Chapter 65: Herforao
Kaiju arrived at the conspicuous gargantuan tree. Compared to before, there were no fruits now glistening with different colors. Instead, snakes with various scales design coiled the gargantuan tree, even the enormous trunk and colossal roots were not exempted. Kaiju spotted some aura exuding from the gargantuan tree, threatening him. There were five more stronger than the corrupted rank he was following–he confidently assumed they were at the same rank as him.
For some reason, Kaiju had a strange thought, causing his body to shiver in excitement. ’I can’t wait to fight against them. How about three versus five?’ He thought. He was lost in thoughts when he was startled to perceive an ominous aura exploded forth, awakening him.
"I can sense your thoughts, human," said the Overlord rank beast. "I can let you fight them later–of course, as a form of training. We will have a conversation first. Here, at the top of the tree."
Kaiju halted, tilted his head upward, almost breaking his neck. He just arrived at the colossal roots, not even near the trunk, and yet he had to gaze upward just to see the location the Overlord rank beast was talking about.
"I can barely see the crown. Do I need five days to reach there?"
The Overlord rank beast guffawed, shaking the gargantuan tree, causing some low rank snakes to fall. Kaiju glanced at them and was shaken to see some died. He mumbled, "Does he not care about their life at all?"
"Of course, I do. However, their corpse can grow the tree. Furthermore, throughout their lives, they will remain barely intelligent due to their lack of potential. They better die early and reincarnate to be stronger than their previous lives, no?"
Kaiju’s eyes widened, suddenly recalling his past life. He recalled he did not have a potential to become similar to the Tyrant of their school, and just like the snake, he was bound to fall and die. He accepted it. However, just like what the Overlord rank beast had said, he had also reincarnated, he became stronger than his previous life.
He smiled. "You are right. For them to live more is just a waste of resources."
