Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

Chapter 283 - Side : Lamus And Vedon



??

It was not the same thing as when Ervas summoned the likes of Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, or Shoggoth, which were truly little pawns from the original entities, not possessing the original powers of the entities, but perhaps the potential to grow extraordinarily strong.

However… Kireina was vastly different.

She was a complete clone of the original Kireina as if her mind were simply copied and pasted into the clone, while also possessing an immense amount of power sealed within, enough to, perhaps, change the whole order of Kritias.

However, she knew that the world would try to suppress her clone, so she made sure to seal all the power very tightly, only letting the clone unlock the power as it progressed in this world\'s system.

However, she had already come with outstanding power, which the Gods that controlled the System had an awfully hard time translating into the Skills of Kritias…

But nonetheless, they managed to…

Aside from Space Attribute Magic, Kireina brought several types of Magic that were not even part of Kritias, types of magic that encompassed areas not quite explored in Kritias, such as Chaos, Void, Illusion, and Dreams.

Alongside her enormous power and the already ridiculous power of her clone, which fairly exceeded the Rank 5 that it showed on its status, plus the big amount of Mana that it possessed, made of Kireina, an invader and a danger, that the world itself recognized.

Worlds all across the cosmos all possess something called an Origin Core, it is the heart of this world, and it often possesses a will of its own, acting against otherworldly threats that might bring disorder and chaos to the world.

Kireina was like a virus entering a body, the entire world was in alarm, telling the Gods, which it saw as its white cells, to exterminate her before things were to get out of control.

Of course, the System Gods added her to the System anyways, which mostly appeased the Origin Core, as it saw Kireina as a \'part of the world\' while being part of the System set by Gods.

However, even then, the Origin Core left a warning all across the world, and this even showed itself in Kireina\'s \'Otherworldly Invader\' Title.

Now, mostly every God knew about her existence… but not her true name, nor where she came from, nor what she was capable of, nor where she was.

It was not as complicated as Kireina had thought, the signal told the Gods that Kireina as a threat existed, and the Gods could clearly feel her presence somewhere, but it did not mean that they immediately got to know her entire details and backstory within seconds, as not even the Origin Core itself knew about that.

But indeed, even the dangerous Gods who could be potential enemies of Ervas and Veronica got to know about this entity.

Most of the Demon Gods were intrigued about the true power of this being.

Some were a bit frightened.

And others desired to capture this alien creature and use their power for themselves.

Meanwhile, the Dark Gods were all in an odd state, most of them were resting to recover strength, but their consciousness was still awake within their rest, and after acquiring this news, some of them began to talk about such things.

Within these groups of Gods, two of the chief Gods of the Dark Gods Faction, Vedon, the God of Inventions, Alchemy, and Magic, and Lamus, the God of Space and Otherworldly Knowledge were the most alarmed.

These two Gods had stayed quite fine after the war, as their involvement was not as much, but this was Mirror Kritias, set in the past compared to the Future Kritias where Ervas and Veronica come from, so they were not weakened for sleeping profoundly to regain strength.

They were one of the few Gods that could actually assess some things within the Demon Continents, and after they received several messages from some Beast-kin Heroic Gods, they ended up giving up and finally decided to speak with them.

The notices they received from them were quite strange and even bizarre.

According to Ratatoskr, the Squirrel-kin Heroic Goddess, there were two mortals within the Continent of Anir\'s Hands, Ervas and Veronica, who seemingly had the souls of demon gods, while also possessing their blessings…

This of course left the two good friends in awe… They didn\'t recall having given their Divine Protections to anyone recently… actually, for quite a few dozen years this hasn\'t happened at all.

It was strangely odd that out of nowhere, someone appeared with their divine protections unless they were to have been very old mortals that they blessed and that had somehow survived up to this age… Perhaps by converting into Vampires or something. But even then, they would most likely know about them, as every God always had a connection with the beings they granted their Divine Protections, at the very least they would be able to discern their existence or something, but Vedon and Lamus did not know about their existences at all.

"This is incredibly bizarre, Ratatoskr. I really do not recall having given my Divine Protection to a Half-Demon Boy nor a Living Armor…" said Vedon with a rather worried expression on his bird face. Vedon was a non-humanoid god, with the appearance of a gigantic bird, resemble an eagle, whose enormous and sharp beak was made out of gold, and whose feathers flashed in bright colors, he was magnificent and majestic being. However, despite being a God born from Kritias, one of the original Gods, he had a very mortal-like personality and liked to speak casually.

"Indeed, I have no idea, Ratatoskr…" said Lamus while waving his tentacles, his appearance was that of a gigantic blue octopus with golden eyes that glowed brightly as if they were made of several stars, its entire body was also showered in such lights, and its appearance often looked otherworldly, despite just being an octopus.

"I-I see… but my lords, then how?" asked Ratatoskr, if Vedon and Lamus were just as clueless, how exactly could she know?

