Chapter 1368: The Glory of the Falling Star

Following the [Battle of the King of Light - Queen Mador], the group walked through a long corridor in the palace and came to a big door at the end.

[Light World King Battle - Queen Madol] She stopped in front of the door, turned around and looked at Judai and the others and said, "Behind this door is the place where the thing I mentioned is. You should have remembered what I explained to you on the way, right?"

"It's completely different from the dark games we encountered before. The more special the power or physique of a person, the more difficult it is to approach them casually. And the game starts from the moment you open the door and walk in."

Marufuji Sho repeated what he had said to them before [Light Realm King War - Queen Madol], and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Is it really okay? Letting people like us visit such an important place casually, isn't it said that it concerns the safety and survival of this world?"

"The specific situation cannot be understood by just explaining it. Perhaps you will know it after you watch it." [Battle of the King of Light - Queen Madol] shook her head helplessly and turned aside to make way for the gate.

It was mentioned in the previous description of [Battle of the King of Light - Queen Mador] that the so-called "special powers" and "special physiques" include but are not limited to the abilities of elves, bodies transformed by alchemy, etc. Therefore, among the six people in the group, only Misawa Daichi, Marufuji Sho and Caesar Ryo can safely enter the door. Although others can also enter, they need to be relatively careful to avoid accidents.

And it seemed that Misawa had been brought here by [Light World War - Queen Madore] before. He was not in a hurry to open the door first, but instead signaled Marufuji Sho, Caesar Ryo and others to go in first. However, Caesar was not very interested in saving the world, so he was the first to open the door and led everyone into the place regarded as "the place of hope" by [Light World War - Queen Madore].

Reaching out and touching the soft and textured door handle wrapped in dried and solidified vines, Marufuji Sho subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but when he thought of Judai waiting for him to open the door behind him, he only flinched for a moment, and quickly mustered up the courage to turn the door handle and open the closed door a crack.

From the crack in the door, abundant natural air poured in, even more abundant than the air in the dense forest that Queen Mador had led everyone through before [Battle of the King of Light - Queen Madore]. At the same time, a warm yellow-green light came from the cracks, making it difficult to see what was behind it.

"Oh!"

Since Marufuji Sho was the one who opened the door, he was the first to see the scene behind the door, but the next moment he slammed the door shut in panic, turned around and looked at Juudai and his companions with wide eyes.

"What, what's wrong, Sho?" Judai was a little frightened by Marufuji Sho's sudden jump, and asked him curiously, "Why do you look like you saw a super monster in a special effects movie?"

"Although I'm not sure, it seems to be very similar, big brother!" Marufuji Xiang said with a sad face, "I just saw that there is a 'Deer Head Spirit' staring at this side from behind!"

"How is that possible? Sho, have you played too much Gwent 3? Even the Kaiba Group can't bring characters from other games into this world, right?" Judai didn't take Marufuji Sho's words too seriously and comforted him while opening the closed door.

Marufuji Sho was originally asked to be the one to open the door, and Judai more or less wanted to use this method to help him accumulate self-confidence little by little in his daily life. He can't completely evolve into a social cow, or be as relaxed as a bassist who can't draw attention to his instrument on stage and starts dancing to get others to notice him, but at least he can have some confidence in himself and can communicate normally with others.

However, just opening a door can scare Maruto Sho so much now. Is the progress too fast?

Thinking of this, Judai also opened the door, then closed it in an instant, and leaned against the door in sync with Maruto Sho's movements and said, "There really is a 'Deer-Headed Spirit'! We must quickly replace the steel sword with a silver sword!"

"Why are you also..." Misawa shook his head helplessly, looking at Judai who began to look for materials to prepare sword oil. In the end, he opened the door and said, "You are being very rude."

"Indeed, and do I look a lot like that 'Deer-Headed Spirit'?" A dull voice came from behind the door.

Although Judai and his companions had opened the door from the palace of [Light Realm King War - Queen Madol] in the afternoon, the other side of the door was under a clear night sky, with starlight shining on a dense forest and a huge live oak tree with a human figure.

