Chapter 57 The successor of the prophecy?
"Who? Who is talking?"
The sudden sound made Donald's attention very concentrated in an instant. Although his mental power was still not spread out, his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings.
"I'm right in front of you."
There was still a thick and low sound. Donald looked forward with the sound, and the only one who appeared in his sight was the giant tree man.
"You haven't... woke up?"
Staring at the tree man, the word "death" almost blurted out. When it came to his mouth, it swallowed it back and turned it into a greeting.
If this demigod is not dead, Donald and Stephanie's actions invade into the secret realm will be enough for each other to completely crush them here.
"No need to guess. I had completely withered and died decades ago. What I have left behind is only part of my soul."
This time, accompanied by the sound, there was a dark green light under the feet of the giant tree man. An old man wearing a green robe, gray hair and kind-looking, slowly walked out of it with a scepter made of vines in his hand.
The old man walked up to Donald and looked him in the eyes.
"You are here to be the choice of fate, the forest guardian of the future!"
Donald recognized every word in this sentence, but it was a bit difficult for him to understand.
The choice of fate?
The future forest guardian?
"I don't understand what you mean."
Subconsciously he took two steps back and opened the distance. Although Donald did not want to admit that he was afraid, his body responded first in the face of a former demigod.
"After seeing the prophetic scene, you will understand that I need a successor to inherit everything I have and protect this forest in the coming disaster!"
The old man waved his scepter and pointed at the low table. A dark green crystal appeared on it, and then said,
"Now, sit in front of that low table, and the crystal records the future scene I saw with my secret technique before death."
Donald turned slightly, glanced at the huge number of wood elves behind him, pursed his lips, and walked towards the low table.
Behind him, the kind old man still had a smile on his face, and the indifference in his eyes when he looked at Donald's back was still the same.
Sitting next to the low table, under the gaze of the old man and Stephanie, Donald's hand reached towards the crystal, without the need for the permeation of mental power. Just the moment the fingertips touched, a brilliant colorful light projected out from all directions.
At first, it was just some ups and downs, some of which were like aurora, and then the light gradually closed and finally condensed in a light spot.
Of course, Donald and Stephanie's eyes gathered on it, and the light ball suddenly burst into a dazzling light.
"Hiss~"
Even Donald couldn't help but close his eyes when he was unprepared to being exposed to strong light.
When he opened his eyes again, the surrounding scene was not the secret cave where he was the previous second, but returned to the howling forest.
It's just that when Donald came in it was early in the morning, but now it's late in the night.
"Donald, if I remember correctly, wasn't the sun just rising outside when we came in?"
Stephanie was also affected. She walked to Donald, looked around her vigilantly, trying to find Anthony and the others' trails.
"This should be the prophecy scene that we just saw, but isn't this an ordinary woodland? Where did it come from..."
His eyes accidentally turned to the distant sky, and the next second Donald stayed in place.
Stephanie looked over with Donald's gaze and saw a starry night sky.
At first glance, she didn't think there was anything wrong, it was still the night sky and the stars, but when she took a few more glances, she felt something was wrong.
There is something missing in the starry sky in front of you...
This idea may sound absurd, but it is the personal experience of Stephanie and Donald.
It was not because the clouds at night covered the starlight, nor because their eyesight was a problem because of the impact of the strong light just now.
This starry sky is broken!
Within just a few minutes when Donald appeared here, he saw a large area of darkness in the starry sky. The stars that should have existed in those places were not sure where they went.
"The gods ascend their gods to the starry sky in the sacred voice of mortals, and overlook the earth from the sanctuary of the sanctuary of the mortal world..."
This is what Donald recorded in several religious popular books on the bookshelf when he was living at Putton's home, but now he thinks about it and makes him feel a little dazed.
Does the broken starry sky in front of you mean some possibility that mortals dare not imagine?
Boom~boom~boom~boom~
A series of explosions suddenly came from the distance of the forest. Donald turned his head and looked over. The first thing that caught his eye was the sky-sky fire and those existences that were floating in the mid-air of the forest, looking extremely strange.
Donald didn't know how to clearly describe those monsters. They were some like a product twisted by the accumulation of dirty dirt from various sewers. The shape was a bit like a hydrate, but it was definitely tens of millions of times more terrifying than it!
