Chapter 68 - Human Saint
I took some skills from another fic and if you noticed it then hope the author won't mind. Too bad he dropped that fic since I took inspiration from it.
============
Erix could sense the flow of magicules and activated his [ Lord of Victor, Nike ], taken aback at the countless parallel possibilities and simply choose what outcome he desired. What he was doing was breaking the law of the reality that he was in and didn't care what the consequences were going to be.
He activated his skills, seemingly his entire body shrouded in darkness with many eyes looking into the endless parallel possibilities altering his future. Erix reminded of the Almighty from Bleach. He separated her soul from her body and took the two other souls then absorbed Ifrit using the Magicule to use as base in forming a skill for her. When their souls remain, they begin to form their bodies and evolve them into something higher.
[ The individual Shizu Izawa and Hina Izawa Human Saint ]
[ Hero's Egg Present ]
[ Analyzing individual Shizue Izawa's current Magicule limit to awaken hero's Egg with [ Scáthach ] ]
[ Magicule Limits insufficient to awaken Hero's Egg ]
[ Supplementing Magicule debt with Magicules from Magicule Battery ]
[ Successful ]
[ Due to Shizue Izawa wish, she had acquired [ Lord of Destruction Flame, Kagutsuchi ] and [ Lord of Hero Guider, Scathatch ] ]
[ Due to Hina Izawa wish, She had acquired [ Lord of Love, Eros ] and [ Lord of Motherhood, Ceres ] ]
Erix watched as their bodies had finally finished forming and made sure they had clothes on where they were standing and their entire vibe was completely different than a human. Previously Shizue Magicule was unstable and constantly fluctuating suppressing her potential but now everything was still like water and became Spiritual Lifeform. At the moment her EPs were around 1 million and can fight True Demon Lords if she wanted to.
He is shocked that he is able to defy the natural flow of evolution via his ability to rewrite it entirely. Erix can manifest his desire through his ultimate skills [ Lord of Desire, Cxaxukluth ] and [ Lord of Creation, Elohim ]. Erix was confident that he could defeat even Milim at her true form but unsure about her Stampede. Though, he won't die nor be defeated without taking her out.
Shizue's overall appearance did not change and was more voluptuous than before having grown in many areas almost appearing the same as her mother only except was their hair style and vibe. Her eyes twitched and slowly opened her eyes looking at her hands overjoyed that she was alive.
"Amazing! I feel so much stronger and I can't feel Ifrit at all!" She says as she turns her head and sees her mother standing beside her. Shizu shook and felt everything was a dream, never in her life would she expect to see her mother again even though she looked slightly different and still knew it was her mother. Erix doesn't know what she looks like therefore he had to guess what her face is like from Shizu.
Erix somewhat understood her feelings as he wanted to see his parents alive from the overlord verse but decided not to until the very end when he conquered a few worlds.
"Hmm? Shizu?" She said as she woke up and saw her daughter alive and all grown up.
"Mother!" Shizue yells as she embraces her mother tightly and begins to cry. She couldn't finally feel the warmth that she had longed for during her entire life.
"Mother. Mother! Mother! I missed you so much!" Shizue continues while Hina gently hugs and caresses Shizue.
"My dear Shizu. I never left you. Look at you now. You became so big and strong! I'm proud of you dear."
At that, Shizue begins wailing in happiness for several hours while hugging her mother closely and Erix remains quiet letting them have their moment. He leaned on the tree and reverted back to his concealed state while crossing his arms waiting for them to finish.
'Amaia, can you show me their skill?' Erix copied it without a problem making him even more insanely strong but the [ Lord of Destruction Flame, Kagutsuchi ] was redundant when he had [ God of Rebirth, Phoenix ].
[ Lord of Destruction Flame, Kagutsuchi ]
[ Destructive Flames]: Users can utterly destroy things. Depending on the user, this could be anything and everything from small objects to entire galaxies or universes and possibly even abstract concepts and/or natural forces/laws with their flames alone. Notably, users of this power still have limits. What those exact limits are will depend on the user.
Users at the highest echelons of this ability might be able to reach beyond space-time itself, thus wiping out and destroying all that exists.
[ Flames and heat absorption ]: They can consume flames to refresh and heal themselves. In Addition, they are also able to absorb heat and energy. ]
============
[ Lord of Hero Guider, Scathatch ]
[ Weapon mastery ]: Users have reached the pinnacle of armed fighting prowess. They know everything about fighting with a weapon and can surpass any and all masters of armed combat of any form, having complete knowledge of their wielded weapon whether they be unknown, nigh impossible to master, or forbidden, and can also create their own forms of armed combat to throw off their enemies.
