"Nothing, this mission is going to the stealth division, we are the strike division, remember? That’s why we are assigned close to the mother tree, just a bit farther from the defense division and range strikers."
"Hopefully we don’t see any actions today." She mutters, which everyone agrees.
As beastmen, they like fighting but with such a crowd, once they take action, the collateral damage is going to be large.
"With the recovery of the mother tree, our world will usher a brand new age, we can use this opportunity to grow stronger, we must recruit more powerful warriors to create more powerful offsprings." She states.
Everyone are excited for this, the opportunity to grow stronger, no one will deny this chance.
Just as they were daydreaming, a report appears in their watch.
"Multiple unfamiliar scent has entered the dense crowd!" She grits her teeth.
The worst thing to happen has appeared, this is going to be difficult.
Meanwhile, Sean stares at the large number of soldiers stationed all around the area.
"There are so many soldiers here, this is the best use of the recovery of your mother tree, everyone present in the area will definitely receive her blessings."
"Yeah, that’s why we called them here." The head priestess lies.
She doesn’t want anything to affect him right now, she’s preventing any news from spoiling his mood.
"So, these are the ten individuals that were chosen as the sacrifices for the ceremony, I’ve already read all the information regarding all of you, still meeting you in flesh is better than just words from the documents."
"Since there is still an hour before the first light of the sun shines in this world, let me test your resolve."
The ten quickly becomes tense, they hadn’t heard anything about this.
Peerless Aura + Charm.
Emperor’s Dominion!
Suddenly, a powerful pressure descends on them, their breathing becomes labored.
"You two passed, while the rest barely passes." He didn’t really make it hard for them and disperses his aura.
As this group of elves were just recovering, he asks them. "Do you know why you’re all called sacrifices rather than chosen ones?"
They were stunned, they hadn’t really throught about it.
"It’s because, to make sure that your mother tree recovers without any problem, I had to infuse my yang energy into her, my life force is strong enough to generate a life giving medicine for even your mother tree."
He turns to them.
"If your body starts to break down, I won’t hesitate to absorb you and transform you into nutrients for your mother tree."
This made the ten men to feel a chill running down their spines.
"What if we survive?" The one that asked was Camella’s cousin.
"As expected of her cousin, you’re quite perceptive of you."
"You will obtain the blessing of your mother tree, making your aptitude one of the highest in the entire elf populace of this world, just below of the elf queen, technically, this massive boost will transform all of you into female elves."
The ten quickly turns pale causing him to laugh.
"Don’t worry, that won’t be happening, don’t you forget, the energy that I’m going to send inside of you isn’t just a normal energy."
"Yang energy, the most masculine energy in existence." The elf prince mutters.
"Correct, if you survive, you will receive a talent equal to that of the female prodigies of your world without transforming into one, you will also obtain the tempering from my energy, your bodies will be further enhanced, making any journey to paths you wish to take much easier."
"Will our strength grows if we survive this ceremony?" Asks one of the elves hurriedly.
He looks at him strangely. "That’s already a given fact."
He blushes but he was happy to hear an affirmation to the rumours they heard.
Sean spends the next few minutes examining their physique, he can’t deny that Camella had done a great job improving their fitness.
"Good, prepare yourselves, I’m going to infuse my yang energy into your body, I want you to steady yourself as the intensity will increase with the presence of the sun."
They take a deep breath and prepares themselves, this is what they had been training since they were chosen.
"Put both hands into your mother tree, she will automatically absorb my energy so you doesn’t need to do anything but just stand there, gritting your teeth till the end."
They were shocked, they didn’t expect that they would actively touch the most sacred object of their world but suddenly, they sensed a calling in front of them and instinctively put their palms into the tree.
They were dumbfounded, they had done this instinctively, as if they weren’t in control of their bodies.
"It seems that your mother tree made the decision for you." He chuckles.
The dark expression of the, priestess, head priestess, and the queen disappears after hearing his words.
Sean rubs his hand gently on the tree. "You’re excited too, hah, you’re also very happy to see your children watching over you, as expected of a caring mother, your first thought are always your children."
Hearing him, the elves wants to cry but they hold themselves.
Taking a deep breath, his body starts radiating intense heat.
Sun Rune!
Burning Sun!
The appearance of the sun startles everyone, those that were watching knows that he had started.
"Prepare for anything!" Camella roars as the fur in her body spreads, her eyes radiates intense killing intent directed towards anything that dares to approach.
Not just her, every single one of the guardian prepares themselves.
Dawn.
As the sun’s first light hits Sean, the warm glow from him was immediately transferred towards the ten male elves and their energy was absorbed by the tree of life.
A green glow appears around the body of the enormous tree.
Suddenly, multiple figures takes action, Sean can sense them and was stunned.
’Are all of them this idiotic?’ Just before they can do anything, they freezes as they were sent out of the world.
