Chapter 337: Third Life

Volume 7: World of Espers

[Divine Realm]

After slowly opening his eyes, Kaido found himself in the middle of a white colored pond, In fact even the water on the pond was colored white as a milky substance

As for its fog such color was a bit pinkish for him

While he was wondering its source, he then gazed up above him only to see a starry night sky without any trace of pollution nor natural clouds

If it weren't for the white substance all around him, hw would have thought that he was back to were he started from the very same forest he met Rebecca

"Where am... I?"

As he asked that he then started to look around as his surroundings while still keeping up his guard, after all everything that he remembered was that he was in a middle of a battle, thus causing him to think that he was in somewhat under an illusion

Soon a shadow then overlapped his body causing him to react to it drastically to look up

But what he saw was a beautiful girl who were in somewhat wearing like a Greek clothing while looking down at him, with its eyes staring down while blinking casually

Though in that instant Kaido snapped out of his daze as he asked

"You... who are you?"

Hearing that Serefina who seldom conversed with Kaido in the past before loosing her connection to him, were somewhat dejected upon hearing that even she was forgotten

With a exasperated look she then stood up and held out her hand as she introduced herself once more

"Im Serefina, your supposed to be guide"

"Guide? Why haven't I received any guide from you till now?" Asked Kaido as he rejected the hand and stood on his own

"You did recieve some guide from me, its just that you tend to do things your own way regardless of the danger... that was until I lost connection to you spiritually when you entered the demon continent" explained Serefina as  she motioned her head to follow her

For some reason Kaido felt calm around her as if she was an acquaintance, but nevertheless since he is in a different space completely cut off from the void he would still need to be more vigilant on his surroundings especially in a foreign land

Soon after both Serefina and Kaido exited the pond and came on a whit tiled pavement towards various architecture

The gravity here almost seemed to be non-existent as some roads and rooms seemed to stay afloat

But nevertheless such world was occupied by various people who seemed to be gods of other worlds

"What is this place? Better yet where is this?"

As he asked that Serefina naturally responded

"You won't find this place you know... this place is completely cut off from other known places of the mortal world... no one could come and go here"

After some time they then bumped into small groups of white burning sprite going to some unknown place

"What are those?"

"Those... those are souls, whenever someone died, their souls would be brought here and be transferred to another world with complete new identity causing reincarnation... of course their memories would be wipe out by that point to avoid some type of drastic cultural development that would annihilate the world"

Hearing that Kaido stopped unto his tracks as he pondered

"Souls, non-existent gravity, out of this world existence... you are some goddess  aren't you... and this world is the some God's realm or divine realm in which religious group wanted to go... those roads led to other worlds that are existing and the other humanoid and almost humanoid guys over there are God's too"

Startled by that on point conclusion Serefina then glanced atbhim as she asked

"And how can you say that?"

"Simple only God's or death can handle souls... and those group of sprites over there are called souls by you... in the end you just gave yourself out"

With that Serefina smiled as she came over and patted Kaido

"Your truly attentive... you figured that out just by observing?"

Hearing that Kaido dodged her hand as he replied

"Explaining is one thing while observing is another... since this is the world of the God's... am I dead?"

"Well yes... of course... your absolutely dead"

With that kind of reply the whole vicinity turned silent as the room became slightly awkward

Noticing this Serefina then tried to break the mood as she said

"Since your dead i can also give you something as a reward for your contribution"

"Contribution?"

"Yes... by eliminating the cause of the problem in my governed world, I know you felt the urge to kill Asuto... and that is because you have a goal to return to your old world... as a reward u would grant that power to return to you... I know you would forget that so I'm here to remind you" she replied

"Was that the reason why in so motivated to kill that Asuto guy?... and here i thought I just found him annoying"

With that said few silhouttes byhen came towards them as Aria, Rabdul, and Hakkum the other three gods of the world of Loroa gathered infront of Kaido

"Annoying? Now thats funny, in my perspective you are the more annoying one" said Rabdul

"True... didn't you notice that almost no one hindered your way unlike ordinary trope?" Asks Hakkum

"Thats because no one can himder you cause your the antagonist who is also a protagonist... in short your protagonist who is antagonist" answered Aria

Hearing all that chatter Kaido then glanced at the newly arrived people as he asked

"And you are?"

"Im Hakkum, on my right is Rabdul, while on my left is Aria... we are God's and goddesses who governs the world of Loroa"

With that Kaido glanced at Serefina only to see her smiling

"Well this is such a huge reception, there must be an intention to all of this" said Kaido

"Well yes... actually we are also a guide to the other heroes... I handle the elven hero, Rabdul here handles the human hero, while Aria handles the beastman hero... so in all we have our own perception of you Kaido... and we've been monitoring you" said Hakkum

"We've got our eyes on you brat!" Added Rabdul

"Hehehe" laughed Aria

Hearing that Kaido then crossed his arms as he said

"You guys... just what are you upto?"

