Episode 248 Tree Mother -3-
Stir.
Swing a long wooden stick.
The thick liquid bubbled and the rare ingredients that had been floating on the surface like drowned animals began to melt little by little.
Where am I? Who am I?
That expression is evident on Baek So-rin’s face.
The same goes for other people.
Janet, Carly, Seo Woo-jin, Kim Cheol-kwon, Kim Ma-beop, and Kim Sa-je are all stirring the magic fertilizer with soulless faces.
“Just try a little harder.”
I saw the magic fertilizer and said.
“It’s almost done. Maybe 99%?”
“Teacher… … This is too hard.”
“Oh, of course it’s hard.”
Because magic power is involved.
A magical fertilizer that looks like a pile of mud.
The specific gravity is extremely high.
It’s to the point where it won’t budge even with a little force.
A superhuman of at least level 5 was required to infuse magical power into the fertilizer to soften it and mix it properly.
Hwaaaa!
I wasn’t playing around either.
It’s radiating the highest flame while riding on red.
Just a little bit, just enough to make it warm enough for an ordinary person to feel.
[Jijihwa][Magic Brain][Magic Soul]
[Concentration][Meditation][Origin]
It was never easy.
It would be easier to just give it your all.
Even if you use it weakly, it is easy to reduce a single tree to ashes, which is the highest level characteristic.
But it fires like a warm spring breeze?
Like turning on a heater?
Like basking in the sun?
My head was about to explode trying to control the heights.
It was even more so because I had to write a wish and recite things like [grow up well] and [grow up pretty].
[I guess we can start.]
“Let’s go.”
[i get it.]
Wow.
The sky river floating above my head moved majestically.
Tilt the hull slightly.
The river extending from there.
No, the element of pure water.
The watery baptism descends majestically.
Towards the monster village where all the wooden houses were demolished and turned into large tree stumps.
[laarararararara]
The tree goddess sang a song of joy.
A paradise as warm as the sun.
The cleanest water in the world.
A condition that any plant would be happy about.
I made a gesture while maintaining my composure.
“Add fertilizer!”
“Let’s go! Sob!”
Seo Woo-jin lifted the wooden cauldron while using his dragon.
A weight that easily exceeds 1 ton.
But it’s funny to a level 6 warrior type superhuman.
Seo Woo-jin held the wooden pot in his arms and shook it back and forth.
Naturally, magic fertilizer overflowed.
Carly used her clones to spread magical fertilizer all over the monster village.
Then Janet firmly tamps the magic fertilizer into the ground.
“Are you done?”
Kim Cheol-kwon asks with an expectant face.
I shook my head coolly.
“It’s far. Keep making fertilizer. According to my calculations, I should make as much as I have made so far.”
“Your Majesty, then you’ll end up using both the dragon and the bird’s corpse.”
“You can use it all. It can all be turned into fertilizer.”
“What a pity… … .”
“It’s just a bunch of crap anyway.”
What happens if you save money?
It becomes shit.
If you want to get the blood of a god, you have to give up three corpses without hesitation.

Kim Magic waved his hand.
“Brother Iron Fist! Let’s try a little harder!”
Kim Sa-je also clenched his fist next to him.
“I feel like my divine powers are getting stronger as I make fertilizer.”
“Hey you too?”
That’s what wizards and priests are like.
Just by handling high-quality materials, your understanding of the world deepens.
Priest Kim originally needed to eat gold to become stronger, but in reality, he had passed the point where he could become stronger just by eating gold.
“I have received something, so I have to work hard!”
Kim Magic spread his hands wide and beat his chest.
On his finger was a shining Arctic ring, around his neck was a shining Arctic necklace, and on his body was a shining Dragon Set armor.
The gifts I gave.
So, even though they are hesitant, everyone is working hard.
Because I already received it.
Kkuddeuk.
Only after spreading the fertilizer for a long time did there finally appear to be a reaction.
The entire monster village began to shake and the trees began to stand up.
The ground on which everyone was standing rises greatly.
At first, it was about the size of a monster village.
But soon the range widened, soaring over a radius of several hundred meters.
“Everyone, get down to the ground.”
I looked outside the monster village.
“As you go around, bury fertilizer in the ground. Keep duplicating nectar and elixir. And don’t forget the magic potion.”
“Hey buddy. This is… … .”
“Okay, I figured it out.”
The flowerpot was temporarily taken over by a skeleton snake.
What the pre-copied nectar and elixir weren’t enough for.
Even now, we are producing nectar and elixirs one by one.
Then, when the bad luck gauge reached its chin, the skeleton snake called me.
Because I have to reset my bad luck by going against the flow.
‘It’s hard.’
It was a task that required a high level of mental strength and concentration.
Maintain the highest standard.
Use reverse oscillation periodically.
I wish there was no cooldown time, especially since I have to wait a while after using it once.
Instead, the mother tree grew rapidly.
