this is what i read. the ten tails is similar to how kaguya made zetsu. y'all fooled me and actually made me feel stupid. she didn't merge with any tree. she willed it into existence The only one who made you feel stupid is you. Even in that translation you quoted, Black Zetsu said that both the god tree and Kaguya were part of the Ten-Tails; ergo, she merged with the god tree.
