Being No. 1 or being Fredri... whichever choice I make, am I destined to lose one side?
After listening to Fredri's retort, Happy Donkey unusually fell silent for a moment, then quietly asked:
"So you chose the former and ended up becoming the No. 1 Root Survivor?"
"I don't know..."
With a complex expression, Fredri was silent for a moment, then spoke with full self-mockery:
"Strictly speaking, I actually failed on both sides... I haven't fully absorbed the people of the Hope lineage, still retaining their will, so I can't completely condense the essence of the root, which has delayed the ultimate mission from being completed even now.
Yet at the same time, I've betrayed my origin, destroyed more than one material plane, seized most of the root of the survivors, pushed the only person who could stop me—Leon—down Ring Time Mountain, prepared everything necessary to complete the ultimate mission... Forget it, let's not talk about this."
