Big Capitalist

When Merlin and the others left the sewer and stepped into the Arcane City, the scene before them made them feel as if they were in a whole new world.

The sunlight penetrates the layers of branches and leaves, casting tiny golden spots. The breeze blows, and the light and shadows sway, like a dream.

The streets that were once bustling and busy with traffic are now occupied by various towering trees and lush vegetation.

Huge oak trees are rooted in the cracks of the cobblestone roads. Their thick trunks require several people to hug, and their bark is rough and weathered. Their branches and leaves stretch freely toward the sky, intertwining with each other to form a natural green dome that covers the streets. The branches are entwined around the crumbling buildings around them, and the trunks are supporting the collapsed houses.

Many of the houses and buildings along the street have been entangled by layers of vines.

Those vines were like a group of nimble green snakes, climbing up and down, some of them reaching into the house through the windows, and some circling up the chimney.

The walls are covered with moss and are full of greenery, making the originally brittle stone brick buildings "glued" together under the power of these plants.

In the square, the originally smooth and flat ground no longer exists, replaced by a lush lawn.

Crystal dewdrops hung on the tips of the tender green grass, sparkling with colorful light under the sunlight. In the middle of the grass, several ancient ginkgo trees rose from the ground, and their golden fan-shaped leaves rustled in the wind.

Under Hoyd's power, the Arcane City, which was originally shaky and about to collapse, was lifted up by the vigorous life force of these plants.

Merlin stood on the street of the Arcane City, slowly looking around, his eyes full of amazement.

The plague force that once shrouded the city like a haze has now been completely dispelled, like dark clouds blown away by a strong spring breeze, disappearing without a trace.

Instead, there is the surging and omnipresent green life force, which is like a gentle yet powerful warm current, nourishing every inch of the city and reviving every corner.

"Where are the demons? Have they disappeared?" Merlin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. His eyes became sharper and sharper, carefully observing every detail around him. However, what surprised him was that he could not see any traces of the demons in his field of vision, as if they had never set foot on this land.

"Merlin, look over there!" Stacy's clear voice broke the silence. She raised her jade hand slightly, and pointed in a direction with her slender fingers, her expression showing a bit of astonishment and nervousness.

Merlin turned around quickly upon hearing the voice and looked in the direction Stacy pointed. In an instant, a strange and shocking scene came into view.

I saw that the bodies of the demons and monsters, which were originally hideous and emitting an evil aura, were now covered with all kinds of plants.

Some demons had a few tender green seedlings sprouting from their heads, and their leaves were trembling slightly in the wind; some demons had their limbs tightly entangled by thick vines, unable to move; others had their chests broken open, and a small tree with lush branches and leaves grew out of it, with its roots deeply embedded in the body.

Each of them still retained a ferocious expression, but that look seemed to be fixed forever. Together with the stiff body, they remained forever at the moment of death, like a series of frozen horror paintings.

"All these demons and devils have turned into 'plants'!" Merlin's eyes widened, his voice filled with uncontrollable shock. His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he was deeply shocked by the unimaginable scene before him.

"My God, what kind of power is this?" Merlin muttered to himself.

All of this was the work of the demigod Hoyde. In front of the absolute power of God, these demons were as small as ants and could not compete with the majesty of God.

From the moment Hood appeared, their fate had been rewritten and the ending had already been determined, which was to welcome death in this endless green and turn into nutrients to nourish the earth.

Whether it was the Ancient God Cult or the demon clan, they had all planned everything carefully.

Originally, everything was progressing steadily according to their plan, and victory seemed in sight, but unexpectedly, variables came one after another.

The first is Selene, the moon goddess in Merlin's body. Her appearance undoubtedly disrupted the enemy's deployment.

Although she is a "degraded" god who cannot ignite her own divine fire and has no divine weapon, Otto, the legendary wizard of the Ancient God Cult, can fully cope with this emergency with her own powerful strength.

But they never expected that one problem would be followed by another. After they finally waited for Pope Jones of the Church of Light to leave the Arcane City, which made them breathe a sigh of relief, Hood came again.

This mysterious and powerful demigod, like a blockbuster bomb, instantly turned the tide of the battle and completely shattered their dreams.

It seems that the plans of the Ancient God Cult and the Demon Clan have failed and they are in an irretrievable situation, but this is not the case.

How could the Ancient God Cult, which had put so much effort, expended countless hard work, and spent so many years carefully planning and silently enduring, give up so easily?

There must be some plot and some reward, but the result is far from what they expected.

In a corner of the Arcane City, a wretched figure was lying on the ground in fear, trembling.

This person was Sigma. He had been hiding here for a long time, holding his head tightly with both hands, burying himself deeply like a frightened ostrich.

He never thought that he was just following orders and keeping an eye on Merlin as instructed by his superiors, but he encountered such a thrilling, life-and-death incident for no reason.

Just when Sigma felt that it was safe outside and his tense nerves relaxed a little, he was about to get up and leave to change into a clean pair of pants, when suddenly, a cat-sized mouse appeared in front of him.

The mouse had messy hair all over its body, a pair of small eyes flashing a strange red light, and a squeaking sound came out of its mouth from time to time. It looked very strange.

When Sigma saw such a big rat, disgust and aversion instantly appeared on his face, and he called it bad luck.

However, he was a third-level magician after all, so he did not panic. He quickly took out his wand from his arms and decided to kill the disturbing guy to prevent any further trouble.

Sigma muttered something and waved the magic wand in his hand. A blazing fireball instantly condensed at the top of the wand and whizzed towards the mouse.

The fireball streaked through the air, making a whooshing sound and bringing up a heat wave.

However, unexpectedly, when the mouse saw this, it seemed to have human wisdom. It kicked its hind legs and stood up suddenly.

Then, it flashed and dodged the fireball attack at an extremely fast speed, like a black lightning, and instantly came in front of Sigma.
