Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 1371: Selene's True Power



The moment the Triad Spirit Contract was formed, Selene suddenly submerged into a sea of darkness, the memories of the two Spirits surged through her mind, as she saw part of their lives, and even their origins.

From Yggdra's origins as a tree that was taken care by Sylphy, the "goddess" she praised so much, when she was nothing but a cute and little girl, of how her love and abilities slowly changed that small seed she got from an apple into something different.

Slowly Yggdra grew into a beautiful spirit tree, which over the years, only expanded her horizons, creating many children that were also at the same time connected to her through an enormous forest that covered a large part of the Floating Continent of Cloudia.

She could feel it, Yggdra's tremendous powers, and despite her young age for a tree, the "ancientness" and "wisdom" that she exuded, which greatly surpassed her. It was as if she was getting to learn and know about a senior, someone much more experienced than her. And then came Naturia's memories of her past, when she was created by Yggdra, a tiny seed- shaped nature spirit, and given to Sylphy to take care of, creating her first contract with her. She saw through her memories, all the adventures of Sylphy with her, and also how Sylphy slowly grew up into the young woman she knows as her goddess.

Selene couldn't help but feel moved by such a beautiful journey, which she saw through just a couple of seconds, but that felt as if she was there with them, living such experiences.

This was an event that happened every time a familiar contract was done, memories of each member would be shared with one another.

Yggdra and Naturia also saw Selene's memories of her short life so far, especially of her origins, when she was born from the prayers and belief of the Arboren, and the magic plants planted in the farms.

In absence of Sylphy, the Arboren wished for a leader, a guider, and a spiritual protector, a guardian, and even... a mother.

And from these desires, Selene was born, their Saintess.

"I see... So that's how you were born, Selene," Yggdra nodded. "Indeed, one would say that your creation has the sole purpose of protecting these people, the Arboren. And you've dedicated yourself only for this cause alone... However, doing so would only slowly deteriorate your heart, you're still young and developing your mind and soul, to only dedicate yourself to others without taking a break and dedicating some of your life to yourself too, would only make you feel progressively worse."

"Is that so..." Selene sighed. "But they're... they're like my children, and are everything to me so... I feel guilty to even think I can't spend all my time helping them."

"Hmm, I get it, but still! Mama will help you ease that burden, Selene!" Naturia said. "So let's get along and beat that big thing, together!"

"My daughter's words might have been slightly rough, but she's not wrong," nodded Yggdra.

"Thank you..." Selene still felt slightly confused and also embarrassed of being helped so much.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, suddenly, a fourth presence emerged within her developing Soulscape, where the consciousness of Yggdra and Naturia had gone to.

FLASH!

Made of spiritual flames, the figure of a half-elf girl with long red hair and emerald eyes emerged, looking at Selene with a gentle smile.

"Selene..."

"Goddess Sylphy?!" Selene panicked. "H-How are you here? Aren't you fighting that true demon monster?!"

"I am, but through my connection with you, Yggdra, and Naturia, I was able to bring here a part of my consciousness," Sylphy said. "It's nothing too hard for me now that my soul has become so strong. But well, that's not really important right now."

Sylphy then flew towards Selene and hugged her.

"I'm sorry... for everything."

"E-Eh? Goddess Sylphy, there's nothing to be sorry about!"

"But there is... I was irresponsible, and I ended prioritizing my life rather than yours... I ended thinking that everything would always go well, because the dungeon was a confined space only I could choose to enter, but I've realized that danger can be just anywhere... So I'm sorry for being naïve, and not preparing everyone enough. And also, for giving you such a huge burden."

Selene remained in silence as she heard Sylphy speak.

"I had thought it was fine to ask you favors and stuff, you were so willing to help and everything... But I suppose that still affected you, I'm sorry..."

"N-No, please don't apologize anymore! You've given us everything, goddess... You're everything to us, so please, don't feel that way. If anything, it is my fault for not directly communicating these things. You have always worked so hard..."

"Still, I've been too selfish, I often don't even realize it. Once this is over, I'll do better and help more. We'll prepare our people, we'll become stronger together, and the city will become even bigger as well. I promise."

"Goddess..." sighed Selene. "It is fine, please, don't worry... I will do my best for you and everyone else as well. After talking with everyone, I've finally reinforced my own resolve, and realized that the "purpose" I was born with is not really the reason why I do the things I do... I might have gotten tired, perhaps but... I do love everyone, and I love to help too. It is my own decision why I do it, and even if I'll gladly take the weekends off... I'll keep helping!"

"Selene, I am too lucky to have you, thanks a lot!" Sylphy said. "I have to go now; I must defeat that true demon duke before things become even worse... It's a hard fight, but dad is here, and Felicia is soon to get here, so I have hope! For now, take this!"

Sylphy left with Selene something, a bottle with a golden, divine sap, and also a huge, green- colored crystalline branch, both emanating strong amounts of spiritual essence.

And also a third thing, a rainbow-colored jewel, a special Rainbow Spirit Stone encompassing dozens of elemental spirit stones as one.

"I've learned that your body is encompassed of plants and spirit energy, absorb these, and surpass your limits, Selene!"

Selene's body absorbed the materials, as her powers fused with Yggdra and Naturia, and her entire body grew.

RUMBLE!

A gigantic, majestic spirit tree emerged from Eden, as its new, eternal guardian.
