Slurp.

My trunk wrapped around the world tree.

The entwined stem merged with the World Tree as if melting inward and disappeared.

Grumbling~

From there, vitality spread.

As the dead tree trunk and I merged, it began to come back to life.

Honestly, I was surprised too.

I thought it would be impossible.

Originally, the idea was to absorb the factors and nutrients of the body that were hidden inside and come out.

But why?

[Our wishes… .]

A small voice was heard.

At the same time, the forest began to help me.

All the spirits of the forest that had been with the World Tree attached themselves to the trunk of my powder, and together they began to restore the dead World Tree. An endless supply of nutrients came from the ground below.

As if I had become the world tree here.

The past of the world tree came to mind at the same time.

I vaguely see a memory.

Some memories are inherited.

‘Death is… .’

At this moment, I had a question.

What are the conditions for the World Tree to be alive?

In my case, I felt alive by moving my consciousness to various bodies.

So who exactly is ‘I’?

The body stored in a tree trunk house?

Or, a mental body that directly moves the physical body?

I know that both are important.

If I don’t have anything, I die.

If the main body is destroyed, you die, and if the mental body is destroyed, you are essentially dead.

Fortunately, neither the main body nor the mental body are in any danger. The spirit is not physical, so there is little danger, and the main body can be protected from most danger under the protection of the giant tree.

All elves and forests protect me.

The mind also has the ability to purify, making it difficult to be influenced by curses or magic.

In other words, dying is also very difficult… .

The world tree here is dead.

To be exact, my mind burned to death.

I feel it.

The spirit of the world tree here was burned to death.

Although the main body was physically damaged, this guy’s mental body died first.

I glimpsed some memories.

They lost the war against humans.

As many elves died.

Watching your own tree burning.

Watching my home being destroyed.

The spirit of the World Tree was destroyed as the tree trunk withered, hearing the bitter screams of the howling elves, and feeling the despair and misery of not being able to overcome the successive shocks.

In the end, it was self-destructed.

I thought about it for a moment.

If my house and village burn… .

That alone gives me chills. It’s a creepy feeling I can’t bear.

Illian, Tinia, and even Elasion.

When everything precious dies and the house you worked hard to raise for a long time burns down.

Will I be able to endure it?

The world tree here died like that.

The spirit died before the body.

‘It must have been hard for everyone…’ .’

Now I understand.

This was the essence of the anger that was vaguely spreading in the forest. This place remembered the anger that the World Tree must have felt that day.

700 years passed like that.

Nature has been restored, but the dead World Tree has not returned, and only a few surviving elves live here.

but… how?

At this point, I had a question.

This is a recreated world.

These are NPCs from a created world.

However, this world has a unique history that cannot be considered fake.

‘This… ‘Is it really a fake world?’

I can’t do that.

It’s definitely a real world.

No, maybe it actually existed… .

Suddenly these words came to mind.

The tower absorbs the world.

In that case, wouldn’t the recreated world be like a fragment of the world that really existed?

If that’s true… .

Were those elves really real?

No, are the recreated elves real?

There is currently no way to know.

You won’t know unless you see the initials again or climb to the top of the tower.

now… Let’s focus on the present.

Slurp.

My trunk digs deep into the world tree.

The clone curled up inside the tree and appeared to be trapped in the fruit.

Smurmur.

The withered tree comes back to life.

Numerous spirits pulled up the enormous nutrients stored below and supplied them to me, and I willingly became the blood vessel of the dead tree.

But this is not enough.

Even if life is forcibly injected like this, the tree will not come back to life. After a while, it will wither and wither again.

To change this.

Slurp.

Consciousness was transferred from the alter body.

My spirit body floated and moved along the trunk and down the dead world tree.

‘Is this…? .’

So we reached it.

In front of the main body that looks about 10 fists long.

The body of the dead World Tree had cracks as if it had been broken, but even so, enormous power was felt.

I stretched out my hand of consciousness.

It came into contact with the dead body.

Sigh.

Then a change occurred.

The body that was in contact with me began to shrink, emitting a gray light that no one could see.

Me and him are in sync.

We read information to each other.

At the same time, the broken body of the World Tree pursued its own change based on the natural energy and life information it had collected over a long period of time.

Ssssuk.

Gurgling-

It seemed as if the body was being reorganized, as if trying to become more similar to me.

There was no question.

I understood it right away.

It’s to connect with me.

Shall~

My mind, which was just touching, and the body of the dead World Tree began to overlap.

My spirit resides in the body.

No, it’s changing like mine.

If you wait a little bit like that.

Again.

The feeling of clear water droplets filling up.

I felt a new sense blooming.

It felt similar to the moment I first realized I was a plant.

I smelled the scent of the forest.

You can see the entire tree.

I can feel the leaves sprouting green.

In other words, the dead World Tree came back to life, and its body became completely mine.

absorption?

fusion?

Possession?

succession?

I don’t know what the principle is.

The world trees had a transcendental effect on each other, and I obtained another world tree body.

Kuuu… .

Instead, the main body was reduced to the size of four fists.

Instead, the cracked part was repaired, and my spirit was fully accepted.

To summarize, it is like this.

This tree is now me.

Grumbling-

To make that happen, I dyed and covered the World Tree with my stems for a while.

…

[I curse those of us who survived like this.]

[I will kill at least one more person and return home.]

[It’s been a long time since I gave up on a normal life. There is no place to return now.]

[Please do not forgive us.]

I heard a voice from earlier.

It’s a familiar voice I know.

