I'm not just human!

In the atmosphere of Gilgamesh, Patriarch Heimdall shook hands with Shaphat repeatedly, exchanging pleasantries.

As arguably the most powerful of the guests, Patriarch Heimdall, on behalf of the other guests who stayed the previous night, bid farewell to Shaphat.

Shaphat held Patriarch Heimdall's hand, his face full of genuine smiles:

"Come visit often if you have the chance! And everyone, I'm always happy to welcome you!"

Patriarch Heimdall laughed:

"Sure, sure, then that's settled. Xia Fa, don't bother seeing me off."

Although Patriarch Heimdall was polite on the surface, everyone present knew that according to the rules and etiquette, Shaphat had to be escorted all the way to the outer planet, in order to show that the Gilgamesh family was sincere and had good family traditions.

Shafa did indeed do so; there was no other way. It wasn't for his own sake, but for the reputation of the Gilgamesh family.

Outside Gilgamesh, the Protoss warships, somewhat resembling pirate ships, were parked. They were specifically designed for Protoss warships to allow visitors to return home.

Seeing that Xia Fa had escorted everyone all the way out of the atmosphere of Gilgamesh, they realized that Xia Fa had just escorted them all the way out of the atmosphere of Gilgamesh.

boom!!!!!

At that moment, the entire universe seemed to tremble.

The starry sky, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, was torn apart, revealing a celestial rift that spanned countless planets.

A scarlet hand, resembling that of a tree-man, with intertwined branches, stretched out suddenly, crushing countless planets and meteorites in an instant. It carried a terrifying aura of an outer god and reached for Xiafa!

Chapter 339 Dictator finally appears! Two true gods clash?

The universe is so vast and boundless, magnificent and eternal.

The starry sky, stretching for billions of miles, seems to have no end, with countless stars twinkling throughout.

Beyond Gilgamesh's planet, there are countless planets and inhabited planets scattered throughout the starry sky.

This added a touch of liveliness to the desolate starry sky, and made Gilgamesh no longer seem so lonely.

However, at this moment, as the giant hand with its gnarled branches pressed down, hundreds of planets shattered, causing the starry sky to tremble violently and creating a storm of turbulent time and space, as if the moment of world destruction had arrived.

Especially around the giant palm of the tree-man, in places that were otherwise empty or only had broken stones, countless blood-red tree-men instantly sprouted, like pillars. In the middle of each pillar was a terrifying human face, either crying or laughing, flying around everywhere, extremely bizarre.

Hundreds of kilometers away from the giant palm of the tree-man, a planet that was fortunate enough to escape being grazed also grew strangely shaped, withered trees, adding to the desolate and lonely atmosphere of the already barren planet.

With a "whoosh," an extremely peculiar and powerful force instantly teleported everyone except Shafa back to Gilgamesh.

Even their respective Protoss warships were moved back.

Even the strongest beings on earth, such as Patriarch Heimdall and Emperor Shalatu, were powerless to resist.

Only Xiafa remained, with his insignificant human body, facing alone the giant hands of the tree-men that blotted out the universe.

The space around Xia Fa had long been imprisoned, and time had stopped flowing. The feeling he had when facing the Silver Cleaners returned once again, and it was even more powerful, more bizarre, and more difficult to defend against than the Silver Cleaners had been.

The giant treant's hand was quite sophisticated; not only did it crush planets devoid of life, but it also killed only Shafa, teleporting everyone else back to Gilgamesh.

"【Crimson Demon Tree】..."

Xiafa had considered the possibility of being retaliated against by the Outer God, the Crimson Tree, but he always felt that since he was currently on Gilgamesh and would later return to Kaligi, as long as he was careful, the Crimson Tree would not dare to directly enter the real world and attack him.

But now, facing the colossal, sky-covering hands of the tree-man, he realized that he had underestimated the bottom line of these gods who had chosen to side with the Cleaners.

As the giant treant hand of the Crimson Demon Tree drew ever closer to Xiafa, an atmosphere of despair permeated the air. It seemed that human strength could not withstand it; it appeared that without becoming a god, there was only the fate of being slaughtered.

