Chapter 549
by post_apiChapter 549: The Outcome Revealed
Queen Vaidehi’s throat felt as if it had been squeezed, at first she tried to resist, but quickly realized in horror that the power of the unknown force was far beyond what she could match.
Suppressed!
Utterly overwhelmed!
Her time-space power was completely ineffective against the opponent, and her defense powered by The Long River of Time was instantly shattered, causing her power to vanish.
Upon sensing that force, she looked somewhat dejected.
If I hadn’t grasped a bit of the time-space rules, I’m afraid I would have died long ago.
While absorbing the power of the Duwang River, Vaidehi noticed something unique about Zhang Mu, and observed that two streams of red and white energy were blocking his way on The Long River of Time.
However, she never imagined that this aura would be so domineering, just because she had warned Zhang Mu in this timeline, she suffered absolute suppression.
Vaidehi silently transformed into the appearance of a cluster amaryllis, swaying as she flew back into the Duwang River behind Zhang Mu, she needed to quietly rest for a while and fortunately the real Duwang River could help her regain her strength.
As for Zhang Mu, Vaidehi could only apologize, she was powerless.
From the beginning until now, only Zhang Mu can see Vaidehi’s figure. Everyone else thinks Zhang Mu is going crazy, yelling at nothing, and they move away. Only Hachikuju is still watching him nearby, afraid he might do something drastic.
Zhang Mu is still feeling hopeless, but under Hachikuju’s leadership, the human race has gathered together to clean up the battlefield.
The leaders of the other two camps have all been removed from their positions. Hachikuju didn’t want to take charge before, but now those people have all turned into deserters in a critical moment. It was thanks to Hachikuju’s Red Flame Wolf Rider that one-third of the human race’s strength was held strong.
Thinking about this made Hachikuju very angry, but he is currently troubled by another problem.
The zombie clan was turned into corpse poison by the Corpse Emperor, and half of the Beastmen were killed by the Undead Legion. The remaining half, affected by the corpse poison, are now few. Finally, the human race completely wiped them out.
But how should they deal with the plant army?
They fought side by side just now, should they attack them now?
Hachikuju feels some resistance in his heart, but as a qualified leader, now is the best time to seize victory.
Hachikuju is no longer the passionate young man he used to be. In the face of personal emotions and the greater good of the race, he can distinguish between what is more important.
The most important thing is that he doesn’t actually have feelings for these plants, he just feels guilty.
So before taking action, Hachikuju went to Zhang Mu and asked for his opinion.
“Zhang Mu, wake up, it’s me, Hachikuju.”
Hachikuju didn’t say much, he knew that Zhang Mu would come to his senses without needing anyone to talk a lot. If Zhang Mu kept resisting, talking more would only annoy him.
Hearing Hachikuju’s voice, Zhang Mu slowly raised his head, looking at his familiar brother with a full beard. His eyes were full of concern, and he stayed silent for a moment.
Finally, Zhang Mu stood up.
His voice was strained, “Brother Hachikuju, it has been a long time. You have all changed so much, I hardly recognize you.”
Hachikuju knew that Zhang Mu was referring to Yuan Rui, so he changed the subject directly to distract Zhang Mu’s attention.
“Zhang Mu, now that you’re back, it’s time for us to handle the affairs of the human race. What do you think about the plant people now? Queen Vaidehi seems to be gone, so it’s a good opportunity for us to win this war. We never know when Vaidehi might return, as no one has seen her die, and it could be troublesome later.”
Hear Hachikuju’s words, Zhang Mu felt unfamiliar with his brother he had not seen for two years for the first time.
Seeing the distance in Zhang Mu’s eyes, Hachikuju didn’t mind. He had seen a lot in the past few years, now he just followed his heart and did what he felt was right for himself.
What Hachikuju wanted to do now was to help the human race win this war. He was eager to see who the people hiding behind all this really were.
Only if the human race won, he would be able to see who was really behind the death of Gesar.
“Zhang Mu, when we win, we can then face those despicable villains hidden in the darkness with the posture of winners. Everything that is happening now is because of them.”
Seeing the anger in Hachikuju’s eyes, Zhang Mu realized his temperament seemed to have been altered by his warrior physique, he felt a strange sensation inside.
“Brother Hachikuju, have you forgotten something? I did not enter the Era Battlefield as part of the human race.”
Zhang Mu stood tall, locking eyes with Hachikuju, probing deep into his soul.
Yes, how did Zhang Mu appear!
Hachikuju suddenly realized that Zhang Mu must have come from the human world’s teleportation point and must have known about it, and he was the one leading the plant army.
Thinking of Luo Wanxun and the unconscious Qing Ling, Zhang Mu looked at Hachikuju and said, “I entered as a member of the plant tribe. Without them, I wouldn’t have survived until today.”
“Brother Hachikuju, if you want to eliminate the plant army, does that mean you want to eliminate me, Zhang Mu, too?”
Sensing Zhang Mu’s anger, Hachikuju, who was used to being in a dominant position, subconsciously took it as a challenge. Both of them remained silent, staring at each other with a fierce intensity in the air.
After a while of standoff, Hachikuju finally gave in.
Although he didn’t understand why Zhang Mu appeared in the Era Battlefield as a member of the plant tribe, he knew it was impossible to bypass Zhang Mu to deal with the plant army.
Seeing the power that Zhang Mu had just unleashed, he might not even have a chance to fight back. Moreover, even if Zhang Mu was now weak, if he killed Zhang Mu just to see those creatures behind the scenes, he wouldn’t be able to face himself later on. Hachikuju looked a bit bitter and said, “Sorry, Zhang Mu.”
A simple apology calmed Zhang Mu’s heart completely.
Despite being changed a lot by his experiences and Gesar’s death, the Hachikuju in front of him was still the honorable plains man.
But suddenly, a mechanical voice rang out in Era Battlefield.
Due to the appearance of unknown dimensions, the outcome of Era Battlefield has been determined. Now tallying the situation.
“Fourth place: zombies, no evolved beings above fourth-rank, no pinnacle evolved beings at third-rank.”
“Third place: Beastman, with 1 evolved being above fourth-rank (awakened domain) and 71 pinnacle evolved beings at third-rank.”
“Second place: human race, with 1 evolved being above fourth-rank (awakened domain), 4 evolved beings above fourth-rank (unawakened domain), and 21344 pinnacle evolved beings at third-rank.”
“First place: plant tribe, with 3 evolved beings above fourth-rank (awakened domain), 5 evolved beings above fourth-rank (unawakened domain), and 9987 pinnacle evolved beings at third-rank.”
All the joy on human race’s faces as they cleaned up the battlefield instantly froze, while the plant army surrounding them stared around in vigilance.
Will the plant tribe be the final winner?
