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

-----

"Can't you at least tell me what's my Divine Concept?" I wondered.

[I can't, it still being comprehended. But it has to do with you, with what you are, with what you've become… It is a personal power born within you.]

"I wonder… Can other beings possess these? What about my friends and family?" I wondered.

[They might all be developing one without realizing as well…]

"However, there are special cases when living beings are born with Divine Concepts which they can use already, although they aren't fully comprehended, so they're weaker."

Suddenly, Tyr appeared in front of me.

"Tyr…" I said. "Aren't you tired? I used a lot of your powers in that battle…"

"I'm fine." He said. "More importantly, your [Divine Ember] is growing stronger, your Divine Concept is being formed inside of it. The more you comprehend this power, the more you'll get closer to Ascension."

"I see… I thought I only needed Divinities for that." I said while wondering.

"Divinities are Awakened Powers that gain Divine Power, they're different and even without Ascending, you can posses a few if your Affinity to certain elements is high enough, and you have enough Magic Power." Tyr explained. "I know I make it sound easy, but it is extremely hard to get. Most people are born with Level Caps anyways, so it's usually impossible for them to reach S Rank levels of strength to begin with."

"Yeah, I guess you're right…" I sighed. "Though, I can break other people's level cap, no?"

[It's the part of the effects of some of your Titles, those you influence and make your followers through Hel's Divine Authority as your backer, can have their Level Cap broken over time, and grow stronger beyond their limits.]

The System and Tyr seemed rather in synch over how they explained things. I guess they must have become good pals whenever I'm not paying attention!

Anyways, thanks to those Titles I received from Hel, I can influence how people evolve and gain skills, just as it has happened to Lucifer, Emeraldine, Partner, and many others.

They don't even need to be Undead either, just grow close to me, or that I consider as my allies, family, or friends.

I guess this must be the power of a Saintess, right? Because I do have a similar Title… Yep, [Saint of Death: Lv8] is a Title Skill I possess.

So technically I was a Saintess this whole time!

[I am surprised you've just realized that it is one of the reasons why you can do the things you can do. Hel chose you as her Saintess long ago.]

"Unlike Heroes, Saints are even more influential, usually they're strong and can help Heroes grow and develop. Your friends, family, hell, even your kid could all be considered "Heroes" of Hel you're helping to grow." Tyr explained. "That Emilia bitch too, is most likely doing something similar so her Paladins became as strong as they are. But she seems too selfish, so she only helps grow those that have already become her dogs."

"Uwah, I'm a Saintess! Maybe I should wear some saintly clothes and all!" I wondered, talking silly things trying to make myself feel a bit better after everything. "Hahh… Who am I tricking? I'm really sad and tired. Is Nyx okay?"

I checked my shadows, finding everyone being just fine, most were unconscious and asleep. I caressed my little Nyx's face as she slept soundly, she was fine and healthy, but I was so worried nonetheless…

"My little treasure… I'm so sorry for not being there for you." I sighed, looking at her. "I'll bring you to a nice and comfy bed. Let's take it easy for a little while."

As I embraced her in my endless shadows so she could sleep comfortable, Arachne popped out from them, yawning. She had been sleeping for a while now.

"Yawn… Mama?" She wondered, tilting her head. "Hi!"

"H-Hello Arachne." I said. "Ugh, I wish you could had been there to help! You sleep too much, don't you?"

"Huh?" She titled her head, confused. "I did… I was sleepy after fighting a lot. My body uses a lot of Mana I think…"

"And well, I guess she and your daughter are what I said before, born with talent and power, with divinities and even Divine Concepts within them." Tyr suddenly explained. "However it usually comes with drawbacks. Arachne's drawback is her drowsiness and exhaustion after fighting for a while, your daughter drawback is that it is hard for her to develop her abilities unless she risks her life constantly. And well, she kind of awakened something."

"She did?!" I wondered. "Ah, right, Arachne, wanna hang out? Or do you want to go sleep again?"

"I'm hungy, so I'll hang out!" She said with a smile.

She was so cute too! I guess she's like my daughter before I even had Nyx… And she's probably the strongest Calamity in Midgard.

"Okay dear." I giggled, patting her head. "Will you help us in the next fights? We'll have to fight a lot of baddies…"

"Sure!" Arachne nodded immediately. "I'll do what I can. My Spiders can fight too! I can summon them, right?"

"S-Sure, but later." I smiled.

"Heeey! Maria!" Emeraldine's voice echoed from behind me.

"You're fine! And what about Catarina?!" Partner rushed down towards me.

"Maria!" Lucifer hugged me alongside Emeraldine and Partner. "I'm glad you're okay…"

"Hahaha, you guys, I'm fine! Ain't no way that bastard would have ever defeated me, I'm pretty overpowered." I smiled pridefully. "However… There's someone here that hasn't talked at all." I looked at Catarina, who was now a red-colored ghost.

Her physique had changed a lot, looking muscular and red-

skinned, with horns, and wearing barely any shorts and a black cloth covering her abundant breasts.

"I've just been thinking… But yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry." She smiled calmly.

"She really became a ghost!" Emeraldine said in surprise. "Is she at the level of a ghost that you are?"

"Like turning into physical and all?" I wondered. "Yeah, or her physical attacks wouldn't be as powerful… So? Want a body or is that form fine by you?"

"I've never felt more freer than in this shape… It feels like I've finally left behind my burdens, I'll stay like this." Catarina decided.
