Elf: I asked you to take the college entrance examination, and you took out a modifier?

In the core area of ​​the World Tree, there is actually another tree.

This tree is the true body of the World Tree!

Such an unexpected situation should have surprised Yun Xiao.

But his expression was extremely solemn.

Because - just above the top of the hundred-meter tree canopy, a black fog that covers the sky and the sun is shrouding this place.

A dark green light curtain was blocking the black fog out. The fog continued to corrode it and then quickly recovered.

Chapter 113 I didn’t expect the effect to be so good

Yun Xiao didn't expect that there was actually a tree in the core of this world tree.

Moreover, this tree is the true body of the World Tree.

At this moment, the body of the World Tree was being continuously eroded by the black mist. The bright green barrier was becoming weaker and weaker, as if it would break at any time.

If this fog is allowed to break in, the consequences can be imagined.

The body of the World Tree will also rot and wither in the fog just like the branches and leaves outside!

This is probably the crisis that the World Tree is facing as mentioned in the mission.

But until now, Yun Xiao still hasn't figured out where this "fog of time and space" suddenly came from.

Why do these things erode the World Tree?

While Yun Xiao was thinking, Lucario beside him focused his attention on another place.

——Around the body of the World Tree, there are many crystals shining with colorful light.

And inside a huge crystal, there was a man wearing a black robe and a blue hat.

He sat quietly in the crystal with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

When Lucario saw the man in the crystal, his pupils suddenly contracted and widened, and he rushed directly to the crystal.

Because the man was none other than his master from a thousand years ago - Yalang!

"What's wrong with you?! Why are you in the crystal?!"

He shouted subconsciously, but stopped suddenly.

The wave transmitted back from the crystal told him one thing - Yalang had lost all vital signs.

He sleeps forever in this crystal.

A piercing sadness surged into Lucario's heart, and at that moment, a flower of time quietly bloomed at Lucario's feet.

Scenes from the past appeared before him.

The crumbling core of the World Tree was surrounded by a flashing red light.

Black fog enveloped the core area, constantly eroding everything around it.

"It looks like there's still time."

Yalang looked at the body of the World Tree that was beginning to wither in front of him, took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand as if he had made some kind of decision.

Dazzling deep blue waves burst out from his body, continuously pouring into the body of the World Tree.

The World Tree, which had already withered for the most part, began to regain its vitality.

...

The buds of the world flower closed, and the image disappeared.

Lucario stared at Aaron in the crystal for a long time without moving.

It turned out that he really didn't run away.

He paid the price of his own life to quell the disaster that happened a thousand years ago.

Lucario stretched out his claws and touched the ice crystals, his expression dazed.

But why... didn’t Yalang take me with him?

We had agreed to go together wherever we go, and to walk side by side no matter what kind of battle we encounter...

why?

Lucario was immersed in sadness and confusion, but Yun Xiao noticed a problem from the previous scene.

In the original theatrical plot, it was only mentioned that there was an unavoidable war a thousand years ago, and it was related to the World Tree, but the reason for all this was not mentioned.

But now it seems that what caused the disaster thousands of years ago is still the fog of time and space that is constantly eroding the core area!

He frowned and looked at Menghuan beside him.

"Dream, what's going on with this fog?"

The other party is a phantom elf who has lived for thousands of years, and perhaps he has some understanding of this fog of time and space.

However, Menghuan shook her head, and her voice was filled with nervousness, which echoed in Yun Xiao's heart.

[I don't know either... Thousands of years ago, this kind of fog suddenly appeared and almost destroyed the World Tree.]

[Originally, this foggy World Tree could compete with it, but the time when it appeared happened to be the World Tree's weakening period. ]

"Debilitated?"

Yun Xiao immediately caught the word.

Menghuan nodded and spoke quickly.

[As the sacred tree that gives life to the entire earth, the World Tree also has reincarnation like all life in the world. ]

[Every thousand years, the power of the Time Tree will begin to gradually weaken, and it will be reborn at the weakest moment.]

"Once a thousand years... In other words, now is the World Tree's period of decline?"

Yun Xiao frowned.

If this is true, then the timing of the appearance of the space fog is too coincidental.

It’s as if... someone knew that the World Tree was at its weakest at this time and did it on purpose!

[Yes, the weakened period is the most vulnerable time for the World Tree, but with the vast power of the World Tree, even in the weakened period, nothing can threaten it. ]

[Also, the World Tree is protected by the Three Divine Pillars, so there shouldn't be any problems.]

Menghuan said hurriedly.

[But that fog is so weird. Not only is the World Tree helpless, but the three pillars and the elves are all crazy... I can't communicate with them normally.]

Just as he finished speaking, there was another loud bang, and the entire World Tree began to tremble violently.

More and more black fog began to pour in from above, and the shield of the World Tree itself could no longer support it, and it shattered and dissipated.

The black fog seemed to have life. It immediately enveloped the entire tree and began to corrode and devour it!

The situation has reached the most critical moment!

Dream looked at Lucario and said hurriedly:

[Only the power of the wave can allow the World Tree to survive the weakening period ahead of time and complete its rebirth. If the World Tree is swallowed up, the whole world will be doomed! ]

Lucario, who understood everything, stood up from the crystal with a look of determination in his eyes.

【what should I do? 】

[I am the symbiotic spirit of the World Tree, you just need to pass the power of the wave to me! ]

Mew flew directly in front of Lucario and said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Lucario stretched out his two claws and placed them in front of Mew, mobilizing the wave power in his body without reservation.

A deep blue light ignited and completely immersed in the dreamy body.

The rate of corrosion of the World Tree also began to slow down suddenly, and even some of the originally withered places began to grow new buds.

As time passed, intense pain suddenly struck Lucario's heart.

The wave guide is the most fundamental power in his body. If it is consumed excessively, he will die like Yalang!

But Lucario did not hesitate at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and increased the power of the wave.

His mission is to protect the city of Orudron. If the World Tree is destroyed, both the residents and the elves in the city will disappear in despair.

Even if it costs his life, he will never allow this to happen!

"let me help you."

Seeing this, Yun Xiao also stretched out his hands towards Menghuan.

The vast wave force like the ocean began to emerge continuously!

[Such wave power....]

Huanhuan was dumbfounded.

He hadn't realized before that the wave power in this human's body was even more amazing than Lucario's!

In fact, he is even more powerful than the wave guide messenger named Yalang who lived a thousand years ago!

But this human only looks like an adult... How can he have such exaggerated power? !

While Huanhuan was frightened, the black mist on the body of the World Tree, which had been getting better, suddenly began to surge!

The new sprouts that had just grown were swallowed up by the fog at this moment!

[No! There is too much black fog this time...You are not strong enough!]

The dreamy voice sounded anxiously again.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lucario's claws began to tremble.

He can't hold on any longer!

In the original work, Xiaozhi's power plus Lucario's wave power are enough to restore the world tree to normal.

But the current situation is completely different - even the vast waveguide in Yun Xiao's body is unable to help the World Tree resist the erosion of fog!

[It's over.. It's all over..]
