Novel Full 95 Gaia's Confrontation
“Ugh. My muscles are sore all over.” I grunted as I walked out of the dungeon clad in black scaly armor.
“That’s because you’re weak.” Blanca retorted, her mood still slightly sour from our last talk.
“Well, I have to give it to you. While it doesn’t make up for the wait, the armor is still pretty good. It supports mobility and is exceptionally durable. I don’t have a single scratch on me even though I received attacks from creatures in the liquidous rank and above.” I quickly praised her as I felt as if her mood would have turned for the worst if I didn’t do so.
“Of course! What do you expect from someone as talented as a prodigy like me? You should have expected nothing but the best from my craftmanship!” She exclaimed with her head held high, and her chest puffed out in pride.
“Yes, yes. Of course, princess.” I quickly waved her off with a wry smile
“Ho ho ho! Yes, yes! Praise me more.” She began to shout while I stood there with a wry smile and a warm gaze.
‘Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t split up after the year passes. You never know. This friendship might sprout into something more significant in the future… A lifelong partnership. It wouldn’t benefit me, someone who has achieved immortality, but it would definitely benefit her.’-.
“You haven’t finished my weapon, though.” I interrupted her self-compliment parade and reminded her of what she had to do next.
“Do you even need that weapon? Your mana recently has gone through the roof, to the point where I’m pretty sure that you can just form over 200 earth spikes with the mana capacity. And to think you are only in the ethereal realm” She sighed with jealousy.
“Hey! Don’t try and change the subject now. You know very well that-” My sentence got stuck in my throat as an immense feeling of dread overcame me. It was an amount of dread that I had never felt before. While Blanca seemed to not feel it at all, to me, it felt like I was being crushed under a mountain as I could do nothing but stand still and hope the predator didn’t see me. It was a dread that would have made the old me curl up into a ball and rock myself forwards and backward until my death approached.
It was an amount of dread that would have snapped the minds of anyone who had not felt the sensation of death.

“Ezra, huh… You seem to have taken quite a liking to my planet…” A melodic voice entered my ears, yet due to already having heard a few melodic voices before today, I could snap myself out of my entranced state before looking directly towards the source of this voice.
“You… You pathetic bug.” A woman with green skin and hair as green as the plants found in the amazon forest.
“You come to my planet and do nothing but destroy everything in your path.” The woman’s voice started to become fierce as every word she spoke felt like it had been laced with an amount of rage I could not fathom.
“You come to my planet and lay waste to everything you f*cking touch.” The woman took another step forward, the sound of her footstep booming through the forest and causing every creature, including Blanca, to shudder in utter fear. The gem embedded into her head reflected the sun’s rays, yet their true beauty came from their bright emerald green color.
Activating my blood eyes, I could see that she looked and seemed just like an ordinary being, but there was just one difference.
“A plant? No… A treant?” I asked aloud while slowly beginning to shield Blanca, who currently couldn’t move an inch from where she stood due to the pressure emitted by the creature before us.
“You seem to be able to move, but that is only expected from someone of your kind.” The woman spat in disgust before continuing-
“And no, to satiate that little curiosity of yours, your little red eyes are wrong. I might be a plant, but I am entirely sentient. Your kind might think of any creature without rational thought as but a tool for them to use, but I and everyone on this planet think differently.
I use the plants to create an avatar from myself. I do not control them, but I speak to them and ask them to help me, unlike you creatures of chaos who choose to cut down everything and anything that may stand in your path. You do not make treaties with anything you deem lower than yourselves. You kill and destroy for the sake of it, no matter how many lives you eradicate in your path to conquest.” She spat out again, her voice becoming even more fueled with the rage that burned deep within her eyes.
I could feel her rage…
I could feel her unrelenting thirst for my blood and my blood only.
“I don’t understand what you are trying to say.” I retorted in the only way I knew how. Fake it till you make it, and in this case, I was faking it even though I didn’t honestly know the whole story and instead had just picked and analyzed everything I had so far.
‘The elves clearly had enmity with us from their announcement alone, and while they could have concluded that we humans were enemies right off the bat, I doubt that the warriors would have had so much burning energy in them as they slaughtered humanity. I didn’t know what it was before, but now that I look back at it, I can see it in their eyes. They were angry… No. They were rageful maniacs who wanted nothing but to kill every human in sight.
The fact that there are multiple types of human races also rang an alarm in my head ever since I had got the true awakened human evolution and its definition that describes it to have been one of the most versatile versions of the human race since they. With all this information, I can easily conclude that there was most likely another human race out there in the universe, one which was much more powerful than the human race we had during my era.’
My eyes narrowed down at the woman who stood in her spot unflinchingly. I could see a whirlpool of mana surrounding her and entering her so-called ‘avatar.’
