Outsider
Because he had just heard these three words not long ago, Gu Moli was a little sensitive about it. Although the Wisdom Tree might mean that he, the "outsider" who had entered Dave's house without permission, should leave, he couldn't help but think of another aspect... .
"Let me out of here? Why?"
“… … ”The Wisdom Tree did not answer.
Gu Moli held his chin up and continued seriously: "In fact, the evil Dr. Dave has led the terrible plant army to rule the world, and with the help of the great, bright and correct Dr. George Edgar, I am looking for a way to defeat Dave."
"Evil... Dr. Dave?"
"That's right."
Gu Moli lied without changing his expression: "He is the one called Crazy Dave. His plants are extremely crazy. I risked my life to sneak in here to find a way to restrain the plants. I thought your tree was one of the important clues..."
"... It seems not."
"In that case, I must at least destroy this room, so that I can..."
“That’s enough!”
The Tree of Wisdom trembled violently, and the branches and leaves in the crown swayed, making a rustling sound. A very attractive voice also came out: "Fireworks fade away quickly, stop playing crazy and stupid. I am not interested in messing around with you. As an outsider, you'd better leave this world immediately."
"... It's unexpectedly embarrassing to be called this nickname."
Gu Moli's guess was unfortunately correct.
This nickname, which is unique to the player, was called out by the tree of wisdom in front of him even though Gu Moli had not told anyone about it.
"Which god are you? Bacchus? Adonis?"
"... Have you seen it?"
The two names proposed by Gu Moli were very targeted. The former was the god of wine and plants in Roman mythology, and the latter was the god of forests in Greek mythology.
The reason why he mentioned these two gods was very simple, because the goddess Aurora who appeared in Shambhala was the representative of dawn and light in Roman mythology. Gu Moli had reason to suspect that the tree of wisdom in front of him might also be a member of a Roman god.
If not... ..
... ..that would be even more interesting.
However, the Tree of Wisdom did not directly tell Gu Moli its name, nor did it reveal a body shape similar to Aurora, but just maintained the appearance of the Tree of Wisdom.
"never mind."
"Since you have seen the gods, you should also know how dangerous it is to go against the gods, so you should leave as soon as possible."
"Eh? Why?"
Gu Moli looked curious: "The last time I met the Goddess, I not only shot her head to pieces, but also whipped her corpse dozens of times with a stick. I don't think there is any danger in going against the Goddess. It's better to say that I am very interested in your current state..."
"No danger?"
"hehe!"
The rustling sound in the crown of the Wisdom Tree became more intense. "You are ignorant of the immensity of the world, outsiders. You are far from reaching the level of Mythology Cancer. You are only at the fifth level. Do you think you can really pose a threat to a god? As for the encounter with a god you mentioned..."
"... .Humph, I guess he ran into some cripple."
"After the last war, there were many disabled people like that. It's not uncommon to run into one if you're lucky."
"I guess you got this mask from that cripple."
"If not for this, you wouldn't be here."
Gu Moli did not interrupt the Wisdom Tree. Although the other party kept belittling him, Gu Moli still listened with relish: "Then what do you want me to do? Lord God? You should be able to see that if I can't complete the task now, I can't leave here."
"Or are you willing to help me complete the task?"
"Task?"
The Wisdom Tree sneered: "There is no task here for you to complete. Didn't you see that even the Hero Trial is just three question marks?"
"You are doing something stupid!"
Gu Moli complained loudly while raising all his guard. He didn't expect that the so-called god in this script could even modify the system's task description. This was too unfair. Even Aurora couldn't do it. Is this god stronger, or is this the power of god
What exactly are the so-called gods in this game

Apart from Gu Moli's anxious thoughts, the voice of the Wisdom Tree seemed increasingly impatient: "Leave here, I can help you complete the conditions for leaving and the brave challenge, and you can still get rich rewards if you leave with these two achievements. Or do you plan to fight me?"
"... Fight? No no no."
"It is well known that I am a pacifist and I would never choose to resolve a problem with force if it can be resolved with words."
"That's good. In that case, you..."
"... but!"
Gu Moli flexed his wrists, patted the Wisdom Tree, and continued, "Before I leave, I have a few simple questions for you... Well, I'll call you Mr. Wisdom Tree for now. I hope you can answer my questions."
"... .explain."
"First of all, can you tell me what this worldview is all about? Don't get me wrong, it's just a basic curiosity. Maybe you don't know that my job in reality is actually a detective, and curiosity is the instinct of every detective."
Gu Moli said this calmly, but he was ready to turn hostile at any time.
He said this for two purposes.
First, it was to satisfy curiosity, which was a superficial purpose. Second, it was to test how much the so-called god in front of him knew about the "real world". Was this outsider just a setting within the game, or a more subjective name... .
If it's the latter, it will be a lot of fun.
However, in response to Gu Moli's forced calmness, the Wisdom Tree's response seemed even more casual.
"detective?"
"Hmph, a boring job. But since you are interested, I will tell you. The plot contradiction of this world lies in the conflict between George Edgar and Dave Smith. The conflict between the two is also a war between the Zombie Empire and the Super Plants."
"But in fact...they are just puppets of the mastermind behind the scenes."
"puppet?"
"That's right."
The Wisdom Tree paused at this point and said, "... Well, sprinkle me some more fertilizer. The damn system restriction forces me to use this thing to speak."
“Oh…”
After Gu Moli obediently went forward and spread the fertilizer, the wisdom tree became much more energetic, and the leaves in the crown became bright and shiny. Then it continued: "Everything can be traced back to the distant future..."
