They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 181 Flower Ska, Fire Ska, Little Flower Fire!
In Kainas's view, Danlei's request was no different from asking him to give up his power and return to the Elven Corridor to sleep for countless years.

The essence is the guarantee of the manifestation of the divine species.

Stripping away the essence is the same as making the star god give up his destiny; it's no different from death.

Therefore, Kainas didn't waste any more words. As the divine species that created the forest elves, she could use 168 spells, and as the embodiment of the planet [Nature], everything in nature was under her control.

Suddenly, over a hundred magic circles appeared above Dan Lei's head and instantly formed a magic array, from which a seven-colored beam of light containing terrifying power shot straight toward Dan Lei.

At the same time, the lawn created by Kainas instantly turned into a vine trap, and the entire ground was as if it had been occupied by a tentacle monster, with countless plant "tentacles" surging towards Danlei.

Despite being attacked from both above and below, Dan Lei remained completely calm.

Even before Kainas arrived, Danlei had already had Draig double his magical power.

As soon as Kainas's magical array was completed, Danlei instantly donned the armor of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, using its all-consuming flames in conjunction with its power to destroy destiny, and unleashed a dragon flame ray into the air.

Danlei's dragon fire ray and Kainas's magic beam collided at low altitude.

The two forces clashed evenly and exploded simultaneously, with countless small fireballs accompanied by intense heat and tiny beams of light raining down on the battlefield.

The vines that were besieging Dan Lei were instantly turned into charcoal by the intense heat generated by the two forces, and then blasted into dust by the indiscriminate rain of fire.

The field instantly transformed from a grassy area into a lava field.

This exchange of blows made Kainas realize that Dan Lei was not someone to be trifled with.

At the same time, she now believed that she had truly been betrayed by the race she had created, and that the strength of this dragon spirit was no less than that of a god.

So she erected a verdant barrier, and the vines beneath her feet rolled once more, covering the lava land with green once more.

While Dan Lei was laying down the vines, the [Fire Emperor] fire covered his entire body, fueled by the power of his memory destiny, and transformed into a flame chariot that charged forward directly.

As we all know, fire overcomes grass, and Kainas is the goddess of nature, so she must also follow the basic rules of nature.

So when Dan Lei rushed over, the ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, and a jet of water shot out from the earth.

This is the power of Cainas: she can create anything that exists in nature on this planet at will.

However, it's really wishful thinking to think that ordinary groundwater can extinguish the fire of the "Suihuang".

As for steam burns, how could the Crimson Dragon Emperor Armor be afraid of such a thing?

Therefore, Danlei was able to get close and, with his fist burning with flames, struck Kainas without any mercy.

Fortunately, Kainas is quite agile. As the goddess of nature, even though her connection with the Elven Corridor has been severed, she can still move freely among the plants and vines.

So, she instantly darted into the big tree behind her, causing Dan Lei's punch to miss its mark.

Then she reappeared in the treetop and said...
"Dragon Essence Seed Pill, there seems to be some misunderstanding between us. May I ask why you want my divine essence?"

Kainas was clearly intimidated when he said that.

But that's not surprising.

Kainas is not the kind of deity that would fight desperately for the life it created.

In the original story, she chose to remain silent and observe when the forest elves faced the attack of the "God of War" Altshu.

Therefore, upon realizing that Danlei was not someone to be trifled with, and was not merely an ordinary dragon king who wanted to enslave the forest elves by brute force as the forest elves claimed, she immediately attempted to reconcile.

Seeing that Danlei didn't reply and instead continued to gather strength on the ground, she asked again.
"You just used extraterrestrial power? Haddrey allowed you to use this power from the universe?"

Regarding this issue, after Danlei had Draig double his magic power again, he instantly switched to the White Dragon Emperor's armor, providing all his magic power to Albion in one go. His jewel then unleashed a series of roars.

"Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!"

The plant domain that Kainas had painstakingly created despite the lava was instantly shrunk without any resistance in the face of Albion's halved Void Fate.

The vines that were originally as thick as a person's thigh on the ground shrank to the thickness of a piece of yarn in an instant, instantly carbonized by the high temperature of the ground.

The giant tree that Kainas was on instantly turned into a sapling with its trunk, which was more than ten meters in diameter.

With nowhere else to move, Kainas could only land back in front of Danlei.

At this moment, Kainas frowned, her whole body surrounded by flowing water, as if she had transformed from a goddess of nature into a goddess of the sea, clearly quite wary of the flames that Danlei had used earlier.

