After quitting the team, the adventurers regretted it

...

A huge woman with long emerald green hair, holding the Holy Sword of Wood and carrying tremendous divine power, walked out of the Demon King's Castle.

There was dead silence on the battlefield.

Evelyn, Crescent Knight, Leah, and even the legend of the demon clan... Everyone was stunned.

The one who appeared before them was none other than the World Tree Goddess, Tricia.

Even though the demons worship the "Demon Tree Goddess", they know what the goddess of the secret continent looks like.

The opponent's goddess descended on our own Demon King's castle?

The demons were in confusion.

"Where is the Demon King? Was he killed by the World Tree Goddess?"

"Can someone tell me what happened!"

"No, that's not right. The hero drew his sword against the goddess?"

"Damn it, what the hell is going on!"

The demons were confused.

The adventurers were also at a loss.

Could it be that the truth about the Demon King is actually...
Every adventurer couldn't believe the facts before their eyes.

However, as they watched the brave man walking towards the World Tree Goddess, their hearts gradually sank to the bottom.

Leah gulped and said, "Linda, what do you mean?"

"Yes."

Staring at the tall green woman, Linda raised his magic sword and shouted:

“Everyone, you have seen the truth.

The World Tree Goddess is the real enemy.

It was she who planned the war between the two continents.

Only by defeating the World Tree can we usher in true peace!"

What, the goddess is the enemy?

There was a storm in everyone's heart.

Instead of attacking the goddess, it is better to self-destruct on the spot, die early and reincarnate early!
Evelyn flew to Linda's side and frowned, "What's going on? Why is the goddess here?"

Linda was about to speak.

"Ants. You're wasting my power."

A gloomy female voice sounded directly in the depths of everyone's heads.

Tricia glanced at the two legends on her right and swung the holy sword lightly.

Suddenly, the ground broke and the roots of the World Tree emerged.

puff!

The two legends were the captain of a legendary adventure team and the "Abyss Demon", one of the demon kings.

In front of Tricia's holy sword, their magic armor was like paper and could not provide any defense.

In the blink of an eye, the roots of the World Tree pierced his heart.

But not everyone has the "Law of Time" like Linda and has countless lives to spare.

The two legends opened their eyes wide in astonishment.

I never expected that I would be killed by the goddess Tricia.

The roots pierced their bodies and sucked like blood suckers.

In just a few seconds, it turned into a weathered mummy.

Tricia's aura seemed even more terrifying.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

The behavior of this goddess is more devilish than the devil!
The two legends who were killed were from the adventurer and the demon clan respectively.

Could it be true as Linda said?

Their biggest enemy is the World Tree Goddess! ?

Everyone looked at Tricia fearfully.

A feeling of powerlessness grew in my heart.

They are all top figures in their respective continents.

However, there is an unbridgeable gap between the legendary level and the gods.

"Brave man, I'll give you one last chance."

Tricia said coldly: "Don't resist, sacrifice your soul, then I can let everyone here go."

For a moment, everyone had different thoughts and looked at Linda with strange eyes.

Sacrifice the brave, and you can save everyone.
Even primary school students can figure out the answer to this question.

Especially the demons, who do not hide their murderous intent.

Leah was anxious and shouted to everyone, "What are you thinking? Who can guarantee that the goddess won't lie? We just saw that two legends were sucked to death by her! Maybe we will be the next one!"

Ico also said: "The goddess wants to kill Linda so much, doesn't it prove that Linda is the only threat to her? Whether it's the demons or the adventurers, they should do their best to protect Linda!"

Those who can be promoted to the legendary level will not have a low IQ.

If you use your brain a little, you can figure out the twists and turns.

The World Tree Goddess is a deity, so even if she breaks her promise, no one can punish her.

If Linda is the last hope, they will hand Linda over, and then they will be truly at the end of the road.

However, how to defeat a god-level being?

Although the hero is strong, he is only a level 99 legend.

Only 1 level away from the god level.

But the gap between this level 1 is even bigger than the gap between level 1 and level 99.

"Thanks to your persuasion to surrender, I understand one thing."

Linda smiled faintly and said, “Your holy sword cannot be activated again in a short period of time.

Otherwise, why are you still talking nonsense to me?
The initial persuasion to surrender was
All this is because he doesn't want to waste the power in the holy sword.

It is not easy to erase the past, future, and present of a thing, even if you are a god."

As long as the Holy Sword cannot be activated in the future, Linda cannot defeat Tricia, and Tricia will not be able to kill him completely.

Tricia looked gloomy and shouted, "Brave man, stop struggling. Your failure is already written in your fate."

"Fate? Humph, fate exists to be broken!"

Linda looked at Kafni and said, "My Lady Goddess, it's your turn to appear on stage!"

"Ah I?"

Kafni was hiding in the shadows and was startled when Linda called her name.

She pointed at her nose and said in panic, "I'm only a level 99 legend, I can't defeat the World Tree."

"I'm not asking you to play in person."

Linda shook her head and said, “When I was in that clock space, I kept thinking about how I could defeat Tricia if I was lucky enough to come back.