Inside the atmosphere of Gilgamesh, Emperor Sharatul was furious, Patriarch Heimdall was enraged, and even the usually composed Patriarch Osius was extremely indignant.

But no one could do anything about it.

Because this is an Outer God, and one who has lived for nearly 30,000 years without losing control or going mad, with a seniority almost as long as that of the True Gods!

Its power is self-evident.

Although Xia Fa was also unable to move, he felt an unprecedented sense of peace within himself.

thump!

thump!

thump!

Inside his chest, his first and second hearts, which resembled the sun, began to pound violently, as if a scorching, fierce flame was about to erupt from them.

This is different from the Silver Cleanser incident. Although the Silver Cleanser's status was suppressed to below that of an Outer God in the Old Forge, he was still unable to move.

But at that time, he hadn't signed the fifth overlord-level secret contract, and the burning sensation in his heart meridian had also dried up.

And now-

Seeing that the giant treant hand of the [Crimson Demon Tree] had approached to within a hundred miles, Xia Fa clenched his fists, preparing to recklessly draw out the [Ancient Treasure - Rhine Blade of Calamity].

He wasn't going to risk his life, but rather to use himself as bait to try and save his own life!

Although the Crimson Tree is an Outer God, it can't be killed with only one hand reaching into the real world!

Although taking out the [Ancient Treasure - Rhine Blade of Calamity] would expose his identity as someone who had signed five overlord-level secret contracts, and would attract endless pursuit from the fake Nine Great Gods and the Golden Cleansers, Xia Fa couldn't care less about that now.

Later is later; if we don't act now, we'll lose our lives.

At worst, I can give up on [Eternal Critical Strike], absorb and contain [Eternal Secret], and hide away in my own little world.

Just as Xia Fa made up his mind, a strange scene suddenly appeared.

Suddenly, the giant palm of the tree-man, which was only a dozen kilometers away and seemed to be just a moment away, stopped inexplicably.

The pause didn't seem like the Crimson Tree had given up; rather, it seemed like... this Outer God had been greatly affected and was no longer able to continue attacking Shafa.

However, neither Shafa himself nor the guests in the atmosphere of Gilgamesh sensed any divine power.

In this situation, either a true god deliberately concealed their aura, or... a god or outer god possessing one of the strongest dozens of [Eternal Tokens] secretly intervened!

That's right. If one possesses one of the strongest dozens of "Eternal Tokens," then even a god could briefly cause such an effect, but the price to pay would be extremely high.

"snort--!"

A cold snort emanated from the star spirit rift, stretching for billions of miles, carrying a strong warning and threat. Undoubtedly, it came from the Outer God, the Crimson Demon Tree.

Immediately afterward, seemingly fearing that continuing in this manner might lead to some negative consequences, or perhaps realizing that someone was secretly interfering and that this surprise attack could only end in vain, the Crimson Demon Tree withdrew its giant treant hand.

Outside Gilgamesh, the void that once filled the planet is now a desolate wasteland, littered with rubble and metal fragments, as well as high-temperature plasma from the cooling Earth's core, as if meteorites and magma have suddenly filled the sky.

Just before the Crimson Demon Tree withdrew its palm, a tender green leaf sprouted from a branch in its palm. The leaf flashed and burst forth with a strange and powerful force, which instantly spread to the surrounding area.

At this moment, outside Gilgamesh's planet, time reversed, space converged, and the hundreds of planets that He had shattered instantly reformed, as if they had never been broken at all.

Only the reality corrupted by Him, those strange tree-people, and the planets that have grown withered trees, seem irreversible and beyond redemption.

"You will clean up the pollution in reality as the price for letting you off the hook."

The Crimson Tree left behind these words, its voice sounding like two rough pieces of wood rubbing against each other. Immediately afterward, the Protoss rift healed completely, like a zipper being pulled up, and disappeared.

Within the atmosphere of Gilgamesh, countless figures rushed out and immediately surrounded Shafa.

