Mockbinshta rips the ficus into a thousand little pieces, burns it to charred ashes, and then feeds it to a rabid koala. I ride the rabid koala up the hill to meet Mockbinshta, who greets me with ownership of the hill.
In your direct approach the ficus subtly made sure that his pot survived, and planted roots in the Mockbinshta. Mockbinshta is corrupted. The ficus regenerates. The ficus is the root of all evil, and has roots in the hill. praise the ficus, in its overwhelming power!
The ficus, while all-powerful, does not own itself. It is bound to dictate the universe, so is owned by wormholes. Wormhole are owned by the devil. (the ficus sold his soul. He didnt really have one anyway.)
Ficus has escaped due to improper payments. The ficus's hill.
Was sold to the wormholes. Unless you bought the rights to the wormholes from the devil, then made them release their hold on the tyrannical ficus(s). But what did you use to buy the wormholes from the devil? Your soul? That means... The devil's hill...
