Faris dismissed the white-robed figures around her and said awkwardly, "Well... when I was still working under the Moon God Dragon, she asked me to secretly replace the Wood God Dragon Church."
“I gave orders to the White Magic Order, and then I encountered you at the Water Dragon... You know what happened after that.”
So this is what happened after all that.
Everyone was speechless. They'd finally found some guys they could beat up, and a whole group of them at that, and now they were being told these people were barely even half of their own people...
Feeling the resentful looks from everyone, Faris became even more embarrassed and could only quickly change the subject, "The reason why the Moon Dragon asked me to do this is because there is a special crystal in each of the five Wood Dragon Churches. When these crystals are broken, the Wood Dragon will awaken from its slumber."
This is good news. Hope's biggest worry was that the Wood Dragon would suddenly awaken while he was moving to a new town.
Now he can proceed with confidence and boldness. As for how to settle these hundreds of thousands of people, that will naturally be left to the Kirtina Council to deal with.
Upon learning of Hope's plan to relocate the town, Faris's expression changed. She said seriously, "Although I haven't controlled the Church of the Wood Dragon for long, my subordinates have discovered a shocking secret."
"The reason why the Wood Dragon is willing to let humans live on it is because it regards humans as seeds for recuperation! And the seeds can provide nutrients for the Wood Dragon."
Faris gritted her teeth, "Once it detects a large-scale loss of 'nutrients,' the Wood Dragon will definitely awaken on its own. At that time, the residents who were 'seeds' will turn into trees and become a complete part of the Wood Dragon!"
Chapter 310 The Awakening of the Wood Dragon
The atmosphere inside the church suddenly froze.
Faris's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's hearts. Hundreds of thousands of lives, hundreds of years of faith, in the end, were merely "nutrients" carefully cultivated by the Wood Dragon?
"What did you say?!"
Natsu was the first to explode, flames instantly erupting from his body. "What does that damn dragon take humans for?!"
Gray's face turned ashen. "No wonder it would invite humans to live on its body, no wonder it has never hurt anyone for hundreds of years... it turns out it was raising pigs."
Lucy covered her mouth, "Those residents still believe in it so devoutly..."
"That's so mean..." Wendy said with a look of pity.
Erza took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. "Fallis, is this information accurate?"
Faris nodded solemnly, “The magic of the Wood Dragon will silently seep into the bodies of the inhabitants, absorbing their life force and magic power. But because the process is extremely slow, it takes decades for the effects to appear, so it has never been noticed by anyone.”
Laxus scoffed, "In other words, everyone in this town has been a part of the Wood Dragon since the moment they were born."
Gajeel said coldly, "I never thought such a huge dragon would turn around and suck human blood. It's no different from a parasite. It's disgusting."
Those who thought themselves lucky and protected were actually just long-term nourishment for the Wood Dragon. Once the Wood Dragon needed to replenish its power or felt threatened, these hundreds of thousands of people would be harvested instantly.
Even the evil dragon that instigated the war between humans and dragons 400 years ago didn't have such audacity. It seems that the Wood God Dragon Aldoron's ambition is as great as its size.
"So what should we do now?" Kana scratched her head in frustration. "Isn't there any way to save these people?"
Mirajane glanced at Hope instinctively, only to find him staring intently at the stained glass windows of the church dome, seemingly oblivious to the seriousness of the situation.
"Hope? You have a plan?"
"Ah."
A single word silenced everyone.
Hope withdrew her gaze. "Actually, the solution to the problem of the people merging with the Wood Dragon is quite simple. Just send them to another world before the Wood Dragon can react."
Everyone smirked. This was no simple matter; it involved the global relocation of hundreds of thousands of people...
"Huh? You guys can't do it?"
Seeing everyone's expressions, Hope spread his hands and said, "No way, no way, not one of you can even manage to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people."
It's hardened; its fists have hardened.
Seeing Hope's smug expression, everyone felt conflicted. It was perfectly reasonable that they couldn't handle something this important; the abnormal one was...
However, Hope's words were a wake-up call, and everyone quickly understood what he meant.
As long as the hundreds of thousands of people in the five towns can be transferred to other worlds in a short period of time, even the most powerful magic of the Wood Dragon cannot be effective across worlds.
Instead of living in constant fear of a ticking time bomb that could wake up at any moment, it's better to cut the fuse directly.
"Then it's settled."
Erza immediately made the decision, "Fallis, have your subordinates immediately notify the leaders of the other four Wood Dragon Churches to prepare for the relocation!"
Faris nodded and immediately gave the order, and the people in white robes scattered in all directions.
The Church of the Wood Dragon was secretly replaced by the White Magic Order. Because the church was a place where the residents prayed to the Wood Dragon, it held a special status, and it would be much easier to persuade the residents through this identity.
Fairy Tail is known for its exceptional execution. With Hope's "Water Wings" connecting the five towns and the assistance of the White Magic Order brought by Faris, they quickly set up large-scale magic circles in the five towns.
Under the influence of the 'Sleep' magic, the residents of the five towns all fell asleep instantly.
Hope took a deep breath and raised her hands.
In an instant, countless streams of water surged forth from the five large magic arrays, transforming into a vast expanse of mist that spread outwards. The mist rose higher and higher, spreading wider and wider, eventually forming a massive water curtain that enveloped the five towns.
