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

Chapter 277 - Kireina



??

"Are you one of my coworkers? Do you remember dying with a ton of your coworkers inside a restaurant?" asked Ervas.

"Huh? Oh! So you are not aliens? Are you humans too? Well, former humans?! And nope, I don\'t remember anything of that, I used to be a neet, and died out of a cold and fever," said the entity.

"Why didn\'t you go to a doctor?!" asked Veronica.

"Ah, it was too costly!" said the entity.

"But it was your life! Life is priceless!" said Veronica.

"Yeah, I used to not think that before, so I didn\'t mind dying, to be honest…" said the entity.

"A-Anyways, we are also former humans, we used to live in a world name Earth, did you live in one as well?" asked Ervas.

"Oh! Sure thing, I did! So you are former earthlings?! My brethren!" said the entity, Kireina.

"T-This is insane, Ervas! An eldritch goddess used to be a neet on earth!?" asked Veronica.

"After everything we have seen, you shouldn\'t be surprised for something like this…" said Ervas.

"Oh, you might be right…" said Veronica.

"Hmm, I have the itch that our earth, might not be the same…" said Kireina.

"What do you mean?" asked Veronica.

"Have you ever heard of parallel worlds?" asked Kireina.

"Oh, sure thing, we are actually in a parallel world from the previous world already… A mirror world…" said Ervas.

"Oh? So you are experts in the field then! Well yeah, to summarize all the babbler, I believe that we come from a parallel earth. But I do not know, this might just be an itch, there is nothing we can do to confirm this," said Kireina.

"Maybe there could be slight differences? Let\'s ask about something important…" said Veronica.

"Hm, like what?" asked Kireina.

"Who was the most recent president of America as of 2018?" asked Ervas.

"Hm? Oh, Donald Trump?" asked Kireina.

"So it is a different earth…" said Ervas.

"Wait, didn\'t Donald won there?" asked Kireina.

"No, Hillary Clinton won here," said Ervas.

"E-Eh?! Damn, well, not like I care, I didn\'t even live in America…" said Kireina.

"Where did you live? Maybe a weird country not on our earth?" asked Veronica.

"In Japan. Does it exist there?" asked Kireina.

"It does, but we are not from Japan," said Ervas.

"Yeah, we were from Canada!" said Veronica.

"Oh my, such names bring a lot of tenderness. Even if they are from a parallel earth, it does feel quite nice to hear them from a fellow reincarnate! Anyways, what do you require my help for?" said Kireina.

"Ah, nothing much. I do not really want to force you into it. You seem to have connected with us more than we imagined…" said Ervas.

"Yeah, can we talk some more?" asked Veronica.

"Hmm, sure thing! I do not see why not? So tell me more about your world, I think I\'ve changed my mind, I might share a bit of my won as well!" said Kireina.

"Really?" asked Veronica.

"Yeah, yeah! Talk away!" said Kireina.

"Alright… but it\'s a long story…" said Ervas.

Then, Ervas and Veronica explained to Kireina most of their story up to this point, how they used to be a simple human woman on Earth, her death and reincarnation, that strange god that gave them the Samsara System, how they went to Kritias as Anastacia and died to their former coworkers, and how they had their souls pierced, reincarnating twice, meeting up, gathering friends and allies, beating Oggoth and the Necromancer, and more.

Kireina was left even a bit startled, all of the story itself was worth a novel by itself!

"Amazing, you two got such an interesting story… And Kritias, huh? Do you know? That world is pretty amazing… Made from two dead gods and all… And really, that you two used to be one is baffling! Such an interesting power and backstory… Veronica is a Living Armor and Ervas a Half-Demon that has like a million bloodlines? You two really have a lot going on for you, pretty amazing," said Kireina.

Ervas and Veronica could not help but feel a bit embarrassed over the praises of Kireina, this entity that seemed to be incredibly powerful seemed to have begun to admire them a bit, especially because they were like her, reincarnate individuals from a parallel Earth.

"Now, now, time to hear my own story! Brace yourselves because it is just as long! Well, it all started when I died from a fever… and boom! I became a Caterpillar!" said Kireina.

"A Caterpillar?! Are you kidding me?" asked Veronica.

"You must be surely joking…" said Ervas.

"Hahaha… No, I actually became a Caterpillar," said Kireina with a profoundly serious tone of voice.

"…Eh?"

Within Ervas and Veronica\'s minds, they could not simply muster how did a damn Caterpillar transform into such an abomination!

"Now sit tight, and hear me well, because I am not going to go in too many details!" said Kireina.

Kireina\'s story was like its own novel by itself as well, she had reincarnated as a Caterpillar within the world of Genesis, an old world that was once destroyed by Gods, and whose pieces were restored into multiple realms, forming a small universe within the remaining pieces of the planet. She was reborn in a Realm named Vida, filled with deadly beasts and arrogant Gods.

