The moment that Ervas threw the Hivemind upwards into the sky with his powerful attack, he began to burn through the power of life and nature slowly consuming and taking root over his body…
However, the Hivemind felt this enormous light hit him directly, coming right from the sky! The Hivemind fell like a meteor from the skies to the ground, reaching a desolate wasteland far away from the duchy of Yggdra. The light was so intense that it even began to burn through the power of Ervas left over his body.
CLAAAASH!
The Hivemind's gigantic and dark body looked upward in horror, he was seeing something utterly alien to him that he had never met through his entire life, not even through the connective consciousness of the Hivemind!
His crimson-red eye couldn't believe what it was seeing, it simply couldn't! What was in front of his eyes was a massive entity made of pure Soul Light.
This Soul Light vast and powerful it felt like it could easily end an entire planet if it wanted to! This was obviously a being not related with the Hiveminds at all.
The Hivemind had sent a message to the rest of the colony some time ago, asking for their assistance, but he didn't got anything in return yet… Nonetheless, now that he had detached himself from the Hivemind colony by itself, he didn't knew if he would even be heard of now.
He might as well be completely alone on his own, the Hivemind wouldn't help someone that dared to detach himself from them and become independent, he had to fight on his own, and he was alone on this!
Well, he had always been alone anyways. Since the beginning of his journey, since his birth into this Universe filled with dangers as a small Hivemind Larvae, that he never felt like he was even accompanied.
He was an entity that thrived in being alone and devouring biomass and nothing else, but now that he gained a greater consciousness, a mind, and emotions, he began to wonder the many things that he had experienced, but there was a thing inside of his mind that had never faded away, and that was that he would always be able to do things on his own!
The Hivemind had reached this far by itself, why wouldn't it continue moving forward this way? …However, now that such an entity had emerged, he was left without many options to begin with.
The Hivemind looked into this entity, or well, he tried to do it as best as possible, but its appearance could be barely discerned.
The entity looked like a being made of golden light and covered by golden feathers, holy in all of its nature, but not exactly related with The One at all. No, this being was more related with a bastard named Samsara! This being was actually related with an old enemy of the split souls, Hekaton!
The entity's voice resonated across the entire skies- no, the entire planet.
Every living being across the planet of Eden heard the voice of this tyrannical being that had emerged from outer space with the intention of destroying the enemies that had killed his sibling, Hekaton.
"At long last, we have finally found you, the ones that killed and devoured our brother, Hekaton… You sinners have dared to do such a thing against our family, the only thing you can expect from us now is mercilessness!"
The figure of a young and slender man with bright white hair and shiny golden eyes showed up.
His figure was so beautiful and wondrous that many would confuse him for an actual angel! His hair was decorated by feathers made of gold, and he had six wings made of golden yellow light on his back, while wearing a simple white toga for clothes, and sandals on his feet. Such a fashion sense was very simplistic, but it fit with the entire aesthetic he gave off of a being of holiness.
The Celestial's entire body emanated a powerful and transcendental presence, so strong it distorted space and time around him, making of his entire presence even stronger than it could originally be.
The presence by itself made him seem to be like a second sun that had suddenly showed up, those incapable of seeing through the light thought that something weird was happening.
Meanwhile, Ervas and Veronica looked in shock at this entity. However, they decided on using their powerful Wisdom God Skill, and they immediately realized that this entity was nobody else than part of Hekaton's family, it was in fact one of their members dedicated to fighting, a warrior son of Samsara, a Celestial!
They knew about this and more from the fragments of memories from Hekaton. After devouring the Transmigration God, they learned many things regarding the Samsara Family, and the System also helped them in giving them some insights.
"This power… Veronica, Ervas… This being is…!"
The System itself also emerged in her ethereal form. She resembled a beautiful lady made of golden yellow light so ethereal she seemed to be made of pure brightness.
She looked upwards as well, like everybody else.
The level of power of this entity alone seemed to surpass anything the split souls had ever fought before in their entire lives… the System knew this immediately as she recognized a "sibling" from his "father", Hekaton.
The being's presence was so strong and frightful that the System itself began to tremble in fear for a moment. However, the presences of Ervas and Veronica slowly calmed her down, as she tried to assess the situation as best as she possibly could…
And she quickly told them what she knew, although they might had already figured out things by themselves too…
"This is… It can't be…!" she sighed.
"Is it…?" asked Veronica.
"Yes… It is a World Devourer Realm entity! And a Celestial…" said the System.
"So they finally found us… But is it only one?" asked Ervas.
"Yes… Only one. I can only feel a single disturbance in spacetime." Said Aurora.
"Nonetheless… Can we even handle this?" asked Anastacia.
"T-This is… way ahead of our own capabilities…" sighed Juliette.
"Hahahaha! What's wrong? Come! Let's fight! It would be a pity to destroy this beautiful world filled with life, I want to keep it for myself after all!" said the Celestial pridefully.
