Chapter 833 Vessel
-----
Yggdrasil had an amazing plan! Or well, something she came out with just in the moment. Manationia had developed a unique soul that was in sync with the corpse of the Hivemind left underground. Now without a soul, the corpse would slowly begin to rot, and Yggdrasil still felt an enormous quantity of power within it, but she was incapable of absorbing it because the corpse was filled with toxins that would be deadly to her.
However, Manationia had a special body and was a goddess, all while having acquired this sort of "sync" with the flesh corpse of the giant Hivemind, her plan was simple, ask Manationia to absorb this corpse and acquire the amazing self-regeneration, shapeshifting, adaptability, absorption, and more capabilities that the Hivemind bodies have, and use it as a trump card to fight the Matriarch.
It was some sort of gamble at the end, as she didn't knew if it could actually work properly, the power of the Hivemind's body was after all rather high! However, things were not over yet. And Manationia had to try out before getting into any conclusions! Yggdrasil guided Manationia into the cave, as she flapped her colorful feathered wings.
FLAAAAASH!
And in a few seconds of traveling, she found it, an endless sea of red flesh. Manationia's colorful eyes opened wide in surprise at the scene… But she didn't knew what to do now that she got in here.
"W-What do I do now?" She wondered.
"Touch it!" Said Yggdrasil.
"Touch it?!" Asked Manationia in surprise.
"Yes, you must touch it, and infuse your soul inside… I think that could work…" Said Yggdrasil.
"My soul inside…" Said Manationia in surprise.
She approached her hand into the mass of red flesh, as it was cold and slimy, making her feel a bit disgusted. Nonetheless, she continued as she was told, moving her soul out of her hand as a small and colorful aura, and infusing it inside!
FLUUUOOOOSSSHHH!
Manationia suddenly felt as if the entire essence of the Hivemind… the one she devoured was finally being poured into her! Her mind suddenly opened as she saw through his memories, almost all of them! She saw how the Hivemind originated, how they traveled across the universe, the wisdom they accumulated, and the many atrocities they did.
Her mind was impacted by the truth of his actions, but also she felt rather sickly, her young mind had a hard time managing so much information, but the power of a goddess helped her cope with things and slowly adapt and absorb them into her own being. Nonetheless, she began to assess things, as she felt a sudden extension to her own body!
"T-This is…! Ahhh!" Manationia cried, feeling the overwhelming pressure that was using such a body!
However, Octo quickly moved to her side and fused her body to her, giving her a big help at managing to absorb and utilize the body of the giant Hivemind as well!
"Let me help you, Manationia!"
FLAAASH!
"O-Octo! Perhaps with your help I can finally…! Ah, there it is!" Said Manationia, as she finally felt more control over the Hivemind's body!
"Now, Manationia, shape it and absorb it into your body!" Said Yggdrasil.
"Absorb it into my body! T-That's even a thing?! Ugh, I should still try it!" Said Manationia, as she forced the entire body of the Hivemind to shapeshift and move, it was as if it had gained its life!
TRUUUM!
The entire body slowly started to distort and shapeshift, moving towards Manationia's body and then being absorbed by it, as if it were being suctioned by it by some sort of black hole within her body, the entire body of the Hivemind started to slowly disappear until nothing remained!
TRUMM!
TRUMM!
TRUUUUMM!
And then, Manationia felt a sudden pain all over her body as she was slowly absorbing this power and assimilating it, acquiring the Hivemind Physique! With this, she felt a sudden pain in her soul, even, as the mind of the Hivemind she had eaten suddenly resurfaced within her mind!
"Y-Youuuu!"
"W-What?!"
"Give me back my body!"
"No!"
"Uuuggh! GRAAAH!"
The Hivemind roared angrily, using his willpower and attempting to unleash his power, he had been eaten but what happened was more like a fusion, his soul was still present, but fused and overpowered by Manationia's soul, now that he sensed his body returning, it felt as if he was about to be resurrected! However, Manationia wasn't going to let him!
She unleashed the powers of her soul and quickly began to devour the last thoughts and will he held, slowly, bite by bite until nothing remained!
"S-Stop! I can't…! Unngh…! GRAAAAAH!"
With a last groan of agony from the Hivemind, Manationia managed to devour him, quickly attaining his true physique, and unprecedented powers!
FLAAAAAASH!
An enormous aura of power came from both her body and soul, as she suddenly felt a bit connected to even other Hiveminds! She was like a virus in their hivemind, someone that couldn't be controlled by the main Hivemind Matriarch but with the potential and power to overpower them and devour them all!
"I-It worked!" Celebrated Yggdrasil.
"Uuugh…" Sighed Manationia, as Octo tried to calm her down, despite the hardship of everything and having acquired powers, Manationia felt extremely exhausted now, and in fact, she felt like passing out at any moment.
Yggdrasil quickly noticed the changes, and decided to continue her plans. She had decided to help Manationia as much as possible by unleashing her power over her and giving her a hand by… well, fusing with her! Indeed, she wanted to fuse with Manationia now that she had acquired the powers of the Hivemind, this was the plan she had made to help Veronica and Ervas and also protect the planet itself.
Yggdrasil had an amazing quantity of power within her, and she knew that this would be what could actually work at the end, she didn't hesitated and asked it directly to Manationia.
"Manationia… I still have another plan that could help you regain your stamina, would you become my vessel?" Asked Yggdrasil.
"V-Vessel?!" Asked Manationia. From one surprise to another, would Manationia even be allowed to rest?
