Chapter 1441 - Uneven Distribution of the Spoils (2/2)
Hiss…
Han Xiao could not help but take a deep breath. His entire body was filled with energy. Just as he was about to take back the Pivotal Snake, he realized that the Pivotal Snake did not stop. Instead, it dived into the World Tree and merged into it.
Han Xiao looked at the interface and saw a new suffix in the name of the World Tree.
(World Tree (Complete Form)]! “Hmm? Could it be that the Pivotal Snake was not only a natural enemy, but it could also fuse with the World Tree and complete it?”
Han Xiao was shocked.
This ability did not appear on the attribute panel of the Pivotal Snake. He had only seen it now.
Just as the Pivotal Snake fused into the World Tree, Han Xiao noticed a change. He had just formed a Soul Connection with the World Tree, and it was only the shallowest layer. It was still very weak, but at this moment, the Soul Connection was suddenly strengthened, and it became many times stronger.
If his previous invasion progress on the World Tree was 10%, it was now more than 80%!
“Could it be that the Pivotal Snake can help the controller better control the World Tree?”
Han Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Han Xiao felt the power of the World Tree. He could not be more satisfied. The World Tree’s independent will had been cleared, and it had become a tool without any thoughts. It was completely controlled by him and could be used at ease.
Due to the devouring and conversion characteristics, the World Tree could be regarded as a growth type of Universal Treasure. However, he did not need to start from zero because the World Tree had already matured. Controlling it was equivalent to gaining the loyalty of the entire World Tree Civilization!
The power of this thing was countless times more terrifying than the inheritance of the Underworld that Hila and Aurora had!
“Cannot blame the three Universal Civilizations for wanting to destroy my goal…” Han Xiao turned to look at the battlefield. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly activated the authority of the World Tree to recall all the World Tree fleets. The World Tree fleet, which had been fighting back fearlessly a second ago, suddenly stopped fighting. Without saying a word, they turned around and flew into the roots, turning back into their information form and entering the mother tree world.
For a moment, the battlefield was much emptier, and only the galactic alliance army was left.
Originally, the members of the World Tree were all filled with the desire to fight to the death. However, the moment the will of the mother tree disappeared and Han Xiao replaced the control, everyone’s hostility disappeared. Just as they were feeling lost, a new mission arrived. They would not disobey the orders of the World Tree and immediately ceased fire and retreated.
“No matter how tragic the counterattack was, they were just a bunch of puppets. With the owner changed, they have to listen obediently…”
Seeing this, Han Xiao sighed. However, sympathy was sympathy, and he would not foolishly let the World Tree Civilization go free. This was the World Tree’s own foundation.
Seeing that the enemies had left, the galactic alliance army was stunned. They then looked at Han Xiao beside the tree and were overjoyed.
“We won ?”
“We’re still alive!”
“Hahahaha-I knew I could trust Black Star!”
Countless soldiers were overjoyed, and the atmosphere of excitement and surprise quickly spread throughout the entire army. Every combat channel was filled with wild cheers, and even many players who had yet to spend all their revivals were affected and cheered along
However, when most of the fleets stopped firing, the direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations still did not stop firing at the World Tree itself.
Without the obstruction of the World Tree fleet, the direct troops of the three Universal Civilizations had a clear way. This scene immediately caused the cheers to stop, attracting the shocked gazes of countless comrades.
“Oh? You still haven’t given up. Do you want to pretend you know nothing and try to destroy the World Tree one last time while I haven’t notified you?”
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. He knew what the three Universal Civilizations were thinking
He suddenly waved his hand, and a thick psionic barrier surrounded the World Tree to block the attacks of the fleet.
At the same time, Han Xiao shouted in the channel.
“You can stop the fire. I’ve controlled the World Tree.”
After waiting for a few seconds, the Pope’s solemn voice suddenly sounded in the channel.
“Since that’s the case, let’s destroy it. It’s still a threat to the world!”
“There’s no need. I’ve already subdued the World Tree.”
“It’s not enough! Only by destroying it will we be able to completely eliminate the hidden threat! Even if it’s you, we won’t be at ease!”
“Do you want to cast us aside so soon?” Han Xiao said with a smile that was not a smile.
“You’re mistaken. We’re only doing this to maintain the peace of the galaxy. No one in the galactic society wants to face such a disaster again!” the Pope said with a deep voice.
