Infinite Anime Transformed into Sky Striker

However, before gathering everyone in this last city of the apocalypse, Lingyi created another spectacle.

This time, she spent nearly two days just tinkering with the wonder—

"Are you really not the evil god who ran away from somewhere?"

When Patchouli woke up in the morning, she saw Lingyi busying around, and her expression almost turned into that of an old man on the subway.

"Why can you come up with something like this?"

Hmm? Tell me? I asked.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Lingyi controlled Hamp, hung a row of tied-up corpses on the branches, and then jumped down.

"By the way, good morning, Patch~"

"Not good at all. How could you come up with this..."

Patchouli pointed her white and tender finger at the wonder not far away and was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, the wise witch finally managed to come up with an adjective: "Such... abominable thing."

"Hmm...rich imagination and creativity, right?"

Ling Yi also looked at the spectacle, thought for a moment, and then made a proud declaration.

"I learned all this online. It was taught to me by a kind netizen~"

In the wilderness outside the city, a terrifying giant tree pierces the sky, emitting a suffocating stench of decay and death.

It was not a creation of nature, but a terrifying, indescribable existence made up of countless twisted human bodies, flesh, blood, and bones—a tree of flesh and blood hundreds of meters tall.

103. The giant tree that desecrates life, accepts the crow!

That gigantic and blasphemous tree of flesh and blood—its trunk was as thick as a mountain, formed by the squeezing and fusion of countless corpses. Broken limbs and hideous faces were twisted into strange textures by the adhesion of flesh and blood.

Pale white bones and dark red tendons intertwined, wrapping around the trunk like bark, faintly revealing a creepy pulse, as if the whole tree was breathing.

Countless faces were embedded in the surface of the tree trunk, their empty eye sockets and open mouths silently telling of pain, as if their imprisoned souls were still struggling.

The branches extend from the main trunk in all directions, twisted and dense, like a giant withered claw reaching towards the sky, and this giant claw is composed of countless smaller withered claws.

Every branch was hung with corpses, so densely packed that they swayed in the wind like rotten fruits.

Some of them were entangled in flesh and blood vines, some were pierced by bone spurs, their limbs were twisted at unnatural angles, blood dripped from the broken ends, and gathered into dark red streams on the ground.

Looking up, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of corpses obscured the sky, the sunlight was completely swallowed up, and only a gloomy shadow covered the earth.

When the wind blows, the leaves rub against each other, making a creepy sound. At the same time, thousands of crows circle and roost around the giant tree, as if singing a dirge for this terrifying giant tree.

It is hard to imagine that this is a man-made wonder. Its existence itself is a blasphemy against life. It is the most terrifying totem in the end times. It has been quietly watching this abandoned world since its creation.

"..."

Who knows what it feels like to wake up early in the morning and see something like this.

“Are the people you know online really serious people?”

"I don't know about that. After all, it's over the Internet, but I think they are serious."

“…” You think so?

Patchouli no longer wanted to complain about this guy with a unique imagination.

"So, why did you bring this thing out? Doesn't the Corpse Tower satisfy your curiosity anymore?"

"..."

Lingyi's cheeks immediately puffed up.

She reached out and rubbed Patchouli's cheek.

"Even if it was Patchy, I'd be angry if they slandered me like that. Who has such a curious mind? I'm a girl who likes sugar and spices."

"......"

Patchouli frowned, staring at Lingyi for being so rude and disrespectful towards her face.

"It's just that this world is quite special. I feel like the previous Corpse Tower might not be a sufficient deterrent. After all, the people in this world have all experienced the baptism of the apocalypse, and the seeds of madness have been planted in their hearts to a certain extent."

"Although this thing looks a bit scary, it's better than people committing crimes out of lack of fear, right?"

"..."

Patchouli did not respond, but just looked at Lingyi calmly.

"Patch?"

"How long will you continue to rub it?"

"Hehe, it feels great, I'm a little reluctant to let it go."

"..."

After Ling Yi was released, Patchouli rubbed her cheeks slightly dissatisfied.

"You're such a clueless guy... But this thing will soon collapse from rotting, right? Or have you solved this problem?"

Unlike the Corpse Tower, this giant tree has too many weak points, and her magic alone will not be effective.

"Yes, that's it!"

Lingyi suddenly clapped her hands in surprise. Patchouli had hit the point.

She took a few steps back to create some distance, then put on yellow armor and assumed a fighting stance.

"Earth Blade Kuinai, I originally thought this thing was useless, but now I realize it's actually quite useful!"

The Kuinai Armor is good at fighting and engineering work, commonly known as the construction site plastering.

Lingyi prefers using Flash Strikers to fighting, and she doesn't need to go to construction sites to do plastering, such as post-disaster reconstruction work. Magic is more useful for such things.

But now, Lingyi found that he was wrong.

Who said she didn't need to do the plastering? Isn't building wonders and corpse towers just plastering and engineering work?

“Buildings constructed by Quesnay are endowed with a series of conceptual effects, such as solidity, corrosion resistance, insect resistance, moisture resistance, and so on.”

