"So, now these world trees are all yours?"
Everyone is now inside the World Tree.
They were in the main world tree that had just been reborn.
The World Tree at this time was very empty.
There are no buildings and no layers.
It's just a huge empty space.
They were now at the very edge of the World Tree.
Calculating the location, this should be...
The "treasure house" of the alien invader leader, which was made of non-concentrated scarlet crystal and was destroyed by Xu Xin and his team.
Back then, Xu Xin and Xu Ying placed several nuclear bombs here.
However, that was before the World Tree withered and was reborn.
Now there is only a simple little room here, which should have been built temporarily.
At this time, everyone was sitting in this simple little room, listening to the monster's explanation.
"Yes, I now have complete control over these three world trees." said the monster.
"What about the alien invaders here..." Xu Xin asked.
"Those of them that are still alive have now been gathered by me in another world tree. Oh, it is also the first world tree that withered." said the monster.
It just explained to Xu Xin and others what it did after they left.
When Xu Xin and Xu Ying left, it was still in the alien invaders' giant ship.
Initially, the giant ship did use the isolated space to trap it inside the giant ship.
But it didn't actually want to escape from the giant ship.
Because its target is inside the giant ship.
That is, the weapon used to make the world tree wither parked in the giant ship!
That’s right, it was the group of tanks that destroyed Xu Xin and his friends’ tree house.
The only returning flagship actually contained a chariot capable of destroying the World Tree.
And the monsters' target is them.
It wants to use the chaos to control the chariots and attack the three world trees here!
And the situation here was, as it had expected, extremely chaotic.
The main gun of the giant ship controlled by Xu Ying destroyed the teleportation formation with the first shot, causing the iconic teleportation light column to disappear.
This attracted the rebels among the alien invaders who were already ready to make a move from all directions.
After they came to investigate, they were shocked to find that the city surrounding the teleportation formation that was originally used to station troops had been blown into a big hole!
The main world tree of the alien invaders' leader was even dug up by the roots!
At the same time, the rebels against the alien invaders also have some spies here.
They all know that the bombed roots of the World Tree are actually where the source of their life is stored!
And what blasted through it was actually the main gun of their giant ship!
Immediately, all the alien invaders and rebels had a guess.
That is, the alien invaders' companions also appeared within the leader's team!
Someone in the alien invaders' team also rebelled!
Yes, they never thought that this was done by humans. In their opinion, humans absolutely do not have this ability.
They directly blamed the internal chaos of the leader's team.
And this is exactly what they want to see.
So, the chaos began.
The scene was extremely chaotic at one point!
Thousands of alien invaders and rebels drove their own equipment and began to attack this side.
The team led by non-alien invaders naturally cannot have weapons other than defensive ones.
But of course the rebels would smuggle and make them secretly.
Although the performance of the weapons is definitely incomparable to that of the leader team, but...
Part of the alien invader army completely disappeared in the turbulence of time and space, while the other part was blown to pieces by Xu Ying's cannon.
The rest are just some remnants of the defeated army.
And the security forces left behind in the World Tree.
So, the battle between the two sides began!
Although the army of the leader's team has been basically completely destroyed, they still have the World Tree.
The three world trees themselves are still under their control.
As a result, the rebel army rushed in, and the three world trees were forced to fight a defensive battle.
The scene was extremely tense and filled with smoke.
But this scene did not last long.
Because although the rebels cannot enter the most important main world tree, they can enter the other two world trees!
The main world tree requires a gatekeeper to corrode the trunk to enter, but the other two do not.
"Oh... indeed, there is no need." Li Wenxi whispered to Xu Xin, "When we first entered that World Tree, we just stomped our feet at a certain location, and the mutant vines took us up."
"Yes, so, relying on this method, a part of the rebel army entered the World Tree under the fire of the World Tree's external weapons." The monster's cracked mouth moved slightly.
"… Haven't they taken any measures inside the World Tree?" Xu Xin asked, "Will they not prohibit anyone from entering or leaving the World Tree at will?"
"It can indeed be banned, but don't forget that the one who can control the World Tree..." The monster blinked a few times.
oh…
leader.
With the leader's caution, he must have all three world trees under his control.
It is the only one that can make changes to the settings of the World Tree.
