Chapter 505 - The Next Course Of Action
??
It was like a beautiful and large forest, covering the sky and the sun a bit.
Large plants were growing everywhere, alongside grass, colorful flowers, and small animals.
Small rodents ran around, little rabbits ate grass and hopped through the place, and countless types of birds could be seen singing all types of sounds over the canopy of the trees.
There were also monkeys roaming around, glaring at the people curiously.
When Jason everyone opened eyes, what he found in front of him, aside from this scenery, was Ervas, Veronica, and Kireina.
Everyone quickly jumped over them hugging the split souls, although Kireina did not receive as much love as they had just met her, Ditoyle hugged her, nonetheless.
Although only five hours had gone by since the last time they saw them, they were still worried about them, and even more when they knew that they had suddenly left the world of Kritias.
Veronica hugged everyone as she extended her arms like noodles, and so did Ervas.
"Please, everyone, calm down, you only didn\'t see us for five hours…" sighed Veronica.
"Yeah, we\'ll have a lot of free time here to enjoy together," said Ervas.
"This place… I think I recognize it, isn\'t this place Alfheim? One of your inner worlds within your divine realm, right?" asked Anna.
"Yeah, we brought you here because it is a pretty world," said Veronica.
"Now, I guess it is time for explanations… So let\'s go to the palace first," said Ervas.
"Oh, palace?!" asked Jason.
Gaia and Shade were left within their Divine Realm as well, so they didn\'t participate in the battle against Hekaton, the two spirits, alongside all of the spirits of the people were brought here, away from Kritias even though they were natural beings from this world, this was thanks to them having been automatically bound into Ervas and Veronica\'s Divine Realm, which had now become their "main world".
Similarly, there could be the possibility to create Spirits from zero now, if the two were to apply the same rules of binding spirits into their divine realms by making the divine realms supply with essence and mana and then reverse engineer it. But that thought would be left for way later.
The group quickly walked into the palace, where they found Selene and Wellerman sitting over the grasslands, the two seemed rather tranquil, and also meet with each other for the first time. Ervas and Veronica noticed that the two instantly clicked with each other and that a little romance might surge between the two… maybe.
The Undead inside both of them were also carried in here, and they were currently scouting the entire forest, the pirate skeletons seemed to be having their own fun too, as they began to swim and catch fish inside a nearby river.
When everyone reached the palace, which seemed to be a giant golem made of white stone and decorated with many beautiful elf-like decorations made of gold and other stuff, Ervas and Veronica decided to finally explain what happened to them.
They started from defeating the Demon Gods, to discover the Spatial Sword, and then evolving and changing Jobs, which triggered a series of events where Fafnir Zahhak, an enormous dragon that everyone met on the way was born from their trees, they had also seen these trees before, so the people were not unfamiliar with them, but they were shocked when Ervas said that Fafnir Zahhak was pretty much something like the child of the two split souls.
"Eeeh?! So you two had a child!?" asked Anna.
"Ervas! Aren\'t you too young to be a father?" asked Jason.
"I thought we were going to have our own kids first, pekoooo!" cried Pekorina.
"Yeah! Y-You should have told us at the very least," said Amelia.
"I think you two are over exaggerating…" sighed Acathea.
"I don\'t know what to say," said Shade, as she now had the appearance of a cute girl, and a physical body, she was sitting over the floor cross-legged.
"Ervas! Baby with me too?" asked Gaia.
"Erm… I wouldn\'t mind it, but later… Please, calm down," sighed Ervas.
"I wonder if we could use a similar method to have a child…" said Anna.
"Eh? W-Well…" muttered Veronica while blushing.
"Mama, does this means that Fafnir and Zahhak are my siblings?" asked Kuro, as she was petting Fafnir Zahhak from the window, the large dragon extended his snout upwards, letting the girl touch it with her cold phantom hands. It seemed that the dragon instinctively felt a connection with little Kuro.
"Err… Yeah, I think so," said Veronica.
After many explanations where the two split souls answered awkward questions, the two finally moved into the reason of how they traveled into Hekaton\'s Divine Realm, fought him, and then devoured him at last.
Everyone was surprised, happy, and rather relieved that one of the eyesores on the list of Gods to kill was finally gone from their radar, although they wished they could have participated in the battle, they recognized that for such a battle it wouldn\'t have been necessary their help anyways.
After all, what the two wanted at the end was a happy and fulfilling life, so getting him out of the map without anyone getting injured was the best possible future.
They wanted all these people around them to be happy at their side, and to be honest, both of them fought because it was necessary, but not because they enjoyed the battle.
However, in a world where Gods were trying to kill them due to what they were, it was necessary to grow stronger and get rid of the problems first.
And one of the biggest problems and eyesores was finally taken care of, Hekaton, the literal cause of all of this!
Well, in the end, there was still a lot to do, way more.
And as of now, after explaining the whole ordeal, the two explained what was actually happening at this very moment.
"I simple terms, our souls are mixing up and evolving while comprehending the Laws and information that Hekaton had, while also stabilizing the transmigration cycles he maintained…" said the two at the same time.