[ Combat Mastery ]: Users have achieved the highest level of combat proficiency (armed and unarmed) and are capable of performing superhuman/supernatural feats far beyond normal boundaries. Masters of this ability have acquired a state of mental, physical, and spiritual balance, making them even capable of defeating enemies with their mere presence. The users with this ability are able to outfight other beings of their verse and usually doesn't require aid in any circumstance. They are completely unmatched by anyone who came before or who will come afterward, making them one of the most powerful opponents and a force to be reckoned with. They are so powerful that they can even face transcendent beings. They can win either in individual duels or against entire armies by any means.
[ Hero Guider ]: The User Grants the ability to plant a hero's egg into a human or demihuman. Training by the user can be used to gradually grow the hero's eggs of any potential heroes. Once the potential hero reaches Special A rank, they can 'hatch'. The user can manually hatch the hero's egg of any individual who has one after they reach a certain level of power. Heroes hatched in this way will gain Unique Skills, though never Ultimate Skills. Grants incredible teaching and instructional abilities, especially when used in combat. Those under the user's tutelage will learn subjects much quicker and learn skills at a faster rate.
[ Hero Path ]: The user is able to compel people to follow the path of heroism even if they don't become a hero could still become champions. Their deeds can burn within a person's heart and make them fight through the odds. They also break through their "Limit" where people often face a "Wall" and those under the user's path would surpass this limit and grow even further than before. ]
=============
[ Lord of Love, Eros ]
[ Lovers ]: Grants increased power to those the user takes as lovers.
[Soul Mate ]: Creates a Soul Corridor between the user
and their lover(s) that allow them to share skills,
magicules, and telepathically communicate with one
another over any distance. The user is connected, linked, and bonded with their soulmates, with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity all of which involves similarity, love, romance, platonic relationships, comfort, intimacy, sexuality, sexual activity, spirituality, compatibility and trust.
They know who their soulmate/s is/are, can empathize and harmonize with said soulmate/s, lack any struggle in expressing their feelings for them, and share many, if not some characteristics in common with them.
The user and their soulmate/s, by nature, are compassionate, caring, loving, and sympathetic toward one another, would get along quite well with each other, naturally share romantic and/or platonic feelings of love for one another, and are meant for each other as a couple, best of friends, and love the other with all their heart, all their soul, all their mind, and all their strength. ]
[ Amor ]: The user can control love. They can force two people to fall madly in love or make two people madly in love immediately lose interest in their partner. In exchange, the love the user feels for their lover is exceptionally passionate and lascivious.
[ Perfect Body ]: Grants the user heaven-defying beauty, enough to make entire kingdoms go to war over the opportunity to merely gaze upon their body once more.
[ Mind Domination ]: Grants the user complete control
over another person's mind so long as it is for the intention of making/changing love.
===========
[ Lord of Motherhood, Ceres ]
[ Nature Lordship ]: The user has Absolute power and control over Nature itself, all of its inhabitants and anything and everything that dwells within it. Domains of Nature such as the sky, land, sea, etc. are all under the user's control.
[ Mother's blessing ]: The user can bless anyone that they see as their family having connection with them and sense if they are in any danger or how they feel at that moment. Those with the blessing will have an accelerated growth and increase talent that rapidly increases their strength. They will have less chances of being in danger and would become stronger when they are with other family members.
[ Potential Unlock ]: Even how weak that individual is, they will have their potential unlocked and bring them higher. Their growth will not have any limit placed on them. ]
Erix was certainly amazed by the skill that Shizu had, fitting for someone who nurtures potential heroes like Chole O'bell and the other otherworlder children. He is reminded of Guider Jobs from Death Mage who doesn't want a fourth time that is able to help those around them grow faster and surpass their growth limits.
'Hina is a lot better as it can potentially make anyone insanely strong.' Erix thought to himself, seeing that her skills can accelerate the growth of a person without doing much besides accepting them as her family. She may not be good in combat but her [ Nature Lordship ] still makes her a powerhouse that shouldn't be underestimated. He glanced at them watching the two chat and wanted to see how much it helps the people grow when she's around.
"Dear, what do you plan from now on?" Her mother asked, having seen her daughter expected to die only to be saved by the man resting on the trees who waved and smiled at them. Hina can't deny that the young man was more charming than her former husband.
"I…I think we should stay here for the time being until we get a hold of our strength. My awakening would cause an uproar if we were to return now." Shizu and Hina were Human Saints therefore people would eventually find them and either kill or recruit them.
Even if they are strong doesn't mean they can keep on moving while protecting Themselves. Shizu wanted to head back and asked Erix to save the children but she didn't want to be shameless and needed to repay Erix for the time being which is why she wanted to stay.
