What is the seed of the World Tree?

Seeds come from fruits, but they are different from fruits.

If the fruit is left untouched for a hundred years, the seed absorbs all the fruit and becomes one. That is the seed of the whole world tree.

But it’s not just a matter of time alone. If that were the case, perhaps the World Tree could have existed in all dimensions.

It is not just the pulp that the seeds inside the fruit absorb.

Seeds cannot germinate only under the influence of fruit flesh. The same goes for the mana around you.

The World Tree infuses regular energy steadily for over a hundred years, when the fruit becomes a perfect seed. In a way, it can be said to be the essence of the World Tree, or the life force of the World Tree.

The important thing is that the 100 years is a very hard time for the world tree, and they say that they have to live as if they were dead for a while even after they are married. That is why many World Trees do not want to set seeds well.

So World Trees only produce at least one, and at most three, seeds in their lifetime.

That was Julia’s explanation.

“Still, if the mother tree lived for 10,000 years, she must have made at least one extra seed.”

No matter how great the world tree is, it is not omnipotent after all. Even though there is a world tree, there is a dimension that is in charge of the end, so it is said that the world trees are always holding on to one seed in preparation for drugs.

In the case of Daydram, that was Lily.

“But I don’t think I will give it to you.”

“Didn’t Kraft’s mother tree say that she was investing in the warden that day? Ask them to invest in seeds.”

“What if I don’t give it to you?”

“You have to get it at any cost.”

“Are you a high elf?”

“I respect the mother tree, but I know what is more important now. I realized more after seeing how the mother trees were treated during the vaccine war. The vaccine war must disappear.”

Seeing that it led to an extremely high elf-like idea, the high elf was right.

“In the end, you’re asking me to serve as a knight again.”

“It can’t be helped, is it? Right now, the vaccine war is like a hedgehog with its thorns erect, so I have to be careful and careful again.”

“You must be looking for me with the light on in your eyes, but if you wander around in this situation, no matter how much you say me, you will get caught!”

“Even if you don’t go out, you will get caught if you don’t finish properly.”

When the gods are discovered, all plans go awry. The meaning of Durishma revealing some of herself is also gone.

“···Shit. great. Let’s say you get the seeds. And what next? Seeds can’t germinate in a day or two, right? Unless the anti-vaccination bastards are idiots, there’s no way they’ll stay still for months when 51 Enforcers are after them.”

“I think I can handle that.”

Julia quietly raised her hand.

“how?”

“Did I get a god? The power over wind and nature has been strengthened. If I take care of them, the germination time will be greatly shortened. And Lily’s mother tree said that she was also with us.”

“Wait, now that I think about it, does it make sense that there are two World Trees in one dimension? Are you condoning that?”

Another objection from Albenius was subdued by Lily.

– Dosae. Joa. me. take care

The fat Lily nodded as if it were natural.

“It’s possible, Lord Albenius. The reason there is only one mother tree per dimension is that they cannot compete with each other.”

The roots of the World Tree extend throughout the dimension. In the process, the mana of the dimension is used as food and reduced again to further enrich the mana.

However, when it becomes two trees, they only swallow each other’s mana, and the vicious cycle continues. It’s kind of a zero-sum game. In the realm of dimensions, the number of people is set at one person, but the number of people increases.

However, that can also be solved if mana is abundant enough that one tree cannot handle it.

“Because we have gods.”

From the original to abundant mana due to the advantage of being a whopping six gods and cross-dimensional.

Planting three trees instead of two was no problem.

– Babbler.

Lily urged Albenius as if she wanted to get rid of it quickly.

“…I can’t help it.”

“I still have some leeway. It’s been a week since I caught four gods, but the fact that the pre-vaccine guys aren’t showing any reaction means that the numbers I threw worked.”

They bit the bait.

You’re probably scrambling to find an imaginary enemy among the monsters by now. And one day you’ll realize that it’s not just virtual.

The time depends on the capacity of Durishma.

“It means they don’t have time to worry about us.”

“Isn’t that mere speculation?”

“Of course, there’s a good chance he’s still not taking his eyes off me.”

The same goes for continuing to search for Albenius. But anyway, I have no choice but to go.

Judging from the path of the vaccine war that morbidly destroys their rivals, Yulia’s existence approaches them on a different level.

