Chapter 404: It was over

"However- choose us- and you shall live forever. And with your honor of becoming the god of the new era, we shall award you with one thousand years of peace and when you're bored of this world, we shall offer you the place in heaven as the new leader of the new age of the gods. Your friends-" they all stared at Selis, Ashirnae, and the rest. "Are welcome as well."

Wow, so the tree thought of the gods as my friends and not its children.

Ouch.

'So, it's afraid of us…'

"Very tempting," the spirit whispered. "But it's your choice."

Everyone looked at me. 

They didn't say anything. 

Just stared.

"Tell me, what happens to the world after you consume it?"

They did not answer me. rather- "Now, let us hear your answer."

Yeah, I still got my answer. 

I had some doubts. 

But who knew this damn tree would just come out of its way to piss me off and- clear everything?