Hope closed his eyes, and magic surged wildly. The magic crystals he had prepared beforehand floated around him, continuously providing additional magic power.
Multiple 'Water Wings' activated!
The five bustling towns vanished instantly in the mist, teleported to Edolas by Hope along with the towns and their inhabitants.
The next second, a deep, thunderous roar resounded, the magic flowing within the dragon's body roaring.
The colossal creature, which had been lying prostrate on the earth, slowly raised its enormous head, its eyelids trembling, and its eyes, which had been closed for hundreds of years, suddenly opened.
The Wood Dragon Aldoron has awakened!
Where are my seeds?!
"Who is it?! Who on earth is it?!"
The sound was deep and resonant, like the rumble of the Earth's core, echoing throughout the entire world.
Hundreds of thousands of people in five towns disappeared, and the "nutrients" that had been carefully cultivated for hundreds of years vanished in an instant. How could the Wood Dragon not be furious?
The wooden dragon propped itself up on its limbs and slowly rose from its crawling position.
Only now could everyone truly see the complete form of this giant dragon. Its body stretched for hundreds of kilometers, each scale was like a small mountain, and its thick limbs stomped on the earth, causing one violent earthquake after another.
"This is too big..." Kana tilted her head back, squeezing out a dry sound from her throat.
The size of the Wood Dragon completely overturned everyone's understanding of "dragons." Even a hundred Sword Saint Dragons combined wouldn't be half the size of the Wood Dragon.
That's ridiculously big.
After roaring angrily a few times, the Wood Dragon finally noticed that there were several tiny humans on its body, one of whom was emanating fluctuations of spatial magic.
This magical aura was the one that had just transferred all its "seeds".
"Humans..."
The Wood Dragon's deep voice was like the collapse of the heavens, each syllable causing the air to tremble.
"You're the one who ruined my four hundred years of hard work."
"Yes, I did it." Hope nodded, admitting it readily. He was curious to see how the Wood Dragon would deal with the person on its body.
Before the Wood Dragon could make a move, Natsu, who had been itching for a fight, struck first, delivering a powerful and heavy Fire Dragon Iron Fist that slammed into the ground.
The scorching air dispersed, and Natsu withdrew his numb fist, looking at the undamaged ground. "Wow, it's not even a scratch. This dragon's skin is too tough."
Just then, the ground around them suddenly cracked open, and a large number of saplings emerged from the ground, quickly growing into tree people who stood up.
The Wood Dragon's methods have begun.
What level is Chapter 311?
Tree-men emerged from the cracks, multiplying into hundreds and thousands in the blink of an eye.
They had no facial features; their bodies, twisted from tree branches, had two hollow cracks on their heads that shimmered with a ghostly purple light, which seemed to "look" at Hope and her group like eyes, and then spoke in unison:
“I am a part of the Wood Dragon Aldoron, the Seed of God Wolfen.”
"Now we will eliminate the human thieves who are absorbing the Wood Dragon's nutrients."
This group of identical-looking tree-like beings were manifestations of the power of "God Seed: Wolfen." One of the tree-like beings suddenly stretched out its arm and grabbed Natsu, who was curiously staring at him.
Natsu reacted instinctively, his fist, burning with Dragon Slayer flames, slammed into the oncoming twisted wooden arm, the flames roaring and instantly turning it into charcoal.
"Huh? How come it's so weak?" Natsu complained disdainfully. "The Seed of God, I thought it was something special, but it turns out it's just this weak."
Wolfen discarded his charred arm, and in the blink of an eye, a brand new arm grew. "Ignorant human, I have read your memories. Let the powerful mage who will fight you to the death appear here!"
Under Natsu's puzzled gaze, the tree-man's body suddenly twisted and contorted under Wolfen's influence, rapidly reassembling until it transformed into an image that astonished everyone.
A blue cat that looks exactly like Harpy.
Hope picked at her ear and asked Mirajane beside her, "Did I hear that right? That wooden figure was talking about a mage who could fight Natsu to the death..."
"Ew! It really is me!" Happy exclaimed excitedly, hands on his hips. "So Natsu thinks I'm that strong."
Natsu gave it a thumbs up.
Kana was still a bit confused. "Why did that guy suddenly turn into a hobby? Did he weaken himself? Or is he afraid we can't beat him?"
Why......
Wolfen also wants to ask this question.
He stared at his cat's body and screamed in frustration, "What is this?! Why did I turn into a stupid cat?!"
“No, you’re not mistaken.” Natsu said with a serious expression.
"That's completely wrong!" Wolfen angrily retorted, "In your heart, there should be a more powerful person, so why is it a cat!"
“Ah, that’s because you mentioned the person I’m fighting to the death with,” Natsu replied matter-of-factly. “Happy is always with you when the enemy fights to the death.”
Wolfen: "Is that what I meant? You idiot, haven't you ever read a book?"
Natsu looked at him with admiration, "You even noticed that."
Wolfen clutched his chest, nearly choking on his own breath.
Although he was essentially a magical plant created by the Wood Dragon, and shouldn't have experienced any drastic emotional changes, Wolfen felt his blood pressure rising.
Looking into Natsu's clear eyes, untouched by knowledge, Wolfen gritted his teeth in anger. He had been tricked by a mere intellectual, and he had even gone to find him himself.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, the more I think about it.
