[World's No. 1 Princess: "Cough cough, Kumoko, you really know a lot."]
[Kumoko: "Not at all. Compared to the omniscient and all-knowing Group Leader, I still have many shortcomings."]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "..."]
Am I praising you? And you can even argue back now.
Forget it, never mind. Time to get down to business.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "These Demon Vines shouldn't exist. They can turn a vibrant planet into a dead planet in a relatively short time, like the one I destroyed before. My goal this time is to destroy it."]
[Haibara Ai: "Group Leader, don't you need to be careful? It seems to be getting foggy."]
Watching the Group Leader still explaining things to the group members, Haibara Ai couldn't help but feel a little worried.
In the live stream, the red mist diffused in the air felt very wrong!
Beryl shifted her gaze from the Chat Group and looked at the strange red mist drifting in from all directions, saying unhurriedly:
"This red mist can cause hallucinations in creatures that enter it, usually affecting the five senses. The type of hallucination is generally related to desire."
Beryl continued to walk deeper into the forest, her pace not fast, and she occasionally provided explanations to the group members.
"Besides that, the Demon Vine has another attack method, which is also its primary one."
"That is, tendrils extending from surrounding plants or the soil on the ground."
Lightly leaping, Beryl dodged an attack coming from behind her.
Green vines passed through where Beryl had just been standing, spun in mid-air for a while, and then tied themselves to another tree.
The vines wrapped around the tree were not sharp, nor did they have thorns, but they possessed extreme toughness.
Another vine launched a surprise attack on Beryl from the right.
Beryl reached out and instantly grabbed it.
She looked down at the plant in her hand, feeling a slight burning sensation in her right hand holding the vine.
Beryl didn't mind and continued to explain to everyone:
"Apart from the hallucination I just mentioned, the Demon Vine's attacks are these vines that come out of nowhere. They release special substances that alter certain hormones in the body."
At this moment, perhaps angered, dozens of light green vines attacked from all directions.
"Still so persistent."
Beryl released the vine she was holding in her palm.
However, the moment she let go, the green vine, as if it had eyes, did not retreat but quickly wrapped around Beryl's arm a few times.
"So tenacious?"
The second her right hand was caught, the vines from other directions instantly accelerated.
With a few sizzling sounds, they attacked from all directions.
[Kumoko: "Eh eh eh? Group Leader, you, you, you... are you alright? This doesn't look good!"]
Kumoko covered her eyes.
[Lumine: "Strange... are these plants that strong?"]
From a sensory perspective, in the live stream, the tough green plants might be considered powerful to herself, but for a powerful existence that can destroy planets at will, could such plants trap her?
"Found it, the main body is over there."
Purple Destruction Energy rose around her body.
If a dignified God of Destruction were to stumble in such a place, it would truly be a laughingstock.
"Alright, that's enough."
The purple Destruction Energy completely cleared the surrounding messy vines.
As the purple Destruction Energy spread, the originally lush and verdant green vines withered at a visible speed. In just a moment, the surrounding vines turned into fragments and fell to the ground.
"My clothes seem to need cleaning."
Beryl lightly sniffed the distinctive scent on her clothes.
Then, looking at her arm and sleeve, the Destruction Energy gently swept over, and her slightly disheveled attire was instantly cleaned and looked brand new.
"As expected, these things are increasing; it was man-made and related to the Spirit Tree..."
In this universe, only he could do such a thing.
However, I haven't fully mastered the authority of the Supreme Kai, so I can't locate that guy.
[Kumoko: "Eh eh eh? Group Leader, you really... no way, no way?"]
[World's No. 1 Princess: "What?"]
Putting a part of her consciousness into the Chat Group, Beryl was a little slow to react.
[Kumoko: "It's just... it's just..."]
For some reason, whenever she thought of Beryl's recent actions, her mind would lag.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "It won't affect me. After all, I am a god. If I can't even be immune to a little bit of poison from the plants on a planet under my management, wouldn't that be too cheap?"]
[Lumine: "By the way, what does that thing smell like?"]
In Guyun Stone Forest, Lumine, listening to Enjou's report, was distracted and subconsciously posted a sentence on the public chat. As soon as she posted it, she regretted it, as chat content on the public screen cannot be withdrawn.
It's over, this is social suicide.
[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Lumine, you're actually curious. As for the smell, guess!"]
[Lumine: "..."]
"Your Highness, Princess, Your Highness..."
"Ah... Is there something else?"
Lumine was panicking internally, just like being caught red-handed reading strange books.
That being said, Lumine's expression remained perfectly calm.
As a big shot, it's only natural not to let subordinates see her thoughts.
Lumine merely glanced indifferently at Enjou behind her.
Enjou immediately felt a surge of pressure, so he respectfully said, "Regarding the Liyue plan, what should we do?"
"Don't worry about it." Lumine jumped down from the stone stool, landing near Enjou. "Since we've learned that Morax's deal with the Fatui is for the Gnosis, there's no need for a major commotion."
"Does he think that pushing everything onto Snezhnaya won't incur the wrath of Heavenly Principles?"
"What about Osial's side then..."
"Once the transaction is complete and the die is cast, Morax will have no way out."
"You want to go to war with Morax?" Enjou probed.
"What we want is Osial. He will definitely give him to us to protect Liyue."
"Of course, the premise is that we have leverage to threaten Liyue and the qualifications to contend with him."
"But, your previous plan wasn't like this."
"Can't I cancel it?"
"No, it's just that this subordinate feels that putting the Abyss out in the open is a bit risky. Morax aside, I believe Your Highness wouldn't fight a battle you're not confident in, but what if the one in the sky awakens, and your brother hasn't recovered his strength yet, this subordinate worries..." Enjou hesitated.
"Hmph, it won't awaken, we still have time." Lumine's eyes turned cold.
"Enjou, I have a task for you." Lumine turned around and said, "Go investigate the location of the Golden Wolflord. Such an alchemical creature is a bit wasted in the wild."
"Yes, this subordinate will obey your command."
Enjou opened the Abyss portal and slowly retreated into it.
