Chapter 692: The History Behind Eden
—–
After being defeated, the Crystal Tree continued to act rather cocky, as if she had been winning this whole time and only let the split souls slip through because she was very benevolent, even when she had all the intentions of killing them, but they forgive her even when she tried doing such a thing, and even when they saw their bodies being disintegrated and regenerating constantly.
Any normal person would probably hate this tree, but the split souls were way too gentle-hearted, and also felt rather guilty, so they decided to talk things out when the Crystal Tree finally exhausted itself from its power, mostly because they destroyed three quarters of her roots, slowing down her absorption of divine essence and making her weaker as a result.
She wondered what the heck was Aurora from all things, after trying to discuss things out with the split souls but always getting frustrated by how ignorant they were over the entire situation…
“And who is this being in front of me? I can see its presence overflowing the place too… despite not being as strong as you two, this being’s ability over space and time is formidable…” said the Crystal Tree, glaring down at Aurora with its powerful presence, it didn’t had eyes though.
“Who am I? I am a good friend of the two, I was the one that helped them get here so fast… You can call me Aurora,” said Aurora, with a charming smile.
“Well, whatever…” sighed the tree.
“Whatever?! I am Aurora, greet me like you would greet another person!” sighed Aurora.
“I won’t, why should I? I don’t like any of you three!” said the tree.
“You’re very stubborn for a tree! Oh well, you’re going to accept us either way, or you want us to shatter your body some more?” asked Veronica.
“Y-You wouldn’t dare!” said the tree.
“Oh, we would, if that means you’re going to atop annoying us…” said Ervas.
“Ugh… Fine.” sighed the tree.
“Oho? You’re finally going to speak? Now act like civilized tree and be friendly with us for once! Now tell us what’s going on for once, would you? We want to know what happened so we can actually help you guys! We got a lot of power and we want to use it.” said Veronica.
“Please, cooperate with us, we only want to redeem ourselves and help now that we are finally here… I don’t know how much the twins went through, but I am sure they would agree with us on this one.” Said Ervas.
“Sigh…”
The Crystal Tree sighed.
“Here, we even going to help you heal your wounds.” Said Veronica.
“Yeah, free of charge.” Said Ervas.
“Eh?!”
The Crystal Tree saw with a dumbfounded expression in her non-existent face as the duo began to heal her wounds. Her crystals were brought back to how they looked before as Veronica touched them and used Ervas power, combining the two to regenerate her crystals and even reinforce them, making them several times stronger and better than before.
After that they regenerated her roots and filled them once more with rich divine energy, making her feel rather better with herself, as if she was being given a very good massage.
“Aahhh~ S-Stop! Don’t you think I wouldn’t attack you after you heal me? Y-You fools!” she muttered.
“Would you?” asked Veronica.
“Are you feeling better?” asked Ervas.
“We are sorry for damaging you this much.” Said Veronica.
“(I tried to kill them multiple times, yet they ask for my forgiveness even when they healed me back to full… I even feel way better than before! W-Why are they doing this? I thought they would be way more… I don’t know? Evil?)” the crystal tree sighed internally.
“So? Will you help us out?” asked Veronica.
“Okay… fine!” she said.
“Thank you.” Said the split souls.
“Now, let’s hear what you got on store.” Said Aurora.
“I should start from the beginning because you idiots don’t even know anything after you left, right?” asked the tree.
“Please go on.” said Ervas.
“Sigh… Well, you see. After you two idiots left, my mothers remained in this world, that planet down there, watching over it for eons and eons. At first, they thought they could easily skip through years by sleeping, but after the first thousands of years they began to change, they felt like they were alone by themselves, and began to interact more with the world down there, the world you terraformed… Life was flourishing but there wasn’t anything interesting to see for them, so they ended making the Erveronians…”
“They… how were they born?” asked the split souls.
“After thousands of years of living without purpose my mothers merged together and divided their bodies into two small children, a boy and a girl, which were the first Erveronians, they called them Adam and Eve, and let them populate the world… After hundreds of years, their creation flourished with their aid, generating magic technology and large civilizations. It was the first civilization aside from the new ones down there, who were not created by my mothers but were born naturally through evolution… after the great catastrophe…” sighed the tree.
“The… great catastrophe?” asked Aurora.
“We are not there yet. As I said, the first two Erveronians name Adam and Eve had many children, and our mothers also created more pairings after that, filling the continents with them… they grew thanks to their aid, and the two finally had a meaning in their life other than the desolation of simply looking at a planet slowly develop. They saw their civilization grow over the hundreds and then thousands of years, it was a beautiful era, which was often referred as the Age of the Goddesses, where my two mothers actively descended into the surface of the planet to help the civilizations. Even political problems were resolved by the two over many years, bringing peace and prosperity to the people…” said the tree.
“But then…?” asked Veronica.
“But then… That thing appeared….” Said the tree.
