Chapter 1999: The New World Remade By Her

“We’re getting closer… It’s truly beautiful in here,” Alice said in awe, her eyes wide as she took in the view.
Scarlet and Sapphire reappeared at my side, staring at the scene in wonder. They had been resting as weapons for a while.
“Wow, what a view!” Scarlet exclaimed.
“It’s absolutely breathtaking,” Sapphire added softly.
We stood at the edge of a towering cliff, gazing down at the colossal tree, the endless blue sky, drifting white clouds, the radiant golden sun overhead, the crisp cool breeze brushing our skin, and the thunderous roar of immense waterfalls echoing in the distance.
Birdsong filled the air in an endless, joyful cacophony. The jungle below—vast, lush, and teeming with life—never quieted. Animals and spirits moved everywhere: predators stalking prey, herbivores grazing peacefully, monkeys plucking ripe, juicy fruits, birds tending their nests with care.
When we closed our eyes and simply felt it all, the overwhelming sense of primordial nature enveloped us—something raw, ancient, and unlike anything we had ever experienced.
“Wow…” Aquarina whispered. “I feel like I’m dreaming. What a beautiful place this is.”
“Indeed,” I agreed with a nod. “This is the Divine Spirit Realm Yggdra created. Alright, let’s go see her now. Let’s jump!”
“Jump?!” Ruby gasped, but Celeste scooped her up in a princess carry as we all leaped from the cliff.
“Woohoooo!” Lara cried joyfully. Dozens of wind spirits swirled around her, lifting her gently through the sky.
“Waaaahhhhh!” Ruby screamed, clinging tightly to Celeste as the girl soared with shadow wings spread wide against the blue expanse.
“Hahaha! Why are you screaming? It’s fine—even if you fell from this height, you’d be okay!” Celeste laughed.
“W-What are you even talking about?!” Ruby shrieked in panic.
Aquarina and I glided downward using our auras, hands clasped together as we descended through the air.
My brother cradled Celica gently in his arms, golden phoenix wings carrying them both smoothly through the clouds. A soft, contented smile curved his lips, and the girl blushed deeply in his hold.
Mist flew alongside Nephilim, her light-formed wings resembling those of an angel. A faint halo glowed above her head—part of her new powers, I realized. Fascinating.
“Woooohhhh!”
“Hell yeah!”
We shouted in exhilaration, drinking in the rushing breeze and the breathtaking nature unfolding below us. A flock of vibrant, colorful birds swept past, squawking cheerfully as they flew by.
As we drew nearer to the great tree, we saw huge fragments of land floating around it, small, verdant islands covered in vegetation and miniature forests.
Lower still, a sprawling city came into view, encircling the tree’s base. It was built entirely from living wood, interwoven trees, earth, and stone.
All the buildings I had once created for them still stood, along with their expansive farmlands that ringed the city. Dense forests and jungles pressed in from every side.
We touched down on soft grass and walked forward. There we found Ivy, Selene, and the rest of the Arboren gathered together, conversing quietly.
“May the goddess prosper forevermore!”
“May the goddess prosper forevermore!”
“May the goddess prosper forevermore!”
“Ah, a miracle among miracles, oh goddess!”
“May the goddess prosper forevermore!”
“May the goddess prosper forevermore!”
“May the goddess prosper forevermore!”
They knelt in reverence before the enormous tree, pressing their foreheads to the ground in prayer and worship. I noticed many Arboren had suddenly evolved, overflowing with spiritual energy, their forms wilder and larger, wooden parts and plants merging more deeply into their bodies.
But that wasn’t all. When my gaze fell on Selene and Ivy, the two “Heroes” I had summoned before, I saw they too had changed dramatically. Power surged through them; they had grown far stronger, no, they had evolved.
“Okay, so what happened here?” I asked, glancing around.
“Ah, Goddess Sylphy!”
“Goddess Sylphy!”
“Thank you! Thank you!”
“You have ushered in a new era for us all!”
“We’ve witnessed the rebirth of our small world into something far more beautiful…!”
“Our species itself has evolved…!”
“It’s all thanks to your divine blessing—for creating the Tree Goddess Yggdra!”
“I-I mean, I did create her, but—okay, okay, calm down!” I raised my hands as dozens of Arboren rushed forward, kneeling and offering fruits and vegetables while begging for my blessings. “I get it! I get it—thank you for your… um, faith. Anyway, Selene, Ivy?”
“Goddess Sylphy, the world has been reborn alongside Goddess Yggdra—all thanks to your power,” Selene said, stepping forward. She looked even more like a true Dryad now: nearly three meters tall, slender yet voluptuous, her long green hair composed of leaves in every shape and size, adorned with flowers that formed a stunning natural dress over her green-skinned body. Her sunflower head had transformed into a large bloom decorating the left side of her hair—I recognized her instantly. “It’s all because of you! Thank you, thank you, truly!”
“O-Okay? Okay, calm down…” I muttered as she swept me into a tight hug and lifted me effortlessly, pressing my face against her chest. “Ack…! Selene, you’re so strong out of nowhere…!”
Her grip was surprisingly powerful.
“A-Ahh! I’m so sorry,” she said, gently setting me down. “I-I’ve gotten bigger…”
“Yeah, me too,” Ivy nodded. She remained comparatively small, yet her presence had become far more majestic and spiritual. She wore a dress of purple and dark flowers with leaves; her long purple hair was tied in a neat ponytail, and her eyes had sharpened to a vivid purple. Where Selene radiated pure lifeforce, Ivy carried an aura of poison and toxins drawn from plants.
“Well, yeah, I can tell!” I said with a nod. “It’s incredible, though… Anyway, I think I should check on Yggdra first. Is she awake? I’ve been trying to reach her, but she seems to be sleeping.”
“She is in a dream-like state,” Alice explained. “I believe the sensory overload from her recent evolution has overwhelmed her. Becoming so vast, existing not only here but across such an enormous area outside in Cloudia as well, must be exhausting.”
“I see. That makes sense. I’ll go help her then,” I said with a nod. “Ah, right—one last thing. How are the Robotians doing?”
“Their floating island remains mostly untouched, though it has grown much larger,” Selene replied, pointing upward. “As beings of metal and wires, they were likely unaffected by the changes. Still, they must be astonished at how vast the world has become.”
“Got it. I’ll check on them,” I said.
I stepped onto the teleportation circle with Alice and Aquarina, and we headed to see the Robotians.
