It is said that it shares the same core as the sniper cannon she currently uses, only the final implementation is different.
Although she couldn’t understand it, this didn’t stop her from exclaiming.
"It’s truly spectacular..."
While she was enjoying herself, the Beast King, the gorilla, witnessing the scenes in front of it, fell into a frenzy.
Flames ignited from its body, contrasting with the surrounding fire as if returning from hell.
Even the surrounding calamity transformed into its power, causing its combat power to skyrocket.
"Experiment issues arose; our power is being utilized by the target, proving difficult to suppress..."
The Sea Demon Witch frowned, issuing commands within the network.
That gorilla unexpectedly turned their power against them, indeed catching them off guard.
Originally, their mission was to utilize their strength to crush the opponent, testing the weapons in hand and possibly assimilating the opponent in the process.
But now the opponent has absorbed their power, the combat power reached is something they can’t absolutely crush with their power alone.
Forcing conversion might result in some casualties.
In the past, if someone died, they died; after all, resurrection was possible, and gaining a Tier Six hero unit was worth it.
To speak a bit pretentiously, they don’t exactly lack that Tier Six hero unit...
"If difficult to suppress, permission to kill outright!"
With that, she emerged first from the water, aiming the gigantic firearm at the target, preempting with a blast towards the giant ape amidst the sea of flames.
Lightning burst forth on the fiery body.
The other witch team members similarly leaped out from the lake, beginning to pour out magic with weapons they needed to test while gradually closing in on the giant ape.
To assimilate the opponent, they must get close to ensure the spores take effect!
On the other side, although the giant ape felt pain, it only fueled its rage further, making its flames more violent, immediately joining the battle with the approaching little ones.
Even with the terrain’s enhancement, the dozen witches in combination with new equipment were not falling behind, frequently using the flames to scorch this group, like mosquitoes, in its eyes.
Fortunately, the witches’ self-healing abilities are strong, relying on powerful recovery skills to avoid falling behind.
After all, if they want to assimilate, they certainly can’t deal fatal blows, but obviously, if they drag this out further, casualties will occur.
With the network for communication, they didn’t even need eye contact, deciding in the next moment.
Secretly adjusting, the firearm’s power was instantly maxed out.
If unwilling to become one of us, then make the ultimate sacrifice for us...
But just as everyone prepared to go all out to end it, an unexpected mutation happened.
Initially seated behind the giant ape, neither affected by the initial magical calamity nor the latter battle between gorilla and witches, always avoided and unharmed, only a background presence, the Tree King suddenly moved.
The giant willow tree’s thick branches actively swept into the battlefield, wrapping around the giant ape at lightning speed despite the fire’s burn, the soft branches piercing deep into its blood and flesh.
Before anyone could react, it seized control of the giant ape.
This giant tree, which had accompanied the giant ape for decades, "betrayed" it at this moment!
The sudden change made the giant ape forget to fight back, its initial anger seemed to dissipate significantly with the drained blood and flesh, leaving only sheer desolation.
The giant ape struggled to turn its head, looking at the familiar giant willow.
It never imagined this willow, closer than a child, would betray it at such a crucial moment, dragging it into the abyss.
"I’m just saving you, if you keep fighting, you’ll die..."
The message came from the willow branches, and the price for the message was more and more branches rooted in its body, binding it tightly to the ground.
Even though the flames on the giant ape constantly seared the willow branches, their action remained steadfast.
"You’re not going to defeat them, if you continue to resist, they’ll kill you..."
"Only this way can you retain your final opportunity, only then might you become one of Them..."
The message from the willow branches was fragmented, but how could the giant ape not understand its meaning?
Feeling the willow branches writhing, trying to take away its last bit of strength, the giant ape felt helpless.
It knew the giant willow did it for its sake, but the giant willow didn’t realize it was merely a Tier Five mutant plant; if it hadn’t chosen not to resist, how could it be so easily controlled when it’s Tier Six, with powers extremely resistant to control?
Even though the giant willow was Tier Five, its mind was still pure, it never doubted the authenticity of the giant willow’s words.
It had long prepared to face death, it didn’t resist, it just wanted to know the truth...
But now, these things were no longer important.
From the moment the giant willow struck, it had no choice left.
The witches in the air watched this scene cautiously, saying nothing, quietly continuing the original assimilation process.
They knew the giant willow had already become one of their own during the fungus blanket’s expansion but considering its relationship with the giant ape, they hadn’t let it strike.
But now... this could be considered a good outcome...
"Report, the mission is complete, waiting for the target conversion, beginning experiment parameter upload..."
