The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 407: Others Fight Bosses, I Create One
Viktor walked through the rear courtyard of the mansion, carrying Cocotte in his arms.
The once vast grassland that stretched as far as the eye could see—with only lush grass and a solitary towering tree bathing in sunlight—had transformed dramatically.
Now, this grassland was dotted with houses of various shapes and designs.
Twisted wooden towers, bird-shaped wooden houses...
The designs were entirely up to the elves themselves. They could build whatever pleased them on this grassland.
A wooden house featured a wide protruding corner where several elves lay on the roof, praying toward the distant Divine Tree that stretched straight into the clouds.
The elves lived freely on the grassland—chatting, playing, sleeping...
Here, they enjoyed the same freedom they would have in the Elven Forest.
The elves had settled here for a short while now.
Every elf residing here was an employee of the Kravina family.
Viktor did not disturb the elves' daily lives. He quietly passed through the oddly-shaped buildings, walking toward the Yade Divine Tree.
The morning sunlight filtered through the incredibly lush branches and leaves, sparsely falling onto Viktor's black coat.
Deep luster flowed between the folds of his coat, and half of Viktor's face was similarly covered by the scattered sunlight.
Cocotte, cradled in his arms, slept soundly in this light.
Viktor looked up and saw that the towering Yade Divine Tree had grown several times more robust than before.
But it was still far from matching its appearance in the Elven Forest.
After all, there it had been nourished by the entire elven race.
The patterns on the wide trunk were crooked, and the deep brown bark was slightly stretched open.
The intertwined roots extended into the soil, turning up layers of earth.
It stood as if on a small hill, independent and sacred.
Viktor approached the Divine Tree carrying Cocotte, and a flash of emerald natural magic passed through his eyes.
The next moment, the surrounding air began to vibrate rhythmically.
The source of all this was the trembling of the Divine Tree.
The movement of the Divine Tree caused all the elves to stop their work and play, turning their gaze toward the trembling tree.
Dark bark peeled off from the trunk, but instead of falling, it hung in the air, spinning around a gap in the Divine Tree.
A flowing emerald light emanated from the center of the gap. Viktor, carrying Cocotte, rose toward the center of the Divine Tree, gradually merging into the flowing green light.
Hum—
A deep echo sounded around the Divine Tree, and the elves stared blankly at the place where Viktor had disappeared.
The brown bark in the air began to flow and echo, gathering back to the gap in the Divine Tree.
The surrounding air gradually calmed down, returning to its usual tranquility.
When the elves came to their senses, they only saw the towering branches of the Yade Divine Tree swaying gently in the rising breeze.
The dense branches rustled with a soothing sound.
Everything returned to silence.
......
After passing through an emerald passage, Viktor found himself surrounded by walls of intertwined vines.
At the center of the Divine Tree, there was a ball of natural magic that trembled slightly like it was breathing.
That was the heart of the Yade Divine Tree.
After the heart pulsed for a while, it sensed an approaching presence.
In this enclosed space, dark, low clouds suddenly formed high above.
Lightning flashed from the friction of the clouds, and the atmosphere in the space began to grow heavy.
A damp scent entered Viktor's nostrils, and his eyes reflected the flashing lightning.
More importantly, a huge dragon covered in white scales revealed its form.
Viktor looked at the heart that had transformed into a dragon and nodded slightly:
"It seems you've been doing well lately."
As he spoke, Viktor flipped his palm, and a dark, misty spherical object appeared in his hand.
[Chaos Dragon King's Gene: A mysterious gene containing the power of ancient dragons, perhaps able to combine with ancient dragons.]
Vega, who had been perched on his shoulder, looked at the flowing spherical object in Viktor's hand. Perhaps remembering what had happened last time, it couldn't help but complain:
"Are you planning to turn this guy into a monster?"
Viktor looked at the Chaos Dragon King's gene in his hand and slowly said:
"It's just an experiment. Maybe it can wake Cocotte up."
Viktor raised his arm, releasing the dark sphere from his palm.
The gene gradually rose into the air, sank into the dark mist, and disappeared.
The Storm Dragon King swallowed the dark sphere, and the next second, its abdomen flashed with dark purple starlight.
The body covered in pale scales began to tremble, each scale vibrating at an extremely fast rate like ice crystals colliding.
Dark purple energy spread from the abdomen, invading the Storm Dragon King's huge body.
In the blink of an eye, waves of dark colors flowed over the dragon's pale body.
The ice crystal scales that were infected by the waves temporarily turned dark purple.
They collided with each other, emitting subtle, low infrasonic waves that echoed rapidly in this enclosed space.
Two pairs of dark wings suddenly grew from the massive serpentine body, with clear veins flowing with darkness.
