It is nice to meet you, Maria.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An Astral Avatar, I presume. I have already seen your true body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, you are not wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you are the Goddess then? You felt like an Outer God, but you are too small. You cannot be a newborn Outer God, nor does it feel like an Egg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outer God? No. I am simply me. I have traveled through space for eons since detaching from my creator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Detachment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I belong to a species of large beings that dwell very far away. We orbit planets rich with life and slowly consume that life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this time, the Elves had been living atop the very monster that devoured every trace of life on their original world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You...! So you are a monster, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seleneum sighed, gazing once more at her reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice carried deep sadness, a quiet disappointment in herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As though she truly regretted what she had done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it was in my nature... I could not stop it. I will not shift the blame—it is my fault that the beautiful world my children once knew is now a barren desert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ironic. Now the Tower has caught you, believing you to be a world, and threatens to consume you. You nearly died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know... it was karma, as some from other worlds might say. A part of me felt this was what I deserved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you truly regret it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria fell silent, studying Seleneum closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it had been part of her nature, encoded in her very being, her instincts, her genes—to devour living worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could not resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was still young when I did it. The people below never knew it was me... they built a colony upon my surface. At one point, I even considered consuming them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I did not... I do not know why I changed. These people living above me had their own lives, their own voices. For the first time, I was no longer alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I felt that if I ate them, I would be... truly sad. Truly lonely. And I did not want to be alone again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you really changed... you even feed them now. And you transformed them into Moon Elves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am... trying to atone for destroying their world. I nourish them. I grant them power. In return, they offer me Faith—a strange energy that has elevated my consciousness and soul to higher realms. And when they die and are buried, I consume their remains. Everything returns to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria had no intention of judging that. The dead had passed naturally; it was not as though they were murdered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still a little strange.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any planet consumes the life that dies upon its surface, does it not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... I suppose. Fair enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seleneum looked at Maria with a gentle, almost shy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for helping my children fight back. For saving me... even though I did not deserve it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you plan to do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria crossed her arms and posed the crucial question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not wish for the Tower to consume me. I want to continue protecting my children... I have heard you are fighting to destroy it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am. I have already recruited many gods across the Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impressive... I trust you. Would you allow me to join you? Despite the monster that I am?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria remained quiet for a moment before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well. You seem strong, so I will accept. When the time comes, I will call upon your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you. What are your plans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can read my mind and find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fufu, I refrained because it is considered rude, but very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seleneum gently probed Maria’s thoughts and learned everything. Her expression filled with astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Incredible... you have devised not one plan, but over five?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One for every possible scenario.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah... you are truly admirable. Would you like to become my child? Drink my blood, and you will gain immense power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh... well, I tried. Then at the very least, accept this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seleneum approached Maria and manifested an artifact from her own Consciousness, Soul, and Divine Moonlight Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took the form of a moon-shaped mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a Mind Relic. They have no physical form but exist within the mind. When placed inside your Consciousness, they enhance your thinking power, learning ability, and more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First time I have seen one of these. Interesting... alright, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are welcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seleneum nodded, then smiled at Maria with a faint blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Oracle could not convince you, but to repay you... I am also willing to give myself to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled sweetly. Maria felt a strange flutter, this form was an exotic alien beauty, at least within the Mindscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though her true body was a tentacled, meatball-like entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... I already have enough lovers. I cannot... please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is only a realm of the mind. It would never happen outside...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seleneum slowly undressed, revealing her slender, graceful form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Maria herself was somewhat alien, the sight felt strangely alluring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria intended to leave, yet she found herself staring too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without realizing, she spent an entire hour with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seleneum’s soft moans were endearing, sending gentle tremors across the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria proved far more passionate than Seleneum had imagined, kissing her everywhere and exploring new sensations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost intoxicating. They interlocked the tentacles on their heads, forging an even deeper connection—sharing every feeling completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa... Alien sex is crazy. I am never doing this again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria sighed, sitting naked on the purple grassland while Seleneum lay in blissful exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I am going, Seleneum. Let us consider this our little secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria leaned down, kissed her lips gently, and swiftly departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-06-06T14:08:15.594Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff4575d26652cf8d15b0c69aa3e800ad19296a58dab3b9deee78141b511d47cb","reborn-as-a-ghost-time-to-build-my-undead-army-chapter-1822","reborn-as-a-ghost-time-to-build-my-undead-army-chapter-1820",1954,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-as-a-ghost-time-to-build-my-undead-army-cover.jpg"]
