More "giants" emerged from behind the smoke, and the second batch of "giants" had begun production.
Ed received fresh recruits, the players piloted bio-Gundams, and Adelaide and her two apprentices were on high alert. Everything was developing in a positive direction...
Is that right?
Obviously, some people don't think that way, such as Müller-chan, who is currently experiencing pain and acting as a "blood pump".
The players, of course, have no idea that their peaceful lives are made possible by someone bearing the burden for them.
All they knew was that three clear scarlet markers had appeared in their field of vision, and a Pixel Blue Dragon had naturally appeared below their field of vision.
Perhaps because Ed was right next to them, the Blue Dragon, which should have been just a few patches of color, appeared very clear at this moment.
She pulled out a scroll from behind her back, then slowly unfurled it and began to write and draw on it with her claws.
At the same time, three health bars appear one after another, running across the left and right sides of the screen, each corresponding to a different title:
[ The Oathbreaking Cardinal Who Plundering Weeping Willow Hunter - Cuiske ]
[ Descendant of Beast Blood, Daughter of the Hang Upside Down World, Executioner - Margaret ]
[ Ancient Evil Blood, Lord of Aberrant Curses, Absolute Punishment - Adelaide ]
"You have a health bar again!"
Having reunited with his companions and been resurrected, [ Zhongde ] couldn't help but cheer in the player channel.
What are players most afraid of?
It's not an area-of-effect attack, not a kill at first sight, and not 365 Li Road.
What players fear most is that the BOSS's health bar doesn't appear.
Now that's great, all three wishes have been fulfilled at once, so you can hit whichever one you want now!
"How... how is this possible?!"
At the same time that the players were cheering, Cuiske's movements became somewhat stiff.
Even with a thick layer of plant-based armor covering his face, he couldn't hide his panic.
He had already given up hope that any new Half-Treant Aggregate would appear, since aggregates were all those damned Low Tier that had transformed through some kind of plant-based secret technique.
All the Low Tier trash was instantly wiped out by the father in a single move!
Cuiske knew Adelaide's methods; back then, Adelaide had managed to massacre the entire Klaf City in just one hour by making subtle adjustments to the " Eye of Absolute Punishment " ability.
After conquering Klaf City, Adelaide briefly replaced the moon in the sky with her Eye of Absolute Punishment.
Those who were old, weak, sick, and disabled and turned to blood with a single glance naturally became nutrients, while those who were lucky enough to survive were selected layer by layer and eventually became ordinary cannon fodder and elite cannon fodder to enrich their own lineage.
So after Adelaide used that move, Cuiske naturally assumed that his only opponents were the three people in front of him.
Although another alchemical golem, whose origins are unknown, joined the battle later, that golem was only on the verge of reaching High Tier, not a true High Tier, and therefore not a real opponent.
But at this moment, a small crack seems to have appeared in the worldview he has built up over the past century.
With a punch that dented the alchemical golem's abdomen, Cuiske looked at Ed, who seemed somewhat exhausted from the summoning, and hissed, "..."
"Who exactly are you? Luxiusi, Sailesi, Geliwusi... who is your teacher?! Or who is your father?!"
Ed shook his head with a mocking expression:
" Cuiske, not everyone becomes stronger by finding a powerful father."
Cuiske's expression (as if it were tree bark) changed instantly.
Ed's sarcasm undoubtedly struck a chord with him. If it weren't for a unique desire for immortality and power, who would want to create a father out of thin air for themselves?
What's more, they're vampires.
But Adelaide is right here, Cuiske not only can't show it, but he has to look proud of it:
"Being granted True Blood is the greatest fortune of my life. What do you know, you idiot?"
Unexpectedly, Ed completely ignored his retort, dodging the spikes and spherical seeds raining down on him like anti- Cuiske guns, while pondering and saying:
"However... if I personally admit that I am their father, these three old guys would probably be moved to tears, right?"
Ed's words were not untrue. The Tree Worship Church had always touted itself as God's agent, and after taking over two provinces, his status as the Son of God was practically a done deal.
In order to fully establish his identity, he needed a meritorious achievement that would allow him to stand on his own two feet.
After all, they claim to be the Son of God; they should at least do something for the Tree Worship Church, right?
Ed thought the same way, so he wanted to eliminate a traitor for the Tree Worship Church.
Cuiske was his pledge of allegiance.
As for those three... if he were to voluntarily admit to having a blood relationship with those three old guys, even the youngest of them, Sailesi, would be overjoyed.
However, Ed wasn't a vampire after all, and he didn't have the habit of making people willingly acknowledge him as their father.
However, these words stunned Cuiske on the spot, and even the bullets that had been firing behind Ed slowed down a bit.
After a brief moment of astonishment, the towering tree-man looked at Ed in disbelief:
"You... the Stained Ones Project... successfully?"
Ed's one eye raised an eyebrow and looked up at Cuiske:
"You know quite a lot, huh? Are you regretting leaving the Tree Worship Church?"
Upon hearing this, Cuiske shook his head firmly:
"In any case, the Tree Worship Church is no longer relevant to me. I am now Cuiske, Cuiske Adelaide, the Vampire Duke."
Ed nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this:
"Great! If you surrender now, I'll only look down on you!"
"However, I have other things to do, so let them keep you company for now!"
With that, Ed took a step back, instantly shielding seven or eight player giants in front of him.
Compared to the kind-faced Ed, these guys looked completely inhuman.
To Cuiske, who had grown even taller than before, the giants formed by the players before him looked like people with dwarfism.
But too many dwarfs can be deadly!
Cuiske took a step back, and apart from his arms holding the Eye of Nothingness, his other four fists clenched tightly, and dozens of Aberration plants began to grow wildly on his body.
Having left the central battlefield, Ed was not trying to run away; he was now only one step away from advancing to a true High Tier.
As the World Tree, which can taste all things in the world, the opportunity it needs is a truly High Tier, regardless of whether it belongs to the same system or is of High Tier.
There are currently three such High Tier: Cuiske, Margaret, and Adelaide.
Seizing the Vitality of any one of them would be enough to propel Ed to High Tier.
But which one should you choose?
Ed gripped his knight's sword tightly, then suddenly asked another question:
" Noya, what's the matter we discussed before? How's your thinking going?"