The moment it is revealed that she is a god, Vaccinator will try to kill her at any cost. Kim Woo-jin Unlike him, he is not bound by a contract, so he has nothing to hold back.

“…I can’t help it. I have to go.”

Since it was Albenius, the living witness, he nodded his head obediently.

“But isn’t it a different story from me going to get the seeds of the mother tree?”

“It’s the same story after all. After all, the purpose of holding the gods is to give birth to new gods here.”

In order to hide Yulia’s divinity, there must be no restraints. You can’t just give them the power of the gods of the executioners.

The spirit of the World Tree had to be overlaid on top of it. Only then can you deceive the god. If even one of the three beats is out of order, it becomes meaningless.

In order to do that, the world tree must not be drawn, and the existence of the gods must not be exposed in order not to give the gods a justification. It’s a story that goes on.

“The question is whether Kraft’s world tree will give seeds or not.”

“To be or not to be.”

“what?”

“If there is, I will bring it by any means. Even if it is rooted out.”

“Isn’t that something to say in front of the spirit of the world tree and the high elves?”

“At any cost, the high elf said it first, not me.”

“···I am! I’ll try. Please be kind to me before I root it out.”

Realizing that persuasion from Kim Woo-jin’s eyes was impossible, Yulia made up her mind.

Of course, the mother tree is a bit reluctant, but I can’t let the mother tree die.

* * *

– I think I heard it wrong.

Pass the seeds?

“I heard you right.”

– Aha, so I really want you to hand over the seeds?

The reindeer laughed.

– Are you crazy?

yes it must be crazy Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare try to rob the world tree of seeds.

– Previously, anti-vaccinator bastards searched my territory like this, but now the enforcer covets the seeds?

Kuggug, the trees started to rise due to the wrath of the world tree. Ent. Spirits originating from plants that have been receiving the spirit of the world tree for a long time.

“Is it a refusal?”

– So you thought you’d take that bullshit?

“Didn’t you say you wanted to invest?”

– Investment and extortion are completely different laws. You need to learn a little more manners.

“Wait, wait!”

At that time, Yulia intervened between Kim Woo-jin and the World Tree.

“Didn’t you say you were entrusting this task to me?”

“…well, let’s do that. Oh, and I apologize for the harsh language. The situation was a bit urgent, so I spit it out without even realizing it.”

Kim Woo-jin took a step back.

– ···It’s absurd, but I’ll accept your apology.

– You are a child from another dimension that I saw then.

“Hello, Mother Tree. It’s been a while. I will make a formal request. Please. We need the seed of the mother tree.”

– why?

– I don’t know exactly who you guys are or why I need you.

– But isn’t it strange to just give seeds?

That sounds right. However, Yulia knew that there was a blind spot there.

“You really don’t know anything?”

– I’m guessing to some extent.

“Then you know. Wouldn’t someone like Mother Tree say that she guesses when she doesn’t even know?”

– Hmm.

It was a straight line.

– You’re pretty bold.

– Then how about this? Not long before you came, five pre-vaccination gods came. You’re looking for a traitor. It’s not just me, it’s attacking world trees in all dimensions.

– But unfortunately, you guys came now.

“Is information what you want in exchange for investment?”

– You asked for an investment? This is just preliminary information that you must know before investing. can’t be paid

“But if you say that you only listen to information and don’t invest, we’re in trouble, right?”

– Isn’t that the investor’s mind?

In general, yes. However, Yulia and Kim Woo-jin were not in a normal situation.

“No.”

– No?

“What the mother tree wants is the secret of the complex universe in which many gods are intertwined. Isn’t it more like a bully to hear that stuff for free?”

– I’m a bully?

“Oh, sorry. The words came out in vain.”

– you···!

The reindeer raised its eyes.

“Anyway, if you give me a seed, I can tell you anything you want. Of course, you have to swear that you won’t tell anyone.”

– The world has changed a lot. How dare the high elves scare me.

“I’m not intimidating you, I’m asking you a favor. Are you guessing the identity? You know how he will come out if you swindle information, right?”

– I am the world tree. My roots cover the entire dimension, and their tips touch the Akashic Records.

– But do you dare to threaten me in my area?

A light flashed in the reindeer’s eyes. A wave of branches arose.

