Damn it, something's wrong with the gacha I got.

"Everyone, watch out, it looks like something is about to come out."

At this moment, the voice of the Undying Path rang out.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang!

Cracks appeared in the ground and then rapidly spread outwards...

Chapter 492 The Thousand-Faced Strange Tree, Returning to Silence

The ground suddenly trembled violently, and a gigantic, terrifying crack exploded open, with dark fissures spreading wildly like a spider web.

Countless thick, twisted vines covered with strange purple patterns burst wildly through the cracks in the ground, their texture constantly expanding and bulging.

The sudden change made everyone's hearts tighten instantly.

Chen Bai's pupils contracted sharply, a surge of immense doubt and shock welling up within him. He immediately spoke:

"What's going on? Where did these vines come from? Manyuan has clearly been defeated!"

Just as the final battle was ending, Undying Path had already used the power of the Gluttonous Land's [Shadow] to devour and dissolve the Evil Lotus Lord who had undergone the transformation of Wish Fulfillment, along with all the mutated vines.

Logically, once the source of the problem is completely eradicated, there should be no possibility of recurrence.

But the strange vines that sprouted from the ground completely overturned everyone's judgment.

"Keep quiet, don't let your guard down."

Undying Path's voice suddenly fell silent, his tone unusually solemn, his gaze fixed on the constantly cracking ground.

Something is about to come out...

Before the words were even finished, the speed at which the earth cracked suddenly increased dramatically!

Boom!

A deafening roar suddenly exploded, reverberating throughout the entire Erxiang Paradise!

The towering and majestic Wish TV building collapsed and cracked from its foundation in an instant.

The solid reinforced concrete, steel curtain wall, and load-bearing beams and columns were all shattered.

Countless rubble and brick fragments flew everywhere, billowing dust that rose into the sky and obscured the entire horizon.

The fishy smell was completely obscured by the hazy dust.

The platform beneath their feet collapsed completely, and Chen Bai, Ji Zi, San Yueqi, Xing and their group instantly lost weight and involuntarily fell towards the ruins below, falling into a dangerous free fall.

Just as the scene was unfolding, a gentle breeze suddenly swept across the entire area.

An invisible wind field steadily supported everyone's bodies, gently dissipating the force of the fall and steadily sending the fishy-smelling fish to the ground.

Just as Chen Baigang regained his footing, a clear and familiar voice called out to him.

"Ah Bai—"

Following the sound, Ying, carrying Paimon, hurried through the swirling dust, rushing to the Fishy Pine Cliff.

Chen Bai was slightly surprised upon seeing this, and quickly asked:

"How did you get here? Didn't I tell you to take the 'blood and go to this place' and not to go near the main battlefield?"

The aftershocks of the main battlefield raged, and the forces of destiny clashed and intertwined.

Ying and Paimon are not familiar with the rules of the battle of destiny in the universe. If they approach each other rashly, they are likely to fall into danger and suffer losses.

"Don't worry." Ying nodded gently, her expression calm and composed, and explained in a gentle voice, "With Zhong Li and Miss Xiuye ​​here, everyone else has safely evacuated the private shelter along with the members of the Abnormal Defense Department."

Paimon followed closely behind, nodding repeatedly in agreement, his little face full of worry:

"Yes, yes! We were worried about your safety. We knew you were having a showdown on TV, so we rushed over as soon as we finished the evacuation! But when we got here, the whole building collapsed!"

"Thank you for your timely support."

Chen Bai nodded slightly in thanks.

It's not hard to guess that the force that steadily supported the fish-like figure just now was Ying's wind elemental power.

If it weren't for this timely rescue, Xing Lei would have been injured by the aftershocks of the falling rocks.

"A few children~"

The voice of the Undying Path rang out again, its tone extremely solemn, instantly pulling everyone back to their senses.

"Now is not the time to be careless; the real villain has already appeared."

Chen Bai, Ying, Paimeng, and the others instantly regained their composure and followed the gaze of the Undying Path towards the center of the billowing dust.

The next second, everyone froze in place.

The sandstorm slowly subsided, and the completely collapsed ruins of the television station vanished without a trace.

Instead, a towering tree that blocks out the sky has replaced it!

The entire giant tree was dark purple, with twisted and gnarled branches, devoid of any vitality or greenery.

Instead, countless human faces covered the trunk and branches, densely packed together.

The visual impact is overwhelming, exuding extreme eeriness and horror, making people inexplicably lose their senses.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

On March 7th, his pupils trembled, and he subconsciously took half a step back, his face filled with fear and discomfort.

"How disgusting! That's terrifying!"

"Is this their last resort to fulfill their wish?"

Xing gripped the baseball bat tightly, his brow furrowed, looking wary.

"The art style is so distorted and bizarre."

Chen Bai stared at the thousand-faced strange tree in front of him, a chill ran down his spine, and a sense of physical discomfort swept over his entire body.

The origin of this strange tree's destiny is very similar to that of the Wishful Lotus Lord, who also originates from sudden changes and abundant evil power.

However, its levels of complexity and strangeness far surpass the previous idealized villainous forms.

