Chapter 2290 2290. nts


    June and the others couldn''t help but find simrities between Marce''s technique and Noah''s parasite. Still, there was something intrinsically different in the aura radiated by those roots.


    Noah''s parasite expressed one of the deepest aspects of destruction. It could erode anything in the world, and even the strongest experts from the sky feared its power.


    Instead, Marce''s roots didn''t have a single nature. They flourished and released intense power that affected their surroundings and altered the environment, but they had no specific effect. They actually resembled proper magical nts.


    Marce''s technique tried to affect the void, but its power fell slightly short. The different space-time array shook under the weight of the roots, smoke, and flowers, but it didn''t change enough to ce them above the ninth rank.


    Nevertheless, the green cloud changed and transformed as the roots expanded and more bright flowers came out of their surface. The smoke thickened and started to release a pleasant scent that June and the others couldn''t fend off.


    The seemingly harmless technique surprised thendmass'' group. Divine Demon didn''t care too much about the details behind Marce''s ability, but hispanions didn''t share his confidence.


    Even the space dragon interrupted its offensive as it stared at the expanding roots and flowers. It could feel the connection with Heaven and Earth in those nts, but its instincts couldn''tpletely see them as enemies. They were almost part of a natural environment.


    June inspected the immense amount of power released by Marce for a few seconds before wearing an excited expression. That was exactly what she wanted. She was in front of an opponent with immense energy reserves, and she couldn''t wait to challenge her.


    However, Divine Demon stepped forward before June could muster her energy again. That gesture reminded her of his previous actions, and her anger inevitably returned.


    "You won''t get to fight her all by yourself," June dered.


    Divine Demon''s expression gained rare traces of sympathy when he turned to inspect June. He remained silent as his eyes studied the depths of her power. A smile appeared on his face, but some sadness also arrived.


    "What?" June snorted.


    "This isn''t mere battle intent, right?" Divine Demon replied before ncing at the ck sphere where Noah and Caesar were trapped. "You are in a hurry to improve."


    "All of us are," June pointed out. "That''s why we split our opponents. We all must get our chance to improve."


    "What if I told you that you can''t defeat her?" Divine Demon wondered.


    "I''ll prove you wrong," June dered.


    "My heir really found a troublesome partner," Divine Demonughed. "I guess it suits him."


    "Noah has nothing to do with this," June corrected.


    "I know about your deal," Divine Demon revealed. "Well, I should call it "promise". It takes strength and courage to ept something like that during the cultivation journey. Defying Demon is better than me in that field."


    June fell silent, but her eyes retained her anger. Sparks even started to flow over her skin. She was ready to fly past Divine Demon to get her battle if he kept hindering her.


    "Your time wille," Divine Demon stated as a blood-red sh ran through his eyes. "You know what you need to improve. You shouldn''t worry too much about it."


    "Stepping aside isn''t my style," June joked.


    "You might survive if you jump into this fight," Divine Demon uttered. "You might even achieve something since I''m here, but that would leave you broken, unable to fulfill your real role."


    June wanted toin, but her gaze instinctively went past Divine Demon and fell on the sky. The''s light had be incredibly faint. Anyone could understand that Heaven and Earth were about to break free.


    "A true demon knows when to save energy," Divine Demon exined.


    "You mention demons only when it suits your argument," Juneined.


    "And I''m always right," Divine Demonughed. "Step back for now. We''ll all need you afterward."


    Divine Demon flew past June to approach Marce. June wanted to follow him. Her world yearned for battle, but a loud heartbeat echoed out of her figure when her gaze fell back on the sky.


    June''s injuries began to close as battle intent built inside her. Her very skin started to release crackling noises. There seemed to be a storm raging inside June, but she didn''t advance. Instead, she retreated until her figure left the green cloud.


    Maribel and the others inspected the scene without saying anything. They had understood what Divine Demon wanted from June, but he didn''t say anything about them. It was clear that their role had yet to end.


    "It''s rare to see your wise side," Marce teased while Divine Demon flew toward her.


    "I''m always wise," Divine Demonmented. "You all simply fail to realize it most of the time."


    "Then, tell me," Marc announced while moving her fingers over the rootsing out of her body. "Does your wisdom understand the nature of my world?"


    "I''m wise enough not to care about it," Divine Demon stated. "I only have to kill you."


    "Yourpanions don''t share your confidence," Marce pointed out while moving her eyes among the rest of the group. "Even that creature is confused."


    The space dragon had yet to move. It sniffed and relied on its instincts to study Marce''s technique, but it failed to find proper answers. Even its programming couldn''t push it to fight against her again.


    "The magical beasts are so simple," Marce sighed. "Even something improved to target Heaven and Earth can fall for such a low-level trick."


    "Tricks can''tst long," Sepunia''s voice resounded in the area as she teleported next to Divine Demon. "I''ve stopped your power once. I can do it again."


    "The traitor," Marce eximed.


    "Rebel," Maribel''s voice arrived in the area as she also teleported next to Divine Demon.


    "A cultivator who spent most of her life in hiding," Marce corrected. "I''m surprised you even achieved a decent understanding of your path. Creation and destruction, life and death, you managed to get somewhere without theplete picture."


    "Are you trying to instruct us about the cultivation journey now?" Maribel mocked.


    "It''s always the same with cultivators," Marce sighed. "Even the skycks expert with such a broad vision. You all spend your life admiring and envying the magical beasts without appreciating a far stronger alternative."


    "She is trying to buy herself some time," Maribel dered.


    "No," Divine Demon said. "She wants us to admire her power."


    "My path," Marce corrected as branches came out of the roots and created a thick all around her. "Everyone in the world thinks that the magical beasts have the greatest innate advantage. Everyone is wrong."


    Some of the branches grew until they transformed into proper trunks. Leaves and flowers came out of them at that point, and the process continued until immense green crowns covered the whole.


    "I should probably thank your idiocy," Marce announced. "You have left my path almostpletely devoid ofpetition. I could be a queen without needing topromise."


    "A queen of the weakest type of living being in the world," Sepunia added.


    "Your arrogance won''tst," Marce eximed. "You''ll bow in front of the true leader of the magical nts'' field."
