Chapter 3428 Offering a Plan
"You will see it, and it won't be long."
Andrew laughed and said, "Let's begin. The King of Negativity is also making preparations. We need to be faster than him."
The God of Stars nodded: "Understood."
Andrew was right. The King of Negativity was also making preparations, but His preparations were not going very smoothly. He still could not contact the Iron Tree and Poseidon.
The magic circle for cooperating with Sithon is almost ready. Under the command of the Tree of Time, the Lord of Negation secretly made some changes to it to ensure that Sithon will not be able to sense it during the first summoning.
"My king, I am not questioning the Tree of Time, but is this really possible?"
Zatana cautioned, "That's Sithon. He personally set up this magic circle. How could we possibly tamper with it without him noticing? The King of Superpowers might be able to do that, but can the Tree of Time really?"
The King of Negativity hesitated. To be honest, He also felt that this was not very reliable, but since the Tree of Time said it was effective, He could only give it a try—there was no other way.
The original idea was so much better: get the Iron Tree and Poseidon to help, forcefully suppress Sithon, and seize the God of the Stars. There was no need to do anything underhanded. Now, all we can do is take risks and gamble.
"It would be good to be able to gamble, but the problem now is that there is no opportunity to gamble. With my own strength, I simply cannot defeat the God of Stars in a short period of time."
The King of Negativity was in a real bind. In the short term, Sithon might not be able to detect that the God of Stars had descended, but given enough time, it was impossible for Sithon not to sense it.
"Commander, now is not the time to worry about this."
The King of Negativity shook his head and explained the difficulties he was facing, asking Zatana to see if there was a solution. The Tree of Time was also trying to come up with a solution, but had not yet come up with a suitable strategy.
This is also why the Negative King didn't ask Zatana before. In His mind, the wisdom of the Tree of Time is higher than that of the Great Head Commander. If the Tree of Time can't come up with a solution, what solution could the Great Head Commander possibly have?
The reason for asking Zatana now is that even the Tree of Time can't help, and given the urgency, the Lord of Negation is doing it as a last resort, asking one more question.
“My king, this is not difficult.”
To the King of Negativity's surprise, Zatana laughed and said, "Go to Death and let Him help you."
“Death? He is a staunch ally of Sithon, how could he possibly help me? If I go to him, he will only tell Sithon what happened.”
The King of Negativity shook his head repeatedly, saying that Zatana's idea was absolutely terrible.
“My king, it is true that death is a staunch ally of Sithon, but what true friendship can a wicked person have?”
Zatana said, "Betrayal is normal as long as the benefits are sufficient. They didn't betray each other before because their interests were aligned, but their interests are not aligned when it comes to the Compound V Tree."
Death has no interest in the Tree of Compound V. As long as you give Him enough benefits and make the matter seem trivial, it's perfectly normal for Him to take action once.
Sithon wouldn't turn against death because of this, because Sithon himself was like that, and he understood death.
What you said seems to make some sense.
The King of Negativity's eyes lit up. He thought for a moment and said, "There's no other way now. I'll try to contact Death and hope He will agree. However, His appetite is definitely not small. This time, I estimate I'll have to pay a lot."
"My king, consider this a small investment."
Zatana laughed and said, "Winning over Death isn't a big problem. The real issues are keeping it from Xisorn and whether the God of Stars will take the bait. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about those two things."
"The Tree of Time says there's no problem, so there should be no problem."
Although the plan went wrong, the King of Negativity still believed in the Tree of Time, after all, the other party was indeed very wise, just a bit lacking in attitude.
Zatana didn't say much upon hearing this. She didn't expect to defeat the Tree of Time with just a few words. This was just planting a seed; once the Tree of Time suffered repeated defeats, these seeds would come into play.
The Lord of Negativity now values and trusts the Tree of Time more because He believes the Tree of Time is wiser. If Zatana can prove to be smarter than the Tree of Time, the Lord of Negativity will surely choose her.
After all, Zatana was much more polite and 'loyal' than the Tree of Time.
Next, the King of Negativity contacted Death, recounting the events in a half-truthful manner and requesting Death's help.
Death asked with a half-smile, "King of Negativity, don't you know that I and Sithon are staunch allies? You actually want me to help you plot against Sithon?"
“Death, I did not intend to assassinate Sithon. I was just worried that Sithon would seize the initiative, completely suppress me, and leave me with nothing.”
The King of Negativity said, "So, I would like to ask you to help me subdue the first Compound V tree, so that I will no longer be so wary of Xisorn."
Of course, Sithon will also gain something; of the five Compound V trees, he will surely obtain at least one.
These words are naturally false. The Negative King did all this so that Sithon wouldn't even get a single Compound V tree. But Death doesn't know any of this. What the Negative King said is quite logical.
It's perfectly normal to want to have a backup plan when cooperating with Sithon; death is entirely understandable. He said, "I told you, Sithon and I are staunch allies."
The King of Negativity's lips twitched slightly. He wasn't stupid; the meaning of death was clear: "More money is needed."
The King of Negativity said, "Death, if you help me once, I will give you ten Negativity Commanders and the legions they lead."
You should know that as the apocalypse progresses, the strength of the Negative Leaders and Negative Legions will only increase; ten legions are truly a lot.
Death is tempted; He has been wreaking havoc in Africa, and if He had ten negative legions under His command, He would be even more efficient.
“Not enough,” Death thought for a moment and said, “I also need a branch from you.”
"You want my branch?"
The King of Negativity was taken aback, then said, "Death, if you feel it's not enough, I can give you a few more legions, but my branches, that's absolutely impossible."
"Since it's impossible, then forget it. It's fine, I don't want to offend Sithon anyway."
The indifferent voice of death clearly indicated that He had the Lord of Negation figured out. Although it was unclear why the Lord of Negation didn't seek help from the Iron Tree and Poseidon, the fact that He had come to Him, an ally of Sithon, suggested that He had no other options.
Since the King of Negativity has no other options, death is the only way to deal with him; he is no saint.
