A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

The tolerant forest paints the vast land with fresh green, bestows the blessing of life on countless residents, and allows them to know the beauty of the world from the moment they open their eyes.

Until they close their eyes and calmly welcome death, the ears of every resident can still hear the reluctant blessings of others.

"Let me see what you can do."

The weight of the earth rests on Sera. In the deep ancient abyss, the wandering lord of the swamp gives the girl the ability to dispel heavy water, which is also the expectation of the earth.

Corroded by filth and changed by time, the long-dead Lord of the Swamp has become increasingly unrecognizable. At this moment, having briefly regained his ancient appearance, he may also be hoping for a decent end.

Falling and sinking, the turbid liquid that was so thick that it was almost solid still couldn't stop her from accelerating. After breaking through the last stagnant water of the ancient abyss, Sera felt the light lifting force.

Slowly landing on the ground, unlike the starry sky-like spherical hole she had seen last time, this time, what Sera saw was not the numerous thoughts flowing in the earth, but the new earth itself, which was a tangible world and a huge monster.

If the "awakened earth" is placed in mythology, it can be called Gaia.

"You are special."

A deep and powerful sound rang out from all directions. The will that was neither light nor darkness was extremely clear in Sera's perception. His calm gaze was projected from an unknown towering body, making people tremble involuntarily.

The huge gap in life levels, like a chasm like a natural moat, firmly separated Sera and the giant beast, but both he and the girl were now equals.

"The stars have blessed you with hope, the forest has selflessly provided its inhabitants with the blessings they deserve, and beyond that, an old man whom I cannot understand has shown you the truth of not killing and not slaughtering."

"I have seen your will and heart clearly in the previous battle. For once, I should choose to trust this world."

"The existence of suffering does not mean that everything will come to an end. Even death cannot take away the laughter of living beings before their departure."

The awakened giant beast narrated his changed cognition. He who once accompanied Gu Yuan drew the contract between man and the earth with mysterious words. The color of the heavy rock radiated an indelible light in the lightless area. As long as the name was signed, a new era of the forest would come.

The girl will serve as a bridge, deepening the connection between the land and the forest, until the foundation of the family is solid and no intermediary is needed.

"Thank you for your anticipation. However, before completing the contract, I would like to ask a question."

"Is the Mud and Dust Colossus that protected me during the previous duel still here? It's my family..."

The arrival was unexpectedly smooth, and she received a kinder attitude than she had ever imagined. However, there was still a worry in her heavy heart. Sera looked directly at the majestic beast, and asked this question despite the strenuous pressure.

"..."

Is this the love that holds the forest together?

As soon as the giant beast's thoughts turned, the invisible force accurately grabbed the scattered thoughts and soul from the endless abyss. During this careful observation, he also discovered the boiling emotions in the pure heart.

He loves her so much that he wants to protect her with everything he has. His determination, which is beyond his capabilities, is naive and childish, but not stupid at all.

The clear light shines, and the untainted spirit gathers into the fat image of Mr. Orange. When he sees Sera who is safe and sound, he is so happy that he dances with joy, and his greeting action is also very funny.

However, when it found that it was floating upwards faster and faster, panic appeared on its funny face, as if it didn't understand the situation. Even if the earth beast explained the reason, it still couldn't accept the fact that it was far away from Sera.

"It will return to its body on the ground. When you return, you'll be able to see Mr. Orange alive and well."

When the name of the Mud Colossus was mentioned in front of Sera's strange look, the giant beast coughed a few times deliberately and then changed the subject.

"Do you have any other requests?"

The light accumulated over the years emitted a long-lasting radiance in front of her eyes. Sera, who suddenly felt relaxed, looked at the contract in front of her and recalled the many strangers who had given her power before. Their words contained concerns about the possible conflict between the forest and the earth, and they hoped that she could lead to a beautiful future where the earth and nature can live in harmony.

"Nothing much, just how do I sign this?"

After studying the signing process, Sera's question made the giant nod slightly, thinking that the girl had indeed asked the point.

"Blood and spirit, just write your name with a mixture of the two."

It turned out to be the case.

Nodding to show her understanding, after making a small cut on her fingertip, Sera wrote her name on the contract with stable mana and blood. As for the content of the contract, it hoped that she would serve as the witch of the earth, walk in the forest as the agent of the earth, and establish a connection between the ground and the underground.

"Alright, the forest is still having trouble with that alien. As my witch, you should use the power of the earth to help the forest."

Keep the two copies of the contract carefully. The giant beast who always likes to stay at home gave orders, asking Sera to show up quickly and make his presence felt.

In fact, he also had a share in the credit for giving birth to that alien species. If he was found out, his chance to reform would be gone.

"But how do I use it? I don't know anything."

