1952 Yggdra Is Here?!

"Yggdra?! But how? Isn't this world too far away from Grand Terra for her to manifest herself here?" Wondered Elfina, standing up.

"It is weird, isn't it?" I wondered. "I think something must be happening…"

"Could it be because of the portals that already connect the worlds? The ones that the spider and the Demon King created." Luminous pointed out. "The connection between worlds is now open, so all worlds could be considered one… Well, the connected ones."

"It could be?" Fiere wondered. "Well, the best way to figure out what's going on is by going there."

"I agree. I also want to explore this huge world a bit more!" Brunhild said with an innocent giggle.

"Me too! Me too!" Ariant said.

"Yeah!" Eriant nodded.

"Well, fine, come along children." I sighed. "They feel like my little kids sometimes."

"Hehehe, it is really funny how you've made yourself some new friends from another world!" Giggled Rimuru while sitting over my head. "It makes me glad… And also a bit jealous! But at the same time… It feels like you've changed a bit, Masta."

"I have?" I wondered. "Maybe… because I went through a lot of things…"

"You seem to have become much more… I don't know, mature? It feels like you've finally found what you were missing before guu." Rimuru analyzed me.

"Geez, you're analyzing me as if I was some sort of creature." I sighed.

"Heheh, sorry." Rimuru quickly transformed into her humanoid form, walking at my side while holding my hand. "Oh look, there!"

She pointed into the center of the Grand Forest, where the huge Yggdrasil Tree Druantia, my daughter, rested. Faylen, the Queen of Elves and a former Realm Menace I purified and then made into one of my wives in a whim, was there too.

The two were quite connected, as elves have a special connection with Yggdrasil trees, and my daughter tree was quickly adopted by Faylen. However, what was surprising was the little girl in there, floating aimlessly while talking with them.

"Where am I? I'm a bit lost… Is Kireina here? Mama?" Yggdra wondered, looking around.

"W-Wait, I've never seen a spirit like you around, dear. Calm down…" Sighed Faylen. "Let's first talk a bit!"

"But I don't want to talk, I want to see mama… It is very important!" Yggdra cried.

"Oh dear, mom is coming, just wait a bit more." Sighed Druantia. "It seems slightly strange though… Your presence… It feels like mine, is it not?"

"A-A bit… are you an Yggdrasil sister?" Yggdra wondered innocently.

"Maybe?" Druantia wondered. "Oh, mom's here."

"Ah, Kireina, so you were truly back." Faylen greeted me. "I'm sorry for not going to the banquet, I was quite busy with the elf population… But it seems something else has appeared now."

"Faylen! I'm glad to see you again." I hugged her tightly, kissing her. "Have you been well?"

"I-I have…" Faylen nodded while blushing. "It is all thanks to your help that I am here now… That you've healed me… I've missed you, dear."

"I'm happy you're well." I smiled, kissing her forehead.

"W-Woah, there's elves here too?!" Elfina was shocked. "W-Who is she?!"

"Huh? Who is she?" Wondered Faylen.

Both elf girls glanced at one another in surprise. Elfina and Faylen looked a lot alike, anybody would confuse them as sisters.

"Well, long story short…" I ended explaining everything to her in a couple of seconds.

"I see… So friends from the other world where you reincarnated… Amazing!" Faylen said. "Ah, well, now, let's go meet the new visitor, haha, sorry for delaying this…"

"It's fine! It's always nice to meet more members of Kireina's lovely family." Brunhild smiled gently.

"I wonder if there are Desert Elves in this world as well?" Eriant wondered.

"There are." Faylen nodded. "I suppose Grand Terra was not so different from Genesis."

"I think the same! I wonder if both worlds are more connected than we thought…" Ariant started to speculate.

"Anyways, there she is-" Faylen pointed at Yggdra, who flew towards me and hugged me.

"Mamaaa! I'm back!" She said.

"Yggdra! I told you to stay behind and protect Grand Terra!" I said. "But… well, I'm happy to see you again. How did you get in here?"

"A-Ah, I don't know… I just flew through the portal in the sky and came here! Grand Terra's fine. The armies are fending off the Miasmic Monsters armies, and the demons of the Wastelands seems to have been rescued." Said Yggdra. "There are more monsters coming out of the portals to the other worlds though, but they're being taken care by everyone else, so there's some stability."

"Phew, I'm relieved." I nodded. "Now, how did you get in here?"

"It seems that Genesis and Grand Terra are connected through a bridge, so I just walked through it and got here, even if my true body is in Grand Terra! Oh, also, good news! All the other trees you planted around the world, approximately around 1238 have all grown bigger, and we've all connected through underground roots. Maybe that's why I could come here, as I am overflowing with their shared strength." Yggdra wondered.

"That's amazing news! I guess we'll have you around for a bit longer." I smiled.

"T-That's the thing… I could only come here for a bit, look! I'm dissipating…" Yggdra sighed.

"E-Eh?!" We all reacted in shock, after all those good news!

"You'll die?!" Elfina cried. "Noooo! Yggraaaa!"

"I won't die!" Yggdra facepalmed. "But I'll end up back in Grand Terra, I think…" Yggdra sighed.

"Unless a connection or a vessel is acquired?" Wondered Brunhild.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Elfina asked.

"Oh, I get it." I nodded. "Druantia, dear, I think you were already thinking about it, isn't it?"

"Yes mom." Druantia nodded. "Yggdra, how about we become one? I'll give you my body!"

"Y-Your body?!" Yggdra was surprised.

"I see!" Faylen nodded. "If we allow Yggdra to fuse her Spirit Form with Druantia, then she'll have a physical form here to manifest whenever she wants."

"Exactly." I nodded. "And… somehow, both seem very compatible and alike."

"I think I know why that is…" Suddenly, the voice of Flora emerged behind us.
