Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 549 The Wisdom of the Entire Galaxy: Intellectual Armor (Bonus Chapter for 【我了个香蕉菠萝皮】)

Eve's left eye's monocle rapidly expanded, transforming into a helmet that partially covered her head.

[Announcement: Initiating the intelligent armor. Weapon conversion is provided by the Black Tower database. The intelligent engine is taking over combat analysis, combat simulation, and combat awareness.]

[Announcement: AT particles are being released; an AT field is expected to form in 4.1 seconds.]

[Announcement: 23.16% of energy has been allocated to protect individual "stars".]

[Announcement: Data backup complete... Best of luck.]

In an instant, a suit of armor enveloped Eve's entire body, and the AT particles released by the armor covered the entire Tree Garden.

This was Wife's last resort.

As an avatar of Eve's consciousness, she has the authority to directly access all weapon blueprints that the Black Tower database has made available to Eve.

After being disassembled and integrated, all the weapon data was simulated and put on the intelligent Eve in the form of armor.

Of course, the intelligent Eve had also prepared for defeat, backing up all currently unknown memories, data, and analysis results so that when the main body arrived here later, it could know all the information immediately.

At this moment, the black-clad swordsman showed no fear and instead walked straight forward.

He moved swiftly, and five clones appeared on either side of him, each wielding a longsword and a cleaver.

"It also has the ability to create clones."

[Announcement: Annihilation procedure initiated.]

Eve's eyes flashed red, and her armored weapons were fully activated.

The black-clad swordsman, along with his five clones, leaped into the air and charged straight at the intelligent Eve...

..........

Beneath the trees in the courtyard.

"Will Little Fu be alright?" Tian asked, panting heavily.

“Mimi…” Mimi also looked worried.

"I believe in Mom," Xia Die said, but inwardly she was having second thoughts.

That swordsman in black was truly terrifying.

"There's nothing I can do. Even if I stayed there, I'd only be a hindrance." Sersis knew her place.

She thought that having regained the power of the fire seed, even if she couldn't defeat the black-clad swordsman, she could at least manage to keep him at bay.

But now it seems I was overthinking things.

Suddenly, a violent explosion came from the top of the treehouse, so powerful that they could feel the tremors even at the foot of the treehouse.

Everyone watched the black smoke rising from the top of the treehouse, their hearts clenching involuntarily.

"Mom..." Xia Die clutched her chest, her worry reaching its peak.

As the tremors at the top of the treehouse gradually subsided, no one dared to blink.

Until they heard a "duang, duang, duang" sound suddenly coming from beside their feet.

"Ok?"

The group looked down in confusion until they saw a slime with white grass leaves on its head hopping towards them.

"What is this...?" Xia Die was completely dumbfounded.

"Slime! But why would there be something like this here?" Tian wondered.

"Mimi~ So cute! But she seems to have albinism, the leaves on her head are white!" Mimi's eyes were full of curiosity.

Only Cecilia remained silent, as if she had thought of something.

"Mimi~"

Just as Mimi was about to fly over to say hello, Eve's voice suddenly came out.

"It's good that you're all alright."

"Little Fu?"

"Mother?"

"Eve?"

The three of them—one human, one vine, and one beast—looked around but couldn't find Eve anywhere.

"Here, lower your head." Eve's voice sounded somewhat helpless.

Then everyone turned their attention to the slime below.

"Mimi? You're not Eve, are you?" Mimi asked cautiously.

"You, you are Little Fu?" Tian's eyes were filled with shock.

"It's me." The grass slime shook the grass blades on its head twice.

"Mom? What happened to you?"

Eve sighed, and even the grass above her head seemed to wilt.

"There's no other way, I've used up too much power, this is the power-saving mode."

"Power saving? Mode?" Xia Die clearly didn't understand this new term.

“Now that the Tree King has returned, then what about that black-clad swordsman…” Sersis’s tone was somewhat excited.

“No, he got away.” Eve shook the leaves above her head.

“That swordsman in black is definitely not as simple as he seems,” Eve said to herself.

