The ultimate punishment.

I'm crossing the
entire land
searching far and wide
and poke each tree, to understand
THE POWER THATS INSIDE

I just love Roko's face in that last panel.
Also his reasoning does check out.

Poppycock. Roko-san is being baka again. Saida is telling him, don't poke the sleeping dragons. What does he do? Promptly start poking them because "they're evil."

At this point, if I were poor Saida-hime, I'd be tempted to give up. Her advice is very good, nearly every time she's dead right, and nobody listens to her. She's the one good-aligned quetz they've ever found. FFS she's basically the quetz's Perry, young, idealistic, and knows at some level her okasa went bad. If Saida-hime says not to mess with something...

Well, Roko-san wants to FAFO, I guess he's gonna find out soon enough.

Those trees kinda look to me like they were running.

Could very well they were charging into battle when the Dryads and Ayal, backed by the other kami, hit them with everything they had, and that stopped them cold, trapped in their trees.

That does NOT mean their animating magic is gone. They're trapped... But maybe not dead.

Saida-hime is a study of the world's history as much as Suzokon-kyo was. That's why Roko is so foolish. But "poking the sleeping bear" seems to be a primary weakness, so...
