Chapter 700: Decisions
—–
The tale of this world was mesmerizing, the amount of history it had shocked Ervas and Veronica’s family and friends, but what could its name be? They don’t remember ever giving it a name.
Well, the name the twins had given to this planet was Eden. Because it was their little Eden Garden, the beautiful planet, their home, the place where they belonged and where they felt complete, the void they had felt at the beginning was filled by their love to this planet and its people.
Even after the massive catastrophe, the twins still saw this world as their Eden, their wills remained within their fusion with the tree, giving birth to the new consciousness of the Tree, who saw the two as her mothers.
Loving Eden as much as they did, she used all the powers she could to make sure it was filled with life as much as it once was, of course, life began to adapt and grow even after the tree didn’t gained a consciousness of its own. When it opened its “eyes” the world was already developing back to how it was, the desertic lands were less, and there was more greenery here and there, the world was slowly filling itself with nature and many lifeforms lived around the massive crater where the Yggdrasil Tree grew from, as it was the place with most nature and life in there.
It spread its divine influence everywhere it could, enhancing the entire planet with even more nature, nourishing the still-evolving lifeforms, and bringing forth a completely new era in this world, an era named the Afterfuture…
The beings in this world evolved in all sorts of ways, until one race of them, descendants of mere sea snails, evolved intelligence, complex thinking, emotions, and more, and had even discovered the ability to utilize magic in some cases, giving them an advantage over other beasts in this wild world, now it was not of the Erveronians, but of these naturally evolved sapient race.
However, the tree had to plan something out against the Hivemind, it was evolving greatly and it might one day take over the world once more, the tree spread its seed and new bodies were formed across the planet, which served to restrain the enormous Hivemind on place with all the power they could muster!
Using this wondrous power, the Yggdrasil Tree, which simply referred itself as “tree” began to spread its power everywhere in the planet.
But even then, it seemed dangerous, and she needed the help of her mothers, and their divine guidance.
However, their consciousness had been in slumber, and had been slowly spreading and splitting apart, it took thousands of years of meticulous actions to reform them back up, and slowly separate these consciousness into parts of the main fused soul once more.
The tree generated a Crystal Apple with the power to survive in space, and launched it into the silver moon, where this apple, a new body of the tree, planted the divine realm in there for the protection from the Hivemind, and then the crystal tree grew inside the divine realm, growing bigger and more majestic.
It generated and slowly revived the bodies of the twins, which were fused into the tree and disappeared, forming them anew, these two bodies grew larger and more divine, however, the consciousness and souls of the twins were still developing, and it seemed that the slumber that they had self-inflicted into wasn’t stopping, the twins were still sleeping and wouldn’t wake up…
Everything was developing at a slow pace, but the last thousands of years, the Hivemind had woken up, and had begun to release powerful shockwaves of energy which the tree had contained with its might and the many bodies it had… but there were other shockwaves, radio-like signals that traveled into outer space, as if… it was calling for backup.
The split souls learned this from the tree as well, who had went into a bit more detail.
“Now, we came here after all of that, and we really felt down knowing that they could had used our help in all of this, I feel like we were terrible parents.” Sighed Veronica.
“Indeed… We did wrong, I have to admit it, we should had done something more, something to… know that so much time would had happened.” Sighed Ervas.
“You shouldn’t blame yourselves, you’ve done more than enough, and you had your whole lives in Kritias and all of that to take care of…” said Anna.
“Indeed, you shouldn’t overthink it, now that we are here, we should find a way to help instead of simply weeping for something that could had happened, but didn’t.” said Pekorina, she surprised everyone with her very mature opinion.
“Wow that was surprisingly mature!” said Aurora.
“W-What are you implying?! I am mature!” said Pekorina.
“Anyways, Pekorina is right, this should be our next course of action. We have to offer our help to the tree and the twins and amend for our irresponsibility… we’ll destroy this Hivemind thing, and even if it brings friends, we’ll slay them too.” Said Veronica.
“But… didn’t you heard how strong that thing was? It could withstand the power of supreme gods like nothing! I can’t even imagine what a massive group of them could do…” sighed Ditoyle.
“We can handle it; we just have to keep growing stronger with the tools we have at our disposal.” Said Aurora.
“I don’t want to lose you again…” sighed Ditoyle, as Violet also looked at Aurora with puppy eyes.
Aurora sighed.
“I-I am not going anywhere! Calm down, come on, we can do this, let’s not think that we’ll fall and die…” said Aurora.
“Indeed, this time it will be different than in Kritias… We’ll use everything we have acquired, everything we have developed, and everything we possess to fight back…” said Veronica.
“And win… We’ll make that race of aliens go extinct.” Said Ervas.
The split souls were already decided… an ultimate battle against the Hivemind, and perhaps many of its vessels might slowly approach the near future.
Would they be able to win against the monster that not even the twins could defeat?
