Following [The Battle of the King of Light - Queen Madol], the group walked through a long corridor in the palace and came to a gate at the end.
[Light Realm King Battle-Queen Madol] stopped in front of the door. After stopping, she turned around and looked at Judai and the others: "Behind this door is where the thing I mentioned is. I
You should have remembered the instructions I gave you on the way, right?"
"It's completely opposite to the dark games we encountered before. The more people with special powers or physiques, the harder it is to approach them casually. And it starts from the moment you open the door and walk in...
"
Marufuji Xiang repeated what he had said to them before [The Battle of the King of Light - Queen Madol], and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Is it really okay? Let us people visit such an important place casually, it's not like
Is that related to the safety and survival of this world?”
"The specific situation cannot be understood by just talking about it. Maybe you will know it after you see it." [The King of Light Battle-Queen Madol] shook his head helplessly, turned sideways and let out the way to the door.
road.
As mentioned in the previous explanation of [Light Realm King Battle - Queen Madol], the so-called "special power" and "special physique" include but are not limited to the abilities of elf users, bodies transformed by alchemy, etc., so in
Among the six people in the group, only Misawa Daichi, Marufuji Sho and Kaiser Ryo can safely enter the door. Although others can also enter, they need to be more careful to avoid accidents.
And Misawa seemed to have been brought here by [Light Realm King Battle-Queen Madol] before. He was not in a hurry to be the first to open the door. Instead, he motioned to Marufuji Sho and Kaiser to let them in first.
, but Caesar was not very interested in saving the world, so he was the first to open the door and led everyone into the place regarded as "the place of hope" by [Light Realm King Battle-Queen Mador]
.
Reaching out and putting his hand on the soft and textured door handle wrapped in dried and solidified vines, Sho Marufuji subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but when he thought of Judai waiting for him to open the door behind him, he just
He just flinched, but he quickly plucked up the courage to turn the door handle and open a gap in the closed door.
From the crack in the door, abundant natural breath poured in, even more abundant than the breath in the dense forest that [Light Realm King Battle-Queen Madol] led everyone through before, and at the same time, there were also
There was a warm yellow-green light, making it difficult for people to see what was behind it.
"Bang!"
Because Marufuji Xiang was the one who opened the door, he was the first to see clearly the scene behind the door, but the next moment he slammed the door in a panic and looked back at Judai and the others with wide eyes.
"What, what's wrong, Sho?" Judai was a little frightened by Sho Marufuji's surprise, and asked him strangely, "Why do you look like you saw a super monster in a tokusatsu film?"
"Although I'm not sure if it is, it seems to be not too different, big brother!" Sho Marufuji said with a sad face, "I just saw it, there is a 'deer-headed spirit' staring at this side from behind!"
"How is that possible? Sho, have you played "Gwent Card 3" too much? Even the Kaiba Group can't bring characters from other games into this world, right?" Judai didn't take Marufuji Sho's words too seriously.
In my heart, I comforted him while opening the closed door.
Originally, Marufuji Sho was specifically asked to be the one to open the door. Judai also wanted to use this method to help him accumulate self-confidence bit by bit in his daily life. Not to mention completely evolving into a social cow, he could not do anything like he did on the stage.
The bass player who starts dancing to let others notice his instrument is just as relaxed as the bass player, but at least he can have some confidence in himself and can communicate with others normally.
However, now that just opening a door can scare Marufuji Sho to this level, is the progress too fast?
Thinking like this, Judai also opened the door, and then closed it instantly. He leaned against the door in synchronization with Marufuji Sho and said: "There really is a 'Deer-headed Spirit'! We must quickly replace the steel sword with a silver sword!"
"
"Why do you even Judai..." Misawa shook his head helplessly, looking at Judai who started to look for the ingredients to prepare sword oil around him, and finally he opened the door, "You guys are like this,
It’s very rude.”
"Indeed, and do I look like that 'deer-headed spirit'?" A dull voice came from behind the door.
It was clear that Judai and the others opened the door from the palace of [Light Realm King Battle-Queen Madol] in the afternoon, but the other side of the door was under a clear night sky, with little stars shining on a dense forest.
In the woods, it also shone on a huge oak tree with a human shape.
