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

-----

"Those mortals…!"

??

"That Half-Demon… and the Living Armor!"

"Did they just…!"

"Broke Souls?!"

"Unbelievable!"

"This is too much to take…"

"It might really be the second coming of the Demon God-King!"

Atop the skies and within Bestellen's Divine Realm, the Bright Gods and their several Subordinate Gods glanced at the scene in complete disbelief.

Not only they had seen how they fused their souls and even had the power to harbor the magic affinity and spells of the human they 'absorbed' into their bodies, but also, they were able to both break the soul of Graham and even eat the pieces, stealing his power.

Many Gods that were survivors from the Ragnar?k still remembers the horrors that the Demon God King unfolded in the world.

Amongst his many abilities, the Demon God-King was able to control immense quantities of Miasma, contaminating the land and affecting the Gods.

Alongside this, he was able to use one of his most frightening abilities, the power to break souls and absorb the power of the Gods he broke.

Although he was not able to completely acquire their power, nor was he able to do it so fast like… Ervas and Veronica did.

In fact, The Demon God King took some time to properly break a soul and then consume it.

However, such a thing seemed rather easy for Ervas and Veronica, as they could do it within seconds.

Although the Great Gods were rather surprised, they were not as overly dramatic as their subordinates, and Uphy seemed to regain her calm, as she glared at Bestellen, the fire covering her body seemed to have become fiery.

"Are you happy now, Bestellen?" asked Uphy, her expression was clearly annoyed.

"U-Uphy…" muttered Phunana, clearly noticing the annoyed expression of her sister.

Bestellen remained in silence as he stopped glancing down below.

"Hm, I am rather content. Although we did not manage to defeat them, we were able to gather precious information about their true strength and capabilities… Many things in those two defies most of the logic we had always been living within our minds…" said Bestellen.

"And you use the soul of someone as a pawn to probe that?" asked Uphy.

"What is the problem with that, Uphy? Graham would have been happy to die for me, he was a loyal subordinate, a strong and fervent believer. His life did not end meaninglessly, as he had given me a large amount of information and insight about the Half-Demon and this new Living Armor creature," said Bestellen.

"But his soul was destroyed! He did not simply die for his soul to reincarnate through Hekaton's Transmigration cycle…! He is not… He completely disappeared!" said Uphy, blaming Bestellen instead that on Ervas and Veronica.

"Uphy, don't be insolent with Bestellen! Are you shifting the blame to him?! Even though those two monstrosities were the ones that destroyed the soul of Graham Gold?!" asked Rhalorr, clearly enraged by Uphy's remarks.

"I… No, that wasn't what I mean…!" muttered Uphy.

"My lady, please calm down, don't start something!" said Vulcan through telepathy to Uphy.

However, against Rhalorr thoughts, Bestellen did not seem to deny what Uphy accused him of.

"No, I believe that I am at fault of that. After all, I was the one that caused the incident to begin with… I am at fault for this. However, sacrifices are always needed for the greater good to be achieved. Graham's life was necessary for the greater good, and his death has helped us all advance in the plan of annihilating the half-demon and this new threat, the living armor," said Bestellen.

"That's right, my lord!"

"Uphy-sama, please understand,"

"Yes, Bestellen-sama is doing all of this for the greater good of everyone…!"

"Indeed!"

The various Subordinate Gods, Familiar Spirits, and Heroic Spirits gathered within Bestellen's Divine Realm all agreed with God's words, after all, they all were raised to godhood by his hand and powers and saw him as their lord whose words could not be easily defied.

Uphy fell into silence as she decided to not speak anymore, feeling like it was pointless to argue with Bestellen, as he himself accepted that what he did was a 'bad thing', but because he was the personification of Law and Righteousness, anything he did was seen as the truth and law of this world.

If Bestellen said that such sacrifices were necessary, then everyone else would have to accept it, as it was the law that he dictated.

"Well, we get it that sacrifices might be necessary but… Was it good to lose one of Anir's fragments because of this, Bestellen?" asked Chaneyr, the God of Wind and the Sky.

