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

-----

Within the depths of the dark and lugubrious Helheim, Veronica stood there looking down at a large pool of liquid and glistening souls. These souls were bathing on it and recovering, their wounds and pains were slowly fading away as they felt better and flew away.

There was a rather massive line of these souls, all lined up to enter this pool. This was the brilliant and beautiful spring of soul healing, a special and super rare divine material which had been automatically upgraded to Supreme God-Realm when Veronica became one.

This spring shone with bright yellow-gold light, while also having a rather phantasmal feeling to it, it emanated a bright soul-like illusory aura that covered with light this dark place. The souls flew into it and bathed, the spring's water healed their soul wounds and made them forget their pains and their traumatic ends.

After that, the souls would fly off, choosing what they wanted to become. A few other phantom clones of Veronica would be waiting them there. They would ask them what they wanted to do.

If they wanted to reincarnate, they would have their memories cleansed and sent into a random world, if they wanted to stay, they would be given the choice of either being born as a variety of races, from many types of undead, monsters, demi-humans, humans, and more.

There was a group of souls that wanted to reincarnate and start anew, often 50% of the people decided to reincarnate despite forgetting their memories. Sometimes such people had very bad and harsh lives, and simply wanted to start anew and roll the dice, hoping that their next life might be a good one.

And then there was the other 50% that decided to stay and start anew in these two massive worlds within the split souls divine realm, the Realm of Alfheim already had two massive oceans, six continents, various biomes, and the size of four times planet Earth, so it was a big place where they could go live without worries, having a relaxing slow life as whatever they wanted to reincarnate as…

There was a surprising thing that often happened here, many male souls wished to reincarnate into female bodies, while female souls waned to reincarnate into male bodies. Veronica wondered why was that, but she realized it was because very so often in the life of a person, they always wonder how it is to live as the opposite sex, or very so often they believe the opposite sex has more privileges than the other, more freedom and more liberties, and therefore, they want to experience that… without knowing that in Veronica and Ervas Nations they'll never experience such painful things, but oh well, not everyone can understand even when the goddess that arranged everything explains it to them…

Veronica recalled the time when she reincarnated her former coworkers, none of them choose to reincarnate from zero, and they all choose similar-looking bodies than those on Earth, although there were some girls that choose to reincarnate as guys, but most of the boys were fine as they were, except the antagonistic figure of Future Kritias, Liam, the Manipulator. Of course, he was stripped of his overpowered cheat when he was eaten, but his soul was reconstructed and he as given a chance to start from zero, and funnily enough, he decided to become… a very beautiful and busty elf girl from all things.

Perhaps it was all his own pent-up feelings or maybe he had gender dysphoria, whatever was the case, Liam had chosen such a life and had been living pridefully as an elf ever since, still keeping her name as Liam, she now works as an alchemist and pharmacist in Alfheim, where she has a small shop in a small, yet no less crowded city named Verdant Soils.

Veronica couldn't help but find it interesting to why this guy who had been such a creepy and evil man had ended becoming this way, so she often spied on him to see if he wouldn't go crazy while she was not looking.

But it wasn't really the case… Liam had been living a very honest life as she had begun from zero, slowly developing her magical abilities and alchemy, she had been diligently crafting recipes, making potions to sell, and even innovating in the science that investigated pills and cures to diseases, although the magic could do all of that, it was still interesting for her, and the split souls had decided to not completely interfere with their powers down there, so even small business like hers can blossom as there is a necessity for such things.

Aside from those that were very close to them, they disliked intervening in the massive world where they lived on, and let the people live as they wanted, even letting those that suffered accidents suffer their own fates, they had become something similar to figures that only watched and intervened when it was truly necessary. They were confident that there would be others to help these people, and even if they died, they would be there to revive that soul once more.

Due to their all-powerful abilities not intervening all the time, there was a lot of room for the people to find their own ways of making money and creating business, one of them was pharmacists that made potions, pills, and all sorts of things that treated diseases and ailments.

Today she spied on Liam and found out there is a young man that often comes to visit her every day, who seems to be in love with her. The thing is, Liam doesn't seem to mind him and the two are slowly building a romance, which only makes it weirder.

"S-Should I tell him who she really is?!" she wondered, but decided not to, as this went against their self-established rules of not intervening.

Veronica sighed as she decided to stop spying on Liam, she had more than confirmed he wasn't anymore a monster inside, so she decided to just do her own things.

And as she finished her work for today, her three lovely wives came to her bringing a lot of food for a picnic.
