Chapter 696 - Dreams?
-----
"I wonder if we can do something to help them… Maybe I can help you out! I am pretty good at handling souls, you know? If you want, I can nourish your soul, help you separate the souls of the twins, and insert them into their new bodies." Said Veronica.
"I also possess such power and it's not so easy, it took thousands of years to separate them for a reason after all, the reason being that our souls were too mixed with one another, it ended being extremely hard to separate them properly… it was like taking bits by bits over a long period of time, if I committed a mistake, my mothers souls would get mixed again, making everything a mess once more…" said the tree. It seemed that things were not as easy as Veronica thought.
Veronica had offered her help in the issue of reviving the twins, but it appeared that they were in a comatose state, and also the soul separation process was something incredibly meticulous that the Crystal Tree didn't trusted Veronica could do properly.
It was only natural, anyone that were to see her being so cheerful and active would think she was a hopeless dork, and dorks don't do a good job at what they say they're good at.
"I can't? I am sure I can help. I will do it for you, so stay there! I'll bring back the twins in no time- Ah!"
"I told you to stop!"
SPARK!
A strong thunderbolt almost impacted Veronica, the tree had no trust on these beings, she still hated them with her very core, letting Veronica handle her soul and that of her mothers was something unthinkable, it was like letting your worst enemy handle your heart transplant surgery, she thought that something bad was bound to happen!
"Although I am almost done, there is still some time before I am done… I don't trust you, even after what we spoke… I cannot let you touch them… they're the treasure of my life, I won't let you lay a hand on them!" said the tree.
"Okay, calm down… I won't force my way." Sighed Veronica, waving her head.
"…You're really rude after everything… maybe we should teach you a lesson again." Said Ervas, feeing angered that the tree dared to attack Veronica when she only and humbly meant to help. Ervas loved Veronica a lot, and immediately felt frustration the moment her good intentions were received with ill will…
His ruthless side emerged for a bit, but it quickly dissipated.
"Don't worry, calm down… Everything's fine, Ervas." Said Veronica, petting Ervas head.
"…Fine." Sighed Ervas.
"Heh, I thought you would act like that, I knew you were just pretending! You're still my enemies at the end, you're just monsters, monstrous beings that only think of your selfish desires and only think of yourselves! Leaving my mothers alone to do all the fighting, to do everything… Hypocrites, all of you! Now that I've told you everything… get away from my sight! I don't want to see you anymore…" said the crystal tree, roaring with anger as thunderbolts came from her body, although they didn't targeted them.
"Is there really no way to talk this out?" asked Ervas.
"No!" said the tree.
"She's such a grumpy girl… Fine, let her be, she'll soften up in its due time… there's still some time before anything happens… let's stay here and assess things out," said Veronica.
"You're right…" sighed Ervas.
"I will never soften up to you two! I would rather die!" said the tree.
"Yeah, yeah, sure… whatever. You don't mind if we stay in this divine realm?" asked Veronica.
"…Do as you want; not like I can stop you in that regard… But don't dare hurt my people. They're the last remnants of my mother's children…" said the tree.
"Don't worry about it, they're also technically our children too." Said Veronica.
"Don't dare call them your children!" said the tree angered once more.
"Haha, she's so funny getting angry all the time, right, Ervas, Aurora?!" asked Veronica while trying to lighten the mood. Although the two were incredibly gloomy after hearing everything, and their moods were worsened by the rude attitude of the tree. It all combined together to make up for a terrible mood.
"I hate that tree. I can't believe it was made of the twins… have they become such people? Do they really despise us so much?" asked Ervas.
"W-Well, that's how it is…" sighed Veronica.
"I think it's a bit unjustified, they're being way too rude over this and it wasn't as if you could help or know about this, blaming you for all the evil in the world won't resolve the evil of the world, right? She's being the hypocrite here… the twins are in comatose, so maybe they had changed over their slept." Said Aurora.
"Maybe… or maybe not…" sighed Ervas.
"Aw, come on, cheer up! Alright… Erm… Oh! Wait a second…" said Veronica while rubbing her chin and raising an eyebrow, looking rather cartoony while doing so.
"…What is it?" asked the other two while being as gloomy as possible.
"I've not thought about it, but if they're in a comatose, its like sleeping, right? Maybe we can visit the twins in their sleep! That tree seemed to talk as if she knew everything, but I bet she hasn't tried using dreams to talk to them, she seemed like a noob in that regard." Said Veronica.
"Dreams… you're right." Said Ervas.
"Wait! Maybe if we convince the twins that you two are not so bad, then they can convince the tree of stopping being such a crybaby, right?" asked Aurora.
"It does indeed sounds good!" said Veronica.
"Hmm… Maybe we should try that… But not now, I am tired…" sighed Ervas.
"Yeah, me too. Let's go back home for now. How about we have dinner while we explain things to the crew back home?" asked Veronica.
"Sounds good." said Aurora.
"Let's go." Said Ervas.
The trio quickly moved into the divine realm, as the tree heard their conversation.
"Dreams? What kind of stupid plan is that?" she sighed.
