[Meanwhile in Umbraxis]
When Ahko gets resurrected the first time, it leads to the 4 sinner gods confused. How did she resurrect like that, by punching many almost dead man-eaters, then she got resurrected? It doesn't make sense.
"She can just resurrect like that?" Cassie asked, confused.
"There's no way it's that easy in the mortal realm." Merphos said.
"Well, of course not, idiot. Nobody can just do that when nobody is using a resurrection spell!!" Cassie snapped, annoyed at Merphos's stupidness.
"But she did resurrect..." Arwen pointed out.
"That's our little girl~~ I knew she would grow up to be top tier succubus~~" Eros said, sounding proud and amused.
"But how!?" Cassie demanded to know.
"That pink haired girl must've done something, right?" Merphos guessed.
"She doesn't seem to do anything except talk to that dryad for a bit, then disappears." Arwen replied.
"It's kinda funny seeing that dryad's face dumbfounded~~" Eros commented, amused.
"Good thing we can still see her when she's in her invisible form or whatever." Arwen added.
"But then who resurrected her? Did she resurrect herself? Like us?" Merphos asked, still confused.
"This girl has so many unique abilities, it's insane." Arwen said, impressed.
"That resurrection ability or passive or whatever that is, is definitely transendent ability. No way, any unique abilities can do that." Merphos said, getting a little serious now.
"What kind of god is crazy enough to give her that? You guys didn't give her anything that stupid, right?" Arwen asked.
"We gods can't even do that, idiot. We can regenerate even if a single particle of us is the only one left, but we can't resurrect on our own." Cassie explained.
"Well, it doesn't seem like she resurrected on her own, the Dryad is working it for her." Arwen uttered.
"But there's no like ritual or anything, she just uses Ahko's hand to kill almost dead man-eaters. You telling me she resurrected from that?" Merphos argued.
"I'm so jealous she can resurrect that easily~~ Meanwhile, us takes thousands of years~..."
"It's because she ain't as strong as us." Arwen replied.
"Yeah, and like, everybody in the mortal realm can resurrect fast. Just one resurrection spell and done." Cassie added.
"She can resurrect herself and probably didn't waste so much mana or any mana at all." Arwen continued.
"I guess we picked the right girl. Maybe she can change this unbalanced shit hole." Cassie said, sounding hopeful.
"Hopefully, I have high hopes for her." Arwen agreed.
"Eventually, the saint gods will notice this, right?" Merphos asked, concerned.
"As long as she didn't become very strong in a short period of time or cause too much destruction, she already fucked it up by putting a fire in that Nature's forest." Cassie said, annoyed at Ahko's recklessness.
"She's evolving very fast, but she's so reckless." Merphos commented.
"She's reckless when she doesn't have any fucking strength or abilities to defend herself, it's so stupid." Cassie said.
"Why did she even burn the whole Gaia Forest down?" Merphos questioned.
"You didn't know what happened before that?"
"No? I was regenerating my leg." Merphos replied.
"She was like looking blankly at something, then out of nowhere she just ran so fast, then got another quest, then it leads to that forest fire." Arwen explained.
"Like, what's up with that? Can she track her slaves or something? I have never seen any mortals have an ability like that."
"That still doesn't explain why sometimes she's talking to herself."
"Not just that, even when we first start watching her, she sometimes looks at something in front of her that isn't there. I'd understand if it's like appraisal ability, but here she just looks at nothing!!" Cassie lightly shouted, confused.
"It's so weird..." Merphos muttered.
"Whatever that is, at least she's now safe from Gaia." Cassie said.
"Why's that? Gaia won't just let anybody go from that incident." Merphos asked.
"Well, she was dead. How can Gaia take revenge on a dead succubus?" Arwen said, simply.
"I guess that sounds about right... But what if she sees her alive and well again?"
"She never checks the mortal realm, like ever. She's too busy gardening her palace, she's already sick of that realm when she left the forest." Cassie replied.
"I wonder...~~ when will she get her powers back~~" Eros
"Probably soon, right?"
"Probably...."
Then, when the second resurrection happened.
"So she has resurrected a second time. Can she just keep doing that forever?" Merphos asked, a little shocked.
"God, I hope she can, she has all the time in the world if she can keep doing that." Cassie said, half joking half hopeful.
"It's lowkey kinda depressing seeing slaves used for food for her."
"Oh shut the fuck up, Arwen. It's normal in this world."
"I'm so glad she used her succubus nature to resurrect herself~~" Eros said, amused.
"She was so close to disintegrate too. I can't imagine how she will resurrect when that happened."
"Awww~~ You are so caring for her, Cassie~~~" Eros teased.
"S-Shut up!! I'm not!! If she is dead, that means our blessings are for nothing!!" Cassie shouted, flustered.
"Then we can just bless another being in the future~~ It's not like we become weaker when we bless somebody~~"
"Y-You!!"
