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

-----

Apparently, Yggdrasil had a big labyrinth inside of her roots! Indeed, just as she had said, her massive roots which pierced the tectonic plates of the entire planet of Eden were enormous and hollow inside. She had been using them to pierce the Hivemind's body and absorb its energy, stopping it from growing any bigger. These roots were hollow and had enormous and entire ecosystems by themselves.

However, Yggdrasil had stated that her consciousness couldn't go all the way down there, although she had stated that she might use this current human-like Avatar in here to travel down there and guide everyone through the underground labyrinth of her own main body, the massive Yggdrasil tree.

In the past, Anastacia and Juliette had fought the Hivemind with all their strength and were not able to defeat it no matter how much power they put into the fight, even by trying their hardest, it seemed impossible to defeat it. The Hivemind copied their spells and even divine techniques, and absorbed their divine energy to grow stronger, any damage it took was regenerated back at a quick pace, and its power continued to grow constantly.

The twins back then had to do everything they could but even then, it was hopeless. Because of that, they combined their strength and fused together with the mysterious Yggdrasil Tree that they had been nurturing inside of their divine realm, which was once just a branch left by Ervas. The two had nurtured this tree for billions of years and it grew into a wonderful specimen. However, it didn't had a mind of its own but a strong soul. The twins fused with this tree and combined their power into a massive, gigantic living tree, which entangled the Hivemind and pushed it down into the planet's underground.

After The Fall, the Hivemind was entangled in its roots and its power was being drained, despite this, the Hivemind fought back rather angrily, using every power it could muster to try to have an advantage over the twins, who constantly put their minds into the task of absorbing its energy while not letting it absorb as much energy… of course, at some point the twins' consciousness began to fall into a slumber, as a third consciousness surged, their daughter born from their fusion with the tree, simply called Yggdrasil now.

Yggdrasil put into the task of controlling the Hivemind and keeping it in place, but as it grew stronger, she ended dispersing her seed across the planet and made several new bodies, all of them were together pushing down the monstrous entity, while also absorbing its energy and repurposing it to nourish life and nature in the planet itself once more, bringing it back to its former glory.

However, Yggdrasil had committed the mistake of letting the Hivemind absorb the pollution, toxicity and contamination left after The Fall, making it grow stronger without realizing it was a bad thing, as by absorbing this, it only did a great favor to the planet.

But at the end, the Hivemind ended mutating and evolving over the million of years, it gained an even more abyssal and dark form, grotesquely growing into a monstrous being of an even higher caliber.

Was there even hope to defeat this monster now? Well yes, just as it was stated previously, Yggdrasil knew of ways of doing this. Her roots had seeped themselves deep into the Hivemind over the eons, absorbing its energy and getting even more deep into the flesh, slowly reaching the core of it, but not managing to pierce through it completely…

At the end, the soul it had was still protected by a last wall of flesh, but they needed to get down there, destroy this wall, and finally reach the core of the Hivemind to defeat it… such a plan was now being devised, as the details were given out by Yggdrasil. She knew that there was not as much time, so she went into detail about things.

"The entrance to the quickest way down there is through my main and first body… Incidentally, it is near where you landed, a beautiful jungle forest that expands for almost the entire Continent… That area is also surrounded by a big city of these new people… they seem to find living around my body more comfortable, as predators don't get near there." Said Yggdrasil.

"I see, so that's how it is! We should get back there and meet our friend that we meet the other day! Do you remember?" asked Veronica.

"Oh yeah, that girl who we gave amazing powers through an apple…" said Ervas.

"Y-You did what?!" asked Yggdrasil.

"She said she was talentless with magic, so we made her literally the best magician." Said Veronica.

"She deserved it after she helped us out finding you through the knowledge, they had through their religion…" said Ervas.

"Ugh, well, whatever…" sighed Yggdrasil.

"Don't worry about it, she'll be of great help to us in navigating around that area. The people there seems to be interesting but not so far apart from our own societies." Said Ervas.

"Yeah. So we go through there? Is there an entrance in that place or…?" asked Veronica.

"Yes there should be an entrance down there, although it is being currently guarded by the church of these people… So I don't know if it should be fine to simply go down there. Perhaps you'll need to negotiate with the people." Said Yggdrasil.

"Or we could always just force our way down… or sneak." Said Aurora.

"That too." Said Yggdrasil.

"But I would really like to explore that place though! So we'll most likely take the other way around it just for some fun." Said Veronica.

"Okay but not too much fun." Said Ervas.

"Actually, there's something more… Apparently these people had already begun the exploration of my underground roots, which they call the Labyrinth of the World Tree." Said Yggdrasil. Everyone looked at her in surprise and awe. It seems they didn't knew this much, but apparently, the Cephalobidia people had already begun their exploration of such unknown places. Although they had not really reached that far…