Blinking, Sera, who felt a distinct affinity for the earth, was puzzled. She stared at the "Awakened Earth", hoping to learn the key to its use from Him.

"Well, that's a very good question. Let's study it now..."

His words hinted at the lack of a solution for the time being, and the giant beast's deep and powerful voice instantly became a symbol of unreliability.

"Well, alright then, let's... study it."

The communication between the witch and the earth was very effective. After a while, the prototype of the method was put into practice. In the underground without light, a body with the power of the earth was slowly born.

Due to the corrections made by Sera and the Staff of Green Sprouts, this body, which was intended to be used to manifest the power of the earth, gradually grew new green shoots.

"It's time to strike! Little Sierra!"

The giant beast's joyful roar caused the world to tremble, and through the lightless darkness, Sera also realized the power of this body.

Extraordinarily strong, as long as nothing goes wrong, dealing with alien species will not be a problem.

As Sera was thinking this, she heard a prompt tone that only she could hear.

Card creation successful, [Original Behemoth], Rainbow Card, Description: The body of the earth that walks on the ground, its majestic posture is the guardian of the world.

69. I will attack as Siwon!

That thing should be a mantis.

The dark green body is a hard exoskeleton that has the characteristics of resisting magical interference while also taking into account excessive physical properties. Although it has a human-like face, it is full of a weird sense of incongruity and does not look like a natural creature at all.

Its earth-gray lower body has many sharp sickle-shaped feet. Just walking can stir up a violent airflow, beheading all living things in its passage. The bright red blood may be the testimony of the death of the beheaded residents.

The executioner without any reason, when the floating blade and the vibrating sickle foot chopped down together, that was the end it had been waiting for.

"Unlike the aliens we've destroyed before, that guy possesses an extraordinary concept of slashing. It's like a moving guillotine. If you get hit, it will probably be the end of your life."

The preliminary exploratory attacks have ended. The attacks using methods such as freezing and fire were easily cut off by the alien's sickle legs. The forest residents who have not yet found an effective method can only stop its actions by controlling gravity and confusing space, and then develop a more effective elimination plan.

"Many ranged attack spells are ineffective, and the useful large rituals are unable to cause targeted damage. I have reason to suspect that this guy came prepared."

The dwarf sage, adorned with gold and silver, was fuming with frustration at the helpless situation when he suddenly noticed a completely different smell on the wind.

It was a smell that was different from all the races in the current encirclement, and even different from the forest species, but it was mixed with a familiar natural charm, a universal tolerance combined with something heavy, and its solemn and inviolable posture rose like a mountain.

"Hey, Thrandal, do you know something?"

The straightforward dwarf sage asked a straightforward question to the elven sage who had frowned and then suddenly relaxed, and received the Riddler's unique smile.

"I can't be sure. I can't be sure."

He answered loudly, but his expression was relaxed and contented. Thrandal must have known something, so he smiled intriguingly, but he just didn't say it. The curiosity in people's hearts slowly turned into a special kind of anger.

"Just wait, the truth will be revealed soon."

The discussion in the command post ended for the time being, and outward from the command post was the land that had been cleared of debris and fortified. A large number of residents along the aliens' route had been evacuated, and even the immobile trees had been evacuated to a safe area with the help of the gardeners who took care of them.

The faint light passed through the distorted space, and the tortuous light path revealed the outline of the hemisphere covering the alien species. The huge and terrifying body of the alien species could be vaguely seen. It moved very slowly, and its multiple yellow compound eyes were staring at the forest front in all directions.

And as it longed to slaughter lives, an immortal tree man was staring at it head-on.

The irregular four seasons are restrained within the body, and the walking incarnation of the seasons bears scars from being slashed, and the limbs that recover extremely slowly are no longer as strong as they were in their prime.

"Sister Mia, do you feel it?"

Overlooking the entire battlefield that was ready to fight from above the tree man's head, the four seasons elves who were resisting on the front line also felt the drastic changes in the forest after the sages.

The cheers and jubilation were different from the trembling when facing an alien species. At the same time, a solemn and grand aura was rapidly approaching. Even if one had never witnessed it, one could be sure that its awe-inspiring presence was no less than that of Druute.

"Well, Xiao Xia, what's wrong? It must be those old guys who invited some antiques from some remote place. It would be nice to share the pressure from now on."

"Uh, Sister Mia, do you think it's reinforcements? Why does it feel like it doesn't look like reinforcements to me?"

After returning from the shadow of the ancient abyss, Xia Jingling, as a victim, vaguely felt that something was wrong, but from a sensory point of view, the probability of reinforcements and friendly forces was obviously greater.

"Hey, Xia Tian, ​​why are you so worried? You'll know when you see it with your own eyes. It must be an old guy from some remote corner."