She had already activated the strongest mode of the Intelligence Commander, which can be said to have integrated all the top technologies in this universe and the crystallization of countless geniuses, but she did not expect that even after exhausting her power, she could only fight him to a draw, and in the end, he escaped.

Of course, some of Eve's power was also dispersed to protect the star within her body.

However, it cannot be denied that this black-clad swordsman is very skilled and possesses extremely strange abilities.

If it comes down to brute force alone, it's only a matter of time before Eve takes him down. So far, Eve has already detected four abilities in him: immortality, super speed, healing, and the ability to create clones.

It cannot be ruled out that they may even have the ability to teleport.

Because at the very last moment, just as Eve was about to kill the black-clad swordsman, he suddenly disappeared.

Logically speaking, Onpharos's true form should not be capable of giving birth to someone with such power.

This made Eve even more curious about Onpharos himself.

In addition, Eve also felt that the power in his body had a slightly familiar feel to it.

"There won't be a next time." Eve slowly tightened the blades of grass on her head.

Suddenly, Eve felt herself suspended in mid-air, and her vision soared upwards at high speed.

Xia Die picked her up and held her in her arms.

"Mom, you must be tired. Let me hold you so you can rest a bit more. Cough cough, it's definitely not because you're so cute that I can't help but want to hug you..."

As Xia Die spoke, her face turned slightly red.

Eve looked at Xia Die, her little mouth slightly pouting.

If it weren't for that last sentence, she would have actually believed it.

Oh well, it's good that she doesn't have to walk on her own. At least she was really weak until her strength returned to energy-saving mode.

Xia Die couldn't resist and secretly rubbed her face against Eve's body.

Mmm, the smooth and bouncy texture is simply irresistible.

Too high!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news that the black-clad swordsman had been defeated, and the tension in their hearts eased.

Especially Cecilia.

"It seems I was right about you."

Serhis, who was now in possession of Nashia's body, nodded slightly.

That black-clad swordsman was indeed no pushover, but this Tree King was an even more formidable figure.

Although he had exhausted his strength, his ability to single-handedly defeat the black-clad swordsman still shocked Sersis to the extreme.

"Mimi~ As expected of the person Oronisto assigned to me!" Mimi put her hands on her hips, beaming with pride.

“She was the one who entrusted you to me.” Slime Eve rolled her eyes at Mimi.

"Mimi? Really? But you're even smaller than me now!" Mimi flew to Eve's side and held out her hand to compare sizes.

Eve sighed, sometimes wondering what this pink mammal was thinking.

Wait a minute? This looks like emergency food.

“Let’s go back to Ohma. It’s no longer safe to stay in Tree Garden,” Serhis said.

Although she was the owner of the Tree Garden, she knew that the Tree Garden would soon be swallowed up by the Black Tide.

Only Ohmma is safe now.

“Okay, let’s set off now,” Xia Die immediately agreed.

This sightseeing trip was far too dangerous; even Mom was exhausted, and now she wants to get back to Ohmma immediately.

"Then I'll open the door and see everyone out..."

"No, Lord Tian, ​​we had an agreement."

"Okay, Little Butterfly..."

After rejecting Tian, ​​Xia Die, carrying Eve, led the group on their journey back to Ohma.

On the way, when Eve saw Mimi flying around Xiaodie, she suddenly had a sense of familiarity.

"Strange, this feels so familiar..."

....................

Beneath the walls of Ohma.

The group finally stepped through the gates of Ohmma, and the tension in their hearts finally dissipated.

Tibo had already gone into the city to report on the matter.

"Phew...that was a really close escape. But thankfully, we've finally arrived safely in Ohmma." Xia Die breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind.

"It's so noisy... Ohma is still the same as always."

Xia Die immediately turned her head and saw Xia stretching.

"Are you Teacher Xia now?" Xia Die asked cautiously.

At that moment, Xia nodded. "There's no need to doubt it. The Titan is silent now. It is I, Anaxagoras of the School of the Wise."