The yellow-green light that shone into everyone's eyes before seemed to be emanating from the gaps between the wood grain of this huge Hu tree. Even between the stretched branches and leaves behind the human-shaped Hu tree that looked like a cloak or wings, there were light spots like stars in the sky, alternating between light and dark like breathing.

"What, what is this!?" Judai widened his eyes and looked at Maeda Hayato.

Misawa nodded: "Yes, what is in front of you is——"

"——Senjutsu·Wood Release·True Thousand Hands·Buddha Formation on the Head!" Judai and Maeda Hayato said excitedly in unison.

"Yes, it's thousands. No, what on earth are those?" Misawa was almost led astray by Judai and Maeda. He reacted in time and corrected himself, "This is the hope of saving the world mentioned in [Light Realm King War - Queen Madol], and the 'falling star' mentioned in the prophecy."

"Its name is, [Star Tree - Light Oak]."

The tall tree man slowly leaned down and looked at Judai and the others. He said in a casual and unpretentious manner, "Light Oak can only be regarded as the name of the species I belong to. To be more precise, it is the name obtained after translating it into your language. Originally, I could have been called the Star Tree - Il Mingyao Star Tree."

"However, you can also call me [Star Tree-Ilmister] if you like."

"It's such a long name, it's easier to remember it as [光槲]."

Judai complained casually, and when he saw the giant tree man - [Star Tree - Light Oak] pulling at the forked bark on his body in frustration, he looked around and said, "But it looks like a normal castle from the outside, but I didn't expect there would be such a forest inside? By the way, why is it night in the blink of an eye? Did we spend that much time in the castle?"

"The starry sky here is not real. It's just an illusion I brought with me when I came from the star world." [Star World Tree - Light Oak] shook his head and looked at Judai and the others. After scanning around, his gaze finally stopped on Misawa. "Ah, I found it. To be honest, you all look too similar to me. It's really hard to tell the difference between each individual."

"So, the human boy named 'Misawa Daichi' has come back here again. Is there something you want to see me about?"

Although it was not the first time, the feeling of being called by the right name still made Misawa feel relieved. He couldn't help but show a relaxed expression, and then said to the huge tree man in front of him: "Actually, it was my friends. They are somewhat interested in what you said before about saving the [Light Realm]. The more help the better, right?" "Ah, that's right. After all, we are dealing with that adult, the supreme god who has arrived at the top of the star realm." [Star Realm Tree - Light Oak] said, and became serious. "Before that, do you know a truth about this world? That is, the truth that this world is a reality built on illusions?"

"The truth beyond illusion?" Marufuji Ryo frowned, "What does that mean?"

"We can understand illusion, after all, everyone enters this world through the Kaiba Group's game cabin, but I don't understand what reality is, meow~" Daitokuji said in confusion, scratching his head.

"Although in your eyes, this may be a game that does not exist in the real world, but in the eyes of all things living in this world, all of this is real, and if you do not stop the plan of a certain existence, this reality will also become the reality in your eyes. Although it is a game, it is not a joke."

The Tenth Generation and the others were quite surprised to hear the word "game" clearly from the mouth of the NPC [Star Tree - Light Oak]. This meant that the other party knew that they were in a game world and could clearly recognize that there was a real world outside the "box" of the virtual world.

"No need to look so surprised. If I must say, I am actually a similar existence to you. We both came to this world from another world, and there was another person who arrived here with me." Noticing the surprised expressions on Maeda Hayato and the others' faces, the [Star Tree - Light Oak] also sat down and looked down at Judai and the others. "Therefore, there is nothing special about being able to recognize the situation in this world."

“However, unlike you who built this world from the very foundation and then entered this world in a formal way recognized by the world, the way I entered this world was a bit passive and special. It is better to say that I was completely dragged into this world by another existence.” As he spoke, [Star Tree - Light Oak] stretched out his hand to Judai and the others.

As the distance between him and Judai and the others shortened, Judai clearly saw that his [Winged Kurosaurus] ran out of his deck in a very uncomfortable manner, resisting the approach of [Star Tree - Light Oak]. The yellow-green light in the hollow fingers of [Star Tree - Light Oak] also became dim and even on the verge of extinguishing as it approached Judai.

