After the red color faded away, a distorted face appeared on the Twisted Tree Spirit's barkless red trunk. It was an extremely old face.
"Respected Lord, you have been in deep sleep for hundreds of years. Now, only Gru is left. The others have gone to accompany the God of Nature." Elite War Treant Gru looked at the Twisted Tree Spirit, no, it should be the Treant Overlord now, kneeling down and crying loudly.
"Has it been so long?" The Treant Overlord seemed to be a little groggy. "It's a good ending to be able to accompany the God of Nature. It won't be like me, unable to accompany the God of Nature."
The Treant Overlord struggled to pull out his roots from the soil. The roots were completely different from the elite war treants. The roots of the elite war treants were roots with countless tiny branches on them to absorb water.
However, the Treant Overlord's roots had become thorns with spikes, just like his branches.
"Did my appearance scare you?" The Treant Overlord had completely woken up and asked Seuss and the rest. However, the Treant Overlord had never thought of getting Seuss and the rest to answer. He just continued talking.
"Ever since I was possessed by the power of the demon, I knew that there was no way to reverse all of this. If the Goddess of Light could be resurrected, there might still be a chance. But now it seems that the Goddess of Light has yet to return to her original position."
The Treant Overlord kept talking. He had just woken up from a deep sleep so his memories were still from hundreds of years ago.
During the war with the evil demons, the Goddess of Light, who was the only one who could make holy water, was regarded as the number one enemy by the demons. They even killed the Goddess of Light at the cost of countless sacrifices.
After that, people could only rely on the holy water left behind by the Goddess of Light to deal with demons.
Although they defeated the demons in the end, many of them were invaded by the demonic power, but there was no holy water to heal them. They could only seal themselves in anticipation of the Goddess of Light's resurrection or return.
"I know why you're here. Hurry up and do it while I still have some rationality," the Treant Overlord said coldly as he looked at Seuss and the others.
Now, the Treant Overlord was only using the imitation of holy water to temporarily maintain his rationality.
The mutation on his body was proof. If it was truly the real holy water, the current Treant Overlord would have completely recovered from the mutation.
There would be no thorny tree roots, nor will there be any tree branches that were filled with sharp thorns. It would not be like now, where he was almost unable to maintain his rationality.
"Respected Treant Overlord, besides you, there are many other people who have been attacked by the demonic power. We need to find a way to cure them and not just kill them." After hearing the Treant Overlord's words, Seuss did not rush to attack. Instead, he sat down and faced the Treant Overlord.
"Way? What way?" The Treant Overlord was a little angry. This was the aftereffect of being invaded by the power of demons. Even if he maintained his rationality now, he would still be easily angered.
"I've been plagued by demonic power for centuries. If I had a way, how could this have happened?"
As he spoke, the Treant Overlord became even more furious, and flames even appeared on the branches that were covered in spikes.
"Please don't be anxious. We really don't have any solutions now, but we want to understand more. Only by understanding thoroughly can we find a way." Without being intimidated by the Treant Overlord, Seuss took out a glass bottle.
"We're hoping to get some demonic power so we can get a better understanding." Seuss held out his hand and handed over the glass vial.
Seuss was not speaking nonsense. The power of the demon was indeed extremely terrifying, but it was not impossible to be free from them.
After entering a creature's body, the power of demons would assimilate the power in the creature's body and transform it into the power of demons. However, as long as the creature died, the power of demons would dissipate before long.
If the demonic power was in his body, Seuss couldn't think of any solution other than holy water. However, since Seuss and the others were players, the last thing the players had to worry about was death.
For NPCs, death meant the end of their lives, but for players, it was just a matter of levels. They did not have to worry about being infected by the power of demons.
"You want the power of demons?" The Treant Overlord was suddenly enraged. "Are you trying to harm more people?"
"I spent hundreds of years trying to prevent the power of demons from escaping from my body. And you actually want to release these things?"
Boom!
The sharp branch above the Treant Overlord's head condensed into a fist and smashed towards Seuss, creating a huge gust of wind.
Looking at the incoming fist, Seuss sat quietly on the spot without moving. Death was nothing to Seuss.
The fist was getting closer and closer, and Seuss was about to be smashed to death. However, Seuss didn't panic at all. Instead, he opened his arms and welcomed the incoming fist.
Suddenly, the huge fist stopped. The strong wind made Seuss's clothes flutter, but the fist stopped in front of Seuss.
"As expected, you humans are all lunatics!" The Treant Overlord retracted his fist and said loudly, "I knew that you humans are lunatics!"
"When we were attacking the Dragon Empire, I knew that you humans were not afraid of death. No matter how many people died, you would still charge forward as usual!"
During the conquest of the Dragon Empire, the human race and the other races formed an alliance to suppress the giant dragons.
The original humans were just a small group in the alliance army. Their numbers were less than one-tenth, and their individual strength was somewhat weak.
However, after decades of battles, the alliance army realized that these small humans were never afraid of death. They would even embrace death when their lives were about to end.
The original coalition forces even advised the humans not to be in such a hurry. The coalition forces would definitely be able to defeat the giant dragons. The humans had to preserve their own species.
However, the humans did not care and continued to do their own thing. The alliance army could only provide more help to the humans in terms of resources.
After a few decades, humans had grown from a very weak race into one of the strongest races on the Atlanta Continent.
These decades of war did not make them weak. Instead, it made humans stronger.
It was also because of this war that all the races knew about the human race and that there was such a fearless race.
"Hand it over." The Treant Overlord took the glass bottle and extended a branch into the bottle. Black energy flowed into the glass bottle like extremely viscous blood.
