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

Chapter 333 - Kosmos: New Goals And Tasks! Time To Save Kosmos!

-----

After Kireina related mostly everything she knew about the System Master's Origin and even how he came to be in Genesis, Hades, Nyx, and Thanatos were only left with even more questions.

??

Although a very obvious one came to their minds.

"Why would he even reincarnate normal people from other worlds? Is there even a point in doing that? Can't he just use the souls from his original world if he wanted someone as strong as you to be born in Genesis?" wondered Nyx.

"I don't really know. It really looks like it was pretty random, but there should have been an actual reason behind it other than for the shit and giggles," said Kireina.

"He has already shown that he has a lot of weird intentions and underhanded motives, so it is most likely planning something even with Kireina's "random" reincarnation," said Veronica.

"Indeed, just like with Hekaton who reincarnated us to test his stupid System, and everything ended going wrong for us… Well, at least we have the freedom to do whatever we want unlike our second lives," said Ervas.

"Hekaton as well… He's a Transmigration God, right? From where he originated?" wondered Hades.

In Kosmos, there was not an external God handling the reincarnation cycle, as Hades, Thanatos, and other Gods that inhabited the Underworld managed the souls of the fallen mortals.

"We have no idea," said Ervas.

"I presume that from the outside of the worlds? I think he was testing this System for something else, he most likely serves other Transmigration Gods or something," said Veronica.

"Sadly we lack more information about those things, maybe when our bodies at Kritias finally get to talk with one of the Dark Gods, we might get more important info regarding this whole ordeal," said Kireina.

"Well, that's fine, we cannot interrogate you guys all the time… Anyways, thanks for the meal," said Hades as she patted her belly.

"Hades-sama, you ate almost my entire stock of food…" muttered Thanatos.

"Well? What about it? I am the Queen of the Underworld, literally all the food you served me was taken from that place!" said Hades rather smugly.

"I guess…" sighed Thanatos.

"I wonder what our next course of should be action? Perhaps we should let Veronica lead Ervas and Kireina into the next Dungeon we want them to clear?" wondered Nyx.

"Yeah… Well, Ervas and Kireina would need to get a bit stronger before that, so maybe we can let Veronica train them in my domain," said Hades.

"Your domain?" asked Ervas.

"You mean the Underworld?" asked Kireina.

"Yep, that very damn one! The Underworld was also affected by the miasma, although because it was already a gigantic and chaotic place, it did not change much. There were already several labyrinths on it anyways, more rifts leading to random dungeons did not matter as much as monsters and undead beasts roam that place freely. We Gods simply maintain them out of our territories, but they're so many that it becomes useless to try to eradicate them all, especially because they're a good resource of food for us and our servants," said Hades.

"Do you gods even need to eat?" wondered Ervas.

"Of course! It's nice to fill my belly. Although I don't think we need it to survive, we get a lot of energy by eating food, if we don't, we might grow weakened. Although that would only happen if we went through hundreds of years without eating anything… Haha," said Hades.

"So you really don't need it then," said Ervas.

"Hey! Eating is nice! I didn't need to eat either but look at me! I ate so much I even got Gluttony!" said Veronica.

"I can see that," said Ervas.

"Anyways, now what should we do? I am pretty sure that Thanatos doesn't want these two to stick to him all the time, right?" asked Hades.

"I-I… well, if Hades-sama wants me to, I will have to," said Thanatos.

"Don't worry, I am actually going to take them for me instead," said Hades.

"Eh? Really? Thanks a lot- Wait, do we have to… C-Connect our souls then?!" asked Thanatos in excitement and embarrassment, he was secretly in love with Hades, and doing such a thing deeply impacted his emotional health!

"Yeah… What about it? Don't get all shy, come on, give me your soul," said Hades while grinning like a cheeky girl.

"A-Alright then…" sighed Thanatos, as he and Hades connected Souls.

"Now come to me!" said Hades, calling upon the Clones of Ervas and Kireina into her own soul, and connecting them to her Origin instead!

Flash!

Ervas and Kireina's souls then felt an immediate rush of new power!

This was the shared power of the Goddess of the Underworld, the Queen of this world where the death rested!

Her strength was even comparable to Zeus, although Thanatos represented Death, his power was more conceptual than energy-based, and when Ervas and Kireina connected themselves with Hades, they felt a new rush of power.

