Hey guys, update here. So like...I've been busy and seeing some of the review on the previous update, I decided to let my sister help me out. No, it's not that big of a help. Mostly she just write down what I either say or copy the ones I written on a paper so the updates won't be as long as before so yay for the story!
Let us start!

Chapter 37: Your Desire, My Desire, Our Desire
I made a small huff as I rubbed the sweat of my forehead. It was hard making the model of a new body you know? It's just a shell though, I'll be putting the essence when the main shell is ready. Avenger took notice of my pausing a bit and said, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing...just thinking of a way to process things faster."
"Faster?"
"Well...the USUAL process is to make it from an embryo and let it grow as if it was inside a womb."
"Ah...I take it that it's time consuming?"
"Exactly. Nine months is an extremely long time. I've been going through Papa's book to find a faster process and of course, I did find a way."
"Then?"
"Oh no, nothing is wrong. It's just I want to bring Yuuya at the age of he is now, seventeen. I'll need to mold the shell, which of course is soon to be his new body, to his original appearance."
"That's easy for me to do."
"Yes yes, I know, you are his half and stuff but...what comes next after the molding is the hard part."
"?"
"To make a Homunculus is but giving birth to a new life...but what it's a Homunculus with an old life?"
"Ah...so you want his soul."
"Exactly. Of course, I could just go to Heaven or Hell to get it but it's too risky. I'll need to make it come here instead!"
"So...what are you going to do? Break into the Well of Souls? The Realm of the Dead?"
"Nope. Yuuya is a Christian therefore his Soul goes to the afterlife, the place before Heaven and Hell. I have two ways to do bring his soul here."
"And that is..."
"One!" I said as I pointed at Yuuya's arm in a water tube. "Use that as a relic. By doing so, I'll force summon the power of this 'World' to call upon his Soul, there I'll place it in a vessel which is his new body and done, he's revived."
"There's a problem in this method I assume?"
"Yes. By summoning him as a Relic, I'll revive him under the status of-"
"Either a Heroic Spirit or a Counter Force Guardian."
"Bingo! I don't want that. I wish to fully revive him as his own person and not something bound to the world nor the Grail or something..."
"What is your course of action then?"
"Simple, I'll go to the person who resides over the Souls of this world."
"...ah...Death is it? THE Death?"
"Yep! Although I don't know what form he or she is in now."
"And how do you plan on meeting her?"
"Simple." I said as I pointed at a large, black coloured magic crest at the back of the room. "A few days ago, I made that. It's one of Papa's magic that can call upon Death, or at least traverse to where he or she is now."
Avenger tilt her head and said, "Why didn't you do it before?"
"I'll need to mold his body first, THEN I'll go. Wouldn't want him to live in a small body forever right?"
Avenger rolled her eyes.
And thus, after three hard days of non sleeping hard work, I finally finished Yuuya's new body. It doesn't have any organs...yet. Once I put his soul and reseal back the Spirits Yuuya has, the body will 'grow' on it's own. Now THAT growing process could be long. I'll know he'll be fully grown once he open his eyes again.
I made a huff and said, "Okay then...I'm done over here."
Avenger stood up and looked at the model. At it's current state, it was the exact image of Yuuya, with the exception of his eyes and hair of course as it was empty right now.
"It's...hollow..."
"I'll need his soul to grow things back. Now then...let us proceed to the hardest part of his revival, getting his soul back!"
Avenger made a nod as she went to the black magic crest and pressed her hands into it, channeling mana to the crest. I saw it flicker a bit with black electric sparks before it glowed fully. The crest deployed a copy of itself as it floated midair followed by it making a large hole.
I tilt my head.
"Traverse it is then. I'll be right back, you have like, unlimited mana right? So keep the portal open okay?"
Avenger rolled her eyes again.
I made a giggle and without hesitation, plunged into the hole. I saw the world around me went blur before it got darker and darker and eventually, I arrived at a very dark place. It wasn't pitch black, and I could still see within my normal eyesight range. I turned around and saw the portal was still open.
I made a small nod before turning around and walked forward. While it was dull, I saw a very bright light in a distance. I wanted to take a step forward when I felt a tug at my left hand. I looked at it and slightly widen my eyes.
It was decaying.
While I didn't feel pain, I felt getting weaker slowly. Ah...so the living can't stay here long? But Papa's record stated he stayed here for a whole week!
"It was because he channeled his body with mana. He focused on his vital organs and skin therefore he managed to stay here for a whole week."
"?"
I turned around and saw a girl in a funeral dress. I tilt my head and said, "And you are...?"
"You seek me did you not...Daughter of-"
"Ah! So you're Death? Is this your form now?"
