The Lord of Hell

Chapter 3177 Meeting

Chapter 3177 Meeting

Actually, there's a hidden place in the secret realm where you can find the Iron Tree. The normal procedure is to find that place first, and then go find the Iron Tree.

But Andrew obviously doesn't need to go through the normal process. Besides, Sithon and the others shouldn't expect to get this method, because Andrew will eliminate it beforehand.

"The Negative Kings are probably frantically sensing the Iron Tree right now, but little do they know, I have ways to cheat."

Andrew smiled slightly. The reason he went to find the Iron Tree in advance was to ensure His loyalty.

The Negative King believed that it was a mistake that the Iron Tree had not been subdued by Andrew—at that time, the Negative King failed to subdue the Iron Tree, and Andrew took the opportunity to fill the gap and successfully made the Iron Tree submit.

For safety reasons, Andrew did some tampering with the Steel Tree, along with various forms of coercion and enticement. Overall, the Steel Tree's loyalty was still acceptable; although it was unwilling, it had no intention of betraying him.

The problem is that this world is different from the main universe. In this world, the Iron Tree can temporarily break free from Andrew's control with the help of the secret realm.

Therefore, Andrew needs to go find the Iron Tree in advance and persuade it not to make a mistake—while persuading it, he should also beat it up to let it know that its boss is still its boss, without any change.

Without going into details, Andrew first went to a cave in a rocky mountain, where he found a way to see the steel tree ahead of time and destroyed it.

Next, following the script, Andrew arrived at a small pond where a crocodile was hiding. When you pass by the pond, the crocodile will come out to ambush you, bite you to death, and then eat you.

Andrew wasted no time and exhaled a breath of cold air directly into the pool, causing the water to freeze and emit white steam.

The crocodile below noticed the water temperature dropping rapidly and was alarmed. It hurriedly surfaced and spotted Andrew, then immediately charged at him fiercely.

This five-meter-long crocodile was not a creature of steel, but a real creature of flesh and blood. Otherwise, Andrew would not have needed to use any cold energy; he could have simply raised his hand and the crocodile would have flown out.

In front of Andrew, this knock-off Magneto, no metal is a threat.

Not only are crocodiles flesh and blood creatures, but most of the other monsters in the wilderness are also flesh and blood creatures. In fact, this secret realm was normal at first. It was only after the Iron Tree descended that it became an Iron World and so many Iron creatures appeared.

Simply put, the Steel Tree is an invader. It is powerful, so the real natives were driven into the wilderness, while the robots created by the Steel Tree occupied their original good territory.

I won't go into the background setting. When faced with the charging crocodile, Andrew raised his hand, and the soil turned into a giant hand, grabbing it tightly.

The crocodile struggled fiercely; its strength was immense, and cracks began to appear in the giant hand of mud. Andrew was somewhat surprised; it seemed that this crocodile was more powerful than he had imagined.

In fact, this is quite normal. Without some skill, how could one escape from the clutches of a giant steel tree and survive in the wilderness?

Andrew called these wilderness monsters "little monsters," a habit he picked up from playing games. Most of the wilderness monsters were quite powerful; to put it another way, they were at least elite monsters.

Although the crocodile was strong, Andrew was even stronger. He pointed at the giant hand of mud, and the giant hand instantly transformed from mud into steel. Now, no matter how much the crocodile struggled, it could not break free from the giant hand's restraint.

The crocodile, filled with shock and rage, opened its mouth towards Andrew, spewing out a mouthful of venom the size of a football. Andrew snorted coldly, and an air wall formed in front of him, blocking the venom.

The crocodile was about to attack again when Andrew clenched his fist in mid-air, forcibly closing the crocodile's mouth. Then, a large amount of air formed a fist and smashed into the crocodile's head.

Bang bang bang!

The crocodile was stunned by the blow, tears welling in its eyes. It had been peacefully eating fish and shrimp in the pool, but instead it was almost frozen and then beaten up. What a tragedy!

Why did Andrew deliberately hit the crocodile to make it cry? Was it because he had a bad temper?

Of course not. Although Andrew's personality is indeed quite awful, he did this because he needed crocodile tears.

Crocodile tears are one of the key items to see the steel tree ahead of time. Andrew collected these tears and then said, "Crocodile, two paths: death, or obediently obey my orders."

Andrew's words were transmitted directly to the crocodile's mind, so the crocodile understood and nodded repeatedly in agreement; it didn't want to be beaten again.

Andrew nodded in satisfaction. Of course, he knew that wild animals were hard to tame, so he didn't trust the crocodile. He directly placed an explosive brand in its mouth and personally demonstrated the function of the brand to it.