At a speed that is visible to the eye.
It seems to grow at a rate of several meters per second.
A few minutes after the earth rose, we raced past the hundred-meter skyscrapers and toward the Sky River.
[Black.]
The goddess called me.
[Growing too fast.]
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
[No good. Your purpose, Black Sword, is to grow the tree child into a world tree, not to create a mutant giant tree. Take a good look with your omnipotent eyes.]
Equipped with ear and sixth sense.
Prophet’s Ring and Golden Eye are fully activated.
Looking closely at the wooden gnome, I could understand what the goddess meant.
The future appearance of the Tree Mother as analyzed by the Dragon Monarch.
Instead of a majestic and noble tree, there was a twisted tree covered in grotesquely deformed ivy, mold, and monster flowers.
“Why are you doing that?”
[I told you, you’re growing too fast.]
“Why is that… … .”
[A tree child is a tree. A tree experiences four seasons and goes through cyclical periods of growth and contraction. During this process, it removes unnecessary and overgrown parts. Only then can it become a complete world tree. But what about now? It is not experiencing spring, summer, fall, and winter, but is only experiencing summer and is growing excessively.]
I know what you mean.
There was similar content in the game.
Pruning.
As I was supplying light, water, and nutrients infinitely, I had to touch things here and there as events occurred.
‘It’s a cancer cell.’
I checked the red dot marked on the tree trunk.
Very small cells now.
But it is growing rapidly.
Later on, they appear to become mutant vines, molds, monster flowers, the beginnings of distortion, and so on.
I instinctively tried to draw my sword, but then stopped.
Come to think of it, I can’t do the pruning myself, right?
That we must devote all our energy to maintaining the highest standard.
In that case, I guess I’ll have to use my disciples.
“Sorin. Janet. Carly. And Woojin.”
“yes!”
“Just speak!”
“why?”
“What should I do?”
“I’ve almost made the fertilizer, so leave it to the others and just dig up the area I specify. Got it?”
“Just leave it to me!”
All four are wearing dragon helmets.
Of course, cutting-edge equipment has been installed.
Like the dragon monarch’s crown.
I shared the red dot I saw.
On the one hand, he searched through his golf bag and took out a hail storm.
‘The growth rate is too fast.’
Even though the tree godmother is of low rank, she is still a divinity.
The attacks of disciples who are only level 6 are not working properly.
I had to use my hands.
Thud! Thud!
Equipped with a Bingbaek, he created a hailstorm.
The ice grenade flew by.
Settled exactly on the red dot.
The surrounding space froze with a loud crash.
No more, no less, just the size of the red dot I see.
“Guys, let’s go!”
“Yeah! Sister!”
“Me first!”
“Are you going alone again? Slow down!”
The disciples rushed forward as if competing with each other.
The fastest one is, of course, Kali.
It seemed as if it was disappearing, but it was rising from the icy shadow.
Next are Baek So-rin and Seo Woo-jin.
If it were the past, Baek So-rin would have been faster, but Seo Woo-jin woke up [Lee Hyeong-hwan] without even seeing him.
As a result, they were running one after another, sometimes ahead and sometimes behind.
Janet, who had no mobility device… …just blew up the lion’s mane.
“be careful.”
I gave a warning just in case.
“Monsters will be born.”
Words became seeds.
A few pieces of ice broke and monsters crawled out.
Cancer cells that have come to life.
Monsters that looked like a mixture of plants, bugs, and mold were gaping their hideous mouths.
“Wow! You’re really ugly.”
Kali dug into the gap between the monsters.
Before I knew it, the bloody sword that had been pulled out of my body was dancing.
Not just a simple dance, but a ritual dedicated to the goddess Kali.
Unlike my Lightning Kalaratree, Shadow Kalaratree has the power to penetrate defenses and crushes monsters.
“Are you just trying to have fun?”
Baek So-rin rushed forward, roaring like a runaway train.
A thousand-year-old star is a thousand-year-old star.
His eyes turn red and he splits the monsters apart.
Movements that are rough and rugged, yet hide sophistication and delicacy.
“It’s a bit weak. I think it’s around level 3?”
Seo Woo Jin is cool.
As expected of a warrior, he continues to strike with restrained and sharp sword strikes.
That doesn’t mean it’s weak.
The black petals blooming in profusion look lethal to me.
“Leave some for me too!”
Janet shouted cheerfully.
A look that has clearly brightened due to the influence of Baek So-rin and Kali.
But the sword is still heavy.
The black and white sword energy contained in the pitch-black sword splits monsters apart with the momentum that could even split the world tree.
I nodded quietly.
All the disciples were perfected.
The set of characteristics I had imagined in my head was reproduced exactly as is.
However, since it is only level 6, the sword’s owner remains a sword expert.
‘I just need you to level up.’
The plan is all set.
It’s not that difficult.