"Certainly, it was a bad decision on my part, I shouldn't have given Graham a fragment of Anir if he would have ended losing. Before the Living Armor showed up, I really thought that he might have a great chance of winning against the half-demon, and we all saw how he almost died as well," said Bestellen.

"Indeed, it was something we could not predict completely, even more now that Fate has begun to fail," said Rhalorr.

Even if they were Gods, they were not omniscient nor omnipotent, and what they could see was dependent on the powers they held or in those of their subordinate Gods.

Gods were able to see things and gather information through the prayers of believers, but even then, if Ervas and Veronica were so hidden from the large nations, it was hard for them to gather info about them if none of their believers could even see them begin with.

"It is certainly a pity that Anir's Bright Eyes were lost, but at the very least, we now know a lot about them, such as their strange abilities, the odd attributes of magic never seen in here, and that they can use Anir and Kelsus Fragments without any issue, seemingly immune to the parasitic effect," said Bestellen.

"Could we stop calling them Anir and Kelsus fragments already? They are not parts of the Gods that made this world, as in fact, all of us are part of them, they're parts of the Demon God King…" said Phunana.

"Certainly, but within each fragment, they hold a greater affinity with a certain Great God. That is a fact, Phunana. Calling them by those names can also make it easy to distinguish them between those more compatible with us and those more compatible with the Dark Gods," said Bestellen.

"Hm… But weren't those two compatible with both?! Like the demon, the kid had Anir's fragments, and I am fairly sure that the Living Armor had Kelsus ones!" said Phunana.

"That's right. They are exceptionally strange and mysterious existences, we must gather more information about them and then finally decide our next course of actions… If they were able to easily kill one of the Five Constellations, even when I made him into a Familiar Spirit, it wouldn't be wise to send more against them without a proper plan…" said Bestellen.

Bestellen seemed filled with conviction, his golden eyes glowed with decisiveness, he had concluded that Ervas and Veronica were far too dangerous to be left alive, but also far too dangerous to treat as simply as sending threats to them.

Especially because they could grow strong from them by devouring their souls, it would not be wise to simply shower them with opportunities to grow stronger constantly.

At most, he would have to do this gradually, and also set some kind of countermeasure against their Soul Break.

"Alongside this, it seems that if they can use Soul Break…" muttered Phunana.

"Hm, they are most likely to wield Death Attribute Magic… What a pain…" said Chaneyr.

"Those that wield Death Magic are always problems to this world's balance, especially because the only capable of wielding such power correctly is Qadall… And he himself had not any contact with us in years…" said Uphy.

"Death Magic also disrupts the Transmigration System set by Hekaton, but I suppose that is nothing for us to care about," said Rhalorr.

"Hm, we might expect a message from him soon enough, as he did several times in the past when the Demon God King disrupted his System by creating armies of Undead," said Bestellen.

"I don't know why but it all smells fishy in here… That powerful Otherworldly Invader… the strange magic aside from death magic… their ability to fuse and employ fragments as if they were part of their bodies… Is it my foresight just kicking in or are their very existences very odd? It is as if those two were brought here by an external force…" said Chaneyr.

"An external force? Who could that be?" asked Rhalorr.

"I don't know, just an inch, don't take anything I said for granted," said Chaneyr as he stretched his arms.

"But still, it is certainly weird. Even more when such powerful beings are in this continent instead of the Continent of the Demon God King or the Demon Continents," said Phunana.

"And even more when that half-demon, who it is clearly not above three years of age has gathered and amassed such an enormous amount of power so quickly… Is the System bugging or something? How can it grant this half-demon so much power in this little time that it had become active?" asked Rhalorr.

"Certainly, that is another mystery…" said Bestellen.

The Gods were left mostly in the blue in here, even after seeing what Ervas and Veronica were capable of, many questions were left unanswered, and many new mysteries emerged.

Bestellen's golden eyes flashed, as he slowly began to scheme things out while glancing from above.

"I mustn't let those two grow stronger, another tragedy like the Ragnar?k cannot happen once more- No, it must happen…" he thought.

Bestellen's mind and thoughts were being slowly encroached by some strange presence within his very soul, rooted deeply on his core.

"Perhaps they might be the ideal candidates…" it wondered.
