Chapter 429: Encountering the "Megaparsec" Again
The spaceship was enveloped by four kinds of red lights.
The light of the Constant Star Prominence, the blood light of the General's Formula Ring, the glow of the spaceship itself due to the high temperature, and the light of the alarm signal.
{High temperature! High temperature! High temperature!}
{High temperature! High temperature! High temperature!}
Every corner of the ship, every part was wailing, the sound both sharp and piercing, and so complex it was nauseating.
You could only see the baby with its mouth wide open crying, but the cries couldn't reach the ears as if separated by the best soundproof glass.
"General! The temperature is too high, the material of the hull is about to give out!" Kert, always staring at the screen, shouted without looking back.
Even so, the General, cutting through the sea of fire, had no solution.
"Xia." The person in charge handed over the baby in his arms.
"Hmm? Uh? Ah!" Xia realized, then hesitated, as if spreading his hands to show, and took the baby.
"Lose a single hair and I'll kill you."
"Kill me?!"
The person in charge ignored the stunned guard and walked to the center of the bridge, stretching out both arms.
Buzz!
A heavy Blood Ring appeared behind her.
Low Temperature descended with the help of the Blood Ring, silently capturing everyone and everything; from the feet of the person in charge, ice began to spread.
Tina instinctively said, "You will freeze——"
"Don't disturb me." The person in charge closed her eyes.
It was like relying only on the feeling and hands of the human body, using a cup of boiling water and cold water to mix into a cup of precisely 40 degrees Celsius warm water.
It could both alleviate the heat of the Solar Prominence and ensure the spaceship wouldn't freeze, a task as precise as surgery.
The terrifying high temperature gradually eased, and the high-temperature alarms inside the bridge reduced by half, and everyone felt as if their brains finally came back to life.
Before they could catch their breath.
"No way!" Kert shouted, "The spaceship is too big, the temperature is uneven!"
Boom!
The ship shook violently, and some part of the stern began to combust spontaneously.
The person in charge's expression was focused, sweat dripping from her temples.
"Yao!" The General's god-like voice came from outside the cabin.
The Princess cast a cold glance at the person in charge, a Blood Ring also lit up behind her tall and shapely body.
A giant Green Bird burst from the Blood Ring, flying out as if the spaceship didn't exist.
The Green Bird's size, in an instant, surpassed the ten-kilometer-long spaceship, and it folded its wings and cradled the spaceship in its embrace.
The high-temperature warnings instantly disappeared by another half.
"Ah! Ah!" The baby's cry reached everyone's ears.
The General laughed heartily, "Boy or girl?"
Xia held the baby with one hand, and with the other, reached into the soft animal skin to feel it: "Girl."
The person in charge and the Princess both looked murderous, yet the baby stopped crying, either finding it amusing being held or feeling tickled after being touched, giggling continuously.
Around them, the Solar Prominence flowed like lava, and the spaceship cruised steadily within it.
The slightly unrestrained General reached back and grabbed the Divine Tree that had been gravitationally tethered behind.
Apart from the Divine Tree, all materials leaving the star due to the ship's mass had completely disappeared.
The Divine Tree was burning, mostly carbonized, and when the General took it, it turned into a large handful of black ash scattering away.
Compared to the Divine Tree itself, the remaining part was very small, but held in the hand of the ten-thousand-meter-tall General, it was just the right size, like an umbrella.
Burning in the fierce fire, it didn't seem like the remains of the Divine Tree, more like a crystal extracted.
The General's eyes were incredulous, the roots of the Divine Tree had actually rooted!
Rooted in the Solar Prominence!
What kind of tree is this? The blood power of the Huan Clan and the Divine Will Great Wall couldn't resolve it, yet a single tree could seize it.
Even now, it can use the intangible flames as soil.
Hiss hiss hiss!
The tree roots suddenly came to life, wrapping snake-like around the General's wrist, the tips trying to pierce his skin, burrowing into his flesh.
The roots were sturdy, like sharp arrows, repeatedly striking his steel-like Divine Body skin, leaving faint scratches.
The General looked on coldly, seeming thoughtful.
Crack.
The remnant of the Divine Tree split a crack, one of the only six leaves fell.
The General relaxed the muscles of his wrist, and the roots eagerly burrowed in as if they knew.
The tree roots bulged the General's skin, entering his blood vessels smoothly, and spreading throughout.
The Divine Tree, as if to replace the General, was absorbing his blood while continuously penetrating deeper into his body.
The tree trunk and leaves transformed into energy, merging into the tree roots.
Soon, the entire remnant of the Divine Tree entered the General's body, rooting above his heart.
The limbs were already immobilized, all controlled by the roots of the Divine Tree, which moments ago was nearly destroyed, now powerful enough to attempt to control the General at the peak of the Second Rank.
Not only the General's strength, but also the energy of the surrounding Constant Star Prominence was being absorbed by it.
The General's neck skin bulged, the tree roots were spreading toward his head.
Everything was acting on instinct, without any consciousness.
The General was relieved, the bloodline talent of the Huan Clan unfolded.
The roots spreading up the neck, their speed gradually slowed, and when one just reached the General's face, all activity ceased.
Silence reigned for a moment.
The Divine Tree suddenly contracted, trying to withdraw all its roots, but it was already too late.
Under the Huan Clan's strength, especially in the unique body of the General, it couldn't escape, couldn't protect itself, it could only be tamed, melted, assimilated.
Buzz!!!
A new Formula Ring unfolded behind the General, this was also the General's fourth Formula Ring, a Divine Tree standing in the center of the Blood Ring.
The new Formula Ring was dim, like long-dried dead blood.
The General urged this Formula Ring, the Divine Tree with five leaves swayed, the roots surged like a flood, rooting into the surrounding sea of fire.
