Chapter 1167: Chapter 651: Goddess of Nature: Haha! I Escaped! (Bonus Chapter)

In the buffer zone, a tall woman is weaving through the jungle.

She stands out among the low canopy.

Above her head is a tall tree crown, like a gigantic umbrella, casting a pitch-black shadow below.

Contrasting her peculiar hairstyle is her strikingly beautiful face.

Her snow-white, straight face and elf-like pointed ears seem to attest to her link with elves.

Her tall, graceful figure is cloaked in leaves.

Her snow-white long legs gradually converge below the knees, and transform into deep brown, spreading out numerous roots.

This woman doesn’t have feet; instead, twisted roots take their place.

She moves slowly, like a walking tree, across the vast land.

Her name is Gloria.

Many prefer to call her the Goddess of Nature.

But Gloria doesn’t care much about titles anymore.

She gazes at the environment in bewilderment.

Where on earth am I now?

Gloria only remembers she was just packing her bags, escaping to a scrumptious world she’d long set her eyes on.

But in a blink, she’d found herself in this unfamiliar place.

Fear surged in Gloria’s heart.

Damn, could it be humans again?

She was nearly at tears.

Even though she’d been doing her best to avoid humans, somehow someone still managed to start a fire.

Gloria was confident in her powers. For this incident to occur, someone must have interfered.

The one certainty was this wasn’t Dawn Continent.

Good. As long as it’s not Dawn Continent, everything’s manageable.

That place was truly sinister, constantly breeding one or two godslaying powerhouses.

The worst part was she couldn’t beat them.

Always the first one to be killed.

Who could endure that?

When she realized this, Gloria internally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, she had escaped!

While Gloria silently celebrated, as soon as she infiltrated the buffer zone, Shen Sui and others responded to the dueling device’s call, entering the buffer zone.

"Ah! Long time no see, Claude!"

Alice’s familiar, cheerful voice rang in Shen Sui’s ear.

Shen Sui rolled his eyes and said, "It’s only been a few hours. So, what were you doing on Dawn Continent that scared the Goddess of Nature out?"

"Huh? Goddess of Nature? I didn’t know!" Alice’s clear eyes were filled with confusion.

Alright, it seemed genuine that she didn’t know.

Shen Sui couldn’t decide whether Alice was ignorant or whether Gloria was too timid.

"The forest you burned was Gloria’s divine realm," Shen Sui said helplessly.

"Eh?" Alice evidently just realized, "Was that so?"

"If I had known, I would’ve gone all out," Alice even regretted not using the Dawn Power to set the forest ablaze knowing it was the Goddess’s domain.

While talking, they descended to the ground.

The buffer zone had drastically changed its appearance.

Or, perhaps it had been divided.

To help Life Card Masters better deal with invading foes, Vivian had segmented the buffer zone.

Whenever new enemies invaded, Antipus would sort them into zones countering their characteristics.

Upon landing, Shen Sui immediately sensed a formidable aura lingering in the area.

No doubt, it was Gloria.

Staring at the forest ahead, Shen Sui was sure.

Logically, this buffer zone should have been a desert. How peculiar for such a vast forest to emerge.

It was understandable, the gods possess the power to alter the environment.

"Don’t start a fire yet!" Shen Sui promptly warned Alice beside him.

"Huh? Me?" Alice pointed to herself, feigning confusion, "Do I look like someone who randomly starts fires?"

Aren’t you exactly that?

Shen Sui looked at Alice’s innocent expression, helplessly thinking.

"Let’s hurry and find Gloria," Shen Sui wore a rare serious expression, "Others might not be able to handle her."

Normally, the first step when outsiders arrived was dueling to expel them.

Most Life Card Masters hadn’t gained the strength to clash head-on with fifteenth-level threats.

But this time was different.

Shen Sui hoped Gloria wouldn’t be expelled.

This Goddess of Nature was adept at concealing her identity. Scaring her out once was hard enough; letting her escape again would make reclaiming her divinity unpredictable.

He planned to seize this chance and seal the Goddess of Nature, Gloria, in the buffer zone.

As he contemplated this, Shen Sui placed his hand on a tree trunk.

This forest was indeed a creation of Gloria.

The gods, always instinctively altering surroundings to suit their tastes.

They never anticipated how their casual actions might impact the world.

Before Shen Sui could track Gloria, a loud noise suddenly erupted from a distance, echoing across the buffer zone.

Shen Sui looked up and saw two giants on the horizon.

They collided, evidently already engaged in battle.

Theis?

Among the Life Card Masters who entered this buffer zone, only Theis’ Soul Card possessed the ability to become a giant.
