Chapter 1293: Erebus’ Words Of Advice
-----
(Planta’s POV)
What I had to do wasn’t easy at all, but it ended working thanks to all the abilities I’ve been cultivating this entire time, plus a bit of help from Erebus too. Stay tuned with NovelBin.Côm
Combining the Domain into the forest was no small feat though, and it drained me even of my own Soul Energy as I did it.
However, the results were completely worth it! I ended managing to not waste this opportunity, evolving the entire forest of beginnings and making up for what I had to take as a sacrifice to defeat that demon king’s vessel.
The World Boss Authority Domain was incredibly powerful and filled with divinity and spiritual energies, so when it was merged into the Forest of Beginnings while I used myself as the anchor of this combination, everyone was… well, knocked out for a bit.
However, nobody suffered damage or anything, and they might have been slightly displaced from their original positions as the domain expanded and fused with reality and the forest of beginnings.
Now, I glanced from the skies my creation, it was as if I had created a second Domain similar to the one I had back in Earth, but in the forest of beginnings.
However, could it even be called a Domain? It was still vastly different and definitely its own thing too.
The colors, the atmosphere itself, everything.
And my true body, yeah, it also changed. It took upon the true appearance it has after I evolved.
In a way, it got "upgraded" after I possessed it and merged it with my other skills.
And I’m fairly sure my connection to the Domain on Earth has been strengthened, the forest might have absorbed some of its themes, such as Forest of Fantasia and Dreams.
"So many divine spiritual trees and plants!" said the Great Spirit. "There’s even… Stonemen, Ancient Fairy Spirits, Fae and… Are those Higgledingles?! Oh my gosh they’re so cute I’m going to die!"
"You seem really happy!" I giggled. "Like what I did?"
"This is just insane! Can you do it again?! Merge the same domain on top and make it even bigger…!" the Great Spirit got ahead of herself.
"No way, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do that again," I laughed. "It was so hard and exhausting, and doing it once already disturbed and twisted space and the atmosphere of the forest. If I did it again the forest might explode or collapse on itself. Too much of anything is never good."
"Aw man!" the Great Spirit complained. "Oh well! This is more than enough, damn! Is everyone okay though?! Something like a domain collapsing should have done some damage to people…"
"They’re fine, they were just knocked out for a few seconds," Erebus said. "I am… exhausted. I never thought you’ll ask me for such an insane thing, Planta…"
I had asked Erebus to help me do this, without his help it would have been impossible. Thanks to his awakened Void Miasma Magic, the same power he used to break space and invade Earth back then, he was able to help me merge the dimensional membranes of the domain as it "blossomed" into the space within the Forest of Beginnings.
The merge was a success, and this beautiful paradise was born. I anchored my true body right in the middle, keeping the spatial and dimensional membranes together through my body’s own powers.
"Hahah, but you helped me a lot, thank you!" I said. "See now? You’ve helped the forest more than you could have imagined at this moment. You’re shaping to be quite the amazing cute little hero~!" I patted his head; his black hair was fluffy and silky.
"Hmph… well, I’m glad I could be of use," Erebus blushed slightly, although he didn’t know how to respond too well to praises yet.
"Though won’t we need more of her true body’s powers if we fight the Demon King of Death later?" asked the Great Spirit. "And what if we fight Merlinus and we’ll need that power too? If we take out Yggdrasil right now, will the dimensional membranes end up collapsing?"
"They’re rapidly fusing together as Yggdrasil acts as the anchor…" said Erebus. "In a day or two it should be fully merged… But as long as it is not longer than an hour I think Yggdrasil can step out of the forest for a bit… When are you fighting Merlinus? I know a lot about him. After all, he was the leader of my own cult. I could help you.
I know his weak points, the weak points of his tower, I know his past too, and I know his ideals and his desires. Once you get to know who he truly is, manipulating him emotionally shouldn’t be a hard task. His power is very powerful though, the Spatial Magic he possesses was refined through hundreds of years. I copied it though, fusing it into my Miasma Magic to create Void Miasma Magic."
"A-Ah! I see…" I nodded. "We’ll probably fight him very soon, tomorrow… maybe. Right, having you at our side will be incredibly beneficial! If he was truly the leader of your cult back then… we could learn a lot from you, and we could even surprise him if we show you’re still alive to him."
"It could definitely break his spirit or something similar to that!" said the Great Spirit. "Nice! Maybe giving this blud a second chance wasn’t so bad, Planta! I disliked it at first, but it was a good idea! He’ll surely be damn useful!"
"I’m glad you finally understand," I giggled. "Now, shall we go down? We should quickly regroup with everyone and check if they’re doing okay. Come with me, Erebus. We must announce your reincarnation to everyone. As we talked before, no lies or secrets, alright?"
"Fine…" Erebus sighed, as I grabbed his little hand, and we flew together towards Titania’s castle.
"Y-You don’t have to hold my hand, I’m not a child anymore…" he muttered, very childishly.
"Is that so? To me, it feels like you’re still a young boy that is growing," I said. "Perhaps because I knew that… I was able to forgive you and give you a second chance, son."
"…" he remained in silence, getting redder.
Honestly, just like with Gabriel, I’m weak to cute children, I just can’t help but be motherly with them.
So maybe that’s also why I’m being so nice…
This is the curse of being a mama.
