Everyone seemed to be despairing a bit deep down. The Hivemind had been able to handle two powerful supreme goddesses at the same time head-on in a million years ago. Now that it had grown so strong, it was more than capable of doing the same, if not even better than before.
There were not many things they could do against it, but Veronica seemed to have come with an idea. Even though the Hivemind had grown so strong, there were always weakness to anything.
"As the Supreme Goddess of Death and Demise I have surpassed common sense in many things… I am capable of bringing death to everything if I put my strength into it. I've been thinking it for a while now… could it be possible to destroy the Hivemind soul?" she asked.
"The Hivemind soul… Yes, it can be attacked. We remember having fought against it in the past. The soul itself is way weaker than the actual body, by far… the problem is how to do it." said Anastacia.
"We had also considered this idea… But the thing is, the flesh within the Hivemind is very strong and possess incredible quality. Its power is capable of taking supreme god-level divine techniques head-on without problems. The soul it has, which is incapable of upgrading unlike the rest of its body, is being held and saved up in the deepest areas of their bodies. It is as if they're aware of their very souls being weak compared to their incredibly adaptive and overpowered bodies." Said Juliette.
"I see, I see, so that's how it is… Interesting." Said Veronica.
"Then there's surely a way. If the soul is weak, we can get to it and break it. without a soul, no matter how strong it is, it wont be able to live and it will die." Said Ervas.
"Death comes to all… I can bring its death as long as we find a way to reach the core of its soul, but for that, we need a strong enough force to pierce through the flesh and reach deep into the depths of its body…" sighed Veronica.
There was indeed a way to do it… there was actually a way! However, to do it correctly, they needed force, something, or someone, or perhaps a lot of people with enough power to pull through the flesh itself and reach the core. Something that seemed gargantuan in nature alone. This thing had grown strong every day for a million years… compared to its past self, is clearly not the same, but an even more superior and even more powerful Hivemind.
To pierce through the flesh of such a being… even with all the powers they had, it was unlikely.
However, Yggdrasil knew of a way, and she easily voiced it out.
"There's a way…" she said.
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
A way?
Is that… really true?
Was she really saying the truth?
"How?" asked Anastacia.
"Yggdrasil?" asked Juliette.
"My roots… My roots are deep into the flesh of the Hivemind, and they had been kept growing inside of its very flesh for all this time. It had tried many times to devour me but its impossible, as I am made out of wood, it cannot assimilate me, it can only do it with living flesh… This way, I've been rooting myself on it, absorbing its nutrients and at the same time… I've been trying to reach its core, where the soul is. My results are…. I've almost done it… however, the entire interior of the Hivemind is a labyrinth by itself. It is filled with strange and bizarre rooms, monsters roaming everywhere… it looks like it's a dangerous place to go into." Said Yggdrasil.
"Oh…?! But we can go there and defeat the damn Hivemind! Actually, that's it! We can use Yggdrasil's roots as our passageways to reach the depth of the Hivemind! If we can reach there, I can easily bend my hand and CRACK! Soul is gone." Said Veronica.
"True… we can embark on a journey to the depths of this planet and reach the Hivemind ourselves… we don't even need to wait for it to resurface to confront it!" said Ervas.
"Indeed, I get it now! We can really just do that… Why would we even let it resurface and destroy everything if we can kill it before it can even regain its full strength? As long as we are careful, we can really reach the depths and slay it!" said Anastacia.
"Yeah… Sister, there is indeed a way to do this now!" said Juliette, as she and her sister celebrated happily. Ervas and Veronica looked at the scene with a smile.
"The interior of my roots is very big and quite hollow, but even my own consciousness cannot reach that far down there… I think there are even whole ecosystems in there, with its own monsters, and perhaps its own people… you'll have to be careful there, the Hivemind might had already begun to proliferate in those depths in the form of monsters…" said Yggdrasil.
"We'll find our way through it… And about some spawns? I doubt there can be any problem with that, we can easily deal with little small fry." Said Veronica.
"Yes… Let's just do this plan instead, it sounds way better and more complete than the others we had before… let's just do this instead of simply trying to drill through it. Through Yggdrasil's roots, we can reach the depths of this beastly monster and destroy its soul! Sounds like a nice plan." Said Ervas.
With the new plan in mind, the group quickly began to chat even more with even more intensity. Despite having it figured it out at long last, they needed to gather as many details from Yggdrasil as possible, alongside preparing and doing all sorts of things before getting down there, so it was going to eventually take longer than just deciding about it and getting down there.
