National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

"Does any of you have the ability to fly into the sky? If we don't stop this century-old magical barrier, the entire city's men will be devoured in about three hours."

Chapter 175 Wood Release: Descent of the Tree World

"In about three hours, all the men in the city will be devoured."

Yukikaze said this while clutching his chest.

"Devouring completely?"

"That's right. A man's soul will be absorbed by the demon god's magical barrier and given a chaotic origin to his body, turning him into a terrifying demon."

"That's it."

Wu Yue nodded.

Xuefeng looked at Ge Lixiang, somewhat puzzled. Then he looked at Wu Yue, and then at the blue magic circle in Wu Yue's hand.

She had watched the live broadcast of the war and knew of Wu Yue's powerful performance in it.

"You...you were actually a powerful mage capable of fighting against demons?"

"Well, I guess so, and I am also the goddess of water."

"I see."

Xuefeng nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

at this time.

—Click—Click—Click—

The area in front of the four people began to crack, accompanied by a tearing sound.

A huge, thick branch then grew out of it.

Wu Yue grabbed Ge Lixiang, and the four of them immediately jumped back to create distance.

The branches broke through the rooftop and grew larger and larger, even taking up one-third of the hotel.

The rumbling sound was like an earthquake.

This was the first time Ge Lixiang had ever seen something like this in person; it was completely different from live streaming. The visual impact was incredible…

His face was deathly pale the entire time, and he kept his mouth tightly shut and didn't move an inch.

As the trees continued to grow, Shio Murasaki, Vermouth, and Illya all jumped down from the branches.

Xiao Nan flew up very high.

Not only them, but also many other women I didn't know, at least thirty or so, who were probably strangers I rescued along the way.

It's worth mentioning that there were all sorts of clothes being worn, including a cosplayer dressed as Jean from the game Genshin Impact, and the cosplay was so accurate that Wu Yue was momentarily stunned.

Everyone immediately gathered together.

"what happened?"

Wu Yue asked.

Shiogure Ai saw Artoria, breathed a sigh of relief, and said...

"Phew~ There are just too many demons. It's a hotel, and it seems like all the demons in the vicinity are swarming here. The stairs and corridors are completely packed with demons. It's too troublesome, so I chose this clumsy method. What about you? What's the situation on your end?"

Wu Yue then told Chao Mu Ai about it.

"So, we're going to fly up into the sky now to deal with this so-called Dark Barrier, right?"

"Yes."

Yukikaze nodded.

"I see. Then I'll do it."

Shiobe Ai swung her hands together, intending to create a tree platform to lift everyone into the air.

"Wood Release: Descent of the Tree World".

Suddenly, Arya, who was standing to the side, smiled and spoke softly.

In the current situation, for some reason, Aria's words inexplicably tickled Wu Yue's funny bone.

It's really hard to understand Wu Yue's feelings right now if you haven't watched Naruto.

Wu Yue immediately lowered her head and covered her mouth, trying her best not to laugh.

"puff!"

But just then, someone suddenly burst out laughing.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the sound. Wu Yue then realized that it was the girl cosplaying as the leader of the Qin troupe who was laughing.

"Huh?! No! No! I didn't mean to make fun of you! No, no! It wasn't making fun of you! It's just... just... just... I'm... I'm... sorry..."

The girl blushed and lowered her head...

"it does not matter."

Shiomu Ai spoke, glancing at Aria at the same time.

In this awkward situation, Wu Yue could no longer laugh. He felt he should have a serious talk with Ailiya later.

The next second! The hotel platform began to shake.

—Click!—

The tree branches that had originally broken through one-third of the platform began to split, pulling everyone present up.

The sound of trees tearing apart continued, and everyone slowly rose into the air.

To accommodate the feelings of ordinary people, the wooden platform does not rise very quickly.

The platform is very large, nearly two hundred meters long.

But ordinary people still try to move closer to the central area.

Wu Yue and the others walked to the edge of the platform and looked into the city.

Wu Yue frowned as he looked at it.

At this moment, only four words truly filled my mind: densely packed.

Wu Yue can see very far in the dark because of his divine eye.

The hotel was practically surrounded by countless demons, and as far as the eye could see, it was all green... covering the mountains and plains... countless 790s...

Even from a distance, demons were constantly rushing towards this place.

With a thought, Wu Yue transformed from Scáthach back into the form of Alto.

She's 154cm tall and wears a blue and white outfit. Standing next to Artoria, she really looks like a sister.

From behind, the two are the same height, have the same hairstyle, and wear the same clothes.

Ge Lixiang, who was standing nearby, sighed when he saw this.

Wu Yue asked him what was wrong, but Ge Lixiang just shook his head and kept sighing without saying a word. Wu Yue realized what was wrong and became somewhat annoyed.

It's too cold at high altitudes.

When it reached nearly 200 meters, the wooden platform split again, leaving all the ordinary people on it.

Aria and the others stayed behind, while only Wu Yue, Chao Mu Ai, Artoria, Mizuki Yukikaze, and Ge Lixiang continued to ascend.

It finally stopped at a distance of nearly 1000 meters.

Everyone looked up at the top of the barrier, at the enormous, constantly rotating, terrifying fleshy ball emitting a faint purple light.

Something resembling blood vessels was attached to the fleshy mass. It was still writhing incessantly, utterly disgusting.

Chapter 176 A simple divine dispelling of the curse is equivalent to the power gained from sacrificing one's life.

Everyone looked up at the ball of flesh in the air, their faces filled with disgust.

The fleshy mass writhed as if it had a heart, emitting a faint glow, though dim, enough for everyone to see clearly.

"Wow... I've really seen a lot in the last few hours. I'm definitely going to write a novel about it when I get back."

Ge Lixiang said.

"Next, leave it to me."

Shuicheng Xuefeng walked up to the crowd and spoke, his tone carrying a sense of desolation and loss.

"I will give my life to save all the men of this city, I swear in the name of the Bucheng family."

"Eh?"

Wu Yue was stunned for a moment.

But just then!

Wu Yue and Artoria's ahoge (cowlicks) twitched, and they both turned to look behind them.

I saw five people.

I had just seen the one in the middle not long ago.

"Hey, hey, hey, representative of the Celestial Empire, your partner really chopped my head off with force! That really hurt! Huh?!"
