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

-----

"It's you guys! You're finally here! Took you long enough!" Maria smiled confidently.

"So we're killing a goddess now?! Dammit Maria, you're getting way too ahead of yourself!" Lucifer roared. His Draconic Aura spread out towards all directions, encompassing a part of Oceania with his Abyssal Death Flames.

"She's almost at her limit! Restrain her!" Partner said. Her entire Blood and Demonic Aura converged together, further boosting her prowess. Gigantic, crimson-colored skeletal arms surged from her back, attacking the goddess while her spears constantly pierced her divine body.

"You bastards are part of the consOriginal that killed my beloved Maria, and you're also the ones that have killed so many! I won't have mercy even against a goddess!" Jonathan's divine sword shone brightly. He swung it against her a hundred times in mere seconds, a spectacle of light was unleashed, each attack resembling a small, detonating star.

"Maria! Finish her! We'll hold her own! Target her soul, shatter her to pieces!" Emeraldine was the most ferocious of them all, unexpectedly. "I am tired of them, of all their whims, of all the suffering they've brought to us! SLAY A GOD!" Her rain of spiritual divine arrows continuously bombarded Oceania, her divine body was overwhelmed from all sides.

"You don't need to say anymore!"

Maria dived into the sea of divine water that encompassed Oceania's outer body, quickly finding Emilia's body still floating on its deepest depths. Encompassed by a divine crystal of spiritual divine energy, she was being protected, like a core for the goddess to use as she pleased.

"BEGONE!"

Oceania roared with utmost fury, no longer resembling the clueless woman she was before, but a monstrous beast. Maria resisted the assault of soul attacks as her body was drilled countless times, only for her to regenerate it back with her large quantities of accumulated souls, which she consumed as she regenerated.

"Your tis now, Goddess of Water!"

Maria's spear easily pierced through all of Oceania's attacks and tricks, the Sea of Eternal Void protecting her like a veil while at the stblocking the goddess divine attacks. She barely had a few minutes left for her spear to disappear, it was now or never!

"DIE!"

With a roar full of fury while carrying the feelings of hatred, frustration, and resentment of all mortals against the gods oppressing their lives, Maria's divine spear pierced the crystal, massacring Emilia's body inside as she was splattered into a pile of flesh and innards in a single second.

CRAAASH!

However, that wasn't all, Oceania swiftly attempted to flee the moment her Saintess died, but Maria's claws extended towards her. The entire Shadow Realm encompassed the surroundings, blocking the skies for her to return! And without a proper vessel, Oceania felt the pressure of Yggdrasil's Laws weighing her down, the penalties of someone that took a Throne from a God of this world that dared to descend into the Mortal World was no laughing matter!

"You're not going anywhere, CHERE!"

Maria grasped the Goddess with her monstrous claws, hundreds of phantasmal claws resembling the fingers of skeletons, dragging her down into the depths of her dark soul. Oceania screamed in utter horror as she felt thousands of sharp fangs piercing her divine soul, tearing her down piece by piece.

"GYYAAAAH! F-FATHER! FATHEEERRR HEEEELP!"

She screamed like a little girl, despite having lived for thousands of years killing countless innocents, manipulating mortals for eons, making everyone's life a fucking hell! Maria wasn't going to let her screams even get to her. Her manipulation on Emilia had caused the death of hundreds of people in this city after the water was gated behind taxes and money. She deserved absolutely no mercy.

Only an agonizing, monstrous death! That was the only thing she deserved! To agonize until the very last spark of existence faded from her very mind!

"There is no mercy for a bitch like you! SUFFER! SUFFER THE PAIN AND AGONY YOU'VE PUT THROUGH ALL THESE PEOPLE! DIE PAINFULLY! ENGRAVE INTO YOUR MIND AS YOU DIE, AS YOUR VERY EXISTENCE FADES AWAY!"

As Oceania screamed in utter agony and pain, her soul was slowly being devoured, digested by Maria's own soul. A surge of endless power continuously overflowing through her. Her divine body was now barely half a face, and even her pretty face was now being bitten, piece by piece, tears endlessly flowing from her eyes.

"FATHEEERRRR… HEEELP!"

But nobody answered her call, heaven was blocked by an endless night made by Maria's Shadow Realm. And Maria herself only tormented her more, knowing that her father will eventually hear these words.

"You're only the first of many. We will kill all of you damned Gods, all of you that took away this world from them! We will not stop until your siblings and your father are dead! And I will make sure to devour your damned father, PIECE BY PIECE!"

"NOOOOO!!!"

Oceania's last scream reverberated across the entire desert, before her existence was completely deleted, alongside the soul of her Saintess as well, still stuck to her. Maria voraciously devoured every single piece of her, without leaving nothing behind. She was a precious resource of power, and she wasn't going to waste it.

An explosion of blinding azure light erupted from Maria as she killed Oceania's very last spark of life. The Shadow Realm cleared up, revealing the skies above. Her scream definitely reached Asgard, the Realm above Heaven where Odin and the Gods existed.

This wasn't just the first slaying of a God, but also a declaration of war against Odin and his Aesir, the monsters that conquered this once peaceful world and killed their original, gentlehearted gods, brutalizing them, enslaving them, and torturing them for thousands of years.

Retribution was finally coming after them, and Maria was not going to stop until they were all dead!

She stood above the skies, floating as her entire soul and existence started to evolve. Her Divine Ember finally blazed with full power, encompassing her entire being. She was Ascending, she was Evolving!

"Odin! You're next."

She looked directly into the skies, fully knowing the Asgardian King was watching her with his divine golden eyes.