"Is that so, wherever you are, I'll be by yourself like before and now." Hina patted her daughter and kissed her forehead showering Shizu with love. She could feel her connection because of the skill that already told her how to use them blessing her daughter.
"....I still can't believe you're here. I'm unsure how to repay him." Shizu was not only given another chance but also had her mother alive and stronger than ever. Hina smiled softly and already had something in mind.
"I think remaining by his side would be enough. He definitely fancy you and I for the way she looked at us, especially how my skills reacted." Hina bluntly said without blushing.
"W-What are you saying, Mother!?" Shizu doesn't know what to feel hearing her mother say about a man taking a liking not only her but both of them!?
"My skills [ Lord of Love, Eros ] gave me intuition over a person's interest and I'm confident that the man would treat me and you filled with Love if we remained by his side." Hina didn't even find it strange that he has countless women and can see that every single one was happy based on her skill which was almost inseparable even with her skill.
"Mother, stop joking. We only met today, how can he already like us?" Shizu whispered but felt happy that he showed some interest in her.
"Tell me do you feel alive when looking at him?" Hina asked her daughter, who doesn't have any experience in romance, having lived in constant battle.
"I…I…" Shizu couldn't refute recalling what had happened earlier and when the darkness of despair shrouded her saw shimmering crimson light that brought her back to life.
"See, now that you can live the way you wish means you have more time to know him and see if he's worth it." Hina encouraged her daughter as she understood that Shizue is the type to continuously doubt herself and needs a push.
"If you don't then I don't mind snatching him." She said seeing her daughter start to get annoyed, opting for her to slyly smile.
"NO! I-I…I just don't know." Shizu blushed looking at Erix who pretended not to hear them and was simply thinking about something else.
"Come on, Mother will teach you. My skills tell me that he has a lot of women that we can share." Hina speaks without any filter.
"H-How can you speak so indecently, Mother!?" Shizu shouted in a whisper which only made her mother giggle.
"You're so adorable and still a child, my daughter. I promise that he is simply a perfect man to have." Hina said while Shizu heated up.
"A-Alright, let's stop and talk about something else." Shizu was too flustered and unable to control herself while Hina nodded happily that her daughter still had things to learn and can teach a few things. Back to Erix, he was inwardly smiling listening to their conversation, especially how adorable Shizu was.
[ Another Oyakodon, Master when thee still haven't "Eating" the first Oyakodon thee have. ] Arryn teased and giggled.
{ Indeed, best to take them soon. } Amaia added while Erix inwardly shook his head.
'Tomorrow we will head to Kusha Mountain to meet up with the Tengu. I do want to meet Kaede considering she's an angel.' Erix said recalling how she "fell" into the Central Axis World and possessed a wolf type lycanthrope.
[ Not going to get another Oyakodon? ] Arryn teases him while Erix shuts her down.
'No, I'll let Benimaru have her, I'm not seeking to get all women I see, only ones I'm interested in.' Erix already sent Benimaru as an envoy to speak with them and most likely met up with Momiji.
{ That's good, you already have quite a handful of wives and concubines. } Amaia commented. After a while, Shizu and Hina finish chatting, deciding to head back.
"Thank you again for saving my daughter and giving me the chance to be with her again." Hina bowed, giving her gratitude while Erix shook his head.
"No need, truth be told, the moment you gain new skills I gain them in the process therefore your debt has been repaid." Erix said.
"Even if that is the case, you not only saved us but gave me and my daughter a chance to get new skills. As well as turning us into Human Saint." Hina knew a thing or two about the world and had been watching everything that had been doing.
"Therefore, you shouldn't hesitate to use anything you want." Hina's tone was certainly flirtatious and tempting that Shizu blush to see her mother acting indecent. Erix smirks at how thirsty the woman is and understands that her mind is likely because she's a mature woman like Yuina why she acting this way.
"I'll take you up on that offer. Though, you two don't need to feel obliged. Now, let me take us back." Erix wrapped his arms around their waist where Hina didn't waste any time and enjoyed his strong arms and Shizu still blush at his action as they teleported through shadow.
Erix could have simply used [ Gate ] but this method is a lot more fun and gets the chance to be intimate with them. They returned and told a maid to take the pair to their rooms to rest while he decided to head into the bathhouse to relax. Along the way, he met up with Albedo who seemed to be searching for him.
"My lord, I've gathered some new pieces of information from the adventurer earlier. The young girl Eren was especially helpful in mapping out some areas that Jibril maps out but doesn't know the name of." Albedo explained while Erix nodded.
"Alright, come with me to the bath then we can talk there." Erix said and the Succubus understood what was going to happen, making her happy to get the chances of having alone time with her lord and lover.
