Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

Chapter 732 - Ambush?!

-----

The Hivemind, the archnemesis of Yggdrasil and the twins. This powerful being had done the unthinkable many times, provoking almost the end of the world and was an antagonistic figure since its emergence in this world.

However, now that it was concealed, it had gone into a passive state, but through all this time, Aurora suspected that it might had developed an even more complex intelligence than before, to the point of becoming cunning and scheming, designing specific scenarios to do specific things that will eventually lead to the aid of its freedom.

And perhaps it doesn't even require the intervention of divine power for its help but just the mortals themselves. The monsters, the treasures, the incentive to go down… all of this wasn't made by Yggdrasil.

"But it could had been made by the Hivemind. Does the Hivemind wants the people to get down? But why?" wondered Aurora.

"I would guess there might be two things… one of them is that it wants the people to meet it and somehow free it from its eternal prison…" said Yggdrasil.

"Through some strange method?" wondered Aurora.

"I can't really figure it out but certainly it wants some sort of method to do it, maybe it is doing it right about now, maybe it has already seeped its poisonous influence in the people without us realizing it." said Yggdrasil, realizing something.

"Maybe using Manationia help in all of this will be even more important than we thought. Through her we could see if the Hivemind is really influencing the people deep down, maybe through the society in here, or perhaps through the underworld… or something." said Veronica.

"Yes, Manationia had become someone more important now in that regard…" said Ervas.

The implications that the Hivemind had been influencing society or even, perhaps, influencing people through special methods had suddenly emerged within the minds of everyone present in here.

If this was the case, it could be very much like a Demon God figure, which tries to influence its way into people and slowly forcing them to act strangely for their own vile acts… Such a thing could certainly be more than possible now, they just need to see through it.

"I feel like the Hivemind could even act as some kind of Demon God now… I had not thought about it…" said Ervas.

"Yeah… Maybe… we have to investigate further. Unlike Demon Gods who are always so obvious, this guy is hiding underground, and we can't even see his face nor confront him by getting inside his divine realm… we'll have to do things the slow way." Said Veronica.

As everyone had decided things, the mood was suddenly broken down by a pair of adorable girls.

"Mama, the food is ready! Let's go eat together…" said Violet, she reached Aurora and held her hand with her little hand. The adorable little squirrel girl melted her mother's heart and moved away her worries.

"Yeah!" said Aura, as she rushed towards Veronica and Ervas, which she saw as her parents.

"Okay then! I guess its time to eat, finally! I am starving. I could eat this little squirrel right here!" said Aurora, as she hugged her little girl and tickled her little belly while kissing her neck.

"Nom, nom~!" said Aurora, as she pretended to bite Violet cutely.

"Hehe, mama, it tickles! Stop! Hehe…" giggled the cute Violet.

"I can't stop, such a cute little girl! I am going to eat her up!" said Aurora.

Everyone looked at the scene while smiling a bit, Aurora quickly grabbed Violet and moved to eat with Ditoyle and the rest, and the red quickly followed her with Aura and also Kuro that had showed up.

"Mother, we are waiting for you!" said Kuro.

"Coming dear!" said Veronica.

"Ervas how long are you going to stay there?!" asked Pekorina.

"Not so long, I'll go right away." Said Ervas.

The party quickly gathered around the bonfire, enjoying the good food, the grilled meat, and everything else. It was a harmonious night, although there were still many concerns within their hearts, they knew that they would be able to pull through this new and complicated challenge as long as they did everything they could.

Unaware of this meeting and the decisions of these powerful entities over making her an apostle, Manationia went back to her Inn, now resting over her comfortable bed she sighed in relief.

"Phew, such a long day. I am glad I am back here… Ugh…" she sighed.

She had already paid the Inn Keeper for the things she broke and also to stay the rest of the week in here. But what she earned wasn't near as enough to enter the Academy, her main goal.

"I need one thousand to get into the Academy… I have to work harder inside the arena at all costs and make a big penny out of it!" she said.

She had decided to work hard and use her powers for good, she wanted to use them to earn her money, got to the academy of singers, and become a strong Sage, with such power she'll also try to cure diseases and also help the people as she could.

The gift these gods she had encountered once was fantastic, so much magic power made her feel overwhelmed at times, but it was the true gift given to her at the end. She needed to utilize it to do good deeds, like her parents taught her!

"Phew, I might as well sleep for now, there's a lot of things to do tomorrow~" she sighed, she cuddled her feathered and cute head over the cushion, as her beak got comfy enough and she began to sleep…

However, figures emerged behind the window, a group of four people wearing black clothes, and holding strange weapons with their tentacles…!

They quickly broke into her room, breaking the window and startling her!

"UWAH! W-What's going on now?!" she asked fearfully, moving back and seeing these four figures trying to attack her!

Daggers infused with venom began flying everywhere as she erected a magic barrier and protected herself!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Unggh…! W-What is this? Who are you people?!" she asked.

However, they remained in silence, they were most likely tasked to kill her for some reason!

"Hehe, I guess you need my help at long last, little Manationia!"

Suddenly, a strange little creature emerged behind Manationia, startling her!

"W-Who are you?!"

"I am your guardian spirit! Now do what I say, and you'll prosper!"