The mane at the junction of the dragon's head and body still flashed with lightning.
Sharp horns also grew from the dragon's head, curving into the sky like a dark crescent moon.
At this point, the Storm Dragon King had completely transformed.
[Lord of Chaos Storm]
The crow crouching on Viktor's shoulder opened its beak wide, and its single black eye bulged.
The dragon's body, flowing with waves of dark purple, was reflected in its eye, leaving Vega utterly shocked.
Viktor seemed to have really raised a monster?
And this monster looked quite extraordinary.
"Viktor, you created a dragon!?"
Vega certainly knew where the dark purple Chaos Dragon King gene came from.
It was from a monster that Viktor had casually dealt with while crafting his staff.
Vega looked at the chaotic lightning dragon, and even the surrounding air had changed somewhat.
The air became more oppressive, violent, and carried chaotic energy.
Even the Chaos Dragon King in the Dark Void back then didn't have such a sharp aura.
After all, the two dragons born from pure energy could only survive in environments rich in natural magic.
They themselves were not dragons, but collections of energy.
The Storm Dragon King's energy was irregular reorganization and division, allowing it to reconstruct itself even after fatal injuries.
Achieving the effect of 'resurrection'.
The Chaos Dragon King's energy was chaotic inclusion—it could absorb any energy and turn it into chaos.
This was why the Chaos Dragon King could continuously strengthen itself using the unstable energy on that floating island.
But they both needed energy to exert their characteristics.
The Yade Divine Tree itself was a reservoir of natural energy, its energy abundant.
So when their preserved genes combined with the physical heart of the Yade Divine Tree,
Those loose, sparse natural energies found a bridge to condense in the world and gained a physical entity.
Simply put, the dragon before them was not much different from a real dragon.
At this point, Viktor stepped forward and gently placed Cocotte into the crystal-clear blue pool naturally formed by the Divine Tree.
Cocotte's fair body gently sank to the bottom of the pool.
The blue light emanating from her body seemed to add a mysterious luster to her delicate profile.
The water surface rippled gently, her hair spread out on the surface, her eyelids remaining still.
Viktor crossed her arms over her chest, gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, then stepped back.
"Do you know, Vega?"
"What?"
Hearing Viktor's voice, Vega was slightly startled.
Then, it heard Viktor say calmly:
"The Divine Tree needs an Elven Queen, and likewise, the Elven Queen needs the Divine Tree."
Vega frowned slightly. Viktor's words confused it.
If the Elven Queen also needed the Divine Tree, then why did Cocotte refuse to return to the Elven Forest before?
And why did Viktor burn down the Yade Divine Tree?
"Because Cocotte is a 'conscious' Elven Queen."
A 'living' Elven Queen naturally wouldn't want to stay in the Divine Tree all the time.
And the Yade Divine Tree hoped the Elven Queen would always stay within it, preferably in eternal sleep.
Until her life came to an end, dying within the Divine Tree, her consciousness returning to nature.
Vega keenly noticed Viktor's choice of words.
"A conscious queen? What does that mean?"
"Can a queen be without consciousness?"
It seemed to sense something extraordinary.
Because now, Cocotte had entered a state without consciousness.
At the same time, Viktor extended his hand again.
From behind his coat, emerald stripes climbed up, along his back, and around his palm.
The lush greenery transformed into branches, penetrating the water, wrapping around Cocotte's body.
Simultaneously, rich natural energy flowed through the branches into the water.
In that instant, Vega's gaze was fixed on Cocotte.
More precisely, it was focused on the ripples of light emanating from her.
Under Viktor's heavy infusion of energy, her body seemed to gradually disperse.
Transforming into waves, merging with the pool, slowly flowing into the interior of the Yade Divine Tree.
Watching the strange movement before him, Vega looked at the scene with interest:
"I see."
"Who created these magical creatures known as elves?"
Everything around seemed to respond to Vega.
From the gaps between the vine walls inside the Divine Tree, blue and clear ripples flowed.
That color was exactly the same as Cocotte's.
In that moment, the entire interior of the Divine Tree seemed to come alive.
Blue natural magic flowed abundantly, and even the vines moved slightly.
The rows of unconscious puppets in the sky also opened their eyes.
Light burst from their eyes, and mysterious natural energy flowed over their bodies.
The dragon floating in the sky was also affected, with blue magic flowing between its scales.
A tremendous power erupted from its roar, reverberating between the vines.
At the same time, Viktor's voice gradually sounded in Vega's ear:
"The Yade Divine Tree is formed from each generation of dead queens."
Viktor looked at Cocotte, who lay in the pool with a peaceful sleeping face.
He gave the final answer:
"This behavior is called—"
"[Return to Nature]"
