I Got Reincarnated as a Zombie Girl - Chapter 302

Chapter 302: Chapter 298 – The Birth of the First Mortifera
Darkness slowly faded from Sylvia’s eyes.

At first, there was only a swirl of black light, like dark mist being sucked back into her body. Then the sensations of the world crawled back in the infernal heat of the underworld, the subtle vibration of energy in the air, and three choking breaths as if their owners were forcing themselves not to flee.

Belial. Lumielle. Seere.

The three stood several meters away, wearing expressions Sylvia had never seen on them before.

Not respect.

Not fear.

But… a deeper fear like they were standing before a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

Sylvia opened her eyes. And at that moment…

DARRRRRRRRR!!

Her aura erupted.

Ten seconds.

Just ten seconds.

But it was enough to make the entire underworld tremble.

Belial fell to one knee without realizing it, breath broken.

“Th-this… what kind of power… is this…?”

Lumielle whose body normally glowed with warm divine light was shaking violently.

“This is… not undead aura… not demonic… not divine… this is… law…”

Seere couldn’t even stand. She collapsed to his knees, trembling uncontrollably, eyes wide as though death itself stared him in the face.

“H-her body… Sylvia… you… changed…”

The aura didn’t crush them. But it made the entire underworld shake as if a new apex predator had appeared in the cosmic food chain.

Even the first floor shuddered. Demons and enormous beasts fell silent at the same time, instincts screaming in terror without knowing why.

Baal, still half-conscious, forced his eyes open, body frozen stiff.

“T-this aura… it’s not… human… not demonic… who… who awakened?!”

But just as quickly as it appeared…

The aura vanished.

Sssrrrp…

As if Sylvia turned off a giant valve.

Only Sylvia remained standing calmly, her jet-black hair flowing softly around her shoulders like a living dark mist. Half-formed wings of shadow flickered faintly behind her before disappearing.

The sharp, primordial gleam in her eyes faded, returning to the familiar deep crimson.

“Ah.”

She blinked again; her expression softened still cold, but gentle in her own way.

“Sorry. It opened on its own.”

All three observers nearly fainted.

Seere was the first to recover. She rose shakily, staring at Sylvia as if she were a falling meteor.

“S–Sylvia… are you… alright…?”

Sylvia looked at her hands.

No cracks of light.

No distortions of space. But her body felt lighter, steadier, correct, as if this was the form she was always meant to have.

She answered calmly:

“Yes. I’m fine.”

Belial, normally arrogant, ruler of the 68th floor and master of the underworld castle didn’t even dare to step closer.

“…Sylvia.”

His voice was low, cautious.

“Do you… understand… what happened to you…?”

Sylvia tilted her head to her habit when confused.

“You all look very scared.”

Lumielle swallowed hard.

“That’s because… that aura earlier… it wasn’t from any ordinary being…

it was like a primordial death law…”

Sylvia shrugged lightly.

“Yeah, maybe.”

Then without thinking, she spoke:

“Status.”

A black exclusive window opened in the air visible only to her.

For the first time since evolving, Sylvia’s eyes widened slightly, her expression growing more animated.

“Eh… this…”

The panel revealed new information.

…..

Sylvia closed the panel slowly.

“…Not bad.”

Not bad??

Belial nearly died on the spot.

Seere stared at her like she was a newly born god.

“S-Sylvia… what are you… now…?”

Sylvia touched her cheek.

“I don’t know. But I think… I’m still me.”

She smiled softly more expressively than before, yet still gentle like when she used to embrace Sofia. Then suddenly she clutched her head, realizing something.

“…Alicia. Stacia.”

She turned around.

Behind her, the two other cocoons had cracked open, revealing two sleeping forms.

Alicia now has a body of pure pale-blue soul light, formless yet beautiful. Stacia bearing both dark and light wings, white feathers coated in soft lavender aura, with a broken halo floating behind her head.

“One Spectra… one Fallen Seraph…”

Sylvia smiled. “Beautiful.”

Belial swallowed.

“Y-you three… are walking disasters…”

Lumielle inhaled deeply.

“Or… the world’s salvation.”

Sylvia raised her hand. Soft black aura flowed from her fingertips, touching Alicia’s and Stacia’s cheeks.

Their bodies stirred.

Silence fell before a storm.

Sylvia leaned in, whispered gently:

“Wake up. I’ve missed you.”

And the moment the words echoed…

Alicia opened her blue eyes. Stacia opened her golden-violet eyes.

Both looked at Sylvi and smiled. The three newly evolved beings finally awakened fully.

…..

Alicia blinked slowly, her soul-body glowing softly like living blue mist. Stacia lifted her head, her wings unfolding eight feathers of radiant lavender-silver blossoming like night flowers.

Sylvia watched them closely.

“Are you two alright?”

Her voice was soft tinged with emotion after six months of evolutionary sleep.

Alicia stared at her own body, lifting her transparent hand of pure soul.

“Oh… I really don’t have a physical body anymore, huh? Hehe… it feels weird… but also super light~.”

Stacia touched the broken halo behind her head.

“I… didn’t expect my form to look like this…”

She glanced at her wings.

“These… are Fallen Seraph wings?”

Sylvia smiled gently.

“You’re both beautiful.”

Both immediately blushed even though Alicia was a soul entity and Stacia was an angelic being.

Belial, watching from afar, looked away clearly unwilling to get dragged into the emotional chaos of three cosmic disasters.

Lumielle exhaled in relief.

“At least… they didn’t destroy this entire floor the moment they woke up…”

Sylvia inhaled, then lifted her hand.

“Status Alicia. Status Stacia.”

Two panels appeared before her and the aura emitted was enough to make Lumielle’s hair stand on end.

…..

Sylvia nodded.

“As expected, Alicia… you’re now a completely pure soul entity.”

Alicia spun around in the air, grinning wide.

“Yes! I feel like a balloon floating anywhere I want!”

Sylvia stifled a laugh. Then she opened Stacia’s panel.

The entire underworld seemed to hold its breath.

……

…..

Sylvia froze.

Alicia went silent for two seconds, then screamed:

“WHAT KIND OF ELEMENTS ARE THOSE?! TIMEEE?! SPACE?!”

Stacia covered her mouth with both hands.

“I-I… really have a time element…?”

Belial slammed his forehead into the wall.

“This is a disaster. A Fallen Seraph is already insane and adding time and space to this underworld is doomed…”

Lumielle looked like she wanted to cry.

“Why are only you three capable of turning hell into a museum of cosmic catastrophes…?”

Sylvia stared at Stacia for a long moment.

“Stacia… time and space? How…?”

Stacia lowered her head.

“I only picked Fallen Seraph… but when the race ascended… the system gave ‘extra features’.

Probably because of… our synchronized evolution.”

Alicia slapped her own soul-cheek.

“So that means… our trio is: primordial death, a soul entity, and a time-angel?

What is this, the final boss party?!”

Stacia looked at Sylvia.

“But the point is… we still want to stay with you.”

Sylvia inhaled softly then smiled warmly, more than she ever had before.

“Thank you.

Both of you… welcome back.”

And the three of them faced one another three new beings whose evolution had shaken the underworld and the heavens alike.
