Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate.

Chapter 992: Upside-down Tree
"What on earth is this?"

"Can such a life really exist?"

Under the giant fossil tree, Dorothy looked up and was shocked.

The fact that it could move him, who was now so despairing, showed how special this giant fossil tree was.

……

The giant fossil tree in front of Dorothy is actually a super giant banyan tree.

Its features are so obvious that even when it grows into a giant and turns into a pitch-black fossil, it can still be recognized at a glance.

……

The giant banyan tree fossil has not appeared "demonized" and still looks exactly like an ordinary banyan tree in the real world.

The only difference is that it has turned into a fossil.

It turned completely black, and many dry black lines appeared on it.

……

The strange thing is that these lines are clearly naturally grown, but they look like runes with extraordinary meanings.

Unfortunately, Dorothy was not well-educated and could not identify its origin.

If that were all, it certainly wouldn't be worth Dorothy's shock.

Not even any silver apostle would give it a second glance.

……

What really shocked Dorothy was that this was actually an "upside-down tree".

This giant banyan tree actually grows upside down, with its dense roots piercing into the sky, as if drawing energy from an unknown source.

Its branches and leaves are facing downwards, even touching the ground.

……

At first glance, it looks like a giant banyan tree that was fossilized, uprooted and placed upside down.

However, Dorothy, a silver apostle, knew clearly that the giant fossil tree in front of her was not really laid down, it was growing upside down.

He had never heard of such a magical thing before.

……

It would be fine if this was a rare or extremely precious tree species.

But it is just an ordinary banyan tree.

How is it possible for this species of tree to grow upside down?

Could it be that it also uses magnetic levitation, but does it the wrong way?
……

"Dorothy, don't you think it's incredible?"

"This is the sacred object that the Skull Society has used to offer sacrifices, the [Upside-Down Tree]!"

"Of course, I think another name is more suitable for it, that is [Tree of Stealing Life]."

"As the name suggests, it can [steal the power of heaven and create life]."

"If you look closely, you'll find all kinds of life patterns on its leaves!"

"If you want to call it the Tree of Life, that's fine too!"

……

Perez's voice appeared again.

However, this time, the voice did not appear in Dorothy's mind.

But it appeared in the real world.

Willia, who had been staying beside Dorothy, numb and silent, actually spoke.

But what came out of her was Perez's voice.

……

"Who are you now?"

"Villa or Perez?"

"No, the owner of the [Aphasia] bloodline cannot speak at will!"

"So you are Perez now!"

"But what about before?"

"Who was the one who spoke in my mind before?"

The moment Willia opened her mouth, Dorothy was stunned.

Because this was the first time he saw Willia speak since the two of them formed a team.

……

Although the voice that came out of Villa's mouth was Perez's.

But Dorothy, who had known some clues, was not shocked.

The only thing that puzzled Dorothy was that since Perez could speak through Villa's mouth, why did he "buzz" in his mind before.

……

Is it just to keep it secret?

Don’t want outsiders, or the nine Skull and Bones Society members, to hear it?

But why has it come to this?
……

"Dorothy, of course I am Vilia."

"The reason I can speak is because Perez took away my bloodline ability."

"As a price or exchange, his language ability is mine!"

"You don't need to be suspicious. We are on the same page. How could I possibly harm you?"

……

Perez's voice came out of Villa's mouth again.

It was clearly Perez who was "speaking", but Villa insisted that it was himself.

Although the explanation she gave was very reasonable and consistent with the equivalent exchange in the extraordinary world.

But Dorothy found it difficult to adapt to this strange "dislocation".

……

The reaction was so great that he felt a little dizzy.

Since the senses can no longer provide a basis for Dorothy's judgment.

He can only make judgments based on his reason.

……

After some analysis, Dorothy believed the first half of Villa's words.

Vilia should be herself.

Because Perez, who has always been arrogant and domineering, would never "give explanation" to him.

……

But Villa kept saying that he would not harm him, but Dorothy was skeptical.

When the ke group was destroyed, he was also forced to take action.

What's more, Villa's relationship with Perez is a bit "delicate" now, so it is even more difficult to believe it.

