I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 706 Crystallized Roses and Smuggling

The ruined, desolate, and flawless crystal land, the dim and moonless sky.

In a deathly silent and lifeless place, beneath the only crimson rose tree blooming like fireworks, the life symphony of men and women began to play.

As the pitch rose, the rose tree slowly transformed from its roots into a translucent illusion, gradually being replaced by blue and white soul mist.

Another pitiful, wasted wail from the succubus.

The enraged yet slightly weakened face of the Rose Goddess moved from the middle of the trunk to the top.

"If I hadn't just woken up, do you think you could have humiliated me like this?!"

"This tree is not my true form, so no matter what you do, you will never be able to affect me!"

"Once you've finished your corruption, I'll break free immediately! Then I can make my escape! After I regain my strength, I'll rip out your and that succubus's internal organs and save these poor tree spirits and elves!"

"If you stop now, I might spare your life! Leave this tree behind!"

Rod smiled and stuffed it into Terry's mouth to clean it.

Amidst the succubus's delighted cries as she frantically devoured the remaining snacks, her eyes remained unchanged as she prepared the next [Tidal End] projectile.

"You are greedily taking advantage of the rose bush."

The expression on the Rose Goddess's face stiffened slightly.

“I’ve figured it out. Every single one of you newly awakened evil gods has a huge energy deficit, and most likely your physical bodies are incomplete. You can’t absorb energy quickly with just your soul and spirit bodies.”

Luca, the moon goddess, has only four physical parts.

The Lord of a Thousand Throats, Am, fared even worse. Originally an intangible being, his physical body simply crumbled and dissipated over tens of thousands of years.

The rose goddess before me only possessed a spiritual and soul form; her physical body had long ago been dismembered and collected by the sun god.

"So here's the question."

Boer——

Terry used her superb suction and pressure to pull away, and Vivian, who wasn't very tall, was lifted up by two vines. With her back to Rhodes, she slowly approached at close range.

Unable to bear watching her clumsy movements, the succubus once again took the initiative to help her.

"What will those guys who deliberately returned to the First Era and have been sleeping until now do to deal with this enormous gap?"

The Rose Goddess paused slightly, her expression turning cold: "Who are you? Fabio? No, you don't have the blood of those lizardmen."

"I am just an insignificant human being."

"A quasi-divine artifact that should not appear in this era, as well as the ability to absorb and control souls, cannot be described as insignificant."

"But why aren't you inside the clay tablet?"

"Even clay tablets know that gods are ranked. I am not qualified to log in as an impure being."

"So, the sun god who split your body is here?"

The Rose Goddess's pupils shrank to pinpoints: "Who are you?!"

"Who am I, Vivian? Wait a minute before you kiss me, okay? I'm talking, Terry, don't bite there, cough cough. Who I am isn't important. What's important is that maybe we can cooperate. You take your revenge, and I'll kill God."

"You want to kill a god?"

Her disdain and arrogance reappeared on her face. "You are not worthy. You cannot even kill me."

"There's a lot of time to come."

Rod wasn't in a hurry.

"It's no use. Those guys have a backup plan. Unlike us who are smuggled in, even if the part sealed in the real dimension is completely exhausted, they can be reborn in another dimension. At worst, they will just lose their memories."

Did those evil gods come from another dimension?

This is not surprising.

In terms of the birth of divine sparks, there are indeed more opportunities in other dimensions.

However, the bone dragon Megan once said that the division of the alternate dimension is now obvious, and even powerful cosmic beings that have not yet developed consciousness will take over based on instinct.

Slow down
Based on the three elements constituting an intelligent individual, it is basically certain that it consists of a physical body, a mental body, and a soul.

Such powerful cosmic beings, how could they lack consciousness? They must have left a contingency plan in another dimension.
Rodfu suddenly had an idea and raised an eyebrow: "They abandoned their physical bodies and only used their spiritual and soul bodies to travel, in order to ensure that they could only have one physical, spiritual, and soul body at a time on the timeline?"

"."

The Rose Goddess had a strange expression and did not respond.

"Isn't it?"

".I have no idea."

"Flying".

Her anger flared up again, and at the same time, the spiritual devouring of the rose tree had gradually spread to the entire trunk.

"The gods of smuggling are as numerous as hairs. As long as they can survive the Ragnarok in the future, who cares about all that?"

Ragnarok in the future?
No wonder everyone was traveling back to the First Era from the future. Turns out they were seeking refuge.
"What Ragnarok?"

A flicker of panic crossed the face on the tree trunk: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. By then, you, with your human lifespan, will have already passed away."

"Rhodes won't die."

Vivian, nestled in his arms, stiffened for a moment, staring intently at Rhodes with worry in her eyes.

The tree trunk's face moved upwards again, transforming into a human face made of leaves and petals.

Rhodes smiled at Miss Tree Spirit, their eyes met for two seconds, and then that spotless face of hers was buried in her eyes again.

"Don't bite my tongue. Time is running out, my goddess."

"."

The Rose Goddess pondered for a moment, her expression somber and uncertain.

"I can make a bet with you. The ten-year period will be a trial period. If you reach a level that I deem worthy of challenging the gods, I can stay for another ten years. During this period, you will need to kill my enemies."
Furthermore, in the past twenty years, you have not been allowed to force any innocent woman to do anything she did not want to do.
"If any one of these conditions is not met, I will kill you and that succubus, and free these two poor tree spirits and elf ladies."

Rhodes nodded, indicating that it was perfectly acceptable.

Twenty years?
I can be awesome even just lying down.

general.

This is a weapon specifically designed for the solar domain.

Rod pursed his lips, feeling a bit cheated.

However, it's good that the Rose Goddess can be used as an ornament.

Looking back, the bound Calliste was slowly falling asleep, the power of the [Chastity Domain] had already faded.

"What should I call you? My name is Rod."

The phantom of the Rose Goddess appeared, and she shuddered: "What a disgusting name. You can just call me Rose."

Rod was puzzled and was about to make a joke.

A series of messages popped up on the panel, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud:

[Having grasped a portion of the authority over the 'plundering domain']
