Chapter 941 – Robbing the Anthill (1)
“Yes, yes! Sephy likes yellow pudding better than white pudding!”
Crisp!
Sephiroth, standing in front of the captured Bam, grinned and handed her a cup of pudding.
Secondly, the kid who looks like an elementary school student exudes an indescribable sense of intimidation, and secondly, why is he bragging about pudding when he starved himself all day?
“Custard? Pudding? Such a deal!”
He’s been talking to me persistently since morning, and if I ignore him, he starts crying, and it’s very annoying.
What on earth is the World Tree of Resentment so scared of this kid that it is so anxious to see what he sees?
The believers who came to see the young Sephiroth tied up like Jesus turned and started running away as soon as they saw him.
“So, that. Why pudding?”
It’s a polite thing to say without even realizing it.
At night, unlike usual, a mysterious halo could be seen behind Sephiroth’s back.
‘Something is different. I guess that’s when my eyes suddenly started to feel strange.’
I wonder if I am starting to see with my own eyes the other person’s dishes that were unfamiliar and far away.
At night, I was able to catch a glimpse of ‘something’ that the kid named Sephiroth possessed, and at the same time, I was able to feel the fear or fear of that mighty power.
Thanks to his seemingly harmless appearance and personality, he can have a normal conversation like this, but…
“Sephy. “I want to share this pudding with you.”
“It’s not night, it’s night.”
“Bar… Baam?”
“Yes. “Night.”
“Baam… “Babamba?”
When I talk to you, I feel like I’m secretly getting on my nerves.
Who is he making fun of?
If it was a ploy to make people forget their guard, it hit the nail on the head. Babamba, no… Because the night came to recognize the kid in front of her as a strange girl rather than an incomprehensible monster.
“Bbabambabam! “Make me two of these.”
“…”
And. One more incomprehensible sound.
At night, she couldn’t figure out Sephiroth’s intentions, as he had been making strange demands every time since she was captured.
Last time it was bread, last time it was toys… Today is pudding.
It looks like he’s trying to induce something. If you know their intentions, you can pretend to ignore them and get along with them. What can you do with me?
“I can’t do that. “Because it’s not a world tree.”
“Ugh, no! Sephy is smart!”
“Okay, I hope you’re smart. But I’m stupid.”
“No!! If Sephy says it’s right, she’s right!!!! Babam is a world tree, a wonderful tree that fell off due to parthenogenesis!”
Danseong, what?
Even though she didn’t even have a high school education, she couldn’t believe her ears.
“Well, me. Just a few days ago, I was a person who was packing up leftover gimbap while inhaling heavy metals from hard work, right? “If you don’t explain it at eye level, you won’t know.”
“World Tree of Prosperity!”
“Prosperity… ?”
“Yes, a chestnut tree just like a babam!”
I’ve heard of that name.
Even a child, no matter how uneducated, cannot be unaware of prosperity, the highest world tree.
Saint of the World Tree. If there is a tree saint, it must be her. The god of abundance and prosperity whom everyone cried out for.
The World Tree of Prosperity, the enemy that would unite the Three People Church, which was on the verge of division, was the female tree, the symbol of the most peaceful tree and the one with the most believers.
‘… I heard a lot of rumors.’
Bam carefully listed in his head the stories he had heard.
The being who leads the largest number of ‘human’ believers in the world. The Virgin Mary sees everything equally.
Azelin, the saint who represented her, is said to serve everyone, including those of her religion, with open arms and her cute appearance makes her popularity skyrocket.
‘However. ‘I have the same species name as that world tree?’
What kind of bullshit is this?
Bam asked Sephiroth, not believing her ears. Sephiroth still pointed his finger at the night with a bright and cheerful expression.
“You too, chestnut!”
“… ?”
“The world tree of prosperity is the chestnut tree!”
Beech (Fagus multinervis).
Contrary to its name, the beech tree, a type of oak tree, is a tree species imprinted in the genes of chestnuts. It also became the origin of the name Chestnut, which resembles a squirrel.
“You too, chestnut?”
I wonder where in the world a name like that can be found, but these days it’s harder to find a name that doesn’t exist.
“Yes, the language of flowers. Prosperity!”
