Reincarnated as a World

Ch.241 Birth of the Third?!



Ch.241 Birth of the Third?!

Eridel watched all of this from the moon and gave a nod of satisfaction. He relinquished the ‘grip’ he had on Luna’s senses and felt not only her Spirit Sense focus on him, but also watched the eyes of her avatar come ‘alive’ with consciousness.

“Good job, Luna.” He spoke with a benign smile. “So what do you think of your new Apostle?”

For a little while she remained silent, perhaps thinking about what had just occurred or readjusting her senses, but then all of a sudden, the most pristine silver coloured wings burst out of her back and spread out to their maximum length, showcasing a wingspan of 8 metres and the splendour of magic itself. They then began to slowly flap, disorderly at first, but smooth as a veteran soon enough and it was a heart-palpitating sight to see.

Eridel whistled in appreciation. The wings were quite impressive.

Eventually, the Moon seemingly had enough and folded her new wings against her back before looking at Eridel and replying to his question. “He’s quite good. But those eyes… Why are his eyes like that?” She asked with a face twisted in confusion.

“You’ll find out eventually.” Eridel chuckled. “Just know that you picked up quite the prize, one on par with and maybe even greater than your soon-to-be Sea Kaiser.”

Luna’s eyebrows rose, something akin to a gasp on a regular person. “I see.”

Eridel laughed once more outwardly, but as usual, on the inside he was thinking about multiple things at once.

Some were useless and casual observations like the fact that an Anomaly’s avatar which was essentially made of inorganic matter were actually capable of feeling arousal, and other things like his inability to read an Anomaly’s mind, both of which he had predicted or known before but still interested him when confronted with the reality, but there were deeper thoughts like how he planned to slightly suppress the Moon and her influence in order to prevent her unfairly obtaining dominion over the world.

It would have been fine if she fought her way to her position because whatever she gained would have been deserved, but as it stands, not only was she doing things revoltingly easily because of the lack of competition, inevitably suppressing everyone else, but she was also provoking Fate.

Albeit not enough for anything too dangerous to happen since she was doing things completely within her own ability and not with Fortune, but enough that her first Tribulation might go up a grade because of all the lives she had control of.

Another thing, or rather, the thing that he had at the forefront of his mind, was the foreboding feeling he was sensing concerning his Soul. Something was about to happen to his Soul and it wasn’t a rise in cultivation. At first, he was worried, because the Soul was the most delicate thing about his existence and if it was harmed he was in trouble, but soon enough (which was to say less than a split second) he realised the feeling was familiar.

And as soon as he realised that it must have been something he experienced before, it didn’t take much for his powerful mind to comb over his memories with terrifying efficiency. And a nano-second later, he found himself having to not only suppress his true planetary body from physically reacting, but having to keep his avatar from phasing out as well.

As Eridel acclimated to his new life more and more, the amount of things that could make him react like that were steeply decreasing. The days where something shocking could cause his entire body, aka the planet, to start shaking, were thoroughly over. But he had nearly done just that.

‘This…’ The amount of thoughts circulating Eridel’s mind directly multiplied, but 90% of them were focusing on a single topic. After all, if this feeling was to be trusted and meant what he thought it meant…

He… would soon be witnessing the birth of his 3rd Soulmate.

Eridel’s avatar stood dazed, almost as if he suddenly lacked a Soul. Luna blinked in confusion at the sight but ultimately decided not to say anything. She still didn’t like the strange man and would prefer that he left as soon as possible, asking him questions would only extend the duration of their conversation and that was the last thing she wanted. Thus, an awkward silence was created.

Eventually Eridel’s avatar also ‘rebooted’ and he immediately gave a smile. “Ah, I spaced out! My apologies, there are just a lot of things going through my mind right now. Something important caught my attention.”

“...Take your time.” Luna simply replied. For whatever reason, the strange man was acting polite, irrespective of his power, and was even apologising to her. But… for some reason, not only did his demeanour not appear weak at all - exuding an almost palpable confidence that dared her to try him - she felt like if she were to take the slightest advantage of his apparent kindness, she would not live to see the planet finish its next rotation.

She was a little afraid, she could admit that now, but she refused to let him detect it. She had witnessed many lifeforms become more aggressive when they detected fear and it almost always resulted in a pitiful situation. She wouldn’t allow that to occur here.

“Whilst I’d like to stay longer, there is something I must do. So I’ll just give you a few instructions before taking my leave. I assume you have no problem with this?” Eridel asked.

‘At last!’ Luna felt joy course through her along with relief, but still, her face was emotionless as ever.

“I have no problem.” She responded out loud.

“Good~”
