Chapter 2667: Chapter 1154: Mother Earth Reveals Herself (Part 3)

But the problem was that these Flame tentacles were made of pure elements, extremely plastic.

Once chopped down, they instantly dissolved back into Fire Element, merged again into the Flame Dragon Mother’s body, while new Fire Element tentacles were already stretching out from elsewhere.

For a moment it was hard to tell whether she had actually managed to injure it just now or not.

Under normal circumstances, the two sides would very likely have fallen into a stalemated war of attrition.

The Flame Dragon Mother indeed could not block the Melikai Avatar, but the Forest Lady also had no way to inflict a fatal wound on her in a short time.

However, the Melikai Avatar had come prepared; a brilliant radiance blossomed on the back of her left hand, where a Divine-level Element Energy Accumulator was embedded. Compared to her current enormous Divine Body, it was as insignificant as a grain of rice.

Yet at times, some things simply cannot be measured by Body Type, and the Elemental Energy Accumulator was one of them.

Driven by the Forest Lady’s Divine Power, this Divine-level Element Energy Accumulator erupted with a terrifying pulling force; its coverage was ten times that of a Legendary Level one.

Fire Element, no longer under control, surged toward it, pouring into it endlessly.

Hou!

The Flame Dragon Mother felt the threat; her squirming grew more frantic, her condensation of Fire Element increased sharply as she clung to them desperately, fighting for control.

Her control over Flame far surpassed anything those Flame Flying Dragons could compare to.

Even though the Forest Lady now stood within her, she could still only absorb some scraps from the fringes; there was no one-sided situation.

If there was no opportunity, then she would create one.

The two Curved Sabers, the Horned Blades, whirled madly, hacking wildly at those Flame tentacles and at the Flame Dragon Mother herself.

The Flame tentacles that were severed saw the Flame Dragon Mother’s control over them drop drastically; the Divine-level Element Energy Accumulator seized the chance to siphon them away, and the Flame Dragon Mother could only reel back a portion in time.

This was a process of one side diminishing as the other grew.

The Flame Dragon Mother’s Strength was continuously weakened, while the more elements the Energy Accumulator gathered, the more powerful it became, and the greater the Strength and range it could siphon.

Hou!

The Flame Dragon Mother roared again as she writhed, no longer spewing Molten Lava Balls outward. Instead, massive Power of Flames began to condense, forming terrifying Fire Pillars that shot skyward and surged toward the Forest Lady.

These Fire Pillars were a continuous Attack that could not be completely severed; they threw themselves forward in endless succession, one after another breaking through the Forest Lady’s defenses and slamming directly into her Divine Body. Though they did not ignite her, Divine Power rippled and visible burns appeared.

Seeing their effectiveness, all the Flame tentacles vanished, replaced by even more Fire Pillars.

One or two were nothing, but when the number of Fire Pillars exceeded a hundred, the situation became alarming; even Melikai had no choice but to temporarily dodge the edge of the assault.

Her Divine Power began to compress, shrinking segment by segment, quickly reverting to an extra-large Body Type.

The Godhood Form had its own advantages: its Strength was terrifying, its Attacks astounding—any casual slash could cleave mountains and split the earth.

The crashing, tumbling rocks all around made that perfectly clear; even without intentional effort, Melikai still caused massive damage to the surrounding terrain, creating permanent changes and leaving behind her exclusive mark.

A small Body Type also had its own strengths: the target was small enough and agile enough that most Fire Pillars struck nothing but air on the spot.

Most importantly, this time Melikai’s Attack did not rely on her own Strength, but on the Divine-level Element Energy Accumulator.

She simply abandoned the Forest Horn Blade, using the Divine-level Element Energy Accumulator as a knuckle-duster, and it was just right.

Wherever her fists passed, the Flame Dragon Mother’s defenses collapsed utterly, her body forcibly siphoned away inside.

Melikai’s movements were elusive; she refused to remain in the same spot, and since she was now within the Flame Dragon Mother’s body, anywhere there was Power of Flames became her target of Attack.

Those Flame barrages could only chase helplessly after her backside.

The Flame Dragon Mother changed tactics yet again, countless Flames drilling downward toward the depths of the earth. The entire Serenagrad seemed to be pulsing and trembling violently, as though some terrifying Strength was being stirred, ready to burst forth.

"She actually does have the ability to activate the Earth Veins’ Molten Lava!" Watching this scene from the sky, Gaven not only showed no worry, he even looked schadenfreude, "Doing this is just asking for trouble, inviting more enemies for yourself."

As expected.

Just as Serenagrad entered that pulsing state, with signs of rekindling, a deep yet majestic female voice came from within: "This land is under my protection. Any Life that attempts to destroy the stability of this land is my enemy. This land shall remain solid as bedrock."

Earth-yellow radiance converged from all directions, not only draping Serenagrad in a new mantle, but doing the same for the entire Marching Mountains.

The Molten Lava beneath Serenagrad, which had been surging and boiling like a Giant Dragon, instantly became as docile as a kitten, returning to calm.

This was Mother Earth Shontia making her move.

Throughout the entire history of the Felen Kingdom, there had been very few catastrophic disasters caused by volcanic eruptions.

The fundamental reason was that this land had a diligent and responsible Goddess of Earth, who guarded it like a loving Mother.

Those Earth Vein fluctuations that truly could not be avoided were either guided by her to sparsely populated wilderness, or directly channeled into the ocean, minimizing casualties.

The Flame Dragon Mother’s attempt to detonate a dead volcano was touching Mother Earth’s reverse scale; to be forcibly suppressed was only a matter of moments.

Moreover, Mother Earth had close ties with the Forest Lady; she was also known as the Forest Mother.

Melikai’s father–daughter relationship with the Forest Father Sylvanus might be debatable, but her mother–daughter relationship with Mother Earth Shontia was nailed in place. Without Earth, how could Forest be born? Without Forest, how could countless woodland creatures be nurtured?

The Forest Lady now stood as a buffer zone between the Forest Father Sylvanus and Mother Earth Shontia.

The former leaned more toward the feral side of nature, while the latter was shifting toward the side of intelligent beings taming nature, becoming their Protector.

Judging from developments in recent years, Mother Earth Shontia’s influence on the Forest Queen weighed somewhat heavier, for intelligent beings were now leading this world—this was a reality the Forest had to face.

The Forest Father’s old-fashioned ways were clearly somewhat outdated in this broader environment; once the two sides clashed, the ones to suffer most were often the Forest and the creatures within.

This is the Material Plane: whatever you do, you must first consider the attitude of the Gods.

These Natural Deities used the Flame Dragon Mother as a case in point to give Gaven a solid lesson, engraving this iron rule far more deeply in his mind.
