The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 409: So Tired, I Want to Go on Strike

"Where am I?"
Consciousness seemed to retreat into nothingness. Cocotte's limbs felt ethereally light, and her body became extremely soft.
Yet somehow heavy and immobile.
She struggled to open her eyes, wanting to see her surroundings clearly,
But in this space, there was nothing but darkness, and the silence around her was terrifying.
Any tiny sound here seemed abnormally amplified.
This place seemed like an ideal spot for sleeping.
She had some recollection now.
It was half a month ago.
Cocotte remembered clearly that Henie had come to find her on her own initiative.
She had rarely awakened from her deep slumber.
At that time, Henie had brought back a chubby little white dog from somewhere. The tiny creature was at most the size of a palm.
It was so lazy.
When Cocotte saw it, it was already sound asleep in Henie's warm palm.
With deep breaths, its slightly plump body gently rose and fell, looking very peaceful.
Cocotte examined this sleepy little dog and found it amusing.
Was there really a creature in this world lazier than her?
However, when Cocotte raised her head to greet Henie, the little white dog opened its closed eyes.
It gave a deep-throated yawn, lazily rubbed its post-sleep eyes with its paw, and cast a fleeting glance at Cocotte.
More precisely, it was staring at the cloud beneath her.
The unfathomable gaze of the little white dog made Cocotte vaguely feel that such deep and desire-filled eyes were certainly not those of a simple dog.
Of course, her intuition was correct.
When her gaze met the dog's, Cocotte felt her drowsiness surge back like a tide.
With her remaining clarity, she wanted to ask Henie about the origins of this little white dog, but she saw surprise in Henie's eyes.
"Senior Cocotte, you really can see it."
Cocotte was surprised and was about to inquire further.
Suddenly, she felt an ominous abnormality.
The surrounding space seemed to be magnified to an incomparable stillness, with only Cocotte awake to survey her surroundings.
She clearly saw that Henie's body had become rigid like a statue.
And the little white dog's mouth opened and closed, saying:
"Let's make a deal."
Cocotte's mouth fell open, and her eyes widened in surprise.
She hadn't expected a little dog to be able to speak human language.
"I can know your... um... desires. I clearly know what you want."
Its voice carried a lazy drawl, moving so slowly that it seemed like it could fall asleep at any moment.
Its eyes were also hazy, often losing focus, and it was prone to dozing off mid-sentence.
It would suddenly wake up and then continue where it left off.
Its voice seemed to carry some magic, and Cocotte easily believed it.
Cocotte looked at the little dog in surprise, examining the little creature with confusion, and raising an eyebrow, she asked:
"Then, can you give me a better sleeping environment than this?"
"A place where I'll never be disturbed."
The dog nodded and swayed its head as it said a sentence, then closed its eyes again.
"Yes."
After that, Cocotte was quickly overwhelmed by an irresistible drowsiness.
Since then, she had never woken up.
......
To be honest, becoming a plant in the garden was an experience far superior to any sleep.
Without the burden of consciousness, there was no need to think.
And that phrase would no longer constantly appear in her mind:
'Return to Nature'
Besides, she had now returned to nature, hadn't she?
That voice should no longer constantly ring in her ears.
But what was happening now?
Cocotte felt her consciousness slowly returning to her body, but it didn't seem like it was time to wake up yet.
Her body seemed to be surrounded by a layer of warm water.
The world around her seemed to welcome a dazzling light, illuminating everything before her eyes.
Above was an endless blue sky, and around her was emptiness.
Beneath her feet was a quiet and crystal-clear water surface. Cocotte hadn't even noticed that she was being embraced by this tranquil water.
She opened her eyes and suddenly sat up from the pool, taking a deep breath of fresh air.
After a brief rest, she raised her head and looked at the clear, transparent sky, unadorned by a single cloud.
Suddenly, within Cocotte's field of vision,
An elf walked past her.
Cocotte was puzzled because the elf didn't seem to notice her presence.
Just as she reached out her hand to greet her fellow kin, the elf before her gradually became transparent and then dispersed.
Her body, in this instant, turned into a small sapling.
Her feet transformed into intertwined roots, extending into the clear water, taking root on this tranquil lake surface.
This sight made Cocotte's body instantly stiffen.
Then, more elves emerged from the edges of her vision.
They played and frolicked, and whenever they came before Cocotte or beside her,
These elven kin would one by one transform into points of light, returning to the embrace of nature.