The girl made a nod and said, "What is it you seek, living being? It is still far before you're time."
"Hmm...glad to know I'll still be living longer than I expected. Anyway, I came here to pick a soul."
Death looked baffled and said, "...I may have misheard you but...did you just say you wanted to pick a soul?"
"Yep~" I replied with a grin. The girl blinked, before shaking her head. "It is but a foolish request, no...it's not even a request is it?"
"Mhm! I demand you hand me over what I want!"
"What makes you so bold that you can just ask me that? I can take your life any moment, any time and anywhere-"
"When the time comes, then it is my time. That is what an...old friend of mine said." I said with a grin again. "Until then, I'll make use of my life as how I want it to be!"
"Foolish remarks."
"Think what you will. You have long discarded your very own name so why care for a living beings affair? God is long dead, the system is broken therefore...no one needs you now. We get to choose wether we die or not right?"
Death made a heavy sigh as she said, "I always hated people like you, which is why I despise living beings..."
"Come now...let's not be salty. Just give me what I want and I'll be off!" I said as I spread my arms. Death huffed again and deployed her wings as she said, "Enough of this. Return to the world of the living mortal!"
I huffed and looked at my slowly regenerating arm and said, "Brute force it is then. Tell me, where do you keep the souls?"
Death scoffed but spread her arms as a small, dark green lantern was seen on her hip. "This lantern guides the Souls of this world, with this, you're able to call back your desired soul...but this just pointless information. You'll be dead soon."
"Oh my, how scary. Did I pissed off the high and mighty-"
"..."
"Teehee...for not finishing your sentence just now, I shall respect that and won't finish my line as well. Come Death! Let the world know that even Death itself can be crucified by the Holy Cross!"
"Huh!" She said as she pulled out modified scythe from her own shadow. "You think you stand a chance against Death itself?"
"I have the tools to kill a God." I said with a smile as purple flames ignited my feet. "I don't see why it wouldn't work on you."
Death scoffed before twirling her scythe as I braced myself. In the moment she raised her weapon, I rushed in and attempt to grab her lantern. She noticed this and twirled herself to dodge me but I grinned and thrust my hand forward as a torrent of flame shot out from her side and blasted her on the face.
She staggered and I quickly snatched the lantern and huffed. I looked at the lantern as it glowed. Was it...responding to me? Death huffed and recovered from her initial stagger. Her left side of her face was burned off as I could see her skin and skull, but it was short as it quickly grew back.
"Props to the Holy flames..."
I grinned but stared back at the lantern as the glow intensifies...and then...two astral figures got out. I quickly grabbed the one which had a humanoid shape as it was shaped into a ball. Death frowned as she said, "Two souls? What is it you truely desire girl?"
I'm...a bit confused. Wait...me? I only desired for Yuuya's soul and the only other one within me is-
"The independent avatar...Yamato no Orochi is it?"
I felt the second soul enter me and as soon as it did that, I felt a rush of power around my body, at the same time, the feeling of something trying to conquer me. I gritted my teeth before raising it, then grinned.
"Huh...so full powered Yamato no Orochi is within my disposal now? This is a useful item for my quest to change this world...at least...later..."
I threw the lantern back at Death as I looked at Yuuya's soul. It was white. Such purity...and to have gone of this world in such methods? Hmp!
I made my way to the portal as I felt my legs slowly decay. Hmm...I think I need much more mana as it seems. Death looked at me and said, "With what you just did...is...weird..."
"Hm?"
"You just held possibly an item where you can change the world and yet...you just gave it back? Just like that? Why?"
I turned around before I entered portal again and said, "A friend of mine once said that life has it's momentum. You must take that chance because momentum in life only happen once, and once its gone, you can't take it back. But of course, that depends on one's perspective isn't it? I didn't think that was the right time. Just watch as I take the world by a storm."
"..."
I made a silent nod of farewell before entering the portal.
"Oof!" I went as I arrived back in the lab. I landed on my butt as the moment I touched the ground, my feet went numb. Avenger blinked at my appearance and said, "...that was fast..."
"?"
"You've only been gone for a minute..."
"So time is different in there?"
"I guess so..."
I made a nod and stood up as Avenger closed up the portal. I slowly looked down and saw Yuuya's soul glowing. Was it the fact it was near Avenger?
Said Spirit blinked and looked at me. "I feel...a tugging sensation in my chest. What...is is that thing between your arms?"
I was about to tell her when-
"It took me a bit longer than I expected to find you. I should have used my Longinus after all."
I blinked, then grinned.
"Hmmhmm~ welcome...Eiri was it?" I said as I turned around. Sitting on top of Yuuya's tube was Eiri herself. She was in her combat outfit. I giggled and said, "What's wrong Eiri? Disappointed? Sad?"