"Great-grandson, are you alright?"

The first to rush over was Holy Emperor Sharatu, his face filled with worry and concern as he asked questions.

Solrock and Folnir followed closely behind, immediately joining in as well.

"Xia Fa, are you hurt? Damn it, this is outrageous!"

"Master, you..."

Before Xia Fa could answer, Patriarch Heimdall and the others had already flown over. They disregarded their dignity and status and, like old women, began to ask him questions with great concern.

"Quick, quick, check if your mind has been corrupted!"

"Has this Crimson Demon Tree gone mad? It dared to approach the real world without permission and even attacked you. When I get back, I must report this to Lord Absolute Defense!"

"Hmm, his condition is quite stable, thank goodness, thank goodness. Don't worry, Shafa, even I can't swallow this insult. The 'Paradox Joker' worshipped by your Gilgamesh family will definitely not let him off easily!"

Although he had just experienced the second greatest danger of his life—the first being when he was targeted by the golden cleaner wielding a halberd in the city of the giant jaw beast—Xia Fa felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he faced everyone's undisguised concern.

Clearly, everyone has seen with their own eyes that he has been targeted by the powerful and veteran Outer God, the Crimson Demon Tree, which is tantamount to making an enemy of him...

"Don't worry, I'm fine, just now..."

After quickly using his spiritual intuition to check his entire body and confirming that there were no problems and that he had not been affected by any methods planted by the Crimson Demon Tree, Xia Fa reassured everyone.

However, Xia Fa was genuinely puzzled as to why the Crimson Demon Tree stopped, or rather, who stopped it.

Everyone was quite puzzled and there was a lot of discussion.

"Perhaps His unauthorized approach to the real world was discovered by one of the nine righteous gods, which is why he had to stop."

"I also think it's possible."

"Haha, our Xia Fa family head is a Heavenly Mandate Holy Spirit. He has access to far more god-level beings than we do. It's also possible that some being He knows helped Him?"

“That makes sense… In short, Xia Fa, you’re really lucky to be alive. You’ll have to thank them properly in the future.”

"I'm getting angrier and angrier the more I think about it. Is this Crimson Demon Tree really that shameless? His subordinates caused trouble, and he was killed because he couldn't defeat Xiafa. Yet he still has the nerve to seek revenge, and he's doing it in the form of an outer god against a mortal!"

"Don't worry, the Nine Great Gods will definitely punish Him. To dare to approach the real world without the permission of the Nine Great Gods is to be tired of living."

"Yes, and they still have the nerve to say they let us go and let us clean up the pollution He has caused to the real world? Would He dare to kill tens of thousands of us?"

Seeing that Xia Fa was alright, everyone gathered around him, discussing the matter, and couldn't help but feel indignant.

However, many astute people, their eyes darting around, remained silent, realizing that something extremely amiss.

First, at the grand banquet of the Gilgamesh family patriarch, the Fearful Witch King, the patriarch of the Brief Church, personally led the Scarlet Agents to cause trouble.

Now, the Crimson Demon Tree actually dares to attack Shafa without regard for the consequences, even though Shafa has just left the atmosphere of Gilgamesh...

It's important to understand that both the Gilgamesh family itself and Gilgamesh Planet, this super-large life-bearing planet, are protected and blessed by the righteous god, the Paradox Joker!

In the past, the Crimson Tree wouldn't have dared to make a move near Gilgamesh, let alone the head of the Gilgamesh family deliberately going to the Protoss Realm.

But now, not only did He take action, but seeing that the sneak attack had failed, He even openly and subtly warned and threatened Xia Fa, the new head of the family...

Everyone couldn't help but speculate: Could it be that the two true gods, [Paradox Joker] and [Temporary Reality], have really started fighting?

Is it because the Crimson Demon Tree has the support of the righteous god, Brief Reality, that it dares to act so recklessly?

Or perhaps, the Gilgamesh family has lost power and no longer enjoys the favor of the Paradox Joker?

Of course, everyone kept these speculations to themselves and dared not utter a single word about them.