Cassie lunged at Eros, who she playfully dodges the frustrated and a little flustered Cassie.
"It's been a hot minute since Eros teased her about her tsundereness." Arwen commented, watching the scene.
"Yeah..."
[Back to the Menry Mansion]
During a week of rest, Ahko has nothing to do other than sleeping, talking to Yue, looking at her weak stats, or sometimes talking to Ken. It was boring, she just couldn't wait to find the culprit who killed Alya and Layla. When 2 days had gone by, Ken brought her a meal. A male slave that look around 40, he looks really disheveled with his hair almost completely bald from stress. He had been knocked down by Ken before he served her the food. He looked really disgusting and smelly, but Ahko had no choice but to eat him. Good thing for her, she can use her mouth instead of her intimate areas. After she's full, the body is dragged out by Ken, and she's waiting for her power to return.
A couple of minutes before Ahko's original stats and abilities return to her based on Yue's rough estimation. Ahko is standing a bit nervously. Either when she gets her power back, there will be a huge commotion, like some explosion going on, or her power comes back smoothly. Ken is also watching from the side after informed by Yue minutes prior.
Then it happened, Ahko started convulsing and fell to the ground, she didn't know there would be pain when her power is returning, Yue didn't even mention anything. Ken quickly reacted and held on to Ahko so she wouldn't hurt herself. Yue's entire body slowly disippated to particles and joined into Ahko's body, the process didn't get seen by Ken. Ahko can feel it, everything around her feels slower. Ken looks slower for some reason. Then the pain slowed down.
"Congrats, Ahko, you can use your powers again, though your exp and levels when your powers get sealed will not return."
"I don't care, show me my stats."

For the first time in a while, Ahko smiled, a faint smile so that she wouldn't embarrass herself in front of her lord. Then she realized she was being held by him and quickly sat herself up in embarrassment.
"L-Lord!" Ahko exclaimed.
"It seems like your power has returned?"
"Y-Yes..."
"Lovely! Can I have a bit of a talk with that girl?"
"Oh... Sure, my lord..."
"Yue, come out."
"Understood."
Particles slowly came out of Ahko and started to materialize in front of Ken until she shaped herself into Yue.
"So you are inside Ahko..."
"Indeed, I am."
"Please, tell me more about yourself."
"How about we go somewhere private?"
"Hm? Sure... Ahko, you stay until I finish with her."
"Okay, my lord..."
Ken and Yue left the room and went to Ken's office.
"So, why do you want us to be more private?"
"Because I know you've manipulated her memory."
"... And what are you going to do about it?"
"Well, nothing. I'm not her slave or her friend."
"Then what are you to her?"
"Her helper... I guess..."
"Tell me more."
"The reason why she grows exponentially fast is because of me. Well, a bigger part of me, this body only existed for storing her mana back then."
"There's more of you in her?"
"Well, of course. My name is Yue, by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Yue. Say, how did you manage to communicate with me when Ahko was dead?"
"It's simple, she can't truly die. Even if you have her body incinerated, she will not die, not unless I get destroyed somehow."
"Destroyed somehow? So you are saying in this form right now, I can't hurt you?"
"Nope, I may look like I have a physical body, but it's all just mana. I can go right past you with no issue." She demonstrated by going through Ken with no issue.
"Wow, since when were you inside her?"
"When she was about to die in that little shed after your men fucked her up."
"And she gained all her strength to kill them in an instant?"
"Not quite, you see, she has to work for it, I won't give her what she wanted."
"And when she died in the Yotein Village?"
"I instructed her dryad slave to do it."
"I see... Will there be no consequences every time she dies?"
"Oh, there will be. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows for her."
"Hmm... Are you always visible to her?"
"I was, not anymore, since her body is already used to the large amount of mana, this body is no longer needed."
"So why the first time or the second time we interact, you left quickly?"
"In order to make myself visible, I have to use Ahko's mana."
"Oh, it's because her mana reserve was too little, isn't it?"
"Spot on."
"Uh huh... What is Ahko's plan right now?"
"Locate her dead slaves."
"She has an ability to do that?"
"Well, from me, not her."
"Oh, I see... So you are really like a cheat code, huh? She gained abilities and strength far beyond anyone I've ever seen, and it doesn't look like she's stopping any time soon."
"Mhm, I don't know what her next move is after getting her revenge, but hopefully she won't be so reckless now after dying twice."
"Is there even a limit for her?"
"As far as I know, probably not."
"Huh... Well, anyway, Yue. I'm glad we finally have a full conversation."
"Mhm... I'll get going now. Oh, yeah, Ahko will break that memory manipulation of yours real soon, get ready..."
"Okay... Are you sure you are her helper? Because right now you are helping her number one enemy."
"To challenge herself a bit more."
"I see..."
"See you next time? Who knows..." Yue dissipated into thin air.
