Chapter 206: The Gods' Thoughts
-----
The Gods of Terra glanced at the world, worried about what was about to unfold.
Against their expectations, the Demon King was developing very fast, and in just a few months, it would be born…
However, it was not as if these months would be peaceful until the Child of Chaos were to be born…
Not at all.
Since the Demon King or the Child of Chaos is an immense entity within the depths of Terra, it rests over a gigantic ocean made of complete liquid miasma, corrupted mana capable of mutating, contaminating, and bringing the world to an apocalypse, its entire being was constantly shapeshifting.
As the Demon King's body shapeshifted and began to grow, many impurities and pieces of its own body fell off it through the Abyssal Sea, which then took consciousness of their own and became creatures known as Chaos Generals or Abyssal Spawns.
The world was not yet been destroyed by the Demon King, but there was already a very strong menace about to appear on the surface, bringing chaos and preparing the field for these creature's main bodies to emerge…
One of the entities had emerged near Acacia Town, in Abraddon's Nation.
And because it was their own domain, Abraddon and Thineas noticed this creature…
"Abraddon…! A Chaos General appeared in…!" muttered Thineas.
"I know! Where Frank is resting…! What should we do?!" muttered Abraddon.
"I am going down! We cannot let him die! Nor any of his friends!" said Thineas.
"Stop, Thineas, don't be reckless, you are not even strong enough to fight a Chaos General, you will get eaten by it!" said Abraddon.
"I am sure that I can kill it!" said Thineas.
"But you will get infected by the miasma, and you will most likely go insane and die!" said Abraddon.
"That's… But…! Frank… We can't…!" muttered Thineas.
"Frank's party possesses our blessings, they had grown strong! Let's trust in them… At the very least, let's not go down until things are completely hopeless… And we will do it together…" said Abraddon.
"Abraddon…" said Thineas, as she was about to cry sorrowfully.
The two Gods glanced at the fight at the edge of their seats, several times feeling the immense impulse of jumping off their Divine Realms and helping the people… their Hero was sleeping, and there was no one else to help them than his own party who had grown stronger.
However, when everything seemed hopeless and they were about to descend by creating a large rift in space, they were stopped by radiant energy that came from the underground.
"Eh?!" wondered Thineas in disbelief.
"That's… It cannot be… He woke up just now!" said Abraddon.
"It's Frank!!!" roared the Gods together, as they cheered for their Hero, who quickly flew towards the surface, now coated in enormous quantities of new power, and rushing towards the town.
They saw as he singlehandedly took down a Chaos General (Abyssal Spawn) and even… ate it!
Their eyes almost popped out of their eye sockets, they could not believe how strong Frank was now!
Although his Mana Core was only Rank 4 Upper Stage, his soul… his soul was only a single realm closer to become Divine!
And he had even acquired his own Origin Core, acquiring a Trait, a power that only Overseers or Primordial Deities held!
His Trait was obvious, it was his own System!
He had somehow learned to control his own Trait better, using his own System to fuse his powers amazingly, while also being able to absorb other powers through Gluttony.
Just as Zudithe and Judith told them, Frank was indeed an Overseer!
Or someone with similar powers to one…
After he woke up, a substantial part of his original power as an Overseer was unlocked from the depths of his soul, giving him enough power to achieve this level of strength!
"Amazing… Frank… He really woke up in the very last moment…" sighed Abraddon.
"Like a Hero, isn't it?" asked Abraddon with a calm smile.
"But… Now that he is finally awake, we need to tell him about the Demon King, and everything!" said Thineas.
"And I believe that Axitl also desires to speak with him… but she had been very silent these last months, and has been seeing the Demon King quite sorrowfully…" said Abraddon.
"Do you think that she…?" asked Thineas.
"It pains me to admit it. But Axitl and the Demon King are very similar beings… born from Chaos, residual corrupted miasma… perhaps she sees herself in the Demon King, and pities its existence…" sighed Abraddon.
"And after everything, she did in Frank's town… with the dungeon and all… And when Frank managed to break through everything when she gave him her powers… That was… very reckless of her…" sighed Thineas.
"We are to blame for such things as well… She spent a large amount of her early life alone…" said Abraddon.
