Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 203 Blink Arrival
"you……"

Seeing the white corpse frantically moving towards the Mother Tree, Han Su had no time to stop it.

He had only just gained the upper hand in the copper field, and in terms of level, he had only just reached the second stage of "understanding". There was still a considerable gap between him and the real high position. However, he did not expect that the white corpse would collapse first.

It was as if he had become a madman.

Or rather, he's been insane for a long time.

As his body retreated to the side of the Mother Divine Tree, countless blue arcs of electricity began to emerge from his body and extend into the trunk of the Mother Divine Tree. Han Su then witnessed the entire Mother Divine Tree growing wildly.

The tree trunk visibly thickened, and the canopy grew so tall that even from Han Su's angle, it was difficult to see clearly. The leaves on the tree also grew larger and larger, one by one.

One could only sense that the entire sky seemed to have turned dark red, as this Mother Tree covered half of the sky.

Standing under the tree, you can't see how vast it is; you can only feel the immense pollution descending from the sky.

The air was filled with a dense cacophony of sounds, as if ten thousand or a hundred thousand people were speaking at the same time, all simultaneously drilling into my ears.

Han Su's heart sank as he faced the pollution that seemed to fall from the sky.

"Doesn't this guy leave himself a way out?"

"..."

"..."

"not good……"

Meanwhile, while Han Su entered the contaminated area to carry out special cleanup, Zhang Chiguo and others waited anxiously outside.

They knew that this special cleanup would not end anytime soon, but they still looked longingly at the Mother Tree in front of them, waiting for the moment it would disappear.

Unexpectedly, instead of the Mother Tree disappearing, a huge and intense blue arc of electricity caused the Mother Tree to begin growing wildly.

The enormous tree canopy began to hold up the clouds in the darkness of night.

Between the enormous, face-shaped leaves, flower buds rapidly unfurled, and spores began to disperse.

"The Mother Tree... has started releasing spores?"

Everyone in the room felt their hearts tighten and suddenly stood up.

Zhang Chiguo turned to look in Miss Ai's direction and asked, "What happened?"

"The White Corpse Investigator is attempting to construct a reality anchor point within himself, accelerating the arrival of the Mother Tree into reality."

Miss Ai's mechanical voice answered monotonously and quickly: "Although the hidden power within him is not the same species as the Mother Tree, as a high-level sacrifice, it will also exacerbate the pollution of the Mother Tree, reaching the level of polluting Qinggang."

Zhang Chiguo clenched his fists: "So what about Qinggang now..."

Ms. Ai replied, "The pollution has already begun, and the current number of people affected is 35!"

The PhD student, who had been observing as a beginner, heard the number and slightly twisted his head.
"Only 35 people?"

Before the thought could even form, Miss Ai continued pronouncing: "101-256-749-".

"Warning: The number of people affected by the contamination has exceeded one thousand!"

"..."

"Did the threat level escalate this quickly?"

Zhang Chiguo's mind tightened, and he turned to look in the direction of Qinggang.

Today, Qinggang is still brightly lit and orderly.

No one noticed the dark red patch in the western night sky, nor could they make out what it was.

However, that dark red patch suddenly became larger and clearer, vaguely resembling the shape of a tree.

The first person to discover it was a girl who was reading on her balcony. She noticed the red shadow on the horizon and realized that it looked just like a tree. Intrigued, she wanted to take a picture of it with her phone.

But the phone couldn't capture the shape of the tree, or even the red color.

She frowned as she looked at it, but the more she looked, the clearer the shadow seemed to become.

It's not just that it looks like a tree; it is definitely a tree.

This discovery astonished her, and she stared intently at the shadow.

Then, her pupils began to turn slightly red, and she began to lose her mind, forgetting what she was doing.

She simply rose slowly and knelt down before the tree.

This was the first, but countless infected people like her appeared rapidly.

"Look, there seems to be something over there..."

"That's... a tree?"

"..."

Those who didn't see the tree ran over frantically to look, and those who did see it immediately knelt down.

As a result, large crowds began to gather and stop moving, vehicles went out of control and crashed wildly, and people in the city knelt down in droves, their eyes turning bloodshot. The entire Qinggang area was now contaminated with pollution, affecting entire buildings, streets, and entire regions.

The council chamber in Qinggang was already full of people.

Unlike when Zhang Chiguo had just come to report, now, along the long black table, figures stood calmly observing each other on both sides.

"The third line of defense has begun to be infiltrated. Gentlemen, should we deploy high-lethality weapons?"

"..."

Faced with this question, a low murmur arose in the room, and then someone spoke up:
"It's too early to use high-lethality weapons!"

"The bottom line for the third line of defense to be breached is 300 million people, which is about one-third of the total population of Qinggang City."

