My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse

*****

"Huh!"

Kira staggered backward, holding her head, grunting. While Justin didn't have any change in his expression.

His eyelashes only blinked twice.

____

Soul Sharing commencing.

_____

The pain assaulting Kira increased and she fell to her kneel. A red liquid escaped from the corner of her lips.

A mirage of memory appeared flicking every moment on both of their heads. Since Justin was way stronger than Kira.

His ability to withstand the soul-share pain was higher than that of Kira.

As the name suggested, both parties were sharing their deepest memory.

After what seemed like forever, the soul sharing stopped. And both Kira and Justin could breathe a sigh of relief.

They both opened their eyes and stared at each other's faces. Now, they understood each other's secrets and what they'd passed through during their entire life.

Seeing another popup notification, the duo blinked. '

'As it not end.' They both thought.

A golden light fell on them and the baptism of heaven began. Subconsciously the duo closes their eyes.

Kira levitated from the ground. Her long hair swayed, shining in golden light. A First Circle appeared on her head.

The circle brightened every second while her understanding of beast taming was increasing every second.

Meanwhile, Justin's phenomenon was greater than Kira's. He was stronger and a bit closer to Third Circle's existence.

________

He only needs to kill 1 Second Existence to level up. But under the baptism of heaven caused by core power sharing.

The condition was met automatically. At once, a third circle began to form on top of his head.

His light brightened, like a sun. The golden light pierce through the sky and it could be seen far and near.

A deafening thunder sound reverberated through the sky, followed by a red bolt of lightning.

But what followed was the calm atmosphere. The cold stench of blood disappeared into thin air, leaving a heavenly fragrance that could nourish the soul.

Subconsciously, Justin's ear twitched. He heard a whisper and with every second, the whispers became clearer.

The female voice was sensational, it reached the depth of his soul. The voice continued to speak like he was teaching him.

[Be prepared.]

That were the last words he heard before the voice faded into the thin air.

Justin opened his eyes and met a dumbfounded gaze. Kira's mouth was ajar. For a couple of seconds, she didn't blink.

"Y-Y-You… Y-You've leveled up"

"I can say that to you?"

Justin's feet touched the ground gently and smiled. It was a rare smile. The three-stack golden circle above him dimmed and disappeared.

'Though all my past was seen by her. The reward was greater than I expected.' He thought happily.

___

Core powering share completed.

___

Immediately, Justin's ring on Kira's arm detached from her and flew toward Justin.

When the ring appeared on his arm, he felt a connection. A connection that wasn't his.

He raised his head and looked at Kira.

"What!" Kira pouted.

All her secrets were seen by Justin. She felt naked. She was annoyed and wanted to vent her annoyance on him

But when she remembered all his memories. She bit and swallowed her annoyance.

Compared her memory to his, was like a kid to an adult. It was incomparable.

"I know how you feel but there is nothing we could do about it," Justin said slowly.

"With you being a Second Circle existence. Our chance to survive has increased by another bar."

"Though we're forcefully bonded by some hidden power. What could we do? In the large scheme of things. We're still nothing…." He paused briefly before he continued.

"Only by getting stronger can we unravel this mystery. So it is your choice how you deal with this…."

Kira blinked her eyes staring at the young man in front of her in awe. She knew he had experienced many things far greater than his age. So his maturity was way far from his age.

She took a deep breath. She wasn't stupid. She understood what he was saying. Though she increased her strength, who knows what was waiting for in the future?

"Fine! But you're not to say anything about us being companions. And don't talk about what you see in…."

"Do I look like that sort of person?" He interrupted.

"No! but let me say my piece." She stumps her foot on the road and creates a web crack.

"You aren't like this in your memory. All this attitude started when you became a First Circle existence." She snapped.

"With what I have experienced, how do you expect me to behave?" He questioned.

Kira was silent. She had no way of refuting his claim. She opened her mouth to talk but was interrupted.

"Do you know how it feels to be trampled on, betrayed, and left hopeless?"

Through their bond, Kira could feel his conflicted emotion. She knew how difficult it was for him to bottle up all his grievances and forge forward.

Her heart stirred. It ached.

'Why am I feeling like this

She didn't know but she had a guess. It was through their bond.

"Let's forget about the past and let's look at the future. " He took a deep breath to calm his raging heartbeat.

"Indeed!" She nodded.

This was one of the things she noticed in his memory. He always forges ahead, no matter the situation.

"Are you coming to our shelter?"

"What choice do I have?"

Justin chuckled and looked at his stat.

Deep in a forest, a crack appeared in space and a tunnel was created. An eerie feeling fills the atmosphere and a being comes out of the crack.

"Earth, I've arrived."
