章節 585: Chapter 579: Fragments of the Requiem
"Welcome to Ratatoskr. This is our ship, Fraxinus..."
"Thank you. My name is Yuki Uchiha. It's a pleasure to be here. I'm sure we'll get along well..."
After discussing a few rules, Yuki officially joined Ratatoskr, or rather, an alliance was formed between a spirit and Ratatoskr. The rules for this alliance were not too strict. For example, Yuki was forbidden from killing humans. However, he could defend himself if necessary, so unless humans attacked first, Yuki would not strike back.
There were also some loopholes in the rules they established. For example, while Yuki was prohibited from killing humans, this didn't mean he couldn't destroy cities. Yuki already had his first target in mind. This rule only applied to Yuki, the strongest spirit, as Ratatoskr's analysis and data collected during the battle against Princess concluded that Yuki was the strongest spirit so far. Preventing him from using his powers against humanity was essential. Yuki was a ticking time bomb capable of destroying entire countries, so they had to limit him somewhat. However, Kurumi could still kill, and he could incapacitate humans who managed to annoy him; that wasn't an issue...
"Hm?"
"What's wrong?"
After Kotori introduced Yuki to the entire Fraxinus crew, he frowned slightly. There was a strange presence that bothered him, but it was so minuscule that it disappeared the moment he tried to detect it. Moreover, this presence felt so familiar and pleasant, which puzzled him...
"Nothing..."
Since he couldn't locate the source, Yuki, who had other things to do, stopped worrying about it.
"Then, let's proceed..."
"Alright..."
Without further delay, Yuki's shadow expanded, and Kotori sucked on her lollipop to welcome these spirits.
"Ara? Everything is ready, Danna-sama..."
Emerging from the shadows, Kurumi presented herself elegantly. Kotori and the others from Fraxinus frowned upon seeing her. Nightmare, the malevolent spirit, someone who had killed over 10,000 humans.
In the past, Kurumi would have had to pay for her crimes and be imprisoned within Ratatoskr. But with Yuki now, it was different. Kurumi's crimes would be forgiven as long as Yuki kept his word and followed the rule of not killing humans.
Besides Kurumi, another girl emerged from Yuki's shadow; it was Princess, still in a coma...
"Let's take her to the infirmary..."
Yuki had already informed them about Princess's condition, so Kotori wasn't surprised to see her in that state. They needed to study her and verify that she had no injuries. Yuki assisted, carrying Princess directly to the infirmary.
He also cared about the results. He wanted to know exactly what was happening with Princess and why Kurumi, she, and he were connected. He wanted to check the level of Reiryoku Wave.
"She's stable, no injuries present..."
Half an hour later, Reine had the test results, as well as the analysis of her body and Sephira crystal.
Yuki reviewed the data and frowned...
"Ara, ara, they are identical, Danna-sama..."
The Reiryoku waves were identical to his and Kurumi's. He also reviewed Kotori's waves, and they were all the same, as if they were part of something larger. They were oscillating at a frequency impossible to miss at first glance. So, what's with the First Spirit? Would it be the same?
Among the spirits, there shouldn't be a problem since they all came from the First Spirit. But Yuki was different; he had these powers because Artemis granted them to him...
There shouldn't be a connection, but...
(What if Artemis didn't give me these powers? What if it was all just a facade?)
The more Yuki thought about it, the more his head hurt. Until now, he had never doubted his reincarnation by Artemis since he was happy to have another chance to live.
But because of the spirits, he couldn't help but wonder if everything about receiving powers and reincarnation was just a facade by Artemis. It seemed that Zafkiel, Sandalphon, and the other angels were fragments of the Requiem, the weapon of the Void Hero.
According to his hypothesis, the Void Hero lost much in that world-ending war. The Requiem and a part of the Void Hero's soul shattered in the battle against the Lord of the Abyss. The Requiem was destroyed, with some fragments scattered.
Perhaps Artemis had one of these fragments and gave it to him. That's why he had Zafkiel and Rasiel. Maybe even his Uchiha clan genes were part of this.
It was too much of a coincidence to reincarnate in the Shinobi world now that he thought about it. Maybe all of this was within someone else's expectations. Maybe someone else was watching.
But why go to all this trouble and not just say it?
What was Artemis hiding from him? Why did she do that? What was her goal? Was he really the Void Hero?
Just thinking that he was being unconsciously controlled made him furious. Yuki was not someone else's puppet. He was himself, and no one could tell him how to live, but he needed answers.
"Ack!"
"Danna-sama?!"
The headache was terrible. As the years passed, he remembered less and less of his previous life. Even now, he didn't remember why he started playing that crappy game or the game's story. Everything was as confusing as fog.
(I need to find Artemis... She must know...)
This Goddess would definitely answer all his questions and also whether she was the one manipulating him...
Unfortunately, he didn't know where she was. The multiverse is enormous, and it could take years, even millennia, to traverse the entire multiverse. Artemis could be anywhere.
Yuki was right; someone had definitely intervened in his reincarnation. Moreover, Artemis had also lied. Champions are the highest beings in the food chain. It's impossible for a God to bless or grant them powers. They are pure Order and stronger than a God. They don't need a God's help to reincarnate. They can also reconstruct a body without needing to reincarnate, and they can remain in a soul state without any problem. Their very existence was not an issue. Therefore, the content of the roulette and his reincarnation was just a facade, a lie that Artemis created for him.
Everything was perfectly planned. This is also one of the reasons why Artemis hides from him and doesn't want to see him. She couldn't bear to look him in the eye knowing she lied.
And she wasn't the only one who lied to him. Other people were involved.
"Danna-sama, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, dear."
Kurumi, beside him, was worried and asked. After all, Yuki was pale. His migraine was very strong, and he felt like his soul was breaking just by trying to remember. Even so, he reassured his girlfriend with a kiss and a hug, which also helped ease his headache a bit. He wanted to rest with his wife...
"Tsk!"
Kotori, watching them, clicked her tongue in annoyance and bit her lollipop. Seeing other people's love is poison for the singles, so she didn't hesitate to turn around and leave...
"..."
Reine, on the other hand, didn't speak but contemplated the scene before her, and a small flashback passed before her eyes...
"Hm..."
Unfortunately for the couple, their time together was interrupted by a low groan. Princess was regaining consciousness, and Yuki and Kurumi separated...
Princess slowly opened her eyelids. Although her body was in perfect condition, the aftermath of the previous battle was still etched in her bones, so she couldn't help but moan a little.
"Hm..."
And the moment her vision cleared, Princess couldn't help but shudder and jump in shock...
"You! You!... Don't eat me!"
That's right, Yuki's face was impossible for her to forget, not to mention that strange feeling of pleasure and, of course, fear...
Fear of disappearing and being devoured. Princess, who was about to seal the deal in that battle, shuddered just thinking about it, and her Sephira crystal unconsciously began to emit Reiryoku waves as if inviting Yuki to commit a crime.
