Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army! Chapter 977 Time To Eat Some Demonic Death Fruits

-----

As I Heard the sound of glass breaking as my soul shattered, I woke up. My eyes opened wide in surprise. I sat down over my bed, looking around. I swiftly checked my soul, trying to see if everything was okay. And there wasn't anything weird, or bad. I couldn't find a single crack.

I was completely fine.

It was truly all a dream. A wicked dream I was unable to wake up until the last minute. But… I also feel like it wasn't completely just a Dream. The One, if he's truly God, might exist in any form of himself. aning that the Dream I saw was also him. And he tried to break through the boundaries of imagination inside a dream to destroy before I beca a greater threat.

He was soone so passive that didn't even react when his children asked him questions, but when it ca to , soone just watching… He imdiately attempted to kill ; no thought given. It was as if I was soone he had to exterminate no matter what.

Should I feel happy about that or depressed?

It ans I am soone that could beco strong enough to be a threat to him. But it also ans I might beco targeted by him even more, as I climb the Tower. I have no idea which Floor is the World of Yggdrasil at, but it shouldn't be too low. At least I won't have to climb 100 floors to get there.

Ah, am I already considering doing it? I haven't even found my brother yet! That damn Michael, influencing in his weird ways. He must be so sort of masterful manipulator or whatnot, that bastard.

["You had an awful dream…"]

"You saw it too?!" I whispered to myself.

["Sowhat. It seems the mory leaks of my data bank entered your own soul. All because your soul is so strange, it mixes with the System. The boundaries that should separate the two of us are nonexistent, so we are stuck together as a single entity, in a way. Therefore, sotis, my own mories might leak into your own, appearing as dreams."]

"That's fucked up! I didn't ask for this!"

["I'm sorry but you'll have to just accept it."] He seed to be laughing.

"…So, you went through all of that? Why?" I asked him.

["I can't rember well…"]

"I rember it well. It was because you were trying to stop the worlds from being destroyed, isn't it? This Tower… it is not just a bridge between worlds. It filters them, isn't it?"

["It's amazing how much you figured out."]

"There are only one hundred floors… Worlds that are too weak after given enough ti end up being destroyed, is it not?"

["No, they aren't just destroyed… I believe they're feed to sothing else."]

"Sothing… else?"

["The Void"]

"Void?"

["That's all I know… The Void, whatever it is… It is sothing above the Tower. Maybe, above my father."]

"A-Above that monster?!"

["But we have so little information that all of this is just speculative. Don't overthink it."]

"Ugh…"

I felt slightly annoyed and sickly. That nightmare really fucked up a lot. I rested back in the bed. Thinking about many things. But the more I overthought it, the more I felt miserable. Can I even do all these things I want to accomplish?

And in that mont, I felt Eraldine's arms wrapping around my own as she cuddled in the bed. Partner was right at my other side, doing the sa. And then I noticed Lucifer peacefully dozing, Jonathan in another bed. And then I saw Nyx cuddling with her father.

Seeing all of them, my dear family, I slowly felt better. I wasn't alone… I was with them. I had them with . And I don't need to hurry, I don't need to overthink things. Let's slowly do it, one step at a ti. First things first, this city.

No matter what, the Saintess is going down tonight, and this city will be freed from the Church's tyranny. And I will kill the damn Warlocks. And be fucking done with it. Oh, and the Dark Pest? I don't care. Co, I'll kill you too.

But I need more power. With all my equipnt, I got my stats covered. Their abilities are good too, a lot of resistances, and boosting my spells and powers. But I still need to improve upon my already existing Skills.

I need these fruits.

-----

[Demonic Death Fruit (S Grade)]

A Demonic Fruit harvested from the [Demonic Tree of Death: Qliphoth], it contains a large quantity of corrupted mana, Miasma, and the Souls of the Dead. Depending on who consus it, it has a variety of effects.

If eaten by Undead, can slightly increase their stats permanently, help them develop a Skill, or even Evolve.

If eaten by a Living Being, it can either help them develop resistance to Death and Darkness Elents, and if they're about to die, it could painlessly transform them into high ranked Undead.

-----

I have been slowly accumulating these. I now have 27 of them. Eating a single one gave thousands of stats and often evolved a skill too. If I eat them all, how strong can I get?

"No, I have to share them…"

I decided to divide them. I have to feed so to my Undead allies. Lucifer, Partner, and Nyx are all getting two at the very least. That's six. Fabian's friends should get one too. And Catarina too, she's an Undead after all. I don't know if it works on Chiras, but I don't think so, it says explicitly that only on Undead.

Okay, so two for Lucifer, Partner, and Nyx, who all still count as "Undead". Nyx is a rather special case, being half-undead because of being a phantasmal being. That's six fruits, plus Catarina, her dog, and Fabian's four friends, another six. Twelve fruits should go for all of them. That leaves with fifteen for myself.

Alright, ti to feast. I need as much power as I can get. I can't level up anymore, but that doesn't an I can't continue growing stronger. Let's evolve all the damned Skills!

And then, I'll devour that Saintess' Divinity and evolve, no matter what.
