Chapter 742 The Undead in the Tree Heart Space

Unlike the city at night disguised by inverted trees.

The Tree Heart Space is a monotonous darkness.

As soon as Saul entered, he felt the dampness and oppression.

It felt as if someone had buried them alive deep underground.

However, the gentle touch of the upside-down tree species quickly relieved his discomfort.

If Thor could completely devour the tree seed instead of simply carrying it around, he might even come to like the dark and tranquil feeling.

Unfortunately, the tree species were intended for small algae.

After Thor got used to the place, he looked up and saw Bestana, whose face was only half human.

That is, the expressionless wizard Beth he had seen in the Dean's office at Bydon College.

Beth remained expressionless, but apart from that expressionless face, she had no other body.

Her body had completely transformed into tree branches, and countless tiny roots had grown out of them, so numerous they were dazzling to the eye.

Some of these roots hang high, while others droop straight down.

These roots and branches surround Bestana's head at the center.

"Wizard Thor, when you first came to Archaeologist City, Bydon Academy treated you with great hospitality and provided you with a lot of help. And now this is how you repay me!"

Bestana's voice was flat, but her words were full of anger.

Thor sneered, "Stop pretending, Bestana. If I were subdued by Dean Pound in the outside world, you'd probably be happy to use me as nourishment to sustain your spirit, wouldn't you?"

Thor looked Bestana up and down, then suddenly shook his head.

"Actually, I came here today hoping to make a deal with you. But now it seems you don't even have the basic qualifications to reach a deal."

Thor abandoned Bestana and flew to Char's side, who was unconscious.

At this moment, Char is holding the tooth of the skeletal monster that Thor brought back from the Chaotic Realm. It has been contaminated by radiation, and its spirit is beginning to transform into an evil spirit.

Thor took the tooth from Char's fingertip, pressed it back into his left palm, and sealed off the contamination.

Then, his right hand transformed into a tentacle again and slapped directly onto Xia's face. With a gentle swipe of his left hand, he separated Xia's head from his body.

After his head and body were separated, Char's body completely transformed in the blink of an eye, becoming a sphere with an uneven surface.

Aside from the color, it really does resemble the moon.

But the moon soon began to deform, its surface becoming uneven, and eventually, it even grew sharp spikes.

The moon, which was perfectly fine, suddenly appeared to be covered in a hedgehog's skin.

Thor quickly discovered properties such as "sharpness" and "damage" on this mindless evil spirit.

If an ordinary person or a wizard's apprentice accidentally comes into contact with this evil spirit, they will develop wounds that cannot heal, bleeding painfully until they die.

However, in the face of Thor, who was already at the third level, the evil spirits that had been mutated from Char's spirit body were no match for him.

Thor transferred Char's head to his left hand, and then his right hand, which had transformed into a tentacle, expanded instantly, becoming enormous. It was like an octopus extending all its tentacles and opening its mouth wide to swallow the spiky ball whole.

Its sharpness and damage had no effect whatsoever; it was simply absorbed by the tentacles like jelly.

After ingesting it, the spirit and the contamination are split in two within the tentacles.

The spirit was expelled again, while the contamination remained on the tip of the tentacle, which Thor eventually pulled off and preserved in isolation.

Thor reattached the cleansed spirit to Char's neck.

However, the clean spirit body is like a chewed cake, no longer in its original exquisite form.

Char's body part of his spirit body turned into a chaotic lump of mud.

Thor pinched it a couple of times with his hands and found that it was difficult to restore it to its original state, so he decided to wait for Char to deal with it himself later.

After receiving treatment from Thor, Char's stagnant consciousness finally began to function again.

When he opened his eyes again, the first thing that struck him as incredible was Bestana standing behind Thor.

"How did you do that? You managed to completely separate the pollution from the spirit?"

Thor dragged Char closer to Bestana, secretly watching for any last resistance from her.

"I have dealt with the dead a lot and seen many souls. For example, I can see right now that your sacrifice has not achieved the desired effect."

The closer Thor got to Bestana, the more he could tell that something was wrong with her.

Bestana blinked, her eyelashes curling up messily like withered branches.

"Yes, it is the tooth you gave to Char."

Bestana's voice remained completely calm, even as she discussed her own demise.

"I originally thought I hadn't come into contact with the contamination on that tooth, and I was even laughing at Char's reckless act of mutual destruction. Little did I know, the truly foolish one was myself."

"From the moment this tooth was exposed, it began to subtly emit a pollution that I couldn't detect and couldn't resist!"

Her face was tilted slightly upward, as if she wanted to look at the sky, but there was only darkness above her head and roots swaying as she moved.

"I sacrificed the entire city, but with each spirit I absorb, the pollution on my body worsens. I can already feel its pollution spreading to my roots and branches, and the abundant spiritual power only makes me feel incredibly weak, as if I have lost all my strength."

Thor freed one hand to rest his chin on his hand. "Are you just stalling for time by going into such detail?"

Bestana's eyes widened suddenly as she stared at Thor in disbelief.

"No need to praise me," Thor waved his hand.

"Hehehe..." Bestana, who had remained emotionless until now, suddenly burst into laughter. "So what if you found out? I've sealed off the Tree Heart Space. Even if you're a third-tier being, you can't break through the cage I've built with my life! Since I can't be resurrected, then you might as well die here with me!"

The space in the tree's core suddenly brightened, as if switching from night to day in an instant.

Around Sol, as far as the eye can see, there are countless branches and roots.

At some point, they had spread throughout the entire tree core space, forming a cage with no end in sight.

"Only spirits can enter the Tree Heart Space; your body is still outside. No matter how powerful you are, a body without a soul can be slowly ground to death by the inverted tree. After that, you will be trapped here forever, gradually dissipating after my death!"

Bestana seemed to have given up on resurrection, focusing all her energy on trapping Thor in the Tree Heart space.

Thor tried to sense his body, but the dense branches and roots made the entire space seem detached from the world.

Thor showed no sign of panic. After a moment's thought, he led Char closer to Beth.

The distance between them gradually decreased, ten meters, five meters... one meter.

Finally, Thor only needed to raise his hand to touch Beth's face.

The only face left.

"Actually, I still have a way to survive." Thor really raised his hand, his fingertips almost touching the other person's nose.

"That means replacing you, becoming the core of the inverted tree, establishing a connection with it, and turning it into my locator. It's like becoming another you."

A flicker of panic crossed Bestana's face.

However, before she could refute anything, Thor suddenly lowered his head and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe, hehehe, hahaha..."

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laughed... Your acting is really terrible!" Thor's smile vanished instantly. "Actually, your real purpose in sealing off the Tree Heart Space was to make me willingly take your place as the core of the Upside-Down Tree, wasn't it?"

Bestana was taken aback, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Thor tilted his head. "Whether you want me to suffer the same pain you did, or you simply hope that after you die from the contamination, I can take your place and keep the upside-down tree alive... oh, your eyes tell me it's the latter..."

"If that's the case, then things are even easier." Thor's right fingertip suddenly turned into a gray, semi-transparent tentacle. "I'll give you a second option. Shall we make a deal?"
