In the face of the allied attack, Gaius, the World Tree, behaved far more calmly than one might have imagined. …… Or rather, give up treatment?

It's not that he didn't try to help the demons resist, but the demons in civil strife don't have a fine tradition of 'facing external enemies and uniting with the outside world'. For them, it's just one more set of enemies. Should be fought or must be fought, should be killed or must be killed. Acting independently, of course, they are no match for the elves as a whole.

Coupled with the suppression of the power of countless other World Tree clones, Gaius and the other World Trees can bring about the advantages of the auxiliary effect of geography and blessings, which can be said to cancel each other out. What the two sides are competing for is the most basic individual combat ability, as well as the commander's ability to command. However, the latter, for someone and the World Tree, is like an open hanging, which also makes the demons defeated.

For the creatures of the abyss, there is no such thing as a captive. If the other party doesn't do it, it's enough; Once you do it, you kill it. When the number of Wood Elf coalitions that entered the realm of the World Tree Gaius increased, the defeat of the demon side became more obvious until it was irretrievable.

After all the demons were cleared, Lin, who had been serving as a firefighting team, followed the Holy Messengers of the World Tree to the heart of Gaius. Gaius is an old man who is barely standing with his back bent and leaning on his cane. He looked at the elves, his gaze lingering for a moment longer on the only human being, and said in a pale and feeble voice:

"Victor, you are coming. Unfortunately, the rewards don't seem to be evenly divided. So, who wants it? ”

Lin crossed the elves, and as soon as he came forward, he threw a magic stone out. It was the magic stone that was originally given to the World Tree Chloy, and it contained a general description of the transformation plan of the World Tree with the inheritance method of the World Tree. Although it is only a general content, it is not something that can be said in a few words. The most important thing is the supporting data and calculation of each step, and this part is the most.

This is because it is not enough to convince the World Tree to draw a pie. In the case of a company on the planet, a plan needs to convince the big boss that at least a feasibility assessment report must be made, not a few briefings, which are just a stepping stone to attraction.

Someone persuaded the World Tree that these bigwigs didn't put all their resources into it all at once. It took a lot of time to make specific plans and verify the feasibility. At that time, someone flashed in a daze, and investigated the field. Fortunately, I didn't walk with my legs, otherwise I wouldn't have broken my legs.

And the current situation is that Gaius's lifeblood has been held in his hands. There is no need to attract his attention, no matter what the coalition side comes up with, he needs to see it for his own sake. This World Tree is not like some humans, who are petty and don't care about anything.

Gaius had no trouble analyzing the lineage that belonged to the World Tree Clan. The amount of content is not a lot in terms of the World Tree's ability to process data. But it took him some time to test the evidence and calculations that were presented.

After a moment, Gaius let go of the magic stone in his hand and said, "This is what you want me to do. ”

"Yes. This project requires the cooperation of all the World Trees. In other words, it takes twenty-five World Trees to work together to make it possible. From the very beginning, we just wanted to talk, and of course we didn't have to kill His Majesty's family group. But they didn't seem to have the will to negotiate with us, so they had to get rid of them all. ——”

After saying the reason for Zhengdaguang, Lin inevitably said some personal reasons. Don't always sing high-pitched songs and moderately expose some selfishness or shortcomings, but it is easier to win the trust of some people who think highly of themselves, including the World Tree.

"—but selfishly, I don't want to have such an uncontrollable element as a 'demon' in this plan. After all, their reputation as a race is a bit stinky, and if because of their involvement, others will have unnecessary associations with the Ecstasy Transformation Project, and thus hold objections. This is undoubtedly a problem for us. The implementation of this project is already quite difficult, and I don't want too many distractions to affect the success of the project. So things like this can be avoided if they can be avoided. ”

"What if I say, I'm not involved? What will happen? Your plan only says that you need twenty-five World Trees, but you don't specify who you will need. Gaius asked tentatively.

"That's right." Lin smiled inexplicably and said, "But in this way, whether Your Majesty intends to bring the Lost Land and the Abyss closer, or I am afraid that when the Vena Great Array is established, other living World Trees may cause interference; Whatever the reason, I can only ask Your Majesty to die. Eliminating uncontrollable and unnecessary variables is a shortcut to success. ”

"Oh, you've discovered something about the Abyss, human. How do you see that? Gaius thought that something secret had been discovered, but he did not appear to be angry and corrupt when human deeds were revealed. Instead, he calmly asked where he was showing his flaws.

