Chapter 738 To chop a Tree, you can target the Roots

"…."

If it were Professor Frances or Alina who were in Queen Mother's shoes, these two would surely give up already, since they lack the patience to persevere when all odds are against them.

Queen Mother would be like this too, if it were not for her trait as a World Tree.

"Should I give up just because my own skills are too weak to assist me?"

"Of course not. There might not be a solution that I can think for my escape right now, but that does not mean that there are no solutions."

"Maybe the time is not yet ripe, or that I haven't thought of the solution yet..."

Queen Mother is not a human. She is also not an animal either.

She is a plant-based specie instead, one that is meant to conquer and dominate a world.

"…."

With this kind of biology pervading her body, Queen Mother's mindset is naturally incomparable from other beings.

Queen Mother is technically a long-lived tree after all, so her concepts of time and patience are way different compared to other creatures.

Matters that might make other creatures impatient are nothing more but a small matter for Queen Mother, as her aged mind and lengthy lifespan had granted her a mindset of an 'extremely' patient person.

Tasks that might require frequent repetitions or that occur for a long time are just a leisure past-time for Queen Mother, and she won't feel any hints of impatience with these activities.

It will take around tens or hundreds of years before someone like Queen Mother could get fed up doing something, a trait that made her suitable for 'grinding' activities….

In today's case, this trait made itself apparent in regards to Queen Mother's space-time dilemma.

"Since it's like this, then I should just continue thinking!"

"Yes, I should continue thinking!"

Queen Mother might look like she was panicking because she was trapped, but this does not mean that she had already lost hope of escaping.

Her 'patient' mindset had already conditioned her for situations like this, so she has no problem on staying here for longer.

She can wait it out for years, a time period that she will obviously use to think of a way to escape.

Which she did, and this time, she did not let her fear of being left behind disrupt her thoughts.

"Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse."

"Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse…."

"Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse…."

"Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse…."

"…."

Since the option of using her abilities to escape was already impossible, Queen Mother had to think of other ways to free herself.

But what solution can Queen Mother think of, when her own abilities have no use for her freedom?

It's not like she can just wish for someone to swoop in and save her, right?

"…." Queen Mother knew this limitation, so she had prepared herself to stay in this place for a much longer time.

By doing this, the solution that she is looking for might be revealed…

Maybe there is a hidden way to escape that she still had not thought of, and she had to just think deeper so that she can discover it…

Maybe there is a special method that she can use with her body that she had just forgotten…

Or maybe all of her 'waiting time' could clue her allies in to her dilemma, which could lead to them personally freeing her…

"Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse."

"Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse…."

"Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse…."

"Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse. Space-Time Loop. Crown. Escape. Giant Corpse…."

"…."

1 HOUR LATER.

"…"

Queen Mother's body could be seen as sparkling at this point, as it was surprisingly covered with a thick layer of sweat that clung like a film on her smooth skin.

This layer of sweat came from all of her efforts to brainstorm, and she seemed to be too engrossed on what she was doing to even clean herself up.

She just allowed all of this sticky and slimy layer of sweat to stay on her skin, which grew into puddles as she continued to sweat more.

Such appearance made this tree woman looked disheveled, which when coupled with her furrowed face and clenched teeth, also made her appear like a crazed person that is descending slowly to madness…

"…."

With this appearance of hers, Queen Mother seemed to reach a dangerous state, one where she is unable to last for much longer.

In fact, she appeared to be just one disturbance away before she completely loses control of herself, and that was not an exaggeration.

"…."

Her 'patient' attitude might still be working this time, but the stress of her captivity had drastically reduced Queen Mother's tolerance for her situation.

"…"

At this moment, Queen Mother's mental framework can only last for a few more minutes before she completely gives in to all of her despair.

A few minutes might not seem too short, but for Queen Mother who was still trapped in the loop, these few minutes were her only chance to retain her sanity and freedom.

If she does not find a solution within this time period, then there is no more hope for Queen Mother to ever return to her allies….

"…"

"…"

"…"

Fortunately for Queen Mother, when she reached the last-minute of her free-thinking period, she found the very thing that she was looking for.

"Wait a second…. I remember something that Alex told me before. He said to me that the best way to solve a problem was by tackling its roots. I should take out the mastermind of the problem, and my problem will quickly be solved."

"I… can apply that solution here, right?"

"Yes, I can apply it here! I can escape from this Space-Time Loop, as long as I attack the thing that is making this loop happen!"

"Which means that I have to do something to that metal crown!"

"If I deal with that crown, maybe… just maybe, I can escape from this trap!"

Queen Mother's desperate bid to discover an escape path actually bore fruit, and it was her perseverance to think that gave her this success.

"Argh! I know this could backfire against me, but since there is no way for me to escape, then I should just do this!"

"My body is powerful anyway, so I could probably live even after doing something to that crown!"

Maybe it was the panic of her body being forced in an unknown situation, or the discomfort of having her life placed on a platter, but Queen Mother appeared to have gained the courage to perform an action that even her normal self would never try to do.

Queen Mother actually thought of attacking the metal crown, which was the object that has been keeping her trapped all this time!

This is obviously a reckless action, but with Queen Mother left with nothing else to do, nobody would blame her for what she was about to attempt.

"…This is not my fault for thinking up of this method. I am blaming that damned crown, since it left me with no choice but to do this!"

"So crown, don't blame me if things get messy here. One of us will surely be hurt, and I will make sure that I won't be that losing side!"

Since there is no more use for her to stay still, Queen Mother hastily did what her mind told her to do.

"Boom!"

Queen Mother unhesitatingly launched herself forward, but this time she did not head away from the giant.

She instead went towards the giant, more specifically to his head, where the crown was located!
