Chapter 458: Destroying the World Tree

Artemis was also stunned for a moment, then slapped her forehead:

"Ah... I saw Li Yang merge so easily, and I thought this was a method developed by humans themselves."

"I was still thinking, it has been hundreds of thousands of years, humans can research it, the realm of God must have researched it a long time ago..."

"So... are those powers gone just like that?"

Li Yang sighed and said calmly:

"Don't talk about those fragments."

"Do you still remember the [Sun] power?"

Artemis was speechless for a moment.

That was the conspiracy used by the backup of Hephaestus on Blue Star.

The purpose was to secretly send the sun power to China and detonate it as a bomb.

Later, it was Li Yang who awakened a ray of Artemis's consciousness at a critical moment, constructed a hunting bow, and shot the sun god's power with one bow.

Power can be destroyed...

After so many years of fighting and disputes, the power has now been scattered throughout the universe.

It is impossible to find them all without missing one.

Thinking of this, Artemis turned around and looked around at everyone, with a look of regret in her eyes:

"So...are we really helpless?"

At this moment, Athena suddenly spoke up. She had been listening to everyone's discussion in silence.

"Maybe...we can try another way."

Everyone focused their attention on her.

Athena slowly stood up and raised her hand to draw the illusion of the blue star.

Looking at the ever-extending branches of the World Tree, she sighed slowly and said:

"The World Tree is the support of this universe and the foundation for maintaining this limited universe..."

"If it is uprooted... will the [Epidemic], which also belongs to this world, also perish?"

Li Yang's eyes slightly stern: "Are you crazy..."

Athena nodded: "I am very sober... I have seriously considered it."

"Since the plague cannot be defeated, uproot it from the root!"

She turned around and continued in a decisive tone:

"The reason why Hephaestus fell was because he discovered the existence of the World Tree and its hidden secrets. I have a part of his research records left behind, which have an in-depth analysis of the nature of the World Tree."

"If we can combine them, maybe we can find a way to destroy the World Tree!"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one responded for a while.

Finally, Aphrodite next to him broke the silence:

"But... are you sure? That is the foundation of the entire virtual universe. Once it is destroyed... the consequences will be disastrous."

Athena took a deep breath:

"I said, I am very sober."

"This is tantamount to suicide, but right now, this is the only way we can harm the monster, right?"

"The plague will always exist in the universe and will only continue to spread. One day, it will devour the entire reality."

"Instead of passively waiting for destruction, it is better to take the initiative and take a gamble!"

Onili said worriedly: "But... even if we really do it, won't the virtual world also... collapse?"

Athena pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Yes, so in my imagination, this will be a Jedi counterattack that gambles the fate of the entire virtual world."

"However, we didn't know what was outside the universe before..."

"But now, it's different."

"So, this... The final counterattack may be our only way to redemption. "

Artemis took a deep breath and tightly grasped the sharp arrow in her hand:

"I just resurrected, I don't want to die so easily..."

"Li Yang, what do you think?"

Li Yang smiled: "Anyway, things can't get any worse...what does it matter?"

"If the only ending of this world is destruction, then I also hope that it can be destroyed in our own hands."

"Ask T first, ask that guy for advice, if you really can't find any other way...then do it."

Hearing this, Artemis's sunny smile reappeared, and she glanced at everyone present:

"So, my dear companions, do you have any doubts?"

"If not, let's get started."

"If we change to a more tragic method, this may be our last battle in this universe."

Everyone looked at each other, and after a brief silence, everyone looked firm and nodded.

Li Yang took a deep breath and said in a resounding voice:

"Then, there is no need to wait any longer."

"Athena, give me some advice on what to do."

Athena nodded solemnly, and then said:

"First, we must confirm the current state of the World Tree..."

"We will use the power of the tree to break the barrier between the universe and reality here, creating conditions for our departure."

"Then, when the barrier is broken, we will destroy the tree."

"If the barrier cannot be repaired, it will inevitably fall into destruction."

"By then, I hope everyone can gather together."

"Witness together, the end of the universe here."

Unfortunately, Athena was responsible for seducing Hephaestus.

So there is no other way to follow Li Yang and his party back to the World Tree.

But it doesn't matter.

With her speed, it would be quite easy for Hephaestus to not be able to find her within a certain period of time.

After being far enough away, Athena contacted Li Yang.

All preparations are in place.

The rest is up to her.

After a while...

There were dense black clouds, thunder and lightning were scorching fiercely among the clouds, and there was even a burning smell surrounding the place.

Li Yang and others stood at the roots of the World Tree, while Athena, who was in charge of [Wisdom], stood alone on the branches, closing her eyes and concentrating.

T stood aside, shaking his head:

"It's too dangerous...How could you think of such a method?"

"I... really want to dissuade you, but you may know better than me now."

"As the epidemic continues to spread, I'm afraid the number of people suffering the misfortune will not be the same as it is now."

Everyone nodded, but before they could express any opinions, there was an angry shout from over there:

"That's it... now!"

She opened her eyes suddenly, stretched her hand in the air, and the ground shook, as if an invisible giant hand was firmly controlling the World Tree.

Finally, there was only a "bang", the World Tree shook violently, the ground for several miles around sank several feet, and dust billowed into the sky.

Countless laser-like beams of light shot toward the branches of the World Tree in the air. When the beams of light converged, they condensed into a dazzling energy sphere.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, everyone stopped breathing and stared at everything.

Athena shook her hands and pushed the light ball towards the top point of the World Tree——

"Boom!"