……

For example, even he, a noble of the Sin Blood Alliance, didn't know about the [Tree of Stealing Life] in front of him.

How did Villa recognize it?

This could only be what Perez told her!

……

"Dorothy, I really mean no harm to you!"

"After all, I still need you to gain supernatural powers."

"After Perez took my extraordinary bloodline, I lost my extraordinary powers."

"I want to regain my extraordinary powers. The only way is to load the Skull and Bones Society's [Template]!"

"Only you can help me with this matter."

……

Villa began to open up to Dorothy from the bottom of his heart.

After her explanation, Dorothy finally understood why Perez brought her to the Forest of All Living Things.

It turns out that this guy has set his sights on the three [Mythology Templates] developed by the Skull and Bones Society.

……

"Dorothy, we all know that it is not easy to obtain supernatural powers, especially powerful supernatural powers!"

"Even if those peripheral members of the Skull and Bones Society sacrificed half of their lives, they only gained a little bit of supernatural power."

"This is because the Skull and Bones Society made some venture capital investments and provided some extraordinary elements!"

"Although my life essence is stronger than that of an ordinary person, if I rely solely on sacrifice, I can only obtain a template at the [Controller] level at best!"

"I certainly won't accept this."

……

Velia's words were full of true feelings and such moving expressions.

This made Dorothy firmly believe that the guy in front of her was indeed not Perez.

The old Marquis always looked down on others and didn't even regard Dorothy as a human being.

How could it be so convincing and emotional?

……

"The Skull Society relied on the divine object [Inverted Tree] to create the Forest of All Living Things!"

“Although the Skeleton Society boasts that the [Life-Stealing Tree] can steal the power of heaven and create life!”

"But anyone with a bit of common sense would know that these guys are just trying to flatter themselves." "But they did use the [Inverted Tree] to create many powerful [Templates] of extraordinary life."

"Among them, the three [Mythical Life] templates are the most powerful!"

"The [Template] I want to obtain is one of them."

Villa told Dorothy her purpose without hiding anything and why only Dorothy could help her.

……

The more powerful the [Template] is, the more powerful the life source of the loader must be.

Also, more extraordinary elements need to be invested when loading.

Even when the Skull and Bones Society was at its peak, the extraordinary elements required to load the [Mythology Template] were not gathered.

It can be said that the three major [mythological templates] of the Skull and Bones Society only exist at the theoretical level.

……

Velia now wants to load the [Mythology Template], and there is only one way.

That is to sacrifice the many extraordinary bloodlines in Dorothy's body.

To be more precise, the extraordinary blood stored in the Golden Blood Tree is injected into the [Inverted Tree] to generate a mythical template.

In a sense, this can also be regarded as finding a "successor".

……

"Perez actually came up with this method to solve the hidden dangers of the Golden Bloodline Tree!"

"No wonder he dared to take such a huge risk and cooperate with the Skull and Bones Society!"

"But I don't know what the profit-sharing ratio was in the previous cooperation plan?"

Even though Dorothy hated Perez so much.

But after listening to Velia's story, I couldn't help but admit that the old man was really powerful.

……

The greedy Perez originally planned to completely devour all the extraordinary bloodlines of the Sin Blood Alliance.

As a result, he ate too much or had indigestion.

This is because the Sin Blood Alliance has too many and too mixed extraordinary bloodlines, and they are also cursed.

……

Since Perez can't eat it, due to the existence of the covenant, the cursed blood on the Golden Blood Tree will sooner or later flow back into his body.

Perez's fate can be imagined.

The time point when the cursed blood flows back is the death of Dorothy, the carrier.

That's why Dorothy wanted to die, because then he could take Perez with him to be buried with him.

……

It’s a pity that old man Perez also knew this very well, so Dorothy couldn’t die.

But sooner or later, Dorothy would inevitably die.

This is not something Perez can change.

If Perez wants to survive, he can only completely solve the hidden danger of the golden bloodline tree before Dorothy dies.

……

Dorothy thought Perez would not find a way. After all, if the covenant was easy to dissolve, the Sin Blood Alliance would have disbanded long ago.

