Chapter 639 - Blaze and Lazuli Rebirth

When Lazuli finally managed to recover and get to know the outside world some more now, Blaze came flying towards us to meet her and after a few exchanges of words with my family, I was asked to give new physical bodies to both Lazuli and Blaze.

I had already planned this for a while anyway, and I had even gathered several materials that could be beneficial for their new physical bodies. After having experimented with a successful physical vessel creation in Hydros, I was sure that it would work with these two.

However, it was not as if Blaze need a physical body, as her race as it was, was a being of pure flames. She was a Fire Soul Djinn, a Living Deity being whose physical body lacked, she was a being completely made out of her soul, which had the same quality as Divine Fire.

Hephaestus used her as the fire of his furnace, but now that she was freed, she had begun to feel fatigued. This is because her race was supposed to only exist in places filled with fire and heated temperatures. If she were to roam freely around, she would not be able to sustain herself too much without having to constantly burn things. However, as I gave her a True Body Clone to use as a vessel, she became capable of staying without many issues.

And through our Soul Bond, I was able to also feed her with my own Soul Energy, so she was not feeling anymore fatigued nor down as before.

Although she still possessed her Divine Core, it was underdeveloped, and she preferred to stay in the outside world than escaping inside the small landscape of her Divine Realm, which was of the lowest quality due to her being a Rank 1 Living Deity.

Blaze did not particularly need a physical vessel because she was weakened or had her physical body taken away, she simply lacked it, to begin with as her race was one without it. I wonder if there were more races such as Blaze, but she seems to have been conceived very uniquely, as she was born as a Living Deity from her mother, a Fire Nymph, and her father, Hephaestus.

What I was thinking is in actually letting both of them be reborn within eggs… Yes, I know it will take them a few days to be born, but so what?

The special thing is, both of them would be put in the same egg. Yes, yes, I know I sound insane, but hear me out.

Through our soul bond, both of them are already soul bonded as well, so the plan is to let both grown in the same giant egg, so both of their divinities, souls, and qualities can be shared with the other, making them grow even stronger than they would originally be.

It was something I was already contemplating, but now it should be possible to do with what I have tested with Hydros. Also, because both girls seem to have a good relationship, I doubt they will have many problems there.

And as I finished having breakfast with my family and walked with both girls back to the Ritual Hall, I decided to share my idea with both of them.

"Ah… That's… An interesting offer, Kireina-sama…" muttered Lazuli while thinking about the idea. However, Blaze seemed to be interested.

"That is actually a genius idea, Kireina-sama! If we both are put in the same egg, we will get stronger? And we will not be alone either! We can even be twins, Lazuli-chan~! We can forget about our past… and be born anew as someone different, without the shackles of our former selves! A new beginning…!" said Blaze with a happy smile, her orange and crimson eyes blazing with fiery flames of passion.

Lazuli noticed her fiery eyes through her icy eyes, Blaze's intention seemed similar to hers. Since she had been in my soul that I have heard most of her thoughts, although I will not reveal this to her for obvious reasons.

Lazuli desires to become someone new as well, she is constantly reminded of her past through her weakness and failure as a being, and through her slumber, I have heard her murmur many times things such as 'I want to be reborn', 'I want to become someone new'… They were very innocent thoughts that got through my heart. Perhaps having children is really making me a softie.

"Someone… new? To be reborn… completely… A new life… a new identity as well?" asked Lazuli.

"Of course! We could even be renamed, although I've already taken in the name of Blaze, you might take in another one if you want!" said Blaze, whose former name was Palikoi. A name was given to her by her father, the one she hated the most, of course, she would be happy to call herself by another name instead of using the one given to her by the man that enclosed her in that Dream World for so many years as a tool for his crafting.

"I… My name comes from my beloved mother, so I would like to keep it… but to be born anew is also something I desire… As my body was sold as an item by my sister… and my divine core was also sold, I feel like I am just some kind of material for her wicked desires… If I can be born anew, would I feel any different?" asked Lazuli.

"I don't know about that, Lazuli, that depends on you, I cannot promise you something that I will not know its outcome…" I said.

"Hm…" muttered Lazuli, glancing at the floor.

"But I can assure you of something. You will become strong. I will make you strong enough, so you will never feel insecure about yourself again. And I will also make sure to help you out in finding those that did this to you," I said.

"Ah… Kireina-sama…!" said Lazuli, her expression seemed motivated.

"Don't get me wrong, Lazuli. I am not doing this simply out of goodwill. I am far from… a good person. But I am doing this because my daughters want the best for you, and also want you to be happy. And I am a woman of the family. If my daughters, the pure and innocent babies that I love more than anything say that you are worthy of my help, then I will help you, simply as that…" I said.

"Kireina-sama… Belle-san… Vudia-san… Ailine-san… and all of the adorable girls… You're doing this for their dreams?" asked Lazuli.

"Exactly. They are different from me. My daughters are pure and innocent beings, and I believe in their judgment, despite them being young and inexperienced. Those that are given help by the innocent and pure-hearted are worthy of my help as well. And through such mindset, I can see within your soul that you are indeed a pure-hearted person, so be reborn, Lazuli, and join my family, my daughters want you to be with them," I said.

"That's… Kireina-sama… I-I… How can I… be worthy of such words… I-I… T-Thank you… Thank you… I don't know… how to repay you for such kindness…!" cried Lazuli, as her tears quickly became small ice crystals as they fell into the floor.

