The Lord of Hell

Chapter 3455 Explanation
There were three battlefields in the sky and one on the ground, all fought with extraordinary intensity, so much so that Los Angeles would occasionally tremble.

Without a doubt, the most important of these battlefields is Andrew's battlefield; that is the main battlefield and the key to victory or defeat.

Currently, Andrew has the upper hand on this battlefield. Although he is temporarily trapped by the altar, everyone knows that the altar cannot hold him off for long. The Sithons only hope to delay him for a while so that the Tree of Time and Death can break the bond of life and death.

The efforts of Sithon and his companions were worthwhile. The Tree of Time activated its prophetic abilities, traveling to the future to try and find out Andrew's purpose in setting up the black lines.

Known for its powerful prophetic abilities, the Tree of Time quickly learned of Andrew's purpose in setting up the black threads—to lure Him into the future and obtain the truth.

"No, I've been tricked."

The Tree of Time's expression changed drastically, but it was too late. In a flash, it found itself on a small island where the King of Superpowers was lying on a beach chair drinking an iced cola, with two beautiful women whom the Tree of Time did not recognize serving him.

The King of Abilities seemed to sense something and glanced in the direction of the Tree of Time. The Tree of Time was startled, but to its surprise, although the King of Abilities had discovered it, it did not immediately take action.

"What exactly does the King of Superpowers want to do? Where am I?"

The Tree of Time was completely bewildered when Andrew shouted, "It's almost time, everyone come over here!"

As Andrew's voice rang out, nine beams of light flew from afar, transforming into nine figures—nine trees of Compound V. Among them, the King of Negation was in child form, while the others were the same as in reality, including the Tree of Time.

"BOSS".

The nine Compound V trees shouted respectfully in unison. The Tree of Time, who was hiding to the side, was taken aback. He could understand why the other Compound V trees surrendered to the King of Abilities, but why did he also surrender? And what was the King of Negative Power?

The Tree of Time wasn't just putting on an act; even if you threatened Him with your life, He wouldn't surrender. He still had that much backbone; after all, He was a prophet, and He had his pride.

As for the King of Negativity, He is even less likely to surrender than himself. If He were ever in dire straits, He would only do one thing: perish together with Him.

Andrew nodded in satisfaction and said, "I have called you here today to use the divine power of destiny to do something great."

"Use the Heavenly Mandate Divine Power to do something? Besides fighting, comprehending rules, and removing negative status effects, what else can the Heavenly Mandate Divine Power do?"

The others were confused, but the Time Tree of this timeline had a sudden thought and asked, "Boss, could it be that matter?"

Yes, that's the thing.

Andrew raised his hand, and the Tree of Time from the past flew to Andrew's front and appeared in his presence. Everyone stared at it in surprise. What was going on?

"Tree of Time, don't be impatient. I, the King of Superpowers, never keep you in suspense. I will tell you everything in detail."

Andrew said, “It’s fine that you’re unwilling to surrender to me, and it’s also true that you’re tough. But every living being has a weakness. Once I find that weakness, I can subdue you.”

In this time and space, I found your weakness and subdued you.

The Time Tree of this timeline nodded to its past self and said, "That's right, that's how it is. In this timeline, the King of Superpowers is already the protagonist of destiny."

The Tree of Time showed no anger; being a prophet, it was naturally very calm. After careful consideration, it said:
"I don't deny the possibility that I could be subdued by you, but it's only a possibility. Even if you learn my weaknesses through the method of perceiving the future, you may not necessarily be able to subdue me."

Because any variable can lead to a different outcome, and not only can you sense the future, but I can too.

“Of course I know that, so I have no intention of continuing to use this weakness to subdue you.”

Andrew laughed and said, "I plan to synchronize and merge you in this timeline with you in the past timeline. At that time, you will be Him and He will be you. In this way, you will naturally become my subordinate."

"Impossible, how could such a thing be done?"

The Tree of Time was taken aback for a moment, then said decisively, "This spacetime is not a real spacetime, but only a possibility for the future. It is an uncertain spacetime that could collapse at any time."

The life forms in this spacetime are not real life forms; they cannot merge with me and become me. Not only me, but even the other Compound Five trees could not, let alone me, who is a Tree of Time proficient in the rules of time.

"That's certainly true under normal circumstances."

Andrew said, “But your situation is not normal. First, I have tampered with your body. I can influence your fate to a certain extent. Don’t bother looking, you won’t find out what I’ve done.”

"If there really was some trickery involved, King of Superpowers, who exactly are you?"

The Tree of Time frowned and asked, "I've always felt something's off about you. There's no flaw in your defense, but you're just too powerful. There's no reason for a mere human to be this strong."

"The BOSS is a protagonist in the universe, so isn't it only natural that he's powerful?"

The God of Stars shouted from the side. Although He didn't quite understand the situation, that didn't stop Him from taking the opportunity to flatter. The Tree of Time was a little speechless. This guy was still like this even in an uncertain future timeline.

"I am indeed just a mere human, but I have a mechanical demon king standing behind me, and he has been pushing me toward becoming the protagonist."

Andrew didn't say much more, stopping short of saying more. Then he continued, "Of course, these things are not important. Let's get back to the main point. First, as I just said, I did something to you. Second, you did something to you."

"What? Sithon also tampered with me?"

Even the Tree of Time couldn't help but be speechless. What is this body of mine, a public toilet? How come everyone leaves something on my body?
Andrew continued, "To be precise, it's a curse. Once activated, all five of you Compound V trees will become puppets of Sithon."

"Is it that magic circle? I knew there was something wrong, but I didn't expect it to be such a big problem."

The Tree of Time said with a grim expression. Andrew smiled and continued, "Tree of Time, if you don't merge with the consciousness of the Tree of Time in the future, the only path left is to become a puppet of Xisorn."

"These two questions, coupled with my invincible divine power, give me absolute confidence that I can merge your two consciousnesses and make you my subordinate. Have I explained myself clearly enough?"
