Chapter 550: Meeting

-----

Veronica and Ervas explained everything they had to explain to Eustace and the other surviving Heroes.

They told them they were Anastacia, that Bestellen had tried to destroy their souls but only sliced it and both reincarnated in a mirror version of Kritias. After that, they gave a brief resume of how they grew stronger, up to this point.

This also included how they killed Hekaton and stole his powers, and used them to fight against the Super Bestellen of this Kritias, where they defeated it and also consumed it, acquiring all of his powers.

Of course, it was such a crazy story but… it made sense in the end, their power was beyond mere demon gods at this point, and the memories they held of the previous life as Veronica in Earth also matched…

Eustace was surprised that Veronica, the one that no one ever expected to become such an entity was the one that ended saving the world… She ended being the one that actually defeated the main villains and also… she ended killing Liam and all those he had tamed.

"Sorry about that, but he was interfering and quite evil, and we needed the little boost he gave to us. Their souls should be recovering now. Later, we might revive them," said Ervas.

"I-I see… I am also happy that Daniel is fine… I… Veronica I…" muttered Eustace, as he seemed sorrowful.

The split souls glanced at his aquamarine eye and scanned his emotions and soul… he was being honest with his grief and sorrow, he seemed to be fully regret everything he did…

The two sighed together, as they suddenly fused as one, surprising everyone.

"Fusion!" said the little Jonatan, pointing at the fused split souls.

"Y-You can even fuse together… I see… I guess it does make sense, seeing how you are two halves of the same being…" sighed Eustace.

"So surprising… You two have really become like Gods… I never expected that the shy… Veronica would end up helping us all so much… Thank you…" said Cecilia, she was also a reincarnated soul. Veronica and Ervas remembered her as a gentle and motherly coworker, she never spoke badly of others and was often seen as a pure woman. So they didn't particularly felt anything for her.

"It is fine, Eustace, Cecilia… You don't have to apologize," sighed the fusion, her appearance resembling Anastacia a bit.

She petted Eustace and Cecilia's shoulders with her four hands for a bit, while smiling.

Afterward, the fusion's presence became immense and divine, surprising everyone.

She glanced at the little Jonatan, whose aquamarine eyes sparkled by seeing her beauty and splendor.

"Such a beautiful child… Make sure to take good care of him," they said, kissing Jonatan's forehead as the little boy suddenly received a little amount of power in the form of a Divine Protection, his entire body glowing with a bright rainbow aura.

"Uwah! I am sparkling! Look, papa, mama!" said Jonatan, raising his little hands and trying to touch the light flowing from his body.

"What did… you do?" asked Cecilia.

"We gave him a little gift, don't mind it, as it only will bring him a fortune and good things," they said.

"I-I see… Thanks again," said Cecilia.

"So… the world is in peace and Bestellen is not here… Hekaton is also dead… And you're replacing him?" asked Eustace.

"More or less. Yet… he had a big family, so in the end, we might end up fighting more than we wanted… And then there's the whole thing with the other Kritias, where many shadows are still lurking…" said the fusion

Eustace seemed surprised by this, as he was about to tell them that he wanted to help, but was stopped.

"Save your words, we don't want you to help us," they said.

"Eh? Ah…"

"For now, all of you should stay here and fend for yourselves," they said.

All the people had conflicted expressions, although some wanted to ask them to help them, as they were particularly struggling to get by in this post-apocalyptic world… And when they got to know how strong the split souls were, they thought they would aid them somehow.

"Eh?"

"But…"

"Why?"

"It is rather simple. We don't want to help you because this will be your trial. It is hard to bring myself to forgive you for what you did even after being regretful and honest about it… I would only feel better if I killed all the reincarnated people… But that, I can't do. So, what I will do is give you a trial, of the struggle for survival in this world…" said the fusion.

The split souls had omitted the part where this Kritias had become part of their Divine Realms, of course.

Everyone fell silent, some people found this rather unfair as they were not the reincarnated people that they blamed them at…

"Do you see any Demon or Beast-kin here?" asked the fusions.

No… no one saw any of them, there were only humans.

"All of them had been exterminated. I have managed to save their souls, but what did Bestellen and what you did to these people cannot be easily forgotten. Eustace, take care of these people and prove to me that you're a real hero," said the fusion, glancing at Eustace's aquamarine eyes with their four crimson-red eyes…

Eustace swallowed saliva as he stood up and bowed down.

"I will! Leave it to me, Veronica!"

The split souls sighed, he was really like a cliché Hero… but deep inside, he was also a pure-hearted man. He was a good man… But due to that, he was played by many and manipulated.

They waved their hands as a sudden pile of seeds emerged into the palm of their hands, as they gave it to Eustace.

"Seeds…?" he asked.

"I see that you're struggling to make plants grow… This is our first and the only gift to you all, make sure to plant them quickly," said the fusion.

"Ah… Y-Yes… Thank you," said Eustace.

"Now, we shall leave. Someday we'll return. But for now, you are all by yourselves. Good luck," said the fusion, flying into the skies and disappearing within the clouds…

Eustace glanced at the seeds as his resolve seemed to have been enhanced…
