Chapter 801 - A Strange Event!

-----

The future of this planet depends on you.

These words resonated within Manationia's mind as she looked at the enemy in front of her… Since the beginning of her life that Manationia always looked up into those capable of using magic and wondered if one day she would be able to do the same miracles as them.

However, after she grew up and tested herself, she had no talent for magic, her Songs had no magic on them, and no element would ever answer her songs, her melodies, none of that… She was incapable of bringing forth the elements.

Since then that she felt disappointed with herself, and thought that all the hard work, all the studies, and all the money she had saved were all for nothing at the end, because she ended being just as useless as everyone always thought she was.

Desperate for money to go back to her village, but without any leftover penny, she ended deciding to go hunt some little creature in the forest and sell it, she had hunted small animals before, and she had planned to hunt for a few days until she could make up the money. She had already prepared herself to go back to her parents and apologize for having made them waste so much time and money in someone so talentless…

However, while she was foraging, she suddenly found strange beings in the middle of the forest, standing upright with log-like bodies and long legs and arms, they were indeed very strange, especially because they had no beaks either, she wondered who they were and what sort of strange language they were speaking, only for her to get caught by them and then made to answer several questions, and after that, these mysterious figures gifted her a golden apple.

A strange sweet fruit that they said would make her strong, and would even boost her magic power… Of course, Manationia didn't believed them at first, but seeing how she had nothing to lose anymore, she ended trying it out. And well, right after finishing out the entire fruit, which she found incredibly tasty, something wondrous, that she never thought could be possible by merely eating a fruit happened, her magic was awakened, and for the first time in her entire life, she was able to feel the flow of mana coursing through all the veins of her body.

I was a wondrous feeling that made her feel alive, she was finally able to wield magic and had the power to accomplish her dreams in the most unexpected way possible. And after these beings gave her the gift of magic, they disappeared for a long time before she were to meet them again in the most unexpected way possible some minutes ago… but before that, she had gone through many tribulations due to her own powers.

She discovered that the world was not forgiving even for those with power, and that it was filled with a terrifying truth and a dark cult trying to revive an old god, the Hivemind being in front of her, who was well known as the Dark Lord of the Depths. Anda after facing many threats all related to them, she ended learning more of the truth, and at the end, she faced the new God that the Hivemind had become… and ended being utterly defeated and saved barely by those that gave her power.

And now, she was going for a second round against the Hivemind… However, she couldn't help but feel like it was different this time, she could feel it in every inch of her body and now, she felt completely different! She was now stronger and… even divine. This was what it felt to be a Goddess, and with this new power, she had to defeat the Hivemind for once and "save the planet" although Octo's words were a bit of an exaggeration…

And without her realizing it, her light spread around the entire world, every person across the planet were able to see her bright figure atop the skies, as fi she were a new sun, even the other side of the planet saw her for some reason, the light she emanated was magical, and spread everywhere.

The people was blinded by the light, which then began to shower their entire bodies with magical energy, those that were being brainwashed and controlled by the Hivemind began to slowly wake up as they were bathed in this endless light, their minds realized what was happening, and the prayers directed to him suddenly stopped occurring! But that wasn't all, the people slowly began to fall unconscious, one by one they fell unconscious and the light encompassed them in eggs! Every person in the world of Eden that was of the same original race as Manationia underwent the same changes… but this power wasn't just of Manationia, there was another factor in place, the power that came from the depths of the earth itself.

Enormous wooden roots extended over thousands of kilometers below the surface of the planet of Eden, as all these roots began to give Manationia their energy! This energy began to merge with Manationia's energies and started to converge with them, slowly yet steadily becoming one, which began to spread around the entire world, it was the Yggdrasil tree herself who was also helping Manationia! She used the light she emanated as a conductor of her powers, and she personally healed the brainwashing of the many people around the world! However, an unexpected thing happened when the factor of her powerful primordial energy was added, the people started to fall unconscious and turned into giant and colorful eggs!

The Yggdrasil tree found herself shocked! Just how come the people turned into eggs?! The same thing is happening to them that it also happened to Manationia! However, they were not emanating any divine power, so they were not going to hatch into gods or something. But there was definitely something going on now… Yggdrasil might had unexpectedly caused the evolution of an entire race by boosting Manationia's Healing Light…
