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

??

Since he saw Graham being killed he learned a lot of things regarding Ervas and Veronica, such as their strange abilities and more.

However, because of the limitations of a God maintaining the World such as him, what he could do was limited, especially in a world filled with miasma such as Kritias as of now.

He thought that if this were the past, he might have been able to go to the surface and deal with them personally, but he could not enjoy such luxury anymore.

And because he was given the task of maintaining Kritias Light Attribute, he was not able to easily slip off his greatest job and do such outrageous things, as it would spend too much energy, and as an important God given so many burdens, if he were to fall unconscious the entire world would go in peril.

Amongst the many things that he wondered were the origins of Ervas and the mysterious subordinate at his side who was a Living Armor Monster with incredibly intelligence, unbefitting of such a being.

Although it was possible for the Gods to discern Ervas identity through the power of the Fates, who saw the Threads of Fate of Ervas mother and managed to see the information about her son, it was possible to do such a thing for an unregistered monster randomly generated inside a Dungeon such as Veronica.

But even then, he tried to seek for the register of Threads of Fate of monsters, which were billions…

But even after searching for every possible Living Armor in existence, there was no such one as the one with Ervas…

This Living Armor and Ervas had their Threads of Fate nowhere to be seen in Kritias.

But what were Threads of Fate?

Kritias is a mystical world not conventional at all with other worlds, it was a world formed by the corpses of two gigantic and monstrous Gods, Kelsus and Anir, and many of its laws were magical and mystical.

One of such Laws was Fate, a law that Bestellen governed.

The Fate of all Living Beings in Kritias was registered within the world\'s Origin Core through the Thread of Fate they created when they were born.

And they would be registered in the Laws of Fate and the Origin Core.

The Fates, the Goddesses of Fate that we\'re able to easily look and read Threads of Fate were not able to find Ervas nor the mysterious living armor with him…

So Bestellen began to think how it was possible for beings born in Kritias to not have Threads of Fate registered in the world\'s Origin Core…

Unless… they were otherworldly beings summoned here somehow?

But it was registered in Ervas\' mother Thread of Fate that she gave birth to him!

Then, how could it be possible?

Bestellen began to ponder this with his subordinate Gods for a while.

Which God could be capable of bringing such a thing?

He began to scratch each God he knew about… until the only God he thought could work was… someone that was not even from Kritias.

His face was filled with bitterness as he remembered this God\'s name, a God that has been silent this whole time, but that administrated Kritias Souls.

He had spoken with him a few times.

When the world of Kritias had just been formed by the fusion and decomposition of Kelsus and Anir, Bestellen and the other Gods were the first living beings to be born.

The first Gods.

They gained consciousness and learned from each other, and then, felt alone.

Bestellen could barely remember such archaic times, as his mind was clouded with many other memories, and as he grew old, he had begun to forget things…

But in those times, the Gods felt alone and decided to create a life by using the leftover bodies of Anir and Kelsus from where they were born.

They grabbed the pieces of primordial divinity and forged life, animals, humans, elves, dwarves, demons, beast-kin, and more…

Each race was forged by these pieces and thrived.

The little beings could not live for long but multiply very fast, and the Gods began to realize that they had grown attached to them.

In those times when they created life, is when Hekaton emerged.

He told them that he had been sent by his Master, Samsara, an entity from "beyond", the chief of the Transmigration Gods who supported countless worlds across the universe through their soul systems.

Qadall, the Gods of Death and Souls was still a novice in things such as souls, and Hekaton ended convincing Bestellen and Razdall about the benefits of letting him create a transmigration cycle.

Because Qadall was young and was still a novice in the use of his own powers, he couldn\'t do much, and let the Gods do as they pleased.

Hekaton quickly began to transmigrate souls and help the development of life as new living beings began to be born with souls.

Qadall felt betrayed as he thought that doing such a thing was his own work, it was part of his divinity to control souls after all… Due to this, he became colder and senseless and quickly separated himself from his siblings, going to live by himself within his Divine Realm.

At that time, Bestellen thought of Hekaton as a good god…

But he was wrong.

Hekaton was an indifferent God, he was arrogant, and also selfish, incoherent, even.

Because his entire existence was brought due to Samsara\'s detaching a piece of himself and then signing it into a white space where he manages the transmigration of various worlds, Hekaton had lived for millions after millions of years inside of such space, devoid of any interaction not even with his "siblings", he saw all souls within worlds and even living beings as programs, and was completely indifferent when it came to helping the worlds that he managed when they had troubles that the original gods living in there were not able to cope with.

When the miasma waves awakened in Kritias or when the legions of monsters and the first Demon Gods emerged in Kritias due to the decomposition of Kelsus darkness and death, the Gods of Kritias had requested his help as he was a vastly knowledgeable and wise God with great amounts of power which he had accumulated through his long and desolate life.

However, the only thing that this God said to them was "No, it is a problem that you must deal with yourself".

He was not completely wrong, this world was theirs, so they indeed had to deal with it, but Hekaton who had offered so many things and had acted so strangely friendly with the young Gods of Kritias had given the impression that he was a gentle God that wanted to help them and guide them on how to be a God.

But his lack of communication afterward and his complete apathy with what was happening to them had greatly impacted the Gods, who had begun to see him with different eyes.

For someone who managed to many worlds, he was incredibly self-centered.

It was only when the Demon God-King emerged, a being similar to the first Gods of Kritias who possessed several of the Gods abilities, but whose strongest ability was to break and devour Souls, that he decided to intervene, as this God was making his entire Soul System fail.

As his system worked by the simple power generated by souls constantly flowing through worlds when souls broke apart or were eaten, the flow would be interrupted, and errors would emerge.

Even more when Undead began to emerge, souls that were supposed to go back to the transmigration cycle but did not, and created even more errors within the flow of souls… which were his problem to fix, but that made him angered over these Gods ineptitude to be able to deal with their own problems, which ended on him discussing with Bestellen and Razdall about how they needed to do things despite him never having helped them, to begin with.

At some point, Hekaton had tried to try to "help" them by sensing reincarnated souls of humans packed with powerful cheats, which were once called Heroes.

These Heroes, sadly, did not make much history in Kritias, as they were killed incredibly easily by the Demon God-King and his subordinates.

Bestellen had become angered, even, as these "Heroes" were all completely insane people from other worlds that Hekaton thought were fitting for the job of defeating the Demon God-King, he had packed them with power and let them loose in hopes for them to defeat the menace there, but they only made things worse by attacking innocent people they were trying to protect.

Unlike other stories Hekaton had heard about Heroes sent to worlds that actually helped defeat figures similar to the Demon King, his plans went terribly wrong and those he sent had their souls broken and eaten.

He could not even retrieve the soul pieces or anything of the sort, and due to the many errors within his system and the wasted energy, he blamed it all on Bestellen and the other Gods.

Because he lacked empathy and thought that he could not commit mistakes, as everything that could possibly go wrong was always the fault of others involved in it, Hekaton made a terrible impression on the Gods, and their hate for him simply grew deeper.

He simply had a lack of understanding of the risks that his actions could cause, and a lack of care about it nor for the consequences as long as it works in his favor.

Bestellen could remember more and more of the times when this God simply committed terrible mistakes instead of trying to help, blaming it to the Gods instead.

"Who else could have been than him…" thought Bestellen with calm anger.