Han Xiao shook his head. “Stop it. Don’t make the situation too ugly. We just won. Do you want the other allies to see our internal strife?”
Before the Pope could reply, Marbruce interrupted.
“Black Star, this is the only thing we can’t compromise on! You’re the one who should stop. You’ve already made enough contributions, don’t be stubborn! Let go, you’re still the Universe’s Hero of the Final War!”
“Looks like you won’t regret it until things are too late…”
Han Xiao shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the three leaders and the officers turned grave.
They knew that Black Star would not give up so easily, and they were already prepared for a conflict to break out. However, their goal was only to get rid of the World Tree’s main body. Although they were suspected of burning the bridge after crossing it, their goal to get rid of the hidden threat could be accepted by others. In their opinion, if Black Star went on a killing spree against them, it would definitely incur the wrath of the masses. The reputation that he had accumulated during the war would immediately collapse, and the allies of the other civilizations present would also stand on their side to resist Black Star together.
Thus, despite being nervous, the three of them were not afraid of Black Star fighting back. In fact, they were even looking forward to this development.
However, the next moment, the three of them widened their eyes.
Han Xiao did not make a move. Instead, he raised his hand and patted the World Tree. The huge World Tree shrank rapidly and turned into a green stream of light that flew into Han Xiao’s palm, disappearing in front of everyone.
“This…”
Marbruce and the other two were stunned.
The battle with the World Tree fleet previously had given them the impression that the mother tree could not move, so they felt that they had the upper hand. Thus, the three of them would rather take the risk of angering Black Star and gather their forces to destroy the World Tree.
However, the three of them did not expect Black Star to be able to store the World Tree and do something that the World Tree Blessed Race could not. They could not react in time. What was there to destroy now? In fact, Han Xiao could not do this in the beginning. It was all due to the Pivotal Snake strengthening his Soul Connection exponentially, crossing many stages. This allowed him to unlock more functions, including putting the World Tree into the Transcendent’s inner space.
Strictly speaking, the inner space was also a type of secondary dimension. It could also allow the World Tree to take root in it. This way, the inner space would receive a huge enhancement and become extremely tough. Furthermore, there was no need to care about the weakness of the enemy targeting the World Tree’s main body. It was equivalent to carrying the mother tree with him. It was very convenient.
Han Xiao had originally planned to use other methods to force the three Universal Civilizations to stop, but the direct conflict was unavoidable, and it would damage his reputation more or less. However, with this new ability, he changed his plan at the last minute and made the three Universal Civilizations lose their target. This would save him a lot of effort.
Just as the three leaders were at a loss, Han Xiao’s remote projection appeared in the strategic command center.
“What do the three of you say now?”
The faces of Marbruce and the other two flickered. They did not respond.
Only when the World Tree’s main body was exposed in front of the army would they have a chance. There was no chance now. As for letting Black Star take the initiative to hand it over… the three of them knew it. No matter how arrogant they were, they did not think that they had that much face.
“Black Star, you’ve succeeded. You must be very happy now…”
Marbruce had a complicated expression on his face. His tone was bitter, and there was a hint of unwillingness and mockery.
“Yes, I am indeed very happy. The war has finally ended, and everyone is cheering. Are you not happy about this?” Han Xiao raised his brows.
The three of them had solemn expressions.
It would be weird if we were happy. Who knows if we have just left the tiger’s den but entered the wolf’s den again…
Seeing this, Han Xiao smiled and did not continue teasing them.
Since he had already taken advantage of them, there was no need for him to pretend to be innocent. There would be plenty of time for him to settle scores in the future. He did not plan to argue with the three of them about what had happened just now. This was not the right time.
This time, Han Xiao changed the topic and said, “Alright, let’s not talk anymore. Let’s get down to business. I have a plan, and I hope you guys can cooperate.” “…What plan?”
The three of them were surprised.
We just won, what is Black Star planning?
“Don’t leak the news of us defeating the World Tree Civilization. This Galactic Alliance Army’s composition is complicated. It’s best to control them for the time being.”
“Er… What are you planning?” Marbruce was confused. Han Xiao smiled and said,
“Haven’t you guys been trying to find out who leaked the information? I said it was a third party, but you guys just don’t believe me. I just happened to obtain the Information Form Warning Network technology from the World Tree. I don’t have to explain the effects. You guys have already experienced it. This way, you might be able to find traces of a third party. What do you guys think?” The eyes of the trio lit up.