"She doesn't want to speak with us either…" said Thineas.
"I mean, it was only because of Frank that she even spoke with us, to begin with. Without him as a mediator… our relationship is… well…" muttered Abraddon.
"Not so good… I wish she would give us a second chance… I just want to… cuddle with her and tell he that we love her so much… But she doesn't want our love…" sighed Thineas.
"I also love her, she is literally our daughter… She should have been the one that unified all of us Gods. But we became foolish and selfish… Our creations also brought the worst part of our minds… Sigh… Remember when we used to live in our original world?" asked Abraddon.
"Yes… Well, it was overpopulated of Gods, so many of us had decided to go away and create new worlds to stay, protect, and nurture… But… We never thought that everything would go so wrong…" said Thineas.
"We really thought that because we were Gods, we could do anything… But even with our combined powers, creating a whole world drained most of our energy, and we fell asleep for thousands of years…" said Abraddon.
"And Axitl, the Goddess born from the residual energy that we could not handle well due to our lack of experience in creating worlds, ended up alone, just when she needed parents the most…" said Thineas.
"The rest of the miasma… became the Abyssal Sea in the depths of Terra, a place we thought that it would never bring any damage because we had made sure to seal well… but as we slept, the seal weakened and at the end, the miasma contaminated the world and generated the Abyssal Spawns, alongside the Demon King…" said Abraddon.
"…Based on this, I've always wondered…" said Thineas.
"…You mean?" asked Abraddon.
"Isn't the Demon King our child as well?" asked Thineas.
"All our creations are our children, even the indirect ones… Yet… we force our children to kill the Demon King, who is also our children, so the world can keep prospering… But even then, it keeps forming again, being reborn and reborn…" sighed Abraddon.
"An endless cycle, the miasma is too much, it has been dissipating slowly these last hundreds of thousands of years, but there is still a lot left…" said Thineas.
"It will keep being born… and dying… but… do not know if we may be prepared for this. Every time it takes longer to be born, but every time it is also reborn stronger…" said Abraddon.
"It is frustrating to think that we cannot do much… If only… we had more power…" sighed Thineas.
"Although we cannot do much, we can create opportunities. Let's help Frank and his friends as much as we can through them…" said Abraddon.
"Abraddon… I guess you're right…" said Thineas with a smile, as she petted her giant brother.
Suddenly, a rift in space appears, startling the two Gods.
However, they quickly relax as they recognize this presence as the power of one of their siblings.
Zudithe, the God of Space.
Zudithe, although weakened similarly to them, had the power to manipulate space, and such power was as normal easy breathing for him, even weakened, he could do as much as teleporting inside another God Divine Realm with utmost ease.
However, this power was mostly limited to Terra itself, space which he controlled and maintained as the God of Space, so the world itself would not fragment into pieces while begin consumed by the Spatial Layers.
As a God of Space, his job was to maintain space within Terra's Spatial Territory.
And at his side, there was always the one that was given the job of keeping the flow of time stable within Terra's Spatial Territory, Judith, the Goddess of Time.
"Zudithe and Judith… Long time no see…" said Thineas.
"It has been some long months… Have you been resting to gather energy?" asked Abraddon.
"More or less… Although, we had also been observing and… noticing what has arrived here…" said Zudithe.
"Observing?" asked Thineas.
"We have been watching Frank's world, there is something that happened there due to his slumber, however, as he woke up now, such issue finally resolved itself…" said Judith.
"What issue?" asked Abraddon.
"Well, Frank's powers give him the ability to slow down the time of the Worlds he is connected with whenever he is not present in them. The difference was quite large, as one day spent in this world was only half an hour in his original world…" said Judith.
"Oh, that's… interesting…" said Abraddon.
"But what was the issue?" asked Thineas.
"His world stopped having this time difference when he fell asleep in this world, and it's time had begun to flow almost at the same time as ours, so all these months in here while he was asleep, also happened in here…" said Judith.
"Oh…" said Abraddon.
"Fear not, as the time has slowed down there the moment he woke up… thankfully," sighed Zudithe.
"However… there is another issue we must discuss…" said Judith with a serious tone of voice, one that their siblings had not heard in a long time…
