Reincarnated as a World

When the 9 Flame Queen had escaped the South Continent she had spent a considerable amount of time at the sea before encountering a small island.

This was a cause of joy for her who had spent a month of aimless flying. As a sapient being, being lonely for so long was beginning to feel depressing.

Despite the fact that residents of the Island were all Beasts, she decided to stay here to live with the intention of ruling the entire island. The Beasts would never accept her but she had a trick to overcome that.

After a full day of scouting, she had identified the most talented Beast on the island and it was a Peacock with lava affinity. The beast had black feathers with red lava-like streaks running along its body and beautiful tail-train. It’s red blazing eyes were also a sight to behold.

It was most probably a Beast that was next to the Volcano in the center of the island when the Magical Outburst occurred, achieving an Evolution into the Lava Peacock that it was now.

Although It wasn’t perfect for the 9 Flame Queen’s plans, it would do.

Swooping down from the air, she headed straight for the Peacock as if she was going to dive-bomb it.

The Peacock had looked up in astonishment but it was too late, it did not even have the time to feel fear before the 9 Flame Queen and the 9 slightly dark red fireballs that had been constantly surrounding her since her birth- collided with the Peacock.

But mysteriously, there was no explosion or even any sound. In fact, the 9 Flame Queen  along with 9 fireballs that were clearly her Demon King Armament had actually disappeared into the Peacock.

Shortly after, the Peacock began to rapidly shake all over the place as if it was having a seizure. Dark red flames also erupted from all of its orifices, creating a terrifying scene. It was as if the Peacock was being possessed.

And indeed it was.

This was one of the skills that the 9 Flame Queen’s Demon King Armament came with. It was a skill that allowed the wielder (9 Flame Queen) to possess any living being she wanted to so long as the target met the requirements.

It was unnecessary to do such a thing back in the South Continent and even if there was someone worth possessing like Emperor Asura, such people could easily resist the technique and she could possibly die as a consequence.

A Rank 6 Magic Beast peacock that was around 80 years old like this was extremely easy to possess. It’s not that the talent of the Beast was low, as a matter of fact it could be considered profoundly talented even compared to the rest of the World, but in a backwater environment like this with barely any resources, it’s growth was heavily stunted.

The fact that it even reached Rank 6 of the Magic Beast Stage was already impressive.

Soon, the Peacock began to self-destruct before being reformed with a more perfect body and in all that time, the 9 Flame Queen ‘watched’ with confusion.

She had never used this skill before and had no idea of what possession should be like, but she was sure something was wrong.

She could tell that her body was assimilating with the Peacock, twisting its nature and becoming something completely different. If that happened… How was she supposed to leave the Beast when she was done with it?

But soon… the answer came to her.

As the body of the Peacock finished changing and the surrounding dark red flames that blocked prying eyes dispersed, a flabbergasting sight was revealed.

The Peacock’s feathers had changed colour, becoming a startling crimson colour that caught the eyes whilst also being intimidating. The same lava-like streaks running down its body were still there but this time they were glowing with a hot red colour as if they contained untold fire-power.

The Peacock’s body structure had also changed, it’s head, torso and wings becoming bigger. In fact, it’s bodily structure was somewhat similar to Chad the Phoenix. But different to Chad, this new entity that could no longer be called a Peacock had a majestic tuft of feathers on its head that was split into 2 portions on each side of its head.

On top of that, the Bird’s tail-train had actually split into 9 tails. Each tail ending off in a familiar dark red fireball.

And its vermillion red eyes now look extremely daunting as they glowed with no pupil in sight.

The Bird looked like an absolute weapon of mass carnage with divine beauty, giving off extremely dense killing intent vibes that caused the residents of the entire island to freeze in fear.

This was the new 9 Flame Queen.

She was sure of it now, she had lost the ability to possess any other life form, even leaving this body was now impossible, this was the new her, there was no longer 9 Flame Queen of the Elementals. Now she was 9 Flame Queen… the Bird.

With the superior intelligence that she gained from the Divine Demon Physique, she now understood that her possession skill was somewhat of a sham.

The skill did not allow her to possess other life forms as she liked, no, it was a life-saving skill that she was supposed to use to assimilate with another life form if her life was ever in peril.

Half an hour ago when she was still assimilating, such a thought would have terrified her. It meant that she would forever have to live with a trashy Beast body and never leave. Such a future was as good as being crippled. Not because the Beast’s was actually trash but because it’s foundations were already wrecked.

Being a 77 year old Stage 6 Magic Beast was atrocious, and now it was way past the golden age of cultivation, cultivation would now be very arduous. This wasn’t the same for a 77 year old Stage 2 Elite Monster because their lifespan was incredibly long. If they had human forms, their 77 year old body wouldn’t look much different from a 16 year old Mortal human.

But now…

Things were very different. Not only was her new body’s age reset completely. She had kept the same cultivation as before. In fact she had even levelled up once, becoming a Stage 3 Elite Monster. That was the result of absorbing all the essence of a Stage 6 Magic Beast. To an Elite Monster it wasn’t much but it helped push her over the edge.

But that wasn’t it.

She could feel the power within her that far surpassed what a Stage 3 Elite Monster cultivation base should give her.

And… She wasn’t quite fully Monster anymore.
