Chapter 646

When leaving the Garden of Mercy, the "black" had quietly enveloped the tree garden.

Everyone walked along the mossy steps, and the soles of their shoes made a slight sound as they rubbed against the stone slabs.

Xiadie suddenly stopped, her fingertips drawing golden ripples in the air, "The breath of death...is getting stronger."

Tian covered his mouth and nose and took a half step back, crushing a withered fern with the sole of his boot, "This... is so scary..."

Before he finished speaking, a black figure suddenly jumped out from the shadow of the stairs - a twisted black and orange body covered with mechanical edges, limbs as sharp as blades extending from the joints, and a circular light-emitting device on the head flashing an eerie orange light. It was the Black Tide creation!

Moreover, under the moonlight, translucent membrane-like objects were attached to the fallen plants on both sides of the steps, like empty shells with their flesh and blood sucked out.

Mimi's fur suddenly exploded into a defensive form, "What is this... a beast? Or a follower of the Death Titan?" Its paw pads drew detection waves in the air, but made a crackling sound when they touched the Black Tide creation.

Xiadie squatted down, and the golden thread penetrated the surface of the rotten meat. "No, none of them... This is a creation of the black tide, a twisted and empty shell formed by the erosion of life."

The rotten flesh suddenly expanded, revealing the densely packed eye-like structures inside.

"Everyone, be alert! No matter what happened in the tree garden, seeing the remains of the Black Tide creatures here is definitely not a good sign." Xiadie reminded.

Just as Tian was about to rush forward, he saw a chainsaw-like blade pop out from the creature's other limb, and the air was cut with a sharp sound.

"The...monster is alive! Tian is here to protect everyone...!"

Before she finished shouting, Xiadie hurriedly called out to Tian.

"Tian, ​​hide behind us first! Lord Xing, Lin Yu, Miss March Seven, let's go together!"

"Mi Mi wants to help too!"

Lin Yu held a long sword in his hand and rushed towards the Black Tide creature in an instant. The sword blade collided with the Black Tide creature's limbs, making a crisp sound of metallic collision.

Xing swung the baseball bat, and the shadow of the bat was heavy, continuously hitting the Black Tide creature.

San Yue Qi quickly pulled the ice bow, and ice arrows condensed on the bowstring and shot towards the Black Tide creature with a "whoosh".

The ice arrow brought a biting chill, and after hitting the Black Tide creature, it formed a layer of frost.

Mimi was suspended in the air, with colorful light flashing around her body. She then released waves of energy, which blasted towards the Black Tide creation, but were absorbed by it instead. The drive device roared even more violently, and the orange light became even more dazzling.

"Sure enough, the 'sword' and 'cloak' in 'black' refer to the 'black tide'."

Xiadie stared at the core of creation, the beating black crystal on her chest.

Then, Xiadie swung her sickle and slashed it down, piercing through its glowing head and crystal.

As the crystals shattered, the mechanical body of the creature collapsed, and its parts scattered all over the ground. The remaining black tide energy was still wriggling on the ground.

Tian fell to the ground, "Damn... we killed them... everyone... so awesome..." She looked at the wreckage with lingering fear.

Mimi hovered over the parts. "These guys shouldn't be here, right?"

Xiadie put away her sickle, her expression solemn, "The Tree Courtyard is located in a remote area, but the black tide still spreads here... The world lost by 'Dispute' is more dangerous than imagined."

Tian asked anxiously, "Will Ohma be in danger too?"

Xiadie checked the battlefield and saw traces of the scholars struggling next to the mechanical wreckage. "Just looking at the traces of this battle... the scholars blocked the first wave of attacks, but the price they paid was..."

Everyone was silent, and in the twilight, only the residual energy of the black tide could be heard crackling.

The wind blew the dead leaves along the dilapidated path of the Shenwu Tree Garden. Tian clenched her fists and looked at the towering split branches. Her red hair fluttered in the wind. "Tian thinks...it will be fine! Everyone in the Tree Garden is very smart and will definitely be able to drive away the black tide."

