Regressed Reincarnation: How to Escape a Fantasy World!!

LIA'S POV:-

"All right. Then let's clean up the mess that bastard, Ladros, created here," Morpheus speaks with an enthusiastic voice as he looks at Zwain with a smile on his face.

Moving towards Zwain, Morpheus starts to speak, "I need you to capture all the Devils that escaped this city and bring them to the Lesser Leaf Forest. Take help from that guy, that guy and that girl too," as he points at Istan, Adolphus and Yavanna. Their expression turns complicated as they look at each other. Adolphus sighs while the other look at father only to see him nodding at them. Soon Zwain, along with others moved out. Then Morpheus moves in a certain direction.

After walking a considerable distance we reach an area where a shocking sight is presented in front of us. The others look slightly perplexed at the sight in front of them. At least 100 Devils are lying unconscious in an open space and about a thousand adventurers and Devils guarding them. This...is a sight to behold. Morpheus raises his hand and clicks his fingers, which produces a loud sound. Loud enough to wake up all the Devils that are unconscious. Once they wake up, they start looking around in confusion.

Soon their gazes turn towards us, only to lose consciousness once again. Those who didn't lose consciousness are pinching their cheeks only to result in their expression changing to horror every time they try to pinch their cheeks. A weird expression forms on my face as I look at the ridiculous play that has started in front of us.

'Well, it's not like it's their fault. Anyone would have lost consciousness if they were to see the 2 of their strongest enemies right in front of them. It would be more normal to consider it as a nightmare than to accept it as reality.'

I look around only to find Morpheus smiling at their act before clearing his throat and starting to speak,

"I NEED YOU TO HEAR ME OUT."

'What?!! What is this?!! What's going on here?! I am...scared of his voice...No!! What kind of voice is that?? I have never heard anything like that before,' it feels like each and every bone and muscle of my body wants to bow down to him.

"IF YOU WANT TO LIVE"

'I do! I want to live...' I couldn't help but think like that, my mind is in turmoil right now, just what is going on. I am losing control of my own body. Someone help me...Someone...I look around only to find that everyone except me, Phan, the other kid, father, mother and King Allen...is bowing to him. Even...The Royal Mages Karina and Alethia too...are bowing with one leg on the floor. Just...what is happening??

"FOLLOW ME"

At this, even I couldn't help but nod at his words. The Kings had a complicated expression on their faces but they still didn't interfere. It feels as if the heavens themselves are bestowing orders on the lower plane. I was not wrong to take him as someone equal to the Kings. The other question that comes after this is, how strong is he compared to the Elf King and the Human King.

Morpheus then starts to walk towards the Lesser Leaf Forest one step at a time and everyone starts to walk behind him. King Allen, father and mother are walking behind him too.

Soon we reach our destination and find Istan and others with a bunch of Devils tied up. From the looks on their faces, they look as if they have lost their will to live. As soon as we enter the area and come into their sight, their expression turns to that of shock then to horror. Some of them even started crying.

'Are they really Devils? or it's the Kings that are really scary?' I can't help but think like that. Looking at the situation, it is getting more and more difficult to explain. Everyone is looking at Morpheus, observing his each and every move. As if by instinct soon even the other Devils too start to look at him with a slight curious gaze.

"DO YOU WANT TO LIVE? ANSWER ME!!" Morpheus shouts with the same voice and silence engulfs the area before.

"YES!"

"YES!"

"YES!"

.

.

Everyone except the higher powers started shouting. Whether it was the adventurers or the Devils they all started shouting along with each other. It feels as if they are possessed by something. Yes! Possessed...that would be the best way to describe the feeling that I have right now.The feeling that, I want to pledge loyalty to that 'child' over there, is slowly but surely taking over me. To that monster that goes by the name of Morpheus.

Then Morpheus takes something out from his dimensional pocket. Two heads made out of wood. From the way they are carved, one is of an extremely beautiful woman. She is too beautiful...as if she were an angel, her beauty mesmerised me, even though it was made up of wood. The other figurine was not much different except it looked like it was the younger version of the women whose face we saw before.

"Who...are they?" I hear the voice of Phantasos.

'Huh? He doesn't knows?'

Even I can't help but ponder over that question. It makes things even more interesting since his brother himself does not know about them. From the looks, Phantasos himself looks mesmerised by them. Who are they and why is Morpheus showing us their faces now? What is his purpose in showing those figurines to us?

Luckily Morpheus did not kept us in dark for long. He started speaking in a normal but audible voice this time,

"They are the most important people of my life. I need you to find them if you can, spread their figurine all around the world. It's not just for the Devils and the Adventurers but also for the King of Elves and King of Humans.. I need you to spread these figurines everywhere and whoever finds them shall be given whatever he asks for," Morpheus pauses before looking around and speaking again," Even Godhood."
