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

Chapter 1148: The Origin Of The Gods



"Mama, who is that?"

As we moved to Aquarose, Nyx wondered who this woman I was carrying even was.

"This is Frigga, the Goddess of... Pregnancy and Protection, I think?"

"It's Motherhood, not Pregnancy!" Frigga sighed. "But yes, those are the Divine Thrones I govern over..."

"Hmph, I wonder who you took these from, huh?" wondered Lucifer. "Answer me."

"My husband gave them to me forcefully! And... Well, I think they belonged to Tiamat," sighed Frigga.

"She has Tiamat's Divine Thrones?!" asked Partner. "No way makes sense why that giant fish monster was so powerful after swallowing her. Are you sure you don't want to eat her, master?"

"I'm sure it's fine for now," I nodded. "Don't worry."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As I said that, I created a black dress for Frigga to cover herself up, made out of my Shadow Threads.

"Ah, thank you..." she blushed a bit, feeling better now that she had something to dress up with.

"Why were you even naked to begin with? Can you move on your own?" I asked her.

"I-I think I can, yes," she said. "And I was naked because... Well, the force of collision destroyed everything I was wearing... Except my body. Usually the clothes we wear are Divine and can't be destroyed so easily! But... Well, Odin told me to leave anything of value, so I was only able to wear Mortal Clothing..."

"Woah, just what happened there?" wondered Partner. "Did your husband seriously dumped you? After thousands of years? Also you seem awfully nice after we killed two of your kids."

"My husband has gone mad for a long time..." Frigga sighed. "He cannot be reasoned with even less than before. Back then when I was much younger... I was stupid and naïve, and admired his might and strength, before being known as the World Conqueror or the King of the Gods, Odin was known as the Viking King, the strongest warrior of Valhalla, the world where we come from."

"Valhalla..." I said. "So that's not the heaven of this world?"

"No, the Souls go elsewhere, to Helheim," she said. "Sometimes, they are reincarnated back after washing by the Rivers of the Dead, but the concept of Valhalla is... yet another lie made by my husband to control the people. No mortal ever goes to a "heaven" or something of the sort. At least not those of this world."

So there's another world out there where the Aesir came from named Valhalla, and he's a Viking King?! Makes sense why he's such a barbaric son of a bitch.

"So you left him because he was a madman..." I said.

"And because... He wasn't even upset about the death of Baldr and Oceania," sighed Frigga. "They were my children, even though I barely had time to raise them, even though... I am indeed sad of their deaths, but they... too, like their father, had grown wicked. They sought their deaths, and I was unable to stop them. I dot not blame you for trying to defend yourself from them. I only blame myself for being unable to stop them."

"I... see..."

I still feel a bit bad though, this is really awkward.

"Huh, I'm sorry about that..." Nyx said. "But they were very evil and tried to kill mama and papa... Why didn't you raise them to be good kids?"

Nyx went straight with that question, huh? She's very direct.

"I... tried!" Frigga cried. "But... Yeah, it was because I failed, I am a terrible mother at the end. I let that man manipulate me, and I was stupid enough to nod at everything he said. But there was a point I couldn't keep going, after two of our children died, I decided to leave this behind. Even if I died, even if I die by your hands, Maria... I think that's fine too. I want him to pay, if you want, use my power to grow stronger, and kill that madman..."

She was being serious this time.

"Well, if you insist, Bon Appetit!" I said with a smile, my shadows opening into endless jaws.

Frigga screamed in horror as she started crying.

"W-Wha...?! Wait a second, I thought you weren't going to actually do it! Don't eat me!"

She's such a scaredy cat, this woman...

"Calm down, I'm joking," I sighed. "I thought you were a Viking woman! Why are you such a scaredy cat?"

"Who wouldn't be when facing the monster that has terrified this world so far?" she sighed. "You also ate my two children; I am justified for feeling afraid!"

"R-Right..." I nodded. "Anyways, enough with bad jokes, we are here. Let's talk more about you once we get into the Aquarose Kingdom."

"Aquarose... Kingdom?" Frigga wondered. "I have never heard of such a place, is it in some desolate island?"

"No, it's an underwater Kingdom of mermen from the world of Atlantis," said Emeraldine. "It seems that as long as they are underwater, the Gods couldn't see them. I thought Oceania was in charge of the seas, did she never report this to you?"

"A-Ah?! W-Well... Oceania was such a bratty and lazy girl... She never truly did her job," sighed Frigga. "She would just laze around or mess around with mortals. As part of the new generation born here once the war was already over... That girl lacked many life experiences." "Okay then, anyways, here we are, behave and pretend to just be a normal person... A human or something," I said. "We can't let them know you're actually Frigga..."

"I understand," Frigga nodded. "W-What about your friends?"

"I can't reveal it to them either for now, but I'll tell them once we're out of here," I said. "Anyways, let's go."

We stepped into the Aquarose, being cheered up by everyone, apparently there was a big battle here, with several monster corpses scattered around, they had invaded here as I thought, but it seems they managed to defend well and survived, thankfully. "Welcome back, sis!" Arthur greeted me first, hugging me tightly. "You did it! You saved everyone... again!"

"Hahah, I wouldn't have been able to do it without everyone that came with me, thanks for protecting the city, little brother," I kissed his forehead. "Let's go celebrate, I'm starving!"
