Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 207 Strange Tree

Only after the forest was completely burned down were Russell and his companions able to truly enter the ruins.

"This place is at least a thousand years old." Russell walked into the pyramid altar and carefully observed the carvings on it.

"Is there a custom of demon worship here?" The others also noticed.

Russell approached and could barely recognize the familiar marks on the carving.

"Not only that, there's also a typical star worship!" Rosell's pupils contracted as he saw a familiar star map on the mural.

He is now an "astronomer," and studying the stars is an essential part of his role; the stars are also one of his sources of power.

However, within the "Church of Craftsmen," the study of the stars was also restricted to a very narrow scope, and it was strictly forbidden to deviate from it.

He could vaguely guess that this involved a huge secret, and he also sensed danger.

"Be careful, this place might be more dangerous than we think."

Russell's expression turned serious.

Chi Chi!

An unusual sound came from underground, and everyone's expression changed slightly.

Behind the pyramid altar, a large tree that had fallen to the ground rose up, its countless tendrils and vines enveloping the entire area.

"A tree giant?" Rosell recognized the tree giant. "I read about it in a book. Its core is one of the materials used by a certain demigod; it's incredibly powerful!"

"You guys protect me, play support, I'll handle him!"

Russell immediately retreated into the protective circle of the group.

"Attack!" The others also realized how troublesome their opponent was, and various magical and physical attacks landed on the vine tentacles to buy time for Roselle.

At that moment, a small figure made of metal appeared in Roselle's hand.

This is a sealed artifact formed by combining the characteristics of an "alchemist" with that of a puppet; it was Truman's advance payment.

"Activate!" Rosell bit his finger and smeared the blood on the metal figure. At that moment, Rosell's eyes glazed over and he lost consciousness.

Click!

The little metal figure started moving its arms and legs, and in an instant it grew to a height of two meters, becoming a metal giant, and charged towards the tree giant.

After being stained with Roselle's blood, the metal figure became imbued with Roselle's soul, controlled by him, and brought to life as an alchemical creation of the "Alchemist".

"Die!" Rosell's voice came from the metal giant's mouth, and a beam of starlight transformed into a longsword, which Rosell held in his hand and slashed at the tree giant.

After becoming an "astronomer," his combat abilities were enhanced, and the "alchemist" himself also possessed corresponding abilities.

laugh!

The longsword formed from starlight instantly severed most of the tree giant's tentacles, but this also angered the tree giant, and the sky was filled with leaves and tentacles surging up to completely engulf the metal giant.

"Record, Sun!" A golden light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the metal giant, and a phantom book of records burst forth with rings of golden flames.

These golden flames burned away all the leaves, and in the next instant, the metal giant even flashed behind the tree giant.

This is the "flash" of the "traveler".

click!

The tree giant's body suddenly froze.

The Spirit Threads of the "Master of Puppets".

The tree giant tried to resist, but in the next instant it forgot what it was supposed to do and could only be controlled until it died.

The "stealing" in "The Dream Thief" refers to the theft that can directly affect the level of thought.

It was Roselle who stole the Tree Giant's thoughts of rebellion, thus deepening his control over the Tree Giant's spiritual threads.

After becoming a Sequence Five, Roselle, with the abilities he gained from the Silver Medal, was able to overwhelm ordinary Sequence Fives and was comparable to ordinary demigods.

This also reflects the superiority of the silver medal; this quality will become even more apparent once Roselle becomes a demigod.

"Die!" Rosell's starlight sword pierced straight through the tree giant.

He did have the idea of ​​keeping the Tree Giant as a puppet, but it simply wasn't feasible; using the Metal Giant would also come at a great cost.

It will randomly drain the life force of a creature, and if it fails to drain the enemy's life force in time, it will backfire on Roselle's main body.

hum!

The three-meter-tall tree-man possessed terrifying vitality, but it was completely absorbed by the metal giant in a few moments, turning into a withered tree.

Rosell's true form instantly awakened, retrieved the metal giant that had turned back into a little golden man, and incidentally obtained the core of the tree giant.

This is a demigod material, extremely valuable.

"A good harvest!" Rosell looked at the Treant Core and nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's keep going!"

Roselle, feeling triumphant, continued onward with the knights.

Storm Pigeon is still on its way.

……

At this time, the "Punishers" of Bayam had all gone deep into the jungle. Ordinary people didn't feel anything, but the local faith that had been in conflict with the Storm Church for many years reacted.

Thick black clouds covered the entire city, and the wind and waves rolled in, as if they were about to unleash a tsunami that would destroy the city.

"Quiet." At the juncture where the spirit world and the real world meet, Truman gently pressed down with one hand, and a palace-sized, dark blue sea serpent was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

This is "Neptune" Kavituwa.

"The Book of Calamities?" Truman glanced at the Book of Calamities in response to some connection, but ignored it and instead looked at Renette Tinicol, who had come to stand in front of him.

"Tolzner sent you to see me?" Truman understood the mummy's intentions and casually flicked out a Dream Coin.

"Go do what you're supposed to do."

"..." Renette Tinicol silently put away the gold coins, bowed deeply, and then vanished in a phantom.

Throughout the entire process, He did not utter a single word, much like a mummy.

Of course, Truman didn't care about any of that and walked directly into the ruins that Rosell was conquering with Bethel.

"This is..." The scene inside the pyramid left Rosell and the others in awe.

Countless white bones were piled up around the altar, and judging from their posture, it seemed that an entire tribe had had their life force drained by the altar in an instant.

"Why?!" Even evil gods need believers; such genocide is rare.

"Anything related to the starry sky is indeed extremely sinister!" Roselle carved a path through the bones and approached the central altar.

The scene of the altar gradually appeared in everyone's eyes. It was a strange tree with a physical form, made up of human corpses and bones, covered with countless tumors and flowers. The surface of the tree was covered with countless human faces, suffering unspeakable pain and wailing silently.

The moment they saw the tree, Russell and the others were subjected to a terrifying mental shock.

A phantom and dazzling starry sky unfolded above the strange tree, with stars twinkling like eyes that looked toward Rosell.

More accurately, it was the silver medal on Russell's chest.
