Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!-Chapter 685 - A Mysterious Creature!

-----

Ervas and Veronica admired the beauty of this new world. After having terraformed it and left it behind like this, many years went by without them realizing as they traveled to the other side of the Universe. Because of the difference in distance and time distances, the moment they came back here, many years had happened, perhaps millions of years, in fact.

The first thing they found strange was that the twins they left here didn't greeted them, despite the trio having tremendous presences that could easily generate some sort of response, the twins had not come to greet them or something as they believed.

Deep down, the trio began to fear that something could had happened to them while they were away, but that was impossible, they were in contact with them through their soul connection…

But they had to admit that several months ago, they stopped speaking out of the sudden as they said they went to nap… Perhaps things were doing fine, and they were just sleeping? They hoped for this, as they slowly moved towards the nearest civilization they saw around a big tree.

They hoped to find some clue about them there, before doing any intensive research… but as they watched the beauty of this new planet and the wondrous creatures on it, they also grew concerned of what might had been happening while they were not here… leaving phantom clones was impossible, the distance was way too big, and they would had lost connection too.

There was a shortcut to solve this problem though, and that was by going into the planet's newly formed Origin Core and touching it, by touching it, they would be able to see a stream of information of everything that has happened in the planet documented here, this might have some information regarding the twins and where they are.

However, the trio felt way too entailed into the nature of this planet to do this hurriedly. They walked around the vast forests for hours, watching all sorts of creatures of speculative evolution books they would only find in Earth…

However, as they walked around, they had been waiting for the little creature following them around to finally show itself, until Aurora lost her patience and extended a fleshy tentacle out of her back, grabbing whatever was lurking around behind the bushes.

"Agh! Grah! Stop! M-Monster! Let me go! Ugh…!" 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

"Look what the hook caught… What's this?" wondered Aurora, looking at the truly peculiar life form.

"I looks like those bird folk from Kritias." Said Ervas.

"But its not, its of the family of those highly derived mollusks that lost their shells." Said Veronica.

"W-What are you even talking about? And you're the weird ones!"

The creature in particular looked at simple sight like a two-legged bird. Its legs looked articulated and not tentacle-like, but at close inspection there were vestiges of tentacle-like appendages. Additionally, she was covered in black and white "feathers" which were in fact hair-like filaments that grew in these highly derived snail-squids that lost their shells.

The beak she had was not that of a bird of the beak squids and octopus develop, which sea snails here convergently developed and slowly shaped into more and more bird-like beaks. This one was a colorful yellow beak, which was covered by fleshy protuberances resembling grasping tentacles, these were the tentacles they used for senses such as smell and so on.

And then there were two vestigial wings. These snail-squid-bird people couldn't fly, and their wings had been reduced and were small, no longer as large and fleshy, but they shaped as long hooks using their last claw, they had four of them, two pairs.

It was an amazing specimen all around, and it was also sapient, it could talk a dialect the trio immediate deciphered and were able to replicate without problems.

"It is not hard to decipher your dialect, seems simple enough." said Veronica.

"Indeed, what are you by the way?" asked Ervas.

"I would ask you the same thing! I've never seen such bizarre creatures before!" said the bird girl, she had a soothing voice.

"Bizarre? I am quite pretty!" said Aurora.

"You're weird and ugly! Now let me go!" cried the girl.

She seemed young if she acted so arrogantly and childish before beings with incredible power. Or perhaps she was so weak she couldn't even discern the immense power they had and therefore was aloof of it.

"Fine, sorry." Sighed Aurora, the girl was finally let go.

"Hahh… I have to get out of here!" she said, quickly trying to run away.

"Stop for a moment, please let's talk. We are civilized aliens." Said Ervas.

"Eh? Civilized aliens? S-So you come from space?!" asked the girl.

"More or less- Hah, this was very anticlimactic, we should had done it way better. This disappoints me." Sighed Veronica.

"Don't push yourself too hard, we did a great job nonetheless." Said Ervas.

"I-I don't get what's going on…" said the bird girl.

"Well, to resume it, these two are my friends. Millions of years ago this planet was desolate, so they added some magic here, put some animals there, and also added a big sea and an atmosphere… And that's how it was done!" said Aurora. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

"W-What? You're kidding, right? That's impossible. No matter how bizarre you look you cannot possible talk this seriously. Are you taking me for a fool? You have to know I am the smartest of my class!" said the girl angrily.

"It is hard to believe, and we didn't intend to proclaim we were that to be honest." Said Ervas.

"Yeah Aurora, did you really had to tell her the truth like that? We just want to infiltrate in their society so we can find clues about Anastacia and Juliette." Sighed Veronica.

"H-Huh? You came to this world looking for the goddesses?" asked the girl.

"Goddesses?" the trio asked at the same time, the bird-like girl felt a bit intimidated by their intense glares. They were worried about the twins, but it seems that the natives of this planet recognized their names as the "goddesses"!
