The Great Mother Tree of Desire

"Lueran!"

"Naval Commander, Admiral Amyrius, roared loudly."

"Your Excellency, General."

A young man with blond hair and blue eyes, dressed in a tuxedo, quickly appeared and bowed.

"Go to the port and wipe out those pirates!"

Amyrius was furious at this challenge to the dignity of the state, but the aura emanating from the Governor's Mansion was clearly that of Demigod. After weighing his options, he could only order his men to deal with the situation at the port.

"Yes."

Lueran remained expressionless, quickly turned around, and led a group of naval soldiers towards the port.

After giving the order, Amyrius ignored the port and headed towards the Governor's Mansion, quickly disappearing from sight.

Unbeknownst to him, inside the villa, watching his departing figure and listening to the commotion outside, his mistress Cynthia looked worried. The young and beautiful woman hesitated for a long time before finally opening a drawer in her dressing table and taking out a necklace.

It was a peculiar necklace pendant, with what appeared to be a rhinoceros horn shrunk to the size of a fingertip.

Cynthia clutched the "rhinoceros horn" tightly in her palm, stood before the dressing table, and prayed softly:

"The great [Mother Tree of Desire]."

"Please bless Admiral Amyrius, so that he may be invincible and annihilate the enemy."

Perhaps it was psychological, but Cynthia felt as if something had glanced at her, which gave her a slight sense of comfort and eased her tension.

In the Square in front of the Governor's Mansion.

"Brush!"

Upon seeing Luther land on the ground, transforming into a knight clad in black armor, the Demon Hunter from Feysac immediately sensed hostility. Without hesitation, he too began preparing for battle.

The brilliant morning light gathered on his body, eventually transforming into a set of silver-white armor, including gauntlets, breastplate, and a crown-shaped helmet. His already extremely tall body grew even taller, making him look like a medium-sized Giant!

The silver knight versus the black knight!

The silver knight appeared taller and more imposing, while the black knight seemed more profound and terrifying, driving people mad.

"Oh"

Luther sneered, and a dark shadow stirred beneath his feet.

He could sense two powerful auras rapidly approaching from afar; they were likely the admiral and the Deputy Director of MI9. He had better finish the fight before they arrived.

"Go to hell."

Luther's eyes, hidden beneath his helmet, suddenly flashed Red Light, staring directly into the eyes of the knight opposite him. His throat moved slightly, and he uttered a Filth Degeneration Curse.

Boom!

The silver knight's body seemed to sway almost imperceptibly, but the effect was not particularly noticeable. As a "Demon Hunter," he possessed a certain degree of resistance to evil.

But this was only the beginning of Luther's attack. Just as he uttered the "Language of Foulness," the shadow beneath him began to spread, writhing like a living thing.

From the shadows, two things slowly emerged.

One of them was a deep red, covered in rust, making it impossible to discern its true appearance; one could only sense a slight upward curve at the corners of its mouth, as if it were smiling mockingly. The other was entirely black, exuding an aura of extreme Degeneration and madness.

"Ah!"

The moment Sophia Einhorn saw the red figure, she screamed, a deep-seated fear washing over her, making her tremble. The red figure merely smiled at her before launching an attack on the silver knight.

The black figure followed closely behind.

The red entity is naturally Medici's three-in-one evil spirit. After Luther advanced to the "Black Knight," he could release a separate soul, which would then be able to unleash its full power. He no longer needed to borrow the power of the sea to release his soul!

Sophia was exactly what Medici had asked for, so she deserved to come out and do the work.

The black one is called the "Fallen Shadow," its origin being the Degeneration will within Luther's mind. After merging with the shadow, it can transform into a purely independent being, possessing immense power.

Luther watched as the "Fallen Shadow" completely ignored the "Demon Hunter" and focused all his attention on the terrified Sophia.

It still doesn't work.

He could only end the summoning and let the will return to his body.

The biggest problem with "Fallen Shadow" is that it is not under one's control. Although powerful and capable of Corrosion Degeneration enemies, it is uncontrollable. Therefore, after a brief appearance, it was taken back into Luther's body.

In the instant he switched, Medici had already engaged the Demon Hunter in combat.

"Boom!"

Pillars of fire, tinged with a bluish-white hue, rose one after another. Instead of extinguishing, they transformed into fiery serpents, spiraling downwards as they continued their pursuit of their "prey"—the Demigod "Demon Hunter" who dodged the flames with astonishing speed.

The Square was gradually filled with the flames.

"You're really quick-witted."

Medici manipulated the flames while taunting his opponent, "Such a large body, yet you run away as slippery as a rat. Could it be that you, this so-called Demon Hunter, are hunting worms from burrows?"

The silver-armored Giant gave him a deep look. While dodging the flames, he suddenly turned around without warning, increased his speed, and appeared in front of Medici in a flash of Silver Light!

Behind the silver helmet, two mysterious symbols in the depths of his eyes glowed with a dark green light, already indicating Medici's weakness.

Medici is a necromancer!

While dodging the flames, the "Demon Hunter" Demigod had secretly applied a special ointment to his Twin Swords. This ointment was specifically designed to target evil spirits, and with the enhancement of his own "Demon Hunter" power, it could unleash two hundred percent of its strength!

Medici merely sneered as the Twin Swords, specifically designed to counter undead, came crashing down upon him.

The weakness that the "Hunter" deliberately reveals is, of course, a trap.

"Boom!"

The flames reignited, and Luther's figure suddenly appeared behind the "Demon Hunter." The dark Greatsword in his hand swung like the wind, imbued with a terrifying power that annihilated souls and bodies.

"Flaming Jump!"

How is that possible?

Behind the silver helmet, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the "Witcher" Demigod. He had never seen a "Black Knight" who could Grazing two souls at the same time!

"Clang!"

In that critical moment, he could only barely twist his body to bring his Twin Swords back in front of him, blocking the fatal blow.

"Snap!"

The Twin Swords held out for only a moment before emitting a barely persevering noise, as if tiny, invisible cracks were forming on their surfaces. But the "Witcher" Demigod had no time to worry about that. As he fought off the attack from behind, Medici struck, extending his flaming hands and piercing through the Giant's abdomen!

"Puff!"

Blood, accompanied by sound, flew up and was quickly burned into Steam the flames.

At the same time, two powerful figures had already arrived above the Square.

Deputy Director Qonas and General Amyrius!
