Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

—–

Oberon’s eyes widened as he recognized Elayne’s strength was no longer simple to handle. Summoning a radiant golden spear, he swiftly intercepted her attacks, a combination of magic, farming techniques, and swordsmanship arts. His spear techniques were utterly majestic, effortlessly predicting her every move and piercing her draconic body hundreds of times, shattering her legs, arms, and wings.

Clenching her fists, Elayne transformed her body, sprouting dozens of dragon heads that unleashed a barrage of dragon breaths. A massive Yggdrasil Cannon manifested in her chest, firing with tremendous force. The Yggdrasil Cannon harnessed the power of everyone present through the Celestial Rune Bond she had created, striking Oberon with full intensity.

TRUUUM!

“Nnnggh…!”

Oberon burned as he roared in fury and pain. The attack pushed him back, his mutated arm ablaze, slowly turning to ashes.

Yet he resisted!

With his mysterious golden spear, Oberon absorbed the energy, charging his weapon with immense power.

Seven colored jewels glowed brightly, as if activating, as Oberon’s strength surged to its peak.

“{Celestial Hammer of Judgement}!”

“{Divine Lance of the World Tree}!”

Elayne’s hammer clashed with Oberon’s spear, unleashing a collision of powerful forces that erupted across the landscape. The palace crumbled, half the city collapsed, and nearby mountains were cleaved and reduced to rubble.

RUMBLE!

The world seemed to teeter on the brink of destruction as the earth split open and molten lava incinerated nearby forests. Elayne’s aura shielded everyone from the devastation, but she could not sustain it indefinitely.

She channeled the power of Pathway to call upon the Gods of Arcadia for aid, but they offered little power, as if slumbering… or dead.

And then.

“Heh… Hehehe…”

Amidst everything, Elayne’s glimmer of hope…

Shattered.

Oberon stood unscathed, laughing.

“It seems this is my victory.”

“…?!”

His attack suddenly unleashed the seven colors, releasing a colossal, radiant beam that shattered Elayne’s hammer into fragments, pierced her chest, and obliterated her draconic body instantly.

BOOOMMM!

Elayne felt her power plummet to nothing.

Her armor and weapons shattered, white light enveloping her completely.

Lying on the floor, she saw everyone around her.

“E-Everyone…?”

Mark lay unconscious. Her daughter, barely awake, stared in horror at her burning shoulders, her arms gone. Her friends were also unconscious, bearing similar horrific wounds.

Gabriel’s spirit had vanished. Gardenia and Ignis, having exhausted their power to save her, now slumbered deeply…

Her Spiritual Heart was shattered, causing agonizing pain in her chest…

Her Spiritual Heart Beasts were somehow alive, but barely.

Her familiars…

“N-No… What…! No…!”

Belle was completely burned, showing no signs of life.

Silver, vomiting blood, was missing half his body.

Goldie… was nowhere to be found.

“Guugh…!”

Elayne vomited blood, feeling dizzy and unstable.

Her soul was writhing in agony, pierced by sharp demonic spikes.

As she touched the cold, icy floor, she noticed something.

A thread of hope…

Runes danced, already prepared, ready…

Then she heard Oberon’s footsteps approaching.

A demon woman embraced him, kissing his lips.

“Well done, my beloved! Look how well you did! I knew you could do this! You’re so strong!”

“Thank you… thank you…”

Oberon smiled, his eyes brimming with madness.

Elayne’s lips trembled as she faced him.

“She doesn’t truly love you…”

“Hm? Oh, you’re still alive.”

“There’s someone… like you in Arcadia… another world…”

“…?”

“A Fairy Queen named Titania.”

“…?!”

Oberon froze for a moment. The demon at his side looked confused.

“She… like you… is heartbroken…”

“…Is she now?”

“She… she would love to meet you, I assure… you…! So please…”

“…”

“Please, your majesty…! Don’t let…! Don’t let her influence you…! You’re a good… person…”

“Am I?”

Hearing his response, Elayne did not hesitate.

It was now or never!

FLAAASH!

A grand formation activated, causing the surroundings to tremble suddenly.

Oberon looked around in surprise as a massive prison of myriad lights engulfed him, beginning to seal his power within.

“What is this?”

“It’s a seal forged by everyone’s efforts! Our last…! Our final power! All of it!”

“…Is that so.”

“…?”

Elayne sensed something was wrong.

The formation was strong, but…

Oberon appeared unfazed.

Crack…

And then…

Crack!

CRASH!

The entire formation shattered into pieces with a mere tap.

“Ah, well, that was a colorful display of magic, but what else can you do?”

“…”

Elayne’s eyes widened.

It felt as though her soul had left her body…

Behind Oberon, a vast mass of miasma gathered, and a colossal being emerged.

Space and time warped and distorted.

A massive gate began engulfing Avalon.

The figure behind Oberon stepped forward as he smiled at “him.”

“Ah, master! It is good you’re finally here. This is Avalon, your new kingdom,” said Oberon.

“You’ve done well, Oberon. You have proven your worth and become my greatest Death Apostle.”

“No… Why…”

“Now, where were we the last time we met, Yggdrasil?”

The entity advanced toward her.

Enormous, towering.

Immense in size and power!

A demonic crown glowed brightly above his head.

Merlinus’ Demon King Crown!

“Ah yes, last time you defeated me and said I could never win… Well, how the tables have turned, don’t you think?” the Demon King of Death laughed, his giant skull crackling.

“W-Why…” Elayne muttered, madness clouding her judgment. “Why do you hate me so much?! I haven’t done anything t you! Your grudge against me is nonsensical! Why do you blame me for what someone else did?! I am trying too…! I am trying to just… live…!”

“Well, living is not enough,” he said. “This is why I have come here, to invite you and your dear family to the Netherworld.”

The surroundings warped and shifted as nether filled the air. Elayne’s body convulsed in agony.

“Wait…! Please…! I’m pregnant…! How…! How can someone be so heartless…!”

“Don’t worry, that child will grow strong in the Netherworld. You and everyone here shall embrace death and become one with my Legion. We will conquer countless realms and worlds. Everything shall be ours… And then, my dear wife and daughter will return, as I sacrifice one billion souls… yes, yes…! COME NOW, YGGDRASIL!”

“AAAAAGGGHHH!”

Elayne stood, screaming in agony, mustering all her strength. She absorbed the nether and demonic energy, combining and compressing it.

“A portal…! At least…! T-The children must live…!”

“What do you think you’re doing?! Stop!”
