Chapter 838 Manationia’s Help!
—–The Hivemind Matriarch continued her attempts at catching the Valkyries. Her foes were coordinating together to unleash attacks from long distances, making it impossible for the Hivemind Matriarch to properly catch them and crush them all while devouring them. However, the Hivemind Matriarch had begun to quickly realize they were growing weaker and slower, their energy reserves were running low once more, and unlike the two previous times, it seems that their protector had suddenly stopped bringing them the boost in power they needed to regain their energies.
”I am getting closer to them… I can sense their smell, their warmth, the energies coursing across their body… It is all… so… tasty! I want to devour them… I want to eat them!” Thought the Hivemind Matriarch, her smile grew more and more wicked, she was never a person to begin with, she was born a monster, a beast driven by the most basic of instincts of survival. She wanted strength, power, to expand, to populate the entire universe with her kin… and to devour.
She continued chasing them, faster and faster, until finally, her speed caught up to one of their weakest ones, who ended falling behind the formations due to her exhaustion and her small physique. The Hivemind Matriarch smiled maliciously; her eyes filled with the light of joy over a new prey to fully devour this time around!
She stretched her arms into long noodle-like tentacles, about to catch the Valkyrie and devour her completely!
However.
TRUUUUUUMMM…!
An enormous tremor emerged from within Eden, the Hivemind Matriarch was startled, suddenly stopping her movements as she started down into the planet. She was incapable of moving further as an aura of pure divinity and enormous quantities of concentrated power emerged… but that wasn’t all, this aura, this power, this divinity… it reeked like hers.
”W-What the…?!” The Hivemind Matriarch was left flabbergasted, from within the Planet of Eden, a titan made of hardened, metal-like wood covered on divine golden flames emerged, in the slight shape of a beautiful woman, she had two enormous wings made of golden flames, and long feathered hair with blazing orange-red eyes! This was… Manationia!
Her presence had shocked the Manationia because she immediately thought that Manationia was a part of the Hivemind, she was in fact part of it, somehow! The Manationia couldn’t believe what was happening, this entity was surely not her offspring, yet it had her flesh and even the soul of her offspring! What sort of bizarre entity could become her own kin to such an extent?!
Th Valkyries quickly ran back to Veronica and Ervas as they spotted the five-kilometer big titan Manationia flying into the outer space, as the gigantic Aqua remained around the planet, protecting it from all the rubble and explosions going around that could potentially destroy the entire planet if everything went awry!
”You…! Just what are you?!” Asked the Manationia in utter shock, as Manationia felt the voice of Yggdrasil speak to her.
”Manationia, this is the Hivemind Matriarch! She had acquired the power of an entire star… This is unprecedented, I was not able to predict such levels of power… However, you still have somehow of an advantage!” Said Yggdrasil.
”What? A star?!” Asked Manationia in shock.
”Calm down! You’re now part of the Hivemind itself, you’re even given the authority to enter their collective memory! Octo and I will infiltrate it and try to “hack” the Hivemind Matriarch so she can somehow lower her guard or even lose part of her powers through this connection! But for that, you must resist and keep her in check for a few seconds… Can you do that for me?!” Asked Yggdrasil.
”I sure can!” Said Manationia, as she flew towards the Hivemind Matriarch without even hesitating! She suddenly generated two spears made of holy golden flames, and clashed against her the second after!
CLAAAAASSSSH!
The Hivemind Matriarch looked at Manationia hatefully, realizing she was someone strange! However, a second after she clashed against her blazing spears and was about to attempt to destroy her feeble weapons, the Hivemind Matriarch suddenly felt… something enter her inner consciousness!
”W-What is… THIS? UUAGGH!”
Yggdrasil and Octo joined hands, as the two minds were free to do as they pleased, they flew into the Hivemind’s main consciousness, which was shared amongst all units! It was like an endless network of many roots of light that spread almost endlessly.
”So this is… the mind of the Hiveminds… Interesting.” Said Yggdrasil. “But they seem to have almost all died except the matriarch.”
”And she’s… is that her?” Octo asked, pointing at an enormous eye floating in the sky of this network of consciousness. It looked down at them menacingly.
”Who are you?!” It asked.
”We are your virus.” Said Yggdrasil with a cheeky voice, as she and Octo flew towards her!
”I won’t allow you invaders to do as you please with my mind!” The Hivemind Matriarch roared back at them, as she unleashed countless mind attacks against the minds of Yggdrasil and Octo!
FLUUUOOOSSSSHH!
However, the two unleashed their mind power as well, clashing against her pressuring mental might! And surprisingly, overpowering her!
CLAAAASH!
”W-What?! This is impossible… How can you be stronger than my mind?!” Asked the Matriarch.
”That’s not impossible, your mind is just a slightly stronger one, but it doesn’t share the might of your soul nor your body, Hivemind!!!” Roared Yggdrasil, as she pushed forward with Octo, infecting the enormous eye with their minds, and slowly attempting to take over!
The Hivemind Matriarch was attacked by them, feeling unnerve, she felt as if she was about to collapse at any moment, her entire body could barely resist what was happening to her! Her power, had greatly reduced as a result of her attempting to overcome this mental attack! Now… it was the perfect time for Manationia and the split souls to strike her!
Manationia clashed against her with all her might, her spears of golden flames became stronger as she continued to pour divine power into them, the Hivemind Matriarch should be more than capable of defending against such attacks, but somehow, she became slower, weaker, and less menacing as her mind was slowly being attacked!
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
