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

-----

Veronica's claws tightly grasped Natalia once and for all!

Her metallic claws were incredibly hard and cold, and covered in her abyssal spectral soul, beginning to immediately consume Natalia's soul slowly!

Natalia groaned in agony, she was done for!

"Nnngghaaagghh…! Y-You… Back then…! I should have killed you personally…!" groaned Natalia, trying to unleash an attack but being stopped by Veronica's soul, her mana was being completely suppressed by Veronica's abyssal soul! Like a vacuum that sucked it all, she absorbed her energy and didn't let her cast anything!

"E-Eh? I can't… cast anything… Nnghhh…! AAAGGH…!" said Natalia, as she felt her internal organs bursting, her bones cracking, her flesh being crushed by the gigantic metallic claws of Veronica.

This is… the monster that Veronica had become compared to the mere elf she was.

"If those are your last words, then goodbye, Natalia," said Veronica, expanding her soul and encompassing Natalia!

"Nnnnngggrrrryyyyyyyaaaaaaahhhh!!!"

As Veronica hastily consumed Natalia's body to get over this, she suddenly reached the depths of her soul that contained the large lump of divine power!

"This… a Familiar Spirit?"

Hurriedly trying to devour it, Veronica suddenly realized something that even those with her did!

"Wait, Veronica!" cried Shade and Anna almost at the same time, as Veronica suddenly realize the same eerie feeling about this entity, she quickly tried to let it go from her abyssal soul jaws!

But it was too late!

Hekaton glanced at the scene with a pleasant look on his bright yellow eyes.

"I guessed that you would win somehow…" he said while caressing his long beard.

Veronica glanced as the lump of bright yellow light within Natalia's soul began to inflate like a balloon as Natalia's screams intensified!

"Oooogggghhooooggghhh…!"

Suddenly, the large mass of divine power exploded just like an overinflated balloon!

BOOOOOOOM!!!

The explosion of bright light engulfed Veronica's entire soul and metallic body! The powerful energy began to completely consume and fragment her very soul, as her metallic body began to simply turn into ashes!

This was… Hekaton's trump card!

Hekaton smirked lightly as he thought of himself as a genius.

"It was obvious that you would defeat Natalia at the end, so I prepared this little thing whenever she tried to devour the Familiar Spirit I created…" he said, simply waiting for Veronica's soul to fly into the skies so he could grasp it and seal it.

"In a few seconds it should appear…" he said confidently.

Ten seconds passed.

Twenty seconds.

Thirty seconds…

"…Where is it?" asked Hekaton.

Veronica saw her Health Points reduce to zero within seconds, the powerful explosion of Divine Power engulfed her completely, and her metallic body turned almost completely into dust, leaving but a few pieces of scrap.

Her soul was also eaten away at an incredibly fast pace, the power of the divinity of the God of Transmigration such as Hekaton was tremendous, overwhelming in every sense, even, it was true that he was a being who had lived for eons, even before Kritias existed, and had amassed enormous quantities of power.

However, if he had such power, why didn't Hekaton simply came here to get rid of her and Ervas? It was simple, he had all of this power, but it was exclusively to his divinity and his divine realm, in other areas Hekaton's powers paled, he needed to do everything in "his own way" rather than being flexible, he had to find such ridiculous and over the top way of killing them such as creating a Familiar Spirit and then making it explode right before Veronica were to eat the soul of one of the Heroes he gave his Divine Protection to.

Veronica had quickly sent Anna, Shade, Aqua, and the ghosts inside of her inner space within her soul, while letting her soul be consumed as she constantly expanded it, spending large quantities of mana.

But how was it possible for her to be "alive" if her very Health Points were reduced to zero?

Hekaton had thought that simply by doing this, she should simply die.

But well, he didn't know about her actual abilities in detail, such as… [Perseverance].

"If it wasn't for my awakened Hardworking Skill… I would be a goner. To think that what would save me is the awakened version of the Skill I had ever since I reincarnated, it wasn't even… a cheat ability back then… just something that appeared by itself due to me… just working hard…" sighed Veronica, her little soul had reduced in size as she rested atop the debris, the space inside her soul was disconnected yet connected to her but didn't suffer any damage except a slight tremor.

She had used Perseverance to get one shot at immortality and resist the attack with 1 HP… However, this ability didn't matter, as the second afterward that 1 HP was reduced to 0 straight away.

However, she used the other power of this ability, using her own Mana Pool as her Health Points in exchange for taking three times as much damage.

The damage was already monstrous enough to reduce her HP to Zero in a second, and when it was tripled due to using her own Mana as HP, her Mana was now barely at around 140…

However, a second after it began to regenerate, due to her immense regeneration speed, she quickly gained one million of mana, then another million, and another million.

She sighed in relief as her soul began to expand while beginning to think how unexpected this was…

If it weren't for Perseverance, Hekaton would have managed to kill her…

Veronica then remembered that Ervas didn't have the privilege of such an Ability, as she immediately regenerated her metallic body and slowly moved to Ervas' rescue, but her entire soul was still incredibly weakened, she felt as if she had been torn apart into pieces.

"Unngh…! I need to regain strength…" muttered Veronica, as she began to take the power of everyone within the internal space of her soul through the use of the Heart of Gold Skill, alongside momentarily fusing her soul with the many Dead Spirits she had to regain a bit more of energy, but even then, it was not enough.

She hungrily looked around the disaster, she found herself deep within a pit and began to slowly crawl around, until she finally found large chunks of her very soul and that of Natalia and whatever was left of the Familiar Spirit, it seemed that Hekaton had yet to retrieve them.

She began to quickly devour each piece, slithering like a worm, as she was too weakened to move properly.

"Ungh…! I have to go help Ervas…!"

Meanwhile, within Hekaton's Divine Realm, the old God of Transmigration felt shocked.

"She… survived?!"

Although he was a God that would never lose his composure… Veronica and Ervas were the first ones that had made this old god like this.

In a way, they were helping the God develop through mistakes, something that he had never done as he thought that everything he did was well done and that the mistake was sure of someone else.

However, there was no one here to point fingers at other than himself.

"Impossible. What kind of ability does she possess? How is it possible for her to survive that explosion? I had made sure to modify these Familiar Spirits and gave them special Skills with the power to destroy even her soul…"

Hekaton seemed confused and frustrated but quickly calmed himself down.

"It is not over yet…"