Mimi was hovering over her shoulder, her hair trembling slightly. "Besides, Aglaya said Kesha is still alive, so there must be hope for others."

Suddenly he tilted his head again, "But who is this person? Why do people have such complicated attitudes towards him?"

"Ms. Aglaiya's attitude towards him is far from trust."

Lin Yu smiled helplessly, "Now I completely understand the complexity..."

Mimi immediately came over and said, "My good friend, have you also suffered from him?"

Xiadie explained hurriedly, "Believe me, she treats you much better than Kesha." He paused, his expression serious, "Kesha is a golden descendant, but he firmly believes that the Titans and Oracles are a joke. In the Citizens' Assembly, there was always a vote against the Fire Chaser."

"Ah? The tree garden is built around Titan, and he is still doing this?" Mimi was so shocked that his hair stood on end.

Tian waved his hands hurriedly, "Everyone has said that Sersis is the most tolerant of new ideas, just like Kephar, he is the best Titan for us!"

"Even this kind of 'new idea' is tolerated...Cersis is indeed tolerant." Mimi sighed and asked again, "By the way, the agreement with Titan..."

Xiadie looked into the depths of the tree garden and said, "We made an agreement with the goodwill titans that they would provide support during the journey to chase the fire, and we would only return to the fire in the end."

Tian suddenly interrupted, his voice low, "Except for the Titan of Ages of Oronis, it is a force that must be surrendered..."

Mimi hurried over to comfort him, "Oronis definitely not that reluctant! Otherwise, why would he approve of Xing and let us travel together?"

Xiadie nodded, "Indeed, it's fortunate that the Titans were not eroded by the black tide."

“Tian believes that Sersis will be fine! Everyone in Shuting is so smart.” Tian clenched his fists again and suddenly straightened his chest. “The task of finding Kexia and everyone else is left to Tian! I can fly, and I’m great at finding people!”

Xiadie handed her the spindle and said, "Take it with you to guide the weft. The golden thread is more useful at high altitudes. But promise us that you will protect yourself."

"Okay! I'll look for you guys when I'm in trouble, and you guys can call me to open the door when you're in trouble!" Tian patted his chest, then remembered something and lowered his voice, "I know I should use 'open the door' less often, but I just want to help you..."

"We know that Tian is the most powerful demigod, like the hero in the story. He should save his powerful strength until the end, so that he can be sure of success, right?"

"Xiao Xiaodie is right! Brave Tian leads the way!" Tian's eyes widened and his expression was radiant.

Mimi was also excited, "Xiaotian is so motivated, I can't fall behind! I will use the power of Oronis to help my friends!" The fluff glowed softly, as if it was ready to meet the challenge.

Mimi hovered over the remains of a broken creature, its fur trembling slightly, "Sniff...is there a scent of memory?" It moved closer to the body covered with spikes, only to see that the monster's limbs were like tangled thorns, emitting a cold breath that repelled life.

"So many monsters..."

Before Xiadie finished speaking, Mimi had already mustered up the courage and pressed her paw pads against the outer shell of the creature. "Maybe we can find some valuable memories - let's give it a try."

In an instant, Mimi retracted her hand abruptly, and the fur exploded due to the pain, "Ah... I pricked me! And there's nothing..." She circled around the wreckage and found golden ash remaining in the black body, which was somewhat similar to the golden blood of the Titan.

Taking another deep breath, Mimi closed her eyes, "Mi..Mimi..."

But after a long time, he was still dejected, "No...I didn't see anything."

Next to another hideous creature, Xiadie couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"This twisted life may have been a soul that could sympathize with pain in the past, but now it only has the instinct to attack until its soul dissipates."

At this time, Mimi flew towards it again, and tried stubbornly, "This monster may carry useful memories..." But in the end, he still fell dejectedly, "Okay... I thought too much."

"Oh, I tried my best...how come I can't remember anything at all?" Mimi's voice was filled with grievance.

