Chapter 786 - Preparing

-----

The mind of Yggdrasil slowly woke up from her daze, as she looked upwards into the skies, the outer space. Between the moon and the planet of Eden, there was a bright figure, with six feathered wings and made entirely out of golden and white light, a beautiful and glorious entity composed of bright regal brilliance.

A man amongst men, a World-Devourer-Realm Celestial! Yggdrasil couldn't believe what she was seeing, but after checking the entire planet, she realized that the Hivemind had also become a God, but that he was very weakened and wasn't even half the threat that this entity was!

This entity that had come chasing down Veronica and Ervas!

"T-This… How can we even deal with this being?! And he's clearly ominous!"

Yggdrasil began to inspect all the leftover powers she had within her, all the energy emanating from her core and more, and found out there was still a lot of energy there for her to use, perhaps if she could use the very core of the planet as a weapon, she would be able to fight against a World-Devourer-Realm Entity, the same way she had planned to fight the Hivemind in the past.

But would that even be possible? She didn't knew how to exactly employ the power of the entire planet, and it wasn't as if she was the planet, she was just a gigantic tree, no, various of them, which all shared the same soul as her and were spread around the world.

Their roots were spreading and infecting the entire corpse of the Hivemind, which without a soul died instantly, all while also reaching the core of the planet and covering it in their roots.

She was planning on using this mystical world's source energy that the planet of Eden produced to truly defeat the Hivemind… But now, it seems that things had escalated completely out of proportions! How would she even be able to defeat such a powerful being?

Well, there was the split souls, the twins, and the rest of their allies with them, but would all their combined power even make up for it? Yggdrasil knew that the split souls, Veronica and Ervas, had still some locked power within them as they both had devoured the core of both the original Kritias and the Mirror Kritias, and their original power should eb dwelling within them.

She remembered that they had told her that the more they leveled up, the more their original power would be unlocked, and through killing monsters inside the dungeon, their levels had been rising a lot, their Rank as Supreme Gods was reaching the last Ranks before they would be able to reach the peak… and past the peak was the next Realm, the very Realm this being had reached the peak already, the World-Devourer-Realm!

However, how many worlds has he devoured to even attain such a level of power, or were all Celestials this powerful from the get-go? Yggdrasil knew of his identity right away thanks to all the info provided to her by the split souls about Hekaton, Samsara, and his family, which were chasing them around across the Universe.

Now she had to face the reality where everyone was in the verge of fighting against such an entity.

However! There was some strange thing happening. The Celestial intended to actually take this world with him, and he didn't wanted to destroy it in the process of the fight, so he was provoking his enemies to come up.

"Come on, come outside and fight me, you filthy ants. You killed my little brother and now you're scared when his big brother comes to get some revenge? Aren't I in my right to take revenge for my family member? An eye for an eye, as they say!" he laughed.

Veronica, Ervas, Aurora, Anastacia, and Juliette all looked at the scene in silence as they were completely paralyzed by the things that were happening right now. They quickly began to talk with one another through Telepathy, as they tried to make some sense of the situation as fast as possible. The Samsara System also joined the conversation, all while only a few splits of a second were happening.

"Is there any hope?" asked Anastacia.

"I don't know how we can even fight such an entity… P-Perhaps if join forces with Yggdrasil and her trees… No, even then… No… this is… hopeless…!" cried Juliette.

"So they finally found us, I was already wondering why they were taking so long, the phantom of our past has come to haunt us once more, Hekaton, even after we ate you, you're still bothering us… Your entire family is a damn nuisance." Said Ervas angrily.

"There is a chance… Ervas, we have to simply go all out right now…" said Veronica. "I got several ideas, do you?"

"I do. We still got a lot of accumulated power, the leveling we got down there killing the spawns of the Hivemind were not for nothing, I believe we should be able to put up a good fight… We still can do a few other tricks, but would that even be enough?" wondered Ervas. "He's a whole realm above us, and at the peak of World-Devourer-Realm. Perhaps he doesn't want to destroy this world because he wants to devour the core and finally ascend the Realm above that?"

"Yes, that's my theory, due to that, this planet is quite precious, if he cares, he won't try to attack us in a way that might destroy the world… And by analyzing him with double Goddess of Wisdom and God of Wisdom, we were already able to discern that most of his powers are all long-range and wide-range explosive divine blows…" said Veronica. "There is indeed some hope, we have to grasp this opportunity for ourselves if we even want to survive."

"I agree, but what else can we do?" asked Ervas. "There are some… things we could do, we have not tried everything… Hm, we also got plenty of friends there waiting to help, we can also employ their power, but let us not risk them…"
