Free Web NovelChapter 958: Chapter 469: Awakening and Vengeance
It’s not that Herbert revitalized the entire forest, but rather that everything within this forest is under Herbert’s control.
This power undoubtedly surpasses the limits that an epic can reach, entering into the domain of the Divine.
Whether this power comes from some special artifact or a forbidden ability that requires a price, it is indeed astonishing.
Not everyone is qualified to access and use these!
Being able to gain access and being qualified to use it already proves a lot in itself.
He actually can use the power from the "Divine"!
As Svanni and Fremay were filled with amazement and awe, Eliza remained quite calm.
She hummed indifferently, looking completely unsurprised.
"Humph, what’s so surprising about it, hasn’t he always been such a shocking man?"
"Since Herbert made a promise with confidence, it would be unlike him not to fulfill it."
Seeing that the other two seemed not to understand her meaning, Miss Vampire twitched her lips and mumbled softly, "What are you guys still shocked about? I’ve long been accustomed to it..."
It’s not that she wasn’t surprised, but she had become numb to it long ago.
She was numbed.
As for what extent Herbert can achieve, and how many surprises he can bring to this world... she no longer thought about it.
Just empty your mind, and follow his lead.
Why ask?
What’s there to ask?
When he tells you to bow, bow; when he tells you to endure, endure; when he tells you to turn over, turn over... just enjoy.
...
...
When the Beast Ear Clan became progressively fanatical towards [Lord Herbert] and the Monster Girls became increasingly amazed by him, Herbert was preparing for the next step.
The real battle isn’t over yet!
Bringing down the Tree Man was just the rumbling noise before the real downpour to come; it’s just the first step.
Thinking of crushing an epic Tree Man to death, it’s more like daydreaming to an extent.
Moreover, the attacks of these revitalized "plant people" appeared intimidating but could hardly cause any actual injury.
Expecting some ordinary plants to break through an epic strongman’s defenses was somewhat an excessive demand.
However, Herbert didn’t need them for damage output; just buying himself a bit more time was enough.
Just like—the key to "Blue Silver Entanglement" is not about output, but control.
Wrap them all for me!
Entangle!
Entangle!!
Entangle!!!
Layer upon layer of vines, sensing the summons, responded wildly, wrapping around the Thistle Tree Man’s legs.
One vine’s strength isn’t enough; a slight move by the Tree Man could easily snap it.
But what about tens of thousands?
What about a hundred thousand?
An overwhelming number of vines surged forward, pinning the Tree Man’s legs firmly to the ground and continuously tightening!!!
Moreover, it’s not only the vines on the ground, but the roots underground exerted even more force, rapidly scooping out the ground below, causing the collapsed Tree Man to sink deeper and deeper!
Roar!!!
After floundering for a while, the Thistle Tree Man regained consciousness and attempted to rise, letting out furious roars.
In its wrath, its already formidable strength increased once again, forcing the vines wrapped around it to stretch taut, seemingly about to snap apart forcibly!
["How do you plan to resolve this?"]
In his anxiety, the "kind" goddess appeared, teasingly: ["I suppose you don’t plan to just bury it in the ground and suffocate it, do you?"]
She seemed completely unconcerned with their previous "spat," inquiring considerately:
["My ally~ Do you need me to offer you a small bit of help? I think you’re probably not very experienced in wielding the power of the Divine!"]
["Just like last time, leave it all to me! You don’t need to give anything; I’ll help you seize control easily and take it down~"]
Miss Harmonious God, though saying Herbert doesn’t need to give anything, didn’t hide her intent nearly at all—to "secretly" retain a bit of control over the forest.
Herbert was completely aware of Nina’s little scheme and didn’t care.
Even if she didn’t bring it up, Herbert would let her retain some power.
The two had long been in a mutually beneficial relationship, thriving or failing together, so why divide us?
The stronger Nina was, the more confident Herbert felt.
Unexpectedly, however, Herbert declined Nina’s goodwill.
"No, really, I can’t use you this time, you’d better be careful, I think someone has been watching here all along."
["Eh?"]
Nina let out a puzzled sound, then explained: ["Ah, I can guarantee they won’t notice... never mind, what are you planning to do now? Just keep dragging it out with it like this?"]
Miss Harmonious God originally thought Herbert would continue to stall the Tree Man for a period, finally finding its core weakness and destroying it.
Yet, to everyone’s surprise, Herbert revealed a confident smile at this moment, softly saying, "No, it’s already over."
"It’s all over."
Nina: ???
Herbert didn’t bother to explain to Nina but simply waved casually at the Tree Man.
The next moment, countless plants attached to it fell like "freshmen receiving a lunch break dismissal order," quickly descending and then rushing back to their original positions.
On the way back, some "plant people" even collided with each other in pursuit of better spots.
A moment later, the forest that had been devastated by the battle astonishingly restored its lush appearance, as if nothing had happened at all.
