Dark Trees were not truly intelligent creatures, but they were alive—and like any living being, they defended themselves when threatened. The Dark Tree in the Purity Continent, the southernmost land under the Imperium of Time, lashed out with wild ferocity the moment danger approached. Its colossal branches twisted and whipped like titanic whips, generating shockwaves powerful enough to raise entire mountain ranges.
Unfortunately for it, the Dark Tree was never meant to be a battle automaton. It was a creature of roots and dominion, designed to drain, corrupt, and feed, not to duel gods. Against ordinary Prima Deities, its strikes were devastating, flinging them away like pebbles before a hurricane. But against ArchDeities, the defense was meaningless.
