21st Century Necromancer

Frankenstein, the protagonist of the novel "Frankenstein," was a genius scientist who, with his extraordinary medical knowledge, assembled an eight-foot-tall monster from stolen corpses and endowed it with life, animating it and turning it into a living being.

However, he abandoned the creature he had created because of its hideousness, subjecting it to a series of rejections and disdain, until the originally kind-hearted monster, faced with people's rejection, became angry and brutal. Frankenstein destroying the companion he had promised to create for the monster was the final straw that drove the creature to insane vengeance, even killing Frankenstein's beloved bride on their wedding night.

In the legends that followed, the original creature came to be known as Frankenstein's Monster, and Frankenstein, the name of its creator, became the moniker for the creature itself.

This was once just a story, but when the story's creator, through the belief people placed in it, became a being almost equivalent to a demigod, everything in the story also became reality.

When Mary Shelley once more began writing about the monster she had created within her own domain, the monster truly descended.

But looking at this monster, Chen Yu showed no concern for the threat it posed, merely heaving a deep sigh, "What a pity, if you were just Mary Shelley, by now you would have been a deity."

"If I were just Mary Shelley, how could I have gathered the accumulations of three lifetimes to attain all this?" Mary Shelley said with a serene smile, bearing a hint of regret, "Back then, I had no idea that a book could bring me so much. I merely wanted to fill the void and truly resurrect myself by leveraging the accumulation of three lifetimes. Little did I know that the final piece I lacked would take a full two hundred years to appear."

At this, Mary Shelley turned to Chen Yu and earnestly pleaded, "Your Excellency the Demigod, could you return my missing piece to me? If you're willing to return it, I can agree to any condition you ask, even assisting you in becoming divine is no problem."

Mary Shelley considered the offer she had made quite generous; she didn't think that Chen Yu, as a demigod, would refuse such an opportunity to advance further.

However, to her surprise, Chen Yu refused.

"I lack not the methods for becoming divine, and I have my own plans for how to achieve it, so please forgive my refusal," Chen Yu's voice emanated from within the angel statue, uttering a statement that starkly changed Mary Shelley's countenance, "Moreover, the Mysticism School's soul-separation resurrection ritual, after losing the body and intellect, and forcibly resurrecting yourself with just bone, soul, spirit, and primal matter, and then trying to forcibly make up for it through three lifetimes of rebirth, has long tainted your essence. Even if you were to complete your physique and intellect, are you really capable of resurrecting and thereby breaking through the final barrier to immortality?"

"How could you know? Such an ancient mystical ritual should have been long lost!" Mary Shelley's face showed surprise and panic. She had never expected that her greatest reliance for divinity would be known to the other, who had pointed out flaws even she had been unaware of.

Hearing Mary Shelley's astonishment, Chen Yu couldn't help but show a wry smile and said, "It seems that the person who taught you this method did not tell you its origin and you did not understand the essence of the ritual. It's no wonder you ended up like this. Having lost both the body and intellect, the sublimation steps have lost their two most crucial ladders; there is no way you can break through the bounds of a demigod."

Chen Yu, hidden within the angel statue, shook his head and sighed, "You were too hasty. Indeed, the three life cycles could allow you to resurrect, but at the same time, they have defiled the purity of your soul. The terror brought forth by Bloody Mary or the reverence brought by the Mother of Science Fiction could have been enough for you to break through the shackles of a demigod. However, since your very essence is no longer pure and the three life cycles have mingled these two concepts, they have become the chains that imprison you, unless you can abandon one of them, you will never be able to become a demigod."

It was only now that Chen Yu truly understood how this space, and so many bizarre entities within it, had come into existence.

Simply put, this is the Divine Kingdom of Queen Mary.

In her time, Queen Mary acquired knowledge of the Mysticism School and the Resurrection Ritual from an unknown source, likely during the period when she had been dethroned. As for why she would use the Resurrection Ritual, Chen Yu speculated that it might have been related to her lack of an heir.

However, an error occurred during her resurrection ritual; the Human Skin Book, a crucial prop, went missing, forcing her to compensate through the transmigration of three lifetimes which led to the creation of the personas Marie Antoinette and Mary Shelley.

This plan could have completed her deficiencies, and even if she couldn't become a deity, breaking through to demigod status should have been possible.

Yet, in the Victorian Era, her efforts to ascend to godhood ultimately came to naught, and along with the embryonic Divine Kingdom, she was sealed and became a memory of London.

Chen Yu wasn't exactly clear on what happened back then, but considering the Victorian Era marked the zenith of the British Empire, ruling over territories all around the world, for Queen Victoria, who crafted the Empire's splendor, to seal a problematic Legendary being, a remnant who sought to restore a deposed dynasty, was not a difficult task, even if that being possessed the power of a demigod.

As for the reason this space harbored so many unusual existences, Chen Yu guessed it was a consequence of her last-minute attempts at Divine Enthronement.

Because her very foundation was that of a resurrected mythological Ghosts and Monsters, the entities influenced by her also skewed towards such beings, allowing these existences to absorb the faith brought about by their respective myths and thus acquiring an unkillable nature.

These unkillable entities could now be referred to as Godly Abominations.

Since the British Government could not destroy them, they opted to make use of this sealed half-god kingdom's remnants as a prison, tossing all these "Prisoners" into it.

Having understood all this, Chen Yu abandoned the idea of killing Queen Mary. Even though she was not a demigod, she had already acquired the essence of Becoming Divine, and Chen Yu couldn't completely destroy her; at best, he could only seal her just like Queen Victoria did in the past.

While Chen Yu was contemplating how to seal Queen Mary, Jounouchi Hiromi's class change ritual reached a crucial moment.

What exceeded Chen Yu's expectations was that she was actually absorbing the power in this space that should have belonged to Queen Mary.

"Essence Plunder? Hiromi, so this was your plan all along!" As Chen Yu saw the power related to blood that belonged to Queen Mary being continuously absorbed by the altar below, he instantly understood why Jounouchi Hiromi had chosen this specific moment for her ascension.
