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

——

Thor the God of Thunder had decided to descend. In fact, the Aesir Gods led by Odin, the God of Light, had been keeping a close eye at Maria since she started her journey. It wasn’t abnormal for ghosts to emerge, nor for them to grow strong and become monsters and threats to humanity. But a ghost that could retain her memories, sanity, and even gain insane amounts of skills, abusing the Soul Book and even utilizing completely new Unique Skills? Now that was dangerous.

The existence of Undead in the surface, the world of the living, was a thing that had only begun happening a few thousands of years ago, when the power of the world destabilized due to the Evil God’s Fragments engulfing everything with miasma and chaos. Although Odin agreed to defeat his own son due to being a threat to his reign, he never expected Loki would utilize this opportunity to spread Chaos across the world even further.

Undead and Monsters became even more common than he and the other Aesir Gods had anticipated. After the defeat of the Ancient Titans the Gods had finally believed the world would finally be theirs. Well, they were completely wrong.

The revenge that Loki had planned was one long, and excruciating future filled with uncertainty, and Maria was the child of his cunning plans, although unexpected, it fell right into Loki’s plans, the ultimate being who could devour chaos, was an undead, held incredible powers, was amazing intelligent, and could even… devour the very fragments of the Evil God while dominating them and retaining her own personality without being corrupted.

She was… the Void.

Although the Gods kept silent about her because of Hel’s intervention, who actively protected, for some reason Hel was now busy dealing with something else, and they felt this was the perfect moment to attack before Maria could evolve again, as they already felt her powers had reached their Level Cap.

They couldn’t possibly let her reach S Rank! If they did, a threat of her level could put the entire world in danger! Even if they knew that Maria “pretended” to be good, she held within her soul an intense amount of malice, and they feared she would ultimately end up turning against the world and destroying it.

Even worse, Tyr, the former God of War and Judgement and the now Evil God dwelled within her. If she was given his memories, or if he somehow were to fully revive from within her own soul then… the Gods would regret not having dealt with her earlier.

Due to this, a decision was taken, Thor, the god most willing to step in was given divine power by his father, and then unleashed a [Divine Spirit] of his shape, controlled remotely by his own true body, which then descended into the world of Yggdrasil, breaking through the Dungeon’s walls, an act which would be completely impossible, as dungeon walls were indestructible, and then reaching up to Maria.

His plan? Completely annihilate her before Hel could retaliate against the Gods or attempt to stop them.

“Hahah… You’re really a pain in the ass…” Thor smiled, taking into a youthful and muscular form on his Divine Spirit form. “We once felled the Titans, a resurrection of the Void like you won’t be any different!”

“Resurrection of the Void?! What the heck are you on about?!” Maria panicked, her powers quickly erupting from within her body as she quickly protected her entire family and friends. “Stay behind me!”

Her soul mutated and erupted, channeling the powers of the two Evil God Fragments and activating the many other Skills while she spent millions of Mana which she constantly drained from her surroundings utilizing her Unique Skills.

Thor gathered the power of his Divine Energy and Mana, and then unleashed a devastating attack utilizing the Mjolnir copy made out of his own Divine Spirit body.

“[Mjolnir Strike]!”

TRUUUUUUMMMM…!

The hammer suddenly grew to a gargantuan size, easily as big as a mountain, which then fell directly towards Maria and anybody around her. Such a frightening attack had split entire dungeons in half and had completely blasted anybody bold enough to commit a taboo such as utilizing Evil God Fragments directly.

“PERISH!”

CRAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!

The massive hammer impacted Maria directly. Her Soul being easily dissolved into nothingness as the powerful divine attack, the elements being the complete opposite as hers, started to disintegrate her completely!

“No… Unnggh…! This… I can’t just die…! I can’t just die right now…!”

Her mind quickly began moving faster as lightning started to consume her entirely. The surroundings were all charred into nothingness, as those she was protecting screamed behind her. Nobody could fight against the direct judgement of a God, an absolute being.

However… a single word came to Maria’s mind as she resisted the all-consuming divinity of a God. Her Unique Skill [Yog-Sothoth] being the only thing capable of resisting this power enough…

And that word was…

Evolution.

“System, show me the evolution options!!! We can’t let this bastard… fucking kill me!”

The System promptly reacted.

At the rate in which she was being consumed and then regenerated, Maria only had less than forty seconds to evolve before her entire soul were to be consumed by Thor’s almighty power.

But even if she evolved… could she even fight against this all-encompassing power?

Ding!

[Kauket, the Endless Uncreated Darkness]

[Selene, the Titan Lady of the Eternal Moon]

[Ereshkigal, the First Lady of the Underworld]

[Scáthach, the Warrior Maiden of Death]

Maria’s eyes opened wide as she glanced at these four mysterious evolution options! She could recall a few of such names. They resembled those of deities from mythology.

Kauket was the God of Uncreated Darkness of Egyptian Mythology.

Selene was the Titan Goddess that was the personification of the Moon in Greek Mythology.

Ereshkigal was a Goddess of the Underworld of Mesopotamian Mythology.

And Scáthach was a War Maiden of Death, later known as a Goddess in Irish Mythology, protector, and mentor of the Irish Hero, Cú Chulainn.

Which of these four notable figures could be as strong as Maria needed them to be?
