Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

Chapter 709 - Their Shattered Resolve...



The hivemind was the best example of such a concept, they were a predatory all-consuming race of parasitic and all-absorbing lifeforms. They travel across the universe seeking life and biomass to absorb and multiply their kin. They have no regards towards other lives, and only do as they please, which is their goal as they require to expand and expand endlessly, a never-ending desire of expanding, multiplying, and thriving.

Since the Hivemind showed up that the twins understood that this Universe was a dangerous place, and that they had been thrown in here by their creators out of pure whim. It was as if they wanted them to suffer… they felt utter anger, frustration, and more.

After the civilizations were ruined and after they did everything they could to fight back, they ended sacrificing themselves for the planet they still loved, even if it was a random planet terraformed by their creators, they still loved it veery much, and didn\'t wanted it to be destroyed.

At the end, they fused together with the Yggdrasil Tree that has been growing within one of their divine realms, which used to be just a small branch but that grew into a gigantic tree over billions of years.

By fusing together with it, they became this powerful tree, which entrapped the Hivemind with her roots and then absorbed its energy, leaving it completely paralyzed in the underground of this planet… for eons.

After that, their consciousness slowly began to slow down, they fell asleep for eternity, an eternal slumber where their minds began to slowly decay, fading apart, as the fusion of their souls created a new consciousness, a new being, their child, the tree, Yggdrasil.

But Yggdrasil wouldn\'t let her mothers simply die as miserably as they were, she quickly began a crusade to do everything to bring them back, even if it was difficult, and seemed almost impossible in some ways, she had to do everything she could for her beloved mothers, the ones that had suffered so much through all this time.

Against fate and even against their own wills, she began to gather the fragments of their consciousness that faded away, and reformed them into two new souls stuck to her own soul. Yggdrasil\'s soul had grown very big since her creation, and because her very soul was the fusion of the twins, she was able to easily form their consciousness again and place them in certain corners of her own soul, ready to cut apart so they could become independent once more.

She had grown stronger and had made their new souls just as strong as hers, a combination of all their powers mixed together and given to the two, but there was something bad, the twins didn\'t wanted to wake up. For some reason they found comfort in sleeping for an eternity, without wanting to get involved into anything else anymore.

They simply wanted to rest, and have a break from all the suffering they had gone through. Anyone would want that anyways, after going through so much, people would simply want to lay back and relax, to simply… not do anything anymore other than rest.

However, these twins had the power that could aid Yggdrasil. She required their aid, but they were not answering, even when the planet might be in danger soon as the Hivemind would awaken once more. The Twins were sleeping peacefully, and without waking up yet… it felt hopeless, to be honest. As if there wasn\'t any other hope.

Yggdrasil tried many times to wake them up, to call for them, to whisper to them within their dreams… this was why she thought it would be useless for Ervas and Veronica to use dreams to contact them. She had already used her developing dream magic, and this didn\'t worked either, it was rather hopeless, it was as if… nothing could be done.

Yggdrasil wasn\'t going to give up, though, she was constantly calling to them, every day, and every night, without resting, without giving up. She needed their help the most now, she needed her parent\'s guidance, but they were not answering, the twins were in a perpetual slumber, where they were not waking up from no matter what. This seemed to be a problem she couldn\'t properly resolve, no matter how hard she tried to, nothing was happening…

It was all hopeless! Could there be a way?

And then Ervas and Veronica showed up, perhaps they could do it… But she couldn\'t accept it. Yggdrasil was infuriated against them for all the shit they had left the twins to handle alone. She wanted to teach them a good lesson, and attacked them in a fit of rage unbefitting of a tree like her.

She was beaten at the end though, but she continued to treat them awfully, she hated them for what they had done to their mothers, for all the things they could had done before but never did, because they were not here when they were needed the most. Because they simply… didn\'t do their job as the creators of the twins. But the twins were designed for this, they were made to take care of the planet even while they were not here. She understood that but even then, even when her own thoughts conflicted with the twins\' original desires and mission, she still couldn\'t accept them.

She saw as her mothers were sleeping within this dark soul scape, the two were holding hands and sleeping peacefully, without wanting to be disturbed.

"Is this what you truly want… at the end… you just wanted to give up, didn\'t you?" sighed Yggdrasil.

Indeed, the twins simply wanted one thing.

To give up.
