Chapter 476: Chapter 414 Call My Name, Fight for Me_1

Thus, the overwhelmingly corrupt scene that Moando’s pet servant had anticipated did not occur.

On the contrary, the power of corruption that was infused into the Dragon Oak Mother Tree disappeared without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea, while the life force they gathered became stronger and stronger.

This discovery only startled Moando’s pet servant, Caroline, but she did not panic completely.

Although the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was formidable and unrivaled, comparable to some of the weaker natural deities, it was not a deity itself and lacked the sharpest weapon of a deity—Divine Nature.

At the same time, it was restrained by the Divine Root’s power of corruption.

Many people only know one aspect of the legend of the Primordial Temple of the God of Corruption and Degeneration, not the other.

The roots of the God of Corruption were just a part of this Primordial Temple.

In the beginning, the God of Corruption and Degeneration tempted and corrupted a group of druid sacrificers from the Natural Temple, leading them to sacrifice the temple dedicated to their deity to him, granting him the initial Divine Nature and starting the corruption and degeneration of the temple, officially embarking on the path to Divine Enthronement.

The name Divine Root has a dual meaning: it is not only formed by the roots of the God of Corruption but is also fundamental to the God of Corruption as a deity.

After the God of Corruption’s fall, the Divine Nature generated by his followers to honor him could not be absorbed by his celestial body exiled to the Starry Realm and would instead gather temporarily in the Divine Root.

It would wait there until the resurrection of the God of Corruption, to be absorbed once again.

During this period, those Corruption Divinities belonged to her, Caroline, the pet servant of Moando, who protected them and, with their aid, brought the entire Divine Root into an activated state.

In this state, she could manipulate the Corruption Divinity more effectively.

This was her most significant trump card.

The corruption of Mesnoel and the extensive destruction in the Mir Forest were acts to honor the God of Corruption, generating a considerable amount of Corruption Divinity in the process.

She delayed using this portion of Corruption Divinity for two reasons.

First, she was merely an usurper, and even with the help of the Divine Root, it was not an easy task.

Second, she planned to weave it into a trap meant to ensnare and even corrupt the avatar of a deity.

If successful, the gains would be incredibly massive, and the resurrection of the God of Corruption and Degeneration in a borrowed shell could be possible.

However, the appearance of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree completely disrupted her plans.

While there was a significant amount of Corruption Divinity, she was not the God of Corruption and could not summon such power for two tasks at once.

After weighing the pros and cons,

Caroline decided to stand pat, sticking to the original plan and waiting for the avatar of the True God to fall into the corruption trap.

Although the Dragon Oak Mother Tree displayed a unique ability to withstand the Corruption Power, corrupting natural power is the domain of the God of Corruption, especially when a large amount of Corruption Divinity stands by.

Even without deliberate targeting, a considerable amount of natural power was still being transformed into the power of corruption.

At the same time, vast amounts of Corruption Power were being purified, transformed into life force.

The two forces clashed, with the Divine Root’s side losing a bit.

Corruption Power may be transformed, but the souls that were annihilated and purified within the Dragon Oak Dream Realm could not be reclaimed.

But at least it wasn’t a one-sided affair; the Divine Root, with thousands of years of accumulated strength, couldn’t be consumed and digested by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree in a short period of time.

But the threat of the True God’s avatar was very real, not to the Divine Root but to Caroline herself.

No matter how severe the erosion from the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, it was directed at the Divine Root.

But once Lady Strategy made her move, what would be jeopardized was her own life, and then everything would come to naught.

It’s closer! Even closer! Just a bit more! Just a bit more!

Just as Lady Strategy was about to fall into the trap Caroline had meticulously prepared, the furious rush of steps suddenly halted.

Right on the edge of the trap, only a step away.

In the star-shaped colored eyes, Caroline sensed a mocking, a mocking that seemed to see through everything.

Who was she?

She was the Goddess of Strategy and Planning.

What she presided over was strategy and planning in wars.

Playing schemes and tactics with her in the context of war was like bringing an axe to a carpentry class.

She had already seen through everything and was merely countering the strategy, depleting the power of the Divine Root while creating opportunities for the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

"You will stay!" In a moment of chilling dread, Caroline let out an angry roar, only able to attack at a less than ideal moment.

The Divine Root suddenly contracted, the walls on all sides came to life, moving towards the Red Knight, and countless black tendrils extended from the walls.

Encircled from all directions!

But this kind of physical entrapment was obviously futile.

Before those black tendrils could touch Lady Strategy, she had already vanished.

When she reappeared, she was already outside the Divine Root.

Although Lady Strategy’s primary occupation was warrior, she was a deity with Domain Spells.

War, Travel, and Prophecy were her domains, which she mastered and could even bestow upon her followers.

Attempting God Slaying without disabling these powers was a joke.

Lady Strategy didn’t need to know what kind of trap had been set; she just needed to sense that various teleportation spells had been blocked to know it was best to keep her distance.

Having reopened the distance, Lady Strategy once again unleashed a massive arc-shaped flame slash.

Severing another branching tentacle.

Then she resumed her relentless charge.

The Red Knight’s goal was simple: to continuously harry the Divine Root while hovering around Caroline, creating a deterrent to prevent her from acting freely.

Once she committed fully to the war against the Dragon Oak Mother Tree without concern for losses,

Lady Strategy would once again rush to confront her, aiming to cut her down from her mount.

The Red Knight embodied the essence of warfare, with a powerful reserve force constraining her target, a force potentially several times greater than that used in an offensive.

