Jikas Decision
← Ch.533 | Ch.535 → |
Yale didn't expect Dan's reaction, but he liked his resolution.
"Alright. If Jika chooses to reincarnate, I will also reincarnate you, but be aware that I will also seal your memories until Jika recover her own memories."
Giving that the reincarnation needed transformation on the soul, Yale felt that Dan's mind would break if he did it with all his memories. After all, a wolf cub and an adult man were just too different.
As for recovering the memories at the same time as Jika, it was to make their relationship less awkward. If one remembered everything while the other didn't, Yale was sure that there would be problems.
"Sealing my memories is alright, I don't want to have an advantage compared to Jika."
Dan hesitated a bit when he heard about his memories, but he knew that it was the best for him to have a normal relationship with Jika after reincarnation.
"Understood. Jika, you heard it, whatever you choose no one would blame you. This decision will affect your whole future, you can use some time to think about it."
Yale wasn't planning to force Jika to make a decision quickly. Even if she needed years, Yale didn't mind.
However, Jika didn't want to wait. She had already made a decision.
"Master, I choose to reincarnate. I don't care about being a wolf or a human if Dan is with me. I really want to turn strong and someday return to get revenge."
Looking at Jika's eyes, Yale could see that she wasn't rash, she had truly thought about it thoroughly before making a decision.
From the start, Jika liked more that option, but Dan was the principal reason for what she hesitated. Thus, after hearing Dan's words, Jika didn't have any other doubt.
"Very well. Let's go to a secluded place since the operation is dedicated. I am proficient at it, but interruptions are never good."
After speaking, Yale went to a secluded room with Jika, Dan, and the Governor, who would stay in guard to prevent that someone disturbed the process.
Of course, everyone under the Governor's orders had been told to stay far away from that room, and if there was something urgent, they should only send him a divine sense message.
The Governor didn't expect that Yale would do something like reincarnating Jika and Dan since it was considered extremely difficult.
After all, Life and Death needed to be controlled simultaneously and perfectly balanced, which wasn't something that people in their universe that would already have difficulties in learning one of them could do easily.
However, he knew that his master wasn't someone that could be judged with common sense and that in Yale's universe, there were Laws and Essences helping to learn those things.
Yale's level surpassed by far that of the Essences, especially after having experienced being a God, his overall control improved dramatically, although the ice was the most affected, followed by the time.
A God had an easier time trying to learn those things than an immortal, but it wasn't like if any God could learn everything. Obtaining a bit of proficiency in everything wouldn't be a problem, but training everything to a Minor God level was something that not even Great Gods could do.
"Ready?"
Yale spoke seriously while also giving them a last chance in case any of them wanted to back off, Jika and Dan just nodded and kissed each other.
"We will be together forever. No matter in which life it is."
Dan hugged Jika after the kiss. He was scared, but he was stubborn and wanted to be with his beloved no matter the suffering.
"Right, together forever."
Jika was also scared. Anyone without experience or knowledge about reincarnation would be scared in that situation.
However, Jika also trusted her master and believed that doing that was the best for her future.
Seeing the resolution of his disciples, Yale started the reincarnation process.
The whole room had been cut-off and was an independent dimension, but if someone tried to enter from the outside, it would break quickly.
That universe was far more stable than Yale's universe, so Yale wasn't able to create a perfectly stable dimension.
A cycle of reincarnation was set in the separated dimension, and the soul of Jika and Dan were thrown there, while Yale disintegrated their old bodies to use their components as the base for the new ones.
It wasn't before long that two wolf cubs were lying on the place where Jika and Dan had been before.
The Governor was really impressed by the ease with which Yale had done the process. He firmly believed that even those old ninth level immortals that trained for who-knew how long wouldn't be able to do the process any smoother than Yale.
Anyone with that capability would have already become a Minor God.
Yale's control of Life and Death was far from that threshold, but in regards of knowledge about reincarnation alone, he wasn't far from it, although he didn't know since he didn't think that something like controlling reincarnation counted because he felt that it would be Life and Death.
That was a misconception of how the things worked on his universe, but there weren't restrictions like that to train something to Minor God level. Reincarnation alone could reach it despite Life and Death being far from it.
What was particular about those who reached Minor God level with reincarnation was that all of them lived more than one life; usually, a lot of lives and had all the memories of them.
Reincarnation defiantly wasn't among the strongest or the rarest powers that could reach Minor God level, but it was definitely the most useful to help family and disciples when facing problems that couldn't be resolved without reincarnation.
After all, it didn't have any battle-oriented powers. It could be used on defeated opponents, but one needed to beat them first. Definitely, it wasn't something to rely upon in a frontal battle.
After a few seconds, the souls of Dan and Jika entered their new wolf bodies.
Since Yale had used their old bodies as a base to create them, the new bodies were very compatible with their soul even after being transformed to beast souls by the special cycle of reincarnation Yale made.
Any soul that fell there would be degraded to beast soul.
At that moment, both wolves were already alive, but they were just normal wolves without any kind of intellect. Unless they trained and became stronger, they wouldn't regain their previous intellect as humans.
Yale would be able to understand their beast instincts and intentions as words, but they weren't like Wyba, who had her intellect boosted due to her connection with Yale.
Moreover, in Yale's universe, any beast who started training would already gain some intellect even while being in the Mortal Rank, they couldn't compare to humans, but they were definitely smarter than ordinary beasts.
However, for what Yale had read, in the universe he was, it was somewhat more difficult, although it didn't require reaching immortality.
Fortunately, training was also easier there, so Yale didn't feel that it would be a problem.
Yale picked up both wolves with care before speaking.
"Roanmad, go and tell the servants to prepare everything to take care of them. They should mature quite quickly, but they are just newborns now and need some care."
Yale didn't have time to take care of two newborn wolves at that moment.
He wanted to get some clues to how to help Lar to become a person again, and it was already a lot that Yale decided to not leave the city until the wolves could leave with him.
After all, Yale was just the master of Jika and Dan, not their father. He was willing to teach them, but he didn't have any obligation to take care of them as newborns.
Moreover, he was sure that there were people better for the job than him.
Wyba was a cub when Yale had met her, but she was already able to eat some meat at that time, so he didn't have any experience taking care of cubs just after they had been born.
The Governor had servants that knew about taking care of newborn beasts. In fact, those were beasts with human form that already had experience with their own cubs.
There wasn't any wolf, but there was a couple of dogs with some experience that took care of them.
Yale wanted to say that a dog and a wolf wasn't the same, but he shut up because there wasn't anyone else to ask for help and he definitely wouldn't be better than that couple.
Anyway, they were just taking care of them until Jika and Dan could move and eat without help, so it wouldn't be a long time, and Yale planned to visit them regularly.
After leaving the wolves with the servants, Yale spoke to the Governor.
"Do you know of anyone who knows how to return a human transformed into a weapon to a human form?"
Yale knew that there wasn't such knowledge on the library, but it wasn't impossible that someone knew about it despite not being written on books.
"I know the location of expert crafters that can make weapons capable of developing spirit, but despite being quite far from here, I never heard that they had any method to restore a human transformed into a weapon, so I think that is a waste of time going there unless you don't have any other choice."