The yellow-green light that shone into everyone's eyes before seemed to be emanating from the gaps in the wooden texture of this huge dendrobium tree, and even between the branches and leaves that stretched like a cloak and wings behind the human-shaped dendrobium tree.
There are also light spots that are like stars in the sky, alternating between light and dark as if they are breathing.
"This, this is!?" Judai's eyes widened and he looked at Maeda Hayato.
Misawa nodded: "Yes, what you have in front of you is——"
"——Senfa, Wood Release, True Thousand Hands, Top Transformation!" Judai and Maeda Hayato said in unison, excitedly.
"Yes, it's really thousands... No, what is that? Hey!" Judai and Maeda were almost taken to the ditch. Misawa also reacted in time and corrected, "
This is the hope of saving the world mentioned by [Light Realm King Battle-Queen Madol], and also the ‘falling star’ mentioned in the prophecy.”
"Its name is, [Star Boundary Tree-Guangshu]."
The tall tree man slowly leaned down and looked at Judai and the others. He didn't show much pretense and said in a quite easy-going manner: "[Guangshu] can only be regarded as the name of the species I belong to. To be more precise, it is translated in your language."
The term I came up with later could actually be called [Star Boundary Tree - Ilming Yao Star Tree]."
"However, if you like, you can also call me [Astral Tree-Ilmister]."
"It's such a long name, but [Guangshu] is easy to remember."
Judai made a casual remark, and when he saw the huge tree man——[Star Boundary Tree-Light Tree], he was holding on to the forked bark on his body with some frustration. He looked around again and said, "But it looks normal from the outside.
The castle, I didn’t expect that there is such a forest inside it? Why is it already night in the blink of an eye? Did we spend that long in the castle?”
"The starry sky here is not real, it is just an illusion that I brought with me when I came from the star world." [Star Boundary Tree - Guangshu] shook his head, looked at Judai and the others, and after scanning around, his eyes finally stayed.
On Misawa, "Ah, I found it. To be honest, your looks are too similar in my eyes. It's really difficult to distinguish the differences between each individual."
"So, does the human boy named 'Misawa Daichi' come back here to see me for something?"
Although it was not his first experience, the feeling of being called by the right name still made Sanze feel comfortable. He couldn't help showing a relaxed expression, and then said to the giant tree man in front of him: "Actually, they are my friends.
You said before that you are somewhat interested in being able to save the [Light Realm]. The more help, the better, right?"
"Ah, that's right. After all, what we have to deal with is that Lord, the Supreme God who comes to the top of the star realm." [Astral Tree-Guangshu] said, becoming a little serious, "In
Before that, did you know one truth about this world? That is, the truth that this world is based on reality based on illusion?"
"Reality above illusion?" Ryo Marufuji frowned, "What does that mean?"
"We can understand the illusion. After all, everyone enters this world through the Kaiba Group's game cabin, but I don't understand the reality, meow~" Daitokuji also scratched his scalp and said in confusion.
"Although in your opinion, this may be a game that does not exist in the real world, in the eyes of all things living in this world, all of this is real, and if you do not prevent someone's plan, this reality will
It will also transform into reality in your eyes. Although it is a game, it is no joke."
Hearing the word "game" clearly from the mouth of the NPC [Star Boundary Tree-Guangshu] surprised many people in ten generations. This meant that the other party knew that they were in a game world and could clearly recognize it.
Know that there is a real world outside the "box" of the virtual world.
"There is no need to show such a surprised expression. If I have to say it, I am actually a similar existence to you. We both came to this world from another world, and there is another person who arrived here with me." Noticed.
With the surprised expressions on the faces of Maeda Hayato and the others, [Astral Tree-Hikaru] also sat down and looked down at Judai and the others, "Therefore, there is nothing special about being able to recognize the situation in this world."
"It's just that unlike you who built this world from the very foundation and then formally entered this world in a way recognized by the world, the way I entered this world was somewhat passive and special. It would be better to say that I was completely influenced by another person.
Existence was involved in this world by the way." As he said that, [Astral Tree-Hikaru] stretched out his hand to Judai and the others.
As the distance between him and Judai and others narrowed, Judai clearly saw that the [Wing Kururi Ball] he had handy ran out of his deck in great discomfort, resisting the approach of [Astral Tree-Hikaru]
, the yellow-green light in the outstretched hollow fingers of [Star Boundary Tree-Light Canker] also became dimmed or even on the verge of extinguishing as it approached the tenth generation.