I never expected that old man Perez was so lucky.

He actually found a breakthrough through the mechanism of finding "successors".

……

"Although Perez didn't reveal his true colors when he was working with the Skull and Bones Society!"

"But because we took the initiative to come to them, the Skull and Bones Society still asked for a high profit ratio of 3:2."

"But this is not the point. The point is that the Skull and Bones Society has set its sights on Perez's [Ancestor Gene] and demanded that the data be shared."

"Perez naturally refused, and the two sides got into a tug of war."

"As a result, the Skeleton Club brought about its own death and the ship sank directly."

……

Villa described in detail the details of Perez's cooperation with the Skull and Bones Society.

Because the voices were so similar, Dorothy felt as if it was Perez himself standing in front of her.

But how is this possible?

That old guy won't "expose his own weaknesses".

……

"Dorothy, the reason why I know all this is because of some kind of fusion with Perez!"

"You should know this too."

"Originally, I should have been completely devoured, but who made the Skull and Bones Society disappear?"

"This way, Perez can monopolize the three [Mythology Templates]."

"He naturally needs more carriers."

Vilia obviously realized the doubts in Dorothy's heart.

So she didn't wait for Dorothy to speak and pointed it out herself.

Such frankness made Dorothy feel that she was a little mean.

……

"Dorothy, fusing the [Myth Template] is our only chance to turn things around!"

"If Perez wants to solve the Golden Bloodline Tree, he will definitely find a way to inject the cursed bloodline inside into the template."

"Your cooperation is crucial in this process!"

"If you are willing to cooperate, he will agree to give you a [Mythology Template]."

"If you refuse to cooperate, he will at best squander the gift of nature and inject all of your cursed blood into other low-level templates."

"The means he used on you are enough to do it."

……

Velia's words were very clear. Perez intended to inject the power of the Golden Bloodline Tree into the three [Mythological Templates].

Both Vilia and Dorothy will obtain a [Mythology Template].

However, this was not Perez's kindness. On the contrary, the old guy was still full of malice.

……

Because he obviously wanted to fatten the pigs before killing them.

Perez wanted to wait until Vilia and Dorothy merged the [Myth Template] before devouring them.

Perez had already controlled them, and thought that even if the two loaded the [Myth Template], they would never be able to turn the tables.

……

This is what Villarreal meant by a chance to turn things around.

As long as you integrate the [Myth Template], you will become a life of law.

They may not be unable to escape Perez's control.

At least there is a possibility of winning the bet, unlike now, where I can only sink in despair.

……

Dorothy naturally understood what Villa said.

Whether the gambling game starts depends entirely on his decision.

If he cooperates with Perez, the old guy will plot the three [Mythological Templates].

This is the best way to utilize the Golden Bloodline Tree.

……

If Dorothy doesn't cooperate, Perez will probably nail her to the [Tree of Life] and then extract all her cursed bloodline into the low-level template bit by bit.

This is definitely an experience worse than death.

Dorothy made the decision in her mind with almost no consideration.

He bet!
……

But what Dorothy wondered was why Perez didn't negotiate with him personally?
What is this old guy doing now?
Although the confusion on Dorothy's face only flashed for a moment, Willia still understood it.

……

"Dorothy, you should know in your heart why I am talking to you about this."

"That old guy looks down on you and doesn't even bother to discuss anything with you."

"But he is so greedy that he has no choice but to compromise with you!"

"So I have to come forward."

"Of course, it's just one of the trivial reasons!"

"The truth is that the old man is hiding the secret and preparing for the next round of operations."

"After all, the third carrier he chose was the Silver Apostle of the Tianwu Spell Academy!"

"You can never be too cautious with this kind of thing."

……

Villa's words made Dorothy angry and furious, because Dorothy knew very well that the old man Perez just looked down on her.

He, who calls himself a dragon, would never negotiate with an ant like himself.

……

As the anger in her heart grew, Dorothy's determination to take the gamble became stronger.

Even if he had to risk his life, he would make sure that old man fell into the gutter.
