Demon Lord's Reincarnation

"Hey, I'm curious do you have any memories from the time you were Cry Loder." Mythious suddenly asked.

Seeing as there was nothing wrong in telling him the truth, Ren explained the situation of his soul and the past reincarnations. The more Mythious heard the more surprised he was, he had already imagined that every reincarnation of the Strongest Mortal Soul would be absurd, but he was only basing this on Cry's absurdity.

It turns out that there could be more reincarnations that were even more absurd, like Ren who was in front of him. This was a reincarnation that could communicate with all of his past reincarnations, not only that but he was even able to learn most of their techniques.

"So that means right now Cry is able to hear whatever I'm saying."

"Yeah, he was the one I was talking to before you came."

"Then can I speak to him?"

"... Even though I already knew that you were going to ask that, it's still surprising how direct you are."

"Well, since I'm talking to someone like you, being direct is the most effective way, right?"

"Heh, you truly are one of the many rivals of the Strongest Mortal Soul... Fine, I will allow you to talk to the guy directly."

Ren closed his eyes and several seconds later when he opened his eyes again something changed. It was not a physical change but the atmosphere Ren exuded had subtly changed.

"It's been a while Mythious, how you've been?"

A smile filled with confidence the look in the eyes that seem to want to devour everything in sight. Mythious without saying anything pointed his finger at Ren and a massive amount of mana was about to burst out. Surprisingly before Mythious's spell was able to form it was negated.

"Heh, it really is you to be able to comprehend the structure of my spell with a glance and negate it, the only one I know who could do that is you, Cry Loder."

"Heh, what a wonderful test. If it were any other reincarnation that faced you they would have simply taken your spell at full blast without avoiding it. To actually compute and form such a complicated spell with several layers of feints and even add a few traps here and there, you have improved greatly."

"Tsk, why does hearing praise from a monster like you sounds like mockery instead?"

The two looked at each other with a smile on his face and then they both laughed heartily. The two did not stop laughing as if the first one to stop would lose something.

"HAHAHAHA!!!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

It took several minutes before Mythious finally stopped laughing.

"You don't want to lose even if it's something like this."

"Heh, have you ever beaten me in anything?"

"Don't you remember when you were younger you came to me and asked me to show you magic. I'm pretty sure at that time I was better than you in magic."

"Oh right, you were indeed better at me at that time. I guess I can give you a win." Ren shrugged his shoulders as he responded.

"... I forgot how irritating you are."

"Huh? Irritating I just agreed with you and now you're calling me irritating. Well, it seems that even after all these years you still haven't gotten better in controlling your temper."

"... Hmph, whatever, it doesn't matter anymore."

The two then became silent and simply stared at each other, after several seconds of silence Cry spoke.

"Mythious, thanks for protecting my descendants for all these years."

"No need to thank me, I was just repaying you for what you did for me back then. You saved my life, no not only me you saved our entire universe back then in exchange for yours."

"You know better than I that wasn't my intention. I simply wanted to test out the new things I created."

"Even so, that doesn't change the fact that you saved everyone."

"Is that so..."

"Yeah, aside from that I actually enjoyed staying with these descendants of yours. Despite not being as unreasonable as you, they gave me a lot of inspiration to create a spell that even you will be surprised by."

"Hoh, now you got me interested. Care to show me this spell that you created?"

"Of course, the entire point of me creating this spell was for me to show to you."

"This I have to see, so what kind of spell is it?"

"You'll get to see it in a while, but before that, we need to change locations."

"Oh is it an area effect spell?"

"In a way it is, so you'll allow me to teleport you, alright?"

Mythious needed to say this since Cry was someone who could unconsciously disable his spell even if he did it by surprise. In fact, if Mythious suddenly used a teleport spell Cry might react violently since despite his easygoing nature he was still a reincarnation of the battle-hungry Strongest Mortal Soul.

"Sure, sure, let's go."

Hearing Cry's approval Mythious snapped his fingers and teleported them away.

...

Cry and Mythious were teleported into an empty area with nothing but rocks. Cry immediately noticed that they didn't just teleport to a different place but they teleported to a different planet altogether. After a quick scan Cry sensed that there were no other living beings on this planet except for him and Mythious.

"Teleporting to an empty planet. This spell of yours should be very destructive."

"I'm going to use two spells I hope you're ready."

"Bring it on!"

Cry had his eyes wide open excited to see what would happen next, Mythious then started reciting spell words while he was doing so a giant magic circle appeared beneath their feet. Mythious spiritual energy was raised to the maximum and then something amazing happened. The barren land of this planet without life suddenly had a forest.

The forest of trees surrounded Cry and then in the middle of the forest trees was a field of flowers this is where Cry and Mythious were standing. Mythious then pointed his finger upward and a sparkling beam of light flew out and exploded at the white sky.

It was like hundreds of shooting stars fell from that beam of light. Cry could not help himself a stream of tears escaped his eyes. This was a sight that he could not have imagined possible, to create life with magic that did not have the power from the void.

"Ever since I heard your story about that old man from long ago, the reason why you kept searching for your so-called truth, I had this thought of making something that you will never forget. I Mythious Maverick the Ancient Mage and your eternal rival have devoted most of my time to creating a spell that would surpass the one you saw that day.

So What do you think did it surpass the sight you saw that day?"

Cry stared at the confident smiling Mythious and chuckled.

"Heh, It's a spell worthy of the rival of the seeker of truth Cry Loder."

When Mythious heard Cry's reply he almost broke down in tears, but held it back. This was the first time ever that Cry had acknowledged him as his rival. A wide smile appeared on Mythious's face as he laughed in joy.

"Of course!"
