Chapter 147 The Heart Tree King's Means

The surging mental energy poured into the suspended purple crystal leaf, and in an instant, it shone brightly. A beam of light-purple light suddenly shot out, heading towards Aurora within the protection circle of the three major civilization fleets.

Seeing this, some of the mechanical troops closest to her abandoned their entanglement with the Root Tree King and jointly erected a psionic shield to block the light-purple beam.

However, at the moment of contact, the light-purple beam showed no signs of being obstructed. Its speed did not change at all, and it lightly penetrated the psionic shield as if the shield did not exist. The mechanical combat soldiers who tried to block it with their bodies along the way were also penetrated, but their bodies were not damaged in the slightest, as if this beam did not exist in the material world and could ignore all defenses.

"Hmm? Stop this attack." Han Xiao had been paying attention to the Heart Tree King's movements. Although he didn't know what method the Heart Tree King used, it was best to stop it. He slashed open the Root Tree King's body with a knife and immediately called his teammates who were fighting fiercely in various parts of the battlefield in the communication channel.

Hearing Han Xiao's instructions, some of the Super-A Grades who were closer to him reluctantly distracted themselves during the battle and used their own means. Magic, supernatural powers, and psychic powers were thrown around in an attempt to disperse the light-purple beam, but they were all penetrated.

Seeing this, everyone was taken aback.

"What kind of ability is this?"

"It can't be blocked, how is it a bit like the characteristics of the All-God's Scepter?!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, this beam of light passed through the Super-A Grade combat area, shot into the protection circle of the three major civilization fleets, passed through one warship after another that came to block it, and no matter how the warship where Aurora was located changed its position, the beam always tracked it down. Soon, it penetrated the spaceship where Aurora was located.

The light-purple beam passed through the shield and outer armor, shot into the command room, and went straight to Aurora in the room. The stand user, Solokin, appeared with a whoosh, and his condensed psychic power collided with it, but it couldn't cause any effect. Even his body was penetrated, but there were no injuries.

Just as it was about to hit Aurora, but when there were still a few meters left, the light-purple beam seemed to have hit an invisible barrier and suddenly slid away, drawing an arc and flying out of the warship in a flash.

Seeing this, Aurora, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the Time Amber is still useful..."

What was blocking her was a Time Amber ball. Han Xiao had given her a batch for self-defense, and currently, there was nothing known that could penetrate the Time Amber ball.

However, the light-purple beam did not dissipate. After flying out of the warship, it circled a large circle, readjusted its position, and shot towards Aurora again, always locking onto its target.

Seeing this scene from afar, the Heart Tree King's eyes changed slightly, seemingly quite surprised.

"There's a way to block it? Could it be that special substance that isolates the link between the Mother Tree and the individual?"

The Heart Tree King did not hesitate and immediately reached out to grasp the purple crystal leaf. The green World Tree power circulated, instantly activating a new power.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the surface of the purple crystal leaf, and at the same time as it was damaged, it released more power, blooming with a halo.

The light-purple beam that was continuing to chase Aurora seemed to be affected and suddenly exploded and disappeared.

Solokin thought that this guy had given up the attack, but suddenly heard a thud beside him. He turned his head and saw Aurora suddenly fell straight to the ground.

"What's wrong with you?"

Solokin was shocked and hurriedly approached Aurora. He saw that Aurora's eyes were lifeless, staring blankly ahead, her eyeballs did not move, as if she had lost her perception of the outside world.

He quickly used his psychic power to probe into Aurora's brain, and found that Aurora's consciousness had been closed off and wrapped in thick purple crystals. A stream of green energy flowed within the crystals, and his psychic power could not penetrate it.

"What's going on? My soul link with Aurora is broken!" Hela's voice sounded in the channel. She was the first to notice the abnormality, and her tone was urgent.

"Aurora has lost consciousness. Some kind of energy has sealed her mind. I don't know what kind of mental ability it is... This is bad, I can't unlock it for a while."

Solokin told the truth and frowned as he used his psychic power to attack the purple crystal. However, the purple crystal in Aurora's brain was extremely tough. His psychic power could only leave shallow marks on it, which were quickly repaired by the purple crystal itself.

Whoosh!

Just as he finished speaking, Han Xiao used Emperor's Descent to leave the battlefield and instantly appeared beside Aurora. Without saying a word, he stabbed Aurora and checked the combat information to see Aurora's condition.

He saw that all of Aurora's abilities had turned into a frozen gray, and a special state had been added to the attribute bar.

[Illusionary Realm · Heart Lock: Closes off an individual's thoughts and consciousness, entering a vegetative state. The bearer will fall into an infinite virtual illusion composed of their own desires, ambitions, longings, imaginations, fears, dreams, pursuits, and other factors. If the bearer regards the illusion as reality, they will continuously provide energy for the seal, causing the seal's strength not to weaken over time, but gradually increase. At the same time, the weaker the bearer, the more difficult it is to recognize the illusion - Duration: Unknown]

"A mental seal that even Solokin can't break through... The characteristics of the universe treasure must be at play."