"Although this giant tree is made of flesh and blood, it can still trigger this effect. Although the effect is relatively weak, coupled with Patchouli's magic, I predict that this wonder can stand for at least a few years. Ten years should not be a problem, as long as there is no deliberate human damage."

"And it's not just the effect of Quenai. If it's blessed by the power of faith, this tree can exist even longer!"

"Congratulations then."

Perhaps only Lingyi would be happy about her new discovery. Patchouli didn't feel anything at all.

"So, I plan to place my little statue under this tree. Hmm... maybe it would be better if it were embedded in the tree. Then the statue will absorb the power of faith while infecting the tree with the power of faith."

"No.....that would really create an evil god, wouldn't it?"

Patchouli felt a little ashamed.

You really don't mind embedding your own statue on something like this.

"Can't you?"

"...It's not impossible, but you have to keep an eye on it. If the tree is truly influenced by the power of faith emanating from the statue, gaining unusual powers or even developing intelligence—normally, it knows who its master is, so it will stay quiet and avoid causing trouble."

"But that's normal. Anything born from this tree...it could be quite evil. If we're not careful, it could grow crooked."

"OK......"

Lingyi nodded thoughtfully.

"Oh, and these crows, I plan to let them roost on this tree. This will not only protect the tree from being intentionally destroyed by others, but also serve as a greater deterrent."

A tree like this wouldn't be strange without a flock of strange birds around it, wouldn't it? It's like something's missing.

As for these crows, Lingyi has confirmed again and again in these days that they do have considerable intelligence, and most importantly, they are very obedient.

Its attitude towards me is probably a mixture of fear and intimacy like an owner.

Even if you want to kill them, they won't breathe on you.

Really well behaved.

This really made Lingyi think about raising a pet.

"Then let these crows bathe in the power of faith... I'm looking forward to seeing what changes will occur to them."

"Are you sure it's okay with you?"

Patchouli couldn't help but sigh when she saw Lingyi's excited look.

"There are mountains of corpses and flocks of crows. Don't you realize you're drifting further and further down the path of an evil god? At least in the eyes of others, seeing you like this, they'll definitely mistake you for an evil god."

"emmm...."

Lingyi suddenly fell silent.

"Oh yeah.....that's really a problem."

104. You still say you are not an evil god!

Lingyi feels that power itself has no attributes, and whether it is evil depends on the person who uses it.

She clearly didn't do anything to destroy the world, but she doesn't agree that just because of the power she used or the scary look she displayed, she is the evil god who destroyed the world.

Of course, if the power itself has some special properties, such as being able to bewitch people and causing the user to be inevitably distorted, that is another matter.

Don’t worry about whether the power I use is black or white, a mountain of corpses or a garden of flowers, I am indeed punishing evil and promoting good.

But the opinions of others must also be taken into consideration to some extent.

She originally came to save the world, but the other side was frightened by the power she displayed, which led to misunderstandings between the two sides - Lingyi didn't like this kind of thing.

She has never been an unkind person, nor is she someone who is out of touch with the world. She can understand all kinds of emotions and thoughts in people's hearts.

For example, she could understand that in the end times, some people were not bad people by nature, but were forced to become bad people by the environment.

For example, a group of people, out of excessive fear, tortured and killed an innocent little girl, releasing the virus in the little girl's body, which led to the extinction of all mankind.

Lingyi could also understand the fear in these people's hearts. It was fear and hatred that made them lose their minds.

Although she understood it, she would never hesitate to take action.

They will even be severely burned with karmic fire, and when more advanced torture methods are available in the future, they will definitely be used. The pain they inflict on others will definitely be returned to them double.

No matter what the reason is, it is not okay to release malice towards innocent people. After all, innocent people have done nothing wrong, so why should they pay for these people?

If we understand the perpetrators, who will understand the victims?

From the three levels of intention, behavior, and consequences, these people will almost all be judged as evil.

In short, she could understand that people would misunderstand things based on superficial appearances.

If possible, she also hopes to avoid such misunderstandings.

"What should I do, Patchy?"

Lingyi instantly removed Kuinai's clothes and pounced on Patchouli.

This action has nothing to do with swiftness, so even Patchouli, who has extremely poor physical fitness, can easily dodge it.

But she didn't hide.

Instead, he was hugged by Lingyi with a look of disgust. Maybe... he was used to it?

"Patch! Use your almighty magic and wisdom to help me!"

"I'm not omnipotent, idiot—and, are you getting more and more skilled at carrying me?"

"Don't worry about these details. Help me think of a solution. I don't want to delay the rescue because of a misunderstanding. If the situation is still quite urgent, then I..."

Lingyi's voice dropped.

"Then I will have to take action against those innocent people who try to stop me due to misunderstandings."

After all, preventing her from saving others would make them accomplices of evil. No matter what the reason, by stopping herself, they were actually causing more people who were still suffering to continue suffering.

"So, my magic isn't omnipotent. In front of ordinary people, I can use it to disguise you, but against powerful beings, my magic may not be effective. The person who tied the bell must untie it."

"Does that mean... I have to figure it out on my own?"