Blaze kneeled at Lazuli's side as her warm hands petted her icy head, although she was made out of the fire, her fire did not melt her ice, nor the ice made the fire weaker.

"There, there, it's all fine, we are already part of the Empire of Kireina-sama! This is really a utopia for all the people that want to be truly free from this chaotic world, let's work and fight together for this freedom, and this happiness, okay?" said, Blaze.

"I… yes… I will!" said Lazuli.

"Good, that's all I needed, let's get started then," I said.

"Wait, that fast?!" asked Blaze.

"Indeed, get back to me, as this process will be made within the inside of my body," I said.

Blaze and Lazuli glanced at each other, as they grabbed their hands, Blaze's body merged back with mine, as both of their souls, while still grabbing each other hands spiraled inside of my own body, disappearing.

"Alright, let's get started," I said.

"That was quite the emotional display…" said Redgaria with a chuckle.

"Don't laugh at them, their feelings are something that I share as well, Redgaria," I said.

"Oh? Such as…?" asked Redgaria.

"Wanting to be someone new, someone else, and someone without the shackles of destiny. I want to be free from this world's laws and do as I please. Perhaps the dreams diverge a bit, but we share the same intentions, the same desires. Don't you agree? You are also a dreamer, despite your gloominess. Is not getting your sister back a dream as well? Fighting against the fate of the world, against your fate. Against a Great Goddess capable of obliterating us if she wanted… Fighting against impossible odds and desiring something still unreachable, that is a dream in my book, and we all have one, you want it or not" I said.

"…Sigh. Okay, okay, I get it! Anyways, here are your materials…!" said Redgaria while averting his gaze, for the first time ever I saw a slight blush on his pale face.

"That was very emotional… Sniff, sniff…" Uwah! Blaze and Lazuli have motivated me!" said Izumi.

"Indeed, the dreams of people are something wonderful! It is what strives us to move forward against adversities… the desire of the impossible, that is a dream! I agree with them and share the same dream! I want to fight, and to protect this place, my home, where my family is, and where my happiness resides!" said Herbell with his skull face cracking while his deep voice resonated across the hall, his eyes even released blue-colored flames of passion.

"Haah, you're an undead but you're such a softie, Herbell," said Redgaria.

"Geh…! D-Did I sound too weird?" asked Herbell.

"No, Herbell, I think the same, it is good to often express what you feel!" said Charlotte.

"I see! Charlotte-sama understands me!" said Herbell.

"I wouldn't have revived you if it wasn't for Zehe, but I've got to know you more since then, and I do admit that it was a good decision, skull face," I said.

"K-Kireina-sama… don't call me skull face…" muttered Herbell.

"But you have the face of a skull!" laughed Redgaria.

"Hahaha! I guess so!" laughed Herbell as he realized that he was a skeleton, he often forgot for some reason.

"Anyways, now that the mood has lightened a bit, I will grab all these tasty ingredients and… gulp them all down!" I said, extending my arms and forming enormous jaws that began to devour and gulp all the materials, there were also Divine Beasts materials, their souls encapsulated into crystal spheres, and many other materials fitting for Lazuli and Blaze.

My arms kept expanding and devouring everything, as I sat down in the magic circle… The other time I laid the eggs for Moonfang, Sunclaw, and Habitis, I did not use any magic circle. But now that I have settled a good one, the results should be even more outstanding…

I concentrated my mind as I closed my eyes, the magic circle began to glow as it enveloped me completely within the egg-shaped dome of magic.

Through browsing with my consciousness, I glanced at Lazuli and Blaze's souls that were taking the hand of each other.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Yes!" said Blaze.

"I am," said Lazuli.

I nodded as I extended my Soul as if it were a gigantic spectral claw, grabbing both girls as I moved them towards my body. I then began to activate several egg-producing skills, while infusing in them all the materials I ate and their properties, while also infusing my own concoctions of skills and spells. This time they were given almost the same amount of blood as for Hydro's new body, the blood of gods, I mean.

The egg slowly was produced, it had to be big enough for both girls to fit comfortably, the fetuses grew at a fast speed around their Divine Souls, as both of them were suddenly knocked out, falling into slumber.

I extended a proboscis from my stomach, which opened an enormous jaw filled with sticky slime, vomiting the enormous, almost one-meter-tall egg.

The egg fell over a giant Slime Clone I created, which cushioned the impact and let the egg lay carefully over itself.

"A success…!" I said, glancing at the egg, as the convergent Divine Souls of Blaze and Lazuli began to glow from within.

The thing that surprised me the most is that our souls were still bonded, meaning that the Skills that represented both girls remained within my Skill Sets, and should be capable of strengthening if I level them up… but how? I suppose that two classes might help me level them a bit, at least.

"Impressive, Kireina-sama!" said Herbell.

"That was fast!" said Izumi.

"Ooh, yet another godly egg has been laid! There are never enough children~" said Charlotte.

"That was a bit disgusting, but I am intrigued about the process…" said Redgaria.

"Anyways, we'll move this egg towards my room, so we can keep it safer," I said, walking out of the hall to show the egg to my family.

Within the egg, Lazuli and Blaze seemed comfortable, and I even noticed within the fetuses how they smiled for a moment, their Divine Souls danced with each other harmoniously.

Fire and Ice… quite the opposites, but they seem to be getting along very well, I am expecting great things from these girls.
