A strange scene unfolded during the tense moment. The Ancient Tree, which had ceased all signs of life, suddenly trembled slightly, as if struggling against some invisible force. Not long after, new growth started to emerge at the top of its massive trunk, and the trunk itself began expanding outward. Although the expansion was slow, the charred bark fell away as the trunk grew, making the change strikingly visible.
The brown tree trunk reappeared, brimming with vitality far greater than before. The immense Ancient Tree began growing rapidly, the changes visible to the naked eye. First, the trunk grew back to its original height—and even exceeded it slightly—followed by thick branches that detached themselves from the tree at an astonishing speed. With each energy pulse, dozens of branches separated, and these branches continued splitting into smaller offshoots. This remarkable process rejuvenated the Ancient Tree's form entirely.
