Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 526 The Fifth Petal of Divinity

"You can also lead the undead?" Gnaeus was shocked by Eve's ability.

He was very familiar with the aura emanating from Xia Die; it was probably the power of the Death Titan.

But Eve's aura felt unfamiliar to him.

The rich sense of life reminded him of reason, yet it was different.

He simply couldn't figure out Eve's approach.

And one thing is clear: powerful, extremely powerful.

Since I have never fought against him, I am unsure whether he surpasses Titan.

But it is also a force to be reckoned with.

“They say they guide the dead, but they don’t say they liberate them,” Eve said.

"Life is an epic."

After a long silence, Gnaeus said, "I understand."

"Then this epic saga must continue."

Gnaeus silently walked towards the door.

...........

"The place where souls are cast and cut...we are very close."

"During the festival, it is unlikely that anyone will set foot here alive. Do not let your guard down."

The three of them arrived deep inside the inner city.

"They are relatives...be careful."

As soon as they set foot on this land, many of the guards looked up at them warily.

"Fighter..."

"Advance... not permitted..."

The guards roared menacingly, their hoarse voices and bizarre movements indicating that they had lost their minds.

"Has it lost its mind? Pathetic creature. Give it a quick death."

Gnaeus raised his sword.

“Split...soul........”

"The body... is indestructible...!"

Gnaeus rushed forward and quickly weaved through the guards.

Even though he knew Eve had the power to wipe out everyone, he still took every battle seriously.

This was his belief as a fighter.

Eve didn't make a move this time, but quietly watched Gnaeus.

While Gnaeus was uncertain about Eve, Eve also noticed something was wrong with him.

This guy is probably not as simple as he seems.

Although Gnaeus was struggling, it was clear that the guards were no match for him.

He solved them all.

"Is it resolved?" Xia Die asked.

Gnaeus shook his head. "No... I'm afraid it's not that simple."

More guards stood up again, their voices hoarse as they chanted.

“Split...soul.......”

“Experimental subject…” Gnaeus suddenly thought of something.

"What do you mean? Experiment?" Xia Die asked.

"That mediocre king Euriporn, who attempted to strip away the divinity of the Titan of the Nicardo's strife and store it permanently in an elaborately crafted vessel."

"In this way, the divine body of the Titan of Nicardo's strife can be kept immortal... But before he begins to modify the Titan, he must first experiment on his familiars."

“How do you know so much?” Eve asked.

“It’s very simple…” Gnaeus explained.

“Because the fragmented souls of the Titans of Nicardo’s Strife are stored in these statues. The call I heard… comes from them.”

"Reassemble its soul, and reunite its divine core. In this way, it will regain its dignity as a Titan, and you will have a chance to defeat it head-on."

Upon hearing Gnaeus's words, Xia Die immediately understood what was going on.

At this moment, the Divine Punishment Vanguard and the Guardians were still chanting meaninglessly: "The body... is indestructible..."

"Finally, we've found the source of everything..."

Just then, Eve fired a beam of light.

The experimental subject in front of them was instantly blasted into dust.

But the next second, the fragments reformed into a body, and it was resurrected.

"It seems to share the same characteristics as Nicardoli," Eve had already guessed.

The hall they were in now was the very place where she and Bai Ewandi had fought against Nicardoli.

“Mom, let me hold it off. For those who have lost their minds, the scent of death is like honeyed frost that can intoxicate them.”

"We need to find a way to restore the soul of the Titan of Nicardo's Strife to its wholeness."

"Only by correcting this history...can Onphalus have a future."

For the sake of the greater good, Xia Die stepped forward, intending to use herself to hold off the experimental subjects.

“No need,” Eve immediately rejected her suggestion.

"Although we can't kill it with a bomb, it's not impossible to trap it."

Eve waved her hand gently, and several vines quickly rose from the ground, binding the experimental subject tightly so that it could not move at all.

"Is this even possible?" Xia Die was shocked again.

Gnaeus watched this scene intently.

These vines can actually withstand divinity?

"It should be fine if we can hold on for a while."

"Let's go, let's hurry up and end this farce."

On the high platform.

“We should be able to utilize the power of time and space again here,” Xia Die said.

To restore Nicardi's five-petaled soul to its rightful place, the power of the present and the future must be utilized.

"Use prayer, right?"

Eve slowly recited the prayer, and the space and time in the hall instantly transformed, turning the once magnificent palace into a dilapidated mess overgrown with weeds.

"Incredible."

"So dark and dilapidated, is this the future of Suspended Edge City?" Gnaeus was deeply shocked.

In the near future, Suspended Peak City has become like this.

He had to stop it.

"Actually, even I am still quite surprised, Suspended Peak City..." Xia Die felt the same way.

Seeing this scene felt incredibly unreal.

The once mighty Suspended Peak City has become like this.

At this moment, Gnaeus looked at Eve.

"Your connection with the Titan of the Ages of Oronis must be very strong."

"Time has passed, but the Titan's soul remains shattered. King Silence and his servants have probably long since turned to dust... No one knows what happened here."

"You and I have both come to end this absurdity. Let us journey together and return death to that Titan."

“Of course, that’s why we came here,” Xia Die said.

The three of them stepped onto the Soul Forging Platform.

Gnaeus heard roars and explosions.

"What's this? The sound of battle?" Gnaeus said instinctively.

Xia Die nodded. "In a very similar time and space... my companions are fighting Nicardoli."

"In this broken era, there are still ordinary people who defy fate—that's remarkable."

Gnaeus was quite moved.

"But you cannot destroy an immortal body by force alone... That's why you came to this era to find the answer."

""courage.""

""glory.""

"Resilience."

""sacrifice.""

