The space before him looked quite vast, but in fact there wasn't much room. The sky and the ground were all made of constantly writhing tree roots. It was clear that these roots were extremely frenzied.
Among the roots, a woman's hand was caught fast.
The figure before him, which looked like a patch of light and shadow, had emerged from that hand.
At that moment, the hand was also suppressing the roots. That was why Liu Zhi hadn't been killed the instant he entered.
But it was obvious that Hela didn't seem to want to keep suppressing the roots.
This was a real headache for Liu Zhi. Naturally, he could leave at any time, but doing so would mean giving up on pursuing the Hela lead.
So Liu Zhi reached out and pointed ahead. When a root shot toward him, he knocked it flying.
Then he poured a force of Harvest Divinity into the root.
After doing all that, Liu Zhi fixed his gaze on Hela. "I don't want to fight you. You can see that I can leave at any time. I could even cause you some trouble on my way out."
As Liu Zhi spoke, he pointed toward the roots. Under the influence of his Harvest Divinity, the withered root seemed to regain some of its vitality.
Seeing this, Hela instead began to laugh.
"How do you know you aren't helping me?"
Liu Zhi frowned. Without giving it another thought, his body turned into a bolt of lightning, and he withdrew from the Magic Array.

"Forget it. I'll find Hades for this quest.
