When this source of power was pushed into the myriad mother trees.
Another dormant force was thus awakened.
"It's... a flash of inspiration."
Sensing the familiar presence, Ergolia looked up and gazed at the vibrant, azure light, feeling a pang of nostalgia.
—According to the established procedure, a ritual should have been performed before the descendants of the Flower Spirit could reawaken the power of Seymourne, thereby stimulating a hundred kinds of spiritual light to suppress the turbulent Tu Ni Black Abyss.
But that applies to 'primitive humans' who only know how to use blunt swords and to unidentified flying objects that just want to freeload.
And the one located here at this moment is a top-level demon god.
While occasional action sequences may help loosen up the legs, for a demon god, the most common and effective method is clearly his own authority and power.
"out."
After inserting a power source stronger than Egolia's heart, Jiang Qiao gave a soft shout and extracted the 'heart' that had originally been integrated into this land and this mother tree.
Of course, though it's called a heart, it's actually just a drop of water.
That is the source of the womb, part of the original womb.
The separation from the source of the womb made Egolia's form, which relied on it, even more ethereal.
She gazed at the drop of water, feeling a pang of nostalgia.
Then he looked at 'Frinina':
"If possible, I hope you can save the Little Lucky Grass King. Although we have never met, the existence of the newborn god is very important to the people of Sumeru after the death of the Great Tree King. The existence of Sumeru is also meaningful to Fontaine."
"Of course, this is probably more of my own personal feelings, after all, I really owed the Tree King a huge favor back then."
Ergolia's tone was somewhat wistful.
Preserving the consciousness of a dead demon god is almost impossible for a normal demon god; only the Great Tree King, who has a close connection with the World Tree, can do such a thing.
Even so, she was certain that the Great Tree King had paid an equal price in order to preserve his remaining consciousness.
She probably won't be able to repay this favor, but thankfully...
Fucarus has arrived.
Ergolia didn't say anything like, "Please make sure you save Fontaine."
After all, for a dying god to utter such words sounds like a curse.
As for entrusting her final power to 'Frinna', for her, it was originally an experiment.
What's the point of keeping this on a dead person like her? It would be better to entrust it to a trusted family member for an experiment.
Even if Fontaine is ultimately destroyed, Ergolia will not blame anyone.
After all, everything started from myself, so how can I presume to expect or blame others?
...I really am a very incompetent god.
"I'm entrusting everything to you, Fucarus."
The familiar, murmured words made Fukaros lower her head sadly.
but...
'Funina'—Jiang Qiao looked at Ergolia with a strange expression.
"Can you really leave everything to me?"
This question left Ergolia, who was slowly fading away, somewhat bewildered.
She could only say instinctively:
"of course."
If you've already given away the source of the fetal sea, which is the origin, how could it be fake?
Unexpectedly, after uttering this sentence, a smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth.
She stepped forward and, to the astonishment of Egolia and Fucarus, took the former's hand as it was about to disappear.
Then—it was pasted on.
"Hmm...!?"
Both Egolia and the grieving Fucarus stared wide-eyed, the former filled with shock and confusion.
No, all I have left is consciousness!
In human terms, it's a ghost—no, in some ways even worse than a ghost.
How did we manage to kiss?!
...No, no, no, the bigger question is, why would anyone do such a thing?!
Ergolia's already somewhat dull brain due to its defects turned into mush at this moment.
Although she is an elderly deity of unknown age, respected by many and having witnessed all sorts of things in the human world, as a symbol of pure water, Ergolia is undoubtedly an extremely pure deity.
Being tricked like this by her own family today... Egolia felt completely flustered and instinctively tried to back away to escape this awkward situation.
However, 'Furina' held on even tighter.
That agile exploration was as if it were about to seize something.
This annoyed Egolia, who had initially thought that although it was somewhat unexpected, she wouldn't hold it against them since she was about to disappear completely.
I've been a little tolerant, and you're already pushing your luck?!
Can't you just let your girlfriend disappear quietly?
You like playing games, huh? I'll just speed up my disappearance, speed it up...
"Well--!"
Egolia, who had been eager to send it, suddenly widened her eyes.
A strange feeling made her roll her eyes.
...It's such a strange feeling, I'm about to be...sucked away!
The suction force, like that of ███, made Agoria's remaining consciousness feel as if it were trapped in a vortex of a giant cup, leaving her utterly defenseless.
A moment later, only the figures of 'Funina' and the fairy Ellie remained inside the Ten Thousand Trees, while the former had completely disappeared.
With her slender index finger gently tracing her lips, 'Furina,' who had made an extremely bold move, licked the corner of her mouth, looking incredibly alluring.
"Thank you for the hospitality~"
"Ha, what did you do? You naughty girl!" Fairy Ellie snapped out of her daze, her cheeks puffing out as she glared angrily at 'Furina,' looking like she was about to start a trial.
How dare she do such an outrageous thing to another girl right in front of me, her supervisor! This is outrageous! This is intolerable!
"Hmm? I'm just absorbing this fragmented consciousness."
With her hands gently cupping her lower abdomen, the blue-and-white-haired girl smiled naturally.
"Do you want me to watch Urgolia disappear?"
"Hmm..."
Ellie, the fairy, was speechless for a moment.
Although she didn't know much about Ergolia, after a brief encounter, she roughly understood what kind of person she was.
As a derivative of Alicia, she certainly wouldn't want to see Ergolia, a beacon of humanity, disappear like this.
But... I feel like something's not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Miss Ellie, a fairy who retains the memories of Paradise Ellie but whose mind is still stuck in childhood and whose appearance remains unchanged, bites her finger, utterly confused.
"Or is it that people from the land of Celestials are envious?"
"If that's the case, I might as well give you a █." The girl smiled at the fairy Airi, running her knuckles across her lips as if making a gesture.
"I don't want it!"
Ellie the fairy rolled her eyes and flew to the other side.
She doesn't want her real body to be associated with any other woman, especially not [Funinna].
However, upon seeing the smirk behind her hand, the fairy Ellie instantly realized that she was being teased.
Waving her sparkler as if to intimidate, she huffed and puffed:
"Hmph, the fairies from the Kingdom of Celestial Music have already taken note of this matter! Don't think you can get away with it!"
"Okay, okay~"
As Jiang Qiao smiled and agreed, she left the Ten Thousand Mother Trees and headed towards the Sumeru rainforest region.
The interior of 【Funingna】.
As Egolia, who was feeling a little dizzy from being sucked in, gradually regained her senses, she immediately saw Fukalos.
The latter looked utterly embarrassed.
"Um...Lady Agoria, how are you?"
With her cheeks slightly flushed, Fukaros, who was completely caught up in the sadness of Egolia's impending departure and had not anticipated someone's bold actions, looked at her former master with a mixture of joy and embarrassment.
