God of Tricksters

Chapter 1759 World Tree

"Sir. The left side is collapsing. We need more soldiers there!" A soldier shouted while gritting his teeth. He had seen the plants rampaging around, killing so many soldiers in one go.

"…" Spencer, the commander of that army, frowned and said, "We're going to—"

Though, before he completed his words, he heard something on his radio. He immediately changed his words. "Wait for a few minutes. The reserve army is on the way."

"Understood!" The guy nodded. He was aware that there were only three thousand soldiers on the front line while the other twenty thousand remained on the back.

Since they were going to send some troops, it should be enough to relieve some pressure on their side. At the same time, these soldiers were fresh and had been conserving their stamina and Magic Power from the beginning. Their combat strength would far surpass the exhausted soldiers on the front line.

While watching his subordinate leaving, Spencer frowned before raising his head, looking at Theo in the sky.

"Fresh troops should be able to push the enemies back. Don't tell me this is the reason why he hasn't put those twenty thousand soldiers in the front? With this, we can minimize the damage on our side." Spencer had just known about the plant invasion not long ago, but if Theo had been preparing the battlefield for this, all his commands made sense to him.

Still, the one who faced the strongest monster was none other than Theo himself.

In the sky, Theo was glaring at a humongous tree in the distance. Despite having a one-mile gap between them, the tree managed to stop him without leaving a single opportunity to exploit.

The tree was bigger than anything else.

'Seriously? This is the first time I've seen a tree like this.' Theo narrowed his eyes. 'Its height alone is about 800 feet tall. The branches and roots stretch over a mile in diameter. And the worst part is… the tree hasn't released any powerful attacks just yet…' Theo muttered inwardly.

He glanced to the grounds, seeing the roots as big as a skyscraper.

"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue, believing this tree was more troublesome than he originally thought.

The tree extended its roots again, trying to squeeze Theo to death.

Theo waved his swords and cut down the roots. However, cracks soon appeared on the gap between the roots, causing the illusion to break apart and leaving only a small mark on the surface.

As soon as it recovered, the roots began to attack him again. There were four roots surrounding him.

Before they reached Theo, the latter snapped his fingers, twisting the reality around him so that the roots bent sideways, hitting the roots next to them and so on until these four roots ended up making a spiral.

However, Theo could see the roots begin to force themselves, moving toward the inside as if it was trying to flatten Theo. The worst part of fighting against a humongous monster like this was the size.

There were only a few options to leave this encirclement.

Skill: Blink (S)

Effect: A skill that allows the user to teleport to five hundred feet away from them. It can be used five consecutive times and brings all the people that touch the users.

This was the new S Rank he got and it became quite handy.

Even so, the roots were the size of a skyscraper, both in size and height. Theo had to go near the roots before using his Blink to teleport out successfully.

As soon as the tree couldn't find Theo inside, it immediately snapped the roots to forcefully return to its formal state before moving toward Theo again.

Theo took a deep breath and said, "This is impossible for me to defeat unless I get some help."

Name: Xditva

Level: 930

Skill: Wood Prison, Unbreakable Wood, Thorn Spikes, Golden Leaf, Explosive Fruit, Branch Labyrinth, Root Extension.

This was why Theo knew why he couldn't fight this World Class Monster by himself. The tree seemed to only use the Root Extension this whole time while he had to use Blink and his illusion.

He might become more troublesome if he had his clones, but his clone had another thing to do. So, Theo couldn't help but call for reinforcement. "I need it now."

? As soon as Theo said those words, a rainbow suddenly wrapped around his body, improving his ability. This was Alexa's ability.

With the fact that Theo had upgraded her skills to A or S Ranks, the effect of the abilities increased significantly. Instead of doubling his strength, he felt like it was close to tripling his strength.

When he felt this strength, another root came to him to test the sudden change.

But surprisingly, Theo stopped the root with only his bare hand. Of course, he used Muscle Enhancement, Enhanced Concentration Capacity, Telekinesis, and Energy Blast at the same time, but with that difference in size, it was close to impossible for Theo to stop it with only his hand.

That was why this power up was necessary to win the battle.

Seeing its root was stopped by Theo, the tree sent other roots to squeeze him to death.

Theo wasn't planning to receive all the attacks without fighting back from now on.

He used his Alter Ego and increased his strength to the peak. With the help of Alexa's abilities, Theo's strength reached an unprecedented level. In fact, he might be the first human to finally achieve the strength of the ancient God, whose strength was similar to Loki.

Theo looked to the side and punched the root with all his might.

*Bam!*

The punch caused a huge shock wave, vibrating the ground. Still, what shocked everyone, including the tree, was the huge crack in the tree root.

"!!!" The tree paused for a moment before retracting its root as if it was afraid of Theo.

Theo couldn't help but smirk since he had confirmed all the things he wanted.

"If that's the case, I don't need to hold back anymore." Theo's body gradually expanded and changed its shape. His hands turned into claws, his back summoned a pair of wings, his head became a dragon.

Theo used his Metamorphosis to become a huge dragon, whose size was a third of the tree. It might not look big, but this was enough for Theo.

With a single flap of his wing, he released a powerful gale to the ground. He glared at the tree before releasing an earth-shattering roar.

*ROOOAAAARRRRR!*
