Following the panicked gazes of the desert people, a huge vortex could be seen forming in the sky just a few kilometers away from Ghost Town, stirring up countless yellow sands from below, forming a sandstorm.

With each rotation of the vortex, more and more yellow sand was sucked up and entrained, and what might have been a small tornado a dozen meters wide one moment could become a large sandstorm vortex several dozen meters wide the next, still expanding.

This scene of world-destroying devastation was no less impressive than the previous arrival of the Chimera, and perhaps even more so.

This made many of the desert people of Ghost Town completely despair, no longer harboring any dream, and some even began to repent because of it.

"The last time a hurricane-level dust storm appeared was hundreds of years ago, this... this is divine punishment, divine punishment..."

"His... His wrath has descended, the Syndicate is over, He will devour the oasis, take back all blessings, retribution, it's all retribution."

"From the moment those outsiders trampled on the sand sea and wantonly polluted the oasis, everything was destined..."

On the back of the Chimera, Reji also looked into the distance at the hurricane sandstorm that was growing larger and larger, getting closer and closer to them.

Even the Chimera now seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, its three heads shaking uneasily.

So that's how it is, the source of the shrinking oases in the Syndicate is the frequent sandstorms?

From the sandstorm, Reji could indeed sense a hint of unusual power, which was definitely not an ordinary natural phenomenon. Natural phenomena alone could never reach this level.

If Reji had to describe the mysterious power in the sandstorm, it might be similar to what he felt when his consciousness entered the "Fate Track" to activate Star Sculpt, the power of the chaotic outer universe world belonging to the "Fate Track", or perhaps belonging to "His" world?

In fact, Vielsia should have noticed it as soon as the sandstorm started.

This should also be why she suddenly made the Chimra stop and descend, switching to the beast army to annihilate the Bloody Hand Gang.

Now that such a huge sandstorm had appeared, it seemed to be due to the Chimera's breath, either because its magic fluctuations had triggered some reaction in the sand sea, or because of some other quality of the Chimera?

The hurricane sandstorm had already taken shape and could not be stopped, and of course, they had no problem moving now. With the Chimera's flying speed, even ten sandstorms couldn't catch up, but the Ghost Town oasis below couldn't move. If they wanted to protect these residents as well...

Reji thought for a moment. If he had any of the other apostles by his side, it seemed that there really wasn't a good solution. Only the Sorcerer Demon might be able to temporarily construct a large-scale teleportation array, but whether the villagers could withstand it was still an unknown.

This also reflected that the demon race was indeed somewhat extreme, with all their power points invested in "offense", and quite weak in "deffense".

If there had been a guardian-type apostle, the Demon King in the first Playthrough should not have been so easily killed by him.

So, in the second Playthrough...

"Teacher, take everyone to the town first."

"Do you not need me to assist with anything?"

Faced with Reji's concern, Vielsia smiled. She stared at the distant sandstorm as she gradually floated into the air, leaving only her back and a confident tone to Reji.

"The forest is the most feared natural enemy of sand and dust."

A verdant green glow flickered on Vielsia's body, and the rich vitality condensed in her hands. Having absorbed the apostle's core and accepted this power, Vielsia was no longer the little fourth-tier princess she once was.

When she used the Flower Sword to slay the Wicked Demon, she even surpassed herself and comprehended her own powerful domain skill—Flower's Poem.

Reji, who had Vielsia's panel, knew about her domain too.

Vielsia's domain skill could be said to be unique among all the other apostles, as it was the only one focused on protection and restoration.

(Welcome to my wooooooooorld~.....)

The singing voice in the Elven language echoed from the sky, not just a sound, but more like conveying to the soul, making people feel as if their whole body was rejuvenated, bathed in the fresh air of nature, surrounded by the fragrant and sweet scent of flowers.

And in the reality of Ghost Town, this small oasis in the desert, not only the humans but also the plants heard Vielsia's song, and they began to move, growing wildly.

Even the desert could not stop the spread of plants. Sprouts turned into tender branches, tender branches grew into saplings, and finally formed one sturdy towering tree after another.

Thick vines entwined the trees, and then the treetops continued to rise into the sky. In no time, the entire oasis of Ghost Town was enveloped and shrouded by the forest, and those crisscrossing vines entangled in the air, not only connecting the forest as a whole but also forming an oval-shaped natural barrier that completely enclosed the entire oasis town.

And the many desert people inside were all dumbfounded by this scene. Vegetation was an extremely scarce resource for the desert and oases. They might not have seen much vegetation in their entire lives, let alone being in a sky-blocking, sun-shielding large forest canopy like now.

The townspeople, who had originally thought they were doomed and had despaired at the sandstorm, now regained some confidence and waited nervously for the arrival of the sandstorm, praying that the forest canopy could hold out for a while longer.

But they closed their eyes and prayed, prayed for a long time, and there was no movement. When they opened their eyes in confusion, they found that their oasis had been restored to its original appearance, and those crazy large patches of vegetation had also disappeared.

The night sky under the surrounding sand sea was peaceful and tranquil.

It seemed that there were some grains of sand that had been blocked by the forest after the sandstorm swept through, and some stragglers had accumulated on the eaves and roofs, which was the only evidence of the sandstorm's passage.

Just... just like that, it's over?

When Vielsia, who had retracted her domain, came down again, before she could return to Reji's side, she was startled. It turned out that those desert people had spontaneously begun to regard her as the Daughter of the Desert and started to kneel and bow to Vielsia, calling it a miracle.
