I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

Beth's heart was filled with pain and confusion.

She got a new chance, but she would rather die right now.

Originally, she was unable to compete with Bennett, but now she has the opportunity to kill Bennett.

"Hurry up, we can't hold out for much longer."

"What are you still hesitating about?"

"Are you really willing to die like this?"

The figure in front of her eyes gradually blurred, and Beth asked herself, was she really willing to die like this?

Is she really willing to give up the path to sainthood?

Is she really willing to give up everything for someone who doesn't love her that much?

"Has he ever had any mercy on you?"

"Beth! Are you really going to give up on the Saints?!"

Beth woke up suddenly, she looked at Bennett, and saw various runes starting to appear on his body. Beth didn't recognize all of them, but she had seen one of them before, it was a soul rune.

Bennett was about to break free.

"No, that's not right."

Beth let out a sudden roar, and the roar echoed throughout the entire Dark Swamp, as if something was about to be born. The entire Dark Swamp was in endless turmoil.

She sneered at Bennett in front of her, and also at the shadow behind Bennett, and asked loudly:

"No, why should I kill him?"

"I am a saint."

And in the darkness, there were endless voices:

"Even saints have their limits."

"Beth, you can't defeat Bennett head-on."

"Kill him now, you won't get a second chance."

These voices urged Beth to kill Bennett, the man who held an important place in her heart and for whom she was even willing to give up her own life.

But Beth did not agree to these shadows, nor did she let Bennett go.

She raised her right hand, and the roots of the Tree of Power began to extend, and soon, they were connected to her arms.

She stretched out her left hand and gently covered Bennett's brow:

“The power of the saints is never gained through sacrifice.

My power comes from domination, and sacrifice is only a necessary means to achieve the goal of domination.

In this dark swamp, what I should do is not to become the Beth in your heart according to your ideas.

I should rule over you and over everything that appears here.

You will become slaves of the tree of power, providing it with strength and faith, instead of telling me what I should do and how I should do it."

As Beth screamed, countless dark shadows began to emerge from the roots of the Tree of Power.

Those were the absorbed future Beths, and she had absorbed them, thinking they were nutrients for the tree of power.

Now she understood that these people were not food, they were slaves.

They will endlessly transfer their pain, their beliefs, and everything they have to the roots of the tree of power.

Only in this way can Beth truly be in control of this place.

And Bennett...

Beth placed her hand on Bennett's forehead, and a tree root began to spread from Bennett's forehead into his mind.

Beth smiled and said:

"As expected..."

The tree roots reached into Bennett's soul, but found nothing in it beyond Beth's memories.

This Bennett is indeed Bennett.

But he is Bennett in Beth's heart, her inner demon.

And now...

"Haha, even I think that I'm not the one you care about the most. You're really... a jerk. Just wait for me."

Beth smiled slightly, and Bennett in front of her turned into a point of light and completely merged into the Tree of Power.

She looked at the Tree of Power that was as tall as the sky, and above the tree, a ray of light was lighting up.

……

In the woods, Beth's body was floating in the air.

Her hair turned from black to blonde, and a huge golden tree grew from her body.

The giant tree reaches the sky, with no end in sight.

The roots of the giant tree also penetrated into the ground.

But the brown swamp with a faint stench has now disappeared, and instead, there is boiling black mud, which is erupting with a sound like the roar of a river.

Bennett's scalp tingled. He relaxed his vision of the natural disaster and saw that it was just black mud.

The black thing that kept rolling was not mud at all, but souls struggling in pain.

The sound of the rolling waves of the river was not the sound of water at all, but the roar and wailing of souls.

"What is this? What happened to Beth?"

Bennett looked at Adam and questioned him repeatedly.

Adam looked at the black swamp below and his scalp tingled.

It was also the first time for him to face the Dark Swamp. The situation in the Dark Swamp was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Even Adam himself couldn't guarantee that he could escape unscathed from this kind of thing.

Beth, on the other hand, just put her soul into it.

"I don't know either. Now I have no choice but to trust Beth."

Bennett's veins jumped when he heard this. Isn't this just nonsense?

But before he could say anything, Beth's condition took a turn for the worse.

Beth's figure was seen descending in the middle of the golden giant tree, and was about to enter the boiling black mud.

Even though they didn't know what had happened to Beth, they both knew that the situation was definitely not good.

"Aren't you Beth's teacher? Think of a solution."

Bennett asked Adam again.

Adam was also very anxious because he was a mortal, not a wish-making machine.

"What can I do? Beth has to go through this stage by herself. This is her chance, and it's also a hurdle she must overcome."

The two of them were arguing, and suddenly, Beth's figure began to rise again.

Bennett breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Adam.

This guy Adam also touched his bald head.

The two looked at each other and then turned their heads away.

"I tell you, be polite to my disciple next time. She will definitely become stronger after this time."

Bennett said expressionlessly:

"I have prepared a large bed, and I am sure you will be very polite."

"you……"

Before Adam could finish his words, Beth's condition suddenly changed again. She fell rapidly and entered the dark swamp in the blink of an eye.

The two of them instantly lost the mood to bicker, their hearts were in their throats.

"Beth, you can't..."

Before Bennett could finish his words, Beth sank directly into the black mud.

"Do not……"

Adam and Bennett both froze in place.

But after a moment, a golden light suddenly flashed, and the black mud was directly broken. The golden light rushed straight into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire night sky.

Adam shielded his eyes with his arms.

Bennett turned on his natural disaster vision and looked towards the golden light.

In the golden light, a figure was slowly standing up. She was the source of the golden light, she was the beginning of everything.

The figure jumped up, landed beside Bennett, and raised his chin:

"Little one, are you ready to be dominated by me?"
