"Intruder, you've killed all the Hell creatures?!" Helmir was very suspicious. His soul may have just reawakened, but his mind was clear as the Sage of the Dark World.
There was no way this intruder could have killed all the Hell creatures!
"Yes!" Abel repeated emphatically.
"You've defeated the World Stone Keeper's demon?" Helmir asked suspiciously again.
"Mr Helmir, are you talking about Baal? He is very strong, but I defeated him nonetheless!" Abel smiled.
"Really?" Helmir started to believe, and joy emerged in his voice. If Abel had never been to the World Stone Keeper, there was no way he would know the name of Baal!
Since Abel was still alive, it could only mean one thing!
"Intruder, tell me, how many people are still alive in this world?' Helmir asked urgently.
His voice was shaking with excitement, as he thought the time for humans to flourish was finally about to return.
"Me Helmir, I'm sorry to tell you this, but I've explored every inch of the five continents and I have not found a surviving human. The only thing left were weeping souls!" Abel sighed.
Helmir paused, and then he began to roar in the most pained tone, "No! that can't be true!" The Inifuss Tree began to shake. "You are lying! I can't sense your presence, you are a demon!" Helmir continued to roar.
"I am not lying. The reason I have not shown up is because my current state is very hard to describe. I feel like I am the god of this world, and I am in control of everything!" Abel explained calmly.
He had full control over the Dark World, but he still didn't have a clear idea what he was. After all, he still had potential to level up after reaching Rank 45 in almost an instant.
"No! You are lying! What do you want from me?!" Helmir was having a mental breakdown and kept screaming.
Abel did not reply. Instead, he focused his Power of The Will on the Inifuss Tree. A strange energy was transferred to its dried branches. They immediately turned green and regained their health.
At the same time, clouds began to form above and rain poured down. Under the nourishment, the Inifuss tree began to grow.
Helmir was stunned as he mumbled, "The power to control the world! Impossible! You would need all the World Stones to do it…!"
"Mr Helmir, you really are a sage! Yes I have all the World Stones, and I've cultivated a World Tree with my soul!" Abel confirmed.
"World Tree, there is now a World Tree in the Dark World! If it had been cultivated earlier, even Hell and Heaven wouldn't have been able to enter the Dark World!" Helmir sighed in a shaky voice.
Helmir was only able to speak with the vibrations of his soul. If not, Abel would have had to use his Soul Speaker ability.
But after a round of emotional roller coasters, his soul started to weaken once again, so Abel quickly poured him another glass of life water. "Mr Helmir, can you tell me more about the World Tree? I only got it by luck!" he asked again.
"Of course! The World Tree is a special life form. It is totally at one with the world and simultaneously protects it. As long as the World Tree is around, even the most powerful being of another world won't be able to enter. Any world with a World Tree will be wonderful!" Helmir explained after calming down.
"What's the difference between a Tree of Life and a World Tree?" Abel asked carefully.
A Tree of Life is a World Tree in its infancy. If a powerful god sacrificed the most important part of his body to the Tree of Life in the form of a World Stone, it would become a World Tree," Helmir informed him.
He did not explain how hard it was to create a World Stone. Such a sacrifice would be detrimental to even the most powerful god. Therefore, only the ones with the purest love for their world would do such a thing for its safety.
The Dark World had the opportunity, but it was too bad a Tree of Life couldn't form in time, even after the formation of a World Stone.
Abel considered the Central Continent. Even with only a Tree of Life, no powerful Hell demon had ever entered.
"Mr Helmir, do you know how I can break the limitations of this world?" Abel finally asked about what he wanted the most.
"I'm sorry, my knowledge came from the records from Heaven and Hell. They did not mention anything about the limitations of this world!" Helmir shook his head.
"No worries, you've already helped me a lot. Too bad I still can't resurrect you!" Abel said gratefully.