"Good, now you two are my Champions! Although I don't think I have a Nation to tell this to that lives in the surface," laughed Hades.

"Wouldn't it be more fitting for Veronica to become your champion? She's all about death. I am better at Life Attribute, and Kireina… well, she's fitting for everything I guess," said Ervas.

"Oh? Does that means that… you don't want me?" asked Hades with a saddened expression.

"(Eh? What with those puppy eyes?) No… I mean, it's fine. I am very grateful to be taken below your tutelage," said Ervas politely.

"Indeed, and you're also such a beauty, I would gladly serve you for now," said Kireina coquettishly.

"Beauty? Fufu, I guess you have good eyes, Kireina!" laughed Hades.

"Hm… However, Ervas is right, wouldn't it be better if we let them connect with more than one Origin? It should be possible, right? They seem to get a boost in power while being connected to our Origin… so if they are connected to many at the same time…" said Nyx.

"Oh, sounds good! I didn't think about it…!" said Hades.

Then, Nyx and Hades' souls entangled together, forming a Soul Bond immediately, as Ervas, Veronica, and Kireina shared their Origin, multiplying their boost of power!

Then, the two tall and imposing beauties glanced at Thanatos with fierce and voracious expressions in their eyes.

"Eh? What? M-Me? You mean I should… connect with both of you not only momentarily but… always?!" asked Thanatos.

"I don't know what's wrong with that, why do you feel so flustered?" wondered Hades.

"Grab him," said Nyx viciously, as she extended her shadows and grabbed Thanatos like a fierce dominatrix.

"Geh!" cried Thanatos, as Hades jumped towards him!

"Now, give us your soul, fufu~ Don't worry, it won't hurt…" said Hades devilishly, as Thanatos felt both frightened and aroused!

Flash!

Then, an extended thread of his soul entangled with that of Nyx and Hades, forming a triple Soul Bond!

Now, Ervas, Veronica, and Kireina shared three Origins with three very strong Gods from Kosmos!

They felt like their potential was now surging!

"Ugh… I feel like my virginity has been taken from me…" muttered Thanatos.

"Aren't you being a bit too extreme there?" asked Hades.

"How do you three feel now?" asked Nyx.

"We certainly felt that powerup," said Veronica.

"Indeed, I feel stronger than before, I might as well begin grinding straight away," said Ervas.

"I even got a few bonus Skills through this System, so it worked wonderfully," said Kireina.

"Good to know! See? It was just as easy as that, Thanatos! Don't get so depressed over such a thing, alright?" asked Hades rather smugly.

"Y-Yeah, maybe I was… overexaggerating things," sighed Thanatos.

"I wonder how Zeus would react if he were to know that two more aliens just came here," said Veronica.

"We better not tell him yet, but as long as we are all together, it should work," said Hades.

The party then walked out of Thanatos' palace, where they were greeted by a vast forest filled with old and dry trees whose tallness was immense.

Each tree also had skull-shaped, blue-colored fruits growing from them, and whose leaves were also blue.

The trees released an eerie mist that filled everything.

"Ah, this is my forest of Necrotic Plants, in this place is where I harvest some of the fruits and vegetables you ate today," said Thanatos.

"So this is the Underworld…" said Ervas, glancing at the sky as there was a very far away cave ceiling filled with colorful blue crystals illuminating the place.

To their front there was the gigantic Necrotic Forest, to their left there was a large river filled with souls that flowed all across the Underworld, and to their right, there were several mountain-sized rock structures with sharp pikes where black clouds and specters roamed, alongside gigantic and bizarre flying creatures that did not stop screaming furiously.

Ervas, Veronica, and Kireina could also see very far away a large lake made entirely out of blood, where strange and formless creatures emerged from time to time.

A few kilometers away laid a town, filled to the brin with Undead citizens, ghosts, skeletons, zombies, and more, the same people that lived in Thanatos Palace.

"The Underworld is below the surface, so it is as extensive as the surface itself, be prepared to explore a lot," said Hades.

"That town is where Undead that does not want to be reincarnated live, it has been growing lately as people don't want to go back to the surface filled with dungeons and monsters… Although it is kind of the same down here, so I do not know what the difference is true," sighed Thanatos.

"Interesting! Let's go take a look then~!" said Veronica, leading the party.