Han Xiao's mind flashed back to the purple crystal leaf that the Heart Tree King had taken out, and his expression tightened slightly. He did not have any relevant information about this item in his previous life.

The previous burst ignored distance and attack paths and became a direct strike within the range, like a mental shock directly acting on the individual. As long as Aurora was not completely wrapped in the Time Amber, there would always be openings for the attack to enter.

If this move was used on others, it would also be a powerful threat, but the Heart Tree King only used it on one person, and after using it, the purple crystal leaf was damaged, so there were probably some restrictions.

"This is not good, Aurora's energy level is still too low..." Han Xiao's eyes narrowed.

Aurora's ability was special, but her own level was limited. The sealing effect applied by the Heart Tree King was naturally significant. The chance of her recognizing the illusion was too low. If her hard power could reach the peak Super-A Grade, the seal would definitely not be as strong as it was now.

"Those who have mental abilities, all come over and try to unseal it."

Han Xiao immediately issued an order. There was no time to continue staying here, so he quickly activated Emperor's repeated teleportation function and returned to his original position.

After only leaving for a short while, the mechanical deity that had lost its core maintenance had been dismembered by the Root Tree King. He had to use mechanical force to connect the pieces of wreckage and reassemble it to continue fighting with the Root Tree King, with electric arcs flying.

When they learned that the healer had fallen, many Super-A Grades were immediately anxious and were about to abandon their opponents to check on Aurora's condition, but the World Tree powerhouses also received the Heart Tree King's order and were greatly invigorated. They tried their best to entangle them and prevent the Super-A Grades from leaving.

"Haha, your recovery-type Esper has been defeated by His Majesty the Tree King, let's see how you recover!"

"Aren't you afraid of death? Come on, keep fighting!"

"Without the courage, do you still dare to trade injuries for injuries?"

In the mind network, many World Tree powerhouses were excited and sneered.

The scene of the last battle was still vivid in their minds. These enemies relied on the healer behind them to constantly trade injuries for injuries with them. Even if they were severely injured time and time again, as long as they were healed, they could immediately become alive and kicking, making it difficult for them to fight. In the end, they had no choice but to use suicide tactics, but they only dragged a few people to their graves.

At the thought of the shameful battle losses last time, many World Tree powerhouses were furious. But at this moment, the Heart Tree King used his means to sweep away the courage of these enemies, and the World Tree Super-A Grades all cheered up, feeling as if they had finally seen the light of day and could finally exert their consistent strengths...

When it came to trading lives, they had never been afraid of anyone!

The Root Tree King spun around and deflected Han Xiao's attack with his blade. Hearing the commotion in the mind network, he couldn't help but send a mental message to the Heart Tree King and asked in a deep voice:

"Are you sure that this can permanently seal the enemy's recovery-type Esper?"

"I didn't say permanently. As long as enough mental ability users spend a lot of time grinding away at the seal, it will be unlocked sooner or later... But as long as the recovery-type Esper cannot play a role in this battle, my goal will be achieved."

The Heart Tree King put the cracked purple crystal leaf back into his body, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly said:

"Without the recovery-type Esper, the battle losses will return to normal. As long as we trade enough high-level combat power with the enemy in this battle, causing substantial losses, it will be useless even if that Esper wakes up afterward."

In his opinion, even if he only sealed the recovery-type Esper in one battle, he could successfully trade. As long as he killed enough high-level enemy combat power at once, he could exert the World Tree's advantage of snowballing.

At this moment, most of the plan had been successful. The Heart Tree King relaxed, rejoined the battle, cooperated with the Root Tree King, and roamed around to besiege Han Xiao. For a time, the three of them fought inextricably.

Before long, some Super-A Grades finally abandoned their opponents with the help of their teammates, returned to the fleet, and came to Aurora's side, but after checking, they all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"The situation is not good. This mind seal is too strong and is protected by a special force. Even if we all work together, we won't be able to unlock it in a short time," K'Su-yeh's voice sounded in the channel.

"Even you can't do it?" Sun Hunter was surprised.

K'Su-yeh shook his head, "Although I have infinite strength, my psychic power intensity has a limit after all. It's like water constantly washing over a reef, it takes time."

Hearing K'Su-yeh's words, many Association members felt a thud in their hearts and secretly felt bad.

In the next moment, an Association member immediately made a suggestion in the channel:

"Black Star, why don't we retreat first and fight them after unlocking Aurora's seal."

"Do you think the World Tree will watch us retreat? And even if we retreat, the Tree King's aura will continue to take effect, and the front line will most likely not be able to hold on. Even if we unseal Aurora and want to fight them again, it's hard to say whether they will give us the chance. By that time, it will be too late."

Han Xiao hadn't spoken yet, but Oulu spoke first.

A large number of direct descendants disregarded life and death and were still fighting with their opponents. Seeing this scene, many Association members who had retreated could not escape the battle and had to grit their teeth and continue fighting.

