Even though the "hint" didn't explicitly say who this thing was, Colin knew without thinking that it was referring to the "Mother of Suffering and Thorns."
The source of all "suffering".
A terrifying higher being whose influence is everywhere even without showing any gesture.
His power is beyond doubt.
Colin estimated that He was probably more powerful than many of the Old Ones, otherwise He would not have been able to absolutely suppress most of the Outer Gods.
Just looking at this little kid in front of me who is a little bit sinister and a little bit optimistic, I don’t know if she knows what she is going to face.
But when I think about it, if I didn’t have a big heart, I would probably go crazy now.
Colin didn't bring up the topic, but just asked: "In other words, collect everything you want to collect...
"Do you have the ability to deal with the 'Holy King'?"
If this is true, he really has to help this little girl, because he can choose not to deal with the Holy King, but he cannot be without the ability to guard against him.
If it weren't necessary, Colin's desire to end the suffering and defeat the Holy King was not particularly strong.
Because he still didn't know what the situation was with the Holy King.
He would not go along with such a guy, but if it was not necessary, he would not risk huge casualties by confronting the other party head-on.
After all, this matter is essentially a conflict of "others" rather than theirs.
The first priority for survivors is to stay alive, not to conquer everywhere.
Unless, they must defeat each other in order to survive, then Colin will naturally lead the way and do everything he can to kill them.
But before meeting the Holy King, nothing can be concluded.
However, at present, the probability of an irreconcilable conflict breaking out between them is very high.
Therefore, it is very important to help the little girl to intimidate the Holy King.
This kind of deterrence may be unnecessary, but it cannot be absent!
However, Colin glanced at the little girl. This little brat probably didn't understand the ins and outs of this. She probably just thought that both sides were on the same side, so she kept hiding it.
I guess she thought that if she told the truth, she would be driven away and abandoned, and would not be able to pick up the spoils later like a dog-skin plaster, so she concealed many things.
"I don't know. I feel like it should be okay, right?" The little girl looked uncertain.
The tone of your question makes me feel unconfident to help you. Colin complained in his heart that the little girl is still a little immature in this regard.
If he were a real veteran, he would probably say "yes" without changing his expression and then try to get help.
[You realize that through various means, she can greatly limit all "suffering", including that of the Holy King. ]
A humanoid self-propelled weapon specifically designed to deal with "suffering"
Colin seemed to understand something, and then continued, "I am very angry about what the 'Saint King' did. You know, I am the kind of person who cannot bear to see suffering, so on this point, I will assist you as much as possible and help you collect what you need."
The little girl was stunned, and then her eyes seemed to glow: "Really?!"
