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

-----

The Heavenly Realm of Asgard, once created by the Ancient Titans and Dragons God as their home, and which was usurped by Odin and his "Gods" as their new home, reverberated with the furious Divine Aura of Odin, the King of the Aesir and all the Gods of Yggdrasil. His rage knew bounds as he learned that his daughter, Oceania, was felled by nobody else than a filthy ghost such as Maria, whom he deeply hated.

He actually never loved Oceania; he doesn't love any of his children. Emotions such as love are not within this ruthless monarch's mind. But his daughter's death meant something to him, it was humiliation, to have one of his family members he made sure to raise to grow powerful and mighty, to be felled like this!

It was, without a doubt, a great insult to the Aesir King.

"I can't believe it! Did Oceania… die?!"

"She was slain... impossible!"

"That ghost woman that Hel raised, was she hiding this much power?"

"She triggered a Tower Raid event already… Could she have become a Ranker?"

"But this world has been sealed of such things, it shouldn't be possible for a mere inhabitant, even less a monster, to get this powerful. Don't they all have Level Caps?"

"Level Caps can be taken away when Monsters evolve though, and she's… blessed by Hel as well, one of the Original Gods, with powers unique to them."

"Tch…! How dare that ghost! That aberrant, disgusting undead kill my daughter?! I spent so many resources in raising that damned brat, and she dies on me by descending into that pitiful saint?!" Roared Odin. "Years of raising her all wasted! And how… How dare she kill her! This world which I govern, for a mere mortal to dare go against my authority and will?!"

He had only been trying to do things indirectly because of Hel and the other surviving Gods that controlled the Underworld being a slight threat to him. And because Maria and her family and friends were all protected by Hel herself. However, once Oceania was killed, there was no longer any more doubt left within Odin's eyes.

"I will not lower myself to her level, but I will not allow you to live anymore." He roared. "Baldr, avenge your sister! Kill them all! Destroy that city, finish the job you didn't thousands of years ago!"

A tall, muscular and bulky God of Sunlight appeared, covered on golden armor. He bowed before Odin, his father, while nodding obediently, holding in his right hand a huge golden axe.

"Yes, father. I shall avenge Oceania and make sure that the ghost and her entire group is slain…" His eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "But the restraints that the World Tree puts over our souls…"

"It is strong, but you'll go with an army. It should be more than enough for you to slay her even with some of your powers sealed and weakened, isn't it?" Odin smiled, stroking his beard. "Once she's slain, bring me her shattered soul. She must be made of premium materials. I'll restore what she took from eating my daughter."

Odin waved his hand, his powerful Divine Aura expanded. The other Gods remained in awe as he unleashed more of his powers. A tremendous mass of Divinity and Spiritual Energy combined together, as over twenty Divine Spirits, all of them comparable to SS+ Rank monsters were born.

"Kill them all, don't leave a single one alive."

"Thank you, father. I will bring you her head."

Baldr swiftly stepped forwards, his golden eyes glowing with malice. Leading an army of powerful Divine Spirit Soldiers, he descended from heaven at a rapid speed, resembling shining, falling stars above the blue skies. A threat Maria didn't expect was soon arriving.

Silence finally encompassed the entire city once Oceania was finally dealt with. That bitch was sure a tough nut to crack. From a Divine Domain to transforming into a gigantic, monstrous appearance. Was that her true form, I wonder? Well, whatever the case, we're finally done here. We can finally catch a breath and relax for once.

"Hahh… Ugh, my body's overflowing with power too. I can finally evolve." I looked at my own body twist and transform slowly, it was ready to evolve. I finally had all materials to evolve too. Plus some extra as well.

Ding!

[You have met with all your evolution requirements, plus some extra, hidden evolution requirements for an even stronger evolution!]

[Absorb the Essence of the Void: 10/10]

[Absorb the Essence of the Spirits: 5/5]

[Devour S Rank Monster Cores: 10/10]

[Devour a Dimensional Artifact: 1/1]

[Devour a Divinity: 1/1]

[Comprehend a Divine Concept: 1/1] [Progress: 100%]

[Absorb two Divine Embers: 2/2]

[Kill a powerful SS Ranked otherworldly Invader: 1/1]

Hoh, so eating the Divine Embers did help! And also slaying those Vampires, well, that Vampire woman whose name I already forgot. Yeah, that woman was pretty strong, I have to admit it. Now, before that, I should first see if everyone's alright. There are people waiting inside my Shadow Realm so it would be better to quickly free them once I'm sure everything is okay.

"Is everyone alright?" I asked, as all my family and friends seemed to nod.

"Hahhh… That fight was too much." Lucifer sighed. "I can't believe we slain a Goddess too! And we aren't even Gods ourselves."

"Without Maria this would have been never possible, she's that strong." Emeraldine smiled. "And I'm sure she's only the first one of many to come, right? If we want to find the truth about this world and free it from them…"

"Yeah, I suppose she was just the beginning." I nodded. "Partner, you okay?"

"Yes… Just a bit too spent, I'm so thirsty for some blood right now." Partner looked more pale than usual. I quickly extracted the blood of the Vampires we killed and gave it to her. "Here."

"Aaaah~ Looks good!" She drank it in a second. "Hmmm, so fresh! Oh, those Vampires really have a tasty blood."

"They really do, I also drank some myself. We might go to their world and feast a bit sometime in the future." I smiled. "Now that the tower is open to us… There's no way we're staying stuck in Yggdrasil while these crazy gods look us from the sky."

FLASH!

However, our peaceful conversation was interrumpted, as the gods in question decided to descend.