But without the protection of the healer, many Association members considered their own safety and did not dare to fight as hard as last time. They were restrained and the combat power they erupted was far inferior to the first time they fought. Instead, they were faintly suppressed by the fearless World Tree powerhouses. Fortunately, they had the advantage in numbers this time, and a group of Resurrected Ones held the situation, otherwise the battle losses might have surpassed the other side.

Many Super-A Grades had different thoughts and fought fiercely. This time, the fighting was much bloodier. Super-A Grade powerhouses on both sides were frequently sacrificed and the battle losses continued to expand.

"Hehe, without that recovery-type Esper, you have revealed your true colors. The casualties are getting bigger and bigger. How long can you hold on?"

Han Xiao was dealing with the siege of the Root Tree King and the Heart Tree King, and the other party's mocking mental message sounded in his mind.

Boom!

Energy exploded, and a dark-blue compressed energy cannon blasted open the Root Tree King. Han Xiao took the opportunity to glance at the losses of the Super-A Grades, and his mood was calm. He didn't care at all and didn't respond to the other party's ridicule.

Turning back, Han Xiao fought with the Root Tree King who rushed up again. Suddenly, a sharp pain struck his brain, and he was hit by several mental shocks from the Heart Tree King.

Shaking his head, Han Xiao felt a little棘手 (jíshǒu, thorny/troublesome).

"It's already difficult enough to deal with one Tree King, but it's even more difficult to deal with two of them... Although I can withstand the attacks from these two guys, it's difficult for me to cause much effective damage to them... Someone must share the pressure for me so that I can free my hands to deal with one person alone..."

The thought flashed through his mind. Han Xiao gritted his teeth lightly and kept glancing at the Heart Tree King.

His goal was not to stalemate with the two of them. If he could catch a Tree King here, that would be the best. If not, he would have to kill one and let the other enter a dormant period. If he let the other party retreat completely, it would be too much of a loss.

He was being dragged down like this, and the two Tree Kings were taking care of each other. If they wanted to leave, he probably wouldn't be able to stop them.

Han Xiao's target was the Heart Tree King. After all, the Root Tree King in the field was just a Ruler clone and there was no need to deal with him, but someone had to restrain him.

Although the Root Tree King was an unfamiliar guy, his strength was worthy of the title of Tree King and he was also a leader among the peak Super-A Grades.

The World Tree War in his previous life was a very late version. Now the war had been brought forward many years, and Han Xiao could only assume that the Root Tree King was the mechanical Tree King of this period. He lost his position in the future and let the Emperor Tree King take over. As for the reason, it was unknown at this time.

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Han Xiao glanced at the battle situation. Seeing that most of his teammates were fighting fiercely and were unable to spare any energy, his eyes flashed, and he switched the communication channel to send an dispatch order to a foreign aid.

At this moment, a sense of crisis struck. Han Xiao hurriedly opened the Emperor's Robe. He saw that the Root Tree King used some kind of skill, and the double-headed battle blade rolled up a vortex-like green energy and slammed into him, exploding into green streamers and sending his huge body flying a distance.

"Hmph, you dare to be distracted in front of me. I don't think you take me seriously at all." The Root Tree King swung his battle blade and said coldly.

"What's wrong, do you want to be a Great Might Heavenly Dragon?" Han Xiao clicked his tongue and casually replied with a meme that the other party didn't understand.

"Hmph, I don't know what you're talking about, but as long as I restrain you, don't even think about freeing your hands to help your other companions." The Root Tree King raised his battle blade and pointed at Han Xiao.

"Are you a pig, why are you still hmph-ing?"

Han Xiao didn't want to be outdone. He found that the World Tree powerhouses liked to chat while fighting.

"Outlander, they think you have an almost indestructible body, I'll try to kill you today!"

The Root Tree King opened all the armor muzzles and fired dense beams of light, then swung his battle blade and was about to rush up.

However, at this moment, the light of the High-Dimensional启 (qǐ, enlighten) Transmitter suddenly flashed behind Han Xiao, and a huge mechanical deity suddenly descended, a mixture of flesh and blood and machinery, it was Hyperion!

The war in the interception circle had been going on for a month, and Hyperion had been on standby for a long time. Upon receiving Han Xiao's message, he took the transmitter at the first time and descended directly from the Shattered Star Ring. And during the stalemate before the outbreak of this war, he had already completed his own weapon loading and was now fully armed and in peak condition!

"World Tree! Our war is not over yet!!"

Hyperion's angry roar sounded in the wide-area channel. Countless thrusters were activated together, and the dense contrails propelled Hyperion to accelerate continuously. The giant blade in his hand rolled up psionic energy and slashed at the Root Tree King head-on.

Clang!

Hyperion struck the Root Tree King's blocking stance with a single blow, and the shock wave swept out.

Another new force entered the field, and many World Tree powerhouses turned their eyes and were stunned.

"You... Hyperion? You're still alive?!" The Root Tree King was shocked.

Every World Tree powerhouse present recognized Hyperion. They had fought against him when he destroyed the Kama Republic and had a deep impression of this enemy.

The Heart Tree King was stunned and suddenly realized, feeling that he understood the truth.

"I see, the initial intelligence of this civilization about our World Tree came from you!"
