Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest - Chapter 985

-----

FLASH!

The tree was glowing brightly, emanating streams of spiritual essence and mana from within its roots, which quickly "touched" us gently. I felt her emotions and her presence once she touched us. She was very motherly, I felt it. She wanted to protect us, to guide us.

And to help us.

She acknowledged our efforts, and through her "emotions", I could sense a great amount of relief. She looked happy and more relaxed now. The bugs eating her roots were all dead and now she was finally well protected.

"It seems mama is really happy!" Said baby Titania.

"Did we get her approval then?" Asked Rita. "We did, right?!"

"I think so!" Adult Titania nodded. "She seems very joyful and happy now... Then, perhaps you should try asking her, Planta."

"Yeah, I guess you're the only one that could directly speak with a being such as her." Nodded Johanna. "I could try, but my society of Druids do not praise to Yggdrasil but Verdant, so, despite being kind of similar, both are very different godly beings. Yggdrasil seems much ancient and connected with you."

"I suppose so..." I nodded. "Alright, how do I talk with her? Just by speaking?" I asked little Titania, and big Titania too.

"No, not like that!" Both said at the same time.

"You have to get your Soul and Spiritual Powers attuned with her Divine Spiritual Soul first...!" Said big Titania.

"That's right!" Little Titania nodded. "You must go meet mama in person and touch her bark, then, you can attune to her Spiritual Soul, and you can speak to her! Usually mama wouldn't let anybody but me close to her... She can zap most threats that touch her bark! However, I think she'll accept you."

"She'll zap threats away?!" Rita panicked a bit. "Hey, wait a second, what if she ends up killing Planta?"

"Hahah, there's no way!" Little Titania giggled. "...I hope."

"Ugh... Okay, I'll go then." I nodded. "There's no time to waste. Everyone, please just wait for me. I'll come back quickly!"

"Wait, Planta." Mercedes walked towards me, looking into my eyes. "Please, if possible, show this to her." She gave me a broken piece of a golden necklace with coin-shaped ornament that had the engraving of a big tree. "This is the Sunshine Relic we used to slay that Demon King fragment before, remember? It is apparently made with one of the scales of the Yggdragon, what Yggdrasil once was.

Maybe if you show her this item, something could happen?"

"Hmmm, you mean that I could convince her better?" I wondered.

I felt her powers sinking through me, she was trying to speak to me, but I couldn't hear.

I was going to drown.

I was going to die!

I felt my soul slowly dissipating, dissolving through Yggdrasil's divine existence.

I couldn't do anything.

Yet.

FLASH!

A bright pink light surged from within my soul, as I saw Titania appearing, the adult one.

She hugged me tightly, imbuing her warmth into me, and helping me bear with the immense and overwhelming presence of her divine mother.

I had talked with Gods before, but the experience now, it was like nothing I've ever experienced before.

Was this the true power of a true god?

"Hahhh... I-I almost died..." I couldn't help but cry, tears flowing from my eyes.

"Calm down, it's okay... I am here for you." Titania hugged me tightly, leading me upwards. "Mother is waiting for you, she's here."

"W-Where?" I wondered.

"Everywhere."

"What...?"

All of the light, everything.

This was Yggdrasil.
