Chapter 1088 Faux pas
The entire attack lasted less than ten seconds. The Tree of Heaven had been planning this assault for weeks, and prepared thoroughly for it. The mass of wood that Anita pulled out from the ground weighed hundreds of tonnes, and was more than strong enough to destroy entire nations.
In fact, it had actually destroyed countless nations over the course of its many years with much fewer preparations. It couldn't be helped, since the Midnight Inn had countless members who were at the Nascent realm, or at least pretended to be.
But it did not believe they were as strong as they were portraying. Even among Nascent soul cultivators, there were levels, and the Tree had never found an equal in its entire age. It was unparalleled. It was the master of heaven and earth. It was the savior and executioner of races. For his arrogance, the Innkeeper would pay.
It was with that mindset it began to make extensive preparations, even going as far as tolerating disrespect and biding its time. Everything was set. The accursed residents of the Inn were to meet their fate. The Tree had willed it so.
So then, why was everything going wrong? The Tree of Heaven was the first living being, the most ancient, the most powerful. So then why... why was the two legged she-abomination so easily able to yank out its entire clone body, and play with it like a toy? Did she not know her blasphemy by acting against it? It was her duty to lower her gaze and revel in the knowledge that the Tree had decided to kill it!
The Tree's thoughts stopped there, for when Anita's soul flames tortured him it had no energy to spare for any more thoughts. Instantly it wanted to sever the connection it had to this clone, for the pain of the soul could be felt by its entire being. Yet it was all for naught, as it had lost all?control over its clone, including the piece of its soul inside of it.
For the first time in its existence, the Tree of Heaven knew true, unyielding pain. While its clone was twisted and squeezed into a ball, completely outside the control of itself, its real body was free to writhe in agony, and it did.
"Lady Anita, the Midnight realm is a newborn realm. It cannot take your power. Please retract it, and keep it contained within the bounds of the Midnight Inn."
Anita blushed, and suddenly withdrew her powers. The darkness withdrew from the realm, and Lex received the familiar ting of a notification informing him he had completed his quest.
"Excuse me, I might have lost control for a bit," she said as she covered her face with her hands. She had committed a faux pas.
"It's okay, no harm done," Lex said, then turned his gaze towards the ball of wood in her hands. "If you're able, can you also question all your prisoners about who was involved in this attack. I'll take some time to examine the Inn, but once that's done, I should really go and see to it that everyone who escaped your just retribution is unable to escape punishment."
Anita, who was blushing one moment, suddenly remembered what caused this whole incident, and her gaze turned cold.
"I'll have a whole list ready. In fact, do you mind if I come with you? The seriousness of this travesty cannot go unanswered! I must deal with them personally!"
Lex raised an eyebrow, and then looked back at the Inn. He wasn't sure if she was talking about the damage to the Inn anymore. He'd never seen her get so riled up over an attack on the Inn. But, whatever the case, her timely intervention had prevented more damage, so he wasn't going to complain.
"Sure, you can come. In fact, I'll bring a few others as well. But just remember tokeep your powers in check. This is still just a new realm. It cannot sustain your power yet."
