Novel Full Chapter 721 - Planning
-----
Anastacia and Juliette slowly felt better as they greeted more of the people they had missed ever since they were left here. After so many billions of years, they had simply forgotten about them and had decided to move on, never expecting that they would end up finding them once more in here of all places, and with a new daughter for them too in the form of Yggdrasil.
The original anger they had against Ervas, and Veronica quickly diminished with every single person that they had been missing for so long, feeling happier and more soothed with the thought and knowledge that they were fine and healthy, and in front of them, growing stronger than ever before too…
As they greeted everyone here, they quickly decided to make a meeting in this place, the big cafeteria where everyone was enjoying some meals. The people around didn't knew a thing about what they were talking so it didn't mattered even if they addressed things such as the Hiveminds.
"So we are here for our official and first strategy meeting regarding this entire ordeal. There are many thing we must discuss today, so make sure to sit tightly and order whatever you want to eat as well… It will be an arduous and long day." Sighed Anastacia.
"I-Indeed…" sighed Juliette.
"I'm on it!" said Yggdrasil, as a massive sundae was brought to her, the beautiful and colorful ice cream of various flavors was decorated with all sorts of beautiful colors, candies, cookies, cream, fruit, and more… it really looked like a pretty drawing by itself, but it was in fact just a lot of ice cream with many stuff atop it!
Yggdrasil's gray eyes shone brightly as she took a spoon and began digging in, getting her face all filled with ice cream. She ate like a little child.
The other children, incidentally, decided to also order ice cream because that one really looked way too good. And at the end, most of the kids ended eating ice cream while the entire meeting began.
The rest of the people just asked for tea and coffee to pass the day. The thing was going to be long.
"First of all we want to adress that we don't want to show more hostility to Veronica and Ervas…" sighed Anastacia.
"Indeed, we apologize for how we reacted yesterday and… well, we want to start anew." Said Juliette.
"It still rather frustrating but at the end, we cannot do much about it other than accept it and slowly calm ourselves down…" sighed Anastacia.
"Mothers… Thank you for being considerate." Said Yggdrasil.
"Indeed, thanks a lot for your consideration… We don't really deserve it but… We'll take it anyways… I-I am personally very sorry for this too. I feel regretful for not having been able to learn about this time difference before…. We should had been more careful…" sighed Veronica.
"I agree, we should had been more careful, more meticulous… But we were doing all of this randomly, just because it was a passing thought and we decided to terraform the planet, we made you two so you could look over it as a side project and then come back one of these days, but… to think so many things occurred, it really left me speechless. And of course… I am also very sorry for this. I should had been more careful- We should had been more careful…" Said Ervas.
"I see… I guess it is fine if you feel like that." Said Anastacia.
"Indeed… I am glad you understand." Said Juliette.
The two were still sound rather angered deep, deep down, but they tried to be polite nonetheless. Ervas and Veronica realized this as they nodded gently.
The thing finally began at long last, as the twins began to discussion going straight to the core of this entire topic.
The Hivemind.
"The Hivemind… It has already been confirmed by Yggdrasil that despite her efforts and the many clones she had made of herself to hold it back, it still growing and trying to move to the surface… Yggdrasil calculates that in some time, it might resurface at long last." Sighed Anastacia.
"Sigh… We worked so hard to pull it down, thinking that over time it would weaken and die… But a the end, this thing is still alive and trying to resurface… Seriously, unlike us, this thing never took a break… And the worst part is how strong it is…" sighed Juliette.
"Will it even be possible to fight and defeat a being of such caliber? I feel like… even now, if you as supreme goddess couldn't defeat it, what hope do we have? I've been thinking it would be better to just escape the planet, son." Sighed Jason. He was known for being a concerned man that always prioritized the safety of the people. Abandoning the planet, as harsh as it sounded, felt like a natural thing to do in this situation. If they already were able to terraform a planet, another one wouldn't be so hard, right?
"I agree with my husband. I also am up for the suggestion of abandoning the planet. I think it shouldn't be hard to gather all the people and most of the animals into my son and Veronica's divine realm and then go off on our own… In fact, it seems rather logical. This outer universe is very vast after all." Said Aleksandra.
Ervas parents had a good point there, but there was no way that the twins nor Yggdrasil would give up the planet, it wasn't within their mindsets to do such a thing.
"I am sorry, but Eden is just… not a place we can leave behind." Sighed Anastacia.
"In the standpoint where you are, it seems logical to do… But we can't abandon our planet." Sighed Juliette.
"I agree, we can't… Even if we die trying, we cannot let it alone. After all this time nurturing it…" sighed Yggdrasil.
Everyone fell silent, but they nodded and understood it.
"Of course! That was just a suggestion, we are staying and helping!" said Jason.
"Yeah, it was just our opinion, you can count on us, dears." Said Aleksandra.
