God-level Hero

When the Mitsubishi Team members were still excited about obtaining the first-hand load data of the Flying Battleship, Da Fei was already touring the Flying with the stealthy General Ragnar.

Ragnar was full of admiration: "As expected of a warrior, even the Kingdom Druid Council might not be able to produce such advanced equipment as the warrior. The warrior is truly creative, and I’m fully confident in our upcoming battle!"

Is it so? Am I on track to reach the peak of mortality? Da Fei laughed heartily, "The general overpraises me!"

Ragnar continued to marvel: "If earlier I asked the warrior to help me attack Demon Flame City—my archenemy—to make amends and settle my grudge, I may have changed my mind now. After all, my grave mistake has caused such a disaster that mere merits cannot compensate for. I’ve decided that once this war is over, I will resign as general."

Da Fei exclaimed: "Resign?"

Ragnar laughed: "At that time, I want to follow the warrior to travel the world to improve my cultivation. I wonder if the warrior could consent? If the warrior does not agree, then I will have to become a hermit."

Da Fei was stunned on the spot! Goodness, is this a hint for a reward for this task? The issue is I only want a pretty female elf like Daelir as a follower. What would a big, burly man like you follow me for? It was already overwhelming to have Hillsea!

No, a general with a large army is my greatest connection value. I’m not just a transient visitor of national wars who fades away; I’m a cross-region saint who can come back any time to see things. What use do I have for a powerless male follower?

Da Fei hurriedly said, "General, I understand your feelings of guilt, but you can’t give up on yourself. Even if the merits of this war cannot compensate for your mistakes, you can always make amends in ten, a hundred, or a thousand years later. If you don’t make amends, your heart will always feel regret—in other words, negative feelings. I don’t think resigning will help improve your cultivation under such a mindset. So while I’m flattered by the general’s appreciation, I absolutely do not support your resignation!"

Ragnar responded, "The warrior’s words make sense."

Well, is this the reaction after being politely refused? It’s too calm.

At this moment, Tamilia reported: "Lord City Lord, we have reached the area indicated by the general."

Da Fei was surprised: "So soon?"

Ragnar laughed: "Of course, it was never far; otherwise, the Demon Army would not have retreated so quickly. Now it’s time for me to disembark and act. The warrior should stay hidden outside the region. Once I break the barrier, the warrior will see a huge teleportation gate to hell. Then pick me up on the ship, and together we will attack through the gate!"

Da Fei exclaimed: "A teleportation gate to hell? Does it mean Demon Flame City isn’t in our world?"

Ragnar said solemnly: "Of course not. In our world, it only has a concealed space gate entrance due to the barrier. That’s precisely why they’ve been lurking near the World Tree without being detected."

Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Really? Is it just a campaign mission, and I need to enter hell? No wonder Lamia’s map doesn’t have Demon Flame City; it’s not in the same world!

Da Fei quickly asked: "Can we come back?"

Ragnar said seriously: "Of course, because the entrance naturally formed through the root system of the World Tree reaching into hell—it is a two-way spatial passage. You know, the root system of the World Tree is incredibly vast; it reaches into various worlds to absorb nutrients, including hell. The demons obviously found this out before us, so they created the barrier to conceal the entrance and plotted a massive invasion slowly. I guarded the Pool of Radiance’s vicinity for so many years without discovering the demons’ conspiracy, which is my biggest failure!"

Da Fei was suddenly enlightened! Da Fei vaguely remembered when Mayor Elorin gave him the Pool of Radiance task; they mentioned the World Tree’s root system drills too deep, inevitably encountering the abyssal demons. Okay, hell is nothing special; the Divine Punishment City is hell, and the main city where hell players are born is also hell, and that’s it!

Da Fei nodded, "Alright, then let’s act! Tamilia, open the door to send the general ashore!"

"Understood!"

After the general landed, he disappeared from Da Fei’s radar. All Da Fei could do was activate the Sky Ship’s stealth, start up the Flying’s dark domain, and wait in concealment. At this moment, Da Fei’s thoughts were churning.

Speaking of, the situation at the Pool of Radiance in China Region is quite similar to Japan Region, meaning there should also be a hell entrance nearby caused by the tree roots in China Region’s Pool of Radiance—another major concern for me. When I return home, I might have to flatten that city too? But without the God of Wine’s assistance, flattening might be impossible. Can the space gate be blocked off?

Da Fei hurriedly found the three elders beside the Wine Pool: "Three elders, may I ask, since the general found the entrance to hell, is there any way to close this entrance?"

The elder said seriously: "It’s quite simple. Since the entrance is formed through the World Tree’s root system, destroying that section of roots can close it. It is obvious the demons discovered the World Tree’s root intrusion but did not destroy it, as it suits their conspiracy. Conversely, they likely protected that section of roots from our destruction, which makes this battle quite hard."

Da Fei’s brows twitched: "I see!" Destroying the tree? Da Fei immediately recalled the swarm of beetles he saw absorbing the nutrients from the tree roots on his first visit to the Pool of Radiance. At that moment, Da Fei’s heart raced—can I rely on the beetles to consume the World Tree?