Now, I understand.

The only way to slay a god is to become a new god.

I have obtained the divinity of the Time Dragon.

But the godhead was shattered and the divine power was lost.

I need you to help me rekindle the divine fire and condense my godhood."

Kafni's face was full of black lines: "You are talking lightly. Even if I lend you my little divine power, there is still a big gap."

Hearing Linda's plan, Tricia sneered, glanced at the timid Kafni, and said contemptuously: "This kind of stuff is worthy of being called a goddess? It's just an ant."

Everyone present was confused.

The dragon of time? Godhead? What on earth is the hero talking about?
The history of that ancient period never appeared in the book. It was only after Linda traveled from the outside world that he learned about the Time Dragon and the Holy Land.

Linda did not deny Tricia's statement, "It is true that my family's gods are a little weak. But, I am the one fighting with you, and Kafni only needs to stand behind and assist."

Kafni scratched his head: "So what should I do?"

"Use your power to activate [Declare]. I want every life on the continent to hear my voice."

If the great sage can do it, Kafni, a level 99 legend, can definitely do it as well.

It's time to use her precious divine power.

"This"

Kafni hesitated.

She planned to use the last bit of her divine strength to escape.

Even if the World Tree Goddess attacks, she is confident that she can take Linda away.

Go to a safe place and make plans.

This is much safer than using it to cast the magic [Declare].

The only drawback is that I feel sorry for my fellow adventurers.

boom!
While thinking, Tricia swung out a sword light and slashed towards Linda.

Under the powerful god-level magic, Linda flew backwards like a cannonball, plowing a terrifying gully on the ground.

"Come on, you don't even listen to your 'master'!"

Linda yelled.

"Master, Master, Master, Master? Don't let me, you stinky hero, get carried away. I'm here to supervise your work, not to be your slave!"

Kafni was furious and grabbed her hair. Seeing that Linda was wiped out by Tricia dozens of times, she cursed:

"Damn it, never mind. If I fail, you, the brave man, will be responsible!" Kafni clenched his teeth and placed his fingers on his forehead.

boom!
A pale golden diamond-shaped divine power appeared between the eyebrows.

The sudden rise of a terrifying aura made everyone stunned.

What's up with that blonde woman?

Another god???
Leah: "You, you are a lazy loser, aren't you?"

In the Luanweihua Adventure Team, the person Leah looked down upon the most was Kafni, and she felt that this person had no future.

However, at this moment, Kafni was floating in the sky, full of a sacred and inviolable temperament.

Beautiful, majestic, with long flowing hair...

Goddess!

These four words popped up in everyone's mind at the same time.

"Linda, I am betting my hopes on you!"

Kafni took a deep breath and pointed his right hand to the sky.

whoosh-

The dazzling golden light turned into meteors and shot across the continent.

Crossing the barrier between two continents.

Arrived in the royal capital.

Came to Cangqing City.

Arrived in Xuanfeng City.

White Pigeon City.
A huge curtain of light was projected above the sky.

The scene on the light screen was Linda fighting with the World Tree Goddess!
Compared to the Great Sage's [Announcement] which can only convey the princess' voice, the [Announcement] activated by Kafni's divine power can also be conveyed through the picture!

Kafni cleared his throat and said, "You scum from the Secret Realm and the Demon Realm. Ahem, my people, listen to me.

I am Kafni, the spirit.

A messenger sent from the divine realm to save you.

Now, my hero is in a tough battle and needs your help!"

Time is tight.

Kafni quickly told the truth of the matter.

The common enemy of adventurers and demons is Tricia, the goddess of the world tree.

"I admit that what the goddess Kafni said is true."

A demon with twin horns and short grey hair walked up to the light curtain and spoke in a deep voice.

This is "Gray Rock", the deputy commander of the demon clan whose status is second only to Tina.

Other demon legends also stood up to endorse Kafni.

——If we don’t defeat the World Tree Goddess here, I’m afraid everyone will be sucked into a mummy by the World Tree.

With the guarantee of Gray Rock and a group of legends, Kafni immediately gained the trust of many residents of the Demon Continent.

On the adventurer's side, Evelyn, Leah, and Lulu, the strongest legend in the Far North Plains, all support Linda.

The two continents fell into an eerie silence.

The biggest villain is the World Tree Goddess?
Kafni handed over the control of [Declaration] to Linda.

While Linda was fighting with Tricia, she explained the whole story.

Tricia didn't stop him, her eyes filled with mockery.

For a god-level being, only a magic circle is needed to rewrite the memory of an ordinary person.

Although setting up the magic circle is a bit troublesome, it is only a matter of time.

In Tricia's eyes, everything the hero did was an ugly struggle.

Just like a maggot rolling desperately on the ground, it cannot escape the fate of being crushed to death.

……

Linda told the people of the two continents the truth about the destruction of the world.

Tricia's purpose.

Deliberately created racial conflicts.

All adventurers and demons who died in the war became nutrients for the World Tree.

