Chapter 244: Hades Steps In!
Chapter 244: Hades Steps In!
—–
A Transmigration Cycle was an incredibly complex construction of Divine Power and Divine Energy, generated by billions of Divine Runes, concentrated versions of Magic Runes which were made by quadrillions of them.
Only Gods who possessed a Divinity related to Souls were able to properly create one with ease, although expertise, knowledge, and experience in the field where needed.
Hekaton was an old God who had been creating Transmigration Cycles for eons since his creation by the grace of Samsara, his master and parent. His knowledge and expertise over Souls were tremendous, surpassing many other Gods who were of the Soul Attribute which once belonged to the World where Abraddon and the other Terra Gods originally came from.
The Transmigration Gods were an organization of Gods well recognized across all Worlds and Realms, even in completely independent worlds with their own transmigration cycles, these Gods would often be requested for help.
Although it was possible for any God with Divine Power to generate a Transmigration Cycle, without complete understanding and experience over the field, the transmigration cycle would more than be generated flawed and filled with many errors, being often cataloged as dangerous or useless in doing the tasks they were made for.
The transmigration cycle that Hekaton created was practically flawless, as long as there was not a large influx of souls being taken away from the cycle through the use of advanced necromancy by the employment of Death Attribute Magic, or in other worlds Phantom or Soul Magic.
However, Hekaton nor many of the other Transmigration Gods had never considered Necromancy into the equation because most of the worlds they governed were similar to Frank’s Earth, but without the hidden magic part, meaning that they were modern magic-less worlds that had no possible way to disrupt the transmigration cycle.
But as they began to expand across the cosmos, galaxies, and the universe, the Transmigration Gods grew stronger and their energy vaster, becoming greedy and conceited, to the point that they decided to help worlds made by Gods…
Sometimes they would go as far as telling the Gods of certain worlds with Death or Soul Attribute Gods to tell them to handle the work for them, who were experts on it, leaving such Gods without their original purpose, which only increased their bad reputation.
To replicate something flawless with four weakened Gods and a young demigod was… a challenge in the very sense of the word.
It was impossible, in fact.
However, this was not their aim, to begin with.
Even if provisional, they wanted to find a way to create a small yet stable Transmigration Cycle, at last, to keep those who will be born in the future with souls…
Even as of now, Terra was as big as Earth, and although it did not have such a big population of people like Earth, people were dying and being born every day all around the world, leaving the world without a transmigration cycle even for a single hour could be fatal for hundreds of lives, not only people but animals too.
This is why it was incredibly vital to make a new Transmigration Cycle, even if it were flawed and filled with errors, anything would do, they simply needed this small pillar to keep things going…
“We have to create
Transmigration Cycle ourselves… All six of us,” said Zudithe.
“Even us?” asked Abraddon.
“Of course, you two are Gods of Life, who are close to Soul Attribute, the understanding and knowledge of how to handle souls should be innate to you… And Thineas, when Frank healed you, he gave you Death Attribute Mana which you assimilated. Although you have not developed such powers enough, you are already a pseudo-death goddess, which is also good enough to help with the creation of the Transmigration Cycle,” said Judith.
“I-I see… I will do my best! Though… I have never done this…” said Thineas, feeling nervous.
Suddenly, Frank heard the voice of Hades within his soul.
“Frank, let me help, I used to handle Souls in my world, and I have way more experience than any of the Gods present, leave this to me!” he said.
“Hades… Alright,” said Frank to Hades through his mind.
“Everyone, remember the one that gave me Death Attribute Magic?” asked Frank.
“Hm? Who?” asked Abraddon.
“How can you forget that?! It was… Erm… The skull that he often talked about! What was the name?” asked Thineas.
“You two have a terrible memory. He’s talking about the God Soul Fragment he has fused with his soul. Hades, was it?” asked Zudithe.
“I never thought about that! Hades could help us!” said Judith.
“That’s right, I shall lend you a hand,” said the voice of a mature and wise man, as Frank let Hades materialize by using Phantasmal Boneyard and a part of his soul, appearing as a skeleton wearing heavy black armor, his empty black eyes were blazing with a phantasmal blue flame, and his entire presence exuded death and the freezing cold.
“Oh, we can see him now?!” asked Thineas.
“S-So you are Hades! Nice to meet you!” said Abraddon.
“Amazing, Frank has developed his soul and abilities enough to let Hades materialize outside of his own soul…” said Zudithe.
“Well, I am still within Frank’s soul, but it is more like I put my consciousness into this vessel he creates through magic temporarily,” said Hades rather nonchalantly.
“Eh? So this is the guy that talks inside of your head?” asked Axitl.
“That sounds bad… But yeah, he is the one that talks inside of my head. He’s actually quite silent,” said Frank.
“I like to nap a lot… B-But this is not the time to talk so casually! Let us make a Transmigration Cycle right away,” said Hades.
“Hades, do you know some way?” asked Judith.
“Of course. Although I have never crafted one myself, in my world, there was a Divine Realm named the Underworld, which was like a Divine Realm combined with a Transmigration Cycle. Through it, I let the souls of the fallen rest and clean themselves completely. Afterward, with the help of my allies, we would reincarnate them around the world,” said Hades.
“Oh, I see…” said Axitl.
“So you know the basics of how the transmigration part works… good. We will provide details and the fabrication of Divine Runes. Abraddon and Thineas will provide the Soul Connection and the Origin tracking of these souls. Lastly, Axitl will prove Divine Energy, and Frank will provide you with the powers to do what you need to do,” said Judith, quickly planning everything.
“I am quite in the blue on all of this, but since I healed souls for a while that I started to feel that something started to awaken within me, I think it was the inner understanding of how to guide souls. If we apply my Guidance into these souls, it could be easier to drag them into the Transmigration Cycle,” said Frank.
“Your guidance… you’re right, Frank! Your Guidance guides literally any dead, so all the souls around the world would flow towards you!” said Zudithe, feeling enlightened.
“But wouldn’t that overload Frank?!” asked Axitl.
“No, if we make it something gradual… it should work,” said Hades.
“Here, Hades. I guess it should be about time for you to become a bit more independent…” said Frank, grabbing the split soul he left here and then fusing it with the materialization of Hades!
“W-What…? Frank, you…” muttered Hades.
“It was about time to revive you,” said Frank.
