Time seemed to freeze, and Xia Yu's eyes, which had merged with the golden buds, erupted with dazzling golden light, and golden runes emerged from his body, wandering crazily like tattoos.
Xia Yu opened his hands and raised them upward. The runes gathered on his fingertips, and then broke open the skin and turned into golden buds that grew wildly.
The black hair on his head also turned golden, and grew at an extremely fast speed and extended to his feet.
"New life! Abundance!"
Xia Yu, who was muttering casually, looked neither sad nor happy. The blond hair that extended to his feet was rooted in the roots of the tree, and the whole person was like a humanoid plant growing vigorously.
After a while, Xia Yu, who was growing crazily, closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the golden light had disappeared, and his eye color returned to his original color.
His dark brown, nearly black eyes calmly scanned the surroundings, and his body that was originally growing wildly like a plant came to an abrupt halt.
The next second, both the growing body and the buds that broke through the fingertips were retracted by the power of the law, like time going backwards.
"Tsk, I almost became a vegetative state. This Law of Abundance is really powerful."
After pulling out all his blond hair that was stuck in the roots of the tree, Xia Yu murmured as if sighing.
That's right, the pure golden sprout just now is the law of abundance that Michaela left here.
And now, the Law of Abundance has been obtained by him.
Combined with the words Michaela left in the virtual image before the Law of Abundance emerged...
"He is indeed a good man... no, he is such a god."
Xia Yu looked at the distorted virtual image of tree roots and couldn't help but sigh.
Not only did he leave behind the law of abundance, but all he wanted was that in a new world, all living beings, beautiful or ugly, could grow and thrive according to their own original forms.
The scale of this situation makes him feel a little ashamed. It is really commendable that he can still have fraternity in this cruel and chaotic world.
"Since you are willing to believe in the latecomers, then I, the latecomer, cannot let you down."
Xia Yu said to himself to the virtual image of tree roots, then shook his long golden hair behind him, raised his hand to grow thin golden vines and tied it into a ponytail.
It's good to try new looks every once in a while, and blond hair is pretty cool too.
But if you think about it carefully, Malika's genes are really strong. Regardless of whether they are male or female, the hair color of her children will be the same as hers.
Only the Omen twins failed to inherit their mother's hair color due to mutation.
"Now that we have the Law of Abundance, we can try to integrate the Law of Corruption and remove it from Malenia's body. Wait, is this also part of your plan? Michaela!"
Xia Yu looked surprised, but soon he felt that he was overthinking.
Not to mention whether Michaela would have expected that the latecomers wanted to save Marlenia, the fusion of laws alone was not something that ordinary people could achieve.
Michaela had to water the sacred tree, tap into the power of the abundant law from the new life little by little, and then create a new law that can accommodate each law.
And that new law that will embrace everything may be the law of the new era after the Golden Law.
Compared to the exclusive Golden Law, the new law will become a more perfect existence.
So, Meng Geyou really deserves to die.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Yu looked at the tree spirit again. This time, he could try to give Malenia a new birth.
Furthermore, instead of just wanting to get Monger's ring fragment before, now he really wants to try to rescue Mikaela.
How could such a demigod with great love be defiled by Mengge? Mengge did not deserve it.
While thinking about it, Xia Yu raised his hand to grow the roots of the holy tree, completely wrapping the tree spirit. Then his eyes burst into golden light again, and he sat cross-legged on the ground.
After obtaining the Law of Abundance, there is no need for darkness to corrode. The holy tree is already named Xia. Since the holy tree is already his, it is his natural responsibility to uproot the scarlet corruption that parasitizes the holy tree.
Perhaps we can also try to use fertility to guide corruption into new life and let the holy tree grow again.
It's best if you succeed, and you don't feel bad if you fail. It's like picking up something for nothing anyway.
Time passed slowly.
Golden runes circulated around Xia Yu, and two large runes floated around him, infusing the golden runes around him with the power of law.
The law of birth and life should have been part of the Golden Law, but because the ring was broken, it can now be used alone.
Suddenly, Xia Yu raised his hand to explore. The golden talisman turned into a big hand, which penetrated deep into the root of the tree, and then suddenly pulled out a red-haired figure.
After pulling out the eldest sister in Valkyrie's human clone, Xia Yu threw it aside.
The eldest sister Mary, who was left aside, opened her eyes in confusion, and suddenly found that her eyes, which had been blind due to corruption, had regained their sight.
Before she could figure out what was going on, the rune's big hand once again pulled out three red-haired figures and threw them aside.
Those were her sisters, Jasmine, Amy and Pollyanna.
Then, the last red-haired figure was brought out by the big rune hand and gently put aside. Compared with them who were thrown away casually, the big rune hand treated the last person completely differently.
The eldest sister, Mary, was a little bit offended. After a closer look, the younger sister who was gently put aside was Millicent.
