Players’ NPC daddy

The golden sea of ​​trees can be said to be the ecological overlord of the entire world. It changes the surrounding environment. It desires life, nature, prosperity and all the good things, so the earth becomes full of vitality.

The black gold forest must grow in the world of death, so it turns the earth into the underworld Kul.

Both of them have the same origin and share one characteristic as ecological niche overlords, that is, as plants they merely transform the environment and do not dominate the life born in the environment.

Just like the trees of life exist in a low-key manner, no one knows their location, and some monsters even eat the trees of life as food to break through their restrictions.

The Anti-Life Trees are much more domineering. They have been connected together, and their hazy consciousness has awakened to become the god named Ereshkigal. The Black-Gold Sea of ​​Trees is an extension of Ereshkigal's will. If anything attacks the Black-Gold Sea of ​​Trees, it will be immediately detected and counterattacked.

If it is within the range of the underworld Kul, all beings can feel the intimidation of the only mistress of the underworld from the roots of the black gold forest.

Just as there are more than just trees of life in the Golden Sea of ​​Trees, there are more than just the Black Golden Sea of ​​Trees in the Underworld Kurnai. When the Black Golden Sea of ​​Trees was cultivated and the land was transformed, accompanying creatures were also born.

It is a plant-type monster that grew out of the roots of the black gold forest. In principle, all life in the environment should be evolving towards becoming an ecological overlord.

Today, the ecological overlord in the underworld of Kul is undoubtedly the black golden forest, so all existences in it are evolving towards the black golden forest, and the indigenous inhabitants of the afterlife are crawling out of the land one by one in the form of plants.

[Small Anti-Life Tree LV350]

[Targeting the Anti-Life Tree, the evolved form of the natives of the afterlife. Although their powers are vastly different, their forms and properties are almost the same. When in the underworld, their levels are reduced by 100.]

Small anti-life trees, which can be called mini giants, emerge one by one from the land of the underworld Kuer. The highest level and largest anti-life tree is LV350, as tall as the walls of Camelot, and the lowest is LV250, as tall as a city gate.

This is undoubtedly a new enemy that has emerged as the Dark World Kuer has expanded to the next stage. If these small anti-life trees were to invade the three main areas, it would be hard to tell how much vitality they could take away.

But the small anti-life tree was used to invade human cities.

As expected, the black gold forest interfered with the teleportation tower, using it as an invasion point and launching attacks on multiple cities at the same time.

Fortunately, the players would rather do nothing than leave their posts. They reacted immediately to the attack of the small anti-life tree and launched a defensive operation. The residents were also dispersed immediately.

The attack mode of the small anti-life tree is completely different from that of the black gold tree sea.

The goal of the Black Gold Forest is always to plunder vitality. Its targets are the Peace Olive Tree, the Golden Apple Forest and the Golden Forest. It will only passively launch attacks when players launch extremely fierce attacks and hinder the Black Gold Forest.

But the small anti-life tree goes straight for people, no matter if they are players, ordinary residents, or even poultry, as long as they are living things, they will be attacked.

Once captured by the small anti-life tree, the vitality will be immediately drained and turned into a mummy, and transformed into an undead follower in a short time. The absorbed vitality will be immediately used to expand the underworld Kul.

Some people believe that this was a counterattack after they continuously invaded the Hades Kul, obtained the Mud of Life from the River of Chaos, and later made props to bury the Hades Kul.

As long as there is a little bit of the Underworld Kul left outside, even if the main body is completely buried, the black gold forest can continue to gain vitality through that bit and use it to expand the Underworld Kul.

If possible, players would like to shut down the teleportation tower so that they can solve the problem once and for all.

But after trying it, I found that it was a rather risky operation. Once the transmission tower was shut down, the area was isolated from other places, making it difficult to quickly provide support. Moreover, the Black Gold Forest evenly distributed the invading force. If one place was closed, it would be temporarily safe, but the difficulty of other places would suddenly increase.

All they could do was to build a flowing river defense line against the undead around the teleportation tower, that is, to dig a huge fish tank around the teleportation tower, turning the teleportation tower into an [isolated island]. This way, they could at least prevent the enemy's invasion from taking root in the first place.

The good news is that it is not difficult to obtain the Mud of Life in the River of Chaos. Although there is a character wearing a black robe and similar to an administrator, this character is like the old NPC in this game. He will be startled by the player's actions and freeze in place without taking any action.

This is quite fresh. After all, NPCs now have gained resistance to player behavior. Even if players do something very strange, they are quite calm and will even look at them with caring eyes.

Obviously their goal is to get scared, so this character is quite entertaining.

Considering that the level of training required to enter the Chaos River area is very high, if players have any funny ideas, they can leave a message in a special section. That entire section is used to tease the guardian of the Chaos River.

If the guardian of the River of Chaos is gone, the players will wait patiently until the guardian arrives in a hurry, and then they will start to continue in a swagger.

