He walked through the palace and reached the inside of the Golden Tree, but it was not over yet because at the entrance of the Golden Tree, thorn-like barriers had been set up to seal the gate. Duanmu Huai was not surprised. He had heard from Lani that since Marika’s disappearance, the entrance to the whole Golden Tree has been sealed off, with no one able to enter, not even the King Elden.

But now ……

Duanmu Huai gripped his War Hammer tightly, and very quickly, the Black Flame billowed out. He then lifted his War Hammer and forcefully smashed the wall of thorns in front of him!

“Bang!!”

The War Hammer heavily hit the wall of thorns. Soon, the Black Flame exploded out, spreading along the Golden Tree. The Golden Tree, originally glowing with golden light, was now set aflame by the Black Flame. The burning fire started from the inside and moved from bottom to top, gradually consuming the entire tree. At the same time, patches of crimson points, like burning Mars, started to appear between the leaves, spreading to every corner of the Borderland.

...

Under the veil of Mars, all those creatures that were unable to die in the Borderland fell one after another. The Golden Law that was associated with the Golden Tree began to fade away, along with death—the natural eternally unchanging law returned to its place, and the twisted order formed by the Golden Law began to gradually disappear from the Borderland.

“Crack… Crack…”

The originally sealed wall of thorns burned out in the flames. Duanmu Huai, carrying his War Hammer, boldly walked into the interior of the Golden Tree.

At this moment, the interior of the Golden Tree was in complete darkness. The Black Flame ruthlessly devoured the body of the Golden Tree. Duanmu Huai seemed to be able to hear the painful cries and screams of the Golden Tree. However, it was meaningless because the one who was destroying the Golden Tree was the power of the Rune of Death, a force expelled from the law, which exists as the shadow of the world.

For it, the Golden Tree in front of it had neither value nor meaning.

For Duanmu Huai, the only valuable thing in front of him was………

“Is that the Eternal Queen?”

Duanmu Huai lifted his head, looking at the only shining existence in the tree hollow. It was a battered female figure. Her head was now drooping down as if she was completely dead. Her hands were restricted by golden arcs, hanging like a prisoner in the air.

As expected, it seems that Lani’s conjecture was correct. Marika ultimately failed in her fight against the Supreme Will, and her body was now suspended—however, this would now end.

But soon Duanmu Huai realized that things were not over just yet.

“Clink…”

The arc that was imprisoning Marika shattered, and the now-restrained Marika’s broken body fell from the air and fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, a weird large hand stretched out from the ground and grabbed Marika’s body, pulling it into the Golden Tree.

What was that?

Looking at the strange hand in front of him, Duanmu Huai’s face tightened. He initially thought that was the Finger on stage now, but a strange-looking large alien-like entity slowly emerged from the ground. It had a semi-transparent body, with the inside clearly visible like golden-glowing root filaments. However, this creature had no face, nor were there any facial features visible. Moreover, Duanmu noticed that within the body of this creature, many of the glowing filaments have started to dim.

I see, this is the Beast of Aleden?

According to Lani’s statement, initially, the Supreme Will from the sky brought the seeds of the Golden Tree, the beast guarding the Golden Tree, and the finger expressing the will of the Supreme Will to the Borderland.

Now it seems that this guy is most likely the Gardener of the Golden Tree.

If a Gardener sees his hard-cultivated tree being burned down by someone, he would definitely be furious—and indeed, the behavior of the Beast of Aleden quickly confirmed this point.

“———————!!!”

The Beast of Aleden threw its head back and flew into the air. The world became a star-like universe, and with the motions of the Beast, hundreds of golden meteors appeared at its side, roaring towards Duanmu Huai.

However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai did not take action immediately, instead, standing still.

It wasn’t that Duanmu Huai was scared, but… this creature, he had seen it before!

As a matter of fact, this so-called Beast of Aleden was the subordinate of some overwhelmingly powerful existence in the universe……

Wait, if this creature is here to protect the Golden Tree, then the Supreme Will behind it is……

Upon realizing this, Duanmu Huai turned pale. He felt cold sweat pouring down.

No! He must destroy the Golden Tree! He must completely cut off the connection between this world and the Supreme Will, or else he’ll be in big trouble!

At this moment, Duanmu Huai decisively made up his mind. Then, gripping his War Hammer, he charged straight at the Beast of Aleden!

“Bang Bang Bang Bang!!”

Golden bursts of light hit Duanmu Huai. However, he had no intentions of dodging them at this moment. If previously Duanmu Huai still planned to play with this beast, upon discovering the true nature of this creature, he was now in a mode of complete tension.

Screw the games, if he doesn’t kill it now, he’ll be in big trouble!!

