Chapter 1940 [Supreme Wars: Act III] 3/9: You Make Your Father Proud



-----

All the memories they shared together went through Zehe's mind, since she was a little girl inside of Redgaria's Tower. Those times she was taught and helped by Herbell, those times he gifted her shoes because her foot looked covered on bruises. And those times he taught her carefully how to use magic.

And how he congratulated her when she excelled among all other students… Despite only being a skeleton, Herbell had a strong heart, so strong he would willingly sacrifice himself for his beloved ones. No matter what…

"I always wished to have had a daughter… I always wished… to have a family." Herbell whispered to Zehe's mind. "But you, Zehe… You became my daughter, and your family become mine…"

"Father… Wait… Please don't…! Not like this!" Zehe cried. "Not so sudden!"

Herbell glanced at his daughter's face one last time, as he recalled all those memories he had with her… And even remembered her dear son, Ryo too.

"For a while now… I've been thinking on a cool way… to pass away for real now…" Herbell cried. "It was only you and your children that made me want to continue moving on, despite having left behind all of my family back then, when we all died…"

"N-No…"

When the great catastrophe happened within his kingdom, when the young Redgaria killed every living being in the Kingdom with his powers and turned them all into Undead… Herbell never harbored any hate.

He knew of the sacrifices, and knew of the sins everybody carried with themselves as well… He felt it was his just desserts to suffer such a fate.

And dedicated himself to serve that poor child, even after death.

But when Zehe appeared on his life, things changed.

His hopeless undead existence became joyful, and perhaps, even a bit lively.

"My dear Zehe… I'll always… be there with you… No matter… what…" Herbell's soul and body slowly started to become particles of blue and red light, flying into Zehe's body.

Zehe felt Herbell's soul, and even his physical body fuse with her own body. All his Divinities, his Dao Fragments, his shattered cores, his Divine Energy, his Skills, Techniques, his might, and bravery.

"Please… Take my power… ZEHE!"

FLAAAAAASSSSH!!!

Zehe's mechanical armor suddenly shapeshifted and changed, gaining a skeleton-like appearance much similar to Herbell, with heavy black armor, like a Skeleton Knight.

An endless red and blue phantasmal flare covered her body, as Zehe's horns grew much bigger and sharper, glowing with necrotic and demonic power.

Her claws became huge, and her body grew several times bigger as well. Her blue skin gained several red and blue tattoos, imbued with Herbell's might.

And Zehe's cores combined into a single, glowing crystal with purple color, containing all her energy combined with that of her father.

All of his Skills, Divine Techniques, Magic, and even his might were imbued into this core, which made this powerful energy course through her body…

"I'll always be there to watch over you… Zehe."

While constantly crying tears of sadness, Zehe stood back up, glancing at the chaotic scene in front of her. Her Divinity was evolving and expanding. No longer being merely a Pseudo Supreme Goddess, but reaching the true Supreme Goddess Rank, and going beyond that! Quickly rising several more Ranks within this Realm.

Her Supreme Divine Aura expanded around her body, overpowering the mighty aura of the Necrotic Ruler, not even his Cosmic Treasure could exert its full powers!

"Unnnggh…! M-My soul! My weapon?! Why everything feels so weakened- ARGH…!"

Suddenly, he fell to his knees, feeling a tremendous pressure like he had never felt before! Zehe's eyes glowed bright red, as tears constantly flowed from them.

"[Abyssal Demonic Darkness Magic]: [Gravity Transfiguration]!"I think you should take a look at

Zehe closed her claws as she manipulate and transfigured gravity itself, as this invisible force transformed constantly around the Necrotic Ruler's body, crushing his entire soul countless times while leaving Hel's body completely intact!

TRUUUUUMMMMM…!

"UNGGH..! AARRGGH…! Y-YOU CAN CONTROL GRAVITY ITSELF TO THIS EXTENT?! ARRGHHH…!" The Necrotic Ruler groaned in agony, as Zehe suddenly summoned an enormous, blazing bone sword with her free hand.

"This is the blade made up of my father's soul and will." Zehe said with hateful eyes. "FEEL HIS PAIN!"

She charged the sword with all her darkness, rushing towards the Necrotic Plane Ruler and slashing his soul with it several times! His scythe and skeletal arms were all held by Redgaria and the Eldritch God she summoned.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

"AAAAAAARRRGGHHHH…! S-STOP! STOOOP!!!"

The Necrotic Plane Ruler screamed in agony, his soul powers shaking as it constantly tried to keep himself from being separated from Hel! After all, he couldn't let go of her as his primary vessel! Without her, he would be completely confined back into his Plane!

However, Zehe didn't gave him a single second to rest! Gathering the might of her fallen father, her aura erupted with death and darkness elements, as the figure of Herbell appeared behind her, glaring at the Necrotic Ruler!

"[Undead Knights Netherworld Blade Arts]: [Endless Phantom Blade Dance]!!!"

Using the same technique her father used before dying, Zehe combined all her might with Herbell's, unleashing a spinning attack of slashing blows, the powerful Soul of the Necrotic Ruler could no longer take any more damage!

"YOU DAMNED… BASTARDS…!"

"THIS IS FOR FATHER!!!"

Zehe raised her blade, unleashing a devastating slash with it and cutting into countless pieces the soul connection of the Necrotic Plane Ruler with Hel, finally severing it!

SLAAAAAAASSSSHHHH!!!

"GRYYAAAAAAAAEEEEEHHHHHH…!"

His pathetic scream echoed across the entire Realm of Helheim, as Hel's soul finally cut down the connection, the armor covering her body quickly fading into ashes as she fell over the floor!

"S-She did it?!" Jormungandr was shaken.

"HEL!" Fenrir ran towards his little sister.

"My daughter…" Loki did as well.

"Is Auntie safe?!" Yiksukesh wondered.

"We don't know yet, but we need to get out of here, this entire castle's collapsing!" Zehe said, quickly cleaning her tears as the portal summoning the eldritch god closed.

"Skeleton Dragon!" Redgaria summoned back his Skeleton Dragon from the armor form it had beforehand, as it quickly grabbed everyone with its jaws, and flew out of the massive, crumbling castle!

FLAAAAAAASH!

RUMBLE!
