Demon Lord's Reincarnation

While both Kor and Mir were still in a state of shock, Tsukiyomi and Lara's argument was becoming even more heated. Though he only understood a portion of Tsukiyomi and Lara's relationship Valdel needed to intervene before things get out of hand. 

"Um, ladies I don't know about your past lives, but Lara you keep on calling Tsukiyomi a washboard, which I'm assuming means flat-chested, but that might have been in the past. Look at her carefully now." 

Tsukiyomi and Lara stopped bickering for a while and listened to Valdel. Lara then looked at Tsukiyomi's chest and to her surprise, it was no longer flat. The image she had as she met Tsukiyomi again was that of her young self, but now that she got a closer look at Tsukiyomi, she could finally see her true look. 

The Tsukiyomi of the past was an otherworldly beauty but her overall look was that of a child around the age of thirteen or even younger. Yet the current Tsukiyomi looked to be around seventeen or older. Even Tsukiyomi herself was surprised by this sudden realization. She was in a hurry to meet up with Ren that she didn't get a good look at herself, and she was excited to meet him that she didn't realize that her body had changed over the years.

"Kukuku, it would seem that things have changed. I'm no longer a washboard as you say. Now that I look at you, I should apologize you aren't the fatty I remember anymore." 

When Lara heard what Tsukiyomi said she looked at her own body, and it was as Tsukiyomi said, unlike her last reincarnation her current body was a little bit lacking. Still, it wasn't that she had bad proportions but compared to her last reincarnation it was a step-down. 

"Hmph, well I guess you have improved, but compared to me you're still nothing much." Lara shrugged her shoulders as she replied. 

"Kukuku, it would seem that the damage in your head has doubled in this reincarnation. Don't worry as your long-time friend, rival, and companion, I will help you. I few hits to the head should do the trick." Tsukiyomi created a club. 

As the tension between the two was once again rising, the two of them looked at each other with little smiles on their faces. Seeing how the conversation was going and looking at the expression of their faces, Vadlel could only sigh as he shrugged his shoulders. 

...

While the two women were doing their own thing, Kor and Mir were having a conversation of their own. 

"Brother, I should be the one to do this." Mir was the first one to speak. Kor simply shook his head and answered. 

"This is not for you to undertake. Also didn't you hear what Ren said? He's trying to give the title of God of Light to me and not you." 

"But-" 

"Mir, I might be considered the strongest warrior of our kind, but I'm not the type to be their leader. That's your job isn't it little brother." 

When Mir heard what Kor said he bit his lips as he suppressed the emotions he felt right now. Mir then looked at Ren who was floating above them with a halo of light. 

"Tell me, Ren, once my brother becomes the God of Light will he still be himself?" 

"Well, that's an interesting question. Before I answer your question how about I ask you my own question. What do you mean by himself, do you mean will he still be Kor the wolf kin or will he be Kir the God of Light, is that what you mean? Tell me how do you define oneself?" 

"... I just want to know if he will still be my brother..." 

"Mir..." When Kor saw Mir's distress he 

"Hmmm, I see so that's what you mean. Then the answer to your question is that a portion of him will still be your brother, but most of it would disappear. Even now as I have not fully ascended as a World Deity, I can feel some of my feelings being distorted, there are even a bit of my memories that are trying to be removed. Well, I can tell you now that I am a special case. I feel if it was anyone else, then their feelings would already be distorted and most of their memories wiped out. So I guess once Kor receives the title of God of Light, some of his memories might disappear, and a few of his emotions might intensify. Overall I guess he'll somehow be him, but at the same time not him." 

When Mir heard Ren's answer he looked at his older brother and was about to say something but Kor raised his hand to stop him from talking as he spoke first. 

"Don't you worry Mir, you know me my willpower isn't something that will waver so easily. I'm sure if I try hard enough I can retain my sense of self, more than you think." 

"But what if-"

"Don't you trust me Mir?" 

When Mir saw Kor's resolve he knew that nothing he says would be able to move his big brother. As the little brother of Kor, he needed to at least show his own resolve. Mir grind his teeth as he answered with a loud voice. 

"Of course, I trust you! Leave everything to me big brother, I'll lead everyone to a better future! So you need to become our guiding light, not just for us demi-humans, but for the humans as well. So that you may fulfill your wish, we both need to do our best." Kor nodded his head as he smiled at his little brother, he then looked at Ren and spoke. 

"Ren, please hand me the title of God of Light." 

"Are you sure? This is your last chance to back out."

"It's like you said before, I need to grab hold of my dreams with my own hands. This is my chance and I'm taking it." Kor answered with the utmost confidence, making Ren grin. He then spoke the words that were relayed to him by the knowledge passed down for being a World Deity. 

"Then, I Ren relinquish my title as a World Deity, as the God of Light, and I pass it down to you, Kor. May the law of light continue to shine upon the world."