The crocodile was completely terrified and dared not have any more bad intentions, so it obediently lay on the ground.

Why did Andrew subdue the crocodile? Because he planned to control the wild monsters and, together with the robots, attack the territory of Sithon and His kind.

Although Andrew was confident he could handle them alone, why not use the help he had? Safety first! He didn't want to become the villain in a novel, arrogantly provoking others, thinking he could easily win, only to be beaten to a pulp by the protagonist.

Next, Andrew sent the crocodile to wait near the area where Sithon and the others were, while he went to collect the next key item.

The next key item was a peacock's tail feather, which Andrew easily collected without any surprises. At the same time, Andrew also tamed the peacock.

Next came the tiger's tail, the wild boar's tusks, the cheetah's claws, and so on, all of which Andrew obtained one by one.

Don't be fooled by how easily Andrew obtained it; in fact, it's because he's powerful enough. None of those monsters are weak and can survive in the wilderness.

For anyone else, obtaining these items would require dozens of times more time and effort than Andrew's, and they might even die on the way.

Andrew subdued most of the monsters and drove them to the territory of Sithorn. He then took various items and went to the Moonwell.

The Moon Well is located in the center of the wilderness and is guarded by four statues, making it difficult for ordinary people to approach. Of course, this was no challenge for Andrew at all; he forcibly broke all four statues.

The Moon Well is a magical well. Whether it is day or night, the well water will emit a faint moonlight, hence its name.

These well waters can heal injuries and enhance mental strength, but Andrew doesn't need them; he's too strong, and the well waters are of no use to him.

Of course, Andrew wouldn't waste this well water. After all, he had so many subordinates. This well water was useless to him, but it was a good thing for the superhumans in New York and Detroit.

"No rush, let's take it one step at a time."

Andrew smiled slightly and put the various things he had collected into the Moon Well. The Moon Well began to boil like water, and then a large amount of moonlight floated out of the well and hovered in the air.

It must be said that this scene was quite beautiful. Andrew quietly admired it. Soon, the moonlight formed a door, which was the spatial portal leading to the place where the steel tree was located.

Without any hesitation, Andrew flew straight in, and then, the surroundings changed, and he arrived in front of a steel fortress.

This steel fortress is circular, and in the center of the fortress is a large tree made entirely of steel, which is the Steel Tree, one of the five compound trees.

What is the Iron Tree doing? It's watching the live match. You read that right, it's watching the live match. There are four screens in front of the Iron Tree, showing the battle situation in the four crystal areas.

"Why is the Losers' Alliance so cowardly? They keep piling on defenses and don't dare to take the initiative to attack. Hmph, someone like the King of Negativity dares to compete for the position of the boss of Compound V. They are truly ignorant."

The steel tree muttered to itself, "Uh, where did the King of Superpowers go? Damn it, I can't see what's going on in the wilderness. That guy's abilities are a perfect counter to mine. This is going to be difficult."

"Too difficult to handle? Then let's not handle it at all, let's just flip the table, how about that?"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out. The Steel Tree was startled and quickly turned its attention to the side, only to see the King of Superpowers, whom it had been longing for, appear beside it at some point.

"King of Superpowers, no, Boss, how did you get in here?"

The steel tree asked in utter shock, for even it did not know how to enter this space, hence its astonishment.

Although the Iron Tree exists in this secret realm, it is not the master of the realm. If it were the master, it would have already joined forces with Sithon and the others to attack Andrew.

That's right, it's normal for the Steel Tree to have rebellious intentions. The reason the Steel Tree surrendered to Andrew was because it couldn't defeat Andrew and didn't want to die, so it had no choice but to surrender.

Now that it has the opportunity to retaliate, the steel tree certainly won't let it go. Who would want to be a servant when they can be free?

Of the five compound trees that Andrew subdued, only the Star God was truly devoted to him and remained loyal to him. The others, however, had varying degrees of questionable loyalty.

At this moment, the black dragon is probably also plotting against him. The situation of Zeus and his two siblings is better, because Andrew has put a lot of effort into them. Although they are somewhat wavering, they may not betray him.

What? Kaguya Otsutsuki? That's not Andrew's subordinate, that's Andrew's woman. She definitely won't betray you, there's no need to say more.

Iron Tree never expected that before it could do anything, the King of Superpowers would come knocking on its door. To be honest, Iron Tree was almost scared to death. This was too terrifying!

Then, the steel tree was glad it hadn't done anything; if it had, this day next year might have been its death anniversary.
