A true miracle has occurred.
This widespread Incantations far exceeded any of Nausicaä's previous abilities in terms of scope and intensity.
The Erdtree Mark unfolded above the Mining Town, covering an area of nearly ten square kilometers below. A golden torrent surged forth from the imprint, enveloping every person and every inch of land within its range in a healing rain brimming with powerful vitality.
Nausicaä stood still high in the sky, golden light gathering beneath her feet, as if she were walking on a golden plain.
Within this continuously released Erdtree Heal zone, as long as a trace of life remains, and as long as the soul has not completely returned to Void, it can be rapidly healed under the nourishment of golden light.
But that's not enough. Simply healing wounds cannot remove the rubble pressing down on survivors, nor can it create a path through the collapsed structure.
However, Nausicaä at this moment was no longer the same person she had been before. Facing a life-or-death crisis and with her mental strength enhanced, the barrier that had always stood in her way was completely shattered.
In order to save the suffering people on this land, she chose to complete another elevation of the essence of life at this moment.
She became a " Knight Level ".
Golden flames erupted from her body, illuminating her as if she were a god descended to earth.
Immediately afterwards, her signature short red hair turned a pale gold under the surge of Rune energy, and she used " Divine Descent " once again.
Spanning hundreds of kilometers, the Golden Rune originating from the Erdtree of the Valley of the Wind continuously flowed into his body.
This time, however, Nausicaä was using the strength of Knight Level Blessed to bear this immense power. Unlike her previous attempt, where even moving her body was extremely difficult, this time, she could clearly sense the flow of every bit of energy and control it freely.
Nausicaä clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and the golden torrent within her transformed under her will. The golden color gradually deepened, eventually turning into a golden-red color full of primal life force, representing the Crucible of Life.
She closed her eyes, and her powerful spiritual talent spread out like an invisible net.
Those whose emotions were most intense, those who were plunged into extreme grief, those who prayed silently in despair, those who held onto a resolute determination, and all those who devoutly called upon the name of the " Erdtree " in their hearts, were all taken into her perception.
The next moment, countless golden-red meteors fell from the sky and landed on the chosen person.
The ancient and primitive Power of the Crucible is not very sophisticated; Incantations mostly involve condensing furnace characteristics to launch physical attacks.
But there is one thing that no other law can match – unparalleled physical strength!
There is no need to grieve over a lack of strength.
Faced with a difficult choice, the mother's arms instantly filled with golden-red energy. She turned her wailing into a low growl and with one hand lifted up the heavy steel beam, which was thicker than her and was pressing down on her two children!
"For I will give you the courage to break free from your chains."
Golden and red light wrapped around the father who was using his back to support his daughter as she fell from the floor. He roared at the sky like a wild beast, and with a lift of his arms, he actually managed to lift the broken floorboard, which covered an area of several tens of square meters, above his head!
"Those who are prepared to sacrifice themselves can receive the power of salvation."
The two brothers, whose abdomens had been pierced by the same steel pipe, exchanged a glance, their eyes blazing with golden-red flames. At the same time, they reached out and grabbed the cold metal that had pierced their bodies, snapping it in two!
These people may have been weak, but they all have a burning will to fight for their loved ones and a willingness to sacrifice for others.
So, through Nausicaä, Mu En lent them this power originating from the ancient furnace.
In an instant, hundreds or even thousands of golden and red lights lit up on the ruins, and every survivor or rescuer who received the Power of the Crucible transformed into a human crane.
They tore down walls, moved boulders, and ripped apart steel bars with their bare hands; nothing could stop them from rescuing people.
Several tens of minutes later, as the rain of life gradually stopped and the borrowed Power of the Crucible gradually faded due to the severe depletion of physical strength, the last trapped person was lifted out from the depths of the ruins.
The rescue operation is now concluded.
Apart from those who tragically perished in the initial shelling and the collapse caused by the giant ship's takeoff, remarkably, no one died during the entire rescue operation due to insufficient rescue efforts or severe injuries!
This is a miracle that cannot be described in any language; it is a blessing bestowed by a merciful deity.
Nausicaä gently flapped her wings of light and slowly landed on the high platform where representatives from various countries were gathered.
What followed was a deafening roar, erupting from every corner of the Mining Town and converging into a torrent that shook the heavens and the earth.
"We survived! We all survived!"
"Thank you, Valley of the Wind! Thank you, Princess Nausicaä!"
" The Erdtree —Ode to the Erdtree! Long live the Erdtree!"
The sounds were chaotic and fervent, most of them devout prayers from the " Erdtree," which displayed supreme power.
Even Nausicaä could vaguely sense an incredibly powerful force of faith rising from the earth and converging towards the distant horizon.
Led by a few emotionally charged individuals, large numbers of survivors knelt before Nausicaä, the messenger of the gods, on the high platform.
Nausicaä's gaze swept over the kneeling crowd below, including merchants, travelers, and commoners from various countries.
But the largest number of people, and the ones who suffered the most, were the residents of the Mining Town who were betrayed by their former "town mayor"—the ordinary miners and their families.
Then, her voice was broadcast to every survivor via mental energy. "Lord Erdtree said he doesn't need these formalities."
"Now, you have more important things to do: clear the rubble, sort the goods, and assess the damage."
She paused, then her voice rose even higher. "Because we still have a blood debt to settle with the culprits who caused all this!"
"Go! Do what you are supposed to do now, and then, prepare for the coming war."
"Get ready!"
As soon as the words were spoken, nearly 80% of the survivors seemed to be infused with new souls; their eyes no longer held only gratitude, but also a burning flame of revenge.
They acted in silence, determined to avenge Gore, the traitor who had turned their home to ruins and killed their loved ones and friends!
After doing all this, her short, light golden hair, which had been moving without wind, turned red again, and the aura of majesty and divinity around her that made people afraid to look directly at her gradually subsided, returning her to the familiar appearance of a young girl. " Nausicaä, could it be that you—" At this moment, Haideng dared to speak boldly.
The Nausicaä had just floated in the air, wielding life and power, was filled with inhuman divinity, making him hesitant to approach and speak to her.
Nausicaä knew what he wanted to ask, and calmly shook her head. "No, that was merely a temporary borrowing of authority from the Erdtree. The true power of a god is far more vast than that."
Haideng fell into a daze.
His previous understanding of "divine power" was nothing more than superhuman combat ability or powerful healing effects.
But the phantom of the Divine Tree that covered the sky just now, the scene that gave thousands of mortals the power to split mountains and shatter rocks—was simply a great power on par with the changes in celestial phenomena and the laws of nature!
That was an existence as incredible as the legends!
Nausicaä didn't give him more time to process the shock; she turned to look at the representatives of various countries on the high platform, each with a different expression.
"Gentlemen, let's now discuss the formation of the 'Coalition of the Sea of Corruption Nations'."