But by then, it should have been...
"So, the rebels from the alien invaders entered the World Tree and quickly broke through the interior, greatly reducing the power of the World Tree's external weapons."
“Then, I took action.”
The monster is still in the giant ship at this time.
It had already found the location where the chariots were parked early on.
After all, this main ship is also very familiar in another time and space.
In the chaos, thanks to the intelligence brought from another time and space, it finally took control of the chariots.
So, the tank group was dispatched!
The speed of the chariot is not fast, only about thirty or forty kilometers per hour, which can be said to be very slow.
At that time, the giant ship was anchored in the sand sea more than 30 kilometers away from the World Tree.
The giant ship's power system had been destroyed at that time, so the tank corps could only be released from that location.
Therefore, after those chariots drove out of the giant ship, they needed to travel for nearly an hour before they could get close to the World Tree.
However, the rebels actually knew nothing about these tanks.
Because these chariots are the ultimate means for the alien invaders' leaders to destroy the world tree.
It told no one except its closest relatives.
So, when these slow chariots moved towards the World Tree, the rebels did not take it seriously.
They even regarded these chariots as the forces of their rebels, and thought, whose chariots are these? Isn't it shameful to send such things to help
Therefore, these chariots easily arrived around the World Tree in the midst of the melee.
Of course, they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to.
After all, Ji Chaoyang and his team had already tried out how strong these chariots were. They used extremely slow speeds in exchange for super strong defense and mobility.
In short, the chariot arrived at the world tree smoothly.
At this time, the melee was basically over.
On one side are the rebels who have been ready to fight for a long time, and on the other side are the leaders who have lost the four huge warships that were the foundation of their country and most of their soldiers.
The battle became one-sided as soon as the rebels invaded the World Tree.
At this time, the rebels had even begun celebrating in the World Tree.
But the next second, the chariot showed its power.
They attacked one of the world trees and injected a drug that would cause it to wither quickly.
The result is predictable.
The world tree collapsed, withered, and shattered within a few minutes.
Along with everything in the World Tree.
Including the rebel legions that are currently among them.
More than half of the rebel army was wiped out in an instant.
Because the monster chose to invade the world tree with the most rebels.
This scene shocked the rebels.
They didn't expect these chariots to have such powerful capabilities!
What they didn't expect was that the leader of the alien invaders would actually adopt a strategy of total destruction and directly destroy the World Tree, leaving behind even his own people and the things inside!
"At that time, they thought that the destruction of the World Tree was done by their leader who had always exploited them." said the monster.
"Wow, let the dead leader take the blame!" said Zhao Xiaochuan.
The monster was silent for a few seconds, then said, "... It wasn't dead. At that time, it was still alive."
Not dead?!
Everyone was shocked.
Then, I also understood the meaning of this sentence.
Still alive at the time...
"That is to say, it is dead now."
Xu Ying stared at the monster and said.
"Naturally, I can't let it live."
The monster said in an ugly hoarse voice.
Its voice was somewhat low and slow, and there seemed to be a slight fluctuation in its emotions.
That leader, after all, is its... "father".
But in another time and space, its "father" treated it very well.
Although it is just a product of genetic planning.
However, it was only slightly melancholy.
After all, the "father" who treated it well was the leader of another time and space, not this leader.
"I killed it with my own hands, in front of the rebels."
Killed it in front of the rebels with your own hands? !
Everyone looked at each other.
The information content of this sentence is huge!
"Although I have a lot to ask you, the one I want to ask the most is..." Lou Feier looked at him in surprise, "Are you so powerful? Can you kill your leader?!"
"Under normal circumstances, I would never kill it."
The monster continued to speak slowly in a hoarse and unpleasant voice.
"It was much stronger than me, and much more cautious. I couldn't even find a chance to get close to it."
"But it was different then. It was badly injured. Half of its body was destroyed, and the remaining half was in a horrible state."
Xu Xin and Xu Ying looked at each other.
It seems that they reacted quickly enough at that time.
The moment they saw the leader, Xu Ying quickly teleported Xu Xin away, and Xu Xin instantly detonated the nuclear bomb.
Everything happens in just a moment.
The result was that the leader of the alien invaders used his body to receive the nuclear bomb in the safest main world tree, in the safest "treasure house" in the main world tree.
