Chapter 443: 443
Creating a soul that could be written upon! This was beyond blasphemy, as this was directly telling the creator to piss off, as you could do its job better than they could .
However, Roma did nothing wrong . This was an ability stemming from the Mystic Arts that she had developed naturally . Nevertheless, on its own, this ability was pretty useless .
She mostly used it in conjunction with either Necromancy, Concoctions, or dangerous brews . Just like Hikari's ability to create small lives that lacked spirits and souls was not too heaven-shaking, while Eva's ability to create almost perfect spirits was shocking due to the effect, but heavily limited .
With the combination of these three abilities, they could bring a new life into the world… artificially .
It was like having bleach or ammonia . Separately, these two items were harmless and actually quite common, the latter even being present in urine . However, when mixed together, the end product would be a gas that had been used in chemical warfare and got banned in many states for its devastating effect .
Zaine spoke up here, before they would attempt something that would breach the heaviest taboo and force either the system or its 'mods' to act . "No need to talk about this more . Hikari can only create tiny lives at the moment and Eva still doesn't understand the limits of her Mind Control . As for Roma, you still have much more to research on souls, so such a thing might not be possible at all anyway . "
Eva agreed immediately . "You're right . This event occurred totally by accident and I don't think I can replicate it . Roma, can you even infuse the souls you summon into living things?"
Roma shook her head . "I've never tried it . It should frankly almost be impossible in the first place, since souls with blank slates are supposed to come into existence with the lifeform . They cannot be put in separately like parts of a device . "
Hikari sighed and let go of the kitten she had created . It mewed in confusion and pattered away, following the basest of instincts that came with its creation . It was not enough to grant it full awareness, but sufficient to fool an onlooker at first glance .
Eva turned to Hikari . "You know what to do . "
The White Dragoness nodded . She transformed into her full Dragon form, something she hadn't done in months, so she cried out in joy . With a wide smile, Hikari unfurled her wings and took to the sky .
Roma and Zaine looked on in wonderment while Eva had a sympathetic expression . She lamented that Hikari had to hide her true form due to concerns from the massacre and desire for Dragons, but they were not within the scope of the known True Gods .
Shinoka was just the best place for Eva to be in the entire universe, even considering earth's universe too . Here, she was untouchable and inviolable in many ways, so she couldn't allow too much harm to come to it in case she ever needed to return .
Hikari reached the cloud and trilled elegantly, a tone of excitement and valor in her cry . Worldly Energy in volumes so mind-numbing were pulled around by her with ease, as manipulating it in her true form yielded 50 times the result compared to her reduced human form .
It was actually a real waste to keep Hikari in human form, but it had been necessary in the mapped zones . Here though, not so much . It was just that Hikari would not be able to follow Luxia's speed in her true form, so she had to remain human often in case they needed to move .
Since she was in the sky, the tornado that the movement of energy caused did not affect the ladies on the ground much, but they still felt the aftershocks . That alone told them that what Hikari was doing was extremely grand, but dangerous to any living thing around her .
Soon, the energy pulled subsided as Hikari spat out a white beam that covered the entire capital of the Storm Empire . This light broke into pieces and entered the bodies of all the dead and mentally infirm, coating their bodies in a white glow .
White Light Resurrection!
White Light Healing!
The resurrection was used on those who had died, while the healing was used on those whose minds had been destroyed . Both parties found life and awareness return to them as their mangled/splayed bodies rose to its feet .
They looked around with confusion . Many of those who had become mentally infirm found themselves with great chunks of their memories missing, especially after the compulsion had evolved into a hivemind .
Those who had died only had memories up to that point too, and most only remembered up until they got killed . Yet, they were now alive and hale like nothing had ever happened?
Had it been a dream?
The citizens were sure it wasn't . For one, there was the stench of blood and the remains of sprayed flesh everywhere . Buildings were ruined and the capital city was a giant mess .
Their bodies were back in perfect condition, yet many had been reconstructed from scratch with what had been left behind as a template . Not everyone had died with whole corpses, many torn into flecks of meat that still existed by the roads . However, nobody would complain, especially those who had lost a limb or had suffered from ailments for many years prior to the event .
The running pools of blood made many puke, but they were still curious about their current situation more than the apocalyptic environment they saw . Many traced the source of the wondrous energy still lingering in their bodies to a huge entity in the sky .
It was a beautiful white dragon that reflected the sun's light marvelously with her cream-colored scales . She was majestic and a wonder to look at, many feeling their soul cleaned just by the sight of her .
Hikari was too in the zone to notice this . Casting such a huge resurrection spell didn't take a toll on her in the traditional manner . She wasn't tired or weakened by this act, but was really just very high .