Damn! Absorbing the energy of the World Tree, Da Fei thought with excitement.

At this very moment, firelight suddenly flashed in the dark underground ahead, followed by a roaring explosion echoing! The next moment, the radar showed the general’s green dot and a large group of surrounding red dots!

The elder immediately said: "Warrior, prepare for combat to assist the general!"

Da Fei excitedly waved his hand: "Teleport to the battlefield!"

The Sky Ship demon light flashed, and the scene before Da Fei’s eyes shifted. The Sky Ship appeared in a steaming explosion of fire mist, with a huge swirling spatial gate faintly visible within the mist!

"You’ve arrived at the right time!" The general on the ground plunged into the space gate that Tamilia opened beside him and directly said, "Warrior, enter the space gate!"

Is this entering hell? Da Fei’s voice trembled with tension and excitement: "Charge inside!"

Then Da Fei’s vision went completely dark!

——System Prompt: Scene loading, please wait patiently...

It’s another long-lost scene loading, it really is crossing worlds! So, has the God of Wine arrived? Wow, you must come, or I’ll feel miserable!

Finally, after a long seven to eight seconds of loading, the scene changed, and in front of Da Fei was the long-lost fiery red. At the same time, a large area of red clouds exploded on the radar, and the sound of earth-shaking alarms came to his ears!

Whoa, immediately high energy upon entering! With no time to let his eyes adapt to the new environment, and without even confirming whether he was in the sky or on the ground, Da Fei waved his hand directly: "Elder, release the God of Wine!"

"Understood, Warrior!"

A blood-red shockwave rumbled and spread from the Central Village, instantly enveloping the entire ship!

In the next moment, Da Fei finally saw where he was—a gigantic square surrounded by high walls that are dozens of meters high, with countless ballistae on the walls aiming at the fluctuating Space Gate where he was!

The General’s roar came: "Warrior, quickly teleport!"

Da Fei was scared, waving his hand: "Teleport—"

"Got it!" As Tamilia responded, the countless ballistae on the high walls exploded with earth-shattering mechanical sounds, roaring in unison, and numerous ballista bolts whistled intensely as they came rushing—

In this instant, Da Fei shouted "teleport" dragging out a scream-like ending!

In the next moment, the scene changed, the Sky Ship appeared in the fiery cloud sky hundreds of meters high. Da Fei, calming his frightened nerves, looked down, and had a bird’s-eye view of the entire city. Dense clusters of buildings surrounded the very center of the city, enclosing the Teleportation Gate square with high walls—it truly was a classic offensive fortress!

At this moment, Da Fei’s radar flashed in gold!

——System Prompt: Your Divine Detector has discovered a divine power reaction!

Da Fei hurriedly looked in the direction indicated by the radar and saw a garden within the city where a faint gold-green light was flashing!

The General shouted excitedly: "It’s the Divine Power Tree Root of the World Tree, that building is the City Hall!"

At that moment, the gold-green light suddenly burst forth, a gold-green shockwave expanding instantly with the City Hall as the center, covering the entire city and the territory where Da Fei was! Then the system prompt sounded loudly:

——System Prompt: Warning! You have entered the barrier domain of the mutated World Tree; your spatial abilities and healing abilities will consume extra energy!

Whoa!

The Third Elder was horrified: "The demon has actually mastered the way to harness the Power of the World Tree!"

The General shouted: "Warrior, destroy it immediately!"

Da Fei gritted his teeth: "Teleport above the City Hall, prepare to throw stones!"

A deep voice echoed throughout the city: "Lock down the Space Gate, eliminate the invaders!"

The General gritted his teeth fiercely: "It’s the Demon Flame City Lord! Warrior, rest assured, if he dares to show himself, I’ll use all my Hero Power to perish together with him!"

Da Fei was shocked, jaw dropping to the floor! Hey, hey, you were just talking about resigning and retiring, and now you’re ready to risk your life? Wasn’t it just because I sent you a good person card?

Da Fei cried out anxiously: "General, don’t act rashly, we still have the God of Wine!"

That’s right, why hasn’t the God of Wine arrived, won’t he get lost in Hell? Damn it, he promised to come next time, don’t ditch me at the critical moment!

Just at that moment, lightning suddenly exploded at the space square, an angry roar echoing through the city: "Even if you hide in Hell, you cannot escape my wrath!"

Finally, he arrived! Watching the figure of the Thunder Giant suddenly appearing in the square, Da Fei felt as though he saw his father!

Dad! You are my real dad!

"——Eat my Aegis!"

Boom!!! A flash of thunder in the square, amid the earth-shattering explosion, the entire ground shook, and the dust soared a hundred meters high, instantly obscuring the sky and blocking Da Fei’s view!

Whoa! He really brought the Divine Artifact! In this instant, Da Fei’s only thought was to take advantage of the thick smoke for Mysterious Stealth Navigation!
