World Tree Gaius faced the attack of the coalition forces, and his performance was far calmer than someone imagined. ...Or, give up treatment?
It's not that He didn't try to help the demons resist, it's just that the demons in the civil strife didn't have the fine tradition of 'facing foreign enemies and acting unanimously'. To them, it's just one more group of enemies. You have to fight when you should, you still have to kill when you should kill. Individuals working independently are no match for the elves as a whole.
Coupled with the suppression of power by countless other World Tree clones, the auxiliary effects of geographical advantages and blessings brought by Gaius and other World Trees can be said to cancel each other out. What the two sides are competing against is the most basic individual combat ability and the commander's commanding ability. However, the latter, for someone and World Tree, was like cheating, which also caused the demons to be defeated like a mountain.
As for the creatures of the abyss, there are no prisoners in Lost Land. If the opponent doesn't take action, that's fine; if he does, he'll be beaten to death. As the number of wood elf coalition forces entering the realm of World Tree Gaius increased, the demon's defeat became more obvious, until it was irreversible.
After all the demons were wiped out, Lin, who had been serving as the fire brigade, followed the emissaries of the World Tree to the heart of Gaius's tree. The incarnation of Gaius is an old man with a stooped back and leaning on a cane to stand. He looked at the elves, his eyes stayed on the only human body for a while, and said in a pale and weak voice:
"Victors, here you are. Unfortunately, it seems that the prize cannot be divided equally. So, who wants it?"
Lin surpassed the elves and threw a magic stone as soon as he came forward. That was the magic stone originally given to World Tree Chloe, which contained the outline of the plan to transform the Mysterious Land using the inheritance method of World Tree. Although there is only a rough outline of the content, it cannot be explained in just a few words. The most important thing is the supporting data and calculations of each step. This part is the most important.
This is because to convince Yggdrasil, you can’t just paint a big pie. For companies on Earth, if a plan is to convince the big boss, at least a feasibility assessment report must be prepared, and it cannot be dismissed with a few briefings. The briefing is just a stepping stone to attract people.
When someone convinced the World Trees, these big guys didn't invest all their resources at once and get started. It took a lot of time to arrange the specific plans and verify the feasibility. At that time, someone showed up in fascination and conducted on-site investigation. Fortunately, I am not walking with my legs, otherwise I would have broken my foot.
The current situation is that Gaius's lifeline is already in his hands. There was no need to attract his attention. No matter what the coalition brought out, he had to see clearly for his own sake. This world tree is not like some human beings, who are petty and don't care about anything.
It was effortless for Gaius to analyze the inheritance belonging to the World Tree clan. The amount of content is not that much considering World Tree's ability to process data. But He still took some time to verify the evidence and calculations presented in it.
After a moment, Gaius released the magic stone in his hand and said, "This is what you want me to do."
"Yes. This plan requires the cooperation of all World Trees. In other words, it requires the cooperation of twenty-five World Trees to be possible. From the beginning, we just wanted to talk, and of course we did not have to kill His Majesty. dependent group. But they seemed to have no intention of negotiating with us, so we had to clear them all out.——"
After giving the fair reasons, Lin inevitably gave some personal reasons. Don't always sing high-key and expose some selfishness or shortcomings appropriately. On the contrary, it will be easier to win the trust of some people who think highly of themselves, including Yggdrasil.
"-But selfishly speaking, I don't want there to be uncontrollable elements like 'devils' in this plan. After all, the reputation of their tribe is really bad. If because of their participation, other people are confused about the land. There are unnecessary associations with the renovation plan, which leads to objections. This is undoubtedly a problem for us. The implementation of this plan is already quite difficult, and I don’t want too many interfering elements to affect the The success of the plan. So things like this should be avoided if possible."
"What if I say, I don't participate? What will happen? Your plan only says that you need twenty-five World Trees, but you don't specify who you need." Gaius asked tentatively.
"That's right." Lin smiled inexplicably and said: "But in this way, whether His Majesty plans to bring the Lost Land and the Abyss closer, or I am afraid that when establishing the Luoshu Formation, Other living World Trees may cause interference; no matter what the reason is, I can only ask Your Majesty to die. Eliminating uncontrollable and unnecessary variables is a shortcut to success."
"Oh, you discovered something about the abyss, human. How did you see it?" Gaius thought that something secret was discovered, but he didn't show the same angry feeling as when human deeds were revealed. Instead, he asked calmly where he showed his flaws.
