Instead, after Dante and the others rushed to Red Grave City in a race against time, they awkwardly discovered one thing. It seemed like … they could not do anything for the time being.
It could not be helped because this Qliphoth was still growing, growing day and night!
Standing on the top of a nearby tall building, they could see that the roots of this tree were constantly circling and slowly extending upward. They grew slower during the day and faster at night. Every minute, they would grow at most tens of centimeters, at least a few centimeters, but they never stopped.
They originally thought that it was already astonishing that this tree could grow to three hundred meters tall. After all, this was already the height of a skyscraper. But unexpectedly, with people's imagination, they could not predict the characteristics of this demon plant at all.
In just two days, the height of the tree had already exceeded one kilometer! When they looked up at the sky, they could vaguely see an enormous spiral-shaped canopy at the top. Occasionally, rubble from buildings would fall from the sky and hit the ground with loud sounds.
Dante and the others had wanted to climb up this giant tree to take a look, but unfortunately, when they arrived, the military had already sealed off the area around the giant tree, and a large number of armed soldiers were stationed there.
Soldiers with live ammunition surrounded the bottom of this giant tree, not allowing unrelated people to approach at all.
It was obvious that such a huge and disgusting plant had caused great panic among humans. The scene here had been broadcasted to all over the world by many news reporters who had rushed over after hearing the news. There were now countless pairs of eyes staring at this place.
Facing this situation, it was not good for Dante and the others to show up and barge in. They could only wait outside and see how the military planned to deal with it.
The humans' response soon came. In fact, after searching through information and ancient documents over the past few days, some human religious figures had already figured out the name of this tree. The Qliphoth, a legendary plant that only grew in the Demon World! After understanding the origin of this thing, the officials of the various countries shuddered. Finally, after some discussion, they unanimously decided to blow it up!
A large number of tanks, armored vehicles, and cluster rocket launchers were deployed to the area where the Qliphoth was. Large-caliber cannon barrels were raised one by one and aimed at the roots of the tree. In the sky, dozens of fighter jets whistled over and circled around the Qliphoth. The missiles mounted under the bellies of these fighter jets were ready to be fired at any time.
It had to be said that two thousand years ago, the demon swordsman Sparda had betrayed his demon compatriots and chosen to seal Demon King Mundus and the Demon World, giving the humans of this world a long chance to breathe, allowing them to develop civilization and technology. It was no wonder that many people called Sparda the savior. If not for him, the humans of this world would have been under the shadow of demons, reduced to pigs, sheep, and livestock slaves …
Now, the humans had pulled out their technological weapons and planned to use them to deal with the Qliphoth. This powerful posture was broadcasted by the cameras of the news reporters, greatly increasing the confidence of the people who saw it.
As the human commander gave the order to fire, the tanks, armored vehicles, and cluster rocket launchers roared. The flames from the muzzles and the deafening sounds formed a shocking scene. The fighter jets in the sky also fired all the missiles they carried in one breath. Hundreds of long 'sticks' flew in the air with thick white smoke trailing behind them as they flew toward the trunk of the Qliphoth.
The moment the cannonballs and missiles hit the tree trunk, countless blazing balls of flame exploded one after another, causing the trunk of the Qliphoth to be covered in endless thick smoke!
When this scene was broadcasted to the televisions of thousands of human households, all the people who saw it cheered in unison. In their opinion, this uneasy tree would definitely not be spared under the powerful firepower of the humans.
"Good job! Go! Blow it up! "
"Yes! That's it. Let it fall! "
"Get rid of this evil tree!"
After the human army launched the first wave of bombardment, they did not stop there. Instead, they continuously maintained their firepower and bombarded the Qliphoth. The bombardment points were basically concentrated in a fixed area so that they could achieve the best attack effect.
In just a few minutes, the part of the Qliphoth that was attacked was shrouded in a large amount of smoke and dust.
Even Dante could not help but sigh when he saw this scene. "Actually, human weapons are very terrifying …"
"I admit that …" Trish crossed her arms, and her long golden hair fluttered in the wind, looking very charming. "Maybe we don't need to do anything."
"Isn't that good?" Lady grinned from the side while wearing sunglasses. "We don't need to do anything to get money. We might not encounter such a good thing every time …"
When Dante heard this, he turned to look at V awkwardly. The sugar daddy is still here. Is it really good for Lady to talk about taking advantage in front of him?
However, V did not say anything and continued to look at the Qliphoth solemnly.
