Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

After further explanations of my powers, the elders were left utterly perplexed, but ultimately accepted my offer and allowed us to go. Not without some of their help. They decided to let us bring a battalion of twenty of their strongest soldiers, which we checked one after another to see they weren't evil cultists in disguise.

Alongside that, one of the Generals also decided to come with us, the second in command of the soldiers, a red-skinned Majin man with a very tall, muscular frame, a single black horn over his forehead, and short blonde hair and black eyes with red pupils, Sir Crimson.

"This is all we can offer you, Planta, Mercedes." Sighed the Majin Elder. "We can't give away more of our soldiers or the security of the city would be greatly compromised. I hope you can understand…"

"I completely understand, so it's fine." I smiled. "Thank you for the help nonetheless, I am sure they'll be useful fighters!"

"We'll be on your command, Lady Planta." Sir Crimson said, putting his hand over his chest as a way to greet as a soldier. "How… shall we go to this destination?"

"Right, now that we are all together, we better just go right away." I nodded. "Mercedes, are you feeling alright? Ready?"

"Yes, I've rested enough for now, Planta. Thank you." Said Mercedes with a nod. "Your food has recovered most of my exhaustion after eating it, so I feel as good as new. I… There's a lot for me to process, but we can talk about this on the way down there."

"Yeah, there's some things we also need to discuss with the whole group." I nodded. "Anyways, everyone, stand within this square-shaped domain I created."

As everyone did that, I activated one of my Abilities, which belonged to the [Yggdryad's World Tree Seedling (Divine Grade): Level 4], the ability itself was called [Return Home] and it allowed me to teleport to called [Spiritual Checkpoints], one which I had placed within the Verdant Continent, not so far away from the Yggdrasil's Forest.

"{Return Home}"

FLAAASH!

As we disappeared from the scene, a flash of bright green and golden light engulfed us completely. A second later, we all appeared outside of a huge and lush green forest, full of the sounds of birds, and the cries and roars of all kinds of animals. The orchestra of the forest was very lively.

"We're here…" I sighed in relief. "I am so happy it actually worked!" I patted the big tree that allowed us to get here.

"I-Incredible, we teleported in a single second from all the way up Cloudia to down here?!" Mercedes gasped. "How did you even do it, Planta?"

"It is thanks to this ability I have, allows for the teleportation between checkpoints I create in the shape of big spiritual trees." I explained. "As you can tell already, I am not really an elf, nor a dragon. I am a Dryad, that evolved into a Hamadryad, an Yggdryad, and then an Yggdragon…"

"Y-Yggdragon?!" Mercedes asked.

"Yes, a successor of sorts, perhaps." I sighed. "As you've already learned, we come from… Well, you could say the future. In the future this forest will become the Forest of Beginnings. And the Yggdrasil Tree will be destroyed too, by the very Divine Beasts protecting it."

"But that's…" Muttered Mercedes. "No, I need to keep myself calm. So you've come to prevent this?"

"Yes, but there are also many questions I have right now…" I sighed. "One of them is, has the Demon King of Miasma appeared yet?"

"The Demon King of Miasma?" Wondered Mercedes. "Well, from what I know, all Seven Demon Kings originally emerged as Fragments of Erebus first, shapeless and formless, barely possessing their original powers. Once they were dealt with by the Gods personally on their weakest states, they were sealed once more.

It seems that what the Yggdragon did to seal Erebus didn't work completely, and Erebus fragments eroded at the seal, breaking out eventually as their primitive, pre-transformation forms. The God of Creation was the first one to defeat Erebus, placing stakes of judgement in all seven fragments."

So that's how it happened. I did learn from the memories I saw from Erebus that the God of Creation dealt with Erebus when he wreaked havoc on the Heavenly Realm of the Gods at the very beginning of this world. But that ended being fragments and small visions of what had truly happened, not the whole thing.

After that, it seemed to not be enough, and the perfect creation of the Gods, made by combining all their divinities in total harmony, the Yggdragon, stopped Erebus Seven "Primitive" Fragments yet again, with the help of the Gods.

By sacrificing herself, she sealed them once more. She "died" and ended becoming the Yggdrasil Tree in here, a dormant form of the Yggdragon. However, after many thousands of years since then, the Fragments began to unseal themselves for the first time.

Now, absorbing the Divinities that the Yggdragon used to seal them, the Demon Kings as properly known were being born. This was the first time they were born, and where all the tales we heard in the present come from.

Finally, I am finally figuring out the proper timeline of this convoluted mess of a story!

However, there's still something missing…

"So they weren't the Demon Kings we knew about…" Elena said. "Wait, what about the first two?"

"Yes, the two of them have appeared already, the first one, the Demon King of Plagues and the Demon King of Famine." Mercedes explained. "Formidable foes, or so it is told from the written story we've investigated. However, with the cooperation of the Blessed Ones, people given the blessing of the Gods, and Divine Equipment, we were able to somehow defeat them both. A third might soon arise one day.

And it seems those cultists want to bring it out prematurely…"

"No, but that still doesn't make sense though, right?" Rita wondered. "I know the first two appeared, yeah, alright… But didn't the Yggdrasil tree got destroyed from the third demon king? So Before the Yggdrasil tree was destroyed, Cloudia ended being destroyed first, by a different Demon King? Because I am fairly sure he hasn't been born yet, or was he?"

This is not wrong, there's something odd about this.

A secret not revealed by history!