“!”
“The successor to the world tree of prosperity!”
Sephiroth smiled brightly, revealing his baby teeth and revealing the shocking truth. The night immediately frowned.
“Heir? What kind of nonsense is that? And, well. I don’t know if the species name is the same. Are you saying that the World Tree of Prosperity is my biological mother?”
“Sephy, I don’t know much about that.”
Are you suddenly closing your mouth here?
At night, when I couldn’t bear to curse at my child, I sighed and broke into a cold sweat.
‘I just.’
She is just a vagabond who was abandoned with her older sister.
He suddenly started talking strangely, and my mind couldn’t follow the story.
If your lineage is the same as the World Tree of Prosperity. Why was I treated like that and raised to be an assassin by this church?
It’s absurd.
You have to embellish your words appropriately for them to believe you.
However, if the person who said those words was the World Tree of Knowledge, the story would be different.
In fact, since I came here at night, I have had the experience of opening my eyes and seeing the flow of the world in a completely different way.
“Therefore. Let me share this! Bappam can do it!”
At night, she thought as she looked at the pudding that she couldn’t even hold with her own hands.
‘How can we share this without even using our hands?’
No matter how hard you concentrate. The pudding is the same.
What should I do? Will anything change if I shout it out loud? Divide, divide, divide… Please share. I would appreciate it if you could stop sharing this persistent little boy so that he never talks to me again.
“Okay.”
“A little more, fighting! Infuse the power with a sigh! Like this!”
What is authority? How do you do it?
Sephiroth raised her hand in front of Night’s eyes and made a bright yellow flower appear on her hand.
The power of ‘knowledge’ to create something from nothing!
Night asked in confusion at the sight of the golden light that briefly shimmered in her vision.
“What is that?”
Scared. I don’t know about that.
I want to go and finish the hard work I was doing.
-Growling.
Did I get a signal when I saw the pudding after starving all day? As the night belly clock chimed loudly, Sephiroth frowned in frustration and began to shout.
“If you can’t do it, you can’t eat babam and sepi pudding! Why can’t I do it?”
“Why, even if you ask me that…”
“Ugh, then. Well. “I need to cry a bit, but bear with it!”
Sephiroth, with his eyes squinted, stretched out his cute hand and started stroking the chestnut’s abdomen.
What on earth are you doing? For a moment, I almost burst out laughing because it was itchy, but for a moment, Bam felt an excruciating pain coming from the Danjeon. Then, a loud groan erupted from the central square.
“Sssssww, keaaaaa!”
From the distorted vision, a cute green energy forcibly came out through Sephiroth’s hand.
Torture-like pain delivered with pure hand gestures without the slightest hesitation.
In the reddened vision of the writhing night, the pudding that Sephiroth was holding began to separate into two in the blink of an eye.
‘This… ‘What is it?’
Forcefully unclogs blood vessels.
World Tree of Prosperity. A power that shines much more intensely than the power she used.
Sephiroth created the pudding, including the bowl and spoon, in an instant and held it out to Bam with a bright smile.
“Look at this! Pappam made two puddings! Amazing. “It’s amazing!”
“…”
Bam barely nodded her head, enduring the pain in her stomach.
If you listen to what I say, it seems like that is my strength.
If you carefully follow the power that has been forcibly awakened. It felt like I could understand the principles of force generation.
‘It hurts.’
But. Sephiroth’s actions without hesitation are nothing but terrible.
On the contrary, Bam, who had become repulsed by the occurrence of power, coughed for several minutes, dripping her saliva and snot.
“Cook, kehek. Collock.”
“Ruler! Eat pudding. Ah!”
“… Cough, Cough!”
The pudding that hits your mouth cannot go inside and falls to the floor.
Sephiroth looked at her, sucking his finger as if it was a waste. I looked up at the night again with sparkling eyes.
“To make pudding?”
“Haa, turn it off, huh.”
“Ugh, what’s wrong?”
I’m starting to understand this kid’s personality.
After seeing Sephiroth’s personality starting to take shape, she looked at her child with a weary face.
Sephiroth studied her face with his eyes, completely unable to read the emotions of such a night. She clapped her hands as if she had figured something out.
