Reincarnated as a World

As Gaia gave a brief prayer, she couldn’t help but think of the gods she was praying to and the World that they originated from; Planet Sigothia.

 

Ever since she had become an Immortal she had stopped praying. Although her respect for the gods remained, it was just so awkward to pray so devoted to someone on her level so she decided to stop completely.

 

Naturally, the gods weren’t affected by the loss, such a thing was a pittance. They were more interested in allying with the new Immortal who, like the others, had the ability to leave the World any time they wanted and gather otherworldly treasures.

 

The mutually beneficial alliance between gods and Immortals was a practice that occurred in many Worlds and the Sigothia World wasn’t any different.

 

When Gaia finished her prayer, a formless and invisible energy departed from her body and shot into the distance.

 

‘I wonder if they can receive my faith all the way from here.‘ Gaia thought as she stared up at the Tribulation Cloud that pulsed for the 3rd time.

 

Although Gaia couldn’t feel or see the peculiar energy since she was a Mortal now, she knew exactly what would happen when she had decided to pray.

 

In truth, she was one of the few individuals that knew that gods actually got stronger the more faith they gathered and knew they could feel it when-

 

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

 

W-when you prayed to them…

 

Some of the more powerful gods had the ability to retain their loftiness when immortals ascended and employed such individuals to act as their Apostles in foreign Worlds, gathering faith for their god who continued to grow stronger and stronger.

 

It was a joyous occasion for a god when they started gaining faith from a new World because it generally meant that their power plateau was going to experience a big jump.

 

…

 

But how could Eridel allow such a thing?

 

Eridel sent out his Primordial Essence outside the planet’s atmosphere where it gathered around the formless energy created from Gaia’s prayer. With a single thought, the energy was dissipated and forever unable to complete its journey.

 

Eridel couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed.

 

Ever since the Creation Dragon had woken he had witnessed each and every peculiarity it performed. It didn’t take much for him to guess her true identity as a reincarnator and even an ex-immortal at that, and it made him a little wary.

 

Now, there were 2 people on his planet whose thoughts and intentions he couldn’t read like a book.

 

Gaia… and The Abomination Of The North.

 

Actually, he couldn’t read the thoughts of the other regular shmegular Abominations either but it was clear as day that they were insane and only had destruction on their minds.

 

The Abomination Of The North was very much sane and very much capable of scheming whatever it wanted.

 

How many brains that were functional and sometimes powerful did it assimilate into itself? The Abomination was not normal at all! It was to the point that it had become one of the most intelligent residents on the Planet. And on top of that, it did not have the side-effect of a multiple personality disorder that its powers might have implied. It was truly a bizarre existence.

 

But Eridel’s inability to read their thoughts was not what was causing him agitation at all. In fact it actually pleased him that there were at least 2 people on his planet that he could have honest conversations with.

 

What WAS disturbing him was the early introduction of Faith Energy, the energy that Gaia had created when she had prayed to her gods.

 

For obvious reasons, Eridel didn’t want to be discovered by outside forces.

 

His World was too young and his residents too weak. Although his Planet could be considered a strong Mid World, it was nothing in comparison to what would arrive if that piece of Faith Energy arrived at its destination.

 

Any World that could provide the Magic Energy needed for a resident to rise to Immortality was without a doubt a Law World. So you could imagine the situation.

 

Eridel was very aware of the calamity that had just flown over his head and it was for this reason that he was peeved.

 

The only reason that Gaia’s head was still attached to the rest of her body was because…

 

Eridel had plans… Again. He always had plans! But these plans were without a doubt the most dangerous ones he had ever dared to formulate. Plans that could end up with him losing everything. Or… they could end up with him taking possession over an entire Law World. 

 

But as he always liked to say:

 

‘With great peril comes great gifts. Hahahaha~’

 

…

 

Gaia was currently looking at the wretched body of the Crystal Dragon with sympathy.

 

His entire body was charred black with thick smoke billowing into the air. It was as if he had slept a whole 24 hours on a bonfire. But in reality, it had taken a whole 3 strikes from that strange cloud and with each of them being more terrifying than the last.

 

It was only after the 3rd strike did the cloud disappear but Gaia wasn’t sure if he would survive whether a 4th one came or not.

 

She had already realised that the talented Dragon was probably one of her brothers and it caused her heartache to see such a scene.

 

Her entire family was massacred in her previous life when she was still a Mortal and it always jabbed at her soul. In her next life, she had sworn that she would embrace and protect her new family but the situation was already like this. Who knew what they faced in the many years she was asleep?

 

The thought caused frustration to swell in her heart which only multiplied when she realised how out of control her emotions have been since she had awoken.

 

Ever since she had become an Immortal, the number of times her emotions had been swayed like this could be counted with one hand.

 

Very, very few things could affect her emotions but in just one day she seemed to come across a plethora of them.

 

‘How aggravating!’

 

Gaia roughly shook her head before forcefully quelling her emotions. She wanted to see if her brother was still alive and it was best to keep a calm mind, preparing for the worst.

 

‘I hope he’s okay… I don’t wan- Eh? Did his body just- EEEEEEEEH?!’