And where they disappeared from the ground, lush green trees would grow.
More and more elves surged toward Cocotte like a flowing tide,
Yet without exception, they all transformed into light, dispersed, and returned at the moment they approached her.
A sudden thunderclap startled the dazed Cocotte.
Frenzied thunder and lightning rolled across the sky, and a massive downpour followed.
Cocotte felt the falling large raindrops and looked at the vast water surface drenched by the heavy rain, where everything grew wildly, materializing into a lush forest.
The arrogant thunder and lightning seemed like two enraged celestial beasts roaring in the sky. Cocotte gazed at this scene of dancing lightning and felt a chill.
Her feet stood on the water surface, which had begun to ripple, deep in thought.
The elves who had transformed into light rose into the sky, converging to form a warm sun.
Although the forest arose out of nowhere, there was notably no soil on the ground.
It was as if this world was missing some element.
The forest above the blue water surface made everything seem so magical.
Cocotte just stared blankly.
The originally empty surroundings had instantly become a dense forest.
And this forest was entirely formed by the energy of those dispersed elves.
Their bodies brought vitality, and their consciousness reintegrated with nature.
"Return to Nature?"
At this moment, Cocotte seemed to understand what returning to nature truly meant.
Standing in the midst of the forest, she too began to change.
Her feet hardened into sturdy roots, extending into the ground beneath the towering lake surface.
Her body also gradually became harder, transforming into a robust and majestic tree.
The hair on her head spread out, turning into dense branches swaying in the rising breeze.
Her hair scattered in all directions, becoming dense branches, swaying in the breeze, breaking the original silence.
On the beautiful branches, fresh green buds quickly grew, nurturing vibrant green leaves that danced in the wind.
This lofty divine tree was surrounded by the jungle, its thick trunk standing in the tranquil lake,
Under the lightning-flashing sky, receiving the warm caress of the sun.
Cocotte finally fully integrated into this nature, becoming a great divine tree.
She felt her feet deeply rooted in the cold pool, and the voice in her mind finally stopped bothering her.
Now, she could finally have a good sleep, right?
But even so, she still couldn't rest.
Elves drifted from all directions, each holding a bowl woven from green leaves, filled with crystal-clear spring water.
They bowed at the feet of the divine tree, devoutly offering their heartfelt dew to the tree.
With each drop of dew, an elf would bloom between the proudly towering tree crowns.
Day after day, year after year.
Old elves died, and new elves appeared.
So tired, I want to go on strike.
"......"
The elves prayed every day, their prayers echoing endlessly in the depths of Cocotte's heart.
Today, what did they need?
It turned out they needed a vast piece of land to build houses,
But even my own roots couldn't touch the soil,
How could I provide you with soil to build your homes?
Cocotte fell into fatigue again.
So tired, I want to go on strike.
"......"
In Cocotte's consciousness, the elves changed batch after batch.
Those elves who had once come to revere the divine tree had all returned to dust, becoming trees in the forest.
And the new elves now rarely prayed to the divine tree.
The elves had enjoyed self-sufficient lives and gradually became independent.
But the situation wasn't that simple.
Just like those clichéd stories that usually appear.
The more peaceful and serene the world, the more likely something would emerge to disturb that serenity.
The sky changed from light to dark, and storms raged around the forest.
Chaotic energy surged from the depths of the earth, polluting the rippling lake surface, attempting to cover the sky and descend upon the head of each elf.
The elves looked up in panic.
These elves, who had never experienced disaster, had no idea how to handle such a situation.
They had never encountered such danger before.
But now, crisis was imminent.
Roar—
A white giant dragon with flowing dark purple waves and dark black wings emerged from the dim sky.
That deep oppression was like the madness that pulled all chaos from the depths of the world.
The flowing dark purple scales emitted waves of sound, making the elves feel chills down their spines.
The danger came in just a moment, and these elves began to pray to the divine tree again.
"Supreme divine tree, please, resolve this crisis for us."
"Divine tree, please help us reclaim our homeland."
"Divine tree...."
Hearing the heavy prayers like incantations, Cocotte, who had transformed into the divine tree, slowly awakened.
She swayed her towering branches that reached the clouds, gazing at the outside world where the elves were.
Honestly, she didn't know how long she had been asleep.
She didn't even know if her consciousness was still within her.
She was just a bit surprised when she heard the elves' prayers.
Did the elves need her again?
But she was just a tree, what could she do?
So tired, I want to go on strike.
