Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!
Chapter 672 A Conversation With Hel
-----
Ding!
[The Divine Goddess [Hel, Goddess of Death and Ruler of the Underworld] is amazed by your ability to survive against the Divine Spirit Vessel of Thor.]
[She apologizes for not being able to stop the Gods before they launched their attack.]
[And she offers a compensation.]
[You received: [Hourglass of Calamity (??? Rank)] x1!]
"What the hell Hel?! You finally show your miserable self here!" I exclaimed. "So much for your Divine Protection! And what the heck is an Hourglass of Calamity?!"
"Huh? Maria? What's going on?" Lucifer wondered.
"Mama?" My little Nyx asked, as I was holding her in my arms this whole time.
"Hel? Is she talking to you again through your System power?" Asked Partner.
"Must be, right?" Emeraldine wondered.
"Hel talks with her directly?!" Brunhild was almost about to have a heart attack.
"Makes sense, Maria is way too talented and amazing to not have the goddess of the underworld talking to her ears at all times!" Laughed Helga and the other dwarves.
"Is she saying something bad?" Takeshi wondered.
"Maybe she's apologizing!" Laura said. "Though, maybe she's too prideful for that, being a goddess and all…"
"Well, I am still waiting her response, she sent me a weird item as a "compensation" for some dumb reason…" I sighed.
Ding!
[The Divine Goddess [Hel, Goddess of Death, and Ruler of the Underworld] seems to have heard your complains.]
[She cannot go into details, however, she says she was busy with her family.]
[It is important matters revolving gods, you shouldn't stick your nose there.]
"Oh yeah? THEN WHY THEY JUST TRIED TO KILL ME? And you want me not to stick my nose in there?!"
Ding!
[The Divine Goddess [Hel, Goddess of Death, and Ruler of the Underworld] sighs.]
[She says she didn't knew the Aesir Gods had such a scheme. She had talked with them previously and they agreed in leaving you alone.]
[She still partially blames you, saying that you shouldn't had absorbed two fragments of the Evil God in a row.]
"His name is Tyr! Also… yeah, I guess I did risk it myself."
Ding!
[The Divine Goddess [Hel, Goddess of Death, and Ruler of the Underworld] seems to have come to an agreement with he Aesir, for now, they should probably won't try anything funny.]
[At least not directly.]
[Be careful of external forces or threats, many of them might be controlled by them.]
"Okay, I get it… But what's the end game here? I want to kill them to be honest, would you help me?"
I ended saying something rather bold.
Ding!
[The Divine Goddess [Hel, Goddess of Death, and Ruler of the Underworld] laughs at your shamelessness.]
[Killing the Gods that maintain the world's elements would make the world enter into further chaos.]
[However, if they are really hell-bent into killing you, might as well have the power to defend yourself.]
[She explains that once you reach an higher evolution, you will be able to ascend.]
[However, further information about this is not possible to be given to a mortal.]
"Thanks for nothing I guess. You gave me a single thing though. Come on, give me more compensation! I deserve the rewards! I killed Thor's vessel and all. Aren't I awesome?"
Ding!
[The Divine Goddess [Hel, Goddess of Death, and Ruler of the Underworld] seems to think you're too greedy.]
[However, she still feels guilty, so she offers further gifts.]
[The Divine Goddess [Hel, Goddess of Death, and Ruler of the Underworld] has offered: [Ymir's Divine Crystal Shard (??? Grade)] x1, [Potion of Rotten Death (A Grade)] x1, [Skeleton Coffin of the Underworld (A Grade)] x1, and [10000000 EXP]!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 20 to Level 22!]
[All Your Stats have increased!]
"Oooh, this is more like it!" I said happily. "BUT! Not enough!"
Ding!
[The Divine Goddess [Hel, Goddess of Death, and Ruler of the Underworld] is tired of you.]
[She says that as long as you entertain her and grow stronger, she will begin sponsoring you with more rewards, such as items, or even new Skills.]
[The Divine Goddess [Hel, Goddess of Death, and Ruler of the Underworld] is beginning to think you might be a big shot in the future.]
"Heh, of course I am." I smiled back. "Well, leave it at that then, you stingy goddess. I'm off for now."
Like that, negotiations were over, I explained my family I ended getting some weird items out of her, alongside what seemed to be a shard from Ymir's Divine Crystal, it was very tiny, but it contained a lot of power.
"Y-You got a Crystal Shard from Ymir?! That's a bit insane, no?" Sighed Brunhild. "You'll keep getting amazing things… I guess Hel must be planning to use you against the Aesir in the future, or something…"
"That would certainly be quite possible." I sighed.
"It is all quite… well, hard to swallow." Sighed Emeraldine. "But after Thor's attack, nothing can get more surprising anymore."
"I agree… I want some roasted meat though." Said Partner.
"Partner you just ate though?" I asked.
"Well, for now it would be better if we go rest back at the city. The entire dungeon's cleansed and it is regenerating quite well. Are you going to leave some Undead working here?" Wondered Lucifer.
"Yeah, thanks for reminding me!" I said happily, expanding my shadows all around us as we were now in Floor 1, and bringing out a few hundred Skeletons.
Skeletons compared to zombies were cleaner, they were just dry bones without any rotten odors to them.
"Alright everyone, take your tools and begin working! Plow the land and get it ready for the plantation of fruits and veggies!" I said, as everyone quickly got to work, marching tirelessly.
"Gyuhhh… I wonder if there could be another Calamity Seed here, Master…" Said Root at my side, on his small Spirit Embodiment form.
"I don't think there's any in here, the boss wasn't a Calamity after all. I think we should go back to the city and relax." I sighed.
