The Lord of Hell

Chapter 3529 Purpose

Chapter 3529 Purpose

"Of course there's a reason."

Andrew didn't tell Seth the truth. Although Seth was an undercover agent and it was almost impossible for him to escape his control, it was only almost, not 100%.

In fact, let alone almost, even 100% is possible, problems could still arise. After all, they are powerful figures with many means at their disposal, including the timeline, which they can control at will.

Seeing that Andrew wouldn't say anything, Seth snorted unhappily, but didn't press the matter further. There was nothing he could do; in his cooperation with Andrew, he was at a disadvantage. The two were only superficially equal, but in reality, Andrew was the master.

"Mechanical Demon King, what do you want me to do?"

Seth asked directly, "Andrew must have something to tell me in person, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to come out at all."

"You are destined to lose this war."

Andrew said, "Seth, I came to you because I want you to protect those two Compound V trees and make sure they can escape this little world safely and don't die here."

"You mean, you want me to risk my life to protect those two little brats?"

Seth frowned and asked, "Mechanical Demon King, why should I protect those two? Besides, I am not Xisorn. Xisorn only came as an avatar. The Tree of Compound Five is very important, so it makes sense that he would do everything in his power to protect them."

"I am the original body, it doesn't make sense for me to risk my life to protect them, does it? They can't be my illegitimate children, can they? Even if they were, there's no reason for me to sacrifice myself to protect them."

"Why are you protecting those two guys? Because of my orders, of course."

Andrew said, “I need them to live, otherwise the King of Superpowers cannot become the true King of Superpowers. As for your reasons for protecting them, just come up with whatever you want. You can treat them like illegitimate children, no problem.”

Furthermore, you are not your true self. In this world, you are merely an avatar; your death is not a big deal.

"Mechanical Demon King, I wouldn't mind treating them as illegitimate children, and I could also annoy Sithon a bit. The problem is, the others don't want to."

Seth said irritably, "I know, I'm just an avatar in this world, so dying isn't a big deal. If Poseidon and the Iron Tree are really that important to you, I don't mind dying."

The problem now isn't whether I'm willing to die, but that I need a suitable reason to sacrifice myself for them. Otherwise, it would be too abrupt, and Sithon would definitely suspect me of being a traitor.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a reason for you."

Andrew said, "Go to the main universe and find the Lord of Negation. Ask Him if He wants to make a deal, to exchange some good things for your all to protect Poseidon and the Iron Tree?"

"Making a deal with the king of negativity?"

Seth was surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This method is feasible. After all, if the King of Negation wants to become the boss of Compound Five, he certainly can't let Poseidon and the Iron Tree perish prematurely."

If I make a deal with Him, as long as what I ask for isn't too unreasonable, He is very likely to agree.

However, this raises another question: why should I make a deal with the King of Negativity? Even if I lose this small-world war, I still have a good chance of escaping alive, after all, the bald eagle statue and the corpse teeth are in my hands.

With these two treasures, my chances of escape are far higher than others. And after a successful escape, I can continue planning and fighting the King of Superpowers. Why would I abandon the future and choose to make a deal with the King of Negativity? Doesn't that seem a bit illogical?

Andrew glanced at Seth, who was unaware that the reason he had approached him was not only for Poseidon and the others, but also for the bald eagle statue and the teeth of the undead.

Without Andrew's personal intervention, Seth, who possesses the bald eagle statue and the Corpse Clan's teeth, could very well escape this small world. This is something Andrew cannot allow, as he needs the three clan treasures.

The human treasures are already in Andrew's hands, as are the orc bald eagle statue and the undead teeth. Andrew is determined to get them.

Why are the teeth of the undead also in Set's possession? That's because after Sithon obtained the teeth, he handed them over to Set, asking Him to open a spatial rift and welcome the black dragons in.

Afterwards, Sithon didn't retrieve the corpse-race tooth because it wasn't necessary. Moreover, relatively speaking, Set was still trustworthy, at least more so than those Compound V trees.

Since both treasures were on Set, in order to prevent Him from escaping with them, Andrew decided to let Him die to protect Poseidon and the Iron Tree. This way, they could kill two birds with one stone, protecting both Compound V trees and obtaining both treasures.

What, why not just let Seth hand it over?

Seth would certainly agree. In fact, He had no interest in this small world, nor in the outside world, since it wasn't a crucial part of the main universe.

The reason Seth wasn't allowed to hand it over directly was to avoid arousing suspicion and revealing Seth's identity. Just as Seth said, He could do as Andrew instructed, but He had to have a reasonable excuse; otherwise, His identity would be exposed.

In this small world, Andrew has not yet made a move, also because he has no suitable excuse. If he appears too early, it will reveal the identities of the Steel Tree and Poseidon as undercover agents.

Ultimately, it all boils down to one reason: a suitable and convincing one.

"This problem is easy to solve."

Andrew laughed and said, "Seth, you think it's impossible to defeat the King of Superpowers and the Mechanical Demon King in this scenario world, so you're preparing to set up the next world."

"So what's the specific layout? If we don't tell you some solid stuff, we can't fool the King of Negativity. He may be young, but he's not stupid; he just lacks some experience."

Seth pressed for details, and Andrew replied, "The key is that the next world will also be a scripted world, but it will be different from this one. This time, the script is written by the King of Superpowers, and it will be the King of Superpowers' home turf."

The next scenario world was written by the middleman. Although the middleman is almost going crazy, it's still on your side, which means you have half a home field.

One is someone else's home turf, the other is your own home turf. No matter how you look at it, the latter has a better chance of winning. Therefore, abandoning this script and starting to lay the groundwork in the next world is the smart thing to do.

Furthermore, you could say, "You gave Sithon a chance, but he suffered a crushing defeat in the small world, unable even to defeat the Mechanical Demon King's woman. How could he possibly fight the King of Superpowers and the Mechanical Demon King?"

"That's a valid reason."

Seth nodded secretly. He knew about the next scenario world. Death had told him that Death was much more benevolent than Sithon.
