There was a bit of tension in the hall earlier regarding the matter of fully accepting the help of us humans to the World Treant and its denizens. Doubts could not just be lifted from them, so we kind of understood them.
As Aesfen suggested, we decided to bring this up to the World Treant and let it decide for itself. That was why we found ourselves standing in front of it at its base.
I once again lost myself in thoughts on how massive and gigantic this tree, or monster, was. I could not believe that this was more powerful than Czarina in terms of levels. As for its stats and abilities, this was its breakdown.

Meanwhile, the Regression allowed the user to revert itself back to its juvenile form once its life perished. In the case of the World Treant, it would be reborn as a sapling when it died. It was an extremely useful skill for survival.
Since those abilities were racial skills, I was happy to copy them without the tree and the tree spirits' knowledge and apply them to myself. But I thought that I did not have to use the Parthenogenesis as my Unique Skill: Alter Ego was better.
I could probably bless the Sanctuary on Mother to strengthen our nation's military power. Like I said earlier, we would not be activating it unless in times of emergency like a war. Due to its nature, we could use it to determine how loyal our people were toward the queen.
I could do the same for Big Sis since she would rule the queendom someday, and she could pass it down to the next queen through the Monarch of the Night. I would make that skill a special ability only exclusive to the Raevender queens.
I looked at my sister and saw her mesmerizing the tree as well. Anyway, those things would happen in the future, so we had to focus on our purpose coming here.
"We can only communicate with the World Treant telepathically. Do you mind it, Your Highnesses?"
"I have no problem with that, Miss Aesfen," my sister said while her arms were crossed. "And so I think Raphael too."
"Yeah." I nodded. "I hope that the World Treant sees our worth and recognizes how the establishment of this diplomatic relationship could benefit both sides."
"Fufu. Don't get your hopes up," Alandra chuckled. "If our mother fails to see trust in you, you are free to leave us alone forever. We don't need your help. And if you managed to convince her, then we tree spirits would submit to your nation wilfully. Is that an agreement?"
"Of course," Big Sis concurred. "But mark your words as well."
"You have our words."
"If this relationship is not established, do not expect us for any aid once you need some help. Trust is something to be earned after all."
"Do not underestimate us just because you humans built your city in this forest."
"Stop it, Alandra," Aesfen interrupted. "Don't give them any reason to spite us."
"You too, Sister," I said. "Don't make it more complicated."
"Sigh. I understand."
"Alright," Aesfen said. "We shall start the discussion."
