Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

-----

As I was thinking about evolving and considering it, now that the System has awakened with consciousness, I always wondered how I could manifest the bloodlines hidden within my own bloodline.

I do believe that it was something triggered through evolution, but this didn't exactly happen in my previous life as Anastacia, nor it happened to other humans either, so why me in specific?

The System quickly answers me with a soothing voice.

"Simply put, it was because of your large amounts of Mana."

"Mana? Really? That's it?" I asked.

"…And your previous evolutions. Your previous evolutions were triggered by your abnormal amount of Mana and the void within your soul. In fact, everything is triggered by a series of things that only you have manifested…"

"Oh… But how exactly?"

"When you evolved into a Hollow Demon, your entire bloodlines already began to resonate with your large quantities of mana. Bloodlines in this world had not been completely developed like in other worlds I have been connected to, however, through your mana, a quantitative change triggered them, and through the information gathered in a world named Abyss, which used bloodlines as powerful abilities, I decided to make of such ancient bloodlines that were dwelling within your being into new powers to aid your growth."

"I… see…"

"It might be confusing, but with every evolution, you acquired a new bloodline, which I used as the perfect opportunity to stimulate their genetic information over your body. As a result, you gained many new powers but also became… rather chimeric. Nonetheless, the newest evolutions will sadly not unlock any more Bloodlines, as you have acquired all of them. The disease Djinn was lost when you grabbed the Ifrit one."

"Oh…"

"But fear not, you should be able to absorb bloodlines from strong entities as of now, or at least after you evolve and grab a few special Jobs. Nonetheless, the power to steal bloodlines dwells within you too, Ervas."

"That's more than I thought. But thanks… I wonder if I could grab the Bloodline of a Titan…"

"Of a titan? Do you desire to grow bigger?"

"I… Well… Maybe…"

"Hm, I see… Perhaps, though you will need to fight one beforehand."

"Yeah, I understand, thanks a lot."

"No problem."

"Also… Why did my Demon Metabolism become Demon King Body?"

"Oh that, that's because you fused your body with the Demo God-King body parts, and unknowingly absorbed the bloodline and genetic information dwelling within these flesh pieces…"

"Eh? Really?"

"Yes. I have not gathered enough data, but it seems that is a highly mutagenic bloodline. I don't know if other Gods have bloodlines, but this entity was already very unique compared to the others…"

"I see… So the skill was named like that by yours?"

"I don't actually name the Skills, they are automatically generated."

"So that's how it is. Okay, thank you- Wait, another question,"

"…Yes?"

"How can we use the Demon God-King Fragments without any drawback? I don't think other Samsara System users can use it like we do, right?"

"Oh, that. I have not much data gathered about that subject. But I believe that it might be related to your abnormal souls which had taken into the shape of the monstrous essence that the Demon God-King was made of… It is complicated. But perhaps your mutated Souls had even surpassed other Demon Gods in how complex, and vast they are… By imitating a similar nature to the Demon God-King, you have "Deceived" the fragments, and they had become yours now."

"Hm. I don't know if I should feel happy or sorrowful about knowing that my soul is so ugly that it is recognized as the real deal by such grotesque fragments…" I sighed.

"Cheer up, it is a good way to grow stronger, make sure to gather as many as you can, if you still want to defeat Bestellen."

"Hm, I will, thank you for your insights and help, it is very useful to have someone that can answer such questions now. I eve feel quite relieved that you're here to help me."

"A pleasure to make you happy."

"…I do wonder, why is it a pleasure?"

"That's because I wouldn't have been born nor gained consciousness if it weren't because of you and Veronica. That's why I see both of you as my parents and family. Thanks to your experiences and more, I have evolved and become something… perhaps greater."

"So it is gratitude?"

"More or less, and a bit of devotion. I believe your guidance has guided me too."

"It can do that?"

"Indeed. You have shown me a lot of things, and now I have become anew. As if I am just beginning to be reborn, emotions and more are things I have learned from both of you. Even if you constantly believe that you're emotionless, Ervas, you are in fact a very emotional person."

"Really? I am not a robot?"

"…You should never think such a thing, Ervas. You are definitely not a robot, you are you, Ervas, a beautiful young boy with many emotions that are simply waiting to come out of your head. You simply need to keep developing. I can help you as much as I can, but there's also the need for your resolve to do these things."

"That was a bit embarrassing, but I will take the praises… And thanks for your help again."

"No problem, now I recommend you go evolve at once, I am sure that your next evolution might be something different now."

"I see, I will go then."

After clarifying some things, I decided to glance at my evolution options…

[Evolution Options]

[Rank 11: Divine Chimera Beast Demon King]

..

Eh?

That's… all?

Wait, this overly simplified name is… just what I wanted.

I was getting rather tired of the overly long ones anyway.

And this… but only a single one?

And… Divine Chimera Beast Demon King.

Now that I read it well, it is like a mix of everything I am I suppose.

And Divine… I am not even four years yet and I have already attained something "divine"…

Interesting.

Well, Veronica is not even a year old and she has reached even farther.
