Chapter 1512 Yuki's True Identity
-----
Yuki's soul descent into this eternal darkness was stopped by two powerful lights, one golden and the other blue, which embraced her and brought her out of the darkness.
<nulli>FLAAASH!
"What…?"
She had to slowly open the eyes of her soul, as she glanced at a completely different scenario than before, this time she found herself inside a completely new world.
A world of beautiful blue skies, clouds, and floating islands.
She stood over one of such floating islands, the largest of them all, harboring a huge temple with a different architecture she was used to.
The architecture slightly resembled the one found in one of the sects within Jotunheim that was created by a Reincarnated person from Earth, Japan.
However, it also had a hint of Chinese culture to it, all mixed together and made beautifully, expanding into a near-endless garden of colorful flowers and big, beautiful trees.
Sitting inside the temple were four gigantic figures, two of them were obscured, she couldn't discern who they were, but could barely tell their silhouettes.
The other two, she could recognize right away. One was a gigantic white tiger with black stripes, overflowing with a golden aura.
The other was an enormous phoenix whose wings were azure and dark blue, feathers and beak made of frost…
They held intimidating Auras, but what Yuki had in mind right now wasn't being afraid of them!
"Why the heck did you drag me here?! I was dying so tragically and all!" She roared angrily. "And- Huh? Are you the white tiger and that… phoenix guy?"
"Phoenix Guy?!" Her Spirit angrily said. "I am a woman! Also why are you being so disrespectful, you damned master! Act with some more awe or surprised! You're in front of the Great Four Divine Beast Spirits!"
"Okay, okay… I am indeed surprised." Yuki sighed. "I am just trying to cope a bit… So what's going on right now? Didn't I die?"
"Well, you certainly haven't yet." The Tiger spoke. "Your dear friend has been maintaining your life force for now, but once she runs out of Mana, you will surely die."
"Eh? So… Wait, you guys can talk?" Yuki quickly realized this was getting weirder by the second. "I am beginning to think you're not just Spirits."
"Well! Wasn't that obvious already?!" The phoenix sighed. "This master is sure clueless about everything! We are indeed not just Spirits, not even just Divine Spirits. We are Mythical Divine Spirits, and we don't even originate from your world, Yggdrasil."
"We come from faraway lands, we were exiled by the power of the Enemy of our Goddess and former Master, Lady Amaterasu." Sighed the Tiger. "Zipangu."
As the tiger spoke, visions of the world of Zipangu expanded upon Yuki, showing a completely different world than Yggdrasil, one filled with a different culture, different living beings, monsters, and Gods.
It was wondrous to just see a glimpse of its beauty, so many places she has never seen before on Yggdrasil, and so many new people…
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but wonder something.
"Zipangu…" Yuki could swear she heard that name somewhere else. "Wait, Zipangu! Isn't that the world where the soul of the Dream Venerable originated from?"
"So you know that much." The Phoenix seemed slightly pleased. "Indeed, she was the one that helped us when we were exiled from that world, once it was overflowed with Chaos and Death…"
"Just what happened there?" Asked Yuki. "Wait, another question first. Why me? I am the most average person in the entire world, in fact I am below average in everything! I am just a pathetic little rat thing that evolved. Why did you choose me? Just luck?"
"To answer the second question, you're not an average being, you're not either some sort of lower rat as you've said." Sighed the Phoenix. "Master, please have some sort of self-respect, you're someone rather talented in many fields. We've chosen you because of such talents."
"She's lying, we choose you because your soul is special." The Tiger spoke with a serious tone of voice, breaking down the illusion the phoenix was trying to make.
"Hey! I was trying to make her feel special!" Sighed the bird.
"Well she is to an extent." Said the tiger.
"Ugh, how so?" Yuki raised an eyebrow. "And my soul? I thought it was normal?"
"Your soul is special, the very reason why you were smarter than your peers since birth, and the reason you could even communicate with another intelligent bird, learn abilities quickly, and even evolve this far, it wasn't only because of the Dragon King's support." The Tiger said.
"Yuki, you're a Fragment of our Master, Creator, and Mother." The Phoenix spoke. "You're a Soul Fragment of Lady Amaterasu herself, and the most precious of them, her Soul Heart."
"…E-Eh?!"
Although she had no recollection of any such memories, they weren't wrong in that she always possessed human-level intelligence since birth, if not slightly smarter than even humans.
She was born as a little Rat-Chinchilla, yet she was cunning and smart, outlived all her siblings and even managed to become the ally of a powerful being to secure her life.
Above all, she had always possessed a very large quantity of internal mana for some reason, and her abilities with magic, once finally developed, were outstanding as she could combine elements seamlessly.
"You're technically another person entirely at this point, but the origin of your soul remains a fact." The Tiger said. "Master Yuki, we've come back to you, the Heart of Lady Amaterasu, because nobody else held a compatible soul with us."
"You're the only one amongst all beings in Yggdrasil that could have ever made a contract with us." The Phoenix said. "And there are two more of us, waiting for you to grow strong enough to become your allies as well."
Yuki glanced at the two silhouettes behind the two giant Mythical Spirit Beasts…
"Okay, I'm special fine." She laughed a bit. "So how do we get out of here?"
The two Spirits glanced at one another and smiled.
"That's where I enter." The Phoenix smiled. "Master Yuki, through my mystical powers, you will be reborn from the ashes, like a phoenix!"
"Like a-"
Before Yuki could say another word, her body was encompassed by light and… she turned into a giant blue egg!
<nulli>FLAAAASH!
"Yuki?!"
The rabbit-kin was shocked!
