Chapter 832 Manationia And Yggdrasil's Plan -----
Meanwhile, within Eden, Manationia was being led by Yggdrasil! After her battle against the Hivemind that had been infecting the planet of Eden and defeating him even after becoming a God, she gained an incredible power. Although that was mostly because a clone of Veronica fused with her to give her the upper hand in the battle, now she had ascended into a true goddess herself, and her humanoid form was quite beautiful! Nonetheless, a threat she wasn't even able to fight had emerged, a Celestial! Ervas and Veronica alongside Aurora fought against him bravely, all while Manationia was trying to recover from the battle with the new Octo and her new appearance.
However, as her mentors managed to defeat the Celestial, a fracture in space and time emerged and many new Celestials emerged! A full-blown war happened, Manationia was being shocked, she wanted to help but her power… was not near as enough. However, her mentors were able to fight back with their allies, and then Angels emerged in the last moment to aid them! But things continued changing in the battlefield one after the other, as the thing she never thought would happen happened, the Hivemind Matriarch had come here to invade Eden…
And with that, Manationia was left without being able to do anything… She felt even hopeless, and everyone in the world had suddenly turned into big and colorful eggs to boot! Just what was happening now? She had lived her entire life questioning her future, but now that she had finally reached it, shew as left speechless, she didn't knew what to do…
However, a guiding voice, Yggdrasil, emerged, and told her to come near her, to the World's Tree. Manationia didn't knew what was happening, but she quickly heard her voice as she was confused about the wars going on in the heavens.
"Manationia! Come to me, you're the key to help this planet and fight the threats outside!"
FLASH!
Suddenly, a specter in the shape of Yggdrasil's humanoid body emerged before Manationia, who jumped out of the ground in surprise, falling over her butt clumsily.
"UWAAAH! …Eh? A ghost?" She wondered.
"She's not a ghost, dummy!" Sighed Octo, now that she had the appearance of a cute little girl, she was very adorable looking. "She's the world's tree! Don't you know that there are many giant trees in this world? Well, they're all a single person, a goddess you could call her, she had been protecting you and the people of this world this entire time."
"Is that so…? I-I sincerely apologize!" Cried Manationia, as she quickly kneeled and offered her apologies to Yggdrasil, but the tree had no time to hear her apologies nor she was cocky enough to ask a girl for them. Yggdrasil quickly decided to cheer up Manationia and ask once more for her cooperation.
"Please, Manationia, follow me here, you can use your wings, right? I believe I can find the power to help you. If we combine our strength together, then it could be possible to aid Veronica and Ervas, those that once gave you the apple and also helped you defeat the Hivemind's soul!" Said Yggdrasil.
"Ah! R-Right, I want to help as well! But how am I any special? I am just a girl that got very lucky…" Sighed Manationia.
"You're special, the composition of your soul is incredible, I had never seen something like this before, and your very Fate seems to be blessed with fortune, you're a child born from my world as well, my daughter… I wouldn't think of anyone more deserving of wielding this power than you, the one that saved this planet from the Hivemind too!" Said Yggdrasil.
"A-Ah… Well… If you insist, I guess I'll have to do my best! It would come out as cocky if I tried to not do it, right? And we are in a dire situation so we should really hurry!" Said Manationia, rushing with the phantom of Yggdrasil and Octo at her side.
Yggdrasil smiled warmly, she felt happy that the world had nurtured and create such a girl. From all the corruption there was in this world's society, there was such a beautiful and good-hearted girl such as her here. She was given an apple that changed her life, but she didn't grew corrupted, arrogant, or selfish with it, she grew as a person and fought those that threatened her life all while protecting this Nation and the rest of the world without realizing it.
She had slowly developed something incredible as her soul contained several elements together, when she ascended into a goddess, she became an all-element goddess, and possessed incredibly affinity with all elements, unlike Ervas and Veronica, she was even more talented. This was how special she ended becoming. Yggdrasil wanted her to help her out in helping Veronica and Ervas against the Hivemind Matriarch!
Manationia flew with her enormous and colorful feathered wings, feeling the breeze of the world, she was still very nervous and fearful, but she was being guided by the phantom of Yggdrasil, and felt slightly relieved to have someone to help her.
After a few seconds, she finally reached somewhere.
"T-There's a cave there, made of wood?!" Asked Octo in surprise, the little half octopus floating girl pointed with her tiny index finger at the cave.
"Yes, that's the entrance to the interior of my roots, fly down there and you will find it!" Said Yggdrasil.
"We'll find… what?" Asked Manationia.
"The corpse of the Hivemind." Said Yggdrasil with a malicious grin.
"Eeeeeeh?! The corpse?! W-What do you want us to do with it?" Asked Manationia.
"Absorb it!" Said Yggdrasil. "It is too toxic for me, I cannot really absorb it, devouring it would take me eons, but you've devoured the soul of the Hivemind, I can feel it within you, Manationia, you got the potential to actually devour his body and gain his powerful all-changing physique. If you can compare to the Hivemind's power, you'll be of great help against the Hivemind Matriarch!"
