Zi-O is weak? I used the power of Oma to kill people like crazy

Chapter 109: Crossing the Underworld Forest of Helm
Lin Xiaoxiao thought carefully about their experience in the illusion. It was indeed as Jiang Che said, that ring battle had many similarities with the big fight they had experienced before. The same competition, the same intensity, and even the power that drove them to fight continuously was exactly the same.

"It does feel that way," Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, "but what should we do now? Kamen Rider GHost seems to have escaped."

"Who is that mysterious man?" Li Lun interrupted, "When he appeared, Kamen Rider GHost was scared and ran away. Is he more powerful than Kamen Rider GHost?"

Jiang Che shook his head: "I'm not sure, but this person is definitely not simple. Maybe we should go find him and learn more about Heim's Underworld Forest and Kamen Rider GHost."

After discussion, the three decided to head in the direction where the mysterious man disappeared to see if they could find him and seek help.

They passed through the forest, climbed over the hills, and finally came to an open meadow. In the middle of the meadow, a mysterious man in a white robe was standing there quietly, with his back to them.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Jiang Che walked forward and asked respectfully.

The mysterious man slowly turned around, revealing a young and handsome face. There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, as if he could see through everything.

"I am the guardian of this Helm's Underworld Forest," the mysterious man said with a smile, "You can call me Bai Ze."

"Bai Ze?" Lin Xiaoxiao said in surprise, "I have seen this name in ancient books. It is said that you are an ancient mythical beast who can speak human language and know everything in the world."

"That's just a legend," Bai Ze said modestly, "However, I do know something about Helm's Underworld Forest and Kamen Rider GHost. Is this what you came here to learn about?"

"We already knew something about Helheim's Underworld Forest." Jiang Che looked at Bai Ze and said, "Helheim's Underworld Forest is a different world where weirdos and aliens live. This forest is full of plants with strange shapes or colors."

"It seems that you did a lot of homework before coming here." Bai Ze smiled slightly, "But did you know that the plants in the Helm's Underworld Forest grow lock seeds, which are padlock-shaped props that can be used for Kamen Rider's transformation and change of form. In the "Alien Game", the lock seeds are also used to summon aliens and command them to act."

"The lock seed can open the passage connecting the Heim Underworld Forest and the real world. This passage is called "Crack". It is a space crack that appears irregularly in various places in Zeya City, but it will disappear on its own and reappear somewhere else."

"The Helm Forest will constantly search for civilizations in the universe and even other worlds, devour and assimilate them, and eventually give birth to golden fruits. This fruit gives the strongest in a civilization the opportunity to decide whether it will survive. In essence, it can be seen as a special means of selecting civilizations for the birth of the universe in the Gaim worldview."

"You mean... the Kamen Rider GHost we met in the forest was actually transformed from a seed in the underworld forest of Heim?" Jiang Che frowned and looked at Bai Ze in disbelief.

Bai Ze smiled and nodded, saying, "In the underworld forest of Helm, you can't think in the same way as you do in the real world. Here, it's not so easy to judge what's true and what's false, what's real and what's fake."

"For example, I am not a good person in front of you. Maybe, I am just like the Kamen Rider GHost who attacked you. Why do you trust me so much?"

"This..." Jiang Che, Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Lun fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

When the three of them came to the Underworld Forest of Heim as a team, their purpose was to get out safely and win glory for Zhoutian College in front of universities across the country.

But now, they have been trapped in the underworld forest of Helheim for so long, and they don’t know how much time has passed in the real world.

If it were in the real world, this game would have ended long ago. Then what's the point for the three of them to stay in the Helm's underworld forest?
But Jiang Che soon thought of another aspect. He looked up at Bai Ze and said coldly, "You are deliberately leading us! You have bad intentions!"

"Young man, don't wrongly accuse a good person!" Bai Ze said coldly, "I advised you with good intentions, but you said I misled you. Are you trying to bully an old man like me?"

Bai Ze's words left Jiang Che and the other two speechless for a moment. They really couldn't judge Bai Ze's true intentions. But in this dangerous Helm Forest, they couldn't trust anyone easily.

"How can we trust you?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked cautiously.

Bai Ze smiled slightly and said, "I can give you a test. If you can pass it, I will tell you how to leave the Helm's Underworld Forest."

"What trial?" Jiang Che asked.

"Deep in this forest, there is a magical plant called the 'Tree of Heart'. It has the ability to perceive people's hearts, and only those with pure hearts and strong wills can approach it. You need to find it and prove your courage and determination in front of it." Bai Ze explained.

Jiang Che and the other two looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They knew that this was their only chance to leave the Helm Forest, and no matter how difficult the trial was, they had to give it a try.

"Okay, let's accept the trial." Jiang Che said in a deep voice.

Bai Ze nodded and said, "Then I wish you good luck. Remember, the Soul Tree will only appear before the eyes of pure people. You must remain calm and firm in your heart."

After saying that, Bai Ze turned and left, disappearing into the depths of the forest.

Jiang Che and the other two took a deep breath, sorted out their equipment, and set out on their journey to find the Tree of Soul. They knew that this was a road full of unknowns and dangers, but they were ready.

They passed through the dense forest, crossed the stream, and continued to move deeper into the forest.

However, after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find the magical plant that Bai Ze mentioned, the Tree of Soul.

"Jiang Che, what do you think we should do next?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Che and asked.

Jiang Che's eyes were determined. He looked up into the distance. The deep forest seemed like an endless maze, but they could not give up.

"Since we have decided to accept the trial, we must persevere to the end." Jiang Che said in a deep voice, "The Tree of the Soul will not appear so easily. We need to feel it with our heart and summon it with our will."

Li Lun nodded in agreement: "That's right. We have come a long way and experienced so many difficulties. It would be a pity to give up now."
