Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 1905: Maria VS Odin [3]

-----

"HAAAAH!"

Odin roared, unleashing his power through his palms. A blinding beam of divine energy struck Sirius, searing his entire body and hurling him backward.

BOOOMMM!!!

Sirius vomited blood as he saw Odin advancing with a cruel smile.

Odin seized his head. Sirius felt dizzy, his body refusing to move properly.

"What’s wrong, little boy? Did you really think you could avenge your papa? Aww, too bad!" Odin laughed heartily. "Hahaha! Turns out you’re just a damn bum, just like your pathetic father once was! Just like your entire worthless lineage! Gehehahahaha!"

"Nngh...! Y-You...!" Sirius’s face twisted in anguish, blood tears streaming from his eyes. "DON’T YOU DARE INSULT MY FAMILY!!!"

RUMBLE!

His Aura detonated outward, scorching Odin’s skin. The old god screamed, flung backward, and crashed into a nearby temple, reducing it to rubble and leaving a massive crater.

BOOOM!

At the same moment, Maria descended toward Odin. She summoned her sword of stolen divine power alongside her main blade, then fused them together.

And then...

"Tyr, it’s time to finally confront your father!"

From deep within Maria’s Soul, an entity of pure corrupted chaos emerged.

The Evil God.

And also the former God of War and Law—Tyr!

"FATHER!"

"T-Tyr?!"

Odin’s face registered genuine shock as Tyr merged into Maria’s blade, evolving it further into a weapon of chaos, multiple divinities, and Maria’s elemental forces.

"G-Gungnir!!!"

Odin screamed, summoning his golden spear into his hand. It clashed against Maria’s sword while he remained sprawled on the ground.

CRAAASH!

An explosion of light and darkness erupted from their weapons. The sky above split in two—day on one side, night on the other.

Then the ground beneath them shattered. The entire city of Asgard began to collapse.

As fragments of the continent fell away, Odin charged Maria once more. His spear met her blade in a relentless clash.

"If it wasn’t for you, none of this would have happened! My greatest mistake was leaving your soul intact!" Odin bellowed, steadily pushing her back.

"All of it for my fragment, father?!" Tyr demanded angrily. "Why won’t you even address me?! Thanks to Maria, I am no longer a mindless monster! I am myself!"

Chaos surged, warping space and overwhelming Odin’s divine light, tearing his armor apart once again.

At the same time, a crimson presence erupted behind him.

A towering, monstrous, demonic Outer God-like entity...

Or rather—Sirius’s Aura itself!

"DIE! ODIN! DIEEEEE!"

Channeling thousands of years of accumulated hatred, Sirius attacked from behind. His monstrous Outer God-like Aura roared, unleashing hundreds of strikes. Each arm moved with terrifying grace and mastery, wielding a different weapon.

"This damn bastard!"

Odin tried to retaliate, but Maria slashed his legs hundreds of times, leaving them covered in bleeding wounds infected with every curse imaginable.

Her spells continued to bombard him, yet Odin appeared unfazed.

None of her magic was working!

The most powerful spells she possessed as an Outer God had yet to be used.

She had been saving them—but now that seemed like a foolish decision.

Therefore...

"{Starless Apotheosis}!"

RUUUMBLE!

"HM?!"

Odin watched in alarm as space and time distorted around him.

Repeatedly.

Endlessly.

Stars died in his vicinity. The void surged forward, attempting to consume him whole.

The collision of void and divine energy triggered a massive explosion.

"NGAAAAAHHHH!"

Odin detonated over and over, unable to comprehend what was happening as Maria relentlessly conjured the spell without pause.

He fought back desperately, but Sirius refused to relent, overwhelming him from every angle and forcing him downward.

Meanwhile, while one part of Maria maintained the spell, another part wept uncontrollably.

An ocean of Void Tears manifested around her body. She unleashed millions of tear-shaped void projectiles toward Odin.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"TCH!"

Odin’s armor disintegrated rapidly. His skin became riddled with countless small, deep wounds that bled without end.

He regenerated faster than any vampire could—but the wounds were too numerous and relentless.

If his regeneration slowed even slightly, he would be left like a sponge, riddled with holes!

Yet the King of Gods was far from weak.

Compared to every opponent Maria had faced so far...

He was undeniably the strongest!

RUMBLE!

With a mighty stomp, Odin shattered space itself, destroying Maria’s spells and halting the distortion.

Thousands of beams of light erupted skyward, piercing her body endlessly.

"Aaaaaahhh!"

Maria screamed in pain but pressed forward. Tyr enveloped her completely. Her spirits resonated and merged with her.

Her archdemons emerged and fused as well.

Every skill, every spell, every ounce of power within her...

She concentrated it all into her sword—into her very soul.

To the point that what swung the blade was no longer her physical self, but a soulless husk she controlled through sheer will.

This was no longer a desperate attack.

It was a technique!

"This is my all, Odin!!!"

"Your all is nothing compared to my might! I am the King of Gods, fool!"

Odin roared furiously. He punched Sirius aside and clashed with Maria using Gungnir—his relentless, indestructible spear, worthy of the king’s pride.

"{Spectral Ghostly Fist Art: Sixteenth Form – Heaven-Tearing God Killing Blade}!"

Maria’s hands merged with her swords. She swung both arms as a colossal blade of chaos, light, and darkness.

CLAAASH!

"Nnngggh! Y-Youuuuu!"

Odin roared as he was steadily forced downward into the sea of clouds below.

Sirius surged upward from beneath, attacking with everything he had. Together, Maria and Sirius struck the God King from both sides.

"D-Damn it! Gungnir! GUNGNIR!!!"

Odin grew desperate, calling upon Gungnir’s full power—but the spear could only target one foe at a time. It had no ability to divide itself.

Beams of light struck Sirius, yet his immense defenses and resistances allowed him to endure!

Meanwhile, Maria held Gungnir at bay with her blade, constantly forcing it downward.

"Y-YOUUUU! TYR! WHY?! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!"

"Are you seriously begging for mercy now?! Father! This is your fault! You’re finally reaping what you sowed!"

Maria and Sirius attacked without mercy.

And...

His manifestations were constantly destroyed by everyone else and the Ark Formation, which soared through the air, firing millions of magic beams in every direction.

Everyone fought with everything they had.

It was now or never—the fate of Yggdrasil rested in their hands!

"Damn it! DAMN IT ALL!"

Odin screamed as Sirius pierced his back with blood swords.

And Maria’s blade...

Finally...

Through her Dream Soaring Blade...

SLAAASH!

Slashed straight through his torso, splitting him in half!

"A-AAhhh! AAAAHHHH!"

Odin screamed, desperately trying to regenerate.

Revealing what lay inside...

Something disgusting.

Yet horribly familiar!

"So that’s where they were...! The last Evil God Fragments!" Sirius said.

"What?! Father, what is this?!" Tyr cried in horror.