Kireina survived with all of her wits, and by abusing the system that already existed in Genesis, which was set by the Gods to strengthen mortals similarly than Kritias System, she became strong by fighting against countless threats, evolving until the point where she became a fairy, conquering the forest and building her own Kingdom of monsters.

Since then that she began to do many things, she even had a harem of her own, and somehow, had many children with girls… despite being a girl herself. Call it the power of being a shapeshifter, as she said.

She even got into a war against an enormous Kingdom of Humans filled with Heroes with fantastical powers, which Ervas and Veronica could clearly identify as all S-Ranked Adventurers in strength at minimum. Afterward, she actually won somehow through her absurd powers, ate all of the Heroes, and conquered a Kingdom, expanding her own Kingdom and changing it to an Empire.

And after a lot of fights, wars, and many other things, she even fought against a Vampire Goddess named Agatheina, making this goddess her first loyal divine servant! Crazy, right?

She even conquered enormous dungeons filled with their own ecosystems, ate a sealed demon god (similarly to Ervas and Veronica), got stronger and stronger, and fought against another god, one related to nightmares, which gave her the power of dreams.

Afterward, she fought with even more gods, up to this very point, where she now had her own Pantheon composed of many loyal Gods who protected her and her empire and family, while plotting and scheming with her to overtake the world.

She was certainly not a heroine nor a good person at all, at most, she was a chaotic neutral person. And seemed more like a villain by all of Ervas and Veronica\'s standards.

However, she said that everything she did was to protect her beloved ones and her Empire, and Ervas and Veronica could not help but agree with her, they had the same burning desire to do anything they could to protect what they loved.

"So that\'s it," said Kireina.

"Woah…" said Veronica.

"And you\'re telling me that you did all of this in less than a year?" asked Ervas.

"Y-Yeah. In here, everything is pretty fast-paced. You gotta keep moving and getting stronger if you don\'t want to be squashed to death," said Kireina.

"Well, it is not so different in here…" said Veronica.

"Indeed, we all have it rough, isn\'t it?" asked Ervas.

"Yeah… Part of being a reincarnated person, I suppose… Anyways, I guess we have become fairly good friends, aren\'t we? Even though our worlds are so different, even though our lives are so different, we can find many things to agree with and that we are very similar with… How about it? Let\'s an ally, my first alliance with people from another world, actually!" said Kireina.

"This is…" muttered Veronica.

"Well…" said Ervas.

"Eh? What is it? You don\'t like it? Well, I know I am quite the villain myself… but I swear that I treat well my friends!" said Kireina.

"No, it\'s not that, we are quite moved," said Veronica.

"Indeed, this is pretty overwhelming… but we accept, Kireina," said Ervas.

"Indeed, let\'s do it! A world alliance!" said Veronica.

"R-Really?! Now, this is what I am talking about! …Though, how do we do this? We sign some papers or…?" muttered Kireina.

"Gah…! If you don\'t know, then why do you even come out with the idea?!" asked Veronica.

"Hahaha!" laughed Kireina.

"There are ways to form a permanent connection. Through your explanations, you said you have various abilities to divide yourself and connect your soul with your divided body parts, right? We are quite amateur into that yet, but you seem pretty advanced," said Ervas.

"Oh yeah! Oh? I know what you have in mind… Also, I just come out with yet another layer of connection… Although I am a mortal, I can give Divine Protections, did you know?" asked Kireina.

"Y-You can?" asked Veronica.

"Indeed! Now, let me grant you my Blessings- I mean, Divine Protections… That\'s how they\'re called in here, right?" asked Kireina.

"Indeed… Also, if you could do the same thing as the other entities, it would be appreciated as well," said Ervas.

"Sure thing! Like this, I will be able to always accompany you through your adventures. Damn, this is true quite the insane plot twist," said Kireina.

"Don\'t talk as if this was a novel, Kireina-san!" laughed Veronica.

"Anyways, there you go…" said Kireina.

Although Ervas and Veronica could not see her body at all, they could feel as if a slight, incredibly tiny piece of her own soul and \'flesh\' was detached from her, and flew through the void, barely managing to enter through it.

The \'piece\' of Kireina\'s flesh and soul materialized itself as a small, red-colored flesh slime filled with eyes, jaws, fangs, and many other things.

"Well, maybe this appearance is a bit strange… How about this?" asked Kireina, shapeshifting into a beautiful purple butterfly.

"A butterfly…" said Veronica.

"Welcome to the crew, Kireina," said Ervas.

"Sure thing, now I gotta go, so take good care of my little clone! See ya!" said Kireina\'s main body, disappearing at the same time as Ervas and Veronica\'s consciousness drifted through their dreams, waking up from their sleep.

In front of Ervas, the floor was shining brightly as a magic circle opened, materializing yet a new entity from another world.

"Hey, I like this place, you live in a castle-like me?" it said.

Ding!