Lin showed a look of admiration and praised: "I have always thought that in order for the World Tree to grow, it has to grow its own branches towards different dimensions and different worlds, and draw nourishment from there. But I never thought that I could do the same thing by putting down roots in another world. However, it seems to be more difficult to do so, so Your Majesty Gaius chooses to take root in the abyss. Because the connection between the abyss and the maze is already quite close, it is much easier to reach the roots of the tree into the abyss than to other places. But I don't know if you don't know it, or if you know it, but you choose to ignore it, Your Majesty, you have begun to rot from the roots. In the long run, there will only be two outcomes, death, or abyssal transformation and becoming a member of the demons. ”

Ignoring the sideways glances of others, Lin Jing walked to the corner of the west side of the heart of the tree. The World Tree's Inheritance Magic Pattern actually contains their growth code. Just like the DNA sequence of living things, it records the mysteries of life in the most primitive and simple way.

This also means that someone who is aware of the World Tree's inheritance method has also been given a way to control the World Tree. But the premise is that the other party does not resist. Once it resists, it will be a war for dominance. For someone who is just getting started, losing is a given.

And this time, Gaius didn't stop a human from acting. Let the other party uncover the veins of the tree that have turned red and black hidden under the wall.

If it were any other normal World Tree, these veins, which were almost the thickness of an adult's thigh, would be as crystal clear as amber, and there would be flashes of light from time to time.

But Gaius's veins were not just red and black, they were constricting and steaming like living creatures. It was as if a water pipe connected to the pump was intermittently pumping hot lava from somewhere.

This reminds someone of a phenomenon - demonization. In the abyss, there is no demon native species that belongs to the abyss; All demons are alien breeds, and after coming to the abyss, they are infected by the local breath, and then undergo a 'demonization' change. It's as if any animal or plant will mutate if it enters a severely contaminated environment.

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 mussel, and then being covered by the mussel's internal secretions, so that it becomes a pearl. Those little demons born in the abyss are like this.

Only a very small number of powerful individuals can conceive and give birth to children through mating like normal organisms. Otherwise, the so-called demon birth is all kinds of messy ways. The most common is the degeneration of normal creatures, abyssal and demonic.

And then what will become of the World Tree as it becomes demonized? If it weren't for the fact that someone was pushing for the transformation of the Lost Land, Lin would have really wanted to see what Gaius, the World Tree, would have turned into in the end. Will it become another demon king, ready to destroy the peace of the world, or even destroy the entire maze, and then it will be the old story of the brave man crusading against the demon king.

It's a pity that someone can still prioritize things. It was impossible for Lin to put aside the plan that had been set for the transformation of the Mysterious Land and see how far Gaius, the demonized world tree, could finally go. And even if these two things are not contradictory, it is not certain that they will interfere with each other. In order to ensure the success of the plan, it is important to eliminate unnecessary variables. So Lin asked:

"Then Your Majesty Gaius, what have you decided to do?"

"Do I have a choice, human?" Gaius said coldly. After a moment of conversation, he added, "But it's not impossible for me to join your plan." But I have one condition, if I don't agree, I don't have to negotiate anything. ”

"Please."

"Keep those damn elves away from me! Hell, what kingdom to hell, and the ones behind you! The clones of the other Tree Kings can be carried by you, human. Or maybe you're talking to me alone, and now it doesn't seem like you're the kind of person who can't make up your mind. Anyway, get those disgusting pointed ears out of the way, now! ”

Without waiting for the wood elves to protest, more than twenty elven envoys carrying their respective Majes' doppelgangers disappeared on the spot. The Wood Elf coalition outside also gathered and left one after another under the order of the staff bearer. Just as they came in a hurry, and went in a hurry. Leaving a human alone, alone and face to face with Gaius, the World Tree. There is a kind of bleak feeling.

Especially without the suppression of the other World Tree relics, that is, their clones, Gaius's power gradually revived. Lin smiled and said, "Your Majesty Gaius doesn't want to clean me up after branching out the other world trees, right?" ”

"Are you scared? Human, you can't hear fear in your voice. Gaius reverted to his flat tone.

"Well, should I be afraid? You're really going to clean me up! ”

"No, human. I don't have any good way to deal with you, the self-proclaimed best escaper. ”

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to know my not-so-loud self-proclaim. Should this be an honor, or a trepidation? ”

"It's because I'm following you that I have room to talk today." Gaius said without hiding his purpose.

"Well, His Majesty Gaius should know, even if I don't talk about it, the twenty or so people who are paying attention to this place can also hear it." Someone says something half-truthful. The more than 20 bigwigs walked cleanly, basically they didn't pass on the words, they wouldn't know the content of today's conversation.

"It's okay, it's good that those pointy ears aren't there."

I said, big brother, how deep is your grudge against the elves.
