Chapter 392: The Mysterious Gods

-----

Frank had deposited the souls of his parent inside of a special sanctuary within his divine realm, it was named spring of soul healing, a place that had been naturally formed alongside many other divine materials, this spring counted as a Soul Attribute Divine Material, and held soul-healing properties.

He had left them rest there as they were put to sleep and relax. He wanted them to rest and not be conscious so they wouldn't lose more thoughts and they wouldn't fall into disparity again.

If they were left too much as souls, they would begin forgetting things and feel weakened at times, which wasn't something Frank wanted to occur anymore, which had happened when he had left them free before… He had grown concerned that they might develop Alzheimer's or even Dementia, so he decided to put them into a coma until their reincarnation…

It was a hard decision, but it had to be done.

He still remembered their last words before they were to go to sleep…

"Very well… I trust you, Frank…" said his mother.

"Make sure to take… care… of those you… love…" said his stepfather.

"Protect them… And also… be careful…" said her mother.

"We'll watch over you…" said his stepfather.

The two hugged him as Frank had begun to cry at that time. It was a painful decision to put them to sleep indefinitely until he could find a proper way to bring them back, in that time he was still unsure if he would find the artifacts or not after all…

But he did it.

He really… did it!

"It is finally time… I did it… See? Now… Go, when you finally wake up, you'll be finally back into your bodies…" said Frank, as he deposited both souls into their respective flasks…

All the materials quickly began to merge with a bright light of pure Life Attribute the moment he closed the flasks and activated the machine…

It was as if everything suddenly dissolved and became a mass of primordial life, only to slowly grow back into a body, which seemed to be floating in the middle of a special liquid.

"How long will it take?" wondered Gwendolyn.

"I don't really know… I am not sure. But perhaps… around a few weeks or even months," said Frank.

"That's a long time…" said Gwendolyn.

"If I wanted them right away… I could do it. But I just wanted to do it this way. I wanted them to be as strong as I could possibly make them… I won't let them die again…" said Frank, his eyes flaring with conviction.

"Frank…" Gwendolyn hugged Frank as the two saw the two bodies rest. Frank quickly created a large building around the flasks and decided to leave a Soul Clone here monitoring them 24/7.

"I hope they can wake up soon…" sighed Kamei.

"Let's hope… But I am sure that they will wake up one day," said Frank.

"Hm. I hope so too… We have to be stronger for them…" said Kamei.

"Indeed," said Frank.

Brother and sister decided to continue with their lives, as they patiently waited for the return of their beloved parents…

As they slowly began to reform their new bodies, Amelia and Okita seemed to be diving into a dream.

Since they were put into a coma that they had been dreaming mostly pleasant things or had been not dreaming but having a constant sleep.

Sometimes they would dream about their children, having small glimpses of them, mostly memories, drifting memories of when they were alive…

But now… it seemed oddly different.

In their previous dreams, they always felt dizzy, and everything seemed fuzzy. But now, they felt that their minds were clearer and sharper. And even their senses seemed back.

What was happening now? Where were they?

They realized they appeared in a strange landscape.

It was a place of beautiful and bountiful nature…

"Eh? What… Ah! Okita…!"

Amelia rushed towards her husband as she found him to be "solid".

"A-Amelia… How long have we been sleeping?" wondered Okita.

"I-I don't know…" she sighed.

Okita caressed her long and blonde hair, as he suddenly felt a presence watching over her.

The two slowly glanced in front of them… Finding something odd.

It was two figures. One resembled a young man with short white hair, crimson-red eyes, fluffy fox-like ears growing from above his head and a tail at his back, and a crown of majestic golden horns decorating his head, and the other was a beautiful woman with a vampiric charm to her beauty, with pale-white skin that seemed almost transparent, long, and wine-colored hair that reached below her hips, a slender figure, and sharp crimson-red eyes…

The two seemed a bit surprised and confused about these two people.

"W-Where are we?" wondered Amelia.

"Well… You two emerged inside of our converged souls… Welcome, I suppose," said the boy.

"Souls…? Who are you? W-where's Frank?" asked Okita.

"We are… well, we'll have to explain it a bit… Let's say… that we are the Transmigration Gods," said the woman.

"Transmigration Gods…" said Amelia.

"Yeah… Let's leave it at that for now," said the boy.

After some time of talking, Amelia and Okita learned that the name of these two entities was Veronica and Ervas and that they held some mystical and transcendental connection with one another as if they were perfect halves of one another, two splits of the same soul.

It seems that they had arrived inside their souls not as souls themselves, but as something named Spiritual Avatars, made of their consciousness and willpower, it was also connected to their souls, to an extent.

But why these two mysterious Gods they had never met before from all people?

It was a mystery. But it seemed to be something that fate had arranged…

"I see how it is… You're probably here for a reason, a purpose… So let's do it. Alright, time to train!" said Veronica.

"Train?" asked Amelia.

"We'll train you until you wake up, if your son wanted you to grow stronger, let's surprise him," said Ervas.

"But why… are you doing something so nice for complete strangers?" asked Okita.

"Well, it's not so hard to do, and we are but two minds of the thousands we have, so there's no problem," said Veronica.

"Yeah, we'll do it to just kill time, and we can learn more from you and your world in the meantime," said Ervas.

It seems that Amelia and Okita would be trained by two powerful Gods…
