As they went deeper into the greenery, the number of nerve fiber bundles increased. They occupied a huge, irregular hollow area and hid in the lush canopy.
The equally shocking amount of colorful luster was like electric currents visible to the naked eye, flowing back and forth on the ground and walls where the fiber bundles were entrenched.
If these nerve fiber bundles were regarded as electric wires, then the hollow area formed by them would be the most chaotic engine room in the world.
And this engine room emitted a terrifying aura that was enough to make any creature retreat.
Even if one did not feel the aura, just looking at the terrifying psychic power emitted by each nerve fiber bundle was enough to indicate the threat. And here, there was no way to count the number of nerve fiber bundles.
It was also fortunate that the psychic power of the nerve fiber bundles was not concentrated in one place. Otherwise, the pressure formed by the psychic power could scare away all the creatures in the vast area.
In fact, this place was at the top of the World Tree, which was the umbrella-shaped canopy. It was not affected by the high altitude climate and environment. It was like a mountain that had not moved for ten thousand years, standing quietly under the sun.
About a thousand meters below the canopy, there were only a few platforms on top of the tree trunk. On top of each platform, there were several creatures with overwhelming presence sitting cross-legged.
To be able to stand out from such an intense battle, their strength was obvious. Naturally, they would not be scared away by the aura.
However, even as strong as they were, they knew to stay away from the canopy for more than a thousand meters. The terrifying aura emitted from the canopy only covered a range of about 500 meters.
However, because of fear, the creatures that occupied a part of the World Tree would rather give up the more fertile position and double the safe distance.
After all, how could creatures that could stand at such a height be fools?
Just by looking up, the colorful stream of light flowing under the canopy was an absolutely insurmountable barrier, not to mention other dangerous phenomena.
[It's good to be here.]
Creatures with the same view could be found everywhere at this height.
They regarded the canopy above as a forbidden area. They did not even have the thought of seeing its true appearance.
What could often be seen was the colorful rainbow light that shuttled back and forth in the canopy. When it was still, it was like a rainbow of varying thickness, gorgeous and dangerous.
Where the canopy was, it was an uncrossable boundary.
No creature could see the situation inside the canopy or the scenery above the canopy.
The area above this line was truly a forbidden zone for life. Even the most powerful flying creatures could not break through this planned [Life Line].
Therefore, in the long history of the Darkness Continent, there were no records of the top of the World Tree. It was also impossible to know about the existence of the crystal brain and countless nerve fiber bundles.
Perhaps some lifeforms could vaguely sense [Those Existences], but they were rare exceptions. Moreover, their perception was vague and blurry, thus lacking a clear understanding.
Magical beasts like the red shadow and the green shadow, who were born with special talents, were life forms that could vaguely see the truth.
What they "saw" was a pair of "eyes" that observed everything.
Their senses were not wrong.
The nerve fiber bundles shuttling back and forth in the canopy drove the psychokinesis to form a [Complex Engine Room], condensing the seemingly limitless amount of psychokinesis into one place. Then, a portion of the psychokinesis continued to vaporize and float upward like water vapor. It passed through the ceiling formed by the nerve fiber bundles and arrived above the canopy.
The steam-like psychokinesis flickered with blue light as it floated and moved. As if it was guided by some force, it gathered in the air to form the shape of a Mobius Ring.
The dialysis of the shape and the flickering blue light made it look like a slowly glowing jellyfish in the deep sea. It was illusory and did not have a clear physical texture.
In the middle of the Mobius Ring's left and right sides, two clusters of psychokinesis whirlpools gathered toward the center. From there, they condensed into a translucent eyeball that was light blue and clearly different from the color of the sky.
The pair of light blue translucent eyeballs hovered in the hollow area on the left and right sides of the Mobius Ring, looking down at the highest point …
The eyes were formed by light blue psychokinesis and were illusory, like a light projection.
The direction of the eyes' gaze was constantly changing. Because the body was formed by light, the eyeballs did not appear out of place when changing the direction of view.
Below the projection-like light effect, there was a string of complicated unknown text flowing by. It was very much like the garbled code in a computer program.
Each word was as big as a sports field. If the words were magnified hundreds of times, one could see that every stroke and every drawing looked like a series of photos taken by a camera shutter.
In the chaotic flow of countless images, one could vaguely see the image of the Risfa Family in the Medusa Forest cave.
What was strange was that while the other images were moving quickly, the images of the Risfa Family were still. In a trance, in front of those still images, thousands of miniature eyeballs were projected, observing and analyzing the images.
To be more precise, they were paying attention to the psychokinesis aura that was about to disappear like smoke in the image.
That was Law's psychokinesis aura. When the trap was triggered by the Risfa Family, it would only stay for a short moment, then turn into ownerless psychokinesis, and finally disappear into the air.

A will invisible to the naked eye was confused for the first time.
The pair of pale blue eyes that slowly rotated in the ring suddenly became abnormally cold.
.....
After leaving the Medusa Forest, Law's team walked in the direction of the World Tree for half a month.
The reason why they didn't choose the vehicle named [Black Cat] was to reduce the risk of being attacked.
If there was a map of [Monster Distribution Density], then starting from any position in the Dark Continent, as long as they went straight in the direction of the World Tree, they would be able to see some signs from the map.
The density of land creatures distributed around the World Tree was more conspicuous, but it was not enough to make their presence felt.
Compared to the density of land creatures, in the area with the World Tree as the center point, the density of flying creatures could be said to have reached a level that was worth paying attention to.
In other words, the closer they were to the World Tree, the more dangerous it was to be in the air than on land.
This was Law's judgment based on his own experience and then combined with the information provided by Otofurus.
Therefore, to be safe, Law did not choose [Air Road].
While reducing the risk, the speed of travel would naturally be affected.
