NOVEL NEXT Chapter 62 Qliphoth
Zero looked as the newly created individuals all knelt on one knee in front of Dahlia and Azalea. There were 35 Hades Vampires, 35 Hades Reapers, 5 Hecate Lampads, and 5 Styx Lampads.
The 2 underworld goddesses regally told them to rise and gave them their orders. The Hecate Lampad and Styx Lampads were ordered to go into the temple and familiarize themselves with the afterlives. The Hades Vampires and Hades Reapers were ordered to go into Dracula’s castle and collect the body and soul that would become their comrades.
Dahlia and Azalea pointed at a Hades Vampire and Reaper and motioned for them to walk forward. The Hades Vampire was a fair-skinned young man with blonde hair and green eyes and the Reaper was a dark-skinned young woman with long black hair and brown eyes. They would be in charge of the forces that would attack the castle and make sure no one died pointlessly.
“Yes, we will follow your command to the letter my goddesses.” answered the female reaper
“None shall die under our command.” said the male vampire
“Good now go and collect the souls and bodies of our enemies so that we may raise them as our allies.” said Dahlia
The vampires, reapers, and lampad all stood up and started to move to accomplish the duties given to them. As they were organizing themselves Zero appraised one of each of them.

While the vampires and reaper were organizing themselves the lampads walked towards the dreary temple. After a few minutes, the vampire and reapers were ready to go to the castle. They organized themselves into 7 teams of 10 consisting of 5 reapers and 5 vampires. The reapers could summon a scythe so they had weapons but the vampires would be without weapons.
Zero snapped his fingers and 35 claymores fell at their feet. They picked up the blades and gave them practice swings, saw them as sufficient, and thanked Zero. Now fully equipped the male vampire leader created a black portal that appeared and they walked through.
“I have a question?” asked Zero after they left
“What is it?” answered Azalea
“How come they can talk and know things like strategies and how to fight?” asked Zero
“That’s simply due to our necroscience skill when we created them they were given the knowledge to fulfill the tasks they were created for.” answered Dahlia
“Yes they understand how to speak any language, know how best to kill creatures, are intelligent from creation, and understand their duties because all these are necessary for them to do their job effectively.” added Azalea
“That's so cool I wish I could do that. When I made my nymphs, they couldn’t talk and I had to teach them about nature.” said Nova
“Don’t worry I’m sure when you grow you’ll have your own version of this skill. It’s impressive that you can already create servants at such a young age.” said Dahlia
“Yeah you’re amazing so don’t worry too much about what you can’t do and focus on what you can do.” said Azalea
“What can Nova do?” asked Nova
“Well you can plant world trees no one can do that but you.” said Zero as he patted her on the head
“So Nova’s special?” asked Nova
“You’re probably the most special out of all of us.” said Azalea
“She's right you’re definitely the most powerful one out of all of us here and you’re still growing.” added Dahlia
“Really but Papa won’t let me fight.” said Nova
“That's because I want you to enjoy your childhood while you can. You’re only a few days old don’t rush life.” said Zero as he picked her up
“Okay I will.” said a sad Nova
“So where shall we plant the tree?” asked Zero
“I think behind the temple will be fine.” said Dahlia
“Yes, that would work quite nicely.” added Azalea
After walking to the back of the temple Zero put Nova down and took a few steps back to let her do what she would in peace. Nova started gathering an insane amount of mana into her hand and started to condense it. The mana was so dense that it forced Zero, Dahlia, and Azalea to move back because they felt their body being crushed by the sheer amount of mana that Nova was producing.
When she finished condensing mana a black crystal seed was in her hand. She walked until she was about 70 feet away from the temple before dropping the crystal on the ground. She then calls forth Zero and he teleported to her and she had him teleport both of them back to the area he was standing.
Within a second the black crystal looked as if it seared into the ground. The ground began to shake a bit and an enormous black crystal-like tree burst from the ground and kept growing. It kept growing constantly for 2 minutes until it was finally as big as the world tree that she had planted in the forest.
This tree however was vastly different from the one growing in the forest. The forest one was a clear crystal with beautiful green crystal leaves that shined and radiated light and life. This tree was made of a black crystal that couldn’t be seen through and it had no leaves. This tree didn’t radiate life but felt as if it did the exact opposite of that and it released a black fog causing the area around it to grow darker.
Zero assumed that the first world tree she planted was a tree of life and that this was a tree of death. It made perfect sense why she would plant one in the underworld as it was probably the only thing that could grow well in this place that seemed like it would drain the life out of everything. Zero appraised the tree wondering what it would describe.
Divine Artifact: World Tree Nova
Effect:
Sephirot Physiology: (10th Malkuth/Kingdom), (9th Yesod/ Foundation)
Qliphoth Physiology: (10th Naamah/Whisperers), (9th Gamaliel/ Polluted of God)
Existence Manipulation (Restricted)
Description: A world tree created by the budding nature goddess Nova. World trees are said to be massive, supernatural trees that connect all of humanity, nature, and the world with each other and with the other realms such as the underworld and the heavens, acting as an anchor to most, if not all of existence. This tree also acts as one of Nova's main bodies making her quite difficult to kill as she exists simultaneously in 3 different locations. Due to her unnatural birth, this tree is both a tree of life and death.
Skill Explanation:
Yesod (Foundation): The ninth level of the Sephirot is represented by the divine attribute that binds God to his creation in a bond of empathy and loves divine creativity and fertility which he visited upon all his creation. By understanding this level, the user gains the skills of Chloroscience, Absolute Change, Totality Connection, and Omni-Communication.
Gamaliel (Polluted of God): The ninth level of the Qliphoth is represented by the sphere of forbidden sexuality. While Adam and Eve represent the sexuality of a dutiful nature whose purpose is reproduction, Lilith and her many demonic lovers correspond to losing one’s self in the act and becoming enslaved to pleasure. By understanding this level, the user gains the skills of Dark Soul Manipulation, Absolute Dark Pleasure Inducement, Mutation Inducement, and Pollution Embodiment.
