Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife



When she arrived in the underworld realm this night, she did not find Ezrah waiting for her so she straight away joined the line of grim reapers waiting to deliver their souls.  She had brought thirteen souls this time round.

She could hear a few small whispers here and there.

"That's her, the level one infant soul cultivator that caught a soul eater."

"Oh my God!! she is really the reaper who jumped into the gate way of her own accord."

"She looks young and weak."

Scarlet ignored all of these words and looked ahead as if she could not see any of them. 

"Is that her soul pet, she chose a puppy of all creatures." 

"She received high level energy crystals. she could have chosen a griffin, a three clawed dragon, the saber cat. There were so many good options." 

"Maybe that's a two headed dog." 

"Show me the second head." 

At least these people did not recognize the hell hound or else they would create a fuss. Since Ezrah was not here she would be in and out with no disturbance. 

That's what she thought however today was not Scarlet's lucky day. As soon as her souls were delivered and registered, she was physically assaulted by someone. She felt this perception of danger but she had no idea where it was coming from. Before she could turn around, she was pushed down onto the ground by an energy force. 

"It's the high level reapers." she heard someone whisper. 

With a burning fury in her eyes, she looked up and around to see her assailant. All she saw was Severus who had grown to ten times his normal size holding a grim reaper down by the throat.

Scarlet stood up and readied her soul bounding rope to fight back. In all the places that she ever considered being attacked in her new life the underworld had never made her list. She always thought that this realm was peaceful and precise in it's handling of things. How wrong she was!

"What are you all doing?" a strong voice questioned them. 

She noticed a gorgeous female reaper in a red robe with waist long white hair and a thin jeweled crown with a big purple ruby on her head walking toward them. She was holding a staff in her hands, which looked like a walking stick even though she appeared to be physically fine with no sign of disability. Scarlet guessed that this staff was probably like the scythe held by other reapers. Behind her were two grim reapers also with staffs of their own. Hers glowed red at the top and theirs glowed yellow.

As the woman in red walked, reapers stepped aside, even the high level reapers that wanted to attack her. 

When she arrived closer to Scarlet, she stopped. "Severus the thirty first, is this how your father taught you to behave?" the woman asked the hell hound. 

"My father taught me nothing Lythia. But I know he would not want me to stand by and watch as my reaper is attacked." Severus responded. "This high level scum dared to attack a low level reaper with his power. In which world does that equal an fair fight?"

  "Let him go and we can dissolve the disagreement right here and now." Lythia told Severus. 

Severus was unwilling and he slapped the reaper in the face one more time with his paw before letting him go. The slap must have been heavy because the reaper howled so loudly, as if he was experiencing untold pain. 

"You are still as obedient as ever I see." Lythia told Severus with a smile. 

Severus ignored her and he walked slowly toward Scarlet. "You are so weak." he said to her. 

She heard him directly in her mind, just as she was about to thank him for defending her. Normally she would be offended at being called weak. Her pride would be wounded and she would be seeking a painful retort. But today, after being attacked by another reaper, she willingly took in Severus's words. Of course she was weak, she had only been cultivating her soul power for a few days. However, she was now resolved. The resolve with which she trained herself to fight, kill and survive in the zombie apocalypse would be the same resolve with which she would conquer the underworld.

"I will work harder." she replied.

The red robed woman Lythia looked at the leader of the the group of five high level reapers. 

"Jonas, why is one of your members attacking another reaper?" she asked with a smile on her face. 

Jonas shook his head, on his face was some frustration. "We just wanted to talk to her about the hell hound, Ulysses decided to attack her on his own."

"Why did you want to talk about the hell hound?" Lythia asked him.

"We fed the hound for a year, using our best resources. It turned around and escaped only to enter into a contract with a low level reaper. It's an insult to us. He could have picked someone on our level and we would understand but her." Jonas looked at Scarlet with a disgusted look on his face as if she was waste and trash.

Scarlet responded defensively, "He initiated the contract, I did not even know about it until the next day." 

Some people mumbled but she barely heard what they said. 

"Silence." Lythia said and all went quiet. 

"I want to challenge her to an Ummu."  Ulysses said in a weak voice. 

She heard some gasps come from all around and more than a few whispers but since she did not know what Ummu meant, she was confused.

"Say no right now." Severus said loudly to Scarlet. 

One of the reapers behind Lythia released a white looking energy that hit Ulysses who had just managed to stand up in the chest and he fell down again. howling as loudly as before. 

"You young reapers have no sense of respect." Lythia laughed, "I said silence and yet he chose not to do as I said. Jonas, your group seems to be lacking in discipline but I will remedy that on your behalf. For attacking a fellow reaper, causing a disturbance in the realm and forgetting the role of fate in our world, I find you five guilty. Send them all to the hall of wills, they should return to their senses in a few days. 

I am being very generous by the way, if this happens one more time I will strip you of your soul power and turn you into soul energy. We can never have too many soul crystals after all."

A reaper standing behind Lythia opened a portal of sorts with his hands and the five reapers were sucked into it. 

They wailed as they went in and Scarlet shivered. Who was this red robed woman, why  did she wield so much authority? Why were her servants strong and what was Ummu?
