Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later

Chapter 360 - 360 Crying

360 Crying

With a cracking sound that echoed in the sky above Holy Tree City, William neatly severed the last squirming umbilical cord.

The Void Incarnation appeared to have its stomach sliced open as it dragged the squirming umbilical cords all over the ground and stopped in place. Then, it slowly squatted on the ground with slow and stiff movements.

Logically speaking, with a body as huge as a mountain, even the slightest movement could turn the entire Holy Tree City into ruins from the intense earthquake. However, the other party’s movements were so gentle and cautious, like a child tiptoeing to be careful not to step on the ants on the ground, doing its best not to injure the citizens of the forest.

William, who was floating in midair, looked at the other party in confusion.

He originally thought that this would be a fierce battle, but it turned out that he was unilaterally wearing down the other party’s excessively long health bar.

It was difficult not to suspect that this was a specially designed trap—for example, after destroying this Void Incarnation, it would directly open a Moon Realm rift on the spot that was enough to allow the other party’s main body to step into Currere.

After all, in the game’s plot in the past, there were countless similar examples, especially those related to the Whispering Empress.

No matter what, never do what the enemy wants you to do.

“…”

William silently took out a holy relic-level magical medium without any special suffixes from his inventory. He hesitated about releasing peak Fire spells to burn the festering giantess in front of him. To this fellow with extremely high HP, extremely fast recovery, and a huge body, using All That’s Left Is Ash and Dust—a top-notch AOE with a wide range and continuous burning effect—was the best way to deal damage.

He had prepared 12 unsuffixed holy relic-level magical mediums as casting materials in his inventory. With the full support of the Holy Spirit Disc, William believed that he could burn every bone of the other party to ashes.

However, the other party standing there unguarded made him suspicious.

This was just like seeing the enemy turn around in the first round of a life and death arena and openly expose her weakness to him.

What was the other party up to?

…

“Camilla, what the hell are you doing?”

The Whispering Empress, who was clinging to the sky above the Lake of Entropy, asked the Lady of Starvation the same question.

Camilla had transformed into a dazzling nebula body and was in the middle of the Lake of Entropy, sitting on a throne made of countless rotten things. Although She was constantly sending Her strength through the Moon Realm rift, She had no intention of making the body move.

She seemed to be waiting for something.

“Didn’t we have an agreement? Use the Unborn Fetus to erase the remaining humanity in that incarnation and the Ironstone Oath. This is your only chance of victory. In that case, why are you still standing there doing nothing? Do you think you can really scare the Calamity with such a bluff?”

Beatrice, who was clinging to the huge net, couldn’t stop twitching Her huge spider mouthparts. Moreover, Her tone carried a hint of anxiety.

Previously, the Lord of Starvation and Corruption just watched as the Calamity severed the umbilical cords one after another in Currere without doing anything.

It wasn’t that Camilla couldn’t stop it in time, but that She didn’t want to.

“I don’t think I’ve ever promised you what I’ll do, right?” Camilla, who had completely revealed Her true form, said.

“From the beginning until now, you’ve always been the one nagging in my ear, coldly watching accidents happen one after another before eagerly peddling new plans for me.”

The intricately woven spiderweb above the Lake of Entropy began to curl and yellow with Camilla’s voice before gradually withering.

“I only agreed because I wanted to know what you were planning. Since I know now, there’s no need for me to cooperate with your exquisite performance.”

“Although you keep saying that you want me to escape the remnant mortal influence, wasn’t it you who left behind that humanity back then? You allowed that former mortal to leave her children’s souls in a soul box and engraved her mental imprint on the World Tree—be it love for her children or hatred for the Forest Elves. I should have guessed it long ago, shouldn’t I? You were planting a weakness that could kill the ally you created,” Camilla said.

“I can’t kill you. The only person who can kill you now is the Moon Realm Calamity. It was impossible for me to foresee his return,” Beatrice replied after a moment of silence.

“Cut the act. You’re the one who forced Zamara out of the plan and allowed Her to inform the Calamity. You’re also the one who planted Silence in my timeline. Do you really think I’m a fool who can be led by the nose by you without even noticing these?”

As Camilla spoke, colorful specks of light that resembled bacteria began to appear on the phantom of the huge spider and began to expand. Almost half of it was devoured in the blink of an eye.

“How can that be? Isn’t your will already…” Beatrice’s tone revealed deep surprise.

Although She was only a projection in the Lake of Entropy, as long as Camilla was still controlling the unprecedentedly huge Void Incarnation, it was impossible for the other party to erase Her projection so easily.

“I’m not the one controlling that Void Incarnation,” Camilla replied directly.

“Wh…”

Beatrice was speechless.

“Let me tell you something you aren’t aware of. In fact, the mortal influence you specially left behind for me had been erased more than a thousand years ago in Currere. The best way to eliminate mortal influence isn’t to suppress and eliminate it, but to satisfy it… More than a thousand years ago, I fulfilled my biggest last wish during my mortal time and revived my children who had died in the past.”

The spider phantom’s six eyes lit up at the same time.

“Therefore, the Calamity severing those umbilical cords is exactly what I want. It’s not time for me to ‘eat’ yet. It’s just the step of birthing my child.”

With that said, the cries of babies echoed in the sky above the Lake of Entropy and Ravenwood.

“Waa. Waa…”
