In their eyes, Patsy saw the determination to die. Like the dead man, they would rather be hacked to death by Patsy than to see Patsy, the shadow leader, ascend the throne of the world.

Threats are meaningless to them.

But if you just let them restrain you, Nono will die.

"..."

Percy closed his eyes and firmly engraved the corpse in front of him in his mind.

Then he opened his eyes and dropped the blood-stained black hunting knife in his hand.

Before the guards could breathe a sigh of relief, a cold and majestic announcement sounded.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

The moment the words fell to the ground, the realm of Wuchen Land expanded.

"boom!"

There was a direct conflict between the realm that rejected everything and the will that would rather die than stop Percy. In the next moment, broken limbs and broken arms were scattered everywhere, and five heavy bodies were thrown away on the spot.

They were not dead, at most they were seriously injured, but all the arms they intended to stop Patsy stayed in place under the huge tearing force.

Patsy already understood that these people really did not betray and understood their thoughts, but he had what he wanted to do.

He looked up at Nono. Under the threat of the elders, Nono had reached the edge of the black well and was only one step away from falling into the black well.

"Stop!"

Patsy roared, he bent his knees slightly and wanted to rush over directly.

With his speed and speaking ability, if there is no obstacle, as long as Nono waits for him for a few seconds, he will be able to arrive in time and save her.

However, the dark human wall blocked his way.

The guards ignored the broken limbs of their companions and silently formed the next obstacle.

Nono, who was at the edge of the black well, seemed to have not heard anything he said. Without any hesitation, he stepped directly into the black well and disappeared completely.

"Nono!"

"Nono!"

Caesar, who had partially recovered from the anesthesia, and Patsy, who had no time to break through the barrier, knelt on the ground at the same time, letting out a feeble roar.

With eyes wide open, they stretched out their hands in the direction of the black well in vain, but found nothing.

At this moment, they finally deeply felt the cruelty of reality and their own powerlessness.

Although they couldn't see what was happening inside the tree trunk, they had seen hundreds of scenes of giant snakes falling to the treetops and being absorbed by the World Tree as nutrients.

There is no doubt that the woman they admire has turned into blood mist and been completely absorbed by the World Tree.

Ten, nine, eight...

The elders stared at the timer and watched the final countdown with excitement.

With the end of the ceremony, the red mist that had been permeating the entire island began to gradually dissipate. The originally lush World Tree withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had supplied all its last nutrients.

Finally, the timer returned to its original point, and the three days were up.

At this moment, the red mist that filled the island completely disappeared, and the flourishing World Tree also completely dried up.

Almost all the life force on the entire island was gathered in one location.

That is, the roots of the decayed World Tree.

And here, the original blood-red fruit has turned into a dazzling red gold color, as attractive as Rhine gold.

The guards carried the distraught Patsy to the tree hole at the bottom.

They didn't dare to look at the attractive tree fruit. Seeing that Patsy hadn't come back to his senses, they boldly took out a safety box from his arms and took out a nanometer glass tube.

The colored reagent was then injected into Patsy's vein with a needle under the watchful eyes of everyone.

This is the legacy left by Odin. It is a reagent that can only be opened by the blood of the Gattuso family. Caesar chose to refuse this gift before, but now it is naturally used on Percy.

After the injection of this tranquilizer, Patsy finally recovered.

He stood up, not looking at the golden fruit not far away, but at the elders on the side.

"Didn't we agree before that we would use Naina's blood as a filter? Why did we change the plan and use Nono?"

Hearing this question, the guards all became nervous. They were worried that when Patsy's temper got worse, he would be like Caesar and refuse the throne that was so close.

The elders were a little worried for a while, but because of the way they had always gotten along, they did not choose to apologize but tried to defend themselves.

"We are doing this for your own good. In terms of qualifications as a sacrifice, that woman is more than ten times stronger than all the others combined. Only if she is a sacrifice can you get the strongest power!"

"What you mean is that without Nono, it won't affect the plan, but the effect will be slightly worse?"

Patsy asked.

"Theoretically, this is true, but no one has tried it. The higher the success rate, the better."

The elders spoke so vaguely.

"I see."

Patsy nodded and stopped asking. There was no emotion or anger on his calm face.

The elders thought that the matter was over, and did not pay much attention to it. Their eyes quickly turned to the red-gold fruit, which was the final product of the resurrection ceremony.

According to the description in Nordic mythology, Nidhogg is a monster that gnaws at the roots of the World Tree. Nowadays, this description may be reversed - the person who devours the fruits from the roots of the World Tree can become the Black King.

It can be said that the power that is superior to all life in the world resides in this golden fruit in front of you.

Faced with such a temptation, even the dying elders could not help but feel greed in their hearts.

However, no one tried to touch it, because they knew that they were not qualified to touch this fruit.

Elder Alpha took a deep breath, pointed in the direction of the tree hole, and looked at Patsy.

"Eat that fruit and you will be on par with God!"
