Chapter 995 The Gathering of the Guided Ones

The speed of the thrusters is very fast that the pressure of the wind is much more troublesome to handle compared to the time we are fleeing from the Antlions and the Sandstorm they carry with them.

I don't even dare think or breathe while we are in this speed for a bit and I don't know how far we have been but I am pretty sure the mansion fly into the air and forces the whole mansion to shoot forward.

Thankfully, it was in a short while and the situation has calmed down.

"You guys, it's all good now. You lot can now take your grip from where you all are holding on."

We all sighed in relief hearing this. The others all went outside as well after the incident. Since we don't know how far we have been sent from the thrusters, we went outside and looked at the distance we travelled.

We are now nearing the tree thanks to the help of Almira's new thrusters that she installed to the legs of the Mansion. Not only that but the ones who are racing with us are also gathering. Countless of people, whether ordinary people, royalty, or even those mercenaries and players are all trying their best to reach the tree's location.

If this is still viewed by me as an event, then this is a very wide scale event. Most of the people and players are not even caring about our walking mansion as their eyes are more on focusing their sights on the glowing tree.

"Wow, seeing all of the people and different other races coming together to gather to the Tree of Life is outstanding. I didn't even know what to say about this..." Queen Tanya commented as she look all over the ground with all the people on the way.

"Perhaps because of the legend of this tree and the fact that it appeared all of a sudden to all people compared to it's previous appearances that caused the influx of people. And with the ability of this tree to give blessings, that alone is enough for the whole populace to gather and try their chances in getting bestowed with the blessing of the tree," Rika rubs her chin as she has been fascinated by the number of people gathering.

"Yeah. Even myself wouldn't pass this chance to get a good chance to receive its blessings as well if I was in their situation as well. I wouldn't hesitate to join them even if it is very dangerous," Riko commented as she munches on some cookies left over earlier that she stashed for herself.

"But if that is the case, will everyone starts fighting each other just to get to the tree a lot faster once we arrive on its root?" Rika is now worried.

"That is indeed possible. There is no way there will be no violence while this happening all over the world who can see the massive tree. Anyone would try to make sure they get into the tree with as little competition as possible. I doubt they would just let things be once we get near. But for now, we should just enjoy the calm before the storm. In fact, we should get more prepared as well. Problems will start rising later on and I don't think we will be able to properly handle it if we just let things be," Queen Tanya is pretty certain about what she just said.

The calm of the storm. Yes, this is indeed the calmest time before trouble comes. In fact, we are just getting started and the main menace of all has yet to appear and get troublesome to deal with.

Now that the tree is now out in the open, it is only a matter of time before the Goddess of Life and Nobuhiko either get their hands on the tree. However, there is only a nothing much we can do.

The question is...are we even prepared to face her? Especially since the Versatile Weapon is not yet complete? I don't know, but there is one thing I am keeping positive for and that is I will give it my all to prevent her from doing what she wanted.

While the Alternate World has been in chaos since the appearance of the tree, the other world where Manato and the others came from are also in their similar situation. After all, the sudden appearance of a giant tree that seems to extend until at the very end of the skies has appeared overnight. Not only does it glows even during the morning, it causes all sorts of talks to the people all over the world.

Governments around the world are now trying to investigate the tree and what it's real purpose but until now, no one seems to be able to pinpoint the main location of the tree while others are either marvelled by the appearance of the tree or are getting paranoid.

There are many hearsays scattering all over that also adds fuel to the fire about this incident despite most of them are just pure bullsh*t and just fake news that are product of gossips and theories from the populace.

Not only that but it also started spawning the doomsayers and cults that started to create their "religions" and recruiting their believers?pertaining about the Tree of Life.

News has been reporting the updates and info about the tree that the the government decided to call it the Everlight Tree and although nothing of a concrete info has been released so far, many believed that this might be somewhat connected to the Alternate World game as the game is also featuring an event that also spawns a giant tree which causes the forums of the game to be populated by multiple people talking about the tree itself.

Of course, since there is no solid information to lean on, everyone can only wait for what it was while those curious enough are now trying to locate the main location of the tree and find it

Although not many are happy about the appearance of the tree due to its unknown nature, one person is ecstatic seeing the tree on all of its glory

"That...that is the Tree of Life! It has finally appeared!" Nobuhiko couldn't contain his happiness seeing the tree for the first time in his life.

"Master, it seems your goal is one step closer to completion," the android servant of Nobuhiko said while standing behind Nobuhiko looking at the giant tree in the distance.

"Of course, if not for my effort, the appearance of the tree will not be forcefully revealed. It's all thanks to the Goddess of Life for giving me a chance to do the plan and finish it up. Now, it's only a matter of time before we will get the chance to obtain the power of the Tree of Life."

"But master, is it really necessary to do this? Won't there be any repercussions to your actions?"

Nobuhiko turned around, revealing his sinister smile to the android before him.

"I don't need to worry about the details. After all, a literal god is on my side!"

The distance between the mansion and the location of the great tree is closing in. Although no one knows where the tree is currently situated in, everyone is getting nervous as the distance gets closer and closer.

In fact, it's been a while since they have been using the thrusters to move full speed ahead and yet there are people trying to get rid of our mansion.

"GAH!"

One of the players who attacked us fell to the grass after I slashed his throat and reduced his HP to zero.

"That's already 20 since these players are attacking. Looks like Queen Tanya is correct, the people and players are now trying to score a kill just so that they can reduce their competition," Mr.Teddy said as he gather the items of the players who attacked and stack them to the side.

"It's good that you are now helping again in combat, Mr. Teddy," Riko said as she glance at the stack of loot from the players.

"Yeah. I am thankful for Almira taking me in as her assistant but now that the upgrades for the legs has been finished, I have nothing else left to do so I am going back into helping again."

Mr. Teddy has been with Almira as her assistant and he was busy with his work with her that he doesn't have any time to even join us in the usual fights making only Father and Mila as our fighters. But now that he is back again, his help is going to be needed again."

"Don't you think Almira will still ask you to do more work for her?" Riko tilted her head.

"She will still ask me more stuff to do but since we will be a little bit free this time around, I don't think there are many big projects for now. Of course, there is a possibility for her to suddenly call me but I think it will be after a while or during some repairs."

"Still, I can't believe only the two of you managed to craft those parts. Those things are massive!"

"Haha, I spent countless of days making them with less sleep and rest I was even close to stopping but Almira continued to help me so I am not that tired or anything."

As we continue to talk with each other, the voice of Almira flared up again on the speaker.

"It seems we are almost there. An hour from now, hold again to where you all are comfortable to hold on again as we will advance again forward for a bit more. We will be breaking through here and force our way to the tree's trunk. We are almost there."