The Spring Elf Lafu complained in a condescending manner and put forward the principle of seeking truth from facts.

And as if responding to the words of the Spring Elf, suddenly, the trembling earth played a melodious melody for His appearance.

The earthquake's waves spread in all directions, like the rumbling of war drums on a battlefield, or like thunder in a rainy day. The dull sound became louder and louder, heralding His arrival.

An expanding road naturally appeared in the lush forest. The straight crack ran across the long surface of the earth, but strangely, it did not harm any tree or even any forest resident. Under the unfathomable underground crack, first the vast and thick mana rushed out, and then the shadow of a giant beast like a miracle appeared.

The white Baoyu was born with pure cheeks, and the bright light shining on His forehead was like a tower of glory and a bright horn, constantly generating blessings for the world.

Naturally grown vines and trees form the tangled strands of hair behind His head, while the new green sprouts all over His body are the hair growing on His body, brimming with unimaginable vitality.

The giant beast stood up and stepped out of the deep earth. Wherever it went, the forest and the earth cheered for it. When its majestic body completely stepped on the ground, the rumbling sound of the earth sounded again, and the crack that ran through the forest naturally closed without leaving any trace.

"Wow, if they have this thing, why do they still need us to go? I knew those old guys were very evil."

After confirming that the giant beast belonged to the forest camp, the angry summer elf complained above the tree man's head, and began to feel that it was somewhat not worth it for him to go into battle with injuries.

"Om-"

The roar of the primordial beast was clear and pleasant, and the only thing that existed was the deterrent power that the beast itself possessed. The first appearance of the body of the earth, which was not based on killing but on protection, brought a unique shock to the forest on the ground.

As for Sera, who is at the core of the original beast, as the agent of the earth, she finds it particularly difficult to maintain the connection between the ground and the underground and act as the brain of the beast.

"Hahaha, is this the scenery above ground? It's indeed much more beautiful than the scenery underground."

The starry sky is dotted with magnificent colors formed by the numerous thoughts underground. The dark, gravity-less space is the core of the original giant beast.

With sweat on her forehead and difficulty in holding the Green Sprout Staff, Sera, who was panting, had to control the huge body of the giant beast while enduring the nagging of her boss from underground. She was already showing signs of being a miserable worker.

"How long will it take for this body to give birth to a complete mind?"

Letting the Origin Behemoth, which was only able to function instinctively, rest, Sera took advantage of the free time to ask her superior underground a question.

"Little Sierra, just stay in there for a while. It'll only take a year or two at most. It's nothing."

Grass.

Sera, exhausted and about to burn out, named a plant.

70. Battle Discussion

The giant beast of origin stood in the sight of the residents. Its body was even larger than the incarnations of the four seasons and the imprisoned alien species. Even though it belonged to the forest, its unrestrained deterrent power still frightened those who approached it.

There is no other reason. His body, which is a symbol of strength, has already shown that his every move will stir up a storm, shake the earth, and bring all kinds of disasters that the insignificant people cannot bear.

However, the invisible blessings that spread around Him dispelled the fears of the residents who were friendly units.

The body becomes lighter, the mind becomes clearer, and with one leap one can reach heights that are normally unreachable, allowing one to see more details of the giant beast.

There is no doubt that He is also a member of nature, and will be the most important fighting force in the next fight against alien species.

The butterfly wings made of light only drew a glowing track in the world near sunset, and the figure rushed straight up and reached the top of the giant beast in just a few seconds. After careful observation, the Valkyrie among the fairies discovered the reason why the giant beast was motionless.

"Ah hello."

Sitting on the broad head of the Origin Beast, bathed in the clear mana glow, the girl wearing a robe similar to that of an elven sage greeted the fairy woman who appeared in front of her.

"I am the disciple of Master Thrandal. You can just call me Sera."

"I see." A look of understanding emerged on her delicate face. After learning everything was true through remote communication magic, the Radiant Valkyrie smiled refreshingly and said, "It seems Thrandal is quite lucky to have accepted a good disciple."

"Everyone wants to see you now. I wonder if you would be happy to do so, little Sera. If you don't mind, I can give you a ride."

"That would be great, but what should I call you, sister?"

"Just call me Sister Tia. Come on, it sounds like everyone wants to have a good chat with you about the next battle plan."

With a stern voice and a touch of kindness towards a young person, the Fairy Valkyrie put away her sword and shield and flew forward. After hugging Sera, she made her move.

"Sierra, you're a little light. You need to eat more next time."

"Many people have told me, why not be gentler?"

The shining butterfly wings broke through the constraints of the wind, and the best among the fairies immediately showed Sera her pure and extremely fast speed. The exaggerated acceleration brought an overwhelming feeling of pushing back, an experience that was countless times more exciting than bungee jumping, which made Sera look bitter.
