Volume 5 Chapter 78: In the end, it’s still dependent on this great me to save the world ╮ ( ̄▽ ̄) ╭
Let’s rewind time a bit, back to when the will of the Moon Tree had just escaped the curses thanks to the aid of the elf corpses.
From the Aspect of Silence, a hand reached out to catch the will of the Moon Tree, pulled him into the Aspect of Silence, then hurriedly ran away.
Looking at the upper half of the figure that was still pinned on the withered Moon Tree, the will of the Moon Tree laughed: [Fight, keep fighting, all of you fight!]
He had no reasons to reject Eternal Heat’s request. While this would only force him to spend what little power he had left, it would also make the battle of the Seven Gods escalate even further, which lowered the chances of the ultimate winner pursuing him.
[It’s a good thing that Negary helped me by raising a group of elf corpses that can use the power of Error, otherwise, it would have been really difficult to manipulate anything from the inside]
The will of the Moon Tree suppressed his own delight and quickly moved away following Chromie within the Aspect of Silence.
He was sealed for thousands of years, falling from the ruling spirit of a powerful world to becoming someone else’s cattle, unable to do anything but wait to be harvested once every 100 years, this level of humiliation had been carved into the world itself.
[Fortunately, there’s still hope]
The Elven race that he raised had all but died out. At this point, there was no longer a single normal elf remaining in this entire world, so it couldn’t be helped for him to feel joy from escaping, but since he knew that it wasn’t yet time to relax, he suppressed his emotions.
[Chromie, everything depends on you now]
Within the Aspect of Silence, the will of the Moon Tree sat sprawled on the ground. Having been sealed and continuously harvested for a thousand years, he was already weakened; but to escape the seal, he had divided his will even further, leaving him even weaker.
“What should I do now?” Chromie observed this incredibly weakened individual in front of him and asked while still remaining cautious of his surroundings. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
The other party controlled the complete information of the Eleven race, so only he knew how to travel to other worlds. Chromie had the Celestial Magic, but he could only communicate with celestial bodies, not travel to them.
On the other hand, he also needed the will of the Moon Tree to activate the Moon Tree sprout and produce new elves. Chromie felt nothing but calm in his mind since his mission was finally coming to an end. An abnormal life had resulted in an abnormal way of thinking, and Chromie who had sacrificed too many things was abnormal since long ago, he felt nothing but tired now.
[Nothing at all!] the will of the Moon Tree chuckled.
Chromie then felt the Moonlight Ring on his finger giving off a gentle light, as well as the Tome of Sacrifice he had always carried with him flying out by itself.
The Tome of Sacrifice was opened by an invisible force and flipped until the very last page, displaying the final spell in it to Chromie.
[Sacrifice the soul: Produce a miracle]
[A so-called miracle is something with an abysmally low chance or even an impossible occurrence. The kind of miracle produced by a normal soul is insignificant to us, but you are different Chromie. As the Chosen One of this world, the laurel crown in your soul is the most crucial weight to equate the scales]
[Only then, only such a miracle would allow me to break off my connection with this world] the will of the Moon Tree grinned as he explained: [To sacrifice is to offer up a weight in hope of obtaining equivalent power, this is the knowledge that I learned from those damned polyhedrons- the scales of equivalent exchange, a power that results from change]
[Chromie, each of your sacrifices was an offering of your weight to request corresponding power; but in reality, the power granted to you far surpassed the weights you offered up, our scales had been completely tilted]
[And now, this knowledge I’ve told you has made up for the last bit of difference. The scales have tilted, sacrifice your soul, Chromie!] the will of the Moon declared with laughter.
The Tome of Sacrifice in front of Chromie immediately gave off blinding light. His spirit sight saw a grand scale that was full of chips on the will of the Moon Tree’s side, while his side only had a few severed organs and body parts, which could not keep the scales balanced at all. Under this power, his soul was summarily sucked away, activating the final spell within the Tome of Sacrifice.
After Chromie’s soul was sacrificed, his body would then become an empty shell, just right for the will of the Moon Tree to take over when he was cut off from the Moon Tree world, granting him the Moon Tree sprout’s power and the resources to restart everything in another world.
“Shhh, take a look here, I found a stray world spirit, we can try to catch it. A world spirit will give us the power to boast for at least a few days, let’s try to slowly approach it from behind” a shameless voice cut off the will of the Moon Tree’s wonderful vision of the future. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
The reason Killer J had stuck close to Chromie in the past was to plant hidden hostility on his body, which allowed him to track and pursue him. The will of the Moon Tree was able to predict this, so he had Chromie take him to the deepest part of the Aspect of Silence. Never did he think that would still not be enough.
The will of the Moon Tree’s expression was horrible.
This place is supposed to be the deepest part of the Aspect of Silence, other than Chromie who had obtained the corresponding authority, no one should be able to go so far… no, there was one other person.
As expected, he turned around to see Killer J and Noah sitting on the shoulders of a large lanky figure. Their upper half appeared to be elven, but their lower half was nothing but a mass of bluish mud water.
After devouring the remains of the Dim Silence Envoy, the Gear of Impurity Negary had created within Darr’s body no longer mutated but caused him to fall into slumber. It was only now that he had finally digested everything belonging to the Dim Silence Envoy. While he didn’t have the authority of the Aspect of Silence, he now had the ability to traverse it as he pleased, considering he was once this place’s God.
[That’s impossible, the Dim Silence Envoy’s power can only be inherited through the elven bloodline. While Darr had elven bloodline in the past, it was already cut away several years ago]
The will of the Moon Tree had the absolute ability to sense all elves, and it was because Darr’s elven bloodline had suddenly disappeared one day that he didn’t pay too much attention to him.
The will of the Moon Tree had assumed that Negary wasn’t confident in breaking his absolute control over the elves, so he chose to give up on Darr. Even if Negary hadn’t given up on Darr, as soon as an elf appeared in this world, he would still be able to sense it, which was why he wasn’t afraid that Negary might use Darr for something.
This was also the truth, as the will of the Moon Tree originally came into existence thanks to the Elven race, Negary still didn’t have a way to cut off his absolute control over the elves. However, since the Dim Silence Envoy wasn’t dead and had continued to survive, Darr found it much simpler to inherit his power.
The Dim Silence Envoy, as an Elven Lord God, had also been constantly looking for a way to escape the will of the Moon Tree’s control. With their cooperation, Negary successfully altered Darr’s elven bloodline. The current Darr might have the appearance of an elf, but he couldn’t be considered an elf, which was why he had slept for so long.
While the will of the Moon Tree shouted ‘impossible’, he was secretly urging Chromie to complete the final spell of the Tome of Sacrifice—— Soul Sacrifice. While the scales of equivalent exchange had been irreversibly tilted, perhaps it was because of Chromie’s resistance, the spell was activating much slower than anticipated.
“Ahahaha”
Chromie’s soul had now landed on the scales, together with everything he had ever sacrificed. Right at the moment before his soul was about to be sacrificed, he was actually more complete than ever.
A few flowers of light blue color drifted out from his soul, causing Chromie to kneel on top of the scales, crying and laughing at the same time as he reached his hand towards the flowers.
Like Kunier had said, our souls have never been free, but to be able to make a choice and be with her until the very end, isn’t that already enough?
[NO!!!!] the will of the Moon Tree sensed himself being cut off from the world. This was originally supposed to be a joyous thing, but the incandescent blade of hostility had already pierced through his body.
On the other hand, Noah had caught Chromie’s soulless body, the Moon Tree sprout was shining as it appeared from Chromie’s forehead. Killer J and Noah exchanged glances, knowing it was time for them to save the world.
