As the Ghost ran toward the ship, a weird scene plays in the middle of the battlefield. The Nagas continue to fight Mors grey copies. Even their mages, their strongest forces could not put up much of a fight against Mors primordial skills. The Ghost captain is kneeling on one knee.
His head is down. An incorporeal shadow covers his body. The Ghost could not help but shake in fear and hope. His voice carries fanatic fervor in it. Eyes bright with hope. His voice a beautiful chorus to this war song.
"I greet Second Death, Reincarnation."
"Please to greet you-"
"Catox your all-mighty excellency"
"Good. Now then Catox, it's about time to go to your ship"
"Yes!"
Catox stood up as he shouted with all his strength.
"Retreat! To The Liberator!"
The Ghost said as he started to run towards the ship with the rest of his troops. Mors ran behind them as well, making sure to cover their tracks with more of his copies. Using the sound of the closing notes of this war. Mors uses this to give himself a boost in speed.
This consumes his Qi as his speed became neck-breaking. As his feet touch the water that surround the island, he did not sink. Instead, he started to walk on the surface of the water like the Ghost around him. The Ghost seems to be preoccupied to notice the cultivator running alongside them.
Soon everyone reaches the ship. The Ghost who was still incorporeal phase through the ship. While those that weren't climbing up the rope ladders that hang from the ship sides. Mors did not climb as he jump to get past the ship hull and landed on the wooden deck.
The Ghost general seems to climb up the ladder because of the leather bag on his side. In fact, many of the Ghosts that climb the ladder had the same bags on their sides. As the Ghost, all arrive on the ship, without it being controlled by anyone. The ship wheel started to turn as the ship moved by itself.
From the very ghostly wood of the ship, a female figure appears in front of the ship wheel. She looks like a pirate as well. In fact, she looks more like a pirate than a captain.
'Maybe he aint the captain'
Mors said as he looks at the woman and than at the captain. Who is now kneeling in front of Mors. This scene causes all the Ghosts to look at Mors with complicated eyes. Some think that Mors is controlling the captain. In fact-
"How the hell did a Fiend get into the ship! Ghost kills him! He is controlling the genera-"
"Stop you fools!"
The capt- no general says with authority as he stood up and looks at his soldiers. Only one voice spoke out against him, the female captain controls the ship wheel with one hand as the other had her gun drawn and aimed at Mors.
"Catox you are being controlled by a Fiend and you don't even know it!"
"Stop! All of you are in the presence of his excellency!"
"Blasphemy! The only beings worthy of that title are Deaths!"
"I speak the truth! This outer worlder is Second Death-"
A bullet went flying and scratches the side of the general face. Blue smoke came out of the wound, as the female captain spoke in a cold tone.
"Another word out of you and I will end you and this fiend's life! Man kill tha-"
But before the woman could speak Mors touched a nearby Ghost. The Ghost was the same thing the general saw. As the Ghost came back from the image she got down on her knees and spoke a beautiful deathly chorus.
"I greet Second Death, Reincarnation!"
The Ghost was shocked by this. Each Ghost that Mors touch saw the same image and said the same thing after coming out of it. Soon one by one each Ghost kneel and spoke the same chanting. Mors felt something in him stair up. It wanted to come out and spread its influence. But it was not time yet, this thing, there was still a single lock left on him before he can use the corruption- No the power inside of him.
Mors slowly walks up the Quarter deck. The female captain was slowly shaking in her boots. Her eyes were full of fear. Her handgun shook as she could not take a good shot at the approaching Mors. Mors touches her head with all the love of a parent and the authority of a king.
Her eyes became clouded and as the image faded away, became as clear as the blue ocean. they were sailing on. Her chant reaches Mors earns.
"I greet Second Death, Reincarnation!"
Mors turns around as he looks at the still kneeling Ghost. Their eyes were now filled with hope and admiration. Mors spoke words that resonated with all of them.
"My children in death lost souls of past lives, I am Mors Mundi, also known as Wu Ming! Second Death, Reincarnation! Husband of First Death, Regression!"
"First Death!"
"By Death's Holy embrace!"
"Two Deaths are married!"
"I am not the godly being you all think I am! My powers are just slightly better than your general Catox! I came to this world to get stronger! And to help you all!"
Whispers spread across the Ghost. They felt when Mors touch them that he has not regained his full power. From what they heard from their other undead brothers when they were still in the plane of death, is that each Death was leagues above the normal undead. A true manifestation of Death.
The Death in front of them is still young and growing. A brave soul spoke out from the crowd.
"My lord, are you planning of conquering the crown? Do you plan to finish the 'Death's War?'"
'Nice, more and more information. This could earn me some good service from Zhihui when I get back.'
Mors said in his own mind, he could not help but imagen Zhihui in a maid outfit.
"My lord?"
"Ah?- ah yes! I do plan on claiming the crown and finishing the war! But that will be for the future when I regain my powers! Now let's deal with this war! I plan to finish this-"
Mors looks at the female captain.
"Liberation War"
"Liberation War!"
"Wow! All hail Death! The endless symbol!"
The Ghost said as they look at Mors and chanted a holy prayer. The female captain stood up as she spoke.
"Destination, Freezing Point! Man and Woman! To your stations!"