With that Serefina said

"Kaido they are just here to see the person who completed the God's  request... of course the original reason is they just want to see the kind of reward I'm going to give you... but..."

"But what?"

"Someone else wanted to meet you"

At that moment as if chills suddenly ran down Kaido's spine, a long and soft hand garb in black cloth suddenly hugged him from the back while carrassing his head

After that a feminine voice resounded his ears which shook kaido

"Welcome my child, I've been longing to see you"

Due to reflex Kaido naturally looked over at the person who said those ewords only to see himself staring at the woman full in black garment with back hair and deep pitch black eyes staring back at him

"My name is calamity... your supposed to be mother"

*******

Name: Calamity

Age: ???

Gender: ???

Race: ???

Stigma: ???

Title: ???

Skill: ???

Blessing: ???

*******

As of some words were stuck on his throat, Calamity then carrassed his neck with her finger which made him felt relieved

"What are you?"

"Me? I'm no god nor demon... in fact im the same kind as the current Zerathras... an entity"

Hearing that familiar name Kaido then started to frown

"What's your relationship with that entity?"

"If you have to ask then maybe... hostility? Since of course he has a record for killing some of my children in the past" smiled Calamity as she rubbed herself on Kaido's cheek

With that Serefina coughed a few times before glancing at Calamity

"Calamity here wanted to see her new child, unfortunately Zerathras killed you which increased her hostility on him, while fonding on you... after all to her you are just like her baby"

"....."

With that Kaido was completely speechless upon hearing her

"Serafina here won't be able to guide you when you return to your world Kaido dear, that means only I can guide you... with of course your other siblings..."

"?!?!"

In that moment Kaido thought of Argos, Fengris, and Aileene who were also a child of calamity

Of course Serefina nodded at her words which showed that it is true

After glancing at kaido for awhile serefina then sighed for a bit before longingly looking at him once more while stating

"Since you completed my request, which also serve as you combat experience the most, I can grant you the power to return to your world... only that type of space manipulation transportation magic okay? Nothing more or else this world will be doomed"

At that Kaido simply nodded as he said

"But it will be useless... after all im dead"

With that calamity snuggled close to him as she said

"You don't have to worry about that, I can give you life you know..."

"You can?"

"She can" confirmed Hakkum

With that Serefina placed her hand unto Kaido's shoulder before imparting a type of space transportation magic which deeply rooted to his unique calamity mana

Due to that with a new magic knowledge imparted to him, he would be able to go between worlds as long as he can get the coordinates of such world

Of course the coordinate between the world of Loroa and his old world was also bestowed to him

After that Serefina's duty was done which made Calamity quite excited as she prepared to bring kaido back to his old body

But before that could happen Kaido glanced at Serefina before asking

"Before anything else... what happened to Horus, Hibiki, and Alduin?"

After looking atbthe other gods Serefina then answered

"Horus has been reborn, Alduin turned into a child, while hibiki returned to his original life when he was still normal while having his parents alive at the same time... they made their own wish, and the wish was granted... of course their memories were wiped clean so they wouldn't be able to recognize you"

Hearing that Kaido suddenly showed a sorrowful smile

"Lucky to be them"

But as he said this everything turned white as Kaido's soul was returned to his original body

With him gone Serefina muttered

"Till we meet again, Kaido"

*********

[Black Castle, Demon Continent]

After 1 month and two weeks after the raid, deep within the castle, a sudden change occurred as Kaido's body started to move

First his finger twitched followed by his breathing until he slowly opened his red eyes

After taking a seat inside his own coffin bed, a sudden adrupt change in his aura occurred which signaled all calamity class beings of his sudden revival

After awhile Aileene fort barge into the room seeing Kaido slowly standing up, following her Fengris and Argos shortly came

"Took you long enough" commented Aileene

"You knew that I was going to get revived?"

"Somehow... women's intuition which further strengthened by you last words"

Hearing that Kaido said

"I see... how long was i dead?"

At this moment fengris answered

"Approximately more than a month..."

Hearing that Kaido somehow smiled as he stretched his body and slowly getting used to mobility

"So what happened? What took you so long to revive?" Asks Argos?

"I have a small nice talk on the people at the other side"

Heairng that all three of them turned speechless as they glanced at Kaido, of course soon after Kaido said to Aileene

"Aileene prepare the teleportation circle, were going to the Ingra kingdom"

With that Aileene asked

"Why? Why would we go there?"

While putting his black jacket on his body, Kaido replied while smiling

"Im bringing some people back, it's time to go back home"
