Chapter 599: Defeated By A Baby
At that moment, a green crown made from the tree roots appeared above the Elven King"s head. On his back, arms made of trees materialized. There seemed to be hundreds of them. After those arms appeared, they stabbed into the ground. Endless vines extended into the ground and covered everything in sight. It was as if the entire Blackmoon Castle was about to be transformed by the Elven King into a powerful monster.
Initially, the Elven King did not intend to use supernatural evolution power to evolve. Unfortunately, Watson was too powerful, so he had no choice.
"Watson, the castle we"re in now has been changed by the power of evolution. Soon, it will spread to the entire Mount Creation. When that happens, the land will evolve into a terrifying monster. And you"re now in the belly of that monster. Where will you run?"
As the vines spread, blocking the walls in all directions, the s.p.a.ce in the room became smaller. The Elven King"s smug laughter echoed in the room.
"Why should I run?"
As the vines around him closed in and cracked open, revealing a large mouth wrapped in mucus, as if it was going to tear itself apart in the next moment, Watson remained calm.
To him, that battle was destined to end from the beginning. If the supernatural evolution power of the elven race chess piece was strong, and the Elven King"s full power was comparable to his fusion system, he did not need to face it head-on. If he could not deal with the Elven King"s evolved creature, then he could just deal with the Elven King himself.
At that moment, the Elven King"s strength had evolved from peak platinum-tier to diamond-tier after being enveloped by the light of supernatural evolution power. Watson could still fuse him.
Watson extended his right hand toward the Elven King. Just as he was about to activate the fusion system, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the ceiling above everyone"s heads.
While carrying the swaddled Jeanne in his arms, Edward flew downward with a displeased expression. "What are you guys doing? Are you guys going to demolish the house? Watson, your mother has just given birth, and her body is weak. You guys are so noisy that Jeanne starts crying. The moment she cries, the power in her body goes out of control. I"ve already been sent flying several times. It hasn"t been easy for me to calm her down and make her fall asleep again.
"And you—you look like the king of the elves. Why do you have so many arms on your back? You look different from the other elves. Also, why did you insert your arms into the wall to create so many vines? Did Watson invite you? Can you keep the noise down?"
After Edward reprimanded Watson, he quickly turned around and aimed his annoyance at the Elven King. When the Elven King realized that Edward was talking to him, he stopped his wild laughter and fell silent.
"Father, you have misunderstood. We are not fooling around. The Elven King is not here to visit the Blackmoon Castle. We are fighting." Watson"s weak words broke the silence.
Fighting?
Edward looked around and found that the Elven King had a ferocious expression. The hundreds of elves behind him were eyeing him like tigers watching their prey. Allen and Liszt, who were guarding the door, were anxious. They raised their fists and made battle poses with the elves.
With a cough, Edward turned around with a calm expression and flew toward the big hole in the ceiling with Jeanne. "If you had told earlier that you guys were fighting, I would not have come down here. You guys can continue. I remembered that Catherine wanted me for something just now. I"ll head back."
"You want to leave? Stay here."
The silence in the room broke. A ferocious smile appeared on the Elven King"s face again. He stretched his hands outward, and dozens of thick and long vines from all directions immediately swung toward Edward"s back. Watson snapped his fingers, and a blazing light of molecular acceleration appeared. Ninety percent of the vines were shattered, but a few escaped and wrapped themselves around Edward"s body.
Watson was furious. Due to his father"s sudden intrusion, he did not have the time to complete the fusion process with the Elven King. His attack had already been released, and the room was too narrow. If he used the molecular acceleration skill, he would hurt his family and friends. That was why the Elven King was victorious in his attack.
The barbs on the vines tightened around Edward"s body and were about to tear him apart.
Suddenly...
A loud song resounded throughout the room. Jeanne kicked her calves randomly in Edward"s arms and let out a loud cry as a layer of bright golden light appeared on her body. The light condensed into long, thick, and scorching molecular acceleration beams that shot in all directions. The vines wrapped around Edward"s body were vaporized and turned into ashes almost instantly when they came into contact with the light beams.
After shattering the vines, the molecular acceleration beams did not stop for even a second. They penetrated the walls in all directions and burned the walls that had evolved into living creatures. The light beams also pa.s.sed through the Elven King and the elves behind him. The elves were unable to resist the beam of light at all. Large holes appeared in their bodies, and they screamed as they fell to the ground; it was the same with the Elven King.
The blazing golden light penetrated his chest, and a large hole appeared. He held the large hole in his chest; his face was filled with pain and disbelief.
"I was defeated by a baby?!"
He was not that surprised, even after being defeated by Watson. That must have been the family"s newborn family member. She had cried out with a powerful burst of power from her body, and it had almost wiped out all the elves, and he also suffered some severe injuries. He might have died if he did not have the power from the Spring of Life.
Even a baby could defeat him. How would he conquer the Blackmoon Castle and the Holy Dragon Kingdom next? It had dealt a ma.s.sive blow to his confidence.
While he was in a daze, an elven race chess piece emitting an emerald green light fell from his chest. A slender female arm took the Elven chess piece first before he could reach it.
"It"s like I expected. Elven King, you are no match for Watson, indeed. I thought you could hold on for a little longer. I didn"t expect you to lose so quickly. You even lost to a newborn child. Fortunately, I came just in time."
The owner of the arm was a girl with red hair. Her hair danced freely like a snake, and her charming face had a confident smile.
"Who are you?"
Watson frowned. The girl felt familiar, but he had never seen her before.
"It doesn"t matter who I am. What"s important is that Blackmoon Castle and Mount Creation will soon be destroyed."
The red-haired girl smiled and pointed the elven race chess piece in her hand. "Supernatural evolution power."
The Elven King, who had a large hole in his chest and was relying on the power of the Spring of Life to heal himself, suddenly let out a miserable cry. His body expanded, and vines crawled from his body, sweeping in all directions. The vines absorbed the elves who could not dodge in time. Soon, more than a hundred elves were absorbed into the Elven King"s body. Only Delta managed to escape in time.