Recalling that this younger sister can fight one against four... well, forget it, she is the eldest sister and cannot be as familiar as her younger sister.
Besides, what was treated differently was the hand, which had nothing to do with her sister, yes, that was it.
After the self-enlightenment was over, the eldest sister Mary recalled the memory of the sword fight between herself and other sisters against Millicent, and she suddenly felt a little ashamed.
At that time, they had been parasitized by corruption and were unconscious, but even so, Millicent did not kill them, she just knocked them unconscious.
"Millicent, I'm really sorry. At that time, we..."
The eldest sister Mary walked over with a look of shame on her face, and when she was about to apologize on behalf of the other sisters, Millicent, who had just regained consciousness, suddenly became alert.
"do not come!"
Millicent still didn't know that her sister had regained consciousness. She was about to draw her sword to be alert, but suddenly realized that her weapon was not in her hand.
Seeing this, the eldest sister Mary also reacted. Her younger sister Millicent didn't know yet that she had regained consciousness.
She had no choice but to call in the remaining sisters, explaining and apologizing sincerely.
After the five sisters were reborn, the rune hands disintegrated into golden runes.
While the runes were flying, Xia Yu closed his eyes and thought deeply. At this moment, there were twin buds in his body, one golden and one red, growing intertwined.
This is the complete cycle of reincarnation, rebirth-fertility-withering-corruption-rebirth——
Natural cycle, the law of reincarnation.
It is also the strongest power he has obtained in the world of Elden's Ring of Law so far, an endless and most complete power of law.
Of course, inheriting the law of corruption also means that the corrupt gods have set their sights on him.
It's just that he is not as easy to control as Marlenia, not to mention that the corrupt god is still sealed and has no influence on him at all.
Xia Yu opened his eyes, and endless runes were flowing through them. As he thought, the tree roots wrapping the tree spirit suddenly bloomed like flowers.
This scene immediately attracted the five sisters. They stopped communicating and stared at the place where the flowers were blooming.
The blooming flower that they were originally most afraid of had no intention of resisting at this moment, because it was not a scarlet flower that bloomed, but a pure golden flower.
Among the flowers, Malenia huddled up and hugged herself. She slowly opened her eyes, her eyes full of confusion, as if she still didn't understand what was happening.
Compared to her former huge figure, Malenia is now about the same size as Millicent and the others, with the figure of an ordinary person.
"I am..."
Marlenia stretched her body, stood up slowly, and looked forward with some confusion.
When he saw Xia Yu walking over, joy appeared in his eyes, he couldn't help but stretched out his palms and murmured.
"elder brother!"
"Forehead……"
Xia Yu was stunned, raised his hand in embarrassment and said, "You have recognized the wrong person. I am not your brother. Your brother is still in a cocoon."
While explaining, Xia Yu raised his hand and patted Marlenia. The firelight passed by and a piece of clothing was put on Marlenia's body.
Now Malenia is no longer parasitized by scarlet corruption, she does not need pure gold, and ordinary clothes will not be corroded by corruption.
"Not brother?"
Marlenia held Xia Yu's palm, felt the familiar breath, and couldn't help but shake her head.
"You are my brother. You have a familiar aura about you. Brother, you have not broken the contract. You are finally back!"
After saying that, Marlenia hugged Xia Yu, as if a helpless little girl had finally found a relative she could rely on.
"this……"
Xia Yu stiffened and felt Marlenia's trembling. He couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. He reached out and patted her back to comfort her.
"Okay, okay, don't be sad. You are a Valkyrie. How can a Valkyrie look like a little girl? Don't be sad."
Under Xia Yu's gentle words of comfort, Marlenia finally stopped trembling. After a moment, she raised her head and left Xia Yu's arms.
"thank you very much for your help."
Marlenia first bowed deeply and thanked her, then she stood up straight, exuding an unusually sharp aura.
"Excuse me, do you know where my brother is? I want to rescue him!"
Huh? It seems that he has reacted.
Seeing Marlenia like this, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows. He didn't think he could really pretend to be Michaela.
The only similarity between him and Michaela is probably the blond hair. As for why Marlenia admitted her mistake, it was probably due to the influence of the Law of Abundance.
After all, this is the law that Michaela has carried with her since she was born. It is normal for Marlenia not to react for a while.
"Xia Yu, we are..."
At this time, Millicent also came over with her sisters. Looking at Marlenia, who was closely related to the five sisters, her heart no longer throbbed as before.
It seems... fate is no longer relevant.
"You guys..."
Xia Yu stepped aside, allowing Marlenia to also notice the five Millicent sisters.
"You are now the six sisters of the Valkyrie. You can regard Marlene as the eldest sister. Of course, you can also regard her as the youngest sister. It all depends on your own ideas."
"As for what happened, let's talk about it as we walk. As for where to go, of course it's to save your brother Michaela."