Lin showed an expression of admiration and praised: "I have always thought that in order for the World Tree to grow, it must grow its branches towards different dimensions and different worlds, and draw nutrients from there. But I never thought about it. , it seems that you can do the same thing by taking root in another world. However, it seems more difficult to do so, so Your Majesty Gaius, you choose to take root in the abyss. Because the connection between the abyss and the lost land is already quite close, it is necessary to remove the roots of the tree. It is much easier to explore into the abyss than to go to other places. But I don’t know if you don’t know it, or if you know it but choose to ignore it, Your Majesty, you have begun to rot from the root. In the long run, there will only be two results, death and another Or transform into the abyss and become a member of the devil.”
Ignoring the sideways glances of others, Lin walked to the west corner of the tree center area. The inherited magic pattern of the World Tree actually also contains their growth code. Just like the DNA sequence of living things, it records the mystery of life in the most primitive and simple way.
This also means that someone who knows the inheritance method of World Tree has also obtained the method to control World Tree. But the premise is that the other party doesn't resist. Once resistance arises, it will be a war for dominance. For someone who is just starting out, losing is an inevitable result.
But this time, Gaius didn't stop a certain human being from doing something. Let the other party uncover the red-black tree veins hidden under that wall.
If it were any other normal world tree, these veins, which are almost as thick as an adult's thigh, should be as clear as crystal amber, with streams of light flashing from time to time.
But Gaius's tree veins were not only red and black, but also contracted and pulsated like a living thing, and emitted steam. It was as if a water pipe connected to a pump was pumping hot magma intermittently from somewhere.
This reminds someone of a phenomenon – demonization. In the abyss, there are no native species of demons belonging to the abyss; all demons are foreign species that came to the abyss, were infected by the local atmosphere, and then changed into 'demonization'. Just like no matter what kind of animals or plants enter an environment with severe nuclear pollution, they will definitely mutate.
Even the little devil who claims to be born from the abyss is actually like a grain of sand falling into the body of a pearl clam, and then being covered by the secretions of the clam, turning it into a pearl. Those little devils born in the abyss are in a similar situation.
Only a very small number of powerful individuals can conceive and then give birth to children through sexual intercourse like normal organisms. Otherwise, the so-called devil is born in various messy ways. The most common ones are normal creatures degenerating into abyss and demon.
What will happen if the World Tree becomes demonized? If someone hadn't been promoting a plan to transform the land, Lin would have really wanted to see what Gaius, the World Tree, would look like in the end. Will he turn into another demon king, ready to destroy the peace of the world, or even destroy the entire mystery, and then it will be the same old story of a brave man defeating the demon king.
It's a pity that someone still knows how to prioritize. It was impossible for Lin to let go of his already planned plan to transform the land and see what Gaius, the demonized world tree, could ultimately achieve. And even if these two things are not contradictory, it is not certain whether they will interfere with each other. In order to ensure the success rate of the plan, the right way is to eliminate unnecessary variables. So Lin asked:
"Then, Your Majesty Gaius, what do you decide to do?"
"Do I have a choice, human?" Gaius said coldly. Changing the subject, he added: "But it's not impossible for me to join your plan. But I have a condition. If you don't agree, nothing needs to be discussed."
"Please say."
"Keep those damn elves away from me! Including that damn kingdom, and the ones behind you! Just let you carry the other tree king's clones, human. Or you can talk to me alone, anyway, it looks like now , you’re not the kind of talkative person who can’t make up your own mind. In short, get those disgusting pointed ears out of the way, now!”
Before the wood elves could protest, more than twenty elf envoys carrying their majesty's avatars disappeared on the spot. The wood elf coalition outside also gathered and left under the command of the staff holder. Just as they came in a hurry, they left in a hurry. A certain human being was left alone, face to face with Gaius, the World Tree, eye to eye. There is quite a desolate feeling in the wind.
Especially without the suppression of other World Tree sacred objects──their clones──Gaius's power gradually recovered. Lin smiled and said: "His Majesty Gaius doesn't want to deal with me specifically after driving away the other World Trees, right?"
"Are you afraid? Human, I can't hear the feeling of fear from your voice." Gaius returned to his calm tone.
"Well, should I be scared? You're really going to deal with me!"
"No, human. I don't have any good way to deal with you, the magician who claims to be the best at escaping."
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would also know my not-so-resounding self-portrait. Should this be said to be an honor or a trepidation?"
"It is precisely because I am paying attention to you that I have room to talk today." Gaius said without hiding his purpose.
"Well, His Majesty Gaius should know that even if I don't say it, the twenty or so people who are paying attention here can probably hear it." Someone said something that was half truthful and half false. The more than 20 big guys left completely and basically didn't pass on the message themselves. They wouldn't know the content of today's conversation.
"It doesn't matter, as long as those pointed ears are gone."
I said, brother, how deep your resentment towards the elves is.
