Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 729 A Saiyan Tail That Grew Eighteen Centimeters
Thanos is enjoying his meal here.

On the other hand, things are really bad for Apocalypse.
Within the "Heavenly Mind Space" opened by Stephen Fang, the suffocating supergravity acted like an invisible giant hand, pressing Apocalypse, his knights, and the remaining heroes firmly to the ground.

On this strange, dark land, only the towering Stephen Fang statue in the center exudes an aura of dominance over all things.

Suddenly, another anomaly occurred!
Countless huge and thick trees, like ancient beasts awakening from their slumber, burst forth wildly from the strangely textured ground!

Their roots are as tough as dragons, winding around the texture of ancient rocks, their branches twisting and turning, instantly blotting out the sky.

The forest spread and expanded at an alarming rate, and in the blink of an eye, it completely engulfed and imprisoned everyone centered around Apocalypse in this abrupt and eerie dense forest!

"Hmm?!" Apocalypse's massive body trembled slightly.

The destructive power flowing beneath that deep purple skin could be felt to be slowly but clearly dissipating in this forest with its drastically different rules!
It's as if it's being quietly drawn in by billions of invisible roots.

This feeling was extremely faint, far from enough to shake his very core, yet it was like a leech clinging to his bone, bringing unprecedented blasphemy and discomfort.

For the first time, a hint of impatience and anger, like being bitten by an ant, flashed in his eyes, which were usually as deep as an abyss.

"Filthy creation!" Apocalypse's deep, hoarse voice, like a bone-chilling wind from a graveyard, echoed through the silent forest, filled with offended rage. "Black Knight! Clear away these...unsightly branches!"

The corrupted Wanda, suspended in mid-air with black mist churning around her, moved at the command. Her scarlet pupils shone brightly, and chaotic magic rapidly gathered and compressed between her palms, transforming into a huge dark red energy ball that throbbed like a bleeding heart and emitted destructive waves!
"boom!!!"

The energy ball, like a ferocious beast breaking free of its restraints, slammed into the densest cluster of towering ancient trees surrounding them!
The blinding red light exploded instantly, and violent chaotic energy raged outwards!
The giant tree that was hit was like a fragile piece of paper, instantly torn apart and charred in the devastating shockwave!
A huge, charred void has formed in the dense forest, revealing a distorted spatial background.

However, just as the smoke from the explosion had barely cleared, and a hint of smugness flashed across Apocalypse's eyes—

"Swish"

Stephen Fang appeared silently at the edge of the scorched earth, a bulging bag in his hand.

"Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility!" He casually grabbed a handful of white powder that shimmered with a strange fluorescence from the bag and threw it out!
"Try this!"

"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"

He suddenly threw the bone powder in his hand forward!
At the same time, it opened its mouth and spewed out a powerful whirlwind!

call--!
A fierce wind, carrying bone dust like a white sandstorm, precisely covered the scorched earth area just blasted by the Black Knight and the trees still struggling at the edges!
The miracle happened!
The moment the powder hit the ground, it seemed to trigger some kind of spacetime acceleration rule!

The scorched earth seemed to be infused with a surging torrent of life!

Those remaining tree stumps sprouted new buds at a visible speed, and countless tender green seedlings rushed out of the scorched soil, growing tall in the wind.

The trees, which had just been ravaged by the explosion and had their branches and leaves scorched, instantly sprouted tender green new branches from their bare branches, and the broken parts healed and extended wildly! In the blink of an eye, a forest even denser and thicker than before filled the charred crater again, even enveloping Apocalypse and the two knights more tightly, as if the earth-shattering explosion had never happened!

"Hiss—!" For the first time, Apocalypse let out a gasp filled with shock and anger, as the discomfort caused by the slow loss of power seemed to intensify.

This near-rule-level regeneration ability exceeded his understanding of "plants"!

"Use it sparingly!" A voice suddenly rang in Stephen Fang's mind. MC Fang Yu, looking heartbroken, pointed at the bag in Stephen Fang's hand: "Use it sparingly! Bone meal is very precious!"

Stephen Fang, however, nonchalantly patted the remaining powder off his hands. "Later, you can build an automatic mob farm. You'll have as many bones as you want. Bone meal? That stuff will be like clods of dirt in our garden. There'll be plenty! You can spread it however you want!"

"Alright, alright, I'll stop here for now. I'm going to chop some wood."

Seeing Stephen Fang talking to himself so casually and comfortably at this moment, the heroes felt a strong, indescribable feeling.
Could it be that this guy has become so powerful that he can ignore his enemies?

Especially since the opponent is Apocalypse?

Apocalypse only had a brief encounter with Stephen Fang before being so astonished by Fang's incredible abilities that he wondered if he had gone insane.

He took a step forward, grabbed at the air, and suddenly, an energy ball no less powerful than the one that had just been thrown by Wanda appeared in his palm!
A hint of compromise appeared on Apocalypse's holy face, and he then spoke to Stephen Fang.

"You are the most talented mutant I have ever seen. Be my knight, and I can grant you unparalleled power!"

Apocalypse's words made many superheroes nervous!
Because in their view, Stephen Fang was not a "good person" at all; he couldn't even be called a hero, and he was untrustworthy in the eyes of many heroes.

Faced with Apocalypse's offer of an olive branch, the heroes swallowed hard; they panicked.
After Stephen Fang reached the Six Paths level, his Mind Network ability was further enhanced, and his control over human nature greatly increased. Although these superheroes did not speak, he vaguely guessed what was going on, so he nodded in a teasing manner.

"That's wonderful! This is what I've been waiting for! Guards! Give the 107 heroes of Liangshan poisoned wine!"

Although no one understood what Stephen Fang was implying, they knew he seemed genuinely planning to join Apocalypse. Black Panther was the first to curse, "Damn it! I knew this guy wasn't trustworthy!"

"Hehehehe." Apocalypse laughed when it saw that it had reversed the situation with just one sentence. It looked at Stephen Fang, "Very good, I will bestow upon you the title of Grey Knight!"

"okay!"

As Stephen Fang spoke, he began to gaze longingly at Apocalypse.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The people around them were embarrassed.

Even Apocalypse himself was a little embarrassed. "You! Why have you been staring at me?"

Stephen Fang frowned. "Grant me supreme power! I'm waiting!"

"Uh, this..." Tianqi hesitated, clearly because he had witnessed Stephen Fang's mental power and believed that he could not control him, so he dared not rashly enhance Stephen Fang.

"Tch, all that dawdling and hesitation? Fine, I'm not joining you then! Brothers! Let's throw the poisoned wine first! We'll start our own little world! Let's fight them to the death!"

"Wait!" Apocalypse suddenly opened his palm. "I need you to swear! With your integrity! Swear to God!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Stephen Fang shouted, "I swear on my honor to God! If I betray you, Apocalypse, may I be struck by lightning! May I go to hell, and may I sit at the same table as Satan!"

Upon hearing this, Apocalypse nearly lost control of its emotions. It waved at Stephen Fang, and in an instant, Stephen Fang felt a surge of intense energy rush into his body! Then...
His Saiyan tail was more than ten centimeters long!
