Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

The Void Star, Maria's "trump card" and also something that belonged to her Soul Scape. It was a mysterious and incredibly strong Spiritual Treasure with a mind of its own, equal in power to Divine Beasts if taken into consideration its high Spiritual Treasure Rank. However, it was quite the tricky entity to call help for, it would never obey her.

And it would only appear when it pleased… However, usually, that would happen whenever Maria was in great danger, or facing a foe the Void Star could actually have some fun fighting. This entity which she couldn't understand too well, still desired to prioritize their master's safety!

"You're finally here! Will you help me?"

"…"

The Void Star glared at Maria with its single crimson eye, without saying a word, without expressing any emotion. It was simply there, existing. Yet its presence alone distorted the Goddess Domain, countless cracks spreading everywhere.

"What is that thing?!" Oceania cried. "Just how many damn tricks do you have?! Give me back my Relic!!! DIE!"

The Goddess gave a tantrum as Maria saw thousands of hands made of water rush towards her, attempting to grab her and tear her to shreds. She blocked them with her many phantasmal arms that kept regrowing, bulkier and muscular looking through her Titaness transformation. The ocean water hands kept being destroyed, but more came after those.

The Void Star stared at the whale approaching, the Divine Beast attempted to swallow the Void Star and Maria in a single bite!

"GROOOHHH…!"

"…"

CHOOMP!

And they were devoured! The Goddess laughed as she saw her adorable pet finish off her foe faster than she imagined. But her laughter lasted a split of a second only before the screams of agony of her whale echoed across her Domain.

"GRUOOGGGHH… GRAAAGHH…!"

It started vomiting blood, as countless beams of pure void pierced its entire body, holes opening one after another. The monster's innards splattered across the Oceanic Domain, turning the water deep red. Oceania watched in utter horror as the pet she raised when she was a little girl died so gruesomely.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

It blew up into pieces, the Void Star surging from within its open, bleeding maws, as Maria stood right above it, patting her much superior "pet". A second later, she whisked her fingers, the entire whale was engulfed by a wave of Phantasmal and Death Energies, transforming into a gigantic Undead!

"[Rise]"

FLUOSH!

"NOOO! Don't you dare make him an Undead! Y-YOU MONSTERRRRR!"

As Maria traumatized the goddess, the Domain continued to gain more and more cracks. The goddess started losing her mind. A gigantic vortex of pure water started coming from within her hair, which fused with her Domain.

"RAAAAHHH!"

Her graceful appearance dissolved completely as Maria and her Void Star were expulsed from the Domain, a second later, they found the Goddess Avatar and the Domain fused together, into a gigantic chimeric titan made of Azure Divinity. Resembling a fusion of every sea lifeform imaginable.

"You've forced my hand, you monster! This is the [Embodiment of my Divinity]! My ultimate form! I will drown not only this city, but the whole desert!" Laughed Oceania, her monstrous form quickly rushing towards Maria, clashing against her. "Hahahaha! Isn't this what you wanted?! HUH?!"

Her gigantic tentacles clashed against Maria one after another, each impact was like a tsunami that came down, torrentially drowning it all. Maria's entire body was taking enormous damage as she kept regenerating to fight her off. But the pressure of the water was overwhelming, she couldn't even swim through it.

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

However, she wasn't alone. The moment she was expulsed of the Domain, the rest of her party acted! Celes' group instantly got to work, controlling the incoming oceanic attacks and pushing them back to Oceania.

At the same time, Tear froze the waters around her by channeling all her powers and Mana, and then transformed them into a giant hand, punching the goddess enormous body. Each punch with these Frozen Fists froze through her own water-made body.

"Don't give up, Maria!" Tear roared.

"We're here to support you, auntie!" Celes cried.

"You can do this!" Nia said.

"Mom, do it!" Laura roared.

"You can do it!" Takeshi cried.

As Maria heard the cheers of her friends, she smiled, her eyes flashing with bright red light. Her entire body continued growing larger, and larger, and larger. The Void Star continued firing beams of void, weakening and distracting Oceania, while Maria's body matched her size.

"Oceania, your end is NOW!"

Her two weapons fused with her soul and then with the trident she stole from Oceania. Her Poison Spirit also flew into the fusion of weapons and divine powers, converging together into a brand-new weapon, a gigantic spear with three tips of a metallic purple, black, and crimson color. Big enough to pierce the heavens and kill the gods.

[The Powers of your Skills, Divinities, and Mana have temporarily fused all your weapons and your Divine Spirit into the Legendary Divine Spirit Relic: [God-Slaying Spear Trident Of Chaotic Void: Ginnungagap]!]

[The power of the [God-Slaying Spear Trident Of Chaotic Void: Ginnungagap] has been activated! The [Sea of Eternal Void] encompasses you and your foe! All of your foe's stats and divine powers have been reduced by -50%! Whenever they touch the Sea of Eternal Void, their Divine Energy is drained constantly.]

[Duration: 5 Minutes.]

Maria's powers combined together to create an ultimate temporary divine relic! Even her Divine Spirit was within it, fusing their very soul into her weapon. The Void Star itself fueled the weapon's power, as she noticed threads of darkness rushing into it.

"You should have never descended, you dumb bitch."

Maria appeared above the Goddess monstrous form as she struggled against her allies. Her gigantic spear trident piercing through her countless heads as explosions of chaos and void echoed across the skies and the ground below.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"AAARRGGHH!"

Oceania struggled, her Divine Embodiment Body constantly regenerating more and more, while Maria kept slicing through her! For a moment, it seemed as if both were on a stalemate.

However, that didn't last long.

Maria noticed five powerful presences arriving from the skies!
