meters of soil from the ground beneath Davey.

Crack!!!

The attack completely devastated the ground, creating shockwaves that shook the area.

“Hoo... I hid it arbitrarily, so I did not know if it would really work.”

Shwaa!!! Baaang!!!

At that moment, Davey realized that his earlier attack was truly a strong attack. In fact, some of the tree bark around Yggdrasil had broken down into an unsightly form. However, Davey was also fully aware that the attack alone was not enough to be called a proper blow.

The worst part? Every time Davey expressed a power, Yggdrasil would answer in turn and seal that power.

[I command you, in my name, to seal the foundation of the flow in this place.]

Eventually, Davey’s elemental mana was also sealed. With his holy magic, dark mana, and elemental mana sealed, it was safe to say that whatever powers that could be derived from these manas and all avenues of attack that he could think of had been sealed.

Daveystumbled from the sudden sense of weakness that washed over him. In all honesty, he no longer had enough strength to make another move.

Grab!

Yggdrasil’s eyes flashed with an ominous green light. She dug the ground with her feet, then propelled herself forward and grabbed Davey by the neck to press him down on the floor.

Seeing Davey struggle, Rinne immediately ran forward and swung a crowbar at Yggdrasil.

[Get away from me, you dirty thing!]

Bang!!!

Although it used up some of her power, Yggdrasil still swung her arm simply to defeat Rinne. It did not use up too much power, since she had taken away all of Rinne’s mana.

[How is it? How does it feel to realize that all of the power that you’ve been proud of has been deemed useless?]

“Like a beggar,” Davey commented curtly.

Yggdrasil smiled coldly.

[That’s what fate is like. In all of the flow of fate that I have seen, there is no future where you will win against me. Did you think that you would beat me if you used another method? That’s just wishful thinking.]

Yggdrasil calmly stretched out her hand. A pale green light flashed before settling down on her wrist.

[You are an outstanding being. However, you can never compare to me. It would have been great if you were born an elf and not as a disgusting human being.]

“Have you ever thought about the reason why the Demon Lord was afraid to touch humans despite having tremendous power?”

[You have no idea how much and what kind of power the Abyss’ Demon Lord wields.]

After listening to Yggdrasil, Davey turned his head to look at Perserque. He could see how restless Perserque was; she was repeatedly looking back and forth between Davey and Yggdrasil.

[No being can escape the eyes of the Demon Lord. No being can raise their heads in front of the might of the Demon Lord.]

“I will end up laughing and rolling on the floor. Just like I said before, you will not be able to resurrect the Demon Lord.”

[The future is not something so light that it can be swayed and influenced by the wishes of insignificant dust like you.]

Flash—

When the light that wrapped around Yggdrasil’s wrists grew more intense, Davey stared at the light for a moment. Then, he slowly looked up at the sky before looking back down again. It was obvious to him that his current self would die the moment that green light touched his heart.

Although Davey had an extra burning ember as insurance, it was not something that he should use in such a situation.

[In the end, I used up almost all of my powers. However, I have no regrets.]

“Yeah. You’ve worked hard.”

[...]

Yggdrasil frowned as she tried to decipher what Davey’s intentions were for uttering those words.

However, Davey just ignored Yggdrasil and stretched out his hand.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!

Alongside a chilly wind, a huge flame burst out of Davey’s hands. He had already predicted that things would unfold in such a manner. That was why he had prepared Fire Chicken.

“Hoo... Rinne, let’s start.”

Rinne, who had been silent as if she had died from the attack earlier on, suddenly moved her head at Davey’s words. Her eyes shone with a dazzling blue light. With a strange voice, she commanded, “Operation Final Logging Project. Avengers Captain Anabelle, commence operation.”

The World Tree’s power was deeply embedded in the land. If that was the case, then Davey had no other choice but to uproot her. Only then could they battle fairly.

Simply put, Davey was going to remove whatever that was supplying the World Tree with power and supporting her will. He also had to get rid of whatever gave the World Tree’s chosen Saint or Saintess influence and power.

Davey’s team hadn’t yet found the root that had turned into the World Tree’s source stone or root. In fact, even though the golems were strong and powerful, they would not be able to find it. They would only be able to find it if they had the same power as Davey.

As for the Saint who was hiding among the elves without any worries and fear in the world? That was a different matter.
