Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest-Chapter 1875: Don’t Lose Your Hope, My Child
-----
"You have proven most incredible, Assassin. I shall turn you into the most devilish version of yourself," Avenger laughed. "You will become a monster among monsters, yes. And don’t worry—once you belong to me, you won’t need your master anymore. How about slaying her later, hm?"
"Aaaaggh! AAAAAAHHHH!"
Assassin screamed in agony as the White Rider’s power corrupted his entire body. The force of Vengeful Souls—the very source of Avenger’s title—poured into him. Black and red miasma fused with fire consumed everything it touched, born from all those who had fallen to war and conquest.
"Don’t resist. Let it happen. It will be over soon."
"Nnnggh...! Master...!"
Yasuke cried out as he felt his master’s presence fade from the domain.
She had safely evacuated with the rest of the students.
Clenching his teeth, a faint wave of relief washed over him despite the unbearable pain.
He had done his duty. He was ready to die.
"I barely... got to enjoy two days in this world... but I’ve enjoyed them... master..."
He smiled bitterly, preparing to shatter his own Spirit Core and end his existence before Avenger could corrupt his very essence.
He gently closed his eyes, blood streaming from them and his mouth, his expression one of quiet resignation.
"Don’t lose hope, my child."
"...!"
Bright white light enveloped Yasuke. The darkness devouring his heart burned away like a shrieking specter before vanishing completely.
"I am sorry for taking so long. Your efforts will not go to waste, Assassin. Thank you."
"...! Ruler?"
Yasuke gasped. One moment he had been trapped in Avenger’s grasp; the next, he rested safely at Ruler’s side.
He couldn’t comprehend it—he hadn’t been teleported through spatial magic!
"Y-You’re back..."
In awe, he gazed at the radiant woman before him. Divine and purposeful, yet carrying the gentle dignity of a mother. Cascading green hair woven from countless living plants framed her clear brown skin. One golden eye and one verdant eye gleamed with resolve, while wooden antlers slowly grew from her head.
"I took so long because, while you fought one aspect of Avenger, he pursued us with his Vengeful Spirits. I apologize for my delay. You have proven yourself more than worthy of being my ally."
"A-Ah..."
Assassin suddenly found tears streaming down his face. Just when he believed everything was over—when he thought he would once again die filled with regrets—he had been saved by her.
By someone who, the more he interacted with her, reminded him more and more of the dear mother he had been torn from at a very young age.
Elayne—no, Gaia Mater—radiated an aura of profound maternity. Anyone who had ever loved their mother felt instantly protected and cherished in her presence.
The army of Vengeful Spirits conjured by Avenger writhed across the battlefield, but slowly they were consumed by an endless tide of nature.
Trees erupted from the ground. Gardens of vibrant flowers bloomed in waves.
"With nobody left to protect, I no longer need to hold back."
Elayne’s voice thundered through the realm. Avenger and Alice both felt it.
They felt the wrath of Mother Nature herself.
RUMBLE!
Everything around them detonated. Thousands of titanic tree roots exploded upward from the earth.
"Nnnggh?! NGAAAAHHH!"
Avenger screamed in raw horror as thousands of wooden roots pierced his body and every one of his Vengeful Souls simultaneously.
"...!"
Assassin stared in disbelief. And this was only the beginning.
Elayne rose into the sky. Yasuke’s form scattered into his primal spiritual essence and reappeared at her shoulder. He realized she had suddenly become a titan.
Yes—as the land beneath her rose, mountains took shape from nothing, forests were born, endless grasslands, jungles, swamps, and even seas emerged.
She was reborn through them all, merging her very spiritual being with the living world.
"Terra Mater: Womb of the Living World."
This was her ultimate Divine Treasure—a powerful Ability, a Spell, and a Soul Weapon forged from her own Myth and History.
Her form ascended, assuming her True Mythological Appearance. She became a Titaness over a kilometer tall, composed of mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, jungles, grasslands, plants, and countless other living beings.
The world around her reshaped at her will. Avenger and his Master were instantly...
Overwhelmed.
"H-How is this possible?!" Alice screamed as she flew backward, conjuring endless blood and darkness and merging them. "Chaos Rain!"
In fury she unleashed Chaos Magic. Black dots of pure destruction rained down on the endlessly expanding wooden roots. Giant trees—some as vast as mountains or larger—were bombarded, engulfed in countless explosions.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Chaos Magic ranked among the most dangerous magics in existence. The Darkwood Fae Clan alone held natural affinity for this element. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
However.
"Is that it?"
Her voice thundered from above. Her eyes gleamed as an all-encompassing Titaness Queen of Nature and Earth. Her massive palm descended.
"Chaos is powerful, but you cannot even compare to the Primordial himself, demon."
TRUUUMMM!!!
"Kuuuaaaaggghhhh!"
Alice screamed. If her body hadn’t been forged from Vengeful Spirit Miasma fused with her own blood and flesh, she would have perished instantly.
Yet using the power of Avenger within her, she barely withstood the all-destructive strike.
The palm crashed into the land below, obliterating mountains and reshaping the entire world, leaving behind a titanic palm-shaped crater.
"A-Avenger...! Where...! Where are you?!"
Alice slowly reformed her body while vomiting. She noticed hundreds of plants and flowers sprouting across her flesh.
Her Vengeful Flames burned them away, but some were extraordinarily resilient—exuding divinity itself—and bloomed relentlessly, draining her energy and destroying her from within.
"A-Avenger...! AVENGER! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
She kept screaming. The skies grew redder. Her eyes widened as she sensed her heroic spirit within that sea of crimson clouds.
Elayne raised her giant hands. Thousands of roots pierced Alice’s body, siphoning her Mana at a terrifying pace.
"ENOUGH. I AM YOUR OPPONENT, RULER."
Avenger manifested from the skies themselves—taking the form of thousands of planes soaring through the heavens. They dropped tens of thousands of bombs and dozens of Atomic Bombs onto her gigantic form.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Is that all you can do? You seem unsuited for combat against beings of my caliber, Avenger. I wonder why that is."
"HAHAHAHA! AS LONG AS IT WORKS."
"How weak."
"...Eh?"
FLASH!
In that instant, Elayne raised her colossal hands, crossed her arms, and...
Thousands of pillars of divine life—infused with boundless lifeforce—erupted from the earth and pierced the skies.
This was her second Divine Treasure, her second "Skill" that every Heroic Spirit possessed—though very few wielded Legendary Treasures or Mythical Treasures.
