Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 961 - 547: Capture

"No, there’s something wrong with these roots; don’t let them get close to us. They can quickly drain our divine power," Zhang Tiangang warned immediately.

At this point, the others also started to notice the problem.

As the range of the cage formed by the tree roots kept shrinking, it became inevitable that they would come into contact with the roots and soon they tasted that draining sensation.

In addition to his warning, Zhang Tiangang quickly took out a Defense Array Disk from his Storage Bag and activated it.

But to his shock, he discovered that as the tree roots touched the surface of the Defensive Array, although the Array was not under strong attack, the energy contained within the disk was rapidly diminishing.

In just 10 seconds, nearly thirty percent of the energy had been drained away.

The others naturally noticed this as well and panic-stricken, they each took out various life-saving items in an attempt to save themselves.

But by the time they were encircled by the root cage, it was already too late—their fate was sealed from that moment.

While Ye Feng was using his Devouring Ability, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder at the power of his system ability.

Although he was a bit disappointed at not receiving a new ability from the system after breaking through to the Demigod level,

the abilities he had acquired before still strengthened with his Realm, just as they had in the past.

At this moment, the Devouring Ability granted by the system was many times more powerful than when he first obtained it.

Where he could only devour upon contact before, now he could devour from a distance.

This was also the reason why these strongmen, despite having Protective Divine Light or even defensive shields, were still having their divine power devoured.

Additionally, there was a new ability that allowed the Devouring Ability of the lateral roots to be transferred entirely to the Main Root.

At the extreme, the Devouring power of a thousand lateral roots could be superimposed onto one Main Root, which made the Devouring Ability quite terrifying.

Ye Feng’s single root, when used to devour Rule Power, could devour a thousand points per second.

In this case, even if only a hundred roots were stacked, that’s a hundred thousand points of Rule Power devoured every second.

Of course, the bodies of these True God Strongmen contained mostly Divine Power, making the rate of absorption much slower, but even so, it was an incredibly terrifying number.

Ye Feng estimated it wouldn’t take more than a few minutes to exhaust all these enemies to death.

"In another three minutes, they should have little strength left to resist," Ye Feng concluded after doing some quick calculations.

At the same time, he looked at the golden fruit that was growing on his branches.

What was stored inside was the Divine Power that only a True God Strongman could possess.

Even through the Evolution Fruit, Ye Feng could feel the ferocity and surging nature of this Divine Power.

"These are nice resources; I hope I’ll be able to use them after some research. At the very least, they could provide energy to the Heavenly Court Relics, saving me a great deal of Spirit Stones," he murmured softly to himself.

His gaze then shifted to the four True God Strongmen trapped by him, and he began to hesitate slightly.

He was contemplating whether or not to kill them.

If it were someone else, having enemies at this level would leave no second option apart from death.

After all, no one would dare keep a ticking time bomb close to them.

But Ye Feng was different; his system had the Capture Ability, which could almost ensure that once successful, the captive would not betray him.

Of course, this was quite challenging; he was only at the Demigod level, and the gap in Realms was simply too vast.

However, there was not a complete lack of opportunity—if he could get these True God Strongmen to cooperate with him.

But that would require a great deal of ideological work and would certainly take a very long time.

"After this crisis is over, we can try for a few days. If persuasion fails, then we’ll just have to kill them!" Ye Feng didn’t linger over his decision and quickly made it.

He didn’t stay put and began to make his way back.

Of course, due to his enormous size, Ye Feng didn’t directly return to Earth, but instead, he floated in a synchronous orbit.

Before dealing with the trouble from those four True God Strongmen, Ye Feng didn’t plan to return to Earth.

Of course, not returning didn’t mean he wouldn’t pay attention to the battle situation on Earth.

At this moment, Bluru and others were still in battle with the Four Great Daoist Authorities, no, now only three remained, still engaged in combat with them.

Of course, with the help of Ye Feng in his Thunder Dragon form, they had already dealt with the vast majority of the members.

However, those core members holding Divine Artifacts were not so easy to deal with.

With the might of the Divine Artifacts, they could still hold out.

By now, they were actually not in the mood to fight anymore; everyone kept their attention on the battlefield of the True God Strongmen.

Seeing that the four Elders had been captured by the Demon Plant, their morale had plummeted to rock bottom.

"You have one minute to consider; those who surrender and lay down their arms will not be killed," Ye Feng’s voice entered the ears of everyone on all three battlefields.

In an instant, the members of the three remaining Daoist Authorities began to hesitate.

The current situation was clear to anyone who wasn’t a fool; even the Elders had been captured, and it would take the enemy only moments to crush them if they so desired.

But accepting surrender was hard for them to stomach, and they also feared they might be pursued by their sects afterward.

After all, the Four Great Daoist Authorities were not just made up of True God Strongmen; their sect leaders or alliance leaders were Higher Gods!

Right then Bluru could see the turmoil in the enemies’ eyes. He raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

"Everyone, take a moment to calm down. Honestly, there’s nothing to hesitate about; surrender and live or don’t surrender and die.

"Of course, I know some of you are worried about retaliation," he said.

"Not to say whether your Four Great Daoist Authorities have the strength for revenge, but even if you do, dying a bit later is better than dying now, isn’t it?" Bluru spoke in a cheerful tone, each sentence a piercing taunt to their core.

Wang Zhan’s expression was dark; he said nothing, but in reality, he was already communicating telepathically with others.

Not only Tai Chu Mountain Gate but also on the other two battlefields, the same thing was happening.

As for Ye Feng, after making his statement, he had no desire to bother with these people.

These Demi-god Strongmen were important, but not essential.

Ye Feng valued their Divine Artifacts more; if they didn’t surrender, he would simply have to expend some energy to train his subordinates.

So, after making his remark, he continued to rapidly extract the Divine Power from the four True God Strongmen while observing the situation in the depths of space.

Having suffered such a significant loss by the Four Great Daoist Authorities, Ye Feng wasn’t sure if they would continue to seek revenge.

If they dared to come again, those who would come wouldn’t be just at the peak of True Gods but very likely Higher Gods.

He had already tried, and knew the intensity of an attack from a Higher God Level enemy, understanding just how terrifying such an enemy could be.

If it happened again, he surely wouldn’t be able to withstand it, so he needed to start preparing now for what might come.
