Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest - Chapter 973

-----

Brisingra ran towards her mother, cleaning the tears from her eyes as Planta and her familiars opened the way for her, "patching" the cracks on reality. Her mother noticed her presence approaching, her eyes shifting towards her. Even without her wanting to, her own attention made space and time twist around Brisingra, as her rainbow shield protected her from an invisible wave.

BAAAM!

"Ugh...! M-Mercedes! It's me, please calm down!"

Brisingra fell to her knees, slowly running towards her mother again. Her eyes looked completely silver now, showing glitching colors of the rainbow. It felt like Mercedes was now being possessed by something else, by a power she couldn't understand.

"Bri... sin... gra?"

"Please calm down!"

As she moved closer to her mother, Mercedes looked down and then around her. Her glitching eyes widening as she saw the corpses of her friends, dead. This only made her go madder.

"N-No... Everyone... Why... WHY?! Why did it had to end like this?! WHYYYY?!"

As she screamed in horror, the surroundings around her further glitched, falling apart. The fabric of "reality" within the Scenario started to distort, being destroyed!

RUMBLE!

The entire dungeon was being absorbed into a shattered piece of reality, a crack, a black hole below Mercedes, while the ground below her remained floating. Even those fighting the two Divine Beasts gasped as they saw the world around them twist and beginning to be destroyed.

Stars, nebulas, memories and emotions all mixed together, swirling around Mercedes. Brisingra, Planta, and everyone else gasped as they saw something within her. Something as her body became slightly transparent.

A floating piece of something, a fragment of a transparent, gray colored grass. It emanated an endless brilliance and it twisted everything, it was as if time itself was slowing down and accelerating at the same time!

"MOM!"

As Brisingra screamed, Mercedes opened her eyes again, looking at the destruction she was making. She was terrified, horrified to see her friends' dead bodies turn into particles of light and disappear.

"W-What's happening?! What is this?! Is this reality?! Am I real?!"

As she started to question herself, Planta saw the time tickling. There were less than four minutes left before the system were to forcefully reset the entire thing, which might end in the deaths of all the NPC allies she brought along.

"Is talking not going to work?!" She thought, gritting her jaws. "Will I have to somehow kill her, will that work?!"

It was the first time that Planta didn't knew what to do for sure. It was a sickening feeling, a feeling of helplessness that she never expected from a Dungeon she had imagined would be a challenge, but not something that would escalate out of proportions like this.

Brisingra created a triple-layered bubble of rainbow barriers with her special magic, her mother's ring shining brightly, as the sphere of rainbow rushed down, drawing closer and closer to Mercedes.

"ROOARR!"

"AWOOO!"

However, the roars of the two wounded, yet still alive Divine Beasts reverberated right behind them! Somehow, both beasts caught up with what they were trying to do, chasing them and trying to stop them, they attempted to get in the way!

"Dammit, move away!"

Planta fired a myriad of magic beams against them, made out of channeling her familiar's divine sparks with her divine skill, but the divine beasts tanked all the hits as they rushed forwards.

CLAAASH!

However, a giant made of flames punched both beasts, alongside a half-dragon woman encompassed on a dress of darkness, and then a giantess made of stone, metals and crystals.

It was Mark, Rita, and Lily, arriving right in time.

"Don't worry, we got this!"

"Go! You two can do it!"

"Please help her!"

"You guys!" Planta couldn't help but smile, thanking god she had good and reliable friends.

The trio managed to push the divine beasts away barely, as the sphere of rainbow light reached Mercedes, clashing against an invisible barrier of time around her, and shattering it.

Crack, crack...!

CRASH!

"Mercedes! That's enough!" Planta roared.

"Mother! Please stop, you're going to kill everyone!" Brisingra cried.

"Y-You...?" Mercedes silver eyes looked at the two, her body beginning to distort. "R-Run... Please... run!"

As tears streamed from her face, she became something else.
