I Can See Health Bars in Real Life

Chapter 825: Chapter 17: Gathering Heroes Far and Wide

Deep in the Magic Forest.

This should be the central area of this ancient forest.

"Suwako... has grown so tall now."

The silver-haired, silver-eyed girl tilted her head back, observing the gigantic plant before her that reaches the sky and covers four extremes, seemingly enveloping the entire Fantasy Land, and couldn’t help but express such a sentiment.

Clearly, she was the shortest among everyone back then, but now she has transformed into such a tall figure... truly, the world is unpredictable.

"?"

Gu Mo glanced at Shinki with some confusion, curious if her focus was misplaced.

However, misplaced or not... he shook his head and raised his hand with a snap of his fingers, directly lifting the barrier that cloaked this area. Of course, the cultivated tree species has sufficient advantages, just as the Imaginary Tree of the Atlantic Anomaly Zone possesses the power to distort the view of reality and illusion—

The tree species he cultivated naturally has such characteristics.

Even though none of the thirteen restraints were unlocked, it reached the stage of fully mature growth under such circumstances, barely approaching the slow-growing Imaginary Tree of the Russian Anomaly Zone, but still, it eventually matured completely...

Thus, possessing the characteristics and abilities only available during the mature phase is quite normal.

As long as one doesn’t approach here, generally people still won’t discover where exactly the main body of the gigantic tree lies.

And when you look from outside, you will find that World Tree, no matter from what angle or distance, you can only view the same image. The wind passes silently, the sunlight shines directly and penetrates, seeming illusory and unreal... This was originally the Tree of the Imaginary World that grew overnight, equipped with its own special effect filter.

"The progress of integration is even more ideal than anticipated, but the tree species itself has no consciousness, as long as its instincts can be suppressed, the process of Suwako’s divinity residing within it is very smooth..."

After lifting the barrier, Gu Mo also carefully observed, and then very satisfactorily nodded.

"If everything goes smoothly, tonight we can complete the transformation process, just in time for the celebration... It must be a tradition of Fantasy Land."

He is quite attentive to this matter, although he looks calm and composed, it’s all based on his constant control over the entire process. Precisely because he has a thorough understanding of Suwako’s condition, everything is within grasp, which is why he would behave in such a manner.

If he is not confident enough, how can he provide Kochiya and the others with confidence?

"It should be time to notify the Shimotsuki Shrine over there to prepare for tonight’s celebration..." He gently pointed a finger, a streak of light burst out, swiftly rushing toward the sky, disappearing in the direction of Demon Mountain, directly landing on the mountain top.

"It seems the others have also come..."

Shinki glanced back, sensing several energies approaching outside the Magic Forest.

"It’s normal, having given them such ample time, even by elimination they should have locked onto this place..." Gu Mo stretched lazily, speaking with a casual tone and laughter, not feeling surprised at all, it would be truly odd if they still couldn’t pinpoint this place.

That would be too inactive.

"Oh..." Shinki nodded, her eyes moving slightly, "So what do you plan to do?"

"..."

"..."

"This, although it’s somewhat capricious, I will join the fun..." The white-clad black-haired young man looked up at the giant tree ahead, his gaze moving straight up, into the clouds.

He seemed to be smiling as he spoke, his eyes showed slight nostalgia, "Speaking of which, it feels like it’s been a long time since we’ve played together, clearly back in Demon Mountain or Old Hell, every day was so lively. Sure enough... if you don’t keep in touch, relationships inevitably become estranged."

—Indeed the anomaly is quite good.

—In the lively atmosphere of everyone playing and fighting, it is easy to become united.

A subtle wave of emotion arose within him, making Gu Mo somewhat sentimental, it seems he really unconsciously wandered too far. After all, standing at the peak of divinity for too long, it’s easy to lose the warmth belonging to the human world, it is indeed lonely at the top.

At the next moment—

"Then let’s begin! I’ll first send a simple signal to summon everyone."

He stretched his hand in the air, gently flicking, as if spinning a globe, yet making the real world swiftly rotate in sync. The most direct manifestation was the sudden switch in the day-night system, the time background shifted to the other side like turning off a light bulb.

And in that instant—

Originally it should be noon, a sunny summer sky, directly changed to a starry night.

An ominous giant white full moon, hanging prominently in the sky.

......

Lost Bamboo Forest.

Shrouded in thick fog all year round, the visibility within the bamboo forest is very poor, inside there is a mysterious building called Eternal Pavilion. It gives people the feeling as if it has been passed down from ancient times unchanged, creating an illusion that time and history have been forgotten.

"Eh?"

The silver-haired pharmacist girl with her hair braided, was intently shaking a test tube in her hand, observing the dazzling transformation of the solution inside, when she suddenly noticed the change in the external environment, she also frowned and looked out the window.

It was as if time had suddenly skipped a part, darkness descended.

