Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

-----

The EXP that Supreme Gods required for a single level was tremendous! To reach Level 100 and get to the next Rank, they really needed to slay some big game bosses, such as a lot of delicious Gods and perhaps the strongest subordinate Gods of Bestellen, for example!

Although their major preparations were all ready for the war to come, the split souls were stalling for time, waiting for Bestellen to do his moves before anything.

Their children had yet to be born, although they developed fast, it wasn't so fast as to develop in just a month. Veronica and Ervas' wives desired to fight alongside them, but the fear of the babies being damaged ate their minds away.

Of course, there were exceptions, Shade, Aqua, and Veronica had complete control over their bodies, so they were able to easily create a small second body connected to their souls to leave inside the divine realm that carried the baby, while their main bodies were left without it. Of course, their second body still felt like their body, so their connection with the baby wasn't lost.

For those such as Anna, Pekorina, Amelia, and Acathea, they had to do it differently.

By using a good quantity of System points, the split souls summoned perfect replications of their wives' bodies and let them be their "Avatars" such as the Gods. The wives happily hopped into these bodies, virtually having two bodies now, one carrying their child and the other ready to fight.

The new ones, however, were not too strong, so they were sent to gain EXP for as long as they could before the war started.

Ervas and Veronica had also designed a myriad of new equipment items, mechanical items, and more, which also included full on bodysuits that transformed into giant mechs for literally everyone, they were going to destroy Bestellen and everything he stood for with the power of magic technology!

The split souls traveled across Kritias in their phantom and void clones, many of them were guarding the areas which were below their protection, their leaders had refused to join them, and they hadn't forced them, but had taken into consideration their security and dozens of such clones were there all the time.

As the split souls' main bodies did many things within the divine realm, Bestellen had already begun to move his plans.

The Seashore Town had a peaceful day as always, the people were moving across the streets, going to their daily works, attending their small farms, and enjoying the beautiful beaches of the city.

The markets made by the split souls were flourishing and many people went to buy their necessities inside of them, other markets had been completely assimilated and a large monopoly was made by them, the aristocrats had nothing they could do against that, and well, they were mostly brainwashed, at least the unwilling ones and those with tendencies to do evil deeds.

The guards of the gates were letting people enter leisurely, completely unaware of the many phantasmal presences protecting the entire city hiding at clear sight, Veronica and Ervas clones.

They glanced at the outside as they felt something odd, the wind had disappeared, and entities of divine power had begun to approach within the skies.

Additionally, a sudden army of mortals emerged in the horizon…

The guards saw that, at the very least, pulling all the people that were making rows to enter inside the gates and closing them.

Alarms sounded everywhere as they spotted a large army of Paladins which had suddenly come out of nowhere right before them.

As the people in Seashore panicked, large barriers were erected, encompassing several powerful elements protecting everyone within the city, as the Gods that were sent to overlook the war noticed this and were left speechless.

"What? What is this? A barrier?"

"But Lord Bestellen said that they had left this place unprotected, right?"

"Have they bitten the bait easier than we had expected?

"So they had come!"

The Heroic Gods in this crusade were all former heroes of Bestellen, loyal subjects to his malicious and maddening beliefs, however, although they were about 30 of them, they had over 40 other gods behind them. The expressions of these gods as they used their energies to maintain themselves within the mortal world wasn't good, they seemed forced into this situation.

Veronica and Ervas within their divine realm analyzed everything quickly and made their move in an instant.

Dozens of Phantom and Void Clones emerged around Seashore, as they opened portals to their divine realm, gigantic beasts surged out in an instant, their tamed beasts and plants!

The Heroic Gods glanced with not much surprise, they had expected as much, but when they saw mere beasts coming to fight them, they couldn't help but feel insulted. Did these idiots truly believed they could beat them with monsters?

Alongside the troop of tamed beasts and plants, a few of the Gods avatars had joined as well.

Suddenly, Phunana and Uphy noticed that the Gods behind the Heroic Gods were… familiar.

"Wait… Those are my subordinate Gods!" said Phunana.

"Mine are there too! Vulcan, they're there!" said Uphy, speaking with Vulcan's avatar, he had come with her through her journey to join Ervas and Veronica.

"Yes, my lady, but it appears they're not here to join us… they had come to fight." Said Vulcan.

"But… why?" wondered Uphy.

"It's pretty obvious, they were forced into this. Most likely the stinky bastard of Bestellen did some blackmailing there!" said Phunana.

"Ervas, Veronica…!" muttered Uphy.

"Don't worry, we'll save them." They said through their phantom clones, as more began to emerge without stopping, endlessly!

An enormous army of hundreds of phantom and void clones appeared, flashing into the skies with the rest of the tamed monster army and the gods' avatars!

FLAAAAASH!

Meanwhile, in land, a little, pink-furred Squirrel girl, a cute phantasmal Arachne girl, and a few half blood humans were left to fight the Paladins.

"Mama said we could eat them, right?" asked Violet.

"Yeah! We can even eat their souls and equipment, no problem, Violet-chan! Go all out!" said Kuro.

"Yaaaay!"

Unexpectedly, the Holy War had already begun!
