Chapter 1929: Shikigami
Chapter 1929: Shikigami
While I played video games with my daughters, I was also moving through the plains surrounding my Divine Realm, quickly teleporting because I thought moving was just too slow. Teleportation was possible within my Divine Realm at any time and in any direction. FLASH!
Using my Doppelganger Spirit body, I reached a faraway location that was completely empty, a huge grassland of pink colored grass, with a flower garden of white, red, and pink flowers in the distance and strange purple trees.
This was the section of my Divine Realm that had merged with the gigantic Divine Realm of the Venerable of Dreams, the vixen known as Belle, whose Spirit born from a fragment of her soul and will was also called Belle, but both were different.
She was right there, the Astral Divine Avatar of her own Soul, which could manifest within my Divine Realm and around me because she practically merged her whole Legacy into my Divine Realm.
Something similar happened with the Frost Queen, although not completely, she only shared a part of her Legacy with me and also a large fragment of her Divine Realm. The Tower I visited where I did her trial is where she has mostly all her Soul deposited, and also her powers.
It is not an easy place to even invade, and Greenwood hasn't even bothered her yet, so he probably fears her to an extent.
Anyways, we're here for a reason.
"You're finally here, welcome back Drake," the Venerable greeted me, her long tails wagging around, she seemed happy to see me in my Divine Spirit form apparently. "Have you brought Astra with you?"
"Yes, she's here," I nodded, summoning Astra, who quickly greeted everyone else with a nod. "Ah, she's cute!" Belle was happy, running towards her and admiring her composition. "Incredible! No matter how much I look at her, I can never be more amazed and intrigued about her appearance and composition! A spirit of this caliber has never been born!"
"C-Calm down already..." I sighed. "Yuki, are you ready?"
"More or less, yeah," Yuki nodded, as she seemed to be blushing as she glanced at my figure. "Woah that Divine Spirit is your... your body too right?"
"Hm? Ah yeah," I nodded. "It is indeed my body as well, it shares my soul and everything. It has this strange appearance though. I mean not that strange... in my previous life I was a human after all, but yeah, it feels weird to be more humanoid now with the pale white skin and everything."
"You look handsome," said the Fox woman. "I wish you stayed in that appearance forever, honestly! And also, this is your Divine Spirit at the same time as your body, right? It's incredible that's even possible... I guess I was slightly wrong about something, I thought that Spirits and their creations still had limits, but with you added into the equation, such a statement is no longer appliable."
"Sure, I suppose it is," I nodded. "Now let's get this done with, I'm playing video games with my daughters and I want to focus my whole soul into it if possible."
"Hahaha, fair enough... Although I have no idea what video games are," Belle said. "Yuki, come here. Astra, allow me to use your strength."
|| ||
Astra nodded without saying any other word, although she faintly looked at me for a moment, as if asking for permission, she was cute.
Belle then waved her astral hands, touching Astra and merging with her spiritual body, wielding her powers as if they were her own.
Incredible, so this is what the Venerable can do with Spirits, huh?
"I have created a temporary Spirit Connection, her powers are mine to wield even if she isn't my familiar," she explained. "This is one of my special abilities, surprised?"
"A bit," I said.
"Only a bit?!" she cried.
"Whatever, Belle, just keep going!" I said.
"A-Ah, fine..." she groaned.
She rapidly concentrated her memories and everything she wanted Yuki to learn, and through Astra's powers, they were condensed into a single, rainbow colored sphere of psychic energy.
"There," she nodded, quickly moving her hands, and pushing the sphere inside of Yuki's head.
FLAAASH!
The moment she did, a temporary pseudo domain was instantly summoned, as Yuki, Belle, Astra, and I saw an enormous set of visions and scenes.
It was part of the memories she transferred to Yuki, of Belle's life, part of her childhood, her struggles, and also what she learned.
We even saw fragments of the memories she had in her first life as the shrine maiden of a large shrine on her small island.
She surprisingly didn't look too different from her childhood in this world, but her hair was black, and her eyes pink colored.
They were faint, so I wasn't able to really see any story or something.
When it was over, Yuki's eyes widened.
"Woah..."
For a moment, it was all silent, but then, she stood up and summoned her powerful new Spiritual Aura that had been born after I gave her a Spirit Core.
FLUOOOSH!
Thousands of little Shikigami of all colors emerged from her Aura, as she glanced at them, seemingly finally comprehending and understanding how to use them.
"T-This is...! I finally... I finally got it! Oh wow..." She muttered. "Incredible, this is just
insane."
She was just looking at the for a moment, but out of nowhere they transformed, rapidly taking the form of creatures I've never seen before.
A huge blazing lamp with a single eye and a long tongue floating around and spreading flames, a huge parasol or umbrella made of red paper, with a big eye and a demonic-looking
leg it used to leap around.
Muscular red and blue skinned demons, with a single white horn over their heads, which resembled... Onis, I think, actual Japanese Onis, and not the titanic-sized Oni Demons that Pandemonium created.
There were also several other beings, strange looking cats, dogs, old women with ghostly faces, and more, all concentrating together into a sphere on Yuki's hand, and then
disappearing.
"What was that?!" I asked.
"Heheh..." Yuki giggled. "It worked! I was able to summon Shikigami!"