The same was true for Daitokuji teacher and Maeda Hayato. Daitokuji teacher covered his eyes in discomfort, and Maeda's [Death Koala] also ran out and even dropped the eucalyptus leaves and was not in the mood to continue eating.
There was nothing special about the fingers that stretched out to Sho Marufuji, Ryo Kaiser, and Daichi Misawa, and they did not experience any discomfort.
"As beings recognized by this world, especially those of you who have mastered the ability to interact with elves, you can almost be regarded as an extension of the world's sight. Contact with you will allow me, the 'stowaway', to be discovered and then
Rejected by the world." Sighing helplessly, [Star Boundary Tree-Guangshu] took back his hand and wrapped his palm with vines, as if bandaging a wound, "Maybe it's because of the [Star Boundary] I was in before.
Is it because the power cannot adapt to this world at all?”
(2333 cannot be used because it is a link)
"In short, compared to that sir, I don't have the ability to make disguises that can hide from the perception of the world. If it weren't for the help of [King of Light Realm - Queen Madol], I would have been expelled from this world long ago, even if
Now I can only hide in this secret place and cannot leave." After a pause, [Star Boundary Tree-Guangshu] said again.
"No wonder they say that we can't get close casually, otherwise there will be danger. It turns out that the one in danger is not us but you [Astral Tree-Hikari]." Marufuji Xiang glanced behind him at the person who was left outside the door.
Coming in to prevent himself from affecting the [Star Boundary Tree - Light Realm], the [Light Realm King Battle - Madol Queen] suddenly remembered something, "But, what does what you said have to do with saving the [Light Realm]?"
"You're not tall, but you're quite anxious? I'll tell you right away." [Star World Tree-Hikaru] glanced at Marufuji Xiang, and continued, "Anyway, in order to survive, I fought in [Light World King Battle-
With the help of Queen Madol, I opened up this secret place to hide myself, but I also accidentally discovered that this world actually actively disconnected from the outside world and exiled me to the [Star Boundary] where I was originally.
Ability."
"To be more precise, I was originally pulled from the [Star Boundary] to this world like an arrow on a taut bowstring, but this hidden place has fixed the taut bowstring with a fixator.
, although the bow string is still tight, it leaves me with more time and room for operation. Even if I am ejected, I can take something with me."
"And this is our plan to save the world, which is for one person to use the power of [Astral Tree-Light Can] to bring the existence that wants to destroy the world back to where it originally was together with [Astral Tree-Light Can]
Go to the world, that way you can avoid the destruction of the Nine Realms." Misawa concluded, "And because of the [Star Boundary Tree-Guangshu] itself, I was chosen to control his power."
"Bringing back the original world, do you mean the 'sir' mentioned before?" Hayato Maeda recalled the words of [Star Boundary Tree - Hikari] before and asked, "What exactly is an existence that can travel through the world?
people?"
"Huh? Didn't I explain it? It's really embarrassing." [Star Boundary Tree-Guangshu] scratched the back of his head and said seriously, "The world we were in before was called [Star Boundary]. This should have been explained before.
, in that world there are three gods who come over all things, and are called the 'Three Extreme Gods'."
"And the gentleman I am referring to is the one who represents wisdom among the three 'Ultimate Gods'. His name is [Loki]."
"[The Supreme God Emperor - Loki]." After a pause, [Star Boundary Tree - Guangshu] added, "However, in order to come to this world, he still disguised himself to a certain extent.
He who originally gave up his power as the 'Ultimate God', his current name seems to be..."
"[Shadow of King's War - Loput]."
"Ah sneeze——!"
Next to Hayato, [King of War Shadow-Loput] suddenly sneezed, and Hayato rolled his eyes in disgust.
"It must be Odin who is saying bad things about me!" He said with confidence, [The Shadow of the King of War - Loput] said to Hayato in a flattering manner, "Lord Tanlito, the crusade against [The King of the Void Realm - Ute]
After Gard], where do you want to go next?”
"So proactive?"
"Because it is my greatest honor to be your dog." Calculating in his mind the power of [Wang Zhan] that he has collected so far, the expression on [Wang Zhan's Shadow - Loput]'s face did not change at all.
