In the end, Sim returned to Xander dejectedly with four captives and more than 70,000 sinful souls. He was prepared to be beaten up by Saber and was even prepared to be punished. However, to his surprise, Saber was not as angry as he thought he would be when he heard that the Universal Orb had been lost.
There was even a slight smile on his face.
This made Sim very nervous.
This time, after Seiber woke up, the way he did things was a little strange. He was no longer the cheerful and stubborn tyrant he used to be. To be more precise, he had become colder and more decisive in his actions, which made him even more frightening.
Sim had witnessed Shadow Angel Gabriel's fate from start to finish. In a single confrontation, Shadow Angel Gabriel's body and soul had been completely incinerated. She had died without a proper burial ground. Such an outcome was enough to terrify anyone.
"You're Groot?"
In the command hall of Xander, which had just been cleaned, Saber walked around the Ent twice. He reached out and curiously touched Groot's shoulder. He could feel that the vines that made up Groot's body were alive. They were not a whole life like he had imagined. How should he put it?
Groot himself was a strange life form made up of hundreds of living vines. A powerful consciousness commanded these vines, like a higher life form. Saber guessed that even if these vines were completely dead, Groot would be reborn in another form.
After all, the life energy in the Ent's body had reached the limit.
The limit of a single universe! In terms of life order, Groot should be on the same level as those gods, but now, he could only use a negligible amount of power. This made Seiber very curious.
In response to Saber's question, Groot reached out and scratched his head. He glanced at Rocket, who was being treated in the healing chamber left behind by the Xander people. He nodded and said in a low voice.
"My name is Groot!"
"Can you control the growth of life?"
Syber rubbed his chin. The moment he saw Groot, he naturally thought of another place, so he opened his mouth and asked, "What about Groot?
"You should be able to. I can feel it. Come, show me!"
Groot didn't suspect anything. He squatted down and pointed his finger at the ground in front of Saber. A yellow flower quickly grew from the ground. Groot plucked it and handed it to Saber as if he was giving a gift to Saber. His black eyes were full of friendliness.
"I'm Groot!"
He said this sentence over and over again. Different tones seemed to represent different meanings, but at present, only Rocket could understand Groot's voice for some reason.
"Wow … It's like a miracle."
Saber reached out and took the real flower in his hand. He put it under his nose and sniffed. He could smell the fragrance of the natural soil, even though there was no soil here.
"You are indeed the embodiment of a certain planet's natural will … the chosen king of nature and plants!"
Saber was pleasantly surprised. He looked at Groete in front of him and asked:
"After everything here is over, would you like to go with me? I have a new planet. I need your ability to make it prosperous and full of life. You can also treat it as your home … I welcome you and your friends to live there! We will be the strongest allies! "
Groot undoubtedly understood Saber's description, but he seemed a little hesitant. A touch of sadness flashed in his eyes, and even his mood became low.
"My name is Groot …"
"Wow, you know I can't understand you …"
Saber had a headache. It was very difficult to make a plant polymer speak. It was already amazing that Groot could say this sentence. He thought about it and said to Groot:
"Come on, look up at my eyes!"
Groete raised his head and saw Saber's eyes lit with the blue Ash Cross. The next moment, he felt a consciousness as vast as the sea of stars trying to enter his soul. The Ent hesitated for a moment and opened his soul. The next moment, his sad past was shown in front of Saber.
It was a planet with lush plants that seemed to have no human life. Huge plants occupied the whole world. Groete was one of them. He lived without worries for thousands of years until a destructive fire fell from the sky. It was a war between two interstellar civilizations. Groete's world was only affected, but it was still scorched by the destructive weapons. Hundreds of years later, Groete, who inherited the natural consciousness of the whole world, was born again from the scorched earth, but that world had become dead.
Groete entered the Star Field in despair. He was lucky. In his first trip, he met the sharp-tongued but soft-hearted Rocket. The latter was an experimental body that escaped from a technological planetary laboratory. From then on, the two lonely guys became best friends. Groete, who was at a loss, was brought into the ranks of the bounty hunters by the daring Rocket. They lived a homeless life until now.
Saber also understood what the Ent was worried about. He was worried about the arrival of another destruction. He did not want to experience loneliness again.
"Come on! Groete, come with me to see our future home! "
Seiber called out in his mind and displayed his last memory before leaving Utopia in front of Groot. When the amalgamation of plant consciousnesses saw the tranquil world of Utopia with the three moons, it was filled with yearning and joy.
Saber showed the scene of him completely destroying hell in front of the simple-minded Ent. He said softly:
"No one will destroy your new home … I and many others will protect it! Groete … I need you. Otherwise, it will take a long time for that world to slowly prosper. That is a world that needs you! "
"My name is Groete?"
It was the same sentence, but this time, Saber understood what he meant. He was asking if that place really existed.
Saber nodded:
"Yes, you can see it for yourself after I'm done with the things here."
