A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees - Chapter 658

Chapter 658: Did I Let You Run?

Translator: Lonelytree

In the astral plane.

Twin Paradise Ruins.

Under the various gazes of the gods.

In the end, the remnants of the Pentashade Dragon God Baruch’s astral body were devoured by Edmond’s head.

Baruch had been defeated so quickly.

On the one hand, it was because Edmond was using a very novel spell from another world, making it difficult to guard against.

On the other hand, it was also because his own astral body was barely enough to meet the standard of weak divine power.

As the bait for the operation of the Heavenly Palace.

Everyone present knew this.

Most of the well-informed people had already learned that Baruch’s God’s Vessel had been destroyed.

At this point.

The Pentashade Dragon God Baruch had lost two-thirds of his power. He might have to hide in his kingdom, Eternal Gathering Island, for a long time.

This was under the premise that the Alliance did not find trouble with him.

“Alright, Baruch has already received the punishment he deserves. Continuing to flaunt your strength at this time isn’t a wise choice.” The God of Light and Knowledge jumped out.

His tone was much colder than before.

” Mr. Edmond, I hope you can realize that the reason why we didn’t stop you was not because you were strong but because you bore the seal of another person.

“You shouldn’t be willful because of this. Instead, you should be more cautious.”

Edmond smiled.

Of course, he understood the fundamental reason why the gods feared him.

Isabelle, who had swallowed the Chaos Mystery Lock, was a super bomb.

He was the only one who could control the bomb.

The gods feared him.

In fact, they were afraid of the bomb on his body.

Edmond knew this better than anyone else.

He might even have gone one step further.

“Bombs are only threatening when they don’t explode.”

This was an important argument he used to convince Isabelle and the other mages of the Alliance.

As of now.

This argument was quite correct.

Immediately.

Edmond looked straight at the God of Light and Knowledge’s unfocused white pupils.

“Every day before this, I used the standards you mentioned to demand of myself.

“I believe that the Alliance of Seven Saints should represent absolute rationality and civilization.

“I think we should deal with everything without emotion.

“But I’m tired today.

“I don’t want to be so rational any more.

“Why can my teacher be willful, my peers willful, and my students willful?

“But I have to maintain absolute rationality?

“I had always hoped to find a relatively rational and win-win way to deal with matters between mages and gods.

“However, the result was that I failed to please either side.

“So today, I just want to say: “What does the destruction of the world have to do with me?” As soon as he said that.

The atmosphere in the ruins became even more tense.

The gods fell silent.

Edmond had always been the oil between the Alliance of Seven Saints and the

Heavenly Palace.

He always played the role of persuading everyone to look at the big picture.

However, when such a character showed his crazy side, it proved that the situation had indeed progressed to the point where they could not tolerate each other.

A moment later.

War God said coldly,

” That’s why I’ve said it before. Mages are all jackals of the same tribe. After removing your disguise, you’re exactly the same as your teacher!”

Edmond’s eyes lit up.

“That’s the best compliment I’ve heard today.” The Lord of Storm and Ocean said rudely,

“Stop talking nonsense!

“You know our needs and intentions. We have to enter the Prime Material Plane. Our roots are there!

‘ You guys need us too. The Heavenly Change is about to erupt. A group of mages can’t handle such a cosmic disaster!”

Edmond said calmly,

“Then follow my plan. All of you return to the Heavenly Palace first.

‘ You promise to give up all your divine power, divinity, and domains. We will give you a certain number of reincarnation channels at regular intervals. If you really want to return to the prime material plane, you won’t mind this plan, right?”

The God of Light and Knowledge sighed and said,

‘ As you can see, most of us have completely given up on divinity. If this continues, we won’t be able to survive in the outer planes for a long time.

“The Heavenly Palace has already shown their determination to stake everything on this. Do you really want to force us into a dead end?”

He then added,

” The reason why we are still negotiating is not because of you and Isabelle but because of that nameless Mage. He is the most qualified existence to represent the Calamity Mage, isn’t he?” Edmond nodded.

“You’re right.

However, the nameless Mage has never interfered with the Alliance’s decision-making on specific matters. This has always been his style.

He will only give us some suggestions that he thinks are feasible. The plan I drafted is based on his suggestions. At present, it is also the most likely agreement that both sides will accept and reach an agreement.”

War God said angrily,

” Your so-called win-win plan is that we lay down all our weapons and become your lambs to be slaughtered or even your slaves?”

Edmond did not back down as he mocked,

“Is it because you treated us like this before that you think we will treat you like that?

“The Seven Saint Alliance has always maintained an open attitude towards reincarnators. Regardless of whether they were gods or visitors from another world when they were alive, we did not interfere at all.. Of course, you all know this, don’t you?”