“Do you want to get out of here?”
“… !”
He presented Bam with an offer he couldn’t refuse.
“Sephy, I can help you. But not yet. A lot of that power in front of me. “I’ll let you go after I show you a lot!”
“… Wasn’t she on her side?”
“But I’m just curious. Sephy can’t stop being curious! Now that we know all about the trees, all that’s left is the Tree King! Bbabam! And… Bad kid?”
The Tree King is Lee Si-heon.
Bappam is himself. Who is the bad kid again?
‘But, if I could go back…’
Bam, who understood this kid’s personality, thought that he could make a big mess of her resentment, so she adjusted her breathing and nodded.
‘Mr. Sister.’
Just before fainting. The night that turned yellow before my eyes asked Sephiroth.
“How can I…” “” … Does it work?”
“We need to awaken our lineage. Sephy will help you!”
I don’t know how cruel and violent that method may be.
On a night when I had already prepared myself for death once, I wasn’t afraid of enduring the pain at all.
If possible.
I wanted to see the two of you again.
“… Sister too. Please let me go out with you.”
“Huh? Sister? Alpha?”
It’s my business. It doesn’t mean that. Maybe I mispronounced alpha.
“The Tree King took that tree!”
“Ah. Uncle… Under. Haha.”
After hearing the truth, Bam closed his eyes in relief.
Even if I run away from here, I can’t do it without my sister.
Bam, who thought she had been captured with her, burst into tears in joy at the fact that her older sister was safe.
“Huh? “Why are you crying?”
“Black. Ugh.”
She suspected so and tried to push it away.
A person who protects his precious things even in these situations.
Night, my obsession with life awakened, I cried out, sniffling my red nose.
“Please help me get out of here.”
* * * * * * *
“Maybe. Sephiroth will probably intend to awaken that person’s lineage.”
“Why?”
“It’s because of your power, Dad.”
Wiki, floating in the air, stroked my head and explained lovingly.
Prosperity.
This is because the power that governs the word ‘Flower Yeong’ (榮) in the word ‘Flower’ (繁) is a power that can never be flaunted.
“Thriving. Make it glorious. At a glance, it appears to have the power to clear the wasteland and restore the broken world like Chi-yu. That’s just part of it.”
Was it 3 years ago?
I also remember seeing the World Tree of Prosperity in person.
I had a feeling that the power showed at that time was in line with the World Tree of Healing. Looks like that wasn’t it.
“Then?”
“Development and growth. Above all, it uses flower spirit (榮). What is the true value of prosperity? It is creation and intuition, but above all, it leads all life, especially trees, to raise their power to a remarkable level.”
“I don’t really understand what you’re saying. Does it feel similar to auxiliary magic?”
“There’s no way that’s the kind of power Sephiroth is after.”
Maximizes the potential of living things.
If that’s what you mean, there’s nothing I can’t accept. I couldn’t help but have questions.
‘Why did the World Tree of Prosperity die instead of using its power and entrusting the prophecy to me?’
At first glance, it is not a power that gives the feeling of direct combat.
It seems like there are many ways to use it like the World Tree of Time. Is there something going on?
“That… I don’t know either. It seems that the World Tree of Prosperity was unable to utilize its powers properly.”
She asks that she die and find the child of her prophecy and make him her god.
‘Did he think that the World Tree of Prosperity was not the tree for him to sit on?’
I don’t know yet what value the Power of Prosperity will have. I started to think that it could cause a much bigger disruption than I thought.
-Rattle.
Then we arrived at the entrance of the cathedral.
After much conversation and constant movement, I finally found a church.
Although it was only a fragment of a huge ant tunnel, the colony could be caught in an instant, like pouring molten aluminum on it.
“Then, I’ll talk to mom for a moment.”
“Okay.”
After a short conversation. After confirming that Wiki’s presence had completely disappeared, I raised my hand with a stiff expression on my face to take care of business.
-Boom!
There is no need to overpower the gatekeeper.
I confidently kicked in through the cathedral door and shouted at the women wearing black nun robes.
“Stop what you’re doing and reveal your knot!!!!”
“Aaaaah!”
It was time to pour white aluminum into the anthill.
