Legacy of the Strongest Beings

I sensed the presence of Ragnarok inside the bandits' loot cart.

I had already killed Ragnarok, that was certain!

But why could I feel its presence here?

I don't know!

What I need to do now is to check what is inside that cart.

The forest was now covered in darkness.

The campfire that was burning earlier had gone out.

The atmosphere was silent and eerie.

I walked cautiously towards the cart.

My hand still holding my sword, ready to fight.

There was an iron cage inside the cart.

Inside the cage was wriggling flesh that looked disgusting.

"What is this? Ragnarok?"

Indeed, I sensed the presence of Ragnarok from this lump of flesh.

After observing the lump of flesh, I recalled the information about blobs I had recently read in a book.

According to the book, a blob is a monster that looks like a lump of skinless flesh.

It has the ability to be hard to kill, will injure anyone who touches it, and attracts nearby ghosts.

Indeed, there were ghosts approaching.

I immediately killed them.

Just troublesome.

Setting aside the ghosts.

It was written that blobs are caused by a virus.

When a human is infected by this virus, it is certain that the human will become a blob.

This virus can spread to nearby people.

There is no vaccine for this virus.

But the information from the church-published book did not match the facts I found.

"This must be caused by Ragnarok's blood.

Or maybe because of my negligence."

Ragnarok is the embodiment of destruction itself.

Even if Ragnarok is not moving, and you are just beside it, you will be destroyed on your own. This ability remains even if it is dead.

That's why it was appropriate for me to clean up Ragnarok's corpse.

But it was impossible for me to clean up Ragnarok's blood that splattered across the universe during our battle.

That blood was responsible for turning humans into blobs.

Blood is still blood, it is not a virus.

So it's impossible for it to enter the body on its own.

There must be someone who deliberately put it in.

But for what purpose?

"No, for now, don't think about that.

I must return this blob to its original form."

Even though Ragnarok is the embodiment of destruction, ironically it has incredible endurance and regeneration.

When Ragnarok's blood enters the body, it destroys the body from within, but at the same time, it heals it.

Destroying, healing, destroying, healing, destroying, healing, destroying, healing.

This cycle goes on and on, repeatedly.

Blobs are living creatures, meaning they continue to live in pain and suffering, without ever reaching death.

"Your legacy is truly cruel."

I must heal it.

**********

Seven days had passed since I found that blob.

I brought it to an abandoned village.

In this village, I would heal it.

Now, I had managed to transform it from a lump of flesh into a humanoid form.

From here I knew that she was a female, and not human, but an elf; I could tell because of her long, pointed ears.

But I had not yet succeeded in stopping the activity of Ragnarok's blood within her.

I misunderstood this case.

I thought Ragnarok's blood was an external substance forcibly inserted into her body, which is why I removed Ragnarok's blood from her body.

The result was a failure; Ragnarok's blood was produced again within her.

From here I realized that she was a hybrid.

A mix between Ragnarok and an elf.

I also didn't know how this was possible.

Ragnarok was already dead, and it was impossible for it to mate.

"What should I do?"

Creating a new body and transferring her soul into it is the easiest action.

But, I want to make the Ragnarok bloodline harmonious with the elf bloodline.

I am curious about what would happen if it comes true.

There is no other choice, I will take her to Heaven.

"Bifrost."

I called upon the only tool for traveling to Heaven.

It manifested as a rainbow light enveloping me before transporting me.

**********

Heaven is a very beautiful place.

So beautiful it's hard to describe.

Filled with natural elements like trees, flowers, rivers, and more.

A very comfortable place to live.

A temperature that makes people feel at home, neither too hot nor too cold.

The air is very fresh, more fragrant than any perfume.

Before Ragnarok, there were nine worlds in this universe.

Asgard and Vanaheim were one of them.

When Ragnarok came, those two worlds united; the same thing happened with the other worlds.

Now, the world created from Asgard and Vanaheim, I named Heaven.

Heaven produces heavenly energy.

Energy made from positive energy created from positive emotions.

Heavenly energy has extraordinary creation abilities.

Just by thinking, I can create a hamburger from heavenly energy.

Heavenly energy also played a crucial role in the creation of The Old Dream and my reincarnation.

This time, I will use heavenly energy to create a new race.

********

"I succeeded."

Finally, using heavenly energy, I managed to make the Ragnarok bloodline harmonious.

The symbol of this harmony is a halo – a white ring – above this girl's head.

