Benji was very pleased with his improvements, especially his speed.
His gaze wandered from the corpse to the group of doubfoulded Plague Doctors.
The woman named Nine was the quickest to recover from the fact that one of them died instantly.
"Retreat! The Mission is over, you know what to do!" Shouted she as the grass beneath her began to freeze.
The air around her turned cold and she flung her arms towards Benji, creating multiple Ice Spears.
Benji shook his head, "No one will leave alive!"
The next scene disturbed the group of Plague Doctors greatly, they had already started to run away when the whole area started trembling...
Benji didn't take the Ice Spears seriously as he crushed them with his fist.
Grey Steam escaped from his body when he activated his Force.
Everything around 500 meters of him began to float up.
It was a strange and devastating scene, the ground broke apart as it began to float up.
The group was prevented from fleeing while they lost control of their bodies, floating up in the air.
Benji stepped forward, only the ground he stepped on was not affected by his Anti-Gravity Force, the rest of the ground kept breaking apart as large pieces floated up...
The Plague Doctors panicked, trying everything to regain control and get away, even Nine was flabbergasted by the display of power Benji showed.
"What on earth..."
Benji looked up before vanishing, a low sonic sound followed his disappearance.
The next thing that happened can only be described as an one sided massacre, the Plague Doctors in the sky would explode into a bloody clouds whenever Benji struck out.
Nine grimaced, urging her ice powers to create various layers of hardened ice around her like a shell to protect herself.
Benji saw it and didn't care, he killed all the others floating in the sky before shooting down towards Nine.
He punched out with a tyrannical momentum...
Benji's fist hadn't touched the ice yet, before it shattered under his Force.
Nine had no time to react before crashing into the ground, creating a huge crater.
Benji deactivated his Anti-Gravity Force as he landed softly beside Nine inside the crater.
Blood was constantly flowing out under the plague doctor mask of Nine, she felt like every single bone inside her body was broken.
She saw Benji's figure looming over her like a demon with an evil smile on his face.
"You are much stronger than the others." Commented Benji somewhat interested.
Nine wanted to say something but there came more blood out from her mouth instead of words, making her slowly drown in her own blood.
Benji noticed it and punched down without hesitation, turning her body into a of bloody pulp!
[Like a kid killing ants, you would have struggled against them if we didn't advance.] Said Adam who was satisfied with the results of their power-up.
Benji nodded, 'It was really too easy, like fighting against kids, they couldn't do anything to stop me from killing them.'
Large parts of earth were falling down now that he had stopped using his Force.
He wasn't bothered by them because his Force flung them away from his body.
Foul red toxic smoke surged from the remains of the dead Plague Doctors, gathering and forming 12 toxic smoky figures of someone Benji was familiar with.
Benji faced the figures made of toxic red smoke, his expression one of indifference.
The figures of The Doc turned their heads towards the World Tree before staring back at Benji.
Benji and Adam detected thick killing intent directed at them.
[The Doc seems mad about the fact that we killed his people hahahaha.] Laughed Adam in glee.
The 12 figures of the Plague Doctor started to merge with each other until it was only one left.
That red figure looked more real and gave off a stronger toxic aura.
Benji sneered at it, "You might put some resistance If you were here in person but..."
Grey steam escaped his body as Benji punched at the air, aiming at the figure of the Plague Doctor.
His fist was infused with his grey steam energy and the impulse of it blasted towards the red figure floating in the air.
The Doc was really mad as red toxic smoke flew ahead to clash and corrode Benji's attack
A look of shock appeared behind the mask as the Doc saw his toxic red smoke being completely obliterated by the pure destruction that came with Benji's attack.
The impulse of destruction didn't stop after annihilating the toxic attack from The Doc, it's overbearing momentum didn't become any weaker as it crushed the smoky figure of the Plague Doctor.
Their gazes met the last moment before the figure was totally crushed without any form of resistance.
The Doc understood the meaning behind his gaze, "Never let me catch you!"
'I will have to make some changes, what a pity I really need it...' Thought The Doc with regret...
Benji returned to his spot under the World Tree, stopping thinking about the mysterious Plague Doctor.
The mutated animals that had observed the fight with interest now began to avoid him.
"They are smart hahaha!" Laughed Benji while feeling intoxicated by his power.
Five days passed quickly under the World Tree and some things happened through that time.
The first was Lilith finally finishing her evolution, becoming the third Homo Chaos Sapien.
She felt the connection with Benji and Miyamoto and didn't really know what to think about it, it was like having new family members...
The second thing that happened is the appearance of the Eighth Pillar.
It was a man who called himself Brutus, he claimed Australia as his territory after the others explained the rules.
Everyone became a bit restless as they stole glances at the last remaining Ninth Pillar...
The third thing was about the World Tree.
Benji and Adam observed the strange behaviour of the mutated animals.
The began to retreat from the World Tree as more time passed, they entered the surrounding forest, seemingly waiting for something.
Benji and Adam discussed it, deciding that they would follow the lead.
They entered the outer parts of Schwarzwald and waited together with all the other mutated animals.
It took another day for them to notice that something was happening with the World Tree.
All the red fog around Schwarzwald surged towards the World Tree in waves.
It entered the World Tree that began trembling violently.
With it the surrounding area shook too, the mutated beast started to roar and howl.
Adam and Beji sensed how all the mutated beast became restless and bloodthirsty.
Their greed and yearning was very evident.
'What the hell is happening?' Cursed Benji who released his Force to keep them away from him.
[Dunno, wait and see...]
They waited for another hour until the World Tree began to emit a soft soothing sound while shining red.
Benji could see clearly how some strange fruits started to grow on some branches.
The higher the fruits were the stronger their aura was.
Benji couldn't help but drool, his body was literally screaming for him to rush forwards and devour those fruits!
[I guess that's what the Plague Doctors came for, my question is...how in the world did they know about these fruits?] Asked Adam.