Ereshkigal finally opened her eyes.

On the first day of the large-scale invasion of foreigners, she saw a group of people wearing only loincloths and animal head coverings, and then people wearing doll suits, which were still only loincloths.

In addition, there are people walking backwards and upside down, running towards a wall, jumping up and rolling, and occasionally there are people who seem to be blocked by a transparent wall.

It was a scene that even the mistress of the Underworld Kuer found difficult to understand. When she finally got used to it, there would always be new things appearing, leaving her at a loss.

She had countless questions she wanted to ask, but she kept them to herself because she and the strangers were on hostile terms.

Sometimes she would sit aside because of brain overload and fatigue, and those strangers seemed to be performing specially for her.

Occasionally she would cover her mouth and laugh.

These confusions did not accumulate, but were answered after constantly seeing the strange behaviors of people from other places.

They did it not for any particular reason, they just wanted to do it.

This is really enviable.

Chapter 1456 Necessary Hatred

Sea of ​​golden apple trees.

The Hundred-Eyed Argus supported a giant sword as big as a mountain in both hands and stood in the sea of ​​golden apple trees like a mountain pointing to the sky, as if his eyes containing countless stars were watching the entire sea of ​​golden apple trees.

Any intruder will be seen before he steps in, and his loud voice like a bell will resound throughout the sea of ​​golden apple trees, informing everyone that the invader is about to arrive.

Even the invasion in batches was meaningless. What he saw was all the invasion points of the entire invasion, and his words correctly arranged the movements of everyone.

Of course, arranging defensive tactics was not within the scope of Argus's expertise. The arrangement was decided by Cyrene, who was sitting on his shoulder.

"Still attacking. How persistent." Kullene looked at the sea of ​​golden apple trees. Although he did not have a broad enough vision, his knowledge was sufficient, covering almost all fields.

"Do you hate that girl? Her attack contains all kinds of negative emotions, hatred, jealousy, curses, malice, etc."

"There is no reason to hate it." Hundred-eyed Argus was extremely calm. His eyes never shifted for a moment, always staring at the sea of ​​golden apple trees.

"That is necessary hatred, a reason to act like this."

"Necessary hatred. This is a rather novel term. It sounds like it is justifying the evil deeds in front of us. It also sounds quite twisted."

"Then should the mistress of the underworld Kuer be overjoyed and excited to reap lives as the god of death Scorpio?" Countless stars flashed through the eyes of the hundred-eyed Argus and his voice resounded through the sea of ​​golden apple trees.

The gray roots twisted with hatred attacked again. They twisted their bodies and continuously whipped the rock-hard bark of the golden apple tree.

"Is it more terrible to be a god of death who takes lives out of hatred, or to be a god of death who takes lives without any feeling, or even with joy and joking?"

"Which side is the most suitable destination for the dead, Lord of the Underworld Kul?"

"My friend, you are looking too far ahead." Cyrene chuckled, pushed herself up, and landed from the shoulder of the Hundred-Eyed Argus.

"Be careful not to miss it."

"You will certainly see that, my cunning friend."

……

Blaze put on his gear, his hands clenching as he adjusted to the arm armor that covered his shoulders and right hand.

[Anubis's right wrist armor]

[After removing the different colored totems, the incomplete yet pure Hui-shaped Nile totem equipment contains the deeds and power of the god Anubis, but this world does not allow it to awaken yet.]

He had never worn the equipment because it was incomplete and did not meet the conditions for use, but the stranger had a theory that if there was a prohibitive rule, there must be a way to circumvent it.

If the reason why this arm armor cannot be used is that [the world does not allow it to awaken], then just don't use it in the world.

The underworld of Kuer is a good place, outside this world and also the world after death.

Now that they had enough World Seeds made from the mud of life taken from the River of Chaos, they had to move on to the next step and meet Ereshkigal, the mistress of the Underworld Kul.

Even Blaze would be nervous facing an enemy with invincible power in the underworld of Kul. He had felt this kind of power in a similar being named Hela, so he made all the preparations he could at the end.

Ishtar floated to the side with her feet raised, watching Blaze prepare. She hooked her finger, and the Three Star Belt and the Star Hunter Bow floated towards Blaze.

"Don't forget to bring this."

Blaze took the Star Hunter Bow and the Three Star Belt and asked.

"how about you?"

Blaze's question made Ishtar stunned for a moment, and for the first time, she, who was always confident and proud, showed an uneasy expression.

"What about me?"

"You let me go, what about you?" Blaze didn't want to give Ishtar the chance to play dumb, he repeated every word and spoke carefully.

"Don't think you can use me as your pawn. I'm doing this for you, so why not you go?"

“So, this is your duty as the Night Watchman, isn’t it? Returning the twelve fallen great souls, and Scorpio the God of Death is also within your responsibility.” Ishtar’s eyes were wandering, and she slowly drifted backwards, as if she was planning to solve the problem by running away.