"But today, I will end the rule of the World Tree."

Linda said.

"My lord, what do you want us to do?"

The citizens who were watching the light curtain began to feel confused.

Most of them are adventurers below level 20 with limited abilities.

How can we help the brave?
"What you have to do is very simple."

Linda said firmly: "I need you to trust me, believe in me, pray to me, and devote the strength in your hearts!"

When he felt Leah's call and returned to this world from the clock space, the experience value panel on his personal panel changed.

Below the 0/0 that could not be advanced any further, a white strip emitting holy light appeared.

The power of faith: 1/1000 billion!
Reaching the divine level through the power of faith is the most ancient path.

As long as he has 1000 billion powers of faith, he will be able to repair the broken divinity of the Time Dragon!
Tricia sneered, "You ignorant fool, you want to rely on the power of faith to ignite the divine fire? If it were that easy, every brave warrior would have become a new god long ago."

The population of the Secret Continent has dropped by 70% because of the war. Unless all the remaining people abandon their faith in the World Tree and unconditionally trust Linda, there is only a glimmer of hope.

"Die."

Tricia held her left hand loosely.

Several thick roots of the World Tree emerged from the ground and surrounded Linda.

The rhizome shrank rapidly, and a creepy sound of a human body being crushed into a pulp came from inside, and blood gushed out from the cracks.

"Brave man, I cannot kill you, but I can torture you cruelly until you give up on your own initiative."

Every time Linda was reborn in the cage formed by the roots of the World Tree, she would crush Linda into meat paste again.

This kind of inhuman pain can torture an adventurer to collapse in just a few minutes.

Although victory was still in her hands, Tricia felt a little regretful.

She shouldn't have chosen Linda and become a hero.

It is true that Linda helped her bring out the godhood of the Time Dragon and was the most capable of all the heroes of all time. But she did not expect that killing Linda would be so troublesome.

No hero before him had ever been able to bring the truth out of the Demon King's Castle.

Tricia had long forgotten what it felt like to be angry.

Seeing Linda dying hundreds of times but still refusing to surrender, her face became ferocious, her palms clenched, and the roots of the World Tree changed into spears, saw teeth, and tentacles, destroying Linda's body.

She will pierce the hero's eyes with her spear, scrape off his flesh with her saw teeth, and fill his body with her tentacles.
Use the most vicious methods to cruelly kill the brave again and again.

If you don't want to experience this despair, then give up the law of time and sleep in darkness.

Tricia's smile became more twisted.

at this time.

A point of light flew from nowhere and drilled into the cage formed by the World Tree.

what?
Tricia was stunned for a moment.

Look around.

More and more points of light came from all directions.

Forming an endless golden cloud!

How can there be so much power of faith?
Tricia's heart seemed to be held up by a string, and she nervously extended her divine power to sense every corner of the continent.

What she "saw" surprised her.

"The hero is Linda? The Linda who made the strategy video for free and helped the lower-level adventurers climb the World Tree?"

The adventurers looked at the light curtain in doubt and surprise.

As early as the Ice Abyss period, the strategy videos produced by Linda were widely circulated, leaving Baige City and becoming popular in various provinces.

Detailed monster explanations and fool-proof team strategies can be purchased at a low price without having to pay any "knowledge fees".

Even a novice adventurer can reach the 20th floor safely by strictly following Linda's strategy.

You know, more than 20% of the adventurers on the continent are below the th floor of the World Tree.

He entered the Ice Abyss for closed-door training, and then went out to sea to search for the mysterious island. Even Linda himself didn't know how famous his name was among the lower-level adventurers.

The seeds that were planted unintentionally in the early years have borne fruit today.

In addition, Evelyn, a top legend who is well-known throughout the continent, supports him.
Kafni used his divine power to communicate with the third surviving princess of the royal family, a frail beauty with long platinum hair, to support Linda.

The Elf Queen spared no effort in launching into a speech.

I hope all the elves will contribute their strength to the brave.

Not just the secret continent.

There were also some residents in the Demon Continent who were outraged after learning the truth.

It turns out that everyone is a pawn of the World Tree Goddess.

Regardless of whether they win or lose the war with adventurers, they will be imprisoned in the barren land of the Demon Continent.

Linda also told them that it was very likely that the Demon Continent was as suitable for living as the Secret Continent. But for her own selfish desires, Tricia set up black clouds with purple thunder and turned the earth into scorched earth.

The purpose is to force the demons to go to war with the adventurers.

How can people not hate such a goddess?

"Asshole, I hate heroes the most, but this time, I support you! Come on, hero, kill the World Tree Goddess!"

"Come on, brave man!"

"It was the Brave Master's strategy that allowed me to live in a mansion and marry a young woman. Brave Master Linda, please accept my gratitude!"

In cities all over the world, adventurers and demons alike crossed their arms in front of their chests in a gesture of prayer.

The wishes in their hearts turned into tiny points of light and flew towards the Demonic Continent.

The number of these light spots is so large that they form a sea of ​​clouds.

Light up the dark earth. (End of this chapter)
