Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 1531  The Fallen Goddess

-----

The moment I heard the word "Zipangu" I remembered a few things that the Dream Fox Venerable told me about her previous life. Like me, she was a reincarnated soul from another world. But unlike the majority of reincarnated souls, she wasn't from Earth, she came from another Fantasy World, one that aligned a lot with what I know would be considered "Japanese Mythology" back on Earth, Zipangu.

She told me she was some sort of Priestess in that world, and that she died after her entire village was overrun by Evil Yokai controlled by a "Vile Demon King" named Oda Nobunaga. Now, I am fairly sure Oda Nobunaga is a historical figure in Japan, not some sort of myth! So, does this means Zipangu also possess parallel versions of important historical figures? Well, its better to not overthink it.

But these Divine Beast Spirits, all originate from Zipangu apparently. I have no idea how they got here though, and why they chose Yuki aside from her being "special" or something. I need more answers, this is getting confusing.

"So you come from another world?" Benladann stole the words out of my mouth.

"Yes, we do. We landed here after we escaped the perverse claws of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven…" Sighed the Tiger.

"There are two others with us, they're dormant within Yuki's soul." The phoenix said. "Once we reached these lands, we traveled sneakily, trying to find someone compatible so we could create a pact. We never imagined we would find someone so compatible as her. I swear, we didn't realize her soul was special until quite late."

"Special?" I asked. "How so? And how did you get from Zipangu to here?"

"Well, to sum it up, her soul has been made of a fragment of our Goddess' soul." The Phoenix spoke. "Our Divine Goddess of the Sun and the Empress of Heaven of Zipangu, Amaterasu-sama."

"Wait, what?!"

Not even I could escape that reaction, my face was twisting in utter disbelief like never before. We knew Yuki had talent since she was a little animal, but to this freaking extent?! Her soul was a small fragment of a goddess from another world? Doesn't this feel all too far-fetched? Well, sometimes they say reality is more ridiculous than fiction. "I know it sounds ridiculous and all, but it's the truth!" Said the Tiger. "So please, do not be so disrespectful with our Goddess anymore. I know she is your companion, but from now on, it would be nice if you addressed her as "Amaterasu-sama" and bowed before meeting her. Of course, also offer her your best foods and riches."

"Hey Tiger, I don't think that'll work with them…" The Phoenix face-palmed with her wings.

"Pppff… HAHAHAH!"

I also joined the laughter. Nobody took this seriously. Calling Yuki as if she were the boss now? We love her and appreciate her, but there's no way we'll just do that. Wasn't that tiger too cocky?

"H-Hey you bastard! Why did you had to say that out of nowhere?!" Yuki groaned. "You're embarrassing me in front of my friends! We're equals here, nobody will ever address me as if I was their goddess or something. I also don't even remember being your goddess, so I don't feel like being called Amaterasu or whatever. Call me Yuki! That's the name Drake, my Master, gave me."

"B-But…!" The Tiger complained, but eventually he gave up and bowed before her. "Very well, Amaterasu-sama. I shall do as you say."

"Zipangu, huh?" Suddenly, the Little Belle appeared sitting over my head. "I should call mom for this; she'll get happy to know about her original world! Wait a bit."

FLASH!

She suddenly disappeared amidst a pink cloud of dreams. And then reappeared a few seconds later, bringing along a Divine Avatar made out of the Divinity and Astral Projection of the Dream Fox Venerable, like she had sometimes appeared before. The Frost Queen appeared too because she heard the commotion, but remained in silence, only watching.

"What's going on, Belle? This better be worth my time! I was taking such a good nap!" The Venerable complained, appearing in front of everyone.

Her beautiful appearance, even if ghostly, surprised a lot those that have never seen her before. Yuki directed her gaze at her confused, but the Venerable slowly approached her and the spirits in silence.

"Oh, I see… I see how it is." She giggled deviously, her long, pink-colored fox ears atop her head twitched playfully. "Oh dear, to think a Fragment of Amaterasu-sama would end reincarnated all the way here in Yggdrasil. But if you truly are one, why didn't you receive a Unique Skill then?"

"Huh? Eh?! S-She figured that out already?!" Yuki was left flabbergasted after realizing that, stepping back after finding the Real Belle quite creepy. "You're a bit creepy, fox lady…"

"Great Venerable for you." Belle giggled, touching Yuki's nose playfully, and then she gazed at the two spirits. "So you're the Divine Beast Spirits of Amaterasu, isn't it? The Four of you- No, two? The other two are asleep, I see. Too weak of a vessel yet? Why don't you change sides? I could become a much better vessel for you. In my past life, I was a powerful priestess that had contracted many of such Spirits to fight the Yokai, the Oni, Tengu, and other Yokai."

"No thank you." Said the Tiger. "We don't really know who you are, fox lady… But Amaterasu-sama here is who we care about!"

"We would never betray our loyalty towards her." Sighed the Phoenix.

"Oh well, worth a shot." Giggled the Venerable, noticing everyone was dead silent. "What? Did a cat eat your tongue? Why so silent?"

"Nothing, its just that you just come here, and begin doing things…" Yuki said with a rather annoyed expression. "A-Anyways, back to the main topic. Err, can you two tell us how you got here and… Why is Zipangu's fate so urgent?"

"Well… It is a lot to unwind, but we'll tell you resumed version of it."
