Victory! ...But The War Has Yet To End

-----

The Hivemind Matriarch felt within the depths of her soul as a small pearl was pierced by the two spears, and it began to spread cracks all over its spherical body, the core of her soul was shattering into pieces, falling apart. And with that, her consciousness, her whole existence, it was all fading and disappearing…

"No…"

The Hivemind Matriarch's eyes broke into tears. Surprisingly, Manationia and the split souls looked at her with a bit of shock.

Why was she crying?

Was it to deceive them?

Or was… genuine?

"I… I wanted… a family…"

"What?" Asked Manationia.

"You would… never get it…"

"…" The split souls remained in silence.

"The solitude… of this empty… and cold… universe…"

The Hivemind Matriarch slowly began to dissolve into flames.
