With both the tree and the Guardian Tiger suggesting the same thing, Alex began to firmly believe that the best course of action going ahead was to absorb as many Sunhearts as he could.
Anything else was less of a priority now that he understood there was a chance at getting rid of the seal. The damn seal had been annoying him for close to a century now, so he would want nothing more than to get rid of it.
Even if it took him another century to do so, he would gladly do it.
As for leaving this world, he would have to find some other way. Maybe once he gained full control of his Soul Space and Spiritual Sea, he could help Bladedance become stronger too.
At that point, she would hopefully help him escape.
"I will do that," Alex told the two. "Until then, you'll have to wait before I can take away your seeds."
"I can wait," the tree said. "Have a fruit for now. It will take you some time to get through it anyway. You can come for the rest when you are ready."
