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

Chapter 178 - A Visit From The Goddesses Of Beast-kin

-----

Ervas and Veronica fell asleep at almost the same time, as both had changed Jobs to Yin and Yang.

??

And as they slept, their consciousnesses were dragged to a sudden black scape, where both met with each other.

They glanced at each other and found their souls, which had instinctively wrapped with each other through a thick soul thread.

"Another weird dream this time?" asked Ervas.

"Yeah, I presume that Oggoth's ability to control the mind might have enhanced this new capability of us," said Veronica.

"That sounds quite cool, honestly… But what do we do in here? Do we just sit and wait?" asked Ervas, he was slowly becoming more expressive, as he regained bright emotions while growing and developing his soul.

"Yeah, I don't know! …Maybe something is about to happen-"

"Errr… It's me again, hi" said the voice of a young girl, resonating from the ground down below Ervas and Veronica…

Ervas and Veronica glanced at the dark floor… as they found a tiny squirrel. This squirrel was even smaller than the one they found in a past dream, as it only fitted in the tip of their fingers.

"Oh, are you Rat?" asked Veronica.

"I would prefer if you called me by my full name…" muttered the tiny squirrel, as she was carried by Ervas and Veronica's… grotesque soul hands, which Ratatoskr was containing her fear towards due to the strange and bizarre changes that they had experienced in just a few weeks after having talked with them…

Although both Ervas and Veronica did notice that their souls were wrapped around, they did not truly realize the grotesque appearance that they had taken.

To Ratatoskr, they resembled an enormous, one hundred meters tall giant made out of ethereal and phantasmal abyssal dark and bright white.

The enormous and humanoid phantasmal giant had a large void on its chest, which rotated constantly as if it were a black hole.

Its head had four crimson eyes, atop the head there was a large yellow halo made out of light, it had four phantom-like wings, four gray-colored arms, and all around its body, it was covered by dark scales, resembling an armor, while there was also disgusting red flesh, which pulsated constantly entangled all around the body.

And last but not least, there was an enormous fleshy and crimson eye in the forehead of the giant… resembling that of a Gazer.

"What the heck is that? Are they really Ervas and Veronica?! They have to… their voices and their overall atmosphere is the same! But what are that red flesh and dark scales in their souls?! Anir and Kelsus Fragments?! And they are sane by having them merged into their souls just like that?! And what about that eye! Is that Oggoth?! Why is he there?! Ah- Oh right, you can hear me, right?" asked Ratatoskr.

"Yes, that was very rude of you…" said Ervas.

"What?! Do we look that ugly?!" asked Veronica.

"Sorry… I do not really mean any bad intention… I was just… Surprised about your sudden changes, your souls were pretty big before… but not as bizarre as now! Just what happened after Oggoth's defeat? Ah, and congratulations for defeating it by the way…" said Ratatoskr.

"We ate him," said Ervas' voice within the enormous giant.

"Yes, he was particularly bitter, but we also ate the fragments he had. They are pretty comfortable inside our souls, and they are not revolting at all either! Who would had thought?" said Veronica's voice within the terrifying giant.

"That's… But how?! How can your souls be fine?! Weren't you mortals anyway?" asked Ratatoskr.

"We don't know," said Ervas.

"We have no clue at all, we just can… That's what we know" said Veronica.

"What?! How is that even an answer- Sigh… Sorry, I am getting out of my way with this, you just defeated Oggoth and I am here interrogating you two… Anyways, I wanted to thank both of you once again for getting rid of him… Through your methods… Your power, the power to break souls has not been seen in a while in the world, you know? You must be careful of not provoking other Demon Gods until you reach the Demon Continent so we can meet with you and the other gods!" said Ratatoskr.

"Okay, we'll try to be careful," said Ervas.

"We are always careful!" said Veronica.

"Ah, right! I also brought some friends, they just recently woke up just for this occasion… Hey! Girls come here! It's Ervas and Veronica! Do not be worried, they are good people… despite their overwhelming appearances" said Ratatoskr, as two more figures emerged from within the darkness of the place…

It was a small, fluffy, and brown-colored raccoon with a leaf atop its head, and a small, blue-colored rabbit with a tattoo depicting a golden-colored half-moon on its forehead.