"If they exceed this warning threshold, they must all be eliminated!"

"..." "Are we really going to push this to the limit?"

Someone frowned: "At this scale, the cleanup will be very difficult. I need to know why."

The person who made the earlier suggestion smiled and said, "Since those currently in the contaminated area are all valuable targets, given their value, we can use the third line of defense to hold them off for a while, observe them further, and then decide whether to use our final weapon!"

……

……

"Crash..."

Standing beneath the Mother Tree, Han Su suddenly felt as if he were at the seaside.

Waves of spiritual power surged forth, like a person facing the tides crashing against the shore.

An overwhelming pressure was looming over them.

He raised his left hand to shield his head, but the surging pollution still pushed him back two steps, causing him to lose his balance.

Crowded, agonizing, and corrupted by the Mother Tree, even the will of copper could not withstand it; the two were not of the same order.

Faced with this extremely powerful pollution, he could only rely on his mental vitality to fight it.

"Has it really come to this?"

He struggled to lift his head, watching the white corpse merge into the body of the Mother Tree, his face filled with madness, anger, and resentment.

This guy really doesn't want to live anymore; he just wants to drag the entire Qinggang down with him.

But can he do it?
As he pondered this question, he sensed delicate crystal colors appearing around him, helping to isolate him from pollution.

A small barrier enveloped him.

It was a crystal-like color, originating from a small crystal skull. He had carried this crystal pendant with him after experiencing the D7 attack.

It works quite well, but normally it needs to be activated with mental power, but now, for some reason, it has spontaneously generated a barrier. A faint sound, accompanied by the subtle crystalline color, reached my ears:

“Mr. Butcher, the corruption of the Mother Tree has begun to infiltrate Qinggang’s third line of defense.”

"To avoid the arrival of highly lethal weapons, please detach them from the Mother Tree, or withdraw them from the battlefield as soon as possible."

“Repeat: Our strategic objectives have been achieved. We can withdraw from the battlefield and await the Qinggang Council’s cleanup of this area.”

"..."

"Isn't it a coincidence that even this tiny crystal pendant ended up in my hands?"

Han Su couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the white corpse, half of which had already merged into the Mother Divine Tree. He thought that it wouldn't be easy to separate this crazy guy, who was even seeking death, from the tree with his own strength.

As he thought about it, he picked up his briefcase.

The White Corpse is a mad avenger; he hates his own father, the castle, and himself.

He went to great lengths to set up this scheme, wanting to seize the will of bronze within him and take revenge as well.

But he didn't know that everything he had was part of someone else's calculations.

Now that he has done something so crazy, even Miss Ai is reminding herself that it's time to give up.

He thought for a moment, then slowly looked up at the white corpse and said, "Didn't you want to know why I hit you in the castle?"

The white corpse suddenly opened its eyes and stared coldly at Han Su.

Han Su tried to relax, smiled at him, and said, "Actually, the maid who died in your house was not my relative or anything. Before that, I didn't know you either. I hit you simply because I didn't like you."

"you……"

At this point, the white corpse was willing to sacrifice itself to the Mother Tree in order to make Qinggang bleed.

Nothing could interrupt him.

Besides what Han Su said.

He had already closed his eyes in front of the Mother Tree, but suddenly opened them, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Han Su. His mad thoughts were out of control, and he finally let out a howl and pounced out of the Mother Tree.

Countless blue arcs of electricity connected to the Mother Tree emanated from his body, giving him an eerie and violent aura.

He leaped into the air and threw a punch at Han Su.

His greatest strength lies in the power of copper.

Even though he didn't obtain the highest level of the Will of Bronze, the power he wielded in the Bronze Domain was enough to suppress countless people.

But his copper power was stripped away, and at this moment he was simply throwing a punch out of instinct.

Yet, this same fist appeared exceptionally terrifying at this moment. Its powerful spiritual activity, coupled with the contamination of the Mother Divine Tree, was like a dark cloud, instantly shattering the crystal barrier surrounding Han Su.

The crystal pendant has developed numerous cracks.

But at that very moment, Han Su suddenly took a step back and opened the briefcase right in front of him.

Exquisite, bizarre, and aesthetically pleasing mechanical fragments appeared before the white corpse's eyes. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression was a mixture of crying and laughing.

"The Crystal Skull, the Crystal Skull actually gave you this mechanical fragment..."

"Then what does my life mean?"

"..."

Looking at his crazed and distorted face, Han Su didn't say much, but simply gently activated the mechanical fragment.

Seeing the bewildered and shocked expression on the white corpse's face, he sighed softly and said, "You stay here and wait for a while, I'll be right back."

Click click click...

Han Su heard the sound of machinery running. This time, he took the initiative to request Blink to descend!