That was exactly the situation at the moment.

Hou!

The Divine Root let out a roar that pierced the heavens.

Its monstrous body, gigantic as a grub, suddenly unfolded and began to thrash violently.

With a series of undulating tremors, the Corruption Creatures embedded in its body were flung out one by one, especially the Tentacle Demon Vines that previously served as its support.

The Corruption Creatures that had been following the Divine Root also roared in response, accelerating their pace and converging towards the Divine Root without regard for the expenditure of their strength.

Caroline changed tactics, no longer relying solely on the Divine Root but using these Corruption Creatures to break the stalemate.

The slightly gathered Monster Army surged forward, menacingly advancing toward Darama.

The tactical objective was simple.

"You want to protect Darama, don’t you?"

"Then I will send an army to destroy it!"

"How will you choose?"

If she retreated to defend, she could focus her strength on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

If she did not retreat, once her Land of Faith fell victim to a fatal onslaught, it would be difficult for her True God Incarnation to maintain its presence for long—the new Law after The Year of Upheaval stipulated that divine incarnations could not be summoned and must not enter Felen of their own accord.

To attack would be to once again fall into her trap.

"Thinking of splitting your forces? No way! Your opponent is me!" Gaven sensed the objective behind the slight movement of the Divine Root.

The Dragon Oak Giant Claw lifted slightly, then pressed down again with terrifying speed.

With a colossal boom,

not only was the body of the Divine Root forcibly driven meters into the ground, but the ground itself also sank several meters under the force.

What was most terrifying was the surge of a formidable Life Force that seized the moment to ripple out, dragging the souls of the Corruption Creatures directly into the Dragon Oak Dream Realm.

The strength inherent in the Dragon Oak Giant Claw was already horrifying.

With an operator who understood the use of power and technique, it was even more terrifying.

That was clearly the skill of a warrior’s exerted force.

However, this method could only stem the outward release of creatures by the Divine Root; the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was powerless against the previously released and the following Monster Army of Corruption Creatures.

Pinning down the Divine Root was already the limit of what the Dragon Oak Mother Tree could do.

Gaven’s voice rose again, "My lady, leave this place to me; go lead your troops to protect Darama City. We absolutely cannot let them breach the city."

The slightly hoarse voice of Lady Strategy responded, "Are you sure you can hold on? It still has a Corruption Divinity that it hasn’t used— even I wouldn’t take it lightly!"

"I can’t guarantee a victory, but to entangle it, delay it until my lady’s troops defeat its minions, is definitely doable," Gaven confidently declared.

To confirm his words were not empty, Gaven called out loudly, "Luna, lend me your body, open your heart and mind."

Hiss!

The Half-Moon Colt neighed long and loud, soaring into the air.

A green beam of light descended from the sky, connecting directly with her.

But this time, the light wasn’t pouring strength into her body; instead, it was drawing it out.

Whether it was Life Force that had been fully transformed or Corruption Power that hadn’t completed the transformation, all of it was being withdrawn.

"What are you waiting for? Open up and run, absorb without restraint! The Mother Tree is now your wings," Gaven reminded her.

Hiss!

The Half-Moon Colt answered with a long neigh, feeling the connection with the Mother Tree.

The Corruption Power she absorbed would not linger in her body; she was merely a channel, using her unique nature to shift the absorbed Corruption Power onto the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

Her wings functioned in reality much like the photosynthesis of trees with the Power of Corruption.

In this regard, the Mother Tree had a terrifying advantage she did not possess.

Without the burden of a limit, the faster she soared and ran, the faster the Power of Corruption was absorbed, and the quicker the Dragon Oak Mother Tree transformed it.

The next moment, the Half-Moon Colt became a black whirlwind.

Running and flying after the Divine Root, the incoming Power of Corruption engulfed her, completely obscuring her true form.

A black pillar rose from her being, continuously transferring the absorbed Corruption Power to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

The Corruption Power had no chance to blacken a single leaf of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree before it was transformed into the most pure Life Force.

Together, these elements pushed the Half-Moon Colt’s Corruption Furnace ability to its zenith.

Even the Divine Root could not withstand such a method of extraction.

Wherever she passed, the corrupted water dried up, the rotten wood utterly decayed, the sludge turned to solid chunks, and the corrupt flesh decomposed completely.

When decay and rot transitioned to death, they no longer fell under the jurisdiction of the God of Corruption and Degeneration but that of the deity of death.

Seeing that Gaven really could still hold on for a while, Lady Strategy didn’t hesitate any longer. She teleported to the banks of the Is River, sword pointed at the oncoming Monster Army of Corruption Creatures, and called out loudly, "Invoke my name, fight for me, heed my command, be invincible in battle, unassailable in attack, come forth! Troops, to me!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Beams of light landed behind the Red Knight.

One by one, fully armed knights materialized behind her.

A female knight, resembling Lady Strategy in both attire and demeanor by about eighty percent, rode forward and respectfully said, "The Red Falcon Knights answer the call, willing to charge for my lady once more."

Without question, this slightly smaller knight was none other than Katherine, the one Lady Strategy embodied during her Divine Enthronement, her first of the Chosen.

Though Lady Strategy had yet to raise her own God Kingdom with its Heroic Spirits,

she already possessed the related abilities.

Summoning her devout followers with Divine Power, to battle on her behalf.

Calling the Red Falcon Knights was just the beginning.

As beams of light landed in Darama City, corresponding beams emerged on the banks of the Is River, in the army camp behind Lady Strategy.