Xiadie sighed softly, "Perhaps it's because... the lives swallowed by the black tide no longer have any souls. Their memories and emotions have long been shredded into nothingness by the black tide."

The wind swept through the tree garden, stirring up the black tide and residual fog. Everyone looked at the wreckage on the ground with heavy hearts.

Those once vibrant beings have now been stripped of even their remaining memories, while the shadow of the black tide is still stirring deep in the tree garden.

...

At the same time, in Ohma's medical room, the smell of disinfectant was mixed with a faint fragrance.

Feng Jin took off her bloodstained gloves, her fingertips trembling slightly from operating the knife for so long, "Ms. Aglaya, the injured patient who appeared on the outskirts of Ohma is now safe after several days of major and minor operations." She leaned against the equipment cabinet, with a dark spot under her eyelids, but she was still trying hard to keep up her spirits.

Aglaya gently pressed her shoulder, her eyes sweeping over the undulating curves on the monitor, "I've made you work harder for nothing, Feng Jin." Seeing Feng Jin about to speak, she spoke first, "He was affected by the black tide, and the fibrosis of his organs is particularly serious. It's a miracle that he survived. Don't put pressure on yourself, and don't rush back to Shu Ting now, take a good rest first."

Feng Jin was about to retort, but Aglaiya changed the subject, "Master, I have something else to tell you. The origin of this injured person is strange. He is not from Ohma. The way the stitches of his clothes are buried is a unique skill of Shu Ting."

"Shu Ting? Could it be that..." Tibao came over holding the communication device, and at this moment, the device suddenly vibrated.

She hurriedly clicked it, her face instantly pale, "Ah... Tian sent a message!"

The medical room suddenly became dead silent, with only Tibao's trembling voice, "We saw that the tree garden had been invaded by the black tide creatures... Through the golden thread, we have not yet sensed the existence of survivors... What, what should we do, Aya?"

Aglaya's pupils shrank slightly, and her fingertips rubbed unconsciously, "The threat of the black tide has indeed intensified, but I didn't expect that Shuting would be the first to bear the brunt." She approached Tibao, "Can they sense where the fire is now?"

Tibao swallowed, "We saw that... the fire was still there, but... they couldn't confirm whether Titan was also infected by the black tide..."

"The most urgent task is to confirm and divert the fire, search for survivors, and sort out the whole story of the disaster in the tree garden." Aglaya made a quick decision, "Tell them so, and also make sure to confirm Kesha's whereabouts. If nothing unexpected happens, he must still be alive."

After Tibao delivered the message, he couldn't help but ask, "Aya...how do you know Kexia is still alive?"

"I know his character very well, and he has obtained some power in the underworld." Aglaya looked out the window at the cloudy sky in the distance. "If this blasphemous "great performer" knew that his life was coming to an end, he would definitely start a fire and let the Titans be buried with him." Her tone was calm, but the temperature of the whole room dropped sharply. "This time, it's not a joke."

Tibao looked at her solemn expression, his throat tightened, "Internal and external troubles...what are you talking about?"

"Even if the dispute over divine power is suspended, the black tide is coming too fast."

"This tragedy is not just a natural disaster. Unfortunately, the Senate will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to take action. I will block the news, and you must also pay attention to prevent it from happening."

Tibao subconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes, "Then... do we still need to tell Xiao Fengjin?"

Aglaya looked at Feng Jin who was sorting out the equipment. Her back was thin but straight. Finally, she sighed, "Let's do it later. She has been exhausted from the surgeries for days. I don't want this bad news to overwhelm her."

The medical room was silent again, with only the regular ticking of the monitor as the only sound.

Tibao looked at the numbers jumping on the screen and said softly, "I hope that more of the people in Shuting can survive this difficult time... the better."

Aglaya stared at the unconscious wounded man, whose chest bandage was oozing light blood. After a long while, he spoke, "Master, just looking at the condition of the wounded man, you and I should prepare for the worst. Unless he escapes desperately, Shu Ting is probably in danger."
