Chapter 33: Mana Ecosystem Drops in Dense Flow; Heroes Gather Tonight

As the sun sets, the rooftops of the houses on both sides of the street are bathed in an orange-red hue, and a gentle breeze carrying a faint scent of seafood blows by.

From this stretch of street, you can see the blue coastline in the distance, and under the setting sun, the waves on the sea are tinged with orange-red.

A few passersby strolled along the street, making this community on the edge of the city seem deserted, far less bustling than the city center.

Joan of Arc and Artoria walked ahead, while Gavin and Irene followed behind; all seemed peaceful.

Artoria felt the gaze and turned to look, and Gavin immediately lowered his head.

After doing it twice, Artoria asked, "What's wrong?"

Eleanor looked at Gavin. As family members who had grown up together, she could tell from Gavin's expression that he definitely wanted to ask about what had just happened.

She felt she shouldn't ask, regardless of whether it was a secret of the nuns or not. Anything related to the nuns must be related to God, and that would be disrespectful to God.

"Um...I...can I learn powerful abilities from Sister Artoria?" Gavin mustered his courage and asked nervously in a low voice.

"I want to become as strong as Artoria, and then protect everyone."

"Want to learn from me and become stronger? Of course, but you'll need Father Los Saint's permission," Artoria said, not saying anything more. Her Master had already arranged everything, and doing anything extra would only disrupt her Master's plans.

Gavin felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He had thought he would be rejected, so he immediately asked, "Father Los Saint, will he allow me to learn from Sister Artoria?"

Joan of Arc smiled: "Don't worry, Father Los Saint is a very good-tempered person, but you must be respectful when speaking to him." Although the Master does not acknowledge that he is a god, it does not mean that he is not a god.

Irene breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two nuns were not angry.

Gavin clasped his hands tightly: "I will definitely try my best to get Father Los Saint's permission, Sister Artoria."

Artoria nodded. She had already decided to teach Gavin swordsmanship after her Master gave him the power, and then bestow upon him the honor of being the thirteenth Knight of the Round Table in the name of King Arthur.

……

church
“Over here, Nisha, let’s clean this area.”

“Okay, Riley, let’s finish cleaning together. We’ll have dinner when Gavin and Eleanor come back. I’m hungry.”

Two little girls, a few years old, were sweeping and dusting dust from the corner of the church with their cheeks puffed out. Their big, bright eyes were very cute.

Also, two children were wiping the angel statues and the upright crosses outside the church, and five children were wiping the stained glass windows of the church.

This is something they have to do every day after school: clean the church so that the pure angels will always be watching over it.

"Father, Father, when will Grandma Zoe wake up? Is she sick?" A nine-year-old girl named Melissa ran up to Los Santos, tilted her head, and blinked her big eyes as she asked.

"No, Sister Zoe is just too tired. Your older brother and sister will cook dinner tonight." Luo Sheng affectionately patted the girl's head.

“Then we must make sure Grandma Zoe gets a good rest. Everyone will take care of themselves, and Melissa will take care of everyone too. Melissa is the third oldest ‘adult’ in the church.” Melissa raised her hand and clenched it into a small fist.

“Then, I’ll be in Melissa’s care as well as Father,” Los Saint said with a smile.

“That’s for sure,” Melissa said without hesitation. Then she looked at her two younger brothers who were playing around, put her hands on her hips and looked like a little adult: “Hey! Calle, Damian, don’t cause trouble for Father and Grandmother Zoe.”

“Okay, Sister Melissa.” The two little boys immediately quieted down. “Hehe.” Los Saint smiled at the group of somewhat 'precocious' children.

Even after she knew she was dying, Sister Zoe told the children every day that a priest would soon come to the church. Although the children were initially a little timid when they saw him, they quickly became familiar with him.

Of course, this was because he used 'subconscious interference' to enhance the children's sense of closeness to him.

Los Saint watched the children diligently cleaning the church, a golden notebook appearing in his hand, his eyes lowered.

"We pretty much know what will fall down."

"Hopefully it appears directly on the surface, and definitely not underground, otherwise we won't be able to eradicate it completely with our current strength."

[Indications of Global Change]

Location: Wales, British Isles
Time of occurrence: Within 72 hours

Cause of occurrence: Large numbers of Devourer Beasts will drop in Wales and southern Scotland, with the following numbers from highest to lowest: 'Eye Tumor' 147 locations, 'Spine Worm' 74 locations, 'Spiky Eel' 21 locations, 'Snake Dog' 11 locations, 'Bearing Beast' 9 locations, 'Mana Flower' 6 locations, 'Earth Roar' 4 locations, and 'Giant Toothed Beast' 2 locations.

Global damage level: High (It is recommended that administrators remove them one by one; otherwise, the Welsh ecosystem will be severely damaged.)
"Such a dense cluster of falls in the same area within a very short period of time—is this what constitutes an extremely high level of danger? It certainly is dangerous enough," Los Saint said calmly.

This situation has never happened before. An extremely high level of danger must be accompanied by other levels of harm, right?

"Fortunately, it's only in the Ling Cage world, not in the other two worlds."

When Los Santos saw so many Mana organisms falling out, he understood what the extremely dangerous thing was.

It shouldn't be the 'Mana Giant'. Even if the Mana Giant fell, it wouldn't have the ability to actively cause a major disaster that would destroy the ecosystem of a large area.

That's the 'Mantle Vine'.

Hidden beneath the Earth's crust in the mantle, it drills from the crust to the surface, stretching several kilometers into the sky, like tentacles reaching for the very top of the clouds.

Mantle vines are extremely large, being both animals and plants, possessing characteristics of both. Their smallest diameter can exceed three hundred meters, and their height can reach several kilometers.

Once it bursts out of the ground, it releases spores, and any human who comes into contact with the spores will quickly mutate and die.

The epidermis of the mantle vine cracks open and grows eye tumors, which are the larvae of the 'Mana Flower'. If they are destroyed before they can grow into Manana Flowers, they will release spores. These spores will fall to the ground and form large areas of eye tumors.

This thing, whether organic or inorganic, will decompose into nutrients for its growth.

Once transformed into a 'Mana Flower', it will begin to create 'Devouring Beasts'. These beasts prey on the life essence of all animals and feed it back to the Mana Flower.

The Mana Flower that obtains 'Life Essence' will create even more powerful Devouring Beasts, in a continuous cycle of iteration, until it absorbs the Life Essence of the entire planet.

Then the entire planet's mana ecosystem falls into a deep sleep and disappears from the surface, only to awaken again when the planet's ecosystem flourishes once more.

"The official operation will begin tonight. We must gather all six of them tonight and then start having them grow by facing the Devouring Beasts in a short period of time." Luo Sheng looked at the Devouring Beasts that were about to fall densely in the golden notebook.

You are all the nourishment that fuels the heroes' rapid growth.

　A book by a master author, with pure anime/manga flavor, super good!
