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



-----

As Thor sensed his Divine Spirit Vessel being slain, his face began to distort in utter disbelief and anger. The other gods at his side were no different either. They were utterly flabbergasted by the development of the situation, which brought upon them the knowledge that Maria had evolved into a being… much like the ancient Titans they had once slain.

"What sort of insanity is this?! Thor, are you sure that what you're saying is true?! That ghost… It attained the power of the Titans themselves?!" Asked the God of Light, a tall and bearded man with an eyepatch and an armor made of divine gold. Two crows sat at each of his shoulders, white and black. Both crows glared down at Thor with the same judgmental glare that his own father.

"Father! I don't really get it myself either but… There's indeed something strange! How come an Undead attained the Bloodline of the Titans?! But it is the ultimate truth! I had sensed him; it was indeed nobody else than Ymir's aura within her!" Thor protested. "How else could a mere mortal like her been able to defeat the Divine Spirit Vessel so easily?!"

The rest of the Aesir Gods started gossiping with one another. They couldn't deny that Maria had evolved into a being strong enough to defeat even Thor, but they still couldn't believe she had suddenly become a Titan. Even more because that seemed highly impossible. Maria was an Undead, and a non-corporeal one at that…

How could she even attain such a power? It was utterly impossible!

"Are you sure you're not just lying to make it seem like you were unable to fight and win against that ghost?" One of the gods asked.

"It is impossible for Ymir to be alive, we defeated him and all of the other Titans with him in the Ancient War. His corpse was used to build this world!" Another God said.

"God of Light, please punish your insolent and foolish son, who has done a terrible job at something so simple as punishing a mortal!" Said a third divine entity.

However, Odin remained in silence, his single eye flashing brightly as he contemplated what had happened. Certainly, he knew something more than the other gods didn't know, or well, most of them didn't know about.

"To be honest, Ymir is not exactly dead… Because his body was used to reconstruct the world, his life remained somehow. I have not revealed this to you lot for obvious reasons. His Soul as well, although I was able to cut it a lot, many fragments spread around and were lost." He sighed. "However, because Ymir has not shown any signs of being alive ever since his defeat, I supposed whatever remained of him was too weak to be able to do anything at all."

"What? Odin, why did you never revealed this to us?!"

"This means… Ymir was waiting for a moment like this?! Was he waiting for that ghost to evolve? But why the ghost specifically?!"

"We do know she might be the Reincarnation of the Void… Perhaps Odin was seeking a fitting vessel for the last fragment of his soul, and he found it in that ghost"

Odin sighed, glancing back at Thor.

"Although these news are frightening, and your fight has given us some new insight, Thor, you've still failed your mission." Odin said, his single eye flashing with a judgmental light.

"Father… I…! Please give me another opportunity! At the very least, I believe I could-"

"That's enough. I will be stripping you off the temporary Light Authority I've granted to you!" Odin roared, his spear hit the ground of the Heavenly Realm, as light shone brightly impacting Thor!

FLAAAASH!

In mere seconds, Thor felt as if a part of his own soul was stripped away from him!

"No, father! Don't take away this power! I…! Unggh…!"

Thor, however, could not fight his father's might, easily being weakened, as his father took away the extra power he had granted him due to his favorability. Thor still held his original authority, but without the secondary Light Authority of Odin, he was now much weaker, and now as powerful as to look down at the other Gods with him.

The other Aesir Gods glanced at Thor with pity, but he knew, deep down, they were laughing at him, ridiculing him. Thor felt frustrated, his fury and anger growing bigger and bigger as he glanced  back at the other insolent Aesir.

"Because you've been able to bring us valuable information, despite your pathetic defeat, I will forgive you." Sighed Odin. "As long as you bring me good results next time."

"Father I can go down right now and confront her! She might be strong enough to kill the divine spirit vessels but she won't be able to stand against my true power!" Thor said recklessly.

"And risk your life in the miasma-filled world below? You'll be in an utter disadvantage like that, fool!" Odin roared. "Think before you act! After the Void's interference and the many Calamities, the world below as become almost unhospitable for our divinities. However, as long as we can find vessels fitting of our divine power, then we can find a way to get to her… Nonetheless, it looks like the small time frame we had to fight her is now gone."

Suddenly, a deadly presence emerged within the Heavenly Realm, an enormous mass of millions of souls and darkness appeared, slowly shaping itself into a beautiful young lady with long gray hair and sharp red eyes. It was nobody else than Hel herself, the Goddess of Death and ruler of the underworld, Helheim.

"ODIN!" Hel roared furiously, her deathly aura spreading everywhere. The weakest of Aesir Gods ran away in fear before her mighty divinity that could even take the life out of gods themselves. "You dare try to sneak an attack on my divinely protected?! Reckless old man, are you so tired of living?!"

"Oh my, Hel…" Odin said while stroking his beard. "This is only a big misunderstanding."

Odin's cockiness only made Hel more furious.