"Hmm… For now, we shall wait until they come here personally. I am rather excited to meet such potential allies," said Vedon.

"Indeed, let us wait, I am sure that whenever we examine their souls in detail, we might find some clues," said Lamus.

"I-I see… Very well then, I don\'t want to bother you two anymore, my lords. I am going back to take a little nap…" said Ratatoskr.

"Go ahead, rest well," said Vedon.

As Ratatoskr left Vedon and Lamus Divine Realm, the two Gods sighed almost at the same time.

"We really can\'t tell her?" asked Vedon.

"Of course we can\'t, it is confidential information that only us know! Even our siblings don\'t know about this…" said Lamus with a concerned tone on his voice.

"Their Divine Protections… are those us from that other world then?" asked Vedon.

"Indeed… It most likely that. I received their message a year ago, and since then that I have been looking everywhere for those two… To think that they would reincarnate in the middle of the enemy\'s territory…" said Lamus.

"That\'s really a pity. But it seems that they are doing splendid somehow… What kind of souls are those?" wondered Vedon.

"I have no idea, but it seems that their souls had grown incredibly strong after they crossed through worlds, reaching this past version of that Kritias…" said Lamus.

"So there is already a world where we lost and where Bestellen is slowly destroying this world, huh?" said Vedon, his eyes seemed filled with anger and frustration.

"That seems to be the case… Our power there will most likely not be effective. And it\'s not like we can actually travel through space there. I might be a Space Attribute God, but only I would be capable of going there, and me alone is not enough, I would end up dying, even more, that we are rather weakened… Not only a monstrous Bestellen is possessing most of our Divinities in that dystopian future, but all of the Demon Gods are running rampant after our defeat, making things even more dangerous…" said Lamus.

"And all of that is because of those otherworldly heroes, right?" asked Vedon.

"Not entirely… It is not their fault, honestly. What happened with them was because of the fault of another…" said Lamus.

"Oh, the bastard of Hekaton?" asked Vedon.

"That\'s right, that bastard, the God of Transmigration, Hekaton, the one who had forcefully taken control of our reincarnation cycle, that very one," said Lamus.

"Why did that bastard even do something like that? He ended up hastening the destruction of a world! Wouldn\'t that bring him harm as he would lose a world to create a cycle and earn power from it?" asked Vedon.

"Indeed, he\'s a terrible fool but it seems that there was a bigger intention behind this. After all, the System he \'made\', or more like copied us and changed a few things, was made for another purpose, completely unrelated to our world. He simply used that world as a beta testing ground," said Lamus.

"Damn bastard! Curse him and all of the Transmigration Gods! They are all shady and apathetic bastards that don\'t even care about the worlds they use to gain power! As if the Overseers were to do something though, they are their direct workers in the enormous monopoly of this whole cosmos… Everything is rotten to the core! Are we even safe of these insane beings?" asked Vedon in anger.

"There might be hope… aside from the two special ones sent by our versions from that Kritias… there is also the otherworldly visitor that had just arrived…" said Lamus.

"Oh? You got a lot of faith in it, for a being seen as an invader of our world… The Origin Core was literally yelling at us that it was bad news…" said Vedon.

"It is a friend of Ervas and Veronica, according to all the information we had gathered, they are very cautious people with a great sense of danger, if they see that being as an ally, I am sure that it has no bad intentions. And its power seems to be incredible, although it is sealed. And even more, if it has more allies across worlds…" said Lamus.

"What are you talking about? Already having plans of overtaking the Transmigration Gods?" asked Vedon.

"No, that would be way too unrealistic, to be honest, we have to do things step by step," said Lamus.

"So saving Future Kritias? We don\'t have the power," said Vedon.

"But they can have it, we have to help them achieve it…!" said Lamus.

"That blind trust that you often have with people is a very strong weakness, don\'t let them manipulate you…" said Vedon.

"H-Hey! I am well aware of how unrealistic my words are… But we have to hope for something good to happen, right? We can\'t simply sit here and whine!" said Lamus.

"True that, let us work together then, although we can\'t move from here, at the very least we should be able to do something for them in here," said Vedon.

"Very well then…" said Lamus.

The two Gods suddenly summoned various holographic windows, as they began to click and change things around.

"With the information, I acquired by my future self… It should be possible to do some adjustments in the System," said Vedon.

"Indeed, though it will take its sweet time…" said Lamus.

"Though, we have to select the ones we want to affect with it if it goes out of control and we begin to give Jobs to Monster and Ranks to humans… we don\'t know how this will end…" said Lamus.

As the two Gods put a lot of effort into their task, a sudden window popped up at their side, which was mostly ignored, until the two realized what it was.

"Genesis… Source Energy…?" wondered Vedon.

"This… Is this the power of that alien\'s world?!" asked Lamus.

"I guess we got way more material to work with…" sighed Vedon.
