>>6129864Suddenly a cry goes up from the remaining little frog people, who begin turning back to the sea to escape you. But you're not letting them all off so easily, once more firing your Guided Eye Beams. Your energy cuts through the water with as much ease as the Hydae, you killing them to a man. Not letting a single one escape away into deeper waters, to warn the others. Let their scattered corpses out at sea be the warning to the others. However, now that that little skirmish is over, you wonder if the darkness receeded from the tree it'd hit. So, as you turn back to it, you reopen the comm channel.
“Threat eliminated, but keep the ship secure for a bit. Just in case.” you tell Orlen, flying back to the treeline. And, unfortunately, the Dark-infected tree is still infected, now the entire thing from ground to the base of the leaves are pitch black. So, with your telekinesis you lift the entire tree, tearing it free of the ground. Pulling it and its tainted roots clear from the ground, not risking it spreading to another tree as you take it out into the clearing. Holding it midair with telekinesis you then reach out to your son, Chilli, seeing if he knows what to do with it. “Hey, Chilli, I have a question for you kiddo.”
But only silence greets you. You don't feel him connecting to you, as you had expected. Perhaps he's asleep, calling it an early night, his time? Or maybe something worse is going on?
Well? What do you do now?”
>Toss the tree out into space, it'll either burn up on escape or be destroyed by the void before focusing your senses and Instant Transmission to him>Telepathically call out to his wife Megumin, and failing that your grandchildren. Something's wrong, and you're going to find out what>Telepathically tell Raven what happened and what you should do with this Abyss-tainted tree>Call Orlen back and get him to fetch you your Wolf Knight sword, you know it can destroy the Abyss on contact and should handle this>Other(write in)