"... That guy, is he that strong..." Xu Ying murmured, "He was hit by a nuclear bomb in the face at close range, but he was only seriously injured and not dead?"
"Of course not." The monster closed his eyes and shook his head humanely, "That's a nuclear weapon. No matter how strong your body is, it's impossible to catch it."
Nuclear bombs are the nemesis of all carbon-based life.
"That old guy's physical abilities are much stronger than those of ordinary alien invaders, but compared to a nuclear bomb, it's still far behind."
"It just ran fast at the time and luckily managed to survive."
Run fast...
"That is to say..." Xu Ying opened her eyes, "When we detonated the nuclear bomb, it actually realized something was wrong the next second and teleported away instantly?"
"That's right." The monster nodded.
"Wow, the leader of the alien invaders is really cautious!"
Li Wenxi sighed, and then said to Xu Xin and Xu Ying: "You two were hiding with the Cloak of the Hider at that time, right? In other words, it only saw the nuclear bombs on the ground, and did not consider checking the situation of the nuclear bombs that suddenly appeared here, and teleported away on the spot!"
"Hey, I think it's just simply timid?" Lou Feier said with a smile.
It's like a timid person who suddenly sees a spider at home.
He wouldn't first consider where the spider came from or whether it had built a nest in his home.
But run first as a sign of respect!
Perhaps this was what the leader of the alien invaders was thinking at the time.
It values its life very much, so it is very timid.
In the safest room, it suddenly saw a foreign object on the ground. It might not even have reacted at the time what it was, but it felt something was wrong, and then it teleported away instantly!
At that time, the transmission device was right next to it.
So he was able to be teleported away quickly and saved his life.
"Actually, the injury is serious for it, but not too serious." said the monster.
"Its body is so strong that it can even face the light of concentrated scarlet crystal directly without going insane. It can even consume excessive amounts of scarlet crystal at once to strengthen its body and store energy."
"Its physical strength, recovery ability, and reaction ability are beyond the reach of other alien invaders."
Xu Xin, Xu Ying, and Li Wenxi, all three of them had met the leader of the alien invaders face to face.
Its body is indeed much larger than normal alien invaders, and its body is covered with scarlet lines.
At that time, in front of Xu Xin and Xu Ying, it even bit directly on the broken scarlet crystal.
"It's afraid of death, so it made its body stronger." Xu Ying crossed her arms over her chest, "It did the right thing. If it hadn't strengthened its body, hadn't had such strong reaction speed and physical strength, it would have been killed by the explosion."
"Yes, and its powerful recovery ability can also allow it to recover quickly."
The monster's mouth opened a few more times and said.
"Given its physical condition at the time, half of its body was blown off, and the other half was seriously injured and dying. If it were an ordinary alien invader, it would not have survived without major surgery. But it..."
"Maybe it will only take half a day to fully recover."
Half a day...
Is this the physical strength of the leader of the alien invaders
At that time they thought that the leader of the alien invaders would most likely not survive, but now they are really embarrassed.
However, even if the leader came back to life, the current situation is no longer something it can control alone.
Moreover, it encountered monsters.
"So, it met you immediately after it was teleported out?" Xu Ying asked.
"Of course." The monster nodded. "It can be said to be a pleasant surprise."
The destination that the leader teleported to was exactly inside the giant ship.
And the monster at that time was also inside the giant ship.
At that time, it was busy controlling the chariot, but it did not expect that the seriously injured leader would suddenly be teleported in front of it.
That's right, it was teleported directly in front of it.
It was just a few meters away.
"Probably because it wanted to directly activate these chariots and destroy the three world trees, so it teleported directly to where I am." said the monster.
The leader’s mentality at that time was easy to understand.
The leader at that time experienced the destruction of the concentrated scarlet crystal, and then was half-killed by an explosion in the place he thought was the safest.
These two places are both within its main world tree!
In other words, its main world tree has been completely invaded and is not safe at all!
In this situation, it would naturally think of letting the World Tree wither and start over.
So, by accident, the seriously injured it was teleported in front of the monster that was trying to control the chariot.
"I was really scared at the time, but when I saw how badly injured it was, I immediately felt that its situation could be used to our advantage."
