330-324 Those who cut off the world tree

I didn't think they were destroying the World Tree........

And when he said we, it was obvious that he was referring to the Dragon Gods or Lord Leinster.

''You mean they destroyed the World Tree, how could it have been destroyed?''

When we fought the evil gods, Rain gave it his all and cut off both the evil gods and the world tree.

Again.......... Well, I didn't think there were that many beings capable of destroying the World Tree, but isn't there too many things left undone?　Nevertheless, what I'm still curious about is the spirit queen in front of me.

''Why did the Lord God create this labyrinth and seal you in?　I'm sure Lord Leinster and you are not the only ones responsible.

The role of the spirits is to protect this world. It's not just a matter of time before the miasma is lost. If the World Tree is lost, the moxie that it purifies will be lost.

Self-sacrifice ... no, I said that was my role, but I feel like that's not the only role I have to play, inevitably.

I feel like I've somehow strayed from the answer.

'Lord Leinster seemed to be making a world tree in Nerdal, but that wasn't good enough for you?

'Yes. Rain had worked hard until the day he died. Even so, he couldn't restore the World Tree to its original state. That's why Rain sealed the Dark Continent to prevent the miasma from leaking out.

I don't think that's something most people would be able to do, but there's a slight discrepancy between that and what Lord Leinster was talking about.

'I understand that you have to have the World Tree. But that still doesn't explain why the Lord God sealed you away.

'It took my magic, the Spirit Queen, to revive the World Tree.

Was it the Lord God?

No. I couldn't trust the wards that Leinster had created. That's why I tried to bring back the World Tree as soon as possible.

Is it complete self-sacrifice?

But even so, when I think back to the actions and words and deeds of Forenoire and the Dragon God and the others, I feel that's not the only thing that could be done.

''If it was a time-space dragon, which is the temporary form of the Lord God Kraya, wouldn't it have at least been able to turn back the target's time?''

Unfortunately, God is not allowed to intervene in the world directly.

Well, saying something here won't change the past, so let's talk about it after we get out of this labyrinth first.

I understand. I still want to ask you some more questions, but I'd rather get out of the labyrinth first. Please give me the advantages and disadvantages of defeating the World Tree first.

''You seem to be saying it's easy to defeat that attribute dragon but you've already beaten it.

The spirit queen, who had a surprised expression on her face for a moment, pretended to think.

''I want to make the best choice, please.''

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. The disadvantage is that the maze's miasma becomes more miasma-rich and the monsters become stronger.

.........I feel like there's nothing wrong with saying that the demons will be stronger, but if it's just the labyrinth......

Well, as a disadvantage, the fact that you'll be fighting the attribute dragons as well is missing.

''What are the advantages and disadvantages of meeting with this labyrinth lord, the Lord God Kraya?''

'There are no advantages or disadvantages. If we can meet and talk, we can get out of the labyrinth, otherwise we'll have to fight.

Luck......

Well then, would you rather get some luck?　Well, it doesn't matter.

''I see. To be honest, I'm not sure if I can really defeat the attribute dragons any longer than that. The demons seem to be targeting the World Tree and I would be happy if you could explain to me what the Lord God had in mind when he created this labyrinth.

'Did you hear that this labyrinth is located where the World Tree was located?

Yeah.

'Then you know that the World Tree has memories of this world, don't you?

I'm here, sir.

That's why there are all sorts of demons.

''Actually, the scene you're seeing now is something that actually happened. When the demon controlled demons and evil gods planned to destroy the World Tree.

How is it that there are no demons or evil gods?

'I suppose the presence of the World Tree prevents them from creating demons and evil gods.

........How can demons and evil gods be born in the labyrinth in the first place?　Is it because it's the labyrinth of the World Tree?

So if you keep defeating demons, you're going to lose the miasma?

No, they're taking in a lot of magic to make the World Tree grow, so as long as the miasma isn't eliminated from the world, it won't be.

Then I'll keep the attribute dragons as before........

Thinking that far, I realize something.

''Um, may I ask why there are no spirits?''

'....The spirits are nowhere to be found because of my crucifixion. Perhaps if they were there, they have disappeared.

.........I feel like the Spirit Queen is hiding a lot of things, but well, I guess I have to believe her.

''I see. Then I'd like to see the Lord God Kraya, how can I meet her?

'You see the hole in the ground where I was crucified?　From there you can head down through the World Tree.

I don't know if it's a lie or the truth, but it looks like the only way to go is to go.

But after releasing the spirit queen, the attribute dragons have already become aggressive as if they have forgotten themselves.

It's as if they were programmed to do this.

''Spirit Queen, I want to try out a few things, if that's okay with you?''

Yeah. Yeah.

I invoked the sanctuary circle and purification magic on the spirit queen.

I didn't spiritify her, so I wanted to make sure she wasn't a demon or a demon that could be humanized.

''I'm sorry, but I had to try it.

It's natural to be cautious. That clears your suspicions, doesn't it?

I can't say for sure because I don't know if there's brainwashing or resentment, but I decided to nod, though I can't trust him anyway.

''Yes. So you'll follow me, right?

It looks like I have to get back to earth, and I'll follow you in spirit form.

There are a lot of things that are bothering me, but me and the Spirit Queen started flying towards the World Tree again.

The Spirit Queen, who had just been opened up and looked sickly, even if the breaths and magic of the light dragon, thunder dragon, dark dragon, poison dragon, and holy dragon were released, all of the attacks slipped through because she was spiritified.

And although there wasn't any particular attack on me, as soon as it progressed to the World Tree, it spat out breaths without hesitation to the World Tree, and I felt like even the World Tree was going to be destroyed if it continued.

But even so, I managed to enter the hollow where the Spirit Queen was being crucified.

Then the inside of the World Tree was scattered with magical stones, making it look very mysterious.

''Falling.''

Follow the Spirit Queen to lower the altitude.

There were no traps, just falling all the way down.

And in the middle of the fall, the sealing gate that the reincarnated dragons were at appeared.
