Demon Lord's Reincarnation



Several minutes before Erste started his fight with the New God Re' Khe Hata, Nikki, Miguel, and Tala were trying to find the correct frequency so that they could speak to whoever was trying to contact them through the radio. 

While the trio were doing their own thing Erste outside was now in a tough battle, making them feel a lot of pressure especially since they don't know how strong the so-called New God was. 

"Hey, can you guys do this faster?! I don't think Erste can hold on for long." Nikki who was watching the battle between Erste and Re' Khe Hata through the window saw that Erste was only barely evading the attacks of the inhuman Re' Khe Hata. As she watched the way Re' Khe Hata used flames she was starting to believe the other party's claim of being a so-called New God. 

"I'm doing it as fast as I can, I can't go any faster. There's no other way to do this than to check each frequency." Miguel was turning the knobs of the radio while Tala was speaking on the microphone. It took them several tries but they finally got what they needed. 

"Hey is anyone there?!" 

"... Are you human?" The voice on the other end of the transceiver spoke, they could not make out if the voice was from a boy or a girl, but what made them even more confused was the question asked.

"Huh?"

"Answer me, are you human?!" 

"Yeah, we're all humans." 

"Alright, right now are you being chased by a monster calling itself a New God?" 

"Yes, right now our friend is delaying that person while we talk to you. Can you help us?!"

"Sh*t, you guys need to leave now! That friend of yours is already dead, and so will you if you don't leave now." 

"But!"

"No buts, that monster is not something that could be reasoned with nor could you survive this place with-" Nikki took the microphone from Tala and shouted at it. 

"I don't know who you are, but Erste already cut off the head of that so-called New God." 

"Huh?! Wait?! Did you say that friend of yours was able to behead a New God?" 

"Yeah, why are you impressed?"

"Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t! You really need to get away right now! Get your friend that beheaded the New God and flee that area as fast as you can." 

"Huh, what do you mean?" 

"No time to explain, for now, you better bring this radio and follow my instructions!" 

"Wait, setting aside whether we should trust you or not how can we bring this radio transceiver that's plugged into the wall?" 

"That thing doesn't really need electricity just unplug it and you'll see." 

Nikki checked it out and after unplugging the device it was still on. 

"So did it work?" 

"... Fine, I'll trust you for now... So how are we going to escape from here?" 

"First I want you to check on what happened to that friend of yours as well as the body of the New God."

...

The trio went out of the radio station and saw the unconscious Erste lying on the ground full of blood. The trio quickly checked if he was alive, after confirming that Erste was breathing Nikki tried to find any wounds on Erste's body but she could not find a single one. 

'What does this mean, where did all this blood come from?'  While Nikki was confused the person on the radio spoke. 

"So what's happening, is your friend still alive, how about the New God is the New God's body repairing itself?" 

Hearing what the other party said the trio quickly understood that the New God had the ability to regenerate, so they backed away with Erste's body and observed the New God's body from a distance. Upon looking at it for a couple of seconds there was no indication that it was regenerating. 

"Our friend is still alive as for the New God's body it's not doing anything, there is no blood flowing out, nor is the head regrowing, there's nothing happening." 

"That's weird... Can you guys check if there is some sort of mark on the forehead of that body?" 

The trio looked at each other and without saying a word it was Nikki who stepped forward. Nikki had a serious expression on her face as she slowly walked toward the head of the New God  Re' Khe Hata. As she was getting closer and closer to the head Nikki was already sweating profusely, her heartbeat getting louder and louder as that was the only sound she could hear. 

Nikki was just one foot away from the head but she could not see the forehead as it was facing downward. Nikki gulped as she mustered up all her courage and knelt to move the head. As she was about to touch  Re' Khe Hata's head she noticed that her hand was trembling, Nikki then bit her lower lip as he moved the head and looked at the forehead. Nikki saw that there was indeed something on the forehead, it was an emblem of sorts one that looked like flames enveloping the stars. 

After she was done looking she went back to report to the person on the other side of the radio. After hearing the description of the emblem the person on the radio was silent for a few seconds, and then he sighed. 

"Alright, do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?" 

"... How about you tell us the good news first to ease the tension," Tala suggested as no one was responding.

"Fine, the good news is that your friend is someone incredible and he was able to actually truly kill a New God, even if that New God was not using his full power and surely was underestimating your friend that is an incredible achievement. So the moment your friend wakes up he would gain a power like no other for killing that New God." 

The trio looked at Erste in awe, Erste was already a very powerful person before but with the new power he gained, they wondered how powerful he was now.

"That's incredible, so if you kill these so called New Gods you'll gain unimaginable power?" Nikki asked excitedly also wanting to try her hand in killing these b*stards. 

"Don't even think about it, killing one who was suppressing his power is almost an impossible task. It takes not only skill, power, and strategy, you also need a miracle to even dream of doing such a thing. You're friend over there is just one of the lucky ones. I don't know what kind of person you are, you could be a grandmaster martial artist in your old world but is worthless in front of the New Gods."

"Whatever, no need to be so mean about it. Anyway, let's hear what the bad news is." 

"The bad news is after killing a New God, one of the parents of that New God also known as an Old God will surely show up. Unlike those New Gods, Old Gods are truly impossible to kill even with the powers acquired from a New God. If you face them now, they won't hold back and torture you until you wish for the release of death."