"It's definitely you who calls yourself that," Xia Die nodded confidently.

Xia was speechless at that moment.

“Teacher, I’ll be frank: Lady Aglaia’s mission for us is to find the survivors, find out the cause of the Tree Garden disaster, and… retrieve the flame of Cesis.” Xia Die said, holding Eve who was fast asleep.

“Well, I’m not surprised at all. As you can see, I’m a survivor, I know the whole story of the catastrophe, and I’m carrying a spark of fire while being completely powerless to resist.” Nashi Xia shrugged.

"So, are you going to present me to Aglaia to report back?"

“That is my duty. But I do not want to hand you over to her as a prisoner or a spoil of war,” Xia Die said bluntly.

"Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. I don't object to you meeting that woman." Xia's tone was more relieved at that moment.

“But before that, I have some things to take care of. Several of Shuting’s colleagues’ families live in the Holy City, and I would like to visit them before meeting with Aglaia.”

"Mimi? Why before meeting Aglaia?" Mimi asked from the side.

“Because Lady Aglaia… probably won’t allow it,” Xia Die explained.

Xia sneered, "Heh... I guess she'll not only refuse to let me offer condolences to the deceased's family, but she'll also block news about Shuting. That woman is just that cold-blooded."

“Some of Shuting’s friends sacrificed their lives to fight against the Black Tide alongside me and defend the flame. Their families have the right to know all of this.”

"Are you planning to act first and report later?" Xia Die couldn't help but ask.

"Even if I don't cause any trouble and just honestly go and pledge my loyalty to that woman, will she treat me well? I wouldn't hesitate to vent my anger on her face."

"Are you going to stop me, Xia Die?" Xia looked at Xia Die at that moment.

Xia Die neither confirmed nor denied it.

“I will accompany you. But you must also understand that Lady Aglaia has her own considerations.”

"Ha, if you put yourself in my shoes, you really have the makings of a scholar."

"Let's go, I'll keep things in line."

"Teacher, after all these years, you and Lady Aglaia are still..."

As she spoke, Xia Die sighed.

"Neither of us are petty people. You should be very clear about the root of the conflict."

At that moment, Xia stepped through the gates of Ohma.

.............

Ohema, a residential area.

The woman who was working noticed several people coming.

She put down her work and immediately came over.

"Gentlemen, who are you...?"

Xia spoke first, "Hello. If I remember correctly, you are Kalinicus's wife, right?"

The woman seemed a little flustered, but she nodded immediately.

"Yes. Ah, are you a messenger?"

"Oh dear, I was wondering why the news came so late. Turns out it was a different person."

Xia interrupted the woman, his expression somewhat grave.

"Madam, Kalinicus sacrificed himself a few days ago while fighting against the Black Tide in order to protect the Tree Garden."

Upon hearing Xia's words, the woman was instantly stunned.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Finally, she asked, "So, Shuting... did he hold on?"

"What?" Xia Die was also somewhat surprised.

"When Mimi heard the bad news, her first reaction was..." Mimi was the same.

Xia nodded at that moment, "Yes, he swore to protect the flame of the Titan of Reason, Sersis."

The woman laughed, a laugh tinged with sorrow, sadness, and reluctance, but not with surrender.

"I understand. I will sort out his belongings and choose a good burial site for him on a chosen day."

Xia Die couldn't help but say, "Madam, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."

The woman shook her head. "I am a man of the edge. Death, sacrifice... I can face them all with equanimity."

“Kalinicus… Although he is a scholar, every time he comes back to visit me, he asks me for martial arts lessons. Isn’t it ridiculous? A Golden Blood, actually learning from an ordinary person like me.”

"I was already mentally prepared... In this era, every ordinary farewell could be a final goodbye."

"I'm sorry," Xia said at that moment.

The woman shook her head again. "There's nothing to apologize for. I was a soldier... and I will eventually return to the battlefield."

"Now, the new king of Suspended Peak is about to descend. I will use my spear to avenge my husband against the Black Tide monsters."

The woman walked back into the house, and only then did her sobs gradually return.