"Yes, since you already have the power to control plants, you will soon be able to control intelligent lives if you grow more powerful. Then you will be able to resurrect the dead as well!" Excitement returned to Helmir again.
"I'm not sure about that!" Abel didn't want to disappoint Helmir.
"No, I know you will!" Helmir refuted him with utmost respect.
"I will do my best if I can!" Abel replied cautiously.
"My great Lord, may I know your name?" Helmir asked quickly.
"Abel, Abel Harry. I am a Rank 45 Wizard!" Abel introduced himself.
"I will wait here for your salvation!" Helmir declared excitedly.
Abel retracted his Power of The Will. He had confirmed a lot of things with Helmir, but he still didn't have a clear idea of what he should do next. With his current Rank, no one could guide him.
Abel turned to his two other Inner Worlds. They were extremely empty, and large amounts of Laws and Light Energy were needed to evolve them.
However, he was running out of time. The conversation just now had taken him a few hours.
He immediately withdrew his Inner Worlds and focused on the World Stone Heart. It was growing perfectly in Doff's Kingdom. He had the feeling that it would soon mature.
Don't underestimate a Rank 45. Not only had his power grown, his senses had followed suit.
"Maybe I will soon rule that world, too!" Abel mumbled to himself with a smile.
——-
Abel stepped out of the training room in Doff's Kingdom and returned to the Golden Castle. He immediately received a message from the Magic Circle Spirit.
"Master, Headmaster Eugene invited you to head to the dragons ten minutes ago!"
Abel knew it must be the Dragon God heading towards the Warding Wall. He waved at Little Bro and they disappeared together from the Castle.
As soon as he stepped out of the Teleportation Circle, he sensed the roaring energy of four Dragon Headmasters and the Dragon God.
"My Dragon God, I apologize for being late!" Abel bowed, along with Little Bro.
"Headmaster Abel, you are right on time. We are just about to go!" Headmaster Eugene laughed.
As the other three Dragon Headmasters greeted Abel, the Dragon God was looking a little weird.
The Dragon God's face changed a few times, but he finally decided to not ask any questions. Instead he looked at Little Bro and said "Abel, I think you should use the Dragon Scale I gave you on yourself instead!"
The four Dragon Headmasters paused. Why had their god said that?
The Dragon God sensed Abel was trying his best to hide his energy. Although the other dragons couldn't tell, the Dragon God knew something was up.
He had no idea how Abel's energy could change so much in a day. It was reaching the limitations of this world, a level even the Dragon God couldn't achieve!
If they weren't in a hurry to get to the Warding Wall, the Dragon God would definitely have had a long chat with Abel. Still, he was very happy that someone so powerful was able to come from the Dragons!
Especially with Little Bro's help, the Dragons would definitely be the new dominant force of this world!
Abel knew what the Dragon God was thinking, so he turned to Little Bro and snatched the Dragon Scale from him. Little Bro immediately returned to four meters tall and he was quickly put back in the Monster Ring.
Anyone would think twice before attacking him at this rank, so it wouldn't make much difference if Little Bro was in his Monster Ring or standing beside him.
Once again, that move left the Dragon God speechless. It was total disrespect for the powerful, but whatever…
As Abel held the Dragon Scale in his hand, all of his new energy was hidden; the only thing remaining was his Dragon energy.
The Dragon God refocused and ordered, "Let's go!"
Six beams flew towards the Teleportation Circle.
The Dragons arrived at the Warding Wall. By that point, Wizard Basham and eighteen God Rank Wizards had gathered.
Since Wizard Basham has grown more powerful, he no longer needed the gods. They would not be able to do anything.
"It's been a while, Dragon God!" Wizard Basham laughed in greeting.
"Basham, it seems like you beat me to it. I'll give you my utmost respect!" the Dragon God replied.
"I'm just lucky, but the Demon from Beyond still has some advantages!" Wizard Basham continued to smile.
'That's why we'll team up to defeat him!" the Dragon God nodded.
