The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

As the battle began, the Yade Divine Tree seemed to sense the imminent danger.

The surrounding vines trembled, and sharp spikes formed from natural energy gradually emerged from the intricate branches.

The wooden walls of the vast space were covered in lush green weeds.

Leaves, glowing with a vibrant green hue, fluttered down from the sky, settling onto the walls embedded with grass.

From the thick wooden walls emanated several terrifying auras. The grass began to shed, and the leaves scattered in the air.

Green light fused into the walls, and a figure slowly emerged from the lush growth.

The creature was entirely green, its body wrapped in soul-like luminous green leaves, with clear textures visible. Only its eyes shone with a piercing white light.

In its hand, it held a circular blade, with a horrifying eye at its center, glaring at the intruders within the Divine Tree.

Level 45

[Green Ivy Guardian]

Viktor Kravina glanced at the creature without any visible reaction.

Its appearance signified that the heart of the Divine Tree had realized it was in danger.

The Yade Divine Tree itself lacked offensive capabilities, but it possessed an extremely troublesome defense mechanism.

It would summon monsters of the same level as those present, based on the number of individuals in the area.

Thus, when facing the Yade Divine Tree, even in a team, one must consider the number of participants to avoid summoning an overwhelming number of monsters.

However, Viktor had long devised a countermeasure for this.

He channeled the power of the Wood Calamity within him, and green patterns began to dominate, spreading across his coat.

The wild grass beneath his feet gradually withered, replaced by a vast expanse of green sprouts emerging from the soil.

Breaking through the damp black earth, the sprouts twisted and grew.

These green shoots burst through their shells, their bodies thickening and growing robust at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lush branches extended, and dense foliage emerged.

The tree continued to grow until it reached the upper layers of the entire space, where it finally stopped.

But then, flower buds began to grow wildly at the base of the tree, climbing up its thick trunk.

Two flower buds, supported by green vines, carved deep grooves into the sturdy trunk as they continued to ascend toward the canopy.

The flower buds grew larger and taller until they hung from the massive tree's branches.

The flowers seemed to swell as if something was forcing them open, and they suddenly burst into full bloom.

From within, several green monsters burst forth, armed with sharp pincers or sturdy shells, standing against the monsters summoned by the heart of the Divine Tree.

The flower buds atop the canopy showed no signs of stopping, repeatedly opening and closing, releasing wave after wave of monsters.

Meanwhile, the heart of the Yade Divine Tree, unwilling to relent, sensed the approaching danger, and its heartbeat quickened.

On the green walls, countless Green Ivy Guardians, armed with blades, continuously appeared.

The Guardians' blades spun and slashed, severing the smaller monsters in half.

They then used the leaves on their bodies to whip up storms, scattering the attacking monsters.

Viktor stood with his hands in his pockets, remaining calm even as the monsters he summoned were suppressed.

"The Yade Divine Tree has been nourished by generations of elves, its energy refined over countless years into the purest form of natural energy."

Thus, Viktor needed to deplete part of its energy first—by exploiting its summoning mechanism.

The more monsters Viktor summoned, the harder it would be for the Divine Tree to focus on him.

It required a continuous summoning of an equivalent number of Guardians to ensure its safety.

Soon, the soil beneath the ground suddenly gave way to several massive man-eating flowers.

They burst through the earth, devouring countless Green Ivy Guardians in one gulp, releasing thick sap within their floral mouths.

Whenever a Green Ivy Guardian was destroyed, the Divine Tree would summon another to replace it.

Its energy seemed endless.

The heart throbbed powerfully, thump, thump.

Only the Level 45 Green Ivy Guardian remained motionless.

It had been summoned to match Viktor's level and was meant to confront him.

However, Viktor made no moves, and the Yade Divine Tree struggled to identify Viktor as an enemy.

The overwhelming power of the Calamity shrouded Viktor, making it impossible for the Divine Tree to perceive him as human.

The heart thumped rhythmically, its summoning triggered solely by the sensed threat.

Viktor observed the pulsating heart, a peculiar thought crossing his mind:

"Vega, how does your magic compare to this?"

"You want me to compete with it? Hahaha."

Upon hearing Viktor's question, Vega let out a sinister laugh.

The next moment, a terrifying black wind swept through the towering canopy, engulfing Vega completely.

The shadow of the crow stretched unnaturally thin until it covered the entire space, climbing onto the densely packed sharp branches.

Even the pulsating heart glowed green under the darkness.

