As Veronica explained the things she had done last night, while also enlightening Daniel about Qadall's intentions on his original World, Ervas opened the conversation once more, wanting to tell his family what he had seen when he managed to enter his Soul once more.
?
"After I acquired the Mana God Job, my Soul seemed to have evolved, and its powers amplified a bit. Alongside that-"
"MANA GOD?!" asked Jason.
"What kind of Job is that?!" asked Ismene.
"Err…" muttered Ervas.
"My lord! Amazing! He has truly become a God, just like Veronica-sama with her Hades Job and her Divine Evolution!" said Lilith, referring to Veronica's new Job Hades, which could be said to be a 'God Job' alongside her new race, which included the 'Divine' word on it.
"Well…" muttered Ervas.
"Mana God, huh? Well, the amount of Mana he has truly does makes him some kind of God," said Anna.
"I…" muttered Ervas.
"Way to go, my lord!" said Goliath.
"Draaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" said Draconia.
"Guooooooonnn…!" said Knochen.
"Hm…" muttered Ervas.
"Sigh… Could you guys let Ervas talk? I mean, it is nice to shower him in praises, he is a precious boy that deserves everything after all, but let us hear him out, alright?" said Veronica.
"O-Oh we apologize…" said everyone.
"Thanks, Veronica," said Ervas with a mild smile.
"Ahem. Well, the thing is, when I acquired the Mana God Job, my soul developed further, as if it evolved, similarly to how Veronica's soul evolve. And when it evolved, my consciousness seemingly entered my soul, and I was able to see through it and the void within it," said Ervas.
"The void of your soul…? Oh, the place where all that Mana comes from?" asked Anna.
"Indeed," said Ervas.
"I am still a bit concerned that you have such a thing, my son…" said Jason.
"Don't worry, dad. The Void of my Soul is part of my strength and also of my Soul, it is not an external influence that it is trying to eat my soul, but a part of it," said Ervas.
"I-I see… But even then… Anyways, please continue," said Jason.
"Thanks. Well, when my consciousness dived inside of my Soul, I decided to take a peek of my Void, I usually do not have that much liberty unless I am summoning a new alien, but now that I could, I approached and glanced at the vast universe that it connected me with… And well… there it was…" said Ervas.
"Hm? What?" asked Veronica.
"…Earth," said Ervas.
"Earth?! You were able to see Earth through your Void, Ervas?!" asked Kireina… she had tried a few times to travel through the Spatial Layers outside of Genesis, but the only time it was possible for her was when she was summoned by Ervas. One of her greatest desires was to go back to her Earth and met her parents once more.
"Yes… Although I am not sure if it was our Earth, or yours… or perhaps, a completely different one. The thing is, my Void, the portal that my soul generates to this strange plane or universe, led me to Earth, which was rather near my void… It was very strange, and almost it felt as if fate was guiding me…" said Ervas.
"And how it was? Were you able to go inside of the planet?" asked Veronica.
"Sadly no, even with all my senses and Appraisal, I was only able to see much aside from the continents… The odd thing wasn't this though…" said Ervas.
"Odd… thing?" asked Kireina.
"The odd thing was when I spectated as enormous waves of darkness and chaos constantly showering this Earth… It was a sight to behold, a strange one at that…" said Ervas.
"Waves of… CHAOS?!" asked Veronica.
"Chaos… This…" muttered Kireina.
"But from where could that Chaos come from?" asked Daniel.
"I don't know, it seemingly came out of just space… When I appraised it, it said that it was something named 'Miasma'… And if we judge this by… the Miasma in this world…" muttered Ervas.
"Planet Earth is in danger?" asked Veronica.
"If the Miasma of that Chaos is truly showering Earth… then it is a matter of time before the entire world enters an Apocalypse and begins to enter in complete chaos… Most likely, dungeons could even begin to pop up out of nowhere, animals and plants would become monsters, and people… would most likely die or become monsters as well… Although maybe they would develop something to fight off this menace, I am not really fond of them…" said Kireina.