"If I kill it with my own hands in front of the rebels, I'm afraid I can control this group of rebels!"
“So, a plan was born.”
"I captured it when it was seriously injured and shot it several times. Oh, that's the gun you have in your hands now."
It pointed at the weapon that Lou Feier was still holding in her hand.
"This weapon actually has no effect on its body, because its recovery ability has exceeded the speed at which this weapon can restore its body."
"However, it was seriously injured and dying at the time, and its body was already in a state of full recovery. Adding a few bullet holes to it made it even worse. So it fell into a coma."
"You already know what happened next."
After a period of effort, it successfully started the chariot, and then successfully withered a world tree, killing most of the rebels.
The rebels put the blame on the leader of the alien invaders, and they hated the leader to the core!
However, they were right to blame their leader for this, because their leader also wanted the World Tree to wither and regenerate. If not, it wouldn't have encountered the monster.
In short, at this time, the monster appeared in front of them carrying the half-dead leader of the alien invaders!
They are actually both unfamiliar and familiar with monsters.
After all, the plan to integrate human brain genes was only spread among the upper echelons of the alien invaders.
After all, this is a high-tech project that low-level alien invaders simply cannot access.
And these rebels are almost all low-level alien invaders.
They just heard that there was a monster that came back from the future and asked their leader to start implementing a plan against humans.
These alien invaders don't even know what is happening on the other side of the earth.
This state of ignorance is the easiest to deceive.
Especially when the monster is holding the half-dead leader in its hands.
At that time, all the rebels' attention was focused on it.
Everyone was in uproar.
Because of the situation of the leader in its hand and also because of its appearance.
"I am the product of your leader's genetic experiments."
"I know that in front of you, I am a monster."
"I hate my appearance as much as my fate."
"You may know that I have been making your leader work hard for a plan for decades!"
"And this plan is for today!"
"I will kill this old thing with my own hands in front of you all!"
It finished speaking these words quickly and passionately, and then, in full view of everyone, it threw the half-dead leader of the alien invaders to the ground.
He took out a gun that could kill alien invaders and started shooting frantically at the leader's body.
The leader's flesh and blood flew everywhere!
The sound of gunfire and the tragic condition of the leader made everyone quiet.
All the rebels looked at it, watching it beat the already dying leader into a pulp with one shot after another.
Then it completely turned into powder.
"Hiss—" Zhao Xiaochuan took a breath of cool air.
Just thinking about that scene makes me feel a little... chilling.
It's like... a religious execution.
"After that, I became their hero."
The monster's mouth split to the back of its head again.
"Although my appearance is very ugly to them, because this appearance is caused by the 'leader' they have always hated, they have more sympathy for me."
"Although I killed most of them, they thought that it was the leader who did it."
"And I also told them that the chariot is now under my complete control and tragedies will not happen again."
"So, I, who should not have been recognized by them, became their wartime spiritual leader."
"Of course, I know that this spiritual leader won't last long. Because they have a physical aversion to me, and we are not of the same tribe. The leaders among them don't want me to be their new leader."
"But at least now, after the battle has just ended, my words still have influence." The monster closed its eyes and said, "Of course, the most important reason is that I controlled those chariots in front of them."
"They know that I can control the weapon that destroys the World Tree."
"Of course, they also began to suspect that I was the one who released the chariot."
"But no matter what, they are relatively obedient for now. There are only about 300 of them left, and most of them are currently concentrated in the first world tree that I destroyed."
The monster stopped telling the story for now.
Xu Xin and his group were able to take a break and sort out the information.
Unexpectedly, during the three months they were in the World Tree, such an earth-shaking thing happened in just one day in the outside world.
"... Wait a minute, so why did you gather those alien invaders in the World Tree?" Xu Ying asked, "And... why did you restart the teleportation formation?"
Everyone else was looking at the monster, hoping it would give an explanation.
"That's my plan."
The monster said, then it raised its arms, which were longer than its legs, and waved its hands: "Don't worry, everything is moving in a direction that is beneficial to both of us."
"The concentrated scarlet crystal was not actually destroyed, right?" Xu Xin asked.
