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

The Fragment of the Evil God remained in silence, as he sighed.

“I only remember a few things, but I am sure that I was attacked against my will by my own father!” He said angrily. “It was all a conspiracy against me by my father and his close allies to stop me from becoming stronger than him and become the new King of the Gods…”

“Wait, what?!”

I was slightly shocked; he was also telling the truth because I was forcing him. Apparently, the Evil God was once the son of… another god? And that God was known as the “King of Gods”.

Wait, Odin?

I know this world is based in Norse mythology, and the God of Light governs the continent of the humans, his name is obviously Odin, so the Evil God is actually Odin’s son.

But whom?

It can’t be Loki, he’s still in his position as the God of Chaos, and the Heroic God of Thunder, Thor, is also worshiped by most of the Light God church as the representative of strong men and heroes.

So which other son did Odin had? I’m fairly sure he must have had a bunch of them, but this one in specific was strong enough that he threatened to overtake the position of his father, who is apparently the strongest God and even known as the “King of Gods”.

“Your father was Odin right?” I asked.

“Odin…!” He muttered. “I… barely remembered his name, yes, that’s… my bastard of a father.”

“Damn… So your own father betrayed you?! Then why are your fragments mad and want to kill everything though?” I asked.

“I was not completely aware of myself until you devoured my fragment, it appears the Miasma that has overtaken my body and become a part of my own self, which merged and corrupted my divinity, transformed my psyche and made me go mad.” He sighed. “I can barely remember why I was infected and corrupted, but the only one that controls Miasma the best is… Loki, the God of Chaos.”

“Loki… So that trickster also worked with your dad, huh?” I wondered.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Thor also helped him. That bootlicker was always doing anything father asked him. He was the perfect pawn. Loki is mysterious, but somewhat loyal to father as well, although he might had done this to me just so he could earn father’s trust.” Sighed the Fragment.

“Well, Loki’s his adopted son, right?” I asked.

“I am surprised you know so much.” He said. “Yeah… Loki is the adopted son of an Ancient Ice Titan, son of Ymir, father’s and the other god’s mortal enemies, who were dethroned from their position as the kings of the world and destroyed.”

“Damn, that’s rough.” I said.

“…I don’t exactly remember who I was, but I know my name, Týr. I was… a God of War and Law.” Sighed the fragment. Once a god that ruled the heavens of this world and helped its creation with many others, but now merely a piece of his former self.

This… feels so oddly similar to my own story.

It feels like we are a lot similar to be honest.

I was also accused by something I didn’t had any intention of doing, all for a conspiracy to take me down and then the rest of my family.

For fuck’s sake…

Ah, no, it is even worse, his own family betrayed him this time.

And his madness might had been caused by Loki himself, that tricky bastard…

“Well, I hate to admit it but I can relate to how you feel. Ugh, I hate to feel pity for you now, for fuck’s sake, why is your story so actually sad?” I sighed.

“Eh? I don’t want any pity from you, lowly mortal soul!” The fragment said, or well, let’s call him Tyr from now on.

“Heh, you’re as prideful as a god of war and law should be. Hey, how about I gather your fragments? Will you not hate me if I do that?” I asked with a smile.

“Gather… my fragments?!” Tyr asked, his eyes opening wide. “D-Do you really mean it?! But… actually touching my fragments generates a punishment by the gods! Those that are handling them will soon receive divine retribution, they will be doomed one way or the other, are you sure you want to collect them? Won’t the gods despise you?”

“They already do? I got like several Titles all about being hated by the Gods, specifically your daddy. But I am not alone, Hel has given me her Divine Protection. I think that kind of fights against their divine retribution and gives me space to breath.” I said. “Hel’s on my side, I’ve already spoken with her.”

“Hel… She has always been a strange girl.” He said. “I don’t know if I can trust her, seeing how she’s one of that traitorous Loki’s children, but it is not as if I have any option here. You could say whatever you want and I cannot do a single thing about it either way… Though, your proposal seems monumental, I doubt you’ll ever truly accomplish it.”

Tyr was really not believing my words a tiny bit at all! In fact he had no confidence at all I would be able to acquire his other fragments.

“Where are your other fragments anyways?” I asked.

“One of them must be at the mountain and… Hm, I can feel the others. Perhaps this is a new ability you’ve acquired. The closest one aside from the mountain is located at the center of the continent.” He said.

“I see, that must be the one the Albraun Kingdom and the Vampires have.” I said with a smile. “Your ability might be more useful than you imagine, Tyr.”

“Hmm… I still am not really that confident. You were unable to defeat the Ant Queen and needed help, you’re weak by yourself.” He said while crossing his arms.

“Meh, maybe you’re just being an edge lord. Are you sure you’re not still corrupted?” I asked while raising an eyebrow.

“Stop teasing me already!” He angrily said.
