"Is there nothing I can do?"

    Unknowingly his voice began to soften as he spoke to her.

    {Currently, I don''t think there is something that can save me}

    "Jeremiah scan her"

    [Already did and I have the results here]

    Then a set of rectangular screens emerged in his view making him smile.

    "I think this doesn''t have to be a goodbye"

    {What do you mean?} her demeanour began to change while her reaction suddenly filled with curiosity.

    Apollo smiled wanting to reassure her then he finally said "I know what to do"

    {Really!}

    "Of course just trust me"

    The little girl just smiled while dancing across the golden field. Witnessing her regain vigor Apollo can''t help but smile.

    "Now give me your hand Elaria"

    {See you remember my name!} A soft giggle escapes from her lips making Apollo laugh as well.

    "It seems I remember you deep inside me"

    "So come here my dear celestial"

    Elaria smiled even more when she heard those words.

    {You remember the nickname you gave to me, I never knew you would call me Celestial again}

    Apollo remains smiling although he doesn''t know where all the names are coming from.

    [It wasn''t me]

    *Sigh* "I know, we should start"

    [Okay!]

    "Why does she act like a cute puppy" he can''t help but think as the golden lady gave the best smile she could give to him.

    "Now close your eyes"

    {I will!}

    Knowing how much trust he was given, Apollo didn''t want to make mistakes so he finally gave his command.

    "Jeremiah activate Disintegrate"

    [As you command]

    Inside his consciousness, the entire structure of the World tree has been laid out including the parts where the poison has been.

    "I must do it slow and steady" the boy thought as he used the skill Disintegrate to remove the poison that seeped deep within the cells of the tree. Carefully he had marked the targets through Jeremiah, and bit by bit they removed the deadly stain that plucked the World tree to near demise.

    From the tiniest spot to the biggest ones, from the roots to the tips of the branches. He removed every drop of poison that affected that area. Then he went to the insides of the tree, where he cleaned the vines and roots that supported the area.

    "Hoo....this might become a bit difficult"

    The last to be cleaned is the heart, the very place they are currently staying in.

    [It coming]

    "Yes I know I can strangely feel them"

    Apollo unknowingly pulls Elaria closer to him, as the claws of the poison finally arrive at their position.

    "DISINTERGRATE" He commanded and immediately the gnawing danger suddenly turned into dust.

    "There, the first step has been accomplished"

    He exclaimed while finally letting go of Elaria.

    {You really remove the poison!}

    "Yes but it is not enough, you might not know since you have weakened but some bad people did something to you in order to take your life and take your ability to connect to the world''s energy"

    Elaria went silent and it seemed she didn''t know how it happened.

    [We can only thank Sonya for this info, I never expected they were able to analyze the shards they got from the raids this fast]

    "Yes it was indeed good we got her message before entering here"

    {I never knew my situation was this bad}

    "Don''t worry I will handle that, but I need to return to my body first"

    {I see...}

    However, Elaria didn''t seem to desire to let go of Apollo''s hand.

    "I will return just as I have always been," he said then he smiled, with those Elaria finally released his hands.

    {Come back okay, don''t keep me waiting}

    "I will"

    .

    .

    .

    Apollo returned to where he was before he touched the stone. Behind him were the nine spirits whom he had a close relationship with.

    "Let''s do this Jeremiah"

    [I will do as you command my Creator]

    "Yes I know you will"

    The ground suddenly glowed while the sky outside began to react.

    "My first plan was to use this to save the World tree, although some unexpected things happened it is good that I can still use this"

    Right above the sky, is a magic circle only visible to Apollo. It was built by Jeremiah to make sure any death that will occur will make their essence flow towards Apollo. They have thought of this knowing bloodshed will happen. So feeling that those essences will be wasted Apollo made a task to Jeremiah to put the entire Eastern kingdoms under a spell.

    To be specific this magic circle is capable of expanding Jeremiah''s absorption area making all deaths beneficial to him.

    "Now use all our accumulated essence and start point to heal the tree"
