Apocalypse Regression's

Blessed and Cursed

SLASHY!

The blood-red light-covered sword swung across the snake's neck as thick as a bucket.

“This should be the last.”

Standing on top of a giant tree branch, Ark glanced down with a cold expression. The entire black armor that enveloped his body was filled with bloodstains.

Under the giant tree, there appeared pieces of mutated beast bodies piling up like mountains. The blood pooled into a red lake. However, the perpetrator who caused everything just stared calmly with no change in expression on his face.

After fighting for a very long time, the young man was actually close to reaching his limit.

Feeling his palms numb and his breathing not as smooth as usual, Ark clenched his teeth. To climb up to this place, too much energy was wasted. Even after consuming many potions, the pressure weighing down on his body was still too great.

“I can't procrastinate.”

After saying that, Ark looked up. Determined to go up.

Climbing past the giant branch to the smaller branch, Ark hiked higher. So high, he realized that he had passed through a layer of clouds.

Climbing for quite a while, Ark finally reached above the canopy of a giant tree. Unlike the other trees where the leaves spread, the leaves on top of this tree interweave strongly with each other. Not just strong, even flat and very sturdy.

It really looked like a gigantic altar that was above the clouds.

Landing on top of a tree, Ark felt a strong wind blow. Pulling back his wings, the young man looked around with a serious expression.

As far as the eye could see, Ark saw such a vast green floor. Outside the floor, there was a view of dark clouds covering all directions, whether it was in the west, east, north, south, even above it.

With the background of dark clouds with lightning dancing in it, looks strange objects in the center of ‘atap’ giant trees.

If looked carefully, it was a beautiful-looking light green crystal. Inside, there was a beautiful woman who looked so familiar. Yes ... She is Silvia.

CRACK IT!

Just about to get close, the crystal surface suddenly cracked. Just then, one foot stepped on the dark green floor. The green crystal instantly broke apart, spreading into grains and going carried a gust of wind.

In the center of the gigantic altar, there appeared the figure of a beautiful woman wearing a white dress made from countless interweaves of flowers. The figure opened its eyes, revealing a pair of cyan-colored eyes that looked at the world without concern.

Just then, a cyan-colored halo (ring) appeared above the woman's head. From his back, tens of thousands of flowers intertwined together, forming a large, pure-white winged pad.

From the looks of it, the creature really looked like an angel descending into the world.

It brings a sacred impression to those who see it.

“Turned a few steps, Man.”

Hearing a voice without a trace of emotion, Ark's eyes narrowed. Although she knew she was a bit delayed, she did not expect that Silvia had been made ‘wadah’ by the creature.

Perhaps many do not understand what the creature is, why it can appear, give strength, or even take a container for itself.

At the time of apocalypse, everything in the world is mutated. Not only zombies, animals, metal ores.

Among the many mutations, there are certainly special cases that occur. Unlike animals that have brains, plants usually have their own way of developing. However, among the countless plant species, some could awaken their own ‘awareness’.

The most famous is a type of giant tree whose body can cover a small town, or commonly referred to as ... World Tree.

The world tree itself is not only one in the world, but also not many. World Trees that have reached a certain level can awaken their own ‘awareness’. The creature has the ability to influence the weather around it. Keep it foggy and moist.

When awakening consciousness, the creature also has a more special power. It can produce fruit that is used to enhance the abilities of humans or animals. However, the fruit itself cannot be digested and will be rooted in the body.

The end result, despite gaining strength, its host was also within the control of the World Tree.

World Tree has the heart of a tree that can be implanted into the ‘wadah’ it chooses. There are disadvantages and advantages to doing so.

The drawback was that he no longer had the sturdy, strong, and hard-to-destroy body he had before. The advantage is having a new body that is not tied to the ground. Can be visited to various other places as he pleases.

More terrifyingly, not only had inherited the World Tree's ability, the creature had also inherited the pottery's ability.

The World Tree Spirit.

“What are you really? You look like a being referred to as a human, but you have the ability of some mutated beast.

Humans should not have the ability to take the power of other creatures. Or maybe, there are conditions to do it?”

The World Tree Spirit said to Ark in a flat tone. Tilting his head slightly, he said again.

“Who cares.”

After saying that, the World Tree Spirit pointed towards the Ark.

Telekinesis + plant control + mental strength at peak level 5 ...

Combining these forces, thousands of green leaves floated up and were hurled towards the Ark at incredible speed. It looks like an emerald knife that targets the lives of its prey.

Klang's! Klang's! Klang's!

Ark instantly slashed the leaf blade with incredible speed. Fending off all the leaf blades, the young man inhaled a deep breath.

In addition to the armor covering his body, a pair of wings and a helmet appeared. It completely instantly turned him into a jet-black knight with a cold and evil appearance. Totally inversely proportional to its opponent.

“Oh?”

The World Tree Spirit tilted its head. Two pairs of wings flapped, making it float quite high.

Just then, many green leaves floated and glistened like jade. In one look, the number was clearly over ten thousand.

Pointing towards the Ark with the movement of a finger gun, the World Tree Spirit said in a flat tone.

“DOR~”

Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!

Over ten thousand hard and sharp leaf blades rained down on the Ark. In response, the young man tried to fend off and avoid it. But because it was too fast and there were so many, Ark could not avoid them all.

Scratches after scratches appeared on the young man's black armor. Several slash wounds also appeared on the unprotected part. Blood containing corrosive toxins splashed onto the dark green floor, leaving some of the anchors badly damaged.

Exhausted, showered by attack after attack, the passive-looking Ark was completely pensive.

‘After returning, I cannot save the people I want to save.’

‘Anya die. Aisha also died while making sacrifices. It's still the same as before. Once again I fight you under these circumstances.

If I can't save you. In that case, same as it used to be ..’

Krincing!

Ark pulled the chains that encircled his body, pulled out dozens of small, finger-sized black bottles and made them break apart and wet the entire outer layer of his body.

DING!

The sound of metal clanking appeared as the Ark armor rubbed. Friction caused sparks that instantly lit up and coated the entire body of the young man. Putting on the horses, the previously blue-colored flame slowly changed color.

It turned white, then it darkened like ink.

If the appearance of the World Tree Spirit was like a holy being endowed by this chaotic world, then the appearance of Ark was like a vile being hated and cursed by this world. Totally opposite.

Controlling the flames to the extreme point that Ark could, the temperature around the young man instantly rose drastically. The leaves he was stepping on were burning. Having a stern expression in his eyes, the young man stared right into Silvia's eyes.

‘LET ME KILL YOU LIKE I USED TO.’
