[Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!]
As Yucheng pressed his palms together, vast amounts of chakra poured into the earth. Immediately afterward, the entire ground began to tremble, and countless tangled trees sprang out of nowhere like bamboo shoots after rain.
Every tree that emerged was several meters thick, twisting and stretching like prehistoric serpents, enough to make anyone's scalp prickle.
These trees steadily filled the hollow underground space while also propping up the precariously teetering Sumeru City.
The process lasted less than ten minutes before all of Sumeru City was firmly secured, surrounded and cradled by layer upon layer of newly emerged trees.
Yucheng had so easily resolved the imminent threat of collapse that Nahida and the others were left dumbfounded.
Paimon even sneaked behind Nahida's back to whisper in Lumine's ear, "Don't you think Yucheng seems more like the Dendro Archon than Nahida does?"
Of course, she had meant no disrespect toward Nahida. She was simply voicing her feelings after witnessing such an astonishing sight.
Having resolved the crisis, Yucheng clapped his hands and returned to the others, saying casually, "All done. Job finished."
At the same time, he muttered inwardly, I'm probably the first person to use a devastating move like Deep Forest Emergence for something like this, aren't I?
Come to think of it, I seem pretty good at using a cannon to kill a mosquito. I already used Kamui to deliver takeout before, so using Deep Forest Emergence as load-bearing beams now counts as pursuing fairness in a way, right?
Seeing how effortlessly Yucheng had handled it, Nahida's shock went without saying. At the same time, she became less resistant to signing a Summoning Contract with him.
With that connection, Sumeru and Inazuma would share more than a simple partnership. That was also a good thing
