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

Chapter 1153: An Oath With A Goddess



Apparently the reason why Frigga was remaining so silent was because she had too much to talk about? That doesn't make much sense though.

"There's just too much to talk, to be honest. But yes, my husband... or well, my ex-husband, has only grown stronger since then. Odin has stolen the Thrones of Ymir and Tiamat, becoming the King of Creation and God of Heaven." Frigga said, drinking some tea afterwards.

"You're strong, Maria. Very strong, in fact, the blessing you received from the beings that inhabit the Outer Void is already incredible beyond belief. You could truly defeat him and end his insanity and his tyranny... But not yet, you have potential, but you must blossom it. At the very least, your Divinity has to reach Tier 7 before you can face him."

"T-Tier 7?!"

My Divinity was only Tier 2! How the hell can I jump to Tier 7 within a short amount of time?

"I mean, it's not that you need to be of that Tier in specific, but it is when your Divinity reaches the highest point of power and can materialize," said Frigga. "Not even my Divinity is that high though, I am only Tier 5."

"That's still pretty high!" everyone said.

"A-Ah, am I? I'm so weakened now, I don't know if I am really that strong," laughed Frigga. "But Maria... Has a lot of power within her, she needs to level up to fully unlock it. I think her Divinity could reach higher tiers quicker, but she needs to face more challenges." Frigga said. "Um, fine, okay, let's say you're right, but so what?" asked Catarina. "Not like we can actually trust you either way. For all we know, you could be acting like a spy for your hubby, so he welcomes you back after getting all this info from us, right?"

"T-That's...! I didn't mean to sound suspicious," sighed Frigga. "I can't go back to him, I swear! He'll only kill me if I return, no matter what I offer to that man, it's not as if he cares... He has stopped caring about everything for a while. After becoming so powerful, over the years, he has lost his humanity, everything I loved... is long dead. Odin, the man, is long dead, and only Odin, the God, remains. A personification of his powers and strength, but nothing else left behind than a broken shell that was once a person."

"Okay sure but can we trust you based in that alone?" wondered Tear. "You could just be lying!"

"I-I swear on my name as a goddess and as Frigga that I am not lying!" said Frigga.

"Yeah, that doesn't work well, you see," I sighed. "You could even be trying to get information about my home once we get back home, so... I am really reconsidering leaving you alive. Maybe I should really just kill you..."

"Is it necessary to go so far?" Frigga sighed. "I know we've only met briefly, and that you hate my kind but... I want to cooperate with you, if your intention is to kill Odin and dethrone him... T-Then please, let me help you."

"Again, how can I trust you?" I wondered.

"This..." she suddenly offered me a golden thread.

"What's this?" I asked.

"This thread leads to my soul," she said. "If you can connect it to your own, a Soul Oath of Gods can be made. If either of the two violate the terms agreed upon, we will receive a terrible punishment into our souls, it could even lead to death."

"Hmm..." I wondered, looking at Emeraldine.

She was the best at discerning if someone was lying or not.

"She's not lying... I can sense the honesty in her heart," said Emeraldine. "She wasn't lying before but, even if I knew she wasn't lying, I still can't trust her. But at the very least, that Oath could create better ways to trust her to an extent. So I would take it."

"Okay then, let's accept your offer for the moment," I took the strand of soul and connected it with mine.

"To allow you to trust me, I'll let you add any conditions you want... I'll trust you wont make any... ridiculous requests, if we want to cooperate together, we should stand in equal footing, hopefully," Frigga sighed, trying to tell me to not overdo it.

"Hmm, okay."

I placed some basic conditions.

-She must swear her complete loyalty to me, a break of this loyalty will end with her soul being heavily damage or destroyed.

-She must forfeit any information she knows, any knowledge, everything she knows, and no secrets must be kept from me.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

-She must forfeit all her possessions to me.

-She will dedicate to help me and my friends and family without hesitating and without slacking off for the next one hundred years.

-She will never return to Odin but can try to recruit other gods to our side.

-However, if these Gods don't want to, she will have to help us defeat or kill them.

"T-This is... Hahah... Surprisingly thoughtful," she smiled. "I guess you really got everything you wanted there. Okay... Very well, my life and my soul are now on your hands, Maria. I... I have already given up on my life. That I fell into that monster's heart perhaps was karma, fate decided that I didn't have the right to die on my own accords yet. I had to first pay for my sins... I had to pay for helping that tyrant make so many suffer."

As she spoke, the Oath was made, a flash of bright black and golden light, the brightness of both of our souls, resonated.

It felt strange, as if I had a tight leash on her now.

If I ever wanted... I could completely destroy her soul.

I suppose I can finally trust her because her life is completely in my hands.

Any mishap, and she's gone forever.

"Okay, sure, yeah, go on with your monologue, we're done," I nodded. "Now you're going to give us more information about Odin, especially about his overpowered spear. And any weaknesses he has, anything. Now."

"I understand..." she nodded. "I'll tell you everything, but do you think this is the right place? There are many people around if they were to learn I was Frigga..."

"Hm, not wrong... Okay, let's wait until we get back home then," I nodded, sighing. "Everyone, we'll be departing!"
