1999 The Show Has Just Begun!
-----
Kireina's new creation was a combination between many concepts together as one! Utilizing the Path Jewel, Egos, Maxima Summons, and Spirits of this Plane together, to create a singular, unique being that qualified as many of these things at once.
Utilizing the Bone that the Primordial Null had gifted to her some time ago as its primary material aside from the Path Jewel of Necromancy, Kireina was able to revive Aldrich, an Ancient Menace of the Necrotic Plane, who for mysterious reasons ended appearing within her Path Jewel as a summonable entity.
But how was she able to revive him so easily in this new form? What were the concepts and inner linings that made it even possible? Well, it was all revealed to Kireina as her Dao of Egos and her Dao of Necromancy constantly improved into higher and stronger comprehension and forms.
She learned that Egos were something similar to what had happened to her! They were the reincarnations of consciousness, which whenever revived into a new body, would be encompassed by a Primordial Shell, the Origin.
And then, later, a Soul would be made, composed of the primary elements surrounding the Shell of Origin and the Inner Consciousness. And because [The Root] contained all information ever conceived, Egos directly extracted the consciousness from the Root itself, making themselves possible.
Kireina started to realize that Egos were a much higher power that beings that could move across Dimensions utilized, yet she had somehow managed to acquire it for herself at a very early stage of her growth!
Of course, it wasn't all the time that an Ego would be inherited from a formerly living entity, sometimes they would form from the gathering of Inner Consciousness Fragments made from the living as well, one example of that was Aquamarine, created from the Fragments of Rimuru and Ailine's consciousness, as they poured all their emotions and love into making that necklace.
Nonetheless, the connection to Aldrich's Inner Consciousness stored within the [Root] was already created when her Path Jewel was made, so by reinforcing the connection by giving her new creation his name, his true rebirth was brought!
"ROOOOAARRR!"
With a mighty roar, the chimeric spirit beast attacked Kireina once more, its chest suddenly shapeshifting into a monstrous wolf-like head and attempting to bite her into smithereens!
"Hahaha… HAHAHAHA!"
The laughter of a madman that once almost conquered the entire Necrotic Plane by himself before being defeated by its Ruler echoed, now revived as Kireina grasped the concept of what Egos truly were!
"I am grateful for your benevolence, my new Master! I, Aldrich, the Supreme Lord of Death, shall not disappoint you!" He laughed. "Not even now, in this new form of mine!"
Kireina's new weapon clashed wildly against the chimera's jaws, generating a huge explosion across the heavens, shaking the very Plane's pillars of reality!
CRAAAAASSSSH!!!
The shockwave concentrated not only her Path jewel of Necromancy, now elevated into the form of a weapon Maxima Summon Ego, but also by the Bone of Null, a material at the level of Interdimensional Beings!
TRUUUUUUMMMM...!
The clash generated a wave of blue and black energy, distorting the very fabric of reality as cracks continued to emerge everywhere across the battle.
The chimeric spirit beast seemed to not mind the destruction or commotion whatsoever, its entire body quickly moving forwards at a rapid speed, gigantic and titanic, as the swarm of Insectoids continued to attempt to break through Kireina's defenses.
"Aldrich! Take care of the Insectoid Army! You may borrow as much of my Mana as you want." Kireina smiled, as the scythe she held began to glow brightly with Death, Void, Phantom, and Cosmic energies mixing together, emanating the radiance of the Dao of Egos, Summons, Death, Necromancy, and Undead!
"Very well then!" The scythe spoke, as it suddenly concentrated its powers and materialized a living or well, Undead, Aldrich in the flesh!
FLAAASH!
[You have activated the Ego Maxima Summon Weapon's Ability: [Supreme Undead Embodiment: Lord of Death Aldrich: Lv5]!]
[A Manifestation of the Supreme Lord of Death, Aldrich has been created!]
[The new Manifestation shares 100% of his Stats with his physical form, and it can unleash all of its Skills and Spells, sharing the Mana of the physical vessel while also being capable of absorbing that of their Master.]
[Constantly drains Necrotic Energy to be kept manifested. However, Aldrich's Manifestation Magic Power has increased by +50%!]
[Duration: Indefinite]
Aldrich's manifestation smiled, with a handsome face, with long silvery-white hair and sharp red eyes, wearing ancient and regal clothes similar to those of dukes of middle ages, with a red cape, with long black nails and sharp fangs. He resembled more a Vampire than what he truly was, an Elder Lich!
He faced the Army of tens of thousands of Insectoids, as he suddenly gained the command of the Undead Army that Kireina's Elder Lich Transformation allowed her to summon.
"Very well! Let's begin the show, shall we?"
Aldrich's very existence distorted space around him, thanks to his Void Distorting Existence Skills, he was able to become almost immune to most power suppressing abilities, as he absorbed all void around him, and through this absorption, a special barrier was created from the vacuum itself.
His strength was too alien for this Plane, and the very pillars of this world were trying to suppress him. But they only ended shattering their own walls as Aldrich seemed unfazed!
And with as much arrogance as Kireina, the ancient former ruler of death that once managed to almost overtake the Necrotic Plane Ruler, gathered his Necrotic Energy and Mana, converging them together with a third new energy, the power of Spiritual Energy his existence had managed to absorb!
"Now, come together, my dear children!" He laughed. "[Undead Towers of Dominion]!"
TRUUUUMMM…!
Thousands of Undead beneath his foot suddenly started merging together, the Undead Kings Kireina had made merging willingly as they fused into enormous towers, one tower, three, five, ten, a dozen!
Each tower, made of bones and rotten flesh with countless limbs, eyes, and tentacles looked more terrifying than the previous one… This art was called Corpse Wielding Arts, and it was what Necrotic Plane inhabitants used to create magic arrays!
"Let's begin…!"