They paraded in the air, and wherever they passed, there was a strong wind mixed with harsh whistles sweeping through the woodland, uprooting the trees!
"Donald...is that person you?"
Stephanie pointed to the woodland in front of the right, where a man with a very similar figure to Donald was rushing towards them.
After getting closer, I looked closely and found that it was indeed Donald... To be precise, it should be the future Donald.
Behind him, there were some followers, including a few people in the carriage team now and some humans that Donald didn't know, who looked like his subordinates.
"Anthony, you take a team of people to the east, Lilo, you take a team of people to the west, Stephanie and Julia follow me, and you must stop its momentum before the disaster expands, and I will let the tree man provide you with help."
Just before Donald's eyes, he gave instructions to everyone in the future. A large number of tree people rose up around the team the next second, carrying the surrounding Anthony and others forward with great strides.
"How could you summon such a tree man? As the old man said, you became the guardian of the Howling Forest?"
There was a bright light in Stephanie's eyes. For her, Donald's strength was one of her few expectations, not to mention that this kind of guardian identity sounded very stylish.
"It's possible, could it be that what he said is true?"
With his mouth in harmony, Donald's eyes were always on the future Lilo.
At this time, she was standing above a tree man's head, holding a long sword in her hand, and leading a few people to the west.
He curled his lips in slightest, and Donald put his hands in his pocket. If someone stood in front of him at this time, he would find that his eyes were actually without focus.
Donald is thinking.
Because only he knows...
Buzz ~
The buzzing sound in his mind made Donald involuntarily bend down. Stephanie covered her head, obviously having the same symptoms as him.
And this sound is soon replaced by another louder sound.
"Kill! Kill those monsters!"
Someone was shouting, and the murderous intent was full of words. Donald looked up and the surrounding scenery turned into an unprecedented city, and he and Stephanie were on the central avenue of the city.
To their left was an army in uniform clothing, holding steam spears, arranged in an array, and constantly shooting forward. In the hazy smoke from the muzzle, Donald watched bullets penetrate his body and flew towards the other end.
As the bullets flew toward the other side, Stephanie's hands tightly clutched Donald's sleeves. Although she knew that this was just a illusion, and what appeared here could not hurt her, it did not prevent her from feeling scared.
Because the other side of the street is like hell on earth!
Large pieces of broken building ruins appeared, twisted human corpses scattered everywhere in the ruins, and beside these corpses, a group of tall monsters with black bristles and four arms running towards this side, and their heads were particularly eye-catching.
In fact, rather than saying that it was the monster's head, Donald would rather call it a bloody mouth growing vertically, with two scarlet eyes growing on the left and right sides of the mouth, which was particularly disgusting.
Donald really couldn't have the heart to think about whether there was a brain inside such a head, because just thinking about where these monsters came from involves most of his energy.
"Donald, in heaven...what is that in heaven?"
Stephanie raised her hand and pointed to the night sky. Under the still broken starry sky, a "dark cloud" was floating.
After getting closer, Donald felt a chill rising from his spine.
That was clearly hundreds of mixed monsters with bat wings that looked like a cross between wild beasts!
The light dimmed at this time, and all the pictures in front of you turned into light and returned to the original spectral state.
"This is just part of the prophecy, and when I see your performance in this prophecy scene, I know that one day you will come here, inherit all of me, become the guardian of this forest, and also become their god!"
The old man put away the crystal again and said to Donald.
"But is this a bit hasty? If I don't integrate with your abilities, after all, I only know some superficial small spells, and my abilities can only give some dead objects a short life..."
Donald said in a little "trepidated".
"You are the one chosen by fate. Your abilities are extremely compatible with my strength. Otherwise, you would not have been able to come here. When you inherit my strength, you will naturally understand."
The old man seemed to have prepared his words long ago and answered with a smile.
"So that's it, then how should I inherit your strength?"
With a perfect surprise expression, Donald seemed a little impatient.
"It's very simple. I keep all my strength in a tree heart. As long as I eat it, you will automatically inherit everything I have. The rest is just to take time to digest it."
Looking at the young man with anticipation, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said.
Chapter completed!