"If my original plan had been followed, most of the concentrated scarlet crystals should have been left." The monster spread his hands, "But I didn't expect you to activate the main gun of the giant ship and destroy it with one shot."
"At that time, the Concentrated Scarlet Crystal had been blown into pieces by you, and once again experienced the baptism of the main gun..."
"Although you didn't completely destroy the concentrated scarlet crystal, but... only one out of a hundred survived."
Xu Xin looked at it.
He felt that there seemed no need for the monster to lie to them now.
The monster's goal is to create a race of its own, and this requires the help of humans.
Their purpose is the same.
He asked, "So, the remaining ones are in your hands now?"
"No. It's... mostly gone."
The monster's mouth split open, and all the eyes on its body opened: "The remaining ones were almost all used to restart the teleportation formation."
…
Everyone was really confused.
What's the meaning…
If it is really as it says, then it is really great that the scarlet crystal has been consumed, but...
"So, what are you doing this for?" Zhao Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to restart the teleportation formation?"
Xu Xin seemed to understand what it was thinking.
Is it wanting to...
"Are you trying to... deceive the mother planet in this way?" Xu Ying's eyes moved and she muttered to herself.
"It seems that you have figured it out."
The monster nodded.
"Yes, that's what I thought."
"The resources of this planet are very important to the mother planet. After all, here is the hope for the continuation of their race."
White crystal.
The alien invaders traveled through the universe for tens of thousands of years to find the supplies.
"So, if we cut off all the resources and communications to our home planet, what do you think will happen?"
Everyone was silent.
It's obvious.
The mother planet will most likely send a fleet over again to check the situation and exploit resources.
Even if the journey is long and difficult.
After all, the hope of their race lies here.
"… So, do you want to continue offering them tribute?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked, "Isn't that too…"
"At least it can't be interrupted now."
Before the monster could speak, Xu Xin spoke.
In fact, he has always been worried about this issue.
They drove away the alien invaders, but what should they do when a fleet comes from their home planet
Although it is very difficult for them to return, they can still get back in a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years.
His idea at that time was to rapidly develop technology by relying on the world tree where time flows extremely fast!
Before the alien invaders' home planet's giant ships return, they must have the technology to resist the alien invaders!
But it’s not very stable.
But now, the monster gave another option.
"We can gradually reduce the supply. During this period, we can develop our own technology." The monster said, "When the time is right, we can tell them that the earth's resources have been exhausted and cut off their supply."
Xu Ying nodded: "This is indeed the safest approach."
Her heart is beating a little faster now.
She didn't know, were they... already successful
"What do you want to do with the remaining rebels?" she asked.
"There aren't many scarlet crystals left."
As it said this, the monster took out the remaining piece of concentrated scarlet crystal.
The light illuminated the entire room, causing everyone to frown.
But then it retracted.
But everyone has seen it.
That’s about the size of a basketball.
A round concentrated crystal that has been melted to almost no edges by the high temperature of the explosion.
"These are all I have left. I can't afford to keep many of them, so..."
The monster said in a negotiating tone, "I plan to keep some of them as my living gene bank. What do you think? They can no longer cause any waves, and this scarlet crystal can only keep them alive for... maybe one or two years."
"We have no right to interfere with your choice. Besides..."
Xu Xin looked at it and asked, "Before you came, you took all the members of your 'race' away. They should all be here now, right?"
Those humans who have undergone various mutations, with necks that can stretch and heads full of worms.
Those little monsters it created.
"They... are in another world tree." The monster's mouth slightly cracked, as if smiling. "I plan to stay here and make this place my base."
"You... aren't going back?" Li Wenxi asked.
She was not very confident about this monster who had taken advantage of them, so she casually played the emotional card: "Sister Gui Xin is still looking forward to your return."
"We can communicate through teleportation, but it doesn't mean we have to sever our relationship." The monster said with a grin.
"... So, this was your goal from the beginning." Xu Xin looked at it and said.
"...Yes." The monster nodded. "However, if you really have the ability to completely destroy the concentrated scarlet crystal, I will gladly accept it. My plan is based on a win-win situation."
Its plan was really successful.
"Won't you take us to visit the other two world trees?" Xu Xin stood up and smiled slightly.
"Of course, no problem." The monster's mouth also cracked, "I will naturally show everything to my allies."