"You said it yourself, Golden Sea of ​​Trees is the fallen Death Scorpio, and the one who is awake now is the normal Death Scorpio. She just looks out of control now, but strictly speaking, she is still carrying out her mission, so this has nothing to do with the Night Watch."

"This is about Ereshkigal, the God of Death. Have you given up?"

"Has anyone ever told you that you speak in an annoying way?" Ishtar fell to the ground, her face darkened, and she stomped her feet heavily as she walked back to Blaze.

"Yes, they also warned me not to talk to Scorpio, the god of death, saying that nine out of ten gods of death are crazy, one is a crazy woman, and the other is a hapless person."

"The old guy you know is really prescient." Ishtar held her forehead and sighed hard, "After meeting you, I almost let out all the anger in my life. After all, what's the point of asking me [What about you?]?"

"I have no power left. None at all. I am just a soul. What's the point of going there? As a hostage? Besides, I still have to maintain my power and authority with Ereshkigal..."

"You talk a lot. Let me ask you, why do you think I can do it?" Blaze turned his head and asked seriously.

"It has nothing to do with whether I have returned the first seven constellations, but the experience. I am not yet an adult, and it is difficult to even say that my life has reached a high point, let alone say that my past life was a low point. Can I be considered to have completed the seven realms of life?"

"Will I be able to convince Ereshkigal, the Scorpion God of Death, when I face him like this?"

"This..." Ishtar hesitated. She looked into Blaze's eyes, which were as dazzling as the sun, fiery and full of energy.

Because of Blaze's power, she had somewhat forgotten that the person in front of her was just a young boy.

"And I think if I appear in front of her, she won't think of me as someone who embraces death. That's me in a long, long time, not me now."

“Generally speaking, when faced with the statement ‘Only you are qualified’, people will nod and agree without hesitation.” Ishtar sighed helplessly and put her hands on her hips.

"No, generally speaking, people should know what is important and what is not. Aren't you, who has truly embraced death, more suitable than a young man like me?"

Chapter 1457 The Invincible God of the Underworld

Faced with Blaze's semi-forced request, Ishtar had no choice but to agree. This was one of the rare compromises made by the Mistress of Heaven and the Mistress of Earth.

In any case, any chance of winning against Ereshkigal would be better. Even if Ishtar can't help, she can be used as a target of taunting to attract fire.

The longer we fight with the black gold forest, the more disadvantageous it will be. Now that we have stored enough [Seeds of the World], it is time to start the final battle.

This time, Blaze did not move with the strangers, but rode his chicken directly towards the underworld Kul.

Today, the underworld of Kul has expanded to the size of a large kingdom, with small anti-life trees and undead active everywhere, making it a world of death on the ground.

On one side is the vibrant land, and on the other side is the silent land of death. It looks weird yet harmonious.

What is weird is the intersection of life and death, and what is also harmonious is the intersection of life and death. Life and death should be like this, but such a simple and straightforward connection makes people feel uncomfortable.

Ishtar sat behind Blaze, and she saw the target before Blaze and the chicken.

"She's there."

Unexpectedly, Ereshkigal was walking on the surface of the underworld, Kul. She was wearing a black robe and holding a black spear, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

The chickens fell rapidly and landed at the place where the Underworld Kul intersected with the earth. As soon as they landed, Ereshkigal appeared at the border of the Underworld Kul in an instant.

Crossing space is just a trivial matter for the mistress of the underworld Kuer.

"Night Watchman, you are finally here."

Ereshkigal lifted her hood, revealing a face that was exactly the same as Ishtar's, with the same black hair, the same color, except that Ereshkigal's eyes were darker and her black hair didn't have curls at the ends.

Her gaze lingered on the Star Hunter Bow behind Blaze.

"I am performing my duties as the Scorpio the God of Death correctly, and it is not time for you to return it to me yet. Go back."

"No." Blaze answered Ereshkigal's question simply and directly. At the same time, after he actually met Ereshkigal, he also had questions to ask her.

“Why attack those three places?”

"Because I hate life and envy the love it receives..."

"That kind of person wouldn't enjoy watching strangers perform funny tricks."

"What! How did you know that?!" Ereshkigal was startled and subconsciously covered her mouth. Then she became angry and embarrassed.

"Are you going to use this to launch a psychological offensive against me? Persuade me, praise me, and then make me stop expanding Hades Kul."

"will not."

“No way!?” Ereshkigal lowered her head in disappointment.

"No need. I'm sure after seeing you." Blaze took off the Star Hunter bow from his back, drew the bowstring and aimed at Ereshkigal. "You are neither crazy nor insane, nor pitiful."

“That’s the look in your eyes that is determined to save the world.”

Ereshkigal paused, then slowly raised her head. The corners of her cold mouth curved slightly, but soon calmed down again.