"Ignore the commotion and focused in trying to control the energy in your bodies, those fools wouldn’t be able to achieve anything, this place is the domain of your mother tree, as the will of this world, she can banish anything whenever she wants."
Hearing his words, the elf queen was stunned, she didn’t know this, no one did.
Sean doesn’t know this, for him, such information should be common knowledge on being that lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
The event might seem boring but for the elves, their excitement only increases as the power of the world is now returning to it’s former vitality.
Suddenly, the expression of the elf queen and the head priestess changes.
The two of them silently left his side, then, those of the same level as them flies towards the sky.
"So, according to Sean, the area around our mother tree is her absolute domain?" Camella asks.
"Yes, he thinks that everyone knows this but we clearly didn’t but it seems that some of our enemies do."
"You mean those things that had entered our territories are our enemies?"
"Yes, I’m now certain, they are going to attack this world directly, expending the energy of our mother, making her recovery fail."
"My queen, we should ask help with the members of our alliance!"
"I already have, the Elf Unity has answered me and are now sending units in our location, unfortunately, because I only sent the message after sensing our satellites getting destroyed, it might take some time before they arrive."
"Then, it’s useless to ask for help from the Spirit Alliance then?"
"Unfortunately, yes, still, I asked them and they are sending their fleets, we must hold them back long enough for the ceremony to be completed!"
As True Innates, their avatars aren’t just abilities to make them stronger but a way for them to reach the domain of the gods, traveling through space isn’t impossible for them.
"Satellite fifty six has been destroyed, the enemies has entered a state of overdrive!" One of the elves shouted with a pale expression.
The elf queen frowns, she sighs. "I should have asked Sean about what preparation we should had taken to prevent this."
"Don’t blame yourself, my queen, he doesn’t know that we are unaware about our own mother’s ability!"
This left a bitter taste in her mouth, they, as elves, has no knowledge about the authority of a Tree of Life regarding the world it’s inhabiting.
"Let’s forgo the wallowing self-pity later, we need to focus on what’s important, stopping those fleets from reaching our world."
"My queen, the amount of spirit stones and mana crystals we spent buying those satellites won’t be in vain, I think that the reason why those ships went to overdrive is because of the early defense system put in place to prevent those cosmic abomination on reaching our world."
She understands what she’s saying, if such objects are able to block a cosmic abomination, it can block a fleet that hasn’t prepared that much ships.
"We’re going to procure more after this battle, I won’t let those intruders stop the coming of the golden age of our world!"
Back in the elven world, Sean was slowly getting hotter and hotter.
The elves can feel the vitality in the surrounding becoming more defined.
’I guess I underestimated this bunch, they aren’t even having a hard time absorbing my yang energy.’
Things are looking good, since they aren’t even having a hard time yet, it meant that they can endure more intensity later.
Time trickles by, with the sun rising to the sky, Sean’s heat was getting more intense, unlike before, all the male elves are now sweating.
Their clothes are helping them redirect the heat but it wasn’t enough to truly help them.
The elves watching from afar continues to stay there, they don’t care if they are watching the same thing for hours, the recovery of their mother tree is their greatest wish and they don’t want to miss a second of it.
"Pray, tell them to put their faith to your mother tree." Sean suddenly speaks.
Noon is coming soon and it will test the will of these men and also just how strong the power of faith is.
Hearing his command, the priestesses immediately reacts and shares the instructions to everyone.
One by one, the elves kneels and put their hands together as they pray to their mother tree.
The power of faith made it easier for the tree of life to gather the yang energy near her.
Meanwhile, above them, in outer space, a grueling battle was happening.
A fleet belonging to the demon race was fighting against the avatars of the True Innates of this world.
Because the news hadn’t really spread that far, the demon race only discovered that one of their curses was broken but they don’t know which of the worlds they targeted manage to achieve this.
That is until, one of the elves responsible for doing business in neutral ground had shared the news to brag to his fellow elves from other worlds.
Together with the coordinates, they tried to attack but didn’t expect that the world they are targeting are a paranoid bunch that bought so many protection satellites.
"Commander, we can’t go one like this, our ships can’t endure such battles for long."
"Tsk! They got lucky that we don’t have any True Innate experts on board, retreat!"
Realizing that they can’t do much, the entire fleet starts retreating slowly.
Camella, who had half of her face blown off and one of her legs destroyed was stunned to see the enemy fleet retreating.
The elf queen was relieved, she was getting exhausted, they had been fighting for hours, what kept them fighting were their own willpower.
"They are retreating!" One of the elders roars, he wants to chase after the fleet but was unable to, his current appearance looks like a dying old woman.
"Don’t worry, they won’t get away, the reinforcement will intercept them, with the amount of energy they used, their ships wouldn’t be able to survive another battle."
