Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 371 Mother Tree Online Negotiation
Of course, even if the bound god Thorzna didn't "go mad," Bethel would still do it. The sun god is powerful, but the mother tree on the other side is not to be trifled with either. With the mother tree's blessing, the bound god Thorzna could hold out against the sun god for a while.

This makes it difficult for both sides to completely contain their destructive power once they start fighting. In order to avoid a tragedy like the Forsaken Land, the existence of other dimensions is very necessary.

The will of the Mother Tree, which descended upon the bound god Thorzna, stared at Rolin, then suddenly smiled and said, "But my purpose was only to restrain you, and in that respect, it has already achieved its goal."

“I know!” Roland nodded without any surprise, then looked at the Mother Tree with a puzzled expression and said, “But how can you be sure I didn’t send someone to deal with the god Sieves’a?”

"To be honest, dealing with your lackeys is indeed a troublesome matter. Even Bethel cannot transfer Little To and the God of Evil Sear to another dimension at the same time. Although I have others under my command who are stronger than the God of Evil Sear, it is still a bit troublesome to avoid harming innocent people as much as possible."

Lorin was speaking from the heart. After all, the god Sylvanas was a Sequence 1 and had the blessing of the Mother Goddess. It would not be easy for a normal Angel King to defeat Him. Even if Antigonus and Medici attacked at the same time, it would be difficult to control the battle range. If things went wrong, it could cause huge casualties.

Although with the sun god present, it shouldn't take too long to deal with the bound god Thorzna and they can quickly go to support the battle there, the destructive power of an angel, even if it only lasts a few seconds, would be a huge disaster for ordinary people.

This is one of the reasons why Earth has not dealt with these Outer God lackeys. After all, Earth is fighting on its home turf. If it cannot achieve a crushing victory against these powerful lackeys, it will cause huge casualties.

Especially now that gods cannot easily leave the astral plane, it is even more difficult to achieve a crushing victory.

Moreover, even if the bound god Thorzna and the god Nie Suea are dealt with, the other Rose School members scattered throughout the Northern Continent are still a major problem. Not everyone is like Amon, with clones all over the world, nor does everyone have Mr. Men's mobility. If the other Rose School members cannot be dealt with in time, they may cause great damage if they become desperate and start causing trouble.

Only Luo Lin could handle these troubles perfectly.

"Ah, judging by the time, they should be almost there." Luo Lin suddenly pulled out a pocket watch from somewhere, glanced at it, and said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on the Mother Tree's face turned ugly. Having been watching the God of Evil, He knew what had happened.

Just now, the god Nieceia, who almost broke through the encirclement, encountered Antigonus. Then, Nieceia and Antigonus were transferred together to a strange, misty town.

There, the god Nieceea encountered a woman, the goddess of night who had briefly left the astral plane.

"Looks like you're keeping an eye on that side too!" Roland's smile immediately became even brighter.

As we all know, Outer Gods are different from the evil gods on Earth. Everyone has a responsibility to deal with Outer Gods. Rolin is not the kind of fool who only cares about saving face and suffers for it. He could have called for reinforcements but didn't. So, after discovering the lack of combat power, Rolin decisively chose to call for reinforcements.

The one he shook over was none other than Amanisis, the goddess of night. With the help of the sun god, the crack in the night's kingdom that had been sealed off was no longer a concern, and the goddess of night could now free up her hands to deal with the god Nie Si'a.

The Mother Tree, which descended upon the bound god Thorzna, remained silent for a moment before suddenly speaking: "I don't understand why you chose Earth. You should have stood on our side. We are your kind. If you wish, we can fully support you to become the new creator. You are more qualified than the fallen Mother Goddess."

His words seemed sincere, his attitude at least respectful (if not humble), and utterly seductive:
"If you love the Earth, we can give it up as your toy. Killing and destruction mean nothing to us. From beginning to end, we only want to take back everything we have lost."

Hearing this, Roland smiled, looked up at the Mother Tree, his golden eyes revealing no emotion, and said, "That sounds quite intriguing." Bethel and the Sun God beside him couldn't help but look at Roland at this moment, but neither of them showed much tension in their eyes, because they both knew what kind of person Roland was. What they were worried about was only the slight but real possibility that Roland might "go mad."

After all, you can't always predict the behavior of someone who likes to have fun.

“If you don’t believe me, I can sign a contract with the Sun God beside you as a witness. He is currently the most powerful and recognized being. Although He has not yet officially become God, a contract certified by Him still has enough binding force for us.” Seeing that Rolin did not refuse directly, the Mother Tree quickly added more pressure.

"Heh, quite thoughtful indeed." Luo Lin chuckled upon hearing this, then glanced at the two beside him and suddenly teased:

"Aren't you tempted? Theoretically speaking, if I were really supported by the Outer Gods and become their leader, and Earth became my toy, then I probably wouldn't have to worry about the end of the world anymore."

“A little.” The Sun God nodded without hiding his opinion, and continued, “Unfortunately, I know even better that compromise cannot bring true peace. I can never entrust the safety of the Earth to the mercy of others, even if that person is you.”

"That's a truly merciless accusation!" Rowling raised an eyebrow and added, "But theoretically speaking, even if we wipe out the Outer Gods in the future, the safety of Earth will still be closely related to me!"

The sun god glanced at him, but did not refute him. He simply said, "At least after we kill the Outer God, we only need to deal with you. If we don't kill the Outer God, that will be true despair."

“That’s true. It’s certainly reassuring to eliminate potential enemies.” Roland nodded, not at all angry at the Sun God’s words. He then looked at Bethel and asked, “And what about you, Bethel? What do you think?”

Bethel met his gaze, his eyes gentle yet firm, and said, "I think you probably haven't forgotten that, setting aside the greater good, I also have a personal grudge against the Outer Gods?"

He didn't spout any grand theories, since the sun god had already spoken, nor did he claim that other gods were unbelievable, since that was obvious. Bethel simply stated a fact.

Because Bethel knew very well that Rowling was a fiercely protective person, and that avenging his friend would move him more than saving the world.

“That’s true. You suffered so much at the hands of the Mother Goddess; you have to get your revenge, otherwise all your suffering over the years would have been for nothing.” Rolin nodded, then looked at the bound god Thorzna and smiled.
"Little Tuo is the same. He's my employee, after all. It's gotten to this bad state, and I'd be a real jerk not to get revenge. So if you really want my cooperation, could you two die a little? If so, I might actually consider it!"

The expression on the opposing mother tree's face, which had just been so confident of victory, froze.

What a joke! He made that suggestion precisely to avoid death!

"It seems you've chosen Earth after all." The Mother Tree could clearly see Rolin's attitude by now, and without trying to persuade him further, she spoke coldly.

"How novel! Earth is much more interesting than yours. As for some creator, pfft!" Roland dropped the pretense and couldn't help but chuckle before slowly saying:
"If I wanted to be some kind of ruler or creator, I wouldn't be here!"