Because all four are SSR-grade.
The growth limit for SSR-grade is level 7.
You don’t have to go through the trouble of making a reconstitution potion or anything, just fill up your experience points and your level will go up.
“Faster! Move faster!”
“It’s too far!”
“You keep getting further and further away!”
“I’ll come up with a plan. Just move like that.”
[Operation] exists for times like this.
While I was at it, I also appropriately equipped it with command, order, and control and utilized it.
Dragon Monarch Crown shared by drawing colorful arrows in augmented reality.
Far away are Baek So-rin and Seo Woo-jin.
If it’s too far away or difficult to access, Kali.
The closest and largest one is Janet.
Naturally, the speed at which the disciples moved and the speed at which they dealt with monsters also became much faster.
“Whew, Whew, Master Sword! It’s all done!”
By then the fertilizer dough will also be complete.
Even though I had spread so much, there was still a mountain of magic fertilizer piled up.
Let’s look there, percussion, the magic fertilizer emits light.
A radiance visible only to me.
It’s not that it shines in reality, it’s just how I perceive it.
Perhaps that magic fertilizer will be much more effective than any other magic fertilizer we’ve used so far.
[Popular] Acquire characteristics.
I folded five fingers.
‘There’s only one general left.’
It’s just a matter of time before you can acquire the captain and combine the generals.
This will be of great help as the war with the old Father’s Sect is just around the corner.
“Just a little more effort! If I just use up all of these, it’ll be over!”
“Ugh, Your Majesty! You have to give me a lot of bonus money?”
“Of course. I’ll make it level 6.”
“Brother! Me too!”
“Need a reconstitution potion? Or a special potion? Leave it to me.”
The three of them put forth their last effort.
Magic fertilizer is also fertilizer.
It smells really bad.
It’s not as sticky and gritty as the surströmming I used to rub to make dog noses, but it’s still a bit sticky and gross and has a bad smell.
The three of them opened their mouths and noses inside the dragon helmets.
That’s the biggest problem.
Even the protective magic light can be pierced.
In fact, to that extent, it can provide nutrients to the world tree.
This is not your average, ordinary fertilizer.
Thump thump!
“asleep!”
“Ugh, it’s too high up here!”
“Whew!”
“We’re done!”
How many hours have passed?
As the sun slowly sets into the western sky.
Finally, one big thing was accomplished.
All fertilizers applied.
It doesn’t end there.
The tops of the tree trunks stretched out in a straight line, piercing the clouds in the sky.
Phew!
I threw down the bottle of medicine I was drinking from.
I drank so many magic potions that my stomach is about to burst.
I had no choice but to keep the high ground and use reverse tactics while giving instructions to my disciples.
[You worked hard. Geumseong.]
The goddess of the river spoke from the sky.
[It’s all over.]
And then the disparate voices ring out one after another.
[……thank you.]
It definitely feels different from the majestic river goddess.
A much younger and more refreshing tone.
It was a completely different atmosphere from the gigantic and majestic appearance of the World Tree standing firm before my eyes.
[I am indebted to you.]
“No. I am the one who has been indebted to you for a long time.”
[No. You ended up saving my child back then. I thought I would lose the skeleton baby for sure.]
Should I call you a tree?
Like the goddess of the river, the fish-people treat mutants as their own children even though they didn’t receive blood from them.
I just quietly bowed my head once.
Then a childish laughter crossed my mind.
[I really owe you a great favor. I thought that from the first time I saw you, but you are truly amazing, Geomseong. My mother would be amazed if she saw you too.]
“Mother?”
[I’m talking about Yggdrasil. The one who was burned during Ragnarok. She is the mother of all the world trees and sacred trees in this world.]
right.
There was such a setting.
Sarrurur.
The world tree stretched its legs.
Then, branches grow from the World Tree, which had only been a trunk.
High in the sky.
Beyond that horizon.
Casting a shadow that seemed to cover the ends of the earth.
It was a strange sight.
Clearly, the tree branches and shadows are lengthening and melting into the air.
The full picture of the World Tree can only be confirmed by those who are transcendent or higher.
Below that, all I could see was the huge, gigantic trunk of the World Tree and its spreading branches.
The leaves and petals are not visible.
Too far away and distant. Or beyond perception. Or overwhelming the senses.
“Wow.”
“wow…….”
The manifested god.
The first god born after the War of Destruction.
The god, the world tree, spoke to me.
[Okay. Should I give you a reward?]
sure.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
What on earth will you give me?
The fruit of the World Tree? The leaves? The blessing?
As I was mentally racking my brain over the rewards from the game, the World Tree did something unimaginable.
Woozikkun!
I broke a branch.
It’s called a tree branch, but it’s a tree branch that’s bigger than an average building.
Meanwhile, a shy voice rang in my head.
[It’s a gift.]
Oh, so… … .
Are you giving that to me?
A branch of the world tree?
