The Lord of Hell

Chapter 3456 Illusion
The Tree of Time's composure vanished, because what Andrew said could actually come true, meaning he could really become the King of Superpowers' subordinate.
The Tree of Time could never accept this. It was so proud that it only had a cooperative relationship with the King of Negation. How could it possibly accept becoming someone else's subordinate?
"King of Superpowers, I will never yield."

The Tree of Time gritted its teeth and said, "I would rather die than serve you."

"You won't die."

Andrew said with a smile, "Because you won't remember this at all. Once I finish casting the spell, your future self and your present self will begin to merge, and at the same time, you will lose this memory."

Next, you will return to your original timeline and learn the purpose of the shared life and death line—of course, the purpose is definitely false.

Afterwards, your future self and your present self will gradually merge. Because it is a slow process, and because it is your own self that is merging with you, you will not feel anything, not even a bad premonition.

"Once Sithon activates His curse, the fusion will be complete. At that time, you will become my subordinate, and I will become the true protagonist of the universe."

The Tree of Time's expression was no longer just ugly, but desperate. There was danger, and He could find a way to resolve it. The problem was, He didn't know there was danger ahead. In this situation, how could He resolve the danger?

Hoping someone else will save you? Think again. Neither the King of Negativity nor Sithon can defeat the King of Superpowers. Besides, these two are fiercely fighting amongst themselves and can't possibly cooperate.

"So, I'm doomed?"

The Tree of Time smiled wryly. Then, as if remembering something, it turned to look at the shrunken version of the Negative King and asked Andrew, "King of Abilities, what's the deal with that little Negative King?"

"As expected of the Tree of Time, even at this point, it still wants to gather intelligence?"

Andrew laughed and said, "Although you can't figure out a way to break my plan right now, you haven't given up, so you want to continue gathering intelligence."

If you win this bet, this invaluable information will save the King of Negativity; if you lose, then naturally nothing more needs to be said.

The Tree of Time sneered, "King of Superpowers, it seems you're not entirely confident in your own plans?"

"Don't try to provoke me, I'm not that easy to fool."

Andrew said, "You will know the origin of this little Negative King in the future. Once you successfully merge with it, you will naturally know. Even if you fail to merge with it, you can try to get your hands on the memories of the future, as long as you have the ability."

Alright, this spacetime is about to collapse, Tree of Time. What will you call me next time we meet?

The so-called next meeting is not an ordinary next meeting, but the next meeting after the Tree of Time merges with His future self and regains his memories.

"King of Superpowers, I will never admit defeat until the very last moment, and even if I, the Tree of Time, die, I will never surrender."

The Tree of Time shouted, and Andrew shrugged, instructing the trees of Compound Five to use their divine powers.

Under the influence of the Heavenly Mandate Divine Power, the two Time Trees merged together. Then, this future timeline began to collapse, and the Time Trees were sent back to their original timelines.

"You think this is the only method I have, but you don't know that I have prepared three methods to subdue you."

In the collapsing spacetime, Andrew muttered to himself, "Let me see if you can let me use the last two backup methods? Of course, whether you can or not, Tree of Time, you can't escape my clutches, uh, no, I mean the clutches of justice."

Reality, Los Angeles.

The Tree of Time, which was sensing the future, suddenly let out a loud cry, and retreated in terror, almost falling from the sky.

Death hastily grasped the Tree of Time, and then asked, "Tree of Time, what have you sensed that has caused such a strong reaction?"

"What did I sense?"

The Tree of Time was taken aback for a moment, and something flashed through its mind, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then, it remembered something, solemnly grasped Death's arm, and said, "I know the specific function of the Life-and-Death Line."

Death was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "Really? What exactly does the King of Superpowers want to do with the black threads?"

"It's simple, he wants to kill my destiny."

The Tree of Time spoke, and Death asked in bewilderment, "What do you mean by 'killing your destiny'?"

"My destiny is to assist the King of Negativity in becoming the leader of the Compound Five Tree. The King of Superpowers wants to kill this destiny. If he succeeds, I will lose the King of Negativity's trust."

The Tree of Time said, "At that time, no matter what I say, the King of Negativity will instinctively refuse to listen, and I will go from being a strategist to a joke."

At this point, the Tree of Time looked horrified: "If something like this happens, our overall strength will definitely drop significantly. After all, no matter how strong the power, without a wise brain to command it, it will only be brute force, resulting in a lot of waste and mistakes."

But that's not the worst part. The worst part is that I might betray them.

Death was taken aback: "You'll betray us?"

“Yes, I will betray him. No matter what advice a strategist gives, the king will not listen to it. The strategist will definitely feel frustrated.”

The Tree of Time said, "In this situation, there are two possibilities for the strategist. One is that he becomes extremely decadent and turns into a useless person. The other is that he develops hatred, directly joins the enemy, and then helps the enemy defeat the original king to prove his strength."

"Death—you know how proud I am. I will only choose the latter. That is to say, if the King of Superpowers succeeds, then I will definitely pledge allegiance to him and become his subordinate, just like Hades, the God of Stars."

This time, Death gasped in shock. The King of Superpowers was terrifyingly powerful. A mere life-and-death line could force the Tree of Time, the only hard bone in the fifth compound tree, to turn against him? This was simply unbelievable!

"The King of Superpowers is almost as cunning as the Mechanical Demon King. No, it's possible that the Mechanical Demon King is secretly giving the King of Superpowers advice."

Death sighed. Upon hearing this, the Tree of Time had a thought that flashed through its mind, but it vanished in an instant. It shook its head and continued, "Fortunately, I sensed the future, otherwise this time, the King of Abilities would have truly succeeded."

"It was indeed very dangerous, but fortunately, we now know the King of Superpowers' purpose, so we can counter it in a targeted manner."

Death nodded and said, "The goal of the Shared Life and Death Line is to destroy the Negative King's trust in you. Therefore, as long as we take measures against the Negative King in advance, we can break the Superpower King's scheme."