Dan Lei, seeing her land in front of him, began to explain the question she had asked earlier.
"What does it matter whether Hardy Lef allows me to use extraterrestrial power or not? Power is power. You'll know once you experience it for yourself."

After speaking, Dan Lei no longer concealed himself and instantly switched the power of destiny to reproduction and memory, with echoes intertwining: the condensation cavity erupted instantly.

Danlei had been using fire-type skills to make Kainas mistakenly believe that he was a fire dragon.

Although dragons can use all elements, they are usually proficient in one element, and fire is particularly popular among dragons.

Therefore, Kainas never expected that Danlei was actually better at playing on ice than with fire, and was caught off guard.

Water element is able to control fire element, but when it encounters a condensation chamber that specializes in freezing, it's like a dish delivered to the door.

The power of the Envoy-level destiny instantly made Dan Lei's strength surpass that of an ordinary god-like being. Before Kainas could even react, his lower body was frozen and the ice began to spread rapidly upwards.

Before he completely lost his ability to move, his last words were, "No! I can serve..."

Danlei knew that this goddess of nature was most likely saying something like that he could serve her.

But Danlei is not the kind of dragon who would be obsessed with beautiful women.

Using his previous knowledge of the Divine Essence of Order, Dan Lei directly pierced through Kainas's body, "pulled" out the Divine Essence representing the concept of "Nature," sealed it with a spell, and threw it into the Devouring Pouch.

Once the essence of nature was stripped away, Kainas's body instantly transformed into a rainbow of light that shot straight into the sky.

Its essence will eventually return to the Elf Corridor, awaiting its next awakening.

Therefore, for other races in the game, this light represents the death of a god-like being; someone has successfully killed a god.

After Kainas's body completely disappeared, Dan Lei sensed his surroundings.

The audience for this battle included:

A dragon that does not belong to Avalon

Xinku and Nina

Danlei summoned the mixed human and orc builder guard from Avalon City.

The Ten-Man Team of Skywing

And a group of orcs who did not belong to Avalon City
After counting, Danlei mentally estimated that the number of people was fine and that the traps he had prepared were enough.

Therefore, Danlei activated the second trap he had set up here: a massive rune binding array.

The first trap isolates the earth's veins by absorbing their power, but most of that absorbed power is now being used to power the second trap.

Everyone, including the people Dan Lei had called, was instantly bound to the ground by this massive earth vein binding array and couldn't move an inch.

Then, Danlei used earth magic to transport all these people to his side. Afterwards, Danlei first addressed his own people in Avalon City.
"You should activate your own power to protect your destiny."

Dan Lei's words were like a royal decree within Avalon City. Without any hesitation, everyone tried to activate the power that protected their destiny despite the binding array.

Of course, given their strength, it's impossible for them to draw upon the power of destiny within Dan Lei's binding array.

Here, Danlei's main purpose is to prevent Huahu from illogically infiltrating his own ranks in Avalon City.

Fireworks have a thousand faces and a thousand forms; it's normal for some to protect one's destiny.

It wouldn't be surprising if she were a complete life path seeker.

Since her destiny power is mostly obtained through performance, it won't be too strong. Her strongest destiny power is definitely the Joyful Destiny.

Of course, Tong Xie's fate could also be very strong, because she can play the role of a robin without being recognized by most people.

Moreover, the balanced destiny that Hanabi portrays is certainly not enough to balance all kinds of destinies; she needs the power of her allies to help her regulate the power of various destinies.

However, the power of destiny that is acted out is ultimately different from that that is truly cultivated.

As long as Hanabi uses her power to protect her destiny, she will be able to discern it.

However, this time Hanabi clearly didn't play dirty tricks; the team she brought was perfectly fine.

So Danlei released them and let them kill all the orcs who came to watch.

Afterwards, Danlei went to check on the Skywing creature and the giant dragon.

Dan Lei didn't recognize the leader of the Skywing race this time, but after carefully examining them by invading their bodies with magic, Dan Lei temporarily ruled out the possibility that Hanabi was among them.

As for the dragon, Dan Lei started begging for mercy as soon as he got close to her. It was a female dragon, and she said that her nest was in this area, and she only came out to check because she sensed the battle.

Dan Lei also used magic to invade her body, confirming that she was a real dragon.

No matter how well Hanabi can act, there are some special bloodlines that she can't portray, and the dragon bloodline is one of them.

Needless to say, with all other suspects eliminated, Hanabi was hiding between Shinku and Nina.

Therefore, Dan Lei walked up to the two of them, sensed Xin Ku's soul, and seeing that the wounds on her soul were still there, he ruled out her as a suspect.

After freeing Xinku from her restraints, Danlei looked at Nina, who was lying on the ground staring intently at him, and asked...

"I'm telling you, how long are you planning to stop this act?"

To be honest, Hanabi's disguise was actually perfect. Even now, he couldn't be sure that the Nina in front of him was Hanabi.

She might still be mixed up in the Skywing race's squad.

(The entire orcish force had been killed by this time, and Danlei confirmed that all of their lives had vanished.)

Because she has played the role of a robin in the past, she can create the Sky Ring Clan's Sky Ring and small wings, so she can naturally also create the Sky Wing Clan's halo and wings on its lower back.

However, Danlei doesn't plan to kill this group of Skywings for the time being. He wants to take them back to Avalon as prisoners and extract all the Skywings' intelligence and magical knowledge from their minds.

After all, Dan Lei was very interested in the Skywing race's [spatial transfer] technique.

Dan Lei wondered if he could combine the space folding technology he learned from the Black Tower to create a [space transfer] that could be used in the Star Iron Universe.

It's important to understand that the Star Iron Universe is far more difficult to use spatial magic than other worlds due to the ubiquitous and abundant imaginary energy throughout the universe.

The Lung Gate from High School DxD is completely ineffective in the Star Iron Universe. It cannot be opened at a distance, and it is not as convenient as the Displacement Magic.

Moreover, with these prisoners, we can find a way to lure Altshu over later.

However, between the Skywing and the Forest Elf, the latter is definitely easier to play.

The Skywing species all know each other inside and out, and Fireworks can't read minds, so it's easy to mess up if you're impersonating them.

Nina, on the other hand, became less talkative in front of Xinku after Danlei exposed that she was a boy.

Moreover, Xinku's attention was mainly focused on Danlei. She couldn't wait for Danlei to be killed by Kainas, so she naturally didn't pay much attention to Nina beside her.

Therefore, after hearing Danlei's words, she stared intently at Nina, trying to detect any trace of her acting.

However, after examining it for a long time, Xin Ku couldn't find any flaws, so she asked...
"Your Majesty, I don't see anything wrong with Nina. Is there some misunderstanding?"

Xinku didn't suspect that Danlei was deliberately looking for an excuse to harm Nina, because with Danlei's strength, there was absolutely no need for him to do so.

If he really wanted to kill Nina, he would have just killed her. He had even killed the gods of the forest elves, so he wouldn't care about a forest elf who was weak in his eyes.

Regarding Xin Ku's question, Dan Lei reignited the [Fire Emperor] Source Flame in his hand and stated directly...

"Whether it is or not, we'll know once we burn it."

After saying that, Danlei directly set the flames on Nina's back.

Danlei wasn't afraid of burning the wrong person. Even if it really was Nina here and he accidentally hurt her, he could only endure it.

Moreover, it turned out that Danlei's judgment was correct.

Just as the flames were about to touch Nina, he instantly broke free from the rune binding array and dodged the scorching heat of the flames.

Then, the person "dripped" around, and a beautiful girl with black twin ponytails, wearing a fiery red dress, and a white fox mask on the left side of her head appeared in front of Dan Lei.

Upon appearing, he immediately said in an annoyed tone.
"Little Golden Dragon! How could you bear to burn the little boy and girl's backs with fire! Don't you know that such a beautiful little boy and girl are a rare resource!"

Danlei said he was used to Hanabi's nicknames and immediately retaliated, saying...
"I know you, the little flame in the masked fool."

However, since you're here today, come back with me and have a good chat. Tell me what task your god, Lezi, gave you.

However, Hanabi then said

"Haha, little golden dragon, you've developed a path dependency from bullying the natives, haven't you? How could I be caught by you so easily?"

Oh well, we should leave a gift when we meet.

An imaginary neutron bomb, thank me.

Now, repeat after me: Flower Ska, Fire Ska, Little Firework!

After saying that, Hanabi's true form suddenly turned into a puppet. This guy really does use this trick to get around.

However, the puppet's belly was now open, and a firework doll was sitting inside, its head bobbing and its eyes flashing red.

Dan Lei dared not gamble on whether this imaginary neutron bomb was real.

The Masked Fool is capable of anything; this is a consensus among the major powers of the universe.

The reason why no one suspected Hanabi, who claimed to have planted the bomb in Pinocchio, was because of this.
