Chapter 88: The Gem Constellation, Yggdrasil!
Chapter 88: The Gem Constellation, Yggdrasil!
Alexander felt an inkling of a possibility as he thought of the coming Gem Constellation with the sacrifice of the World Tree Scion Gem Recipe.
A possibility that told him that maybe…just maybe the allure of Emperor Tier Undead may not be too far away.
"..."
He thought of the possible types listed in the description.
Night Walkers, Vigor Flayer Liches, and Abyss Knights.
How far away would he be from these Undead Minions after everything was over and done?
With them under his banner, would the Beast Kings and Beast Emperors making their entry into Ephesus still pose a threat to him?!
"..."
The thought was a terrifying one as moments after it came…
[The Gem Recipe designated as the Scion of the World Tree and all the Gems within its makeup have been recorded in the Ability Gem Database.]
Inside his Enneagram, the heart-shaped Gem entirely disappeared as everything was extracted and stored in the Ability Gem Database.
And right away, Alexander didn't delay.
'Sacrifice the Scion of the World Tree for another Gem Constellation.'
…!
A heavy but inevitable choice was made.
And within Alexander, a radiant verdant light flashed over his figure before it shot out towards the skies!
Inside the clouds, he looked at it with waves of serenity.
[The Scion of the World Tree Gem Recipe is now unusable and archived.]
[The passive effects of any abilities augmenting you are retained.]
[The Support Ability Gems within the Sacrificed Scion of the World Tree Gem Recipe are archived and selectable as Support Ability Gems for any future Recipes.]
The same waves of information that came after a sacrifice was made for a Gem Constellation!
But Alexander watched as in the distant skies, at a place he couldn't even see- another dazzling star bloomed.
There was a blue one, and there was a crimson one.
Endless Glacial Dream.
Light of the Void.
The first Gem Constellations shone radiantly as in the next moment, something green bloomed with majesty.
[The Gem Constellation, Yggdrasil, has been born.]
…!
A terrifying pressure descended.
One that caused Alexander's eyes to shift as he realized he underestimated what he had just done.
The turning of normal Gem Recipes to Gem Constellations already gave such terrifying results.
So what about a Variant Gem Recipe?
The results were astonishing as the moment a constellation began to shine in the distant skies, his own body erupted with terrifying waves of lifeforce that seemed to be inexhaustible!
[Under the influence of the Gem Constellation, Ygddrasil, you and all your active Gem Recipes are granted certain effects.]
[The effects of Limited Nature Manipulation are applied to the holder of the Gem Recipes and any applicable life forms connected to him through the Gem Recipes. Under its brilliance, the capability to propagate and manipulate plants is born. Depending on the amount of Energeia used, one could cause a sapling to bloom, or cause an entire forest to bloom.]
[Under the effects of the Gem Constellation, Ygddrasil, you personally gain the addition of 200,000 Vigor and 100,000 Energeia, while any life forms connected to you gain half of the above-mentioned values.]
Two dreadful prompts flashed within Alexander's mind.
Alongside them, on his forehead, the faint tattoo of an ancient tree appeared, his dark pupils beginning to radiate a terrifying verdant light!
—
On the earth below.
Anastasia was releasing her power and aura to suppress the Beasts below while looking at the human Gem Masters who were gathering their forces while looking at her and the other Minions dubiously, the Two Tier 7 Ascendant Gem Masters showing extremely hardened expression after she told them of the betrayal of the Galanis Bloodline.
The humans showed unique emotions, with their facial expressions always being so readable- unlike her new Master.
When it looked like they were about to start speaking in a questioning tone to her…
"Hey, I really don't care whether you all believe and warn your higher ups or not. I've completed the mission that Master gave me, so-"
BOOM!
In the middle of her words.
Her eyes instantly began shining with green light as she felt an explosion of life force within her body!
This was expressed outwardly as the aura that even the Human Gem Masters felt became shockingly oppressive, and she wasn't the only one.
Vishpala.
The Orc Minions.
All those bound to the Ascendant Master experienced an explosion of life force in an unfathomable way, this mayhem causing Beasts and Human Gem Masters alike to turn around in fright!
But Anastasia, Vishpala, and other Minions only gazed towards the skies.
There, a crimson brilliance of light wrapped with a vibrant green descended, his figure going down rapidly until he seamlessly arrived on the barren earth.
The barren, cold earth.
In the distance, a few Willow Trees with barely any leaves rose here and there.
He landed on the barren earth, and the first thing he did was raise his hand that burned with Energeia.
And from his hand, a dark green seed formed.
A seed that he then took and placed on the earth below, Anastasia watching with widening eyes as the barren earth…actually opened to accept the seed.
Thereafter, true wonder bloomed as all eyes felt like they were pulled towards him with a magnetic light, and they watched as from the barren earth…
BOOM!
The trunk of a tree bloomed.
Branches bloomed from the trunk, and after that, vibrant green leaves sprouted en masse!
It was a tree.
A tree filled with life, and it towered over 10 meters as the green leaves on it radiated such a shocking aura of life that none of the Willow Trees nearby could even compare!
…!
"Ah…"
Anastasia couldn't help but utter out.
Her new Ascendant Master had just gone up to the skies briefly, and by the time he came down, her own Lifeforce was exploding upwards while he waved his hands and caused the emergence of a tree as if it were so easy?
It was possibly a simple act to others, but for those who were used to barren lands and dying nature, this seemed like a miracle!
What did it take to cause such a thing to happen?!
As others wondered such a thing.
Alexander himself stood on the barren earth where he had just begun trying the Boons of Limited Nature Manipulation.
Limited.
And yet…
He had just spent 1,000 Units of Energeia and caused this massive and vibrant tree to sprout.
1,000.
Currently, after the ridiculous effects of the Gem Constellation, Yggdrasil, his Energeia had already exceeded 200,000.
If he could cause a massive tree to sprout with 1,000 Units of Energeia, just what could he do with 200,000?!
