The Ring-Spirit barks out a strangely wheezing laugh when he addresses Dion's question. "H-HA! Not at all... my spirit had carried on past death more than once already, I'm familiar with that sensation. Besides, it's something of a ~special occasion~ when the apotheosized Pharaoh himself returns to the mortal plane in a blaze of glory to smite you personally."

Dion may or may not continue to have questions about the sort of being the Ring-Spirit had been before, given that whole statement.
