Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 1983: 0436 Divine Palace Roaring, One Punch Kill! (Big chapter for monthly ticket and subscription requests)

Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

Faced with Levi’s confusion, Mana indicated that she couldn’t provide answers either.

Recently, she had just awakened from her slumber and successfully advanced to Level 6 Late Stage, when she began to feel an itch in her toes.

Her root system, after hundreds of years of growth and spread, had long filled the underground.

The source of her itch? These little green saplings.

Based on Mana’s perception as a divine tree, she believed these were a type of transcendent creature, something between plants and animals.

Considering they were planted by Levi, she called him over.

Levi looked at the saplings, emitting raspy, infant-like cries.

In the alien races of the Wizard World, there exists a species known as “Tree Men.”

They have bark-like exteriors and can perform photosynthesis.

The plants before him shared some similarities.

Their roots were frantically absorbing nutrients from the Golden Fertilizer underground.

Slowly, they began to grow at a speed visible to Levi’s naked eye.

Moreover, after testing, he found their bark exceptionally hard, enough to withstand an attack from a high-level pharmacy apprentice’s cantrip.

It’s worth noting—they had only just been born; they were still children.

“If they grow into their Complete Body, these Tree Men will likely possess significant strength.”

Suddenly.

One of the Tree Men bent waist towards the distant ancient banyan tree, gazing at it with reverence, and in a soft, childlike voice said:

“Ma… Mama, Mother… Goddess!”

This caused Mana’s expression to shift.

“Levi, what’s going on? Why are they calling me mom?”

As a young girl, despite living for tens of thousands of years, Mana had never experienced anything resembling romance, let alone motherhood.

Levi couldn’t help but laugh.

He too was curious what exactly Ayak had brought back this time.

With one Tree Man taking the lead, the others went into a frenzy, parroting like little echo machines, calling either “Mama” or “Mother Goddess.”

Mana declared:

“I’m not your mother! Levi, explain this to them!”

Levi replied, somewhat helplessly. “I’m at a loss too.”

One particular Tree Man, which looked slightly different, lightly extended its roots to make a connection with Mana’s. A stream of information entered her mind.

She was silent for a moment before speaking:

“I understand what they are now. They call themselves… the Green Tribe.”

Levi mused:

“The Green Tribe?”

Surrounded by a group of tiny Tree Men, Mana and Levi recounted the story of the Green Tribe.

The origin of the Green Tribe remained a mystery; not even their inner sages, known as the [Green Prophet], were aware of it. This civilization lacked a tradition of recording history and instead relied upon genetic Brands to pass down legends about the Mother Goddess.

The Mother Goddess was likely a powerful divine tree, their god.

The Green Tribe was, in essence, a form of plant-based life that propagated through seeds or spores.

Every member of the Green Tribe contained seeds or spores within their body structures.

If they died, as long as suitable conditions for growth were met, new individuals could emerge.

This resembled the way ordinary plants reproduce.

Moreover, while most plants had male and female distinctions, the Green Tribe did not.

Additionally.

Within the Green Tribe, a giant tree would often emerge, known as the “Green Prophet,” whose responsibility was to communicate with the Mother Goddess and relay her divine will.

The Green Prophet’s body contained the seeds of all types of Green Tribe lifeforms, akin to a genetic library, ensuring the continuity and completeness of their species.

Furthermore.

Powerful Green Prophets could even create mutating Green Tribe lifeforms, giving rise to stronger species.

The distinct sapling that had communicated with Mana was likely destined to become this group’s future Green Prophet.

This explained its remarkable intelligence and unique abilities.

Levi hadn’t expected such astonishing magic from these simple seeds.

Just as Sauron had said, the Multidimensional Plane was full of limitless wonders.

Levi remarked:

“Mana, why not go ahead and become their Mother Goddess? My guess is the real Mother Goddess has long since perished.”

Mana herself was a divine tree. It made perfect sense for her to become the deity of this Green Tribe.

Within the Multidimensional Plane, divine trees were often revered as deities of various civilizations.

Pandora’s mother tree was the god of the elves, the Golden Ancient Tree was the deity of the Golden Absolutes Race…

These species were both creations and devotees of their divine trees. Their faith, in turn, nurtured the divine trees’ evolution.

The path of faith wasn’t exclusive to the gods of the astral world.

Inhabiting the Multidimensional Plane, native totems also followed the same path.

Moreover, Mana herself, as a divine tree, possessed immense potential.

For her, even if faith dissipated, it wouldn’t hinder her strength.

She was not like some gods whose powers were precariously built atop faith alone.

The path of faith could serve as a side venture for her growth as a divine tree.

Mana thought it over and replied:

“That would be fine. After all, I’ve got nothing better to do. These little ones are rather pitiful too.”

Thus, she used her abilities as a divine tree to establish communication with the young Green Prophet.

“Indeed, I am the Mother Goddess!”

Mana stopped pretending and revealed her true intentions.

The Green Prophet and the surrounding saplings were ecstatic, chanting “Mother Goddess above” in awe.

From Mana, Levi learned the Green Tribe had a myriad of soldier species, numbering in the hundreds. Among them, a few stood out as the most crucial and most common.

First, the Ancient Tree Guardian.

This species represented the pinnacle of growth, capable of reaching up to a thousand meters in height and theoretically living for thousands of years. Their strength ceiling was Level 6, though most struggled to exceed rank five. Ancient Tree Guardians possessed incredibly tough bark and rooted themselves deeply into the Earth, creating dense underground perception networks to thwart enemies attempting to burrow into their territories. Their branches could extend into unyielding vines, resistant to blades and projectiles, and with their towering height, even provided a degree of aerial defense. When one Ancient Tree Guardian ensnared an enemy, nearby Guardians would respond instinctively, resulting in the victim being strangled and rendered into fertilizer for collective growth. That said, even without fertilizer, they adapted well and were capable of photosynthesis like ordinary plants.