At the same time, the thousands of faces on the strange tree all opened their eyes and simultaneously raised their lips in a paranoid and insane smile.

Immediately afterwards, eerie shouts rose and fell, echoing across the entire ruins.

"Happiness! May you ascend to paradise with us!"

"Abandon your ego, merge into one, and share eternal happiness!"

"Not enough... I want more happiness! More joy!"

"Hahaha--!"

"..."

The overlapping, grotesque laughter created a piercing sonic impact, like a high-frequency ultrasonic weapon, violently striking the mind's sea of ​​consciousness.

It not only causes strong physical dizziness and nausea, but also a subtle, corrosive force that quietly spreads.

This voice attempts to disrupt people's will and make them blindly follow.

This bizarre appearance is almost identical to the evil Lotus Lord after her wish was granted, but even more bizarre and disgusting.

With the complete emergence of the giant tree, countless people, filled with extreme fear, despair, and confusion, filled the skies above the entire Two-Phase Paradise...

As if drawn by an invisible magnetic field, they frantically converged from all directions, only to be devoured and absorbed by the human face atop the strange tree.

With each wisp of willpower it absorbs, the giant tree's branches grow thicker and its patterns brighter, its growth rate becoming visible to the naked eye.

"not good!"

Himeko's expression changed drastically, her tone became urgent and serious, and she instantly realized the deadly crisis.

"It is absorbing the negative emotions of millions of people across the entire region, and is growing wildly by taking advantage of them! If it is allowed to continue to devour, it will soon completely transform and become uncontrollable!"

"We can't wait any longer, we must stop them immediately!"

Walter Yang's eyes flashed, and he took the first step forward. The gravity around him instantly surged and flowed, and he raised his hand to unleash the full pressure of Eden's Star!

A thick, imposing black gravitational field suddenly dissipated, and the intense gravity slammed down on the trunk of the Thousand-Faced Strange Tree.

The expected repression did not materialize.

Under the supreme gravitational pressure of the Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader, the eerie purple vines were not crushed or suppressed; instead, they grew even more luxuriantly.

The bizarre power of "Abundance" surged against the odds, forcefully withstanding the gravity constraint of the Star of Eden, and even continuously dissipating and eroding the suppressive force.

"It didn't work?"

Walter's pupils contracted slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had long anticipated that this ancient tree was extraordinary, but he hadn't expected its resistance and vitality to transcend the realm of ordinary bountiful creatures.

"Uncle Yang, be careful!"

The star's warning suddenly rang out!

Walter snapped back to his senses and saw several thick, condensed, blood-red vines appear.

They broke through the gravity barrier, shooting straight towards his body with a sharp whooshing sound, as fast as lightning.

"Humph!"

Walter's face darkened, and he no longer held back, letting out a low shout.

"Eden's Star, the...Liberation!"

The full power of the Star of Eden erupted, and a pitch-black hole instantly formed, floating in the void.

A violent devouring power surged forth, engulfing all the incoming crimson vines and shredding them into nothingness, utterly devouring them.

The Star of Eden in his hand is no longer a replica, but the complete version that Ah Bai gave him before.

Even if some devastating [Void] Lord of Annihilation came, he, the leader of Walter Anti-Entropy, could still have a run at his feet!

The black hole continued its rampage, tearing a huge hole in the trunk of the Thousand-Faced Tree, damaging the trunk's texture and breaking its patterns.

But the next second, a chilling scene unfolded again!

The giant hole in the tree trunk sprouted granulation tissue at a visible speed and was repaired in just a few breaths.

Walter raised his hand repeatedly, and several black holes bombarded the tree trunk one after another, tearing it apart.

No matter how thoroughly it is damaged, the strange tree can regenerate and recover instantly.

Even amidst constant destruction and regeneration, the vines multiply faster and their aura grows stronger.

"Damn, this regenerative ability is outrageous!"

Chen Bai's brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"Even Uncle Yang's complete black hole couldn't be effectively contained. This vitality is terrifying! Could it be that it's about to come back to life?"

"It wasn't a sudden moment, but it was close enough."

Undying Path, holding a cane, raised his hand and smashed several dark purple vines that had attacked him. His gaze accurately saw through their nature, and he began to analyze them in a deep voice.

"The Shadow tells me that, besides the Abundance, there is a rich aura of star core hidden within the tree!"

"A star core?!"

The four trees suddenly changed drastically, and a wave of shock and horror surged in my heart.

All doubts suddenly became clear.

No wonder the wish fulfillment, though seemingly destroyed, suddenly unleashed a powerful counterattack; no wonder this strange tree's power, regeneration, and resistance are all beyond reason.

This is not a mutation product created by wishful thinking simply through fleeting cells, but rather her long-hidden trump card.

So, did the wish made to the star core create this mutated, strange tree?

The power of the Star Core can be called the "cancer of harmony" in the universe, and its individual power may not be as strong as that of the orthodox messengers.

But if given enough time, space, and energy to nourish it~

With its abundant and unpredictable abnormal regeneration characteristics, it has a real chance to give birth to a brand new Commander-level monster!

Himeko's gaze was deep, her thoughts racing, and she whispered in a low voice:
