Chapter 1 What Is It?

The emerald green seedling had just broken through the soil when it began to expand and grow rapidly.

The surrounding piles of fallen leaves were lifted and blown away by the enormous force, and the ground was directly torn apart by the proliferating tree roots.

Soil churned, dust billowed.

Countless giant trees, each a kilometer tall, were squeezed and toppled by the ever-widening trunk.

A hundred meters, a thousand meters.

The tree quickly surpassed the canopy of the entire primeval forest and continued to grow upwards, soaring into the sky, almost like...

"Like the legendary World Tree."

Wang Bulvxing gazed in awe at the tree in the distance, rising higher and higher into the sky, muttering to himself.

"Even if it's not the real World Tree, its mystery won't be any less than the genuine World Tree in Norse mythology."

Ju Tianfu said bitterly to his fellow Special Affairs Bureau members, "The Gungnir you sealed just now was taken from Odin's corpse."

With the help of the mental network woven by the Side of Truth, the group instantly exchanged information.

When Ju Tianfu desperately intercepted Gungnir, Sha Sheng Yuan, seeing that the situation was not good, directly used the spatial rift created by the Torrent Dagger to reach outside the heart chamber, found the Ant King and Ding Zhensì,

And using the positioning function of the walkie-talkie, they found Hohenheim and the others who were rushing from the inferior vena cava, completing the rendezvous.

Hohenheim and the others encountered constant dangers along the way—first, a full-scale war broke out between the immune system and cancer cells, with both sides fighting fiercely in a large number of blood vessels, tissues, and organs,

Causing the body itself, that is, the Giant, to experience an overreaction of the immune system.

Blood vessels collapsed, tissues overheated. These phenomena, manifested within the Giant, were like the sky falling and the earth collapsing, with some areas turning into copper furnaces and fiery seas, and the temperature in some places reaching thousands of degrees.

After the disaster occurred, Hohenheim and the others accelerated their escape, discovering the figures of other transcendents in the process.

Some transcendents who had never been seen before and were clearly not from Earth were fighting and escaping in the inferior vena cava, just like them. Both sides noticed each other's presence beyond visual range but did not get too close.

Even in such a chaotic situation, transcendents belonging to different worlds and with no previous contact were often enemies rather than friends.

Then, Hohenheim and the others detected traces of gods.

Some transcendents with demigod-level power fluctuations had fought around the blood vessels of the inferior vena cava, but they had all disappeared.

They may have been teleported out of the Sìmìng battle, or they may have been killed by enemies.

And the identity of the god-slayer...

"It's very similar to Michael."

The Side of Truth said faintly in the mental network, "In the process of drifting along the inferior vena cava, the spiritual energy motes I released for monitoring detected the aura of at least eighty demigods with different attributes in a total of 27 capillaries, 13 blood vessels, 11 lymph nodes, 7 nerves, and 4 muscles.

Including, but not limited to, the elephant-headed god of the Hindu pantheon, Ometotchtli, the god of wine of the Inca pantheon, Demeter of the Greek pantheon, and Tsukuyomi of the Japanese pantheon.

And accompanying these auras was a sacred attribute power fluctuation that was 80% similar to Michael.

Considering that even Michael could not appear in so many places at the same time,

And kill and eliminate, or force back such a large number of demigods,

There is only one possibility—within the Giant's body, there are a considerable number of Michael's approximate bodies.

You can also understand them as angels."

Ju Tianfu took a deep breath. "Are you saying that Michael is an angel in the literal sense?"

"Yes. If I'm not mistaken, she herself is a saint. She inherited the power of Michael from the real world."

The Side of Truth pieced together all the fragmented information in his mind, vaguely forming a complete puzzle.

The monotheistic god of the Semitic people...

Michael...

The missing saintly gods and the equally missing angels...

The Side of Truth suppressed the unease in his heart and took out a square, translucent purple block with a diameter of 4 meters from the void.

The transparent block was made with his mental creation-based ability. It was indestructible and had good isolation effects on various attributes of energy. He had used similar materials to temporarily seal Gungnir, the Eternal Spear, just now.

And what was imprisoned in this transparent block was a ferocious and terrifying insect beast.

"Isn't this the swarm creature that appeared in the Doorway Scramble War..."

Ju Tianfu instantly recognized the origin of the insect beast, and a painful experience buried deep in his memory immediately surfaced in his mind.

"Yes. This swarm creature accidentally drifted into the blood river of the inferior vena cava. They appeared in the Doorway Scramble War, and now they're here again."

The Side of Truth's spiritual vision lingered on the Ant King for a moment. The Ant King, who had been dormant for a long time, might have made rapid progress in the eyes of other transcendents,

But in his eyes, that was all there was to it. In any case, it was impossible for him to have a deeper connection with the swarm, so he didn't talk about any funny "Ant King conspiracy theories" in the spiritual network.

(Referring to the speculation about the missing Ant King that was stirred up by bored people on the player forums after the Doorway Scramble War.

For example, the Ant King is the mastermind behind all of this,

The Ant King is plotting a big game behind the scenes,

All the bad phenomena on Earth are blamed on the Ant King, etc.)

The Side of Truth said, "The bad news is that the spiritual energy reaction of the swarm creatures is even stronger. Their base camp is very likely in the gastrointestinal area, where they are plotting something.

And the worse news is that we are the only ones here now. We can't contact anyone else. We don't know where Hanshuishi and Su Nisheng are, and we don't even know what that person in the distance is doing at this moment."

Everyone's eyes turned to the distant sky,

The giant tree had reached a level of 200,000 meters, surpassing human imagination, and its lush canopy directly reached the dome of this space, growing and expanding below the dome.

Ju Tianfu was right. The mysteriousness contained in that towering tree was so high that even they, the first echelon of transcendents, were amazed.

If converted into the level system of the Killing Game, it would definitely be an epic level, even beyond epic.

Legend? Or mythology?

"What exactly is that..."

Wang Bulvxing muttered to himself, his expression dazed.

A towering tree 200,000 meters high, even the legendary Fusang tree, was far inferior.

"Want to know? Then go ask."

Sha Sheng Yuan took a deep breath and once again waved the Torrent Dagger, opening a spatial rift.

The other side of the rift was not another place, but the place where Odin had fallen before, and also where Huangshi died...

Wait, Huangshi isn't dead?

Ju Tianfu, who had crossed the rift, was shocked to discover that Huangshi was still lying alive in the lava pit.

His body had first been bombarded by the light beam cannon of the Semitic monotheistic god, leaving him riddled with wounds and on the verge of death,

Then he was pierced by Gungnir, which had the attribute of causality—the wound caused by the Eternal Spear kept flowing with blood, cooling and extinguishing the lava pool,

But Huangshi himself was still alive under the protection of some special power.

"Heh, you've come."

Huangshi, who was like a rag doll that had been cruelly ravaged, showed a mocking smile when he saw the group walking out of the rift, and said in a hoarse, low voice, "This is a bit of a surprise to me.

After seeing your own god, you didn't choose to flee in panic or prostrate yourselves in surrender."

"First of all, Earth is indeed a religious planet, and there are indeed many religious countries, but I personally am not within the scope of religious people."

Hohenheim took the lead and said, "Secondly, most top transcendents are fanatical believers who only believe in themselves.

Even if they want to worship gods, they have to figure out the form of existence, purpose, and position of the gods."

"Position?"

Huangshi grinned hideously and said, "You dare to question him without even knowing what he's doing?

Didn't you see that even I have been turned into this state with one blow?"

"If you don't want to talk to us, why bother staying here?"

Tai Hao interjected, "Now, we are the only ones who have the power to help you. So, let's be frank. Tell us what he's doing."