As long as the halo remains, the Ragnarok bloodline will be harmonious.

"But, the side effect is that this girl's body has shrunk."

Previously, this girl had the body of an adult woman, but now she is the size of a child.

It's like experiencing age regression.

But that's not a problem, over time, she will grow.

A new race has been successfully created, and I named it Angel.

I also created clothes to cover her naked body.

I didn't want her to think that I had violated her.

While waiting for her to wake up, I ate a burger.

"Delicious! The heavenly delight is truly extraordinary.

Mortal food cannot compare to this."

After I finished eating, the girl woke up.

"No way... my body that had turned into a blob has returned to normal."

"Finally, you're awake."

"Did Your Excellency cure me of this disease?"

"Yes, of course. Who else could it be besides me?"

"This blessing is invaluable to me.

I will repay you by dedicating my life to serving you."

Her attitude was very exaggerated and formal.

In stark contrast to my relaxed demeanor.

"Set that aside. Now, look over there."

In the direction I pointed, there was a sight that marred the beauty of Heaven.

A massive lump of flesh as large as a mountain was there.

"What kind of mountain is that?

It's disgusting and feels like the root of all evil."

"That is the corpse of Ragnarok."

Yes, I placed Ragnarok's corpse in Heaven.

It had been thousands of years since Ragnarok occurred, but it hadn't decomposed.

"Ragnarok?"

"The evil being that tried to destroy the universe thousands of years ago.

But set that aside for now.

The fact is you are a descendant of Ragnarok."

"Eh...? What do you mean...?"

The girl was very shocked.

Of course, after all, I just called her a descendant of that ugly creature.

"Ragnarok never reproduced.

But, the fact that you are its descendant.

It means your ancestor injected Ragnarok's blood into themselves to obtain the Ragnarok bloodline.

As a result, of course, their descendants like you inherited Ragnarok's bloodline.

But that is just my speculation.

So, do you know what happened in the past?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know.

Secrets about the past are highly guarded, even from me, a princess."

"Is that so."

Honestly, I felt something bad from this.

I had many speculations.

The worst was that someone wanted to obtain the power of Ragnarok.

That was the worst, I didn't want Yggdrasil to be destroyed again.

"Little girl, I have a goal to become the dark hand that moves behind the scenes to control this world.

To achieve my ambition, I need an organization to serve me.

Would you like to join me?"

"My life has been saved by you, it is my duty to repay you.

I swear to serve you and help you achieve your goals."

"Very good. Call me Darkness, and your name is Aria.

Our organization's name is... hmm... Made In Heaven."

My reincarnation was made in Heaven, my sorcery was made in Heaven, angels were made in Heaven, my organization was also made in Heaven.

Since it's synonymous with Heaven, my organization's name is Made In Heaven.

"I understand, Lord Darkness."

'Lord Darkness', a not-bad title.

This girl is good at making me feel happy.

"Hmm? Your eyes have special abilities, don't they?"

Aria is very beautiful even though she now has a child's body, like a creature created in heaven. Pale white skin without blemishes.

Long straight hair with bangs covering the forehead, with a unique black color that doesn't reflect light like true darkness.

Almond eyes but with ordinary black color just like mine.

"You're right, my lord.

These eyes allow me to use all kinds of mana manipulation techniques."

"So you are the lucky one who got one of my power factors."

"Power factors?"

"Thanks to Ragnarok, the universe was destroyed.

Of course, I didn't want to live in such an environment.

That's why I decided to reincarnate into the future, a future where the universe has recovered.

But I was the strongest being in the world at that time, so it would be foolish of me to leave my power behind and start over as a weak being.

That's why I scattered my four factors:

Primordial Void Physique, extraordinary strength and endurance;

Vanir Eyes, a pair of mystical eyes;

Progenitor Essence Wings, giving two primordial main powers;

Freedom Rune, a rune that represents unbroken bonds on the body;

Freyr's appearance, possessing the same characteristics as mine.

"If there is a body that has these four factors, then that body will become the vessel for my soul.

With that, I only need ten years to recover my power."

Without such a method, I would need thousands of years to recover my power.

"I feel very fortunate to be the chosen one to receive your power."

"Good, you can manipulate mana.

Do you already have sorcery?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I do not have sorcery."

"Why would I be disappointed that you don't have sorcery.

In fact, that's a good thing.

Because that way, I can easily give you sorcery."
