Zicomo raised his Death Staff and unleashed a 'Summoning of the Dead' spell.

The scene from before against Platon Sanx was repeated.

Countless corpses and undead emerged from the black mist summoned by Zicomo.

However, the number this time was not as large as the last time.

The main problem is that the current space is too small, and the main hall has been completely destroyed by Maricus, leaving even less room for the dead to stand.

Nevertheless, the vast army of undead still looked quite spectacular overall.

This completely stunned Maricus.

Looking at the undead army that had surrounded him, Maricus was full of questions.

When did the power of death become capable of doing something like this?

This is different from his destined death, isn't it?

Could this be a characteristic of the death power born from the body of a demigod?

But that doesn't make sense. Isn't its characteristic to transform people into the dead?

I haven't seen any other Deathborn with this ability, have I?

As Maricus was still in surprise, Zicomo's hands did not stop moving.

Since the quantity is less, we can make up for it by improving the quality.

Zicomo retrieved all the ashes he had collected since entering the border region.

Countless gray-white cubes floated around Zicomo.

Using the power of death, Zicomo summoned the souls of all the ashes at once with the Soul Bell.

These souls are not the cannon fodder that Zicomo summoned earlier; they all possess a certain level of combat capability.

In particular, some of them were enhanced by Zicomo using "々｀ (Lingyi) Cemetery Lily of the Valley".

The most representative example is the 'teardrop-shaped' cremated remains.

After being upgraded to the maximum level by Zicomo, the summoned 'Animal Teardrop' will possess all of Zicomo's strength before he became a god.

Don't assume that Zicomo was weak before he became a god.

With his extensive mastery of powerful boundary magic, taking on several Dumbledores shouldn't be a problem.

Chapter 290 The Authority of Death, The Wrath of Thanatos

Famyazra was already gradually collapsing.

After the death of the Dragon King Platons, it collapsed even faster without the support of its power.

The idea was that since it would be destroyed anyway, I might as well take it.

Zicomo plans to move the entire Famyazra to the "Zen Garden".

As for whether to rebuild it or use it as forging material?

We'll talk about that later.

It's more important to collect it now before Famyazra completely collapses.

Melina had no idea that Zicomo meant this when he said "the finishing touches".

But thinking about the sacred tree in the "Zen Garden" and the city of Abbeyfield, she felt it was quite normal.

It has a very distinctive Zicomo character.

In the end, Melina didn't say much, but simply helped Zicomo put Famyazla into the "Zen Garden".

…………

Zicomo and Melina left the border area and returned to reality.

As soon as she stepped into reality, Melina felt as if something had entered her body.

She turned to ask Zicomo about her situation, only to find him looking at her.

Zicomo asked, "You sensed that thing?"

Melina nodded and asked, "What is that?"

"That is the authority of death."

777 Zicomo explained: “You have the power of destiny to die. The world believes you are qualified to become a new god, so it has bestowed this authority upon you.”

"If you can fully grasp this power, you will be qualified to become the Grim Reaper."

Zicomo also possessed a portion of authority, which he obtained shortly after mastering the power of death.

At the time, he didn't know what it was either; the system told him.

Melina noticed Zicomo's choice of words; Zicomo said "qualification to become Death" rather than "becoming Death."

She asked, "Qualifications?"

Zicomo nodded and said, "Yes, qualifications. After all, there is already a Grim Reaper in this world, and we are essentially taking away his job."

Melina frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Going against a deity doesn't sound like a good thing.

What if they get upset and come and kill them?

Moreover, both of them now possess the power of destined death, which means that they each wield a portion of authority.

Doesn't that mean that in the end, the two of them will still have to compete?

Melina voiced her concerns.

Zicomo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Once someone has completely grasped the power of death, they will be ostracized from this world and sent to the underworld."

This is what the system told him.

At this point, Zicomo suddenly felt that it was a bit like a boss hiring you and then urging you to get back to your workstation as soon as possible.

Moreover, it's the kind of job that's 24/7, 365 days a year, and continues until a successor arrives.

Zicomo continued, "That's how Death is now, confined to the underworld, unable to descend into reality in his true form."

"Although I don't know what the underworld is like, it certainly isn't as exciting as the real world."

“I have no interest in the position of Grim Reaper. If you are interested, I will simply hand over the authority to you.”

"So you don't need to worry about us being in competition."

Upon hearing this, Melina immediately lost interest in the position of Grim Reaper.

She was actually quite interested in becoming a god.

But as soon as she heard that she would be confined to the underworld, Melina lost all interest.

The name "underworld" doesn't sound like a good place.

She had no intention of abandoning the wonders of the real world to go to such a place.

Melina asked, "So this authority is a hot potato, completely useless except for attracting the attention of Death?"

Zicomo waved his hand and said, "No, it can help you master the use of Fated Death more quickly, and it can also increase the power of Fated Death when you use it."

Melina nodded; that was a good use.

If Thanatos, the god of death, knew how Zikomo and Melina used their power over death, he would probably go mad with rage.

What was once the authority of a deity was used by them as a tool to amplify their power.

This is simply a waste of resources.

Of course, even if Thanatos didn't know, he would be furious right now.

Because His authority has been diminished.

The authority of a deity, if bestowed by the world, will have a fixed weight.

Melina's gain means Thanatos will lose some of his share.

Although it doesn't affect His power, anyone would be angry if something that rightfully belonged to Him was taken away.

So Thanatos angrily contacted Voldemort.

Voldemort was currently in his stronghold, plotting how to make a move against Qicomo.

He had just started to get a clue when black smoke began to billow from his head.

The Death Eaters nearby saw this and thought their master had overthought things and burned his brain.

Bellatrix asked with concern, "Lord Dark Lord, are you alright?"

Voldemort waved his hand and said, "It's alright, you can all step back."

Upon hearing this, the Death Eaters in the surrounding area all left the area.

After Voldemort and everyone else had left, he finally made contact with Thanatos.

Thanatos's phantom appeared before Voldemort, and he immediately roared, "Voldemort! Why did it take you so long to get through? Did you think I couldn't do anything to you just because you're in the human world?!"
