My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death-Chapter 742 The Fragments Of The Ancient Goddess

-----

Three souls were floating around, these souls belonged to the three people they just killed. However, these souls were… strange, they had a golden glow and mystical, almost divine power dwelling within them. If what they said was true, then these people were really the fragments of the soul of an ancient goddess that governed this world, the very goddess that Miriam had been seeing through her dreams. This was, of course, something that Frank had no idea of.

Above all, the soul fragments lacked memories of their former selves, and seemed completely pure and white, as if their very selves disappeared after dying, perhaps these fragments cannot harbor their memories due to their special attributes as pieces of an ancient goddess that was defeated by the humans in the past.

"Those souls… are they truly the fragments of an ancient goddess… or something like that?" Wondered Axitl, feeling rather curious. "Can I eat?"

"No, it would be better if you didn't." Said Frank. "Recalling what they said, it seems that these soul fragments… are part of Miriam's soul."

"Wait, what?!" Asked Gwendolyn shocked. "No, I know they were into her but I thought it was due to her powers…. This is related to her powers?"

"Yes… it is a long story but I thankfully got all their memories before they died…" Sighed Frank, as he began to explain to his family what had happened. Telling them about Miriam's true identity as an ancient goddess soul fragment, and more.

"It seems there might be more of those. The Emperor said something about there being many more he already got… Perhaps how many innocent people that had no idea they were fragments of the soul of this goddess he had killed…" Sighed Frank. "These three were very wicked, but we don't know if those other people were actually like them…" f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

"T-This is quite shocking. I knew that Miriam had awesome powers, but I could had never tell that she was this powerful…" Sighed Axitl. "Sigh… Anyways, will you give the souls to her? Maybe she can grow stronger through them and awaken her memories as that goddess? If we have her in our team, we could learn more about this world's past and what's up with the evil emperor and his weird plans to… apparently do a bunch of overly complicated stuff?"

Axitl was trying her best to comprehend what was happening right now but even she was having difficulties, the plans of the Emperor, his true identity, and all the knowledge he shared with Frank were all shocking and incredibly convoluted. He just came out of nowhere announcing an incredible amount of things, and apparently the entire tournament was stopped due to his plans of wanting to get Miriam on his pile of goddess fragments.

Well, that failed at the end as Frank and his family defeated the other three fragments, retrieving them while also saving Miriam from his grasp. However, the Emperor had yet to show up at all, meaning that he went either elsewhere or had been lurking around and waiting for an opportunity to strike.

<br/>"What… does the Emperor wanted aside from Miriam?" Asked Orb. "I am very tired of these cliché evil guys in every world we go into!"

"He wanted to acquire a new and young body, so I stopped him from taking over Arthurious, who managed to run away in time…" Said Frank. "I don't know why he was obsessed with it, but he seemed to get over it very quickly, I've been sensing him moving inside the arena, he's going to the storage, he's behind the Time Stone. I acquired this knowledge from these guys…"

"The Time Stone?! Whatever he wants with that, we have to go catch him! If he-" Orb said, however, she was interrupted by Frank.

"I want all of you to go back to my Divine Realm right now. I know you're all strong… but this bastard was in another level completely. One wrong move and one of you might end up dead… I will confront him alone and you'll support me through our Connection using the Yggdrasil Tree, alright?" Said Frank. Although everyone wanted to assist him, they knew of the dangers of this monstrous enemy, and ultimately agreed.

Frank quickly put everybody inside his divine realm, where time was going way faster than outside, in this extra time, he decided to use a clone to move the three soul fragments, finding Miriam sleeping over a bed inside his divine realm's house.

"There she is…" Said Gwendolyn. "She's still sleeping? Is she alright?"

"Yeah, I checked her and she's fine." Said Frank.

"Will this actually work?" Wondered Cathyl. "I fear something bad might happen…"

"I also am rather fearful, but according to these memories I got from them, this method of fusing fragments into a living fragment has been done successfully, it doesn't cause anything bad." Said Frank. "But it might wake her up and be a bit alarmed… I doubt she'll regain her memories of her past life though."

"Hm, it is complicated, isn't it?" Sighed Clishya. "Poor Miriam…"

"Well… Let's do it." Said Frank, as the three golden sols flew towards Miriam, and then infused themselves into her chest, fusing into her soul right away, and apparently without any difficulty.

FLAAAASH!

The flash of bright light was almost blinding, but the enormous power emanating from these soul fragments was truly something of beauty. The bright golden light covered everything, as Frank and everyone else was left speechless due to the beautiful scene before their eyes… the bright light simply continued to expand, and then, it all ended concentrating within the chest of the little Miriam.

Her hair began to wave in midair as if there was a strong wind, and in the middle of her forehead, a golden mark resembling many small beasts making a circle appeared.

"Hm? Ugh…" 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

Miriam slowly woke up, opening her eyes, which shone slightly golden, surprising the rest of the people.

"W-What's happening? Ah… Where am I?"