Saber's consciousness returned to his body. He looked at the Ent, who nodded solemnly at him. This time, he said something different:
"We are Groete …"
If he was facing people like Yondu and Quill who had experienced mutual deception, Saber wouldn't treat them with such honesty. Opening up to strangers who knew nothing didn't mean that he was good at communicating. It only meant that he lacked understanding of the darkness of human nature and was too idealistic.
However, facing a simple-minded plant lifeform like Groot, a frank conversation would be more effective. Seeing that Groot had agreed, Seiber snapped his fingers. Daitengu, who was holding a book, suddenly appeared in the command center.
Saber said in a deep voice:
"Daitengu, from now on, put down everything in your hands. You will protect Groete. He is a link that can't be ignored for the eternal prosperity of the future Utopia. His strength will be very dangerous to deal with some troubles, so any stranger who tries to harm or approach Groete, kill!"
"Yes!"
Daitengu nodded, put down the book, and stood behind Groete while waving his fan. Facing this handsome human, the Ent smiled at him:
"My name is Groete."
"My name is Daitengu, nice to meet you, Groete."
After dealing with Groete's affairs, Saber turned his gaze back to Peter. Jason. Quill, who was standing aside with a wooden face, and the angry Drax. He first looked at Quill, and he whispered:
"My compatriot, you see, I came to you as agreed, but you breached it. Where is my thing?"
Quill didn't want to answer. This prodigal son of the universe, who calls himself Star-Lord, really saw the scene of destruction in this catastrophe of Xander. It had such a great impact on him that he didn't want to say a word to Seiber at all.
Faced with this stubbornness, Saber walked up to him, reached out and grabbed his neck, forcing him to raise his head. He looked at Star-Lord indifferently:
"You are angry, you think I am a homicidal maniac, you think I destroyed Xander, right?"
Star-Lord gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, but the resistance in his eyes betrayed his thoughts. Saber sneered and threw Quill on the cold ground. He said aloud:
"Before we met, you took away what belonged to me. I don't blame you. Even when we first met, I gave you 2 days to bring it back. I thought that by that time, things should be over!"
"But you didn't! Didn't you? "
"You ignored my warning on the spot. You were secretly delighted that you had obtained something valuable and that you could sell it for a large sum of money. When you made the selfish decision, let me ask you, where did your compassion for the people of Shandar go?"
Saber said coldly:
"If I didn't have the power to destroy this place, you would think that I was just a pretentious fool in your heart. You wouldn't want to believe what a terrible impact your decision would have … You are a selfish man! Quill! But look, unfortunately, I have this ability, don't I? Ask yourself, Quill, who did the people here die because of? "
His voice pierced Quill's heart like a sword:
"Is it me? Or is it you! "
"You! You are a monster! "
Quill lay on the ground and glared at Saber. He shouted angrily: "No normal person would really destroy a world because of something! And you did that! You are the real monster! "
Faced with this accusation, Saber accepted it calmly. He leaned on the desk and crossed his arms:
"I admit that I am a monster, so what? What about you? What are you? Will you be happy because you insulted me? Will the heavy sin in your heart become lighter because you resist me? "
"Admit it! Quill, you are also a murderer, and there is blood on your hands that can't be washed away! You are the real beginning of the war … Of course, there is no point in discussing this now. Let me tell you this! "
Seiber waved a blue flame and wrapped it around Quill's leg. In a flash, the two of them were standing at the top of the command hall. Seiber pointed at the last Shandar district that was surrounded by the Demon Encampment and whispered to Quill who was sprawled on the ground by his feet.
"Do you see? The last 100,000 people on this planet … With just one order from me, they will be trampled by the demons. You want to atone for your sins, right? Then tell me everything I want to know before my patience completely disappears … Or, more directly, take me to find what I lost … "
Quill struggled to get up from the ground. He looked at the only district in the city that had not been destroyed from afar. Although he was far away, he could still feel the fear emanating from there. His insistence in his heart was loosening. Finally, he asked angrily:
"Why should I help you! Why should I believe a bastard who killed hundreds of thousands of people without batting an eye? "
"Because this is the choice I gave you … Peter, believe me, I have seen many people like you. Let me tell you! Even if your body is torn apart, your face is disfigured, your arms are broken, and even if you die, it's nothing. It's not as scary as an ugly soul … Peter, your soul can't have a prosthetic limb. You came from Earth, and you know more than these aliens … You can save them, or rather, you are their only hope. "
Saber closed his eyes slightly and said as if he was sleep-talking:
The best way to end all of this is for me to get what I want, and then I will leave this place … Peace will come naturally. You can choose to bring peace with your own hands, or you can choose to die meaninglessly here, using the perspective of a soul to watch the war that started because of you continue until this place is completely destroyed … I don't care, really, this is not my home! "
Quill's hair was blown away by the wind. After a while, his difficult struggle finally came to an end. He took a deep breath:
"Okay, I will take you there. I know where Kamora will take the spirit ball, but you have to swear … After everything is over, you will let them go!"
Seiber abruptly turned around and flexed his fists. A bone-chilling cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Very good! You have made the right choice. "
"This time, I will go personally!"
