Unexpected Gains

'Truly troublesome fellows'

He was sure now more than ever that this group would bring his plans unexpected changes in the future whether he liked it or not

'At least I know what happened back then now'

At first he didn't link this place and the Flesh Golem but when he saw them leading an expedition in the tree's direction earlier he had some guesses

'They must have killed it in the past, stored the flesh fruit thinking it might be of use before something happened to allow the Flesh Golem's exposure to it'

His only reason for not acting since the beginning was because he did not know if the group was truly capable of killing the tree, sure the thing was immobile but it was more than capable of making them kill each other and even themselves with its mastery over hallucinations

'All this is useless now'