After a while, he suddenly lowered his head and looked at the poetry book in his hand. "Don't worry. In my opinion, there's no such thing as a free pie in this world …"
"What do you mean?" Lady was a little puzzled, but at this moment, the deafening explosions that had been ringing in her ears suddenly stopped. After turning around, she realized that the humans' bombardment had stopped.
The millions of people watching in front of the television and the onlookers all held their breaths. Their gazes were focused on the smoke-filled area, waiting for the smoke to dissipate.
They would soon know if the bombardment was effective or not …
A gust of wind blew past, and the smoke and dust that filled the air danced in the wind, forming strange patterns. Although they were unwilling, they still slowly dispersed. The moment they saw the Qliphoth, the human commander in charge of commanding the battle was the first to kneel!
"H-how is this possible?!"
The places that had been attacked by countless bullets were not even injured at this moment. Although the disgusting bark that looked like countless eyes was full of scorch marks, it was only on the surface. The expected scene of it being blown to pieces did not appear. The Qliphoth seemed to be fine as it continued to spiral slowly and grow.
This fact was too shocking. After the people who saw this came back to their senses, what followed was even greater panic.
They couldn't understand. What the hell was this thing? How could it remain unscathed under such a powerful attack?
"How is this possible? Is the bark on this damn tree so thick?! "Dante said in disbelief after seeing this scene from afar.
No one could answer him, including Trish, a demon from the Demon World, and she did not know. Just as Sareth had said, although this demon plant existed in both the Abyss and the Demon World, the growth of the Qliphoth was very poor. No demon would deliberately cultivate this' hell apple tree '.
But now, this Qliphoth had been planted in the human world by the demon that had separated from it. As the mastermind behind the scenes, the demon was definitely using magic power to nourish this giant tree. At the same time, when the giant tree sprouted, it had caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people. The souls and flesh of these humans had probably been used to irrigate this giant tree, which was why the Qliphoth had grown so … extraordinary.
Oranges in the south and oranges in the north might be describing this situation. Therefore, such a huge growth difference had caused the situation to exceed the expectations of Trish and the others. The defense and hardness of the Qliphoth made the attacks of the human army not have much effect at all. This giant tree continued to grow without any care.
You can hit all you want. If you tilt, it's my loss …
Of course, although the humans were depressed, they still did not give up. The more strange this giant tree was, the more they could not let it grow. Therefore, in the following time, the human army continued to attack and bomb. They did not rigidly focus on one place to attack but repeatedly probed, wanting to find the weak point of the giant tree.
After more than a week of this stalemate, the Qliphoth had already grown to a height of nearly three kilometers, and the huge crown at the top had even reached into the clouds.
The humans' attacks were getting more and more desperate, and the morale of the soldiers had hit rock bottom. The only reason they continued to attack was that up until now, the Kabbalah had only been growing on its own and had not done anything to fight back against the humans.
However, this situation only lasted until the 13th of May.
The Qliphoth, which had been growing non-stop, suddenly stopped growing!
It no longer continued to spiral upwards and became completely quiet. This caused the earthquakes that lasted for more than ten days in Red Grave City to suddenly stop on this day.
This sudden change made people a little bewildered, so another military probe appeared. The military once again sent a large number of fighter jets and helicopters to fly around the giant tree to investigate, wanting to find out what was going on.
As a result, the fighter pilots flying in the sky saw a shocking scene. At the top of the huge spiral-shaped canopy, there seemed to be a small fruit on a thick branch!
This tree, it actually bore fruit!?
When the fighter pilots wanted to get closer to continue investigating under the orders of the commander, a dense group of black shadows suddenly flew out from the center of the vortex canopy!
They were … groups of demons flying in the air!
They flapped their demon wings, and their faces were full of ferocious and bloodthirsty expressions as they laughed wildly and pounced on these human fighters! Under the horrified gazes of the human pilots, they crawled on the nose of the fighter and opened the cockpit cover. Taking advantage of the moment when the pilots had just ejected, they grabbed the ejection seats.
The next second, countless demon claws stretched out and began to snatch these human pilots. The human pilots screamed as they were cut into several pieces of flesh …
Fighter jets tumbled down from the sky while emitting smoke. Some directly hit the tree trunks and turned into fireballs, while others fell to the ground and blew up the buildings on the ground.
Tragedy, this was a tragedy from beginning to end! The sudden appearance of the Evil Demons utterly defeated the human army.
But strangely, after attacking the human army, these demons actually flew back to the Qliphoth as though it was their lair …
