Anime Group Chat: The Tree of Life Contract Heroine of All Worlds

"But if that were the case, humans would become devoid of desires and become no different from machines. They would have no opinions of their own, nor any other thoughts. They wouldn't even do simple things like resting, eating, or drinking. If you wanted the whole society to function, you would have to be ordered around. But that would shatter the utopian ideal."

Gabriel sighed.

"This kind of thing can only be considered a pseudo-utopia."

"I didn't expect a fallen angel to know so much?"

Suddenly, Frillie blurted out a sentence.

Gabrielle could no longer hold back her anger and wanted to retort immediately, but she held back because Rosen was right there.

He could only secretly think to himself how to retaliate in the group chat later.

The other girls, however, seemed unsurprised.

Frilian and Gabriel often bicker, but in reality, they have a good relationship. Gabriel often invites Frilian to her house to play games together.

"I will try it myself, no matter what."

Machima sighed.

After Rias finished speaking, she could only believe half of what he said, but after Rosen finished speaking, she believed ninety-nine percent of what he said.

As for the final one percent, it was purely due to my own insistence.

"So the reason Miss Machima was assassinated is because other countries didn't agree with your ideas, right?"

Fubuki's attitude was also somewhat radical.

After all, if Machima really had this intention, she was using them as pawns.

If her older sister were there, she might have simply quit long ago, seeing how stubborn Machima was.

"Not only that, many of those assassins who came from other countries have grudges against me."

"Machima said."

"I have many enemies, but for several countries to send assassins here, it must be more than just a simple personal grudge."

Esdeath, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Machima fell silent.

She glanced at Rosen subtly, and when she realized he had no intention of speaking, she sighed deeply.

She spent her whole life scheming against others, so it's normal that she would be hated by others.

But the real reason she was hated by almost everyone was her identity.

As Makima revealed her identity, the group members who had only watched the first season of the anime were utterly astonished.

Rias did sense something.

As a fellow demon, she could sense the difference in Machima.

Just like those evil monsters that were sealed away in past wars.

Of everyone, only Rosen and Gabriel remained expressionless.

Seeing their expressions, Saeko Busujima asked curiously, "Did Lord Rosen and Miss Gabriel already know?"

"It seems they were deliberately keeping it from us."

After finishing the small cake, Frillie rubbed her stomach. Although she still wanted to eat more, she couldn't eat anymore.

I wish I could learn the magic to make food digest quickly.

Chapter 222 Utopia?

A few minutes later, as Machima recounted her story, everyone finally understood the significance of the other's existence.

Indeed, it is not the purpose, but the meaning of existence.

Machima is not human, but a demon that first appeared in the human world and was born from the concept of domination.

From the moment she was born, Machima had only one purpose in mind: to dominate others.

In order to achieve her goal, she signed a contract with the minister of the island nation.

Machima will become the force protecting the island nation, and in order to prevent Machima from dying, the island nation's minister will sacrifice the lives of all its citizens as Machima's scapegoat.

To put it simply, when Machima dies, her death is randomly transferred to a resident of the island nation to take her place.

Therefore, unless all the citizens of the island nation die, Machima is immortal.

But Machima's purpose goes far beyond that.

She wanted to build a truly equal society, a utopian world.

However, as the most primal form of domination, Machima's only power is to dominate others.

In the original work, in order to achieve her goal, she cooperated with the Chainsaw Demon, who was able to seal other demons. Because she was a controlling demon, she could only control the Chainsaw Demon to achieve her goal.

That's all I can say.

Machima breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought she would keep her true intentions to herself, but I didn't expect her to reveal them so soon.

Moreover, after saying it out loud, I actually felt a bit relieved.

After she finished speaking, the girls fell into a long silence.

Many people looked at Machima with strange expressions.

I never expected that one of my group members would be such a devil with a special identity.

"Wouldn't it be very painful to live like this forever?"

After a long silence, Marushir said with a sigh.

“For me, emotions like pain don’t exist. All I can do is dominate others, and to be honest, I still want to dominate you all right now.”

Makima shook her head.

She is not human; she does not possess the rich emotions of a human being.

Upon hearing this, Marushir leaned back in fear.

However, Frilian shrugged: "Don't be afraid. If she wanted to do it, she would have done it already. The reason she hasn't made a move yet is probably because she can't control us."

Is it because of the chat group?

Fubuki Road.

When the chat group's time travel function was first enabled, everyone saw the rule that group members could not harm each other, so they subconsciously believed that Machima could not control them, which is the same reason.

However, Machima shook her head: "Domination is not an attack, but a concept, just like the relationship between superiors and subordinates in a company or government. The chairman directs the manager, is that a form of harm?"

Upon hearing this, the women realized just how outrageous Machima's power of control was.

"Although I can only control those weaker than myself, I can easily weaken everyone except Lord Rosen if I want to use my power."

"So what exactly happened to you?"

Upon hearing this, all the girls frowned.

They felt that Machima wasn't the good person they imagined, but what bad person would reveal their plans and intentions so openly?

Is it because of Gabriel?

That's also unlikely.

If the goal is simply to get them to come over and see their true colors, there's absolutely no need to do this.

“I found another way through Lord Rosen. If he can assist me, my plan will be more likely to succeed than Plan A.”

What is Plan A?

"Marushir asked."

"Plan A is to dominate the chainsaw demon, then devour the other demons and seal away the concepts they represent."

It wasn't Machima who was explaining, but Gabriel.

At this point, she looked at the composed Rosen.

"Boss, you knew about Machima all along?"

From this point on, Gabriel had no idea what happened next.

After all, reality has been completely disrupted by the intrusion of chat groups.

Moreover, according to the original storyline, the part where Machima is attacked by various countries is still a long way off.

But this happened ahead of schedule.

The chainsaw demon seen in the first episode of the animation is nowhere to be found.

So either Machima didn't come into contact with the Chainsaw Demon, or she did, but decided he wasn't important anymore and simply ignored him.

But regardless of the circumstances, one thing is certain: Machima has placed all its bets on Lawson.

After all, in the assassination plot, Makima could indeed die if she wasn't careful.

Even though she made a pact with the minister, granting her the power to transfer death to any random citizen, the one who made the move in that particular storyline was the primal demon – the Dark Demon.

Humans have always feared the dark, which is why they created fire. Yet, even today, the fear of the dark remains deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The fear of thousands of years has been amplifying the power of the Dark Demon.

It should be noted that the Demon of the Gun has only existed for a century, yet it possesses the power to kill millions of people in minutes.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Dark Demon is one of the fundamental demons at the top level.

Although Makima is a demon ruler, she is not qualified to challenge the Dark Demon.

"I understand, you deliberately spread those messages."

Rias said solemnly.

"Yes."

Machima readily admitted it.

"If I'm not mistaken, they should have located me and are trying to kill me."

"You guy..."

A hint of anger flashed across Rias's face.

"I never expected to be tricked on my first group task. (Zhao Deqian) I'm really unlucky."

Tokisaki Kurumi sighed.

"Hey, don't be angry. Since Miss Machima has been honest, she certainly didn't mean to harm us. After all, even if we are free now, we can return to our original world at any time."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Marushir came out with an awkward smile to smooth things over.

Frillie yawned: "If you don't apologize properly, I'll consider you an enemy too, even if you're a member of the group."

"Quiet down, everyone. Mr. Rosen already guessed this. She can use us, so why don't you trust him?"

Fubuki stepped in to smooth things over.

However, after he was brought up, the others did indeed fall silent.

"In short, let's get the mission reward first before worrying about merit."

Rosen finished.

A group task notification pops up on each person's chat panel.
