My Descendants Are My Power

All eyes were fixed on the border between Cedar County and Sunshine Mansion.

A dark shape appeared on the horizon, growing larger with each passing moment.

Luna could sense the Druids within Cedar County stirring, their alarm growing as they dispatched troops to intercept the approaching force.

A distant explosion boomed across the landscape, sending tremors through the air and disrupting the flow of natural energies.

The Forebearer Psychic Position emerged from the Blackwood descendants' chests, glowing with an ethereal light. It hovered above the snow-capped mountain, forming a giant character – "B" – the symbol of their lineage, their strength. Their power surged, their psychic powers intensified, their control over natural energies amplified.

[You have used Family Willpower.]

[Skill activated – Family Glory!]

[Attack!]

The Forebearer's inscription blazed above them, a beacon of power and defiance. With a roar, the Blackwood descendants charged down the mountainside, their eyes burning with righteous fury.

"Children, the Forebearer watches over us! Take up your Psychic Positions! Charge!!!"

Luna, her six tails swirling behind her, led the charge, her voice a clarion call that echoed across the battlefield.

Julian, his necklace of Storage Rings shimmering with power, followed close behind. His army of AI Bionic Robots, their eyes glowing with malevolent intent, shot forward like a volley of arrows. Julian himself transformed mid-air, his silver limbs melting into a liquid metal that enveloped his body, growing larger and larger until it towered over the battlefield, a hundred meters tall.

"AI Bionic Robot legion, charge!"

The AI Bionic Robots followed their creator's lead, their forms shifting and expanding, their metallic bodies bristling with weapons. They became mountains of steel and fury, crashing down upon the unsuspecting Druids.

"Holy... that madman's AI Bionic Robot techniques have become terrifying," Ralph muttered, watching the metallic rain descend. The Ghost Eye Demonic Gate, masters of unorthodox techniques, were no strangers to AI Bionic Robot arts. He had fought alongside Julian in the past, back when those robots were mere puppets, incapable of flight or independent thought.

Now... this army of psychic-powered AI Bionic Robots was a nightmare come to life.

Then came Mary and Larry.

One, inheriting the will of Boar Monarch Pete, the other, the queen of the Swamp Jungle, they stood atop Julian's colossal mech, their forms dwarfed by the towering machine. As the ironclad behemoth crashed through the Druid lines, a wave of monstrous beasts followed in its wake.

Psychic beasts, summoned from the depths of Mary and Larry's minds, materialized around the AI Bionic Robot, their numbers growing with each passing moment.

And then came the Primordial Blood Tree.

Its vines snaked across the battlefield, cracking the earth, summoning an army of tree demons and Stone beasts.

They were an unstoppable force.

If only Nathan were here, Ethan thought, his Death Coffin would unleash a tide of Zombies and wraiths, turning the battlefield into a nightmare realm. But the Ghost Eye Demonic Gate had their own tricks up their sleeves. They unleashed their forbidden technique, the "Underworld Gate," summoning a horde of vengeful spirits from the depths of darkness.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Cloudview County's forces had transformed into an unstoppable torrent of destruction.

They swept through the border between Cedar County and the Endless Forest, flames engulfing the Druid rearguard.

The plan they had devised for Starlight County was unfolding in Cedar County instead!

...

"Elder Danny, the Azure Cloud army, led by Jessica, engaged the Druids in Starlight County. And then... they retreated with the rest of Cloudview County's forces!"

"Terrible news, Elder Danny! Bryce of Cedar County has somehow returned to his homeland! He's attacking from Sunshine Mansion!"

"And Cloudview County... their forces have appeared in Cedar County! They've caught the Druids completely off guard!"

One after another, the reports reached Danny, each one a hammer blow to his carefully constructed plans.

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Danny couldn't comprehend it. Sunshine Mansion had been on high alert ever since Starlight County had joined forces with Azure Cloud.

How had Bryce managed to return to Cedar County?

And why was everything going wrong? Blackwood hadn't even attempted to hold Starlight County. Jessica's Azure Cloud army had played right into his hands, lulling the Druids into a false sense of security.

He felt like a puppet, his every move orchestrated by an unseen hand.

"Danny..."

Kyle's face was a mask of fury. He strode towards Danny, his eyes blazing with anger. With a swift motion, he snatched Danny's Storage Ring. "You Roberts are all incompetent fools! You've been played!"

"No... it can't be..."

Danny shook his head, his mind reeling. Then, his eyes widened in horror as he turned to Victor. The young man was smiling, a cruel, knowing smile.

His mind felt like it was about to explode. He couldn't understand. What had happened?

Kyle glanced at Neil, who remained seated, her expression unreadable. He shook his head, a sigh escaping his lips. He turned and left, his retinue following close behind. At least he had Danny's Storage Ring. He wouldn't leave empty-handed.

As he flew away, he glanced back at the unfolding battle in Cedar County, his eyes narrowed. "Blackwood... you're more cunning than I anticipated. I'll be watching you. Sunshine Mansion has no place for a family like yours."

Once Kyle was gone, Danny unleashed his psychic power, his injured body trembling with rage. He glared at Victor, his voice a venomous hiss. "It was you! You betrayed me! You revealed my plans to Blackwood!"

But Victor showed no fear. He laughed, his voice mocking. "You're slow, old man. Five years ago, you almost got me killed when you confronted that Blackwood demon. Do you really think you survived by chance?"

"What..."

Danny stared at him, his mind reeling.

"Do you really think you were allowed to visit Blackwood so many times without their knowledge?" Victor continued, his voice dripping with disdain. "Do you really think you stumbled upon their plans by accident? It was all a show, a performance for your benefit."

"Blackwood tolerated you for years. Why humiliate you now, break you so publicly? To fuel your rage, of course!"

"The Crimson War God... she lives up to her name. And that Azure Cloud overlord... he's a master strategist. They were right. Anger makes fools of us all.

And sometimes, your enemy can be your most useful tool."

"Blackwood laid the bait, exposed their vulnerabilities, and you, blinded by rage, walked right into their trap!"

A trap... a trap...

It all made sense now. From the moment he had set foot in Cloudview County, he had been playing Blackwood's game.

"I'll kill you!"

He lunged at Victor, his psychic energy blazing. He didn't care why Victor had betrayed him. All he wanted was revenge.

But Victor just laughed.

A spectral Kirin, summoned by Danny's fury, charged towards Victor, only to be intercepted by a wave of psychic energy. It dissipated into nothingness.

The force of the blast revealed a small, unassuming object hanging from Victor's belt: a miniature scale.

Danny stared in disbelief. It was... Neil's symbol!

"You... you're with Blackwood too?!"

Danny's face was ashen. He was surrounded by enemies. The rogue cultivator on the road, his own family member...

Who else was working for Blackwood?