A novel transition without any warning.

The moon in the sky was big and round, bright and pure, emitting a cold moonlight.

"Is this a Technique?...No, there are no signs of Technique traces, such a large scale should be unhideable, is it some special ability?" Yakumo Eirin observed the moon in the sky with great interest, quickly pondering, and the reagent in her hand suddenly became less important at this moment.

......

"Heh, it’s just like the thought process of that Moon’s Brain..."

In the golden Sunflower Field, Kazami Yuuka, leisurely and elegantly watering the sunflowers with a spray can, lifted her head to glance at the sky.

The sunlight vanished, and night descended.

Kazami Yuuka’s thoughts drifted back to not long ago, to that night of eternal change, when the sage of the Eternal Pavilion used magic to turn the entire Earth into a closed room, thus separating Earth from the Moon. The false moon they created was almost more splendid than the real moon.

At this very moment, this scene is reminiscent and vaguely familiar, as if it shares a common theme.

Of course...

This technique seems more effortless and natural than the sage’s magic, like the hanging horns of an antelope, leaving no trace.

Moreover—

"Hmm? It’s not a fake moon..." Miss Flower Demon squinted her eyes, pondered for a moment, gently placed down the spray can, and gracefully picked up her parasol, heading towards the direction of the Magic Forest. Anyway, she clearly received the signal.

At present, she naturally embraces the opportunity.

Such chances are rare; that person never seriously gave her an opportunity to compete, often evading or refusing to fight. Now, to finally have this chance where the opponent is proactive, putting in some genuine effort is rare indeed.

Miss Flower Demon also wants to see just how strong this person will be, even if only a small part is revealed.

......

Red Demon Mansion.

Fluttering her bat wings, the loli vampire lady flew up into the sky, excitedly circling around.

"It’s dark, it’s dark... is it the handiwork of the Pharmacist from the Eternal Pavilion? But it doesn’t seem quite like it... hmm, whatever, as long as there’s no sun, it’s time for Miss Remilia to show off..." Remilia joyfully exclaimed, for as long as it was night, it was her time to act.

A pureblood vampire always has to avoid the sun, there’s no other way.

So despite Remilia’s excitement about this change, she was limited during the day, her movements restricted. Just now, they cleared the Illusion Array near the Lake of Mist, removed the giant tree as a Blinding Technique, and locked onto the final boss battle stage—

Immediately afterward, the battlefield environment changed directly.

It perfectly matched the lady’s desires; how could she not feel ecstatic?

"Charge, charge, charge! Sakuya, hurry up, hurry up, we’re heading over now!" The loli vampire grabbed her Divine Spear, named after the declaration of the Nordic Main God, excitedly urging her maid to go to the Magic Forest right away.

"We still need to be cautious; this power is somewhat... beyond imagination."

With long straight purple hair, Miss Witch said calmly, carefully observing the night sky and the bright moon with a feeling of quiet apprehension.

"This doesn’t seem like magic, but no matter. That unknown antagonist can directly summon night and moon, which means not only the moon is under their control, but they can also freely manipulate the Earth’s and the Sun’s relative position..."

Presumably based on the "common sense of Fantasy Land"...

Even though she doesn’t know who the opponent is, she instinctively thinks it might be another girl.

......

Meanwhile, Alice and her group had already reached the depths of the Magic Forest first.

Like a world unfolding, colossal trees towered aloft, reaching the sky. Their hundreds of meters height and thousands of meters girth was truly an unimaginable magnificent life form. Even when up close, it seemed like they still stood far away, the pulsations of such a great life being oppressive.

However—

The group of heroes, having come here, had no luxury to focus on these details.

"...Mama... Mommy."

Seeing the familiar figure appearing ahead, Alice bit her lip and instinctively called out this long-forgotten term, her face pale and dazed.

It suddenly dawned on her how long she had been away from home.

"Mama? Is she your mama, Xiao Ai?!"

Descending from her broom, Kirisame Marisa, who was just subconsciously observing the unfamiliar silver-haired, silver-eyed girl opposite, was startled by her friend’s call. Could it be that she was Xiao Ai’s mother?

Even the Red and White Witch, who landed last, was a bit shocked.

"Oh! Xiao Ai, you’re here!"

An exclamation of surprise.

Miss Shinki beamed with joy, having long sensed Alice’s arrival, decisively seizing an opportunity to come out and greet them first—

She planned to have a heart-to-heart with her daughter!

However, upon seeing Xiao Ai, her joy was genuine and from the heart... after all, it was her daughter; although initially created with some strange ideas, she poured boundless love and effort into her.

Alice’s emergence marked a self-discovery for Miss Shinki.

For someone born as a race capable of creation, her spirit was difficult to change; time couldn’t affect her...

Only the transformation brought by maternal love led to Miss Shinki’s growth.
