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

Chapter 613 - Discussions And Theories

-----

The revelation about the Demon God King from the future had been revealed, the consciousness of Anir and Kelsus materialized themselves into him, their herald, the one that was destined to bring an end to all things so the two Gods could come back from it, or perhaps, to bring themselves merged once more, to be reborn as their true selves!

"Could it be… was this entire era, this entire existence, since we were created… but a stage on Anir and Kelsus original selves' evolution?" asked Nymera, shocking the Gods. Not even the split souls had thought about it!

"What do you mean?" asked Veronica.

"Oooh! I get it!" said Lamus.

"Interesting, I had not thought about that… Then this most likely means that his objective is to end the world so they can be revived… And when they revive, as their corpses are already merged, he will emerge on his new stage… Perhaps his strongest! Indeed… our very existences, the existences of the worlds… they're merely but an evolutionary stage of this original being that made the world and all of us!" said Vedon.

Vedon explained things in a bit more detail, and everyone finally understood.

"So… The last battle isnt even against Bestellen, it is against the world itself… the Demon God King is but the herald of the world! This is… shocking…" said Razdall.

"So we are the bad guys?" asked Phunana.

"I don't know… But it seems that the world itself rejects us, the gods that maintain the elements." Said Chaneyr.

"Perhaps because of that." Said Nymera.

"Oh! Sister, you're right!" said Vedon.

"Indeed… Because we gods maintain the world's elements as pillars, he wants to defeat us and assimilate us. If the world "ends" when all elements become unstable, it will be when everything begins to be reassimilated into a sole being… most likely, the world itself and all of us, everything on it, even the tiniest bacteria will turn into an enormous new entity…" said Lamus.

"But… that doesn't sound so bad, right? We wouldn't die…" said Uphy.

"How doesn't it sound bad, sister? We'll lose all we are made of! All of our personalities… everything… we will only return to our most primal existences as Primordial Essence…" said Roneas.

"A-Ah… Will that happen?" asked Uphy.

"Hmm… it is only a speculation, but if the Demon God King is not trying to convince us nicely, it probably means that he already knows that we would reject the offer because of this possibility. If we all become one with the world once more, we'll become our true selves, but we'll lose everything we are now…" said Vedon.

"And wouldn't that be effectively dying anyways?" asked Nymera.

"So that's why, supposedly, we shouldn't accept this fate." Said Lamus.

"But the worst part is that… Now that I know how it is, there's something in my chest that makes me feel bad about this whole ordeal… I mean, weren't we supposedly a single being? We are defying our evolutionary stage and our true selves to stay as the beings we became after fragmenting…" said Razdall.

"Indeed, it is quite hard to swallow, however, I am not going to fuse with the planet. Although I feel a bit like you, brother. I also think that it would be like dying at the end, our personalities and senses of self would be erased, what would be left would be nothing but energy, the primordial energy we are made of." Said Tevra.

"Perhaps at the end, we might remain as some kind of information gathered by the Original Being, which would turn our knowledge into wisdom and most likely attain common sense, something this creature of enormous proportions and power lacked." Said Vedon.

"So our purpose was to build common sense to this entity?! That was it?!" asked Uphy.

"Indeed… Life experiences, and more… Perhaps? Although the Demon God arrived very early in the development of our world, meaning that we had already reached enough knowledge for common sense, and right after that, the world created him to get things done with." Said Lamus.

"This… I don't like this! It feels so wrong… I don't want to go back to being that weird monster…" said Roneas.

"We might all unify as our true selves but… What's the point of that? Isn't it worth what we are now? Isn't it better what we had become?" wondered Keshia.

"I think the same…" said Qadall.

Ervas and Veronica heard the words of all the gods, as they nodded.

From the beginning that they weren't going to let the world assimilate them anyways.

"So it is decided, we'll fight back against Bestellen, and we'll destroy his parasite, free him from its control, and stabilize the situation." Said Ervas.

"After that… Well, I don't know, we'll figure it out as we go." Said Veronica.

Such a simple plan!

However, they were so strong that it seemed to make sense, after all, when you have so much might, is it necessary to plan things out so much?

Why bother when you can just start throwing fists?

The gods laughed a bit at their simplemindedness, but they were also the strongest here, and were quite intelligent themselves…

"Haha! You're right, we are thinking way too much." Said Razdall.

"What we should prioritize is defeating the enemy we have in front of us, not have an existential crisis." Said Lamus.

"But even then, knowing his true purpose bothers me… What if even after defeating him for real, he comes back somehow? We cannot be constantly fighting him as he parasitizes us all the time, right?" asked Vedon.

"And well, there's something else I want to adress… Why do you two are capable of fusing with the Demon God King's fragments without repercussions? It is something that not even us, the gods born from the world, can properly do…" said Razdall.

"Essentially, we had fused with them. We don't exactly know why or how this works, even after investigating it…" said the fusion.

"I have a theory…" said Lamus.

"Theory?" asked everyone.

"I might have figured what Veronica and Ervas truly are…"