The jetpack, boosted once more, breaks through the Beast of Alden’s torrent of flame. At this moment, Duanmu Huai was entirely enshrouded in towering Black Flames. Staring at the massive Beast of Alden before his eyes, he roars, raising his War Hammer and charges forward—in the next instant, trailing a long, dark shadow, he shoots through the body of the Beast of Alden. Without any hesitation, the War Hammer in his hand smashes into a certain light source within the beast’s body. What follows is a terrible scream from the Beast of Alden as its entire body swell up and burst like a balloon, crashing heavily onto the ground.

On the other side, Duanmu Huai, having passed through the Beast of Alden’s body, lands heavily on the ground. After a few tumbles, he barely manages to stabilize himself. He had poured nearly all of his strength into that strike, and the reactive force from such an explosion, even for someone as robust as Duanmu Huai, was somewhat overwhelming.

No, it should be said that…

“Damn.”

Duanmu Huai extends a hand and rubs his waist.

To think that the Princess, who looks so innocent, romantic, lively, and cute, would be so terrifying– nearly sucked him dry!

Well, of course, his lack of experience was also a contributing factor… Regardless, experience is critically important in any situation.

“———!———!!”

At this moment, the heavily wounded Beast of Alden is standing before Duanmu Huai. A massive gaping hole has been blown into its body, the light-like branches within its body gradually dimming. Duanmu Huai, however, isn’t concerned about this minor detail. He knows—it’s not over yet!

Sure enough, as the Beast of Alden struggles, the ground suddenly splits, and a massive hand reaches out, grabbing the body of the Beast of Alden, and gives it a powerful squeeze. The massive beast disintegrates, turning into golden sparkles that fade away. The giant hand then extends its five fingers, pointing towards Duanmu Huai.

After dealing with the guard dog comes the owner, right…

“Ogis, Lorena, Bambi! Together!!”

Accompanying Duanmu Huai’s yell, the girls hiding by the side, already prepared, quickly spring into action.

“Wow, they’re coming down!!”

Countless black bats descend from the sky, fully engulfing the giant hand. But it is quickly evident as the fingers engulfed by the swarm of bats suddenly expand, and a golden flame bursts out, instantly incinerating most of Bambi’s summoned bats.

“Ah—————!!”

As the bats concealing her figure are wiped out, Bambi’s figure is revealed. She quickly screams and backs away, but the giant hand has no intention of letting her go. It extends its five fingers and stretches them out towards Bambi.

“Attack!!!!!!!!!”

Between a moment and the next, Lorena, holding the Sacred Book, descends from the sky, and wielding the brick-thick Sacred Book, she smashes it onto a finger of the giant hand, altering its course. Immediately after, Ogis appears on the other side. Her hands spread out and the slender puppet strings extend, wrapping around the finger of the giant hand.

To the giant hand, Ogis’s puppet strings are as fragile as the webs of a spider and nearly irrelevant—mostly, they just pause it for a second.

But that’s enough.

Just as the giant hand is being bound by Ogis’s puppet strings, Lani silently appears from amongst the shadows. She tightly grips the “Finger Killing Knife” in her hand, and attacks the giant hand in front of her!!

“———————!!”

At this moment, the hand seems to sense Lani’s threat. Instantly, the golden flame bursts out again and, spiralling together with the yellow Wildfire, rushes towards Lani.

However, quickly, black flames descend from the sky. Duanmu Huai, holding the War Hammer, turns into a meteor crossing the sky, landing in front of Lani. The Black Flames erupt from his body, forming a shield that blocks the golden flame of the Supreme Will. At that moment, when the golden fire shows a sign of weakness, Lani seizes the opportunity. With a flash, she passes through it. Then, the small knife forcefully cuts down, striking the junction between the middle and index fingers.

“!!!”

Theoretically, for such a giant finger, a knife smaller than its nail, it shouldn’t cause any damage. However, the reality is that after Lani’s knife pierces it, the hand reacted as if it had received severe damage, flailing wildly about. It flings Lani and Ogis away. Duanmu Huai also leaps away, grabbing the two of them, and under the protection of Bambi’s bats, they quickly evacuate. @@novelbin@@

Then, under everyone’s gaze, the giant hand thrashes about and strikes wildly like it’s been poisoned. But in the end—— it squirts a dark red blood, and its entire finger turns an eerie dark blue, fully collapsing without a sound, becoming utterly lifeless, transforming into a completely dead corpse.

“Phew………”

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai quietly breathes a sigh of relief, silently praying in his heart.

This time it died so fast, it shouldn’t…

However, as if to specifically counteract Duanmu Huai, just as he’s forming a thought in his mind, the system’s notification chimes, and then, a system alert appears before Duanmu Huai’s eyes.

[Your actions have captured the attention of a great being]

[Attention level +10]

“………”

Upon seeing this, Duanmu Huai… just completely lost for words.
