CH535 State of the Sanctuary's Residents

Lord Bonsai ignored Alex's arrival.
Instead, as always, a creeping branch slid from its trunk, slithering across the Sanctuary until it reached the Nest Queen's cocoon, where it dumped the excess divine energy after extracting the Providence bound within it.
'With how much energy that cocoon has absorbed, it's strange the Nest Queen hasn't burst out yet,' Alex mused.
Then he saw something new.
After feeding the cocoon, the branch wrapped around it and began to oscillate gently, producing a faint, rhythmic hum.
Alex's eyes widened.
He felt something inside him loosen, relax, right down to the marrow of his soul.
'So that's why she hasn't come out yet,' he realised.
'You've been singing her a lullaby.'
Still, he didn't mind.
Truthfully, even if the Nest Queen were born right now, he wasn't sure how best to use her.
He held his chin in thought.
