Chapter 34  : Choices

Embra looks at Keinnayi's direction and smiles to express his happiness to meet her. As a man who knows of the situation, he knows that this is not the time for them to express their feelings or be romantic. Even though he is nothing but a soul right now, he still has a man's pride and if he were to confess, he would only confess to her when he gets sufficient power and standing, at least equal to her. That's why he is keeping quiet about his feelings.

"Been a while, Embra. I am relieved to see that you are calm and composed even after your death. Well, let's not talk further here. Do you still remember the wish you wished to me five years ago? I will fulfil it now.... Where do you want to go?" (Keinnayi)

Embra smiles seeing the Keinnayi who looks so divine with her pure white wings and her blue platinum hair. If possible, he wants to look at her for a long time appreciating her beauty but, he controls his minds and thinks about her words.

'... Where would I go, huh? If I was asked this just after my death, I would have answered 'One Pi*ce'. No doubt about that. But, after thinking in that place for a long time, I think it might be better for me to study martial arts or swordsmanship at least before I go further. I need a solid basic foundation. So, let's go to a world where it is relatively 'safe' and can learn swordsmanship which I wanted to learn since young.' (Embra's thought)

Embra sorties his thoughts and says them one by one clearly.

"Before I aim to become a god, I want to have a basic foundation. So, I want to learn swordsmanship in Kimetsu no Yaiba world. And, as three gifts, that will help me in my next life, I want my own personal training place, permission to travel to other worlds and a darkness power. To further explain, as my first wish I want a personal training place where time flows differently so that I can train my skills and technique. And, as a second wish, I want to visit another world from books and see things around.

As a last wish, I want the power of darkness as the main character in one of the manga 'Seven Deadly Sins'." (Embra)

Embra's wishes are understood clearly by the two goddesses and they answer him soon starting from Keinnayi.

"Embra. Your wish to travel to that world can be granted. I can also grant you your second wish. Is there anything else you want to wish?" (Keinnayi)

"Mhm.." (Embra)

"I can grant your first wish without a problem. I will give you a powerful illusion world that can only be cast on yourself. In there, you will have full control of that world. You can train your five senses in there. But, you can not train your physical body as the illusion power is in your mind. But, after illusion ended, all your experience in that illusion world will be transferred to your physical body.

Time flow in there will be diluted so that 1 day equal to 1 minute in real-time as of now and it will become longer the more you get used to it. The third wish can be granted too. I am curious why you would ask the power of darkness but, well, I will give you one. It will have the ability to strengthen your physical body like all the power of darkness in that world when used and it will have a random ability. If that is acceptable, state your another wish." (Goddess Lashili)

'In SDS, Meli*das's darkness has the power to destroy while Zelad*is has to power of speed. Other users of darkness have their own power too like the demon king's 'The ruler'. I wonder what ability I will have. Well, it will be interesting nonetheless. Anyway... another wish, huh? Oh, Right' (Embra's thought)

Embra calms his excited mind and thinks about the second wish. But, it did not take him longer because he has already thought of one.

"Then, as presumptuous I may be, I want to possess the physical body that can accept the power of the world." (Embra)

"Do explain that in detail." (Goddess Lashili)

Goddess Lashili raises an eyebrow at Embra's wish because it can mean many other things. So, she asks to be sure which Embra explain it using references.

"It would be better if you read my memory but..., If I have to provide some example, it would be nature energy, Chakra and Magic. On earth, monks say that there is Chakara in the air and there are Chakara of the universe which I have no clue of. And, there is Nature Energy in the manga 'Naruto' and magic, mana and other kinds of stuff too.

What I wish is I want to possess the physical body that can contain the power of that world be it Nature energy, Chakara or Magic, in my body and use it as I will." (Embra)

"I see... Hm. It would become quite an absurd physical constitution if I were to include every form of energy and power. So, I will be granting the physical body that can only contain the three power that you mentioned above. Is that fine?" (Goddess Lashili)

Embra expresses his gratitude to Goddess Lashili who accept it while smiling. Then, Embra was about to say something to Keinnayi but, his soul becomes a little faint. Seeing that, Keinnayi hurriedly calls out to Embra who is losing conscious.

"Become strong, Embra. Let's meet again." (Keinnayi)

As soon as her words ended, Embra's soul becomes a ball of blue fire and Embra completely lost his conscious. It is understandable because there is no way a soul would be able to live conscious for a long time in Goddess Lashili's place which is full of her power. His soul could not handle her power and so he loses conscious.

Keinnayi approaches the pale blue fireball and gently cup it with both of her hands. She closes her eyes and wishes him the best. The other two goddesses also approach her and Goddess Lashili to ask Keinnayi.

"Keinnayi girl. I am curious about one thing. That book in his soul... Is that a 'system' that has become popular in Heaven?" (Goddess Lashili)

"Yes. It was not perfect yet at the time it bonded with Embra. But, now, I can perfect it. Um... Why the question though, Goddess Lashili?" (Keinnayi)

Keinnayi has bad premonition seeing the eyes of Goddess Lashili who is looking at the depth of Embra amusedly. She prays that her premonition does not come true but,

"I see. If I remember right, there is a 'Quest' Function, right? Make it so that I can also grant him some quest." (Goddess Lashili)

'Ugh. NO. I hid it to the best of my ability but, Oh dear. Ahh... I cannot deny her either. And, if I deny her and she directly involves with Embra, it would spell trouble too. Yep. Let's give her access to the system too. So, I can at least see what she do.' (Keinnayi's thought)

Of course, if possible, she doesn't want to give her access to the system but, it is better than her directly involving with Embra. So, Keinnayi unwillingly gives access to Goddess Lashili. She is smiling outside while smiling but, she is thinking about what to do in case Embra was in a pinch because of her. While Keinnayi is worrying about Embra's future, her friend saves her.

"Oh, Right. Keinnayi, can I also give him some gift as congratulation for his reincarnation? I have a hunch that we will be seeing each other much more from now on." (Algadore)

"Al ! ..." (Keinnayi)

Algadore approach Keinnayi who is worrying over Embra. She approaches at the right timing because Goddess Lashili is busy building a body for Embra and cannot give attention to Algadore. Keinnayi smiles brightly to her friend because if she gives Embra her gift, Embra will at least have an insurance. So, Keinnayi accepts it with welcome arms.

"Of course. You can gift it to him." (Keinnayi)

"Thank you. Then, Sky Embra... I give you my divine protection. I hope you become stronger." (Algadore)

Algadore blesses Embra's soul with her divinity and at the same time, Goddess Lashili finished building a body for Embra. Luckily, Goddess Lashili is not suspicious and do not misunderstand them because she is in a good mood. She instructs Keinnayi to ready everything as she herself has finished granting Embra's wishes. Keinnayi nods and first upgrade the system inside Embra's soul first. She herself also gives Embra a little gift and open a gate to Kimetsu No Yaiba world.

"Ho. So, it is in that universe, huh? It seems like you have tempered with the world a little bit, girl. Well, whatever, Farewell, Sky Embra. I have a high expectation of you. Hope you become a god." (Goddess Lashili)

Goddess Lashili sent Embra to that world and Keinnayi successfully reincarnate Embra in that world. When the gate closed, the two goddesses decided to return which Goddess Lashili approved. She is too much in a good mood to angry at the two goddesses and so she started to look over Embra as soon as Keinnayi and Algadore disappear from her realm.

This is the start of the story of Embra who ascend to the highest position among gods as the god of Lightning. Next, I will tell of the Gods Ranking.
