Chapter 116: The world tree is just a big tree (1)
In the pitch-black darkness of a dream where not a single ray of light broke through, something with blazing red eyes glared fiercely at Flower.
That gaze—it felt like it was peeling her skin off and licking the flesh beneath. It drove her to the edge of madness. Breathing was difficult, her head spun, and she felt as if she’d vomit everything inside her at any moment.
After enduring the pain by sheer will, the creature approached her as if amused, letting out a low growl.
—Grrrr...
With that sound, Flower awoke, realizing it had been a dream and that the creature before her was gone.
But she couldn’t escape. Even in the safest place in the world, she couldn’t avoid that monster. How much longer would she have to live like this? Until when?
“I... I just want to die...”
Fear, anxiety, and despair gnawed at her mind. Her power, etched into her very soul, began to react to her emotions.
And that was why the ancient tree in N City went berserk and started to destroy the city.
Every day, new incidents and accidents unfolded in the world. Today was no exception.
[As you can see, herbicides don’t seem to have any effect...] [Heroes capable of emitting flames are working hard to burn the roots, but it’s insufficient...] [N City has entered a state of emergency, fully mobilizing to resolve the incident...]
N City, where the environmental organization leader Flower was hiding, was in an uproar. The city’s pride, the ancient tree, had started to grow abnormally and act strangely.
