Chapter 967 Eden Apple’s Yggdrasil Fruit

?-----

I ran to see what was happening. Aquarina didn't seem panicked, more than anything amazed, but I was still slightly scared, my heart was beating faster. I didn't wanted anything to happen to my Yggdra after we finally meet after so many years!

However, the sight in front of me was much different to whatever paranoiac fears I was experiencing. One of her tallest branches was producing a beautiful red flower, overflowing with pure spiritual light, with a hint of... Divinity!

"Yggdra?! What's going on?" I wondered.

"A-Almost there Sylphy, wait a bit...!" Yggdra muttered, seemingly forcing herself to do this. "I have to... make this, for my child so she can keep on growing stronger...!"

"Growing stronger?" I wondered, confused about what she even meant.

"Look, Sylphy!" Said Lara. "The Spirits are all gathering around that branch..."

"Really?" I wondered, looking further into the branch, the flower was beginning to transform.

"It's transforming into something big?" Zack asked. "W-Wait a second, is that...?"

"A fruit!" Mist said. "It is turning into some sort of fruit! I think..."

"So weird..." Aquarina said. "Wait, not really, trees do make fruits!"

"But that's not a normal apple..." My father said. "It is getting much larger and filled with nutrients."

"Making a pie with it would be nice..." My mother smiled.

"N-no, nothing of pies here! It is a gift!" I said, looking up. "Is it almost done?"

"Almost there... Wait a bit!" Yggdra said. "And... there!"

"An Yggdrasil Fruit?! Really?!" My mother asked on utter disbelief.

"It can't be... for real?" My dad asked. "Such a thing... I was not aware it was possible for the tree you grew, Sylphy!"

"Such a fruit is only harvested once every 10000 years in our country." Said my mother. "None of the living members of our family has witnessed one yet... But there are many records of it. It is said that the royal family gets to eat it together, making themselves stronger. Sometimes, they're gifted to heroes to make them amazingly powerful... There's a tale of a Crazy Sage that once stole one and became the Wizard of the Stars... The one that modified the dungeons back in the human continent."

"A-And I'm holding such a legendary thing in my hands?!" I asked in disbelief. "W-Wait a second Naturia why did you even need something so crazy to evolve?!"

"Hehehe... I dunno." Naturia only giggled innocently.

"If it wasn't for me I bet she would had never been able to fulfill her evolution." Yggdra smiled, emerging in her manifestation form. "Phew... But I'm very sorry, I don't think I can ever create this fruit for a long time. Maybe if I can grow stronger myself, I could do it once again. Perhaps..."

"I-It's fine, nobody is asking you to make these at all!" I laughed a bit. "T-Thanks a lot, but this is just crazy..."

"It is! What in the world?!" Celeste was amazed.

"H-Handle that thing with care, Sylphy, that's like a national treasure-level thing!" Zack said.

"In a way, you're holding the entire wealth of a small country in your hands." My mother laughed.

"EH?! Really? Is it that precious?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes, if you were to ever sell it in an auction, they would offer hundreds of billions for it... Or even a trillion, or more." My mother was amazed. "But I guess it would be better if you give it to Naturia to complete her special evolution, than to bring such a dangerous thing to the world."

"Dangerous?" Aquarina asked. "Why?"

"Well, my daughter, it is because something so precious, that can give so much lifespan and power to someone would be sought by literally every wealthy and powerful person in the world. There could even be wars of people trying to get that fruit." Nepheline laughed. "In the past, the reason why the royal family ate the fruit right away was because if they were to ever keep it, it was vey obvious that fights and wars would be wagged over it. And even then, there were still many."

"I-I have to be careful then..." I sighed. "A-Alright Naturia, we better just evolve you right away, let's not keep this fruit for too long in this world, hahah..."

"Foo! I'm ready anytime!" Naturia was very excited.
