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

Chapter 1209: Lie, Lie, And Lie Some More



RUMBLE!

The entire dark castle trembled, the Dream Hearts started being absorbed by the endless black fog, rapidly disappearing one after another, then, countless black runes appeared, spreading across the walls and the ceiling.

These runes then combined together, rapidly forming something together, a powerful Nightmare Formation. Every Rune was made fusing a hundred Nightmares together. Their connection recreating a monstrous combination of Nightmare Essence and Souls.

FLUOSH!

The black fog expanded and then rapidly materialized, fusing with everything within its range. The Nightmare Demons had to step back to not be caught, some of them ended being grabbed by something and eaten, but none truly cared.

"GRUOOOHHHH...!"

...And what was born from it was a giant mass of black and red flesh, tentacles wiggling everywhere, and enormous growths from every piece of flesh, rapidly absorbing the Dream Hearts and then creating something.

Something hideous.

The Nightmare Demons watched in awe, dozens after dozens of their kind were being created in front of their eyes!

"By turning the Nightmare Castle into a Nightmare Formation of tremendous power, we've been able to amplify my wife's powers to the limits," laughed the man. "And now, she will give birth to thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions!"

The Nightmare Demons gasped, in awe! Despite not being moved at all when one of their kindred died agonizingly against their very leaders, when they heard these words full of hope, they were filled with inspiration.

"So I need your help, my kindred..." the man smiled. "Bring me Dream Hearts, hunt the Humans! Risk your lives if you must! This plan must continue no matter what! In seven- no, five days! As long as you provide enough food... The Nightmare Demons shall become the dominant species of this planet!"

"Ooohhh!"

"Yes, King of Nightmares!"

"We shall hunt!"

"Our reign is soon to begin!"

"Humanity is inferior! Nightmares are superior!"

"We will keep Humans as mere cattle!"

"Kill them all! it doesn't matter if we die as well!"

"As long as we can bring our Queen all the food she needs... Our reign shall begin!"

The doors opened, as the Nightmare Demons jumped from them into many Fractured Nightmare Realms and Fragmented Nightmare Worlds.

Such Realms and Worlds connected to many areas of the planet, as they sought the fuel for the further creation and expansion of their kindred.

Dream Hearts.

The Nightmare Demon leading them all smiled, glancing at the scene with a confident smile. "Thank you, without your help, it wouldn't had been possible. After so many tries, endlessly stuck in this time loop... You have changed our future."

The man walked towards another room to the left side of the floor he was standing. The world around turned upside down, as he found himself walking in the ceiling of this room.

Right beneath him a person was sitting over a wheelchair, a young woman, with cascading, silky silvery-white hair, and crimson eyes.

A gentle smile surged in her lips.

Without a doubt, she was not a Nightmare Demon or a Nightmare.

She was a human.

"A pleasure, King of Nightmares."

Her eyes glanced at the room where she found herself into, an endless garden of flowers, a beautiful blue sky, and many children running across this beautiful land.

"Nightmares are indeed the future, now I truly see it," she sighed. "With them, we can recreate every memory of every human being that has existed or will exist. Isn't that... simply wonderful? A world for us, no more suffering, no more pain..."

"Indeed," the man walked to her side, admiring the beauty of this World. "I'm glad you've finally understood, after so many tries, that there is only one future, one where Nightmares engulf the world. Only then will Humanity ever find peace."

"Yeah... I don't know why I was so foolish," she sighed. "Nightmares are not hostile; they're only trying to save us. This shall be the last loop. Please... destroy humanity."

"As you wish." The Nightmare Demon man nodded. "Let's create a better world together."

(Maria's POV)

After we had dinner with my family and the new friends of this Academy, we moved to the restrooms everyone had in the adjacent building. Apparently every student has a singular room for themselves, but if you're family members, you can request rooms together.

That's why Lucifer and Nyx, Celes and Nia, and Arthur and I were on larger rooms where we slept with our family members. Turns out Arthur in this world is like... the half-brother of the character I've taken over.

He's supposed to be a silent boy who sometimes hangs out with me, but well, that does fit his personality quite a lot. My little brother is not very talkative, isn't he? Though, there was a lot we needed to talk about.

However, Emily, Alma, and Sofia wouldn't leave me alone, even when I went to my room, they came running to my side and I had to invite them over as they had a lot to chat with me about regarding everything that happened today.

"A lot happened today, Maria... But thanks to you and Jonathan we were able to survive," sighed Alma. "Thanks a lot for being with us there..."

"Ah, yeah... no problem Alma!" I said. "Well, you did help a lot too, right? Your abilities developed as well."

"Yeah, but I'm still a long way to go from improving upon them," Alma said. "B-But thanksn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

to you and Emily, and Sofia, I was able to get that far..."

"It was pretty obvious your ability could be used offensively Alma, I think you were just

afraid, maybe," said Emily.

"Maybe..." Alma sighed.

I felt a bit nervous with three cute girls wearing pajamas sitting on my bed, especially because they were treating me like their own age, I'm fairly sure they're not even older than 18!

However, I had to endure, thankfully they talked very cute things.

"Hmph, well, yeah, you two got pretty strong I guess!" sighed Sofia. "Though, I had no idea you could go against a Nightmare Demon, Maria! Even less that you could... divide into phantasmal forms, are all those Spells related with your Dream Heart?"

"Ahhh... Yeah, there's a lot of abilities I have not shown before," I said. "I had to use them

right now... That's why!"

I guess part of the trial was lying as much as possible, but this sure was annoying!
