Chapter 1167: A Talk With Mommy Hel
"What do you mean by "I REFUSE"?!" Hel suddenly turned into a giant specter and grabbed me with her massive claws, shaking me around as if I was a ragdoll.
"Eeeeehhh! Please wait a bit... Babababahhh!" I was being shaken so much I couldn't even make sense of my words. "I didn't mean it in bad faith! I actually got a plan, auntie..."
"Hmm? What plan?!"
Her true form as a titaness was revealed in that moment, as I saw her Titan Spectral form, enormous and terrifying, and she triggered it within a split second.
She slowly turned back to her previous, self-contained tiny form, sitting over her throne again and grabbing me by the dress, as if to threaten me...
Honestly she can act like that all she wants, but she's not threatening at all, if anything she's kind of cute!
"Yes, I can divide my body, right? I was planning on upgrading that Privilege with my current items... Even fuse it too, to make it stronger..." I sighed. "I plan to leave a Divided Ego of myself in here. Did you think I would just abandon my people?"
"Hmm..." she calmed down completely. "Okay, I am listening... Your System power, that Unique Skill has indeed provided you with such items through its ability to absorb, process, and forge Causality into usable abilities, items, and points, right?"
"W-Woah, you already know how it even works?" I wondered. "I feel slightly... violated."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Come on! I have seen every inch of your soul by now, I am well aware you are also a reincarnation from someone from the first floor, and as a reincarnated soul, as it moves through the floors, layers between the worlds, your soul gains power. This power then is converted into Unique Skills upon your rebirth by the Tower," said Hel. "You're not unique in this, those children you adopted also have Unique Skills too, and also there's a few other people around Yggdrasil and many other worlds. They usually are quite famous, as Unique Skills are rather balance breaking."
"So you've really read my entire soul and know my greatest secrets! I truly feel violated now... How shameful of you, auntie," I crossed my arms.
"Enough with your nonsense, Maria!" Hel said grumpily. "You're probably among the strongest Unique Skill wielders, your Unique Skills have evolved into completely ridiculous abilities... A-And you've even become the new interest of the Outer Ones. That's a whole issue we'll have to talk about later! Maria, I think they really want you to break the Tower now."
"You know them?" I wondered. "Who are they exactly? They said they wanted me to bring freedom to the worlds but..."
"Good morning your majesty!"
"She has brought someone else?"
"Who is she- Ah, the Saintess!"
"Saintess! Saintess! PLEASE SIGN MY SHIRT!"
Suddenly we were swarmed by many ghosts, zombies, skeletons, and other undead creatures
trying to grab my attention.
"A-Ah, hello everyone!" I said, waving my hand. "You all look... rotting and visceral!"
"OMG! She's so good with compliments too!"
"Kyaaaah!"
"Saintess please have my child!"
"Enough with you lot, get away!" Hel roared, and they obeyed, they quickly stepped back.
"Now, let's go."
"Where to?" I wondered.
"My castle, obviously!" Hel said, pointing into a huge dark blue and black colored castle on top of the mountain. "The Divine Undead I shall lend to you is there."