It was the voice of Sirian, the High Dark Elf who guided me to the World Tree. To be exact, it was the voice that muttered in front of the tree while I was taking control of the World Tree.

At that moment, I felt uncomfortable.

How much time has passed?

What are the elves doing now?

Hwaak-

Your field of vision expands.

I felt the entire scenery of the forest over a 1km radius with my senses.

“An elf is coming from over there. Let’s all come together!!”

“Wipe it away at once!!”

“Don’t forgive humans!!”

“Kill all intruders!!”

Wow!!

Suddenly!!

“Kwaaa!!!

Wow!!

“Ugh!!?!”

Humans and Dark Elves.

The two sides are at fierce war.

Of course I couldn’t just leave it alone, so I moved the roots of the World Tree.

Kugugugugu!!!!

I have no intention of allowing a fight.

In an instant, the stem soared hugely, shooing away the humans and enveloping the elf village.

[Elves.]

A mouth was created halfway up the World Tree.

With the power of the new body, he created wind magic and spread his voice widely.

[You were elves, and you will remain elves. From now on, I will guide you.]

I know their sadness.

The former World Tree knows what it wants.

We must help those who deny that they are elves realize their identity and guide them.

“This is… iced coffee… … .”

“World Tree… .”

The elves all trembled.

Some dropped their weapons, some knelt, and some shed tears.

It was just a word, but they remembered a wish they had hidden for a long time.

If so, how should we lead it?

Honestly, I didn’t plan on doing this.

This is a recreated world, and they are just NPCs who will all disappear once the ordeal is over. This means that it would have been the same even if you had easily killed the elves from the beginning, absorbed their kindness, and cleared the ordeal.

But I accepted them like my children… At this moment, I was certain of one thing.

I can save them.

You can use the power of this tower.

first of all.

Coo coo coo!!!

[No one should fight. I will kill anyone who attacks this place. If you stay still, the elves won’t attack you either.]

Added more stem walls to the village.

Warned to prevent humans from attacking.

There were two goals for clearing the ordeal.

The first is the annihilation of the elves.

The second survived for a week.

If a week goes by without fighting, everyone will be able to pass the ordeal in harmony. The elves will also follow my will, so there will be no conflict between the two sides.

“If you don’t attack, the elves won’t attack either? Then there’s no need to fight, right?”

“Hehehe… This is my first time seeing an ordeal like this.”

“It’s a bit… difficult to attack that thing. .”

Fortunately, the human seemed to be surprised by my majesty and took a step back.

Elves were not much different.

“… Is it really the voice of the World Tree?”

“How could you refuse? Even though there is no reason for you to worry about us… .”

“We… We had to protect it… … .”

The elf looked at the huge tree.

I knelt or prayed towards the World Tree, which has now become my body. Although I denied it to myself, in the end, I was still an elf.

“… really… … You’re trying to help me.”

The same goes for High Elf Sirian.

She also put both hands together and prayed for a moment, then took control of all the elves.

“The World Tree is back!! He called us elves. So we are still elves, and there is no reason to be discouraged. Everyone, cheer up and follow the words of the World Tree!!”

“Ah… .”

There was no cheering, but there was trembling.

There was no sound, but there was an expression.

The suppressed anger was so deep that I couldn’t express it through words, so I gritted my teeth, clenched my fists, and expressed my positivity in silence.

New buds had bloomed, and all the elves held them in their hands.

I could feel those emotions spreading through the forest.

The spirit began to sing and dance.

“We… It’s an elf.”

Someone’s tone of voice.

Lots of wordless positivity.

“… I was always following.”

It’s just being passed down to me.

However.

[How on earth did this happen? This is not an ordeal like this! I mean everyone fight!!]

A being floating in the sky.

The manager appeared.

I wish it would work out like this without a fight, but the administrators are not the kind of people who want that. They are probably trying to put a lot of obstacles in the way.

just as expected.

Tiring!

◎︎ Joint quests have been added.

━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎

⊙︎ Kill the elf.

Description – For unknown reasons, a being protecting the elves has appeared. Go through it and kill the elf.

Objective – Kill the elf.

Reward – 5p per elf killed.

Failure – None.

━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎ ━︎

A message urging you to kill the elf quickly.

There were people who were tempted by this.

“5p per person… .”

“I’m recruiting a new party!!”

“There’s no way the ordeal will end smoothly, right? We’re bound to fight in the end! Killing a little and jumping out is one way.”

“I’m sorry, I originally meant to fight!!”

Some people already showed signs of fighting.

If so, I have no choice but to show it.

What happens if you attack me?

Coogoo soup!!

A huge arm was created on the World Tree.

A huge branch that appeared to be about 7 meters thick soared high into the sky.

“Well, what is it.”

“That tree is moving?… .”

My goal is to become an administrator.

I hit it hard.

Huuung!!!-

“What, what!! Why here!!?!-”

The panicked manager tried to quickly escape by moving his disc-shaped vehicle.

[Stop it. Wind.]

Pak!!

“Ugh!!?”

Blocked by a wall of wind.

At the same time, a huge shadow quickly appeared.

“Not!!-”

Sigh!

Whoa whoa!!!

Kwaaah!!!!-

I slammed it straight into the ground.

Even if it is at the ruler level, it is more than enough power to inflict damage on a manager level person.

Kugugu!!

Kugwagwagwa!!!… … .

Kuhwaaa

A shock wave sweeps through.

There was an earthquake in the forest.

I may have been thinking of going through the trials on my own, but I won’t allow that.

From now on, I am in control of this ordeal.
