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

-----

"MARIAAAAA!"

Lucifer roared furiously as his draconic might erupted from within his body, rushing forward to the rescue as he body slammed the monstrous beast that the Ant Queen became, his breath attack quickly impacted against her, stronger than ever before as her body began being pushed away!

FLUOOOSSSHHH!

"SHAAAAA!"

The Ant Queen roared furiously as she greeted Lucifer with a rain of powerful blows using her countless limbs, only for Brunhild to tank the hits by using her Draconic Arts: Orichalcum Body!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Maria!" Lucifer ran to my side to help me, as he quickly grabbed every piece of me and put them all together. With his help, I was able to quickly recover most of my body back to normal.

"Uugh… Thanks." I sighed. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

"Maria, you did something too reckless now!" He said.

"I was about to win but that bastard appeared… Shit, I can't even hurt her soul…!" I sighed.

"RROOAARRR!"

Brunhild ferociously fought, unleashing countless fiery blows and explosive breath attacks against the Ant Queen, all while Lucifer looked in shock and then remembered something she said.

"My sister said that the Ant Queen was a Dungeon Core Avatar… That means that as long as the dungeon core has Mana, that thing will keep on regenerating forever, like the Flesh Dragon from back then!" Said Lucifer.

"What? So that was it…" I said, quickly remembering that. "Then… Like back then, should I attack the Dungeon Core?"

"It might seem to be the only way, but I don't want your soul to shatter again! Doesn't it hurt?!" Lucifer cried, without wanting to see me hurt myself any longer.

"It is fine… I've grown used to such a pain. Compared to the pain of losing you or anyone I love, its really nothing at all!" I said. "Don't worry, we'll get through this!" I said, quickly dividing my phantom into two, leaving one with Lucifer while my other phantasmal soul half dived underground.

My other phantom quickly covered Lucifer's entire body, forming a shadow armor that materialized through Embodiment. With that, he might be able to fight better against the Ant Queen.

"Go distract her while I take care of the Dungeon Core!" I said.

"B-But…!" He muttered. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

"Even if I fail I am right here with you, there are many things I can do, such as dividing myself!" I said. "Don't worry!"

"Very well…!" Lucifer didn't faltered any longer, as his body grew larger and larger, monstrously so, as if he was unleashing something he had not used before. His horns grew demonic and bigger, his scales became a second set of armor over his body as his tail divided into three with sharp ends, and his wings gained two enormous eyes, flashing with bright red light, as his third red eye began to glow with the pure essence of death!

"ROOAARRRR!"

He quickly summoned an enormous Phantasmal Scythe and wielded it, clashing against the Ant Queen, and beginning to chip away her flesh and exoskeleton, while her sister easily coordinated with his attacks and movements, fighting by unlashing her fire and punching the Ant Queen as hard as possible.

Meanwhile, I flew underground and quickly, and quite forcefully, I reached the depths of the dungeon! In there, I found a glowing orb of not white color like the one before, but completely black! A monstrous and phantasmal presence greeted me, the same phantasm of the evil god!

"Wait a second, that wasn't the fragment…!" I muttered in shock.

"So you've found out!" Laughed the Phantasm, completely merged with the will of the dungeon core already. "This Dungeon has sacrificed its own will to gain my power, merging my small fragment with its core! What my Avatar has is merely a secretion of it!"

"No matter, even if you're the damn evil god, I don't give a single fucking damn!" I roared furiously, reaching towards him as he immediately tried to fend me off.

"It is futile, lowly being, you're merely a resentful and wandering soul! What can a little ghost do to me?!" He laughed, his enormous quantities of miasma began to pierce through my body, it felt as if my whole being was disintegrating.

"I can do this…!"

TRUUUUMMM…!

An enormous black hole emerged within my very soul, absorbing all of the essence and power the Phantasm of the Evil God.

"Nnnggh…?! Yes, that power might be strong, but you've not have grown fast enough to fully go against me!" Laughed the Phantasm, immediately beginning to grasp my soul like the bastard did before!

"I shall shatter you a third time, this time, you will remain shattered for all eternity!" He laughed.

"I don't really care if you shit over me all you want, I've already done enough myself!" I said cheekily, as I felt my entire soul beginning to shatter apart and disintegrate.

"What gives you such confidence in the face of eternal demise?" He asked furiously.

"Well, that this is not even my main body, dumbass."

"Huh?!"

"[Undead Detonation]!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, my other half quickly glowed with bright purple light, as I forcefully encompassed the entire Dungeon Core, and then…

I detonated myself!

BOOOOOMMMM!!!

The enormous explosion, boosted by the power of my Explosion Maniac Title was powerful enough to quickly overpower the Evil God Phantasm, as countless little Phantom Familiars I divided from my other half with Lucifer began to reach the Dungeon Core, taking over it and possessing it by using [Phantasmal Puppeteer]!

"T-This is impossible! You can't simply…! Agh! Stop…! My resurrection…! I cannot simply…!"

"I don't give a damn if you're the little piece of a god or whatever, you're long dead! Stay dead!"

I unleashed the power of the [Ultimate Skill: Yog-Sothoth] once more, quickly beginning to absorb the will of the Evil God's Fragment, and all his energy became mine!

FLUOOOSSSHHH!

"Nnnggh…! Y-Youuuuu…! Aaaaggghh…!"

The agonizing scream of the small fragment of a god resonated across the entire dungeon, as I suddenly and finally managed to take over the Dungeon's Core, which now glowed with a new phantasmal aura…
