Chapter 122. 184 Days. Consequences.

Liu Shu couldn't believe her own stats. She was looking over and over, but the numbers didn't change. 'Why are they so large?'

The World Tree expected her stats to reach around 300 points, which was already really high. However, even her weakest stat was in the 500 mark. That's not a tiny difference. It was ridiculously high.

Therefore, Liu Shu started looking at everything that increased her stats. Soon, she found her answer. 'The branch accessories have evolved to Level 10 Low-Grade Flawed Level...'

Low-Grade artifacts were incredibly powerful. The stats they gave were enough to make a mediocre person capable of fighting above their weight class.

The stats these three branches gave were the prime example of that.

[Level 10 Sylvanium Branch (Low-Grade Flawed Level)]

Aether (+100), Physique (+100), Anima (+100), Willpower (+100).

[Level 10 Cognium Branch (Low-Grade Flawed Level)]

+550 Aether Mana

+550 Phoer

+550 Anima Energy

Aether (+50), Physique (+50), Anima (+50), Willpower (+100).

Skill: You can use it to gain 2 Cognium Shards a day.

Note: A powerful accessory only suitable for World Trees. It has incredibly profound latent potential, which is far from being brought out. As Levels and Tiers increase, the true shape of this masterpiece will come alight.

Liu Shu was stunned. 'In total, they give 200 Aether, 250 Physique, 200 Anima, and 250 Willpower... That's even more stats than what Flor has when all the buffs apply to her.'

Finally realizing why her estimate was so different, Liu Shu pondered about what to do now. 'First, I need to check the situation of my surroundings. Then, I can plan about everything else.'

<World Tree Eye> was swiftly deployed, and her vision and aura swept the surroundings in an instant. 'Huh? What happened? Who are these people?'

She could see that her walls were not pristine, as if there had been battles. Moreover, her <Mother Of Thousand Flower Field> had been cut down, leaving nothing behind. Thankfully for Liu Shu, completely destroying the defensive structure was almost impossible unless the roots were damaged beyond repair. From what Liu Shu noticed, the Flower Field was just mowed down. Hence, there wasn't any risk of it dying off in the short term. Much less with her consciously being here as well, which allowed her to focus her energy on its recovery.

One of the man's followers commented. "Leader, why are you still waiting?"

The Level 20 spoke. "Trees are a bit slow to answer. I've seen trees answering a few hours later. Moreover, this World Tree has just woken up. It is normal that it is having some difficulty answering."

One woman at the side sneered. "Trees are really st-."

Bang!

Malachai, the leader of the group, moved with a speed that the naked eye would have a hard time following and smacked that woman flying. "World Tree's can hear everything. Control your mouth."

The woman quickly stood up, even when her legs were wobbly, and bowed. "S-Sorry, sir."

Malachai ignored her and looked at the World Tree again, smiling. "Sorry for that. I will wait for a while for your answer."

Liu Shu naturally caught the entire interaction and sneered. 'Those in my houses have already said worse than what that woman was about to say, so don't worry. I'll deal with you depending on how Flor is doing right now.'

Liu Shu had many things she wanted to do, check her summoning, the new quest, test her powers, see how many berries she could produce, etc.

But who would've thought that something like this would happen?

"L-Lady World Tree! We are here!"

Her roots started piercing the walls and spreading around the entire place, and as soon as her first root appeared, she noticed a presence shooting toward her root and punching with incredible physical strength.

BOOM!

However...

[-241]

The strike's damage was quite a pathetic number compared to Liu Shu's over 100,000 Phoer Body Shards. The creature who punched exclaimed, "What!? How is it so tough!? Wait..."

The Rose Fairy quickly exclaimed. "L-Lady Ignatia! Don't attack! It is-."

The voluptuous Ant Queen exclaimed like never before, her voice filled with surprise and joy. "Liu Shu!? Is it you!?"

Liu Shu had never seen the always-calm Ant Queen like this before. In her mind, Ignatia was impassive and always cold-minded. Yet, in just a bit more than half a year, the woman sounded so different. She couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. 'Ignatia... I am here. Sorry.'

Ignatia's face had a hard time expressing emotions because of her compound eyes. However, Liu Shu could see her lips arching softly. "Don't worry, little one. Now that you are awake, everything will be alright... Well." Ignatia paused, her face showing a bit of sadness. "Almost everything. Come."

Liu Shu's roots followed Ignatia and arrived where Flor was lying. Seeing the Rose Fairy Queen's current appearance, the entire earth began trembling as the roots of the World Tree writhed with seething anger.

No wings.

One arm missing.

One leg mangled beyond recognition.

Then, her face pale as paper.

Analyzing her, Liu Shu realized that even her maximum Phoer Body Shards had been reduced to half their original size.

Phoer Body Shards: 3,495/4,600

Ignatia was clenching her fist, but feeling the raising aura of the World Tree, she knew that vengeance was close. "It was those above and another group, Liu Shu."

A voice that Ignatia had never heard coming from Liu Shu slammed around the walls of the cave. 'Where are the Sylvans? What happened!?'

Ignatia shook her head. "Before they died, a woman appeared and snatched them away. And what happened? Well... Around four months ago..."