Its once sharp and sinister voice turned deep and chaotic, like an ominous melody echoing from the void—ethereal and deeply unsettling.

"Viktor, I never imagined you'd compare a god to a tree."

"How could I possibly lose?"

Viktor, hands still in his pockets, replied calmly:

"That's all I needed to hear."

In an instant, their eyes glowed blue, and a subtle connection formed between them.

Intertwining and merging, they established a magical bridge.

[Magic Value: \/]

At that moment, an overwhelming surge of magic erupted from Viktor's body.

His coat fluttered wildly under the immense pressure of the wind, while the tempest lashed out like a whip, bending every branch until it seemed they might snap.

Viktor stroked his chin thoughtfully:

"Which one should I use?"

Finally, he made his decision.

Lowering his gaze, he glanced at his mana bar.

Vega sensed something amiss, feeling his body grow weaker. He sharply turned to Viktor.

"Wait, Viktor, what are you doing!?"

In mere seconds, the mana had decreased significantly.

Viktor glanced at his mana bar.

The consumption rate was astonishingly fast.

But this was all within his expectations.

The boundless sea of magic was no longer restrained, bursting forth and spreading in all directions.

The dense blue aura even took on a physical form, resembling a tangible ocean that engulfed everything around it.

The oppressive magic was so overwhelming that even the massive heart felt pressured, its beats turning rapid and stifled.

At last, it recognized Viktor as a threat, and the Level 45 Green Ivy Guardian finally moved.

Under the crushing magic sea, it struggled to advance. Even when it forced its body forward, it was immediately swept away by the terrifying magic.

The Green Ivy Guardian could only spin its blade, with fearsome green energy coiling around it as it rotated at high speed.

The spinning green rings began to whirl rapidly.

It hurled the blade, the rings cutting through the dense magic sea, straining to reach Viktor.

But just as they were about to touch him, the attack shattered instantly.

Surrounded by this overwhelming magic, Viktor was perfectly protected.

Suddenly, massive waves surged from the ocean, swallowing the monsters birthed from the giant flower buds.

The magic continued pouring from Viktor's body, like a massive floodgate, raising the sea level higher and higher.

Magic engulfed the entire Yade Divine Tree, even erupting from its intricate branches.

It was as if a real ocean was invading the Divine Tree from within, spilling outward.

Blue magic surged from the tree's hollows, crashing to the ground and entwining the Divine Tree.

The terrifying magic spread across a 30-mile radius, drowning everything.

Beneath the Divine Tree, Vinia and Cocotte clearly sensed something, simultaneously looking up.

Vinia's expression turned solemn.

She watched as the blue magic ocean crashed down from the sky, creating waves over 30 feet high before gradually dissipating.

Seeing this, Vinia took a few steps back, her grip on her staff trembling with unease.

"The Divine Tree... Why is this happening? What on earth is going on?"

Cocotte, however, squinted her eyes, seemingly enjoying the overwhelming magic.

"My, my, no matter when, this feeling never changes."

"This magic... it's so powerful it doesn't even feel like it belongs to a mage."

Vinia abruptly turned to Cocotte, shouting:

"Cocotte, tell me, what does Kravina mean?"

She was still fixated on the issue of Leon's surname.

The Yade Divine Tree had never bestowed the surname 'Kravina' upon any elf.

No elf bore the surname 'Kravina.'

Now, staring at Cocotte, who clearly knew something, Vinia felt a deep sense of foreboding.

The Divine Tree's anomaly might be connected to Kravina.

Hearing Vinia's question, Cocotte crossed her arms and turned away:

"Kravina? Vinia, sometimes I really think you should visit the human world."

"If you went to the human world, you'd understand a lot more."

Vinia didn't believe Cocotte's words. Clutching her staff, she spoke with arrogance:

"I am the most esteemed High Priestess of the Elves. Everything I have comes from the Yade Divine Tree. How could I, like you, forget the nurturing of the Divine Tree and flee from the Elven Forest?"

Cocotte glanced at her helplessly and sighed.

"I've never acknowledged that the Divine Tree nurtured me."

"Enough talk, Cocotte. Tell me, what does Kravina represent!?"

Cocotte listened to her outburst and smiled faintly.

"Kravina represents a family."

"And its head is my boss."

Cocotte cast a pitying glance at Vinia, as if reminiscing, her tone calm and indifferent.

"A bastard of a mage who would never turn his back on his family or subordinates."