The same situation occurred with Daitokuji Sensei and Maeda Hayato. Daitokuji Sensei covered his eyes uncomfortably, Maeda's [Death Koala] ran out and even dropped the eucalyptus leaves, not in the mood to continue eating. Instead, he stretched out his fingers to Marufuji Sho, Caesar Ryo and Misawa Daichi. There was nothing special about them, and they did not show any discomfort.

"As a being recognized by this world, especially some of you who have mastered the ability to interact with elves, you can almost be regarded as an extension of this world's vision. Contact with you will make me, a 'stowaway', be discovered and rejected by the world." Sighing helplessly, [Star Tree - Light Oak] retracted his hand and wrapped his palm with vines, as if bandaging a wound. "Perhaps it is because the power of the [Star Realm] I was in before is simply not adaptable to this world?"

(Because it is a link, 2333 cannot be used)

"In short, compared to that lord, I don't have the ability to create a disguise that can hide from the world's perception. If I didn't have the help of [Light Realm King War - Queen Madol], I would have been expelled from this world long ago. Even now, I can only hide in this secret place and cannot leave." After a pause, [Star Realm Tree - Light Oak] said again.

"No wonder they said we can't get close or it would be dangerous. It turns out that it's not us who are in danger, but you, the [Star Tree - Light Oak]." Maruto Sho glanced at the [Light World King War - Queen Madol] who stayed outside the door behind him to avoid affecting the [Star Tree - Light Oak], and suddenly remembered something, "But what does what you said have to do with saving the [Light World]?"

"You're not tall, but you're anxious? I'm about to tell you." [Star Tree - Light Oak] glanced at Marufuji Sho and continued, "Anyway, in order to survive, I opened up this secret place with the help of [Light Realm King War - Queen Madol] to hide myself, but I also unexpectedly discovered that this world actually has the ability to actively disconnect from the outside world and exile me to the [Star Realm] where I originally was."

"To be more precise, I was originally pulled from the [Astral Plane] to this world like an arrow on a taut bowstring, but this secret place has fixed the taut bowstring with a fastener. Although the bowstring is still taut, it gives me more time and room for maneuver. Even if I am ejected, I can take something with me."

"And this is our plan to save the world. One person uses the power of the Star Tree - Light Oak to bring the being that wants to destroy the world back to its original world along with the Star Tree - Light Oak. In this way, the destruction of the Nine Realms can be avoided." Misawa concluded, "And because of the Star Tree - Light Oak itself, I was chosen to be the one who manipulates his power."

"By bringing back the original world, do you mean the 'adult' mentioned earlier?" Maeda Hayato recalled what the Star Tree - Light Oak said before and asked, "Who is that person who can travel through the world?"

"Hmm? Didn't I explain it before? How embarrassing." [Star Tree - Light Oak] scratched the back of his head and said seriously, "The world we were in before was called [Star Realm]. This should have been explained. In that world, there are three gods who are above all things. They are called the 'Three Pole Gods'."

"The lord I'm referring to is the one who represents wisdom among the three 'Extreme Gods'. His name is Loki."

"【Ultimate God King - Loki】." After a pause, 【Star Tree - Light Oak】 added, "However, in order to come to this world, he still disguised himself to a certain extent. By abandoning his original power as the 'Ultimate God', his current name seems to be..."

"【Shadow of the King's Battle-Lopt】."

"Ah sneeze——!"

Beside Hayato, [Shadow of the King's War - Lopt] suddenly sneezed, and Hayato gave him a look of disgust.

"It must be Odin who is saying bad things about me!" He said with great confidence, and then said to Hayato in a rather flattering manner, "Master Danrito, after defeating Utgard, where do you want to go next?"

"So proactive?"

"Because being your dog is my greatest honor." Calculating the power of [Wang Zhan] that he had collected so far, the expression on [Wang Zhan's Shadow - Lopt]'s face did not change at all.
