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

Chapter 1124: No Plans So Far



After the conversations with Violet, and everything else, I quickly made her some new clothes. Something easy made out of my Shadow Threads. It was a pair of black boots, black thighs, a black leather mini skirt, a white blouse, and jacket, she looked really stylish with that.

Once finally done, we walked outside my Shadow Realm, now bringing with ourselves yet another new companion, and a big and strong one, a powerful dragon. While I healed her, I gave myself a few liberties, boosting her power along the way using high quality materials and by imbuing her with a large quantity of my Elemental Essence and Mana.

She was much stronger than before she was captured by the Vampires now, though I haven't looked at her Status in specific, I can confidently say she's at least at the SS Rank Level at the very least, enough to be a very strong companion.

Once we walked outside, we found ourselves in the surrounding garden of the Aquarose Kingdom Castle, the garden was composed of lots of aquatic plants and corals, making it extremely colorful.

"Woah, what is this place?! So pretty!" Violet looked around. "Right, you didn't even tell me where we are right now!"

"We are in the Kingdom of Aquarose, made by mermen and mermaids," said Lucifer.

"It is a city under the sea!" I said. "Pretty cool, right? Nyx and the children love the place." "Yeah!" Nyx nodded.

At the distance was the rest of our family, mostly scattered around the entire garden, playing, spending time alone, or snacking.

"Aquarose? I had no idea such a place even existed!" said Violet. "Incredible... So why are you here though?"

"Long story short, we were invited here to deal with a little thing," I said. "Some big monster of the past, sealed. And then unsealed by a falling star of sorts... We came here when there were several dungeon portals bringing thousands of monsters, we killed them all and then finally reached the King and the Queen, and we've been solving their problems for now, and getting paid well."

"Interesting..." Violet nodded. "Are you taking responsibility for something?"

"Yes, I did kill the Goddess of the Sea and took her throne, so I'm going to do some good in the sea while I'm at it," I said. "Once we're done with this, we're back home for a little while, to prepare for what's coming."

"The Empire of Light?" Violet wondered.

"Of course, those bastards have yet to die," Lucifer nodded. "They killed us all back then, and they have grown even more corrupted since then, cooperating with the Vampires, using the Evil God Fragments, and Odin is a rampant madman of a God, we even discovered the origin of the Gods themselves."

"Origins?" Violet wondered.

"I suppose you've never heard of the Tower, right Violet? About how Yggdrasil is nothing but Floor 50 of this tower, which harbors 100 floors? I don't know if each floor is a new world, but there's at least over ten worlds connected to the entire tower." I explained.

"W-What...?!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The Gods we've known this entire time, Odin and his children, and many of his allies' ones, were all "Players", a name given to those that climb the tower and have unlocked their Soul Books, a power the Tower grants for any world within it to develop and grow," Lucifer explained. "They're usurpers, they killed our original Gods, the Divine Dragons, and the Titans, and took their Divine Thrones in the world of Yggdrasil. They have been actively working on convincing the population that they were always the Gods of this world, and they even made a whole fake story about them being born out of Yggdrasil, no less."

"T-This can't be..." Violet muttered. "Our whole world, everything has always been... a farse? Something fake made by them?"

"I wouldn't say everything is fake, but history as a whole might be," I nodded. "We've killed two Gods; Odin is certainly not happy about that either. He'll go mad, and the imminent war against the Empire of Light is coming soon, a war we'll either start ourselves, or that the Gods will bring to our doors."

"What... is your plan?" wondered Violet.

"Right now, we don't particularly have any plan," said Lucifer. "But there will be a meeting between all the nobles and leaders of the entirety of Midgard, including the many Dukes and Princes, other allied nations too. We plan to take advantage of that, infiltrate the entire thing, destroy the problem from the root, and free Yggdrasil from all these corrupt bastards."

"The Gods will certainly come down once they see us there, we'll kill like a hundred birds with a single, big stone," I smiled.

"It is quite the far-fetched plan, and it also feels like you barely know if it'll ever work!" said Violet. "But... I guess it is better than nothing, indeed."

"Jonathan is here with us," I said. "He's a Hero, a former Hero, and also my boyfriend when I was alive, and now... Well, I suppose he is my second boyfriend now."

"Second?!" Violet wondered. "Huh? Ppfff... Hahaha! I can't believe it, Lucifer, you're actually Maria's concubine? I thought it was the other way around! So she has many?"

"S-Shut up! There's nothing to laugh about it! Maria is strong and deserves many partners, if so she wants, there is nothing in our culture against it, so drop it..." Lucifer felt slightly embarrassed.

"Mama has many wives too! Auntie Partner is nice and tomboyish! She's strong! Then there's auntie Emeraldine, she's so gentle and nice! And then there's auntie Nia, she's mommy of Celes, and she's very nice like auntie Emeraldine!" said Nyx, she liked the big family.

"I-I see... What about your uncle Jonathan? I am not too fond of heroes..." sighed Violet. "I wouldn't blame you, seeing how they were the reason you died, and everyone else died too..." I sighed. "But rest assured, Jonathan is someone we can all trust, and he's good. Ah, right... there's also the issue with the Vampires, but I think they have a similar goal to ours, so we might end up meeting once the war begins. If we become allies or foes, that'll be decided there. But we've killed half of their forces by now."

"S-So many things to keep track on!" Violet groaned. "My head... I need something to eat, sweet if possible."

"Hahah, okay, how about ice cream?" I laughed. "Everyone! Who wants ice cream?"

Like that, we decided to eat ice cream before dinner, gathering around in the garden, with the ice magic of Tear, we made a lot of flavors of ice, her magic was very useful.

And while we ate, we also introduced Violet to everyone, and everyone introduced themselves to her. We also were able to tell her more about literally everything, and also about Jonathan and everything he knew about the Empire of Light.

When it got late, we moved back to the castle where we decided to have dinner with the King, the Queen, and the princesses and their guards. In there we talked more about the crown of Atlantis and its potential powers, and also I tried to ask them for anything else they knew about that sealed monsters.