"No...just angry...to myself that is."
"Is that so? Do tell why."
"I let this all happen to him." She said as she stood up. "The least I could do was to protect his own after life."
"Then why didn't you? Tell me Eiri, your Longinus grants the knowledge of everything when it's activated. You said yourself you knew what will happen or what has happened but why didn't you do anything?"
"I promised Yuuya I wouldn't change anyones fate in this world, which of course I can. I could have prevented his death, his misery and his sorrow and yet...I couldn't. So close yet so far."
"If you're a true friend and lover...you would have stopped it."
"And what position are you to say that to me?"
"I speak as an outsider."
"Then what's the point of doing all of this?"
"I am feeling out what my desire yearns for. I am doing things of my own free will. You claim to sustain his after life but...that's not what you really want right?"
"..."
"You want Yuuya back. Everbody wants Yuuya back. It is the desire of everyone."
"Not-"
"Hey! Don't lie to yourself!"
"...'
I made a smile and said, "It's your desire, my desire...our desire...to see him back here right?"
"!"
"And you yourself knows what's my next action right?"
"Pinning the blame on me."
"Exactly! So if you want to protect Yuuya, take on the blame! But if you don't want to...I'll turn him to my personal weapon!"
"Tch..."
I grinned. It feels...wonderful to have outplayed a person who knows everything~
Eiri hopped down and said, "I...assume you have it?"
"What's this? Are you actually letting me-"
"I'm not letting you do anything. I am but doing this as his friend and my free will."
I made a giggle but strolled to her and slowly opened my arms where his pure white soul was seen. Eiri stiffened when she saw it, then held her breath. She had a blank look and tried to reach for it but I stepped back and said, "What's wrong? Seeking forgiveness? To late!"
"..."
"Fuu...you're boring." I frowned and strolled pass by her. I looked at Avenger who nodded and said, "I'll gather the other Spirits to be resealed again."
After an hour, I stood in front of Yuuya's tube with every single of his spirits on standby. They were actually willing enough to do this. Avenger stepped inside the tube with Yuuya's soul as shr said, "My mana will be enough to seal us all. I hope you're ready."
"Ready as I ever will be." I said and stood outside the massive magic circle surrounding the tube. Eiri watched nearby with a solemn face as I huffed and said, "Okay...let's do this."
Avenger nodded and pressed the soul into the hollow body as she said, "Sealing...Activate. Activating Magic Circuits, transferring mana...synchronize complete. Invoker DNA fusion activate...synchronize complete."
A bright enveloped the area.
"Activating the tube." I said as I used my mana to activate the magic circle and tube. The glow intensifies as Avenger continued, "Deploying Inner World...synchronize complete. Invoker Command Spells activate...sealing, type, Heroic Spirits."
By this time, the bright blinded me and Eiri.
"Invoker Type: Spirit Summon. Transferring of Magic Circuits...fusion of Magic Circuits...deploying Interdimension State, transferring of old knowledge...synchronize complete."
And with her final words, the bright light enveloped the area.
I blinked as I regained my sight. I looked around and saw none of the Spirits were present and-
BLUB!
The sound of water was heard. I looked forward and saw-
"...Yuuya..." Eiri said in shock. Within the tube now lies Yuuya who is but sleeping. He looked the same except for a change of white hair and red eyes...and he seemed slightly taller.
Eiri blinked and said, "H-He didn't have any body structure...but he's a Homunculus now...does that mean..."
"Try not to think of it Eiri...Yuuya is here and that's what matter. My job here is done." I said and sat on a nearby chair. "Now go...shoo!"
Eiri ignored me but went closer to the tube. Tears feel down as she hugged the tube. "Yuuya..."
I made a small smile and said, "Yes yes, he's back. Go take him away or something."
"..."
"Oh...and make sure no one knows about this. Wouldn't want to give them anything funny right?"
Eiri made a small nod before a black magic crest was activated. Before she left, she looked at me and said, "I won't say thank you, just one question. Why?"
I smirked and said, "I...am just like you Eiri. I want to change this world with him in lead. You and I...share the same view on how we see the world. A broken one that needs to be made anew but unlike you...I don't need Yuuya. But despite than...stirring up chaos is fun time to time."
"That's not the answer I'm looking for."
"?"
"There's...a hidden motive behind this right?"
"..."
"I'll leave it at that, that's all I wanted to ask." She said and with that, she went away. I made a small laugh and said, "To take this world by a storm...I need him. To destroy the world that took him and Mama away..."
I grinned and walked away from the tube room.
"Now...where is that pesky daughter of his?"