"H-Hello, nice to meet you… I-I am Ophelia…" muttered the tiny rabbit.

"And I am… Daeva…" said the raccoon.

"Ophelia and Daeva… as if, the two goddesses?" asked Ervas.

"That's right! They are the one and only Ophelia and Daeva! In the flesh- well no, in the soul!" said Ratatoskr.

"Yes… We apologize for our appearances. Much like Rat, we have weakened after the battle a few years ago, and we just recently woke up from a slumber to recover strength, we are still fairly weak, so we had taken into this… lesser form to appear in here" said Ophelia.

"This is quite overwhelming… Are you two okay? Don't you two feel… any pain?" asked Daeva.

"Pain? No?" asked Ervas.

"No, we don't… Why?" asked Veronica.

"N-Nothing… never mind my question…" muttered Daeva.

Ervas and Veronica glanced at each other in confusion… they really did not understand what the big deal with their appearances was, they looked and felt just an always for them. There was no pain nor disturbances. In fact, they probably felt even more energy than ever before.

The three Goddesses then once again thanked the pair for their efforts against Oggoth, and asked the two if they wanted anything… they were willingly asking them if they wanted something from them, anything would do to an extent, as long as it was within their capabilities.

"Oh, I got a fairly good idea… Can you come to pick us up through the sky? Gods can fly, right?" asked Ervas.

"Yeah, so we can go faster to the Demon Continent!" said Veronica.

"That's… impossible, sorry," said Ratatoskr.

"We are too weakened to even do such a feat…" said Ophelia.

"Weak… I'm still sleepy" said Daeva.

"Then what else? You cannot bless us, and you have blessed most of what you can in our Kingdom… Hm, how about curry favor us with the Dark Gods? Do you girls know them?" asked Veronica.

"Good idea, Veronica," said Ervas.

"Yes… That, we could do!" said Ratatoskr.

"I think we should be capable of asking for a small meeting with them… though I don't know if the leader will be present, as he is currently recovering after his fight against Bestellen," said Ophelia.

"That's good enough… Though I am rather worried about our appearances spooking them, so do not tell them that," said Ervas.

"Yeah! And any of them will do… We just want to build some connections with them. Tell them that we mean no harm and that we are allies… and that we will be bringing a large amount of population there in the next couple of months or years" said Veronica.

"I see! Very well, leave it to us!" said Ratatoskr.

"Thanks, we all appreciate your efforts," said Ervas.

"Also, make sure to go rest afterward, you three are too tiny and cute!" said Veronica.

"W-We'll do…" muttered the three goddesses.

"Wait, before going, we should give them something more… I feel like it's not enough," said Ophelia.

"Something more?" asked Daeva.

"Yes… Ouch" said Ophelia, as she took out a large piece of her fur, alongside her whole rabbit ear.

"Hey, are you alright?" asked Ervas.

"Yes… please take this," said Ophelia.

Ervas and Veronica glanced at the fur and the rabbit ear with curiosity and a bit of awe… What were they supposed to do with something like this anyways?

"Oh, mine as well, I suppose," said Daeva, taking out her whole raccoon tail and giving it to the pair.

"I guess it's a way to help… though such an idea would only come to someone like Ophelia," said Ratatoskr, as she took out her fluffy squirrel tail indiscriminately.

Ervas and Veronica were in disbelief. Why were these goddesses self-mutilating themselves in front of them… and then giving them their body parts and fur?

"Why are you doing this?" asked Ervas.

"Could you three stop?" asked Veronica.

However, in the end, the pair still had the body parts in their claws…

"We were not mutilating ourselves, these bodies that you see are our souls, we simply give you a part of it… not to eat it though," said Ratatoskr.

"Yeah, use them well, they're special. With them, you can give blessings to those that are not even compatible with us… as long as you can find a way to give them directly to the soul of such people or monsters" said Ophelia.

"I see… so these are useful so they can progress even faster?" asked Ervas.

"Kind of! You will know what to do with them! Yawn… I'm quite sleepy now…" muttered Ratatoskr.

"We'll take our leave now, I'm tired…" said Ophelia.

"We will make sure to tell the Dark Gods about your Heroic Feats, so rest assured!" said Daeva, as the three goddesses disappeared, and the dream slowly faded away.