""reason.""

"There are only four Soul-Forging Statues here. Even if they did indeed divide the divinity of the Titans of Nicardory into five parts, one piece of the soul is still missing."

"So what should we do now?" Xia Die continued to ask.

"I have no clue either... I can only take action first."

"First, help me piece together the divinity of 'Conflict'."

Gnaeus walked up to a broken statue.

This is a statue of courage.

“I can hear it…I can hear it.”

"The Titan of Nicardo's strife, a part of its divinity is sealed here..."

What should we do?

"I beg you to lend me the power of Oronis."

Eve stepped forward and recited the prayer again. The "Courage" statue quickly reversed time and returned to its original position.

At that moment, the sounds of the ritual began.

The ritual voice: "We seal the God-King's 'Courage' within the sword vessel."

The sacrificial voice: "This is proof: it has never retreated a single step on the battlefield."

The ritual voice: "Even facing the untouchable black tide from beyond the mist, it alone raises its sword and bravely confronts it..."

Gnaeus plunged his sword into the ground and made a declaration to the statue.

"The Titans' 'Courage' in the Nicardo Crisis"

"Break free from your shackles and return to your divine form."

As the sound faded, the divinity of courage returned to the statue.

In front of the statue of glory.

“Sounds… began to emerge.”

"The Titan of Nicardo's Strife, here lies a piece of its divinity... Glory."

After Eve reversed time, the statue was restored.

The sounds of the festival then began.

The ritual voice: "We seal the 'glory' of the God-King within the sword vessel."

The ritual voice proclaims: "This is proof: it has never pierced the back of any enemy with its divine spear."

The sacrificial verses: "Even when besieged on all sides and beset by internal and external troubles, it has never yielded to evil schemes, and has always protected the dignity of its warriors..."

Gnaeus also made a similar announcement.

"The Titans' 'Glory' in the Nicardo Clash"

"Break free from your shackles and return to your divine form."

Standing before the statue of "tenacity".

“I am listening…”

"Come... tell me your story."

The ritual voice: "We seal the God-King's 'Unwavering' within the sword vessel."

The sacrificial chant: "This is proof that it is fighting against the calamity of unknown origin with an indomitable will."

The ritual chanted: "Even though the black tide is so powerful, enough to corrupt the will of gods, it has stood this long, resisting the gloom of this corrupt world..."

"The Titans' 'Resilience' in the Nicardo's Strife—Break free from your shackles and return to your divine form."

In front of the statue of "sacrifice".

"Divinity also exists within this statue."

Tell me everything that happened here...

The ritual voice: "We seal the God-King's 'sacrifice' within the sword vessel."

The Ritual Voice: "This is proof that its last words before falling into slumber were a vow to resist the dark tides that threaten the world."

The sacrificial sermon's voice: "It will use itself as a wall to stop the endless spread of madness. It knows all too well: if the end times come, there will be nothing left in the world to conquer..."

"The Titan's 'Sacrifice' in the Nicardo's Strife—Break free from your shackles and return to your divine form."

With Gnaeus's announcement, the five petals of divinity have been returned to four.

But the remaining petal of divinity has vanished without a trace.

"Where should we look for that missing divinity?" Xia Die asked.

Gnaeus pondered carefully.

"Perhaps I was wrong; that last petal of divinity wasn't lost..."

He suddenly thought of something.

"I know where to look now."

Gnaeus slowed his pace and returned to the Soul Forging Platform.

He stood in the center, gazing silently at the towering, majestic statue of conflict in the distance.

The statue's imposing presence commands respect.

"Have you found it, Lord Gnaeus?" Xia Die asked as she walked over.

“Yes.” Gnaeus nodded. “Only this final step remains.”

He lowered his head and began to speak slowly.

"At some unknown time, a black tide arose from beyond the distant horizon—it slowly approached the borders of Onpharos, and the Titan of Nicardo's Strife was the first Titan to come into contact with it."

"In its struggle against the Black Tide, its consciousness began to fade... At its peak, the Titan could obliterate the archipelago with a single sword strike, but it could not eradicate the root of the corruption."

"It fought against the black tide with its will, but ultimately failed. Before its divinity was completely corrupted, it peeled away a part of itself..."

"Could it be..." Hearing Gnaeus's words, Xia Die realized something.

Eve was not shocked at this moment.

Because she had already anticipated it.

She felt something was wrong from the very beginning.

Especially when liberating the soul.

He seemed too calm.

Gnaeus nodded.

"You're right. The part of divinity it stripped away, the part it most wanted to preserve intact, is 'reason.'"

"The Titan believed that its 'reason' would one day answer the call and return to the body of its god... to fulfill its destined mission."

At this moment, Xia Die noticed the corpse lying on the ground.

Although these bodies are dressed differently, have different faces, and different bodies, it is obvious that their aura is consistent.

So, all of these are...

Gnaeus raised his head and looked at the Titan statue.

"They represent countless failed attempts."

"With your help, I can finally put an end to all of this."

"Lord Gnaeus... what do you intend to do?" Xia Die's tone was somewhat serious.

"Courage, glory, resilience, sacrifice—they are all my alter egos... From the whispers of fragments of my soul, I have reached the conclusion—"

"The souls of the Titans of the Nicardory Saga are rotten and beyond redemption."

"There is only one way to turn this around."

"The seal that bound divinity has been broken."

"Once the soul-forging is completed here, the Titan of Nicardo's Strife can be restored to its wholeness."

"You will fight against a Titan who is nearing his prime; and the glory of slaying a god will also shine before you."

"But I believe that none of this will be difficult for you."

Gnaeus looked at Eve.

“Eve, no, it should be Cecilia, the rest is up to you.”