“I’m sorry if it sounded like that. But please do me a favor just this once. It’s all for Mother Tree. You must trust me completely. I’m a high elf. I never do anything harmful to the mother tree.”

– Are you going to talk nonsense like that?

– I have nothing more to say with you.

The reindeer pushed Yulia away.

– You are probably the director of Purgatory, Kim Woo-jin. right?

“If not?”

– Do you think I’m stupid?

– There are things I have seen and heard. This isn’t a question, it’s a conviction.

“Am I coming out like that even though I know I’m Kim Woo-jin?”

– You are the one who underestimates the World Tree too much.

– Again, this is my territory.

“You didn’t intend to accept it in the first place.”

– I don’t know if you’re the god or executor of the anti-vaccination war, but since I’m their enemy, will I gain anything by holding your hand?

“yes.”

Kim Woo-jin nodded. I can’t help it more than this I should burn it and throw away the remaining traces of the monster.

Actually, when I came to Kraft, I expected it to be like this. Because the world tree never gives its seeds to just anyone. Even more so if he knew his identity.

That’s why it went hard from the beginning.

“The future outcome is what you brought upon yourself. So, endure it with evil.”

Kim Woo-jin lit a spark.

– You’re talking about a dog that was defeated and tied up by God!

“···therefore.”

The world water was shaken. The moment the flames and trees were about to collide, Yulia blocked them again.

“That means no!”

Yulia’s hidden energy exploded in one fell swoop. Ents were crushed by the vast mana and divine power. The reindeer jumped out.

– ···you. how?

The trees escaped from the control of the World Tree and followed Yulia. The tree rebelled against the leader of the tree.

The pupils of the reindeer shook at that shocking sight.

“How do you plan to deal with the warden when you don’t even notice what kind of person I am in that prestigious area?”

Yulia took a step closer. The reindeer involuntarily backed away.

“Even in the region!”

“You’re weaker than me!”

“The mother tree is only this much!”

Trees all at once withdrew to make way.

“The warden said that even ten people like me couldn’t win, so please just give me some seeds.”

Julia growled.

“If you don’t want me to take the seed and inherit the position of the mother tree.”

– ······.

The reindeer involuntarily nodded.

* * *

“What a relief. through words.”

Yulia let out a sigh of relief and placed the seed of the world tree into the foam.

“…does it make sense?”

If it was going to be like this, wouldn’t it be the same even if I threatened you? Kim Woo-jin thought.

“I couldn’t help it. The more you talk, the more suspicious you become. Most of all, what should I do if I know the director’s identity and have no will to negotiate? I have to threaten you.”

“Who would consider you a high elf?”

“It was all for the mother tree. Didn’t the warden start by burning a few branches first?”

“…”

I thought so.

Because there is no more effective method than taking and pressing while directly showing the difference in strength.

“But because I did it, there was no physical conflict.”

“Well, let it be.”

“I wrote the contract, so you’ll keep it a secret, right?”

“I have to keep it. As long as you have roots in Akishik Records, you will understand the rules of the contract better.”

Before leaving after receiving the seeds, Kim Woo-jin took out the Akashic Records contract and drew up a confidentiality agreement.

This is because it would be difficult for Kraft’s World Tree to hold a grudge and reveal information about Kim Woo-jin before the vaccine.

“Well, good is good.”

“Yes.”

“And something is wrong.”

“What?”

“I’m confident that I can win even if 10 people like you come, not 10 people.”

“No, that’s what it says. words.”

Yulia put on a puzzled expression.

“It’s always good to be certain. Didn’t this division happen because the world capital also vaguely drew lines?”

“That’s right. …but really less than 100? I’m still a rookie, right? Are you used to it now?”

“It’s still a hundred years too early.”

“Hasn’t the warden not lived a hundred years yet?”

“I heard that Albenius is waiting somewhere.”

“Uh, wait a minute, come to think of it, how old are you, Warden?”

“Let’s leave quickly before the gods notice. Urgent.”

“Chief!”

Yulia hurriedly followed Kim Woo-jin, who hurried on.

– Diane! Salt all the ground they step on!

“Yes, mother tree.”

– Don’t come again! Don’t ever appear in front of me again!

The world tree that was humiliated opened the crane.
