Oh, right—going forward, you can call me Trina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malenia nodded, still somewhat confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't really understand why Trina had changed forms, but as long as her brother—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, as long as her sister—was happy, that was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trina stepped forward and hugged Arthur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nestled against his chest, she said softly, \"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only she and Arthur truly understood what that \"thank you\" meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, Miquella and Trina had always been a single being with two souls—two personalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't like Marika and Radagon, who fought one another for control of the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, only one of them could exist openly in the outside world at any given time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without question, it was almost always Miquella—the dominant personality—who stood at the forefront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trina's opportunities to appear were exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after Miquella left Leyndell, the Royal Capital, Trina had almost no chance at all to come into contact with the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That situation only began to change after Arthur removed Miquella from the cocoon of divine slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Miquella fell asleep, Trina could briefly emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, she never wanted outsiders to know of her existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur himself had only discovered Trina by chance—catching her secretly observing the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trina didn't want others to know she existed because, to her, it felt meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At any unknown moment, Miquella could awaken again, and she would be sent back into the dream world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Arthur had given her meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could finally walk the world as an independent individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price was Miquella's disappearance—but that didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had inherited everything Miquella was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything except his physical sex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was both Miquella and Trina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two soul-personalities fused into one, with Trina as the dominant self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why she had hugged Arthur—and why she thanked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur patted Trina on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, no need to keep thanking me,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You heard what I just told Malenia about the Zen Garden. Go explore it together for now and get familiar with the place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you as well. This is where you'll be living from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That last sentence was directed at Latenna and the jellyfish sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nothing unexpected happened, these spirit beings would be spending most of their time in the Zen Garden from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of Arthur's act of manifesting the Sacred Tree, the objects they had once used to anchor their souls had been absorbed by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashes, spirit crystals—those were all gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the Sacred Tree itself had become their foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Aureliette, who had once possessed a physical body, was now a purely spiritual being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn't really a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur's human transmutation techniques were already extremely mature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any of them wanted a body, he could create one at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur pulled Leyna over and introduced her to Trina and Malenia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Leyna. She's Rykard's daughter—so you can consider her your niece.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to Leyna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are Trina and Malenia. They're your aunts. Take them around the Garden and show them the place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this is Latenna. She's the older sister of that giant Albinauric I brought back earlier. You can take her to see her sister as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the jellyfish sisters, Arthur didn't give any specific instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were incredibly easy to please.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some time ago, he'd taken them to see the stars over Liurnia of the Lakes, and since then, they'd chosen to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their only request was to see beautiful scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Zen Garden had no shortage of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyna nodded obediently and led the group of spirits away, leaving only Arthur and Radahn behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur gazed at Elphael, now standing upon and shaped around the Sacred Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, he abandoned the idea of merging the Sacred Tree into the Erdtree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason was that he didn't want to ruin Elphael's overall aesthetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another was that the Sacred Tree now served as the anchor for Trina and the others' souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was worried that if he fused it with the Erdtree, their souls might be absorbed as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in the end, Arthur decided to leave the Sacred Tree as it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd just treat it as a uniquely styled landmark within the Zen Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Radahn slung an arm over Arthur's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I say, brother-in-law,\" he said with a grin, \"are you planning to collect all of my father's daughters in one go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey now, don't slander me. I just didn't want Ranni's siblings to die out there in the Lands Between.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radahn didn't believe a word of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd heard directly from Ranni how Arthur had dealt with their brother Rykard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mercy whatsoever—every strike full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Arthur had even extracted Rykard's power to forge Leyna a new body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now he was claiming he didn't want Ranni's siblings to die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radahn might've believed it if you removed the word siblings and just left sisters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, Radahn even wondered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his relationship with Ranni hadn't been so good, would Arthur have bothered saving him back then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radahn rolled his eyes in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then explain to me why every single person you saved just happens to be female.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their gender isn't something I get to decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radahn rolled his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even feel like calling Arthur out anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radahn swore to himself—if Miquella turning into Trina had nothing to do with Arthur, he'd go eat every single carnivorous slug in Hagrid's pumpkin patch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deciding not to pursue the topic further, Radahn said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, whatever you say. I'm going back to riding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt onto a flying steed and galloped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur watched him leave, then turned away as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The party he'd dispatched in Soda Dungeon 2 had already been defeated and returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to level them up—and send them out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advance Chapters Available on Patreon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FWhiteDevil7554\u003C\u002Fp>",1043,"2026-06-06T04:19:46.382Z",1,"novelbin.me","439deea3764fde4a93fc0a3887dc7e801330457205d8ccf7ece8f836fd641043","starting-at-hogwarts-logging-into-elden-ring-chapter-267","starting-at-hogwarts-logging-into-elden-ring-chapter-265",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-at-hogwarts-logging-into-elden-ring-cover.jpg"]
