BXBX NOVEL Chapter 694 - The Hivemind
These powerful beings seek the devouring and assimilation of all life in the universe, and this was only but a small being amongst the larger colonies that spread across the Universe.
The two-goddess fought against this being with everything they could, the power of such all-adapting race of aliens was fierce, they could easily adapt to most forms of energies and had mastered magic themselves, being adept at all elements at the same time too.
The two goddesses had an arduous fight against the monstrous entity, although they had grown very strong over the years due to the prayers of their citizens and they reached Supreme Goddess Realm, the two were doing their best to damage even if a little bit this monstrous being, the Hivemind knew no bounds to its power, seemingly being an invisible and perfect being capable of adapting to anything… it even slowly adapted to absorbing divine energy and it began to slowly receive less and less damage from the goddesses attacks and assaults, the goddesses were left with very few options…
This being\'s power seemed not never end, it had an incredible efficient metabolism, and it could shapeshift its own body as it wanted. It also seemed to have no boundaries, things, and terms such as "realms", "divinities" and the like were non-existent for them as these beings only grew stronger by devouring and absorbing energy, much like a little fairy around here, or well, her creator.
However the Hivemind was not alone, it expanded its power and self-duplicated into thousands of small drones of itself, which it sent to invade the planet while it battled the goddesses, using their power to absorb the life there and adapt to it… many empires and nations fell to their power, while the goddesses couldn\'t do much to help their people as they were in a stalemate against this monstrous entity that continued to evolve the more they fought against it.
Even when they had managed to damage it greatly by summoning a deadly All-Consuming Void Black Hole that took 2/4\'s of its entire mass, the monstrous being simply regenerated it back bit by bit, while learning about such a power and even managing to self-replicate in perfection! It used it against the goddesses themselves and they went through even more hardships than before due to its ability to self-replicate spells and techniques with its incredible learning abilities.
As they desperately saw everything, they had built fall apart the goddesses called for the help of their parents for multiple times, even after millions of years, even billions of years, they still remembered these powerful figures, but like before, they never came, they were alone into this, left to survive on their own, they irresponsible creators seemed that would never return… never.
After an arduous battle that lasted almost a year, the goddesses realized that it was impossible to kill this being, no matter how big the wounds it took were, it would regenerate back and even come back stronger. It absorbed the sunlight for nourishment and any attack also became their energy.
Ultimately they had to do something drastic, seeing how the world had come to a complete apocalypse and as 99% of the population of all life was extinct, the goddesses saw no point in holding back any longer in fear of damaging the frail life they couldn\'t protect, sorrowfully and in tears, they used their power, combining it together to summon a massive Yggdrasil Tree by absorbing and self-replicating the seed branch left by the original tree made by Ervas inside of the clones divine realms.
This Yggdrasil tree had grown big over many years and they simply employed it, fusing themselves with it and using it to overwhelm the Hivemind, using this monstrous tree to push down the gigantic being into the surface and pierce through the tectonic plates, forcing the monstrous being\'s body and its gigantic and self-regenerating soul into a slumber, the two goddesses used their tree-body to parasitize the being\'s body and absorb its nutrients, while the monster naturally absorbed energy from the environment, which the tree absorbed back and sent to the environment once more. They were essentially locked into a stalemate even to this day, the two beings continuously fought one another while sleeping, as the tree grew larger atop the surface while the fleshy roots of the Hivemind grew larger in the underground.
But then how did they came to the moon if they fused with the tree and ended in the surface? Well, it all came down to a single answer.
"My mothers are still down there, but at the same time they\'re still here as well. This entire Divine Realm is my own Divine Realm… I am the personification of the Yggdrasil Tree that is stopping the Hivemind, and I\'ve fused with my mothers long ago… the two that you see inside of me are their recreations which I have been trying to make this entire time, their souls had been transferred here slowly, while I had moved a large chunk of my soul to the moon alongside all the survivors of the Erveronians race to take care of them… I had effectively divided myself and slowly brought the souls of my mothers with me, while leaving the Yggdrasil Tree\'s task to my own soul down there as well." Said the Crystal Tree.
"Y-You\'re actually the tree we saw down there… but its soul?!" asked Aurora in shock.
"B-But this is… I had never thought about it…" said Veronica.
"I had inherited the powers of my mothers and I am capable of dividing myself and share the same soul through my division… I had generated a crystal apple fruit in my original body which became this new body, I used it to fly to the moon and plant myself on my own divine realm while resting in here…" said the Crystal Tree.