"We have to do something! Ervas, can we go there?" asked Veronica.
"No, it is impossible for me to access my Soul Void now, as it seems that whenever I check my soul, it still a bit tight… I do not know what kind of technique I used… And even then, the Void of my soul seems to be sealed by some kind of transparent wall, which I cannot access easily… We are hopeless in this situation," said Ervas.
"Damn it…!" said Veronica.
"No, I am sure that we should be able to get through it. Ervas, alongside your Samsara System and your Lineage, you had most likely created some kind of synergy between all of them, perhaps you are the key to finally travel through worlds. And perhaps through your Soul Void, we might be able to go to that Earth at some point. Thing is, you must first grow stronger, you have to develop your soul!" said Kireina.
"Well, we also have all these tasks in this Kritias, we gotta fight those humans coming here, then we'll dart back to the Demon Continent through the seas, and there, we will have to establish our Kingdom while negotiating with the ones that surround us, all of that while also seeking the Dark Gods so we can speak with them and plan things around… So we got a lot of things to do before we get there, I am sure that in that time, Ervas and I will develop further," said Veronica.
"I am sure of that as well," said Anna.
"Hm, let us look for the things we can do now," said Ismene.
"For now, let's pray for your original worlds to be safe, and to resist as much as they can before we can go there and do whatever we can to help them," said Jason.
"Hm, I also have to develop my abilities further, I have many things that could help you as well, so I am on it too," said Kireina.
"We will get there eventually!" said Gaia.
"That's right," said Shade.
"Even if it might not our original Earth, I can't let a world similar to our original one simply be destroyed by this strange wave of chaos… I will follow my lords, and help as much as I can… Even though I still remarkably weak…" said Daniel.
"Hm, count me on, I can help your peeps level up quickly in my Dungeon, after all, it is my domain, and I can even send them through something similar to Teleport there. I can even manipulate the monsters there, so you can slay them with ease, I am sure that if you kill a few dozen Rank 9 or 10 Earth Dragons, those that have to catch up will be able to level up quickly," said Araba.
"Then we go grind! We have to get strong enough so we can crush those humans and be done with them!" said Veronica.
"Thanks, Araba-sama, my colony feels happy of being given such opportunities to grow stronger, we shall take them all while we can!" said Daniel.
"I guess everyone got happy at the end! Though, Ervas, Veronica, I need you to come with me for a few minutes…" said Kireina with a mischievous smile.
"Eh? For what?" asked Ervas.
"It's something that you will love~!" said Kireina.
"Kireina-san… I don't want to be rude or anything but… Don't dare touch my son!" said Jason.
"…That's not my intention… I just wanted them to eat my soul so they can get strong," said Kireina, sighing as she confessed her intentions.
"Eating… your soul?!" asked Veronica.
"Hm… That sounds interesting… But wouldn't you die?" asked Ervas.
"Not exactly, as long as I cut the pieces down, I can regenerate them through my Uroboros… Although I might end up using millions of Mana for it, maybe you guys can supply me with it… Oh right, I will also need tons of food, meat preferably, so bring me all the dragons and wyverns you kill in the Dungeon!" said Kireina.
What kind of powers will Ervas and Veronica acquire by eating Kireina's Soul Fragments?
Although they did not want to admit it, they were looking forward to it, as her powers seemed incredibly varied and unique, if eating her soul fragments could bring them a faster progression and more power, they were willing to do it, even if it sounded quite strange.
"Hehe, don't worry! I always fed my children with my nutritious soul fragments, they always loved it!" said Kireina with a motherly smile.
"You fed… your children with your soul?!" asked Jason.
"T-That's a whole other level of mothership…" said Ismene.
"Indeed…" said Anna.
"Daddy, can I eat your soul?" asked Pekorina to Pekoran.
"A-Ah?! N-No… I don't think you can eat souls, Pekorina-chan," said Pekoran.
