My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 699 - A Fragment Of Power 1

-----

Yggdrasil contacted Frank out of nowhere, apparently there was something forcing her to go berserk for some reason! There was some sort of power within her, or "something" that she called that was making her go insane, to the point that any plants began to obey this insanity and went berserk as well, attempting to attack anything. This was perhaps the major reason they became berserk, although his Job still enhanced their power, and also that of Yggdrasil herself. Apparently, something inside of her "awakened" this "something" seemed to not be part of her but was inside of her nonetheless, and when it awakened thanks to the boost in power she received from Frank's new Job, it made her go insane.

Frank heard Yggdrasil's pained voice, as he quickly decided to go help her. However, she was going rampant and her attacks were incredibly devastating, she was the strongest of all the plant monsters, and her power change the whole landscape, anyone that wasn't able to fly began to fall into enormous sinkhole that she created by shacking. her roots inside the earth and breaking it apart. Frank told Hades what happened, as Hades understood and led the army of Undead against Yggdrasil with the intent of putting a stop to her roots, while Frank flew towards Yggdrasil.

BOOOM! CLAAASH! TRUUUMM…!

Yggdrasil's enormous roots continued to fight, as the undead began to be destroyed in masse, however, Hades continued to summon them over and over again, detonating them as they were about to be destroyed to cause some little damage to this powerful tree. Nezhit and Zero combined their strength as well, unleashing a barrage of powerful death-attribute-infused attacks that continued to slice through the powerful defenses of the hard bark of the Yggdrasil tree, continuously pushing them back from where they came from.

Frank also attacked, mostly unleashing raw death divinity spheres out of his body and making them explode, these spheres were called Death Stars, and were made out of his cosmic powers assimilating his divinities and turning them into stars rotating around him, which he continuously fired against Yggdrasil to stop her insane rampage.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"Graaaaahhh…!"

The screams of Yggdrasil resonated within Frank's soul, as he felt part of her pain as both were connected together, he gritted his teeth, moving forward and slashing through countless roots and branches trying to stop him, until he finally reached her trunk, and used his spear to slash through the bark and get inside of the deepest core of her internal body.

SLAAAASH!

BOOOM!

Suddenly, Frank found himself in a hollow space inside of her body, where there was only darkness… And a glowing thing. This thing resembled a broken fragment of glass that was glowing with blue cosmic light, it emanated a bright light and seemed to even possess shiny stars inside… What was this thing even? Frank's eyes looked at the item in awe, as he heard Yggdrasil's voice.

"T-Take that away! It… It has been inside of me for some time, feeding me with power but now it is too much…!" She cried.

"Won't you die if I do?!" Asked Frank.

"No… I may weaken a bit, but I won't!" She said.

However, before Frank could answer her, the Yggdrasil's interior began to shake, as spears made of sharp wood began to surge from all her surroundings and attempted to pierce through his body! All of the spears began to clash and fall over him, Frank evaded and intercepted a few, until he finally reached the glass-like fragment, and touched it!

FLAAAASH!

The moment he touched it; Frank felt as if he was teleported elsewhere. This place… it was mildly familiar to him; it was as if he was floating in the middle of space. Beautiful stars, planetoids, nebulas, and more were all floating around him, making up a cosmic scenery.

And then, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice resonated across this space, as Frank realized that the one speaking to him was nobody else but his father, who he had not seen ever since he woke up from his comatose state.

"Frank…"

"Father?!"

"You've found it…"

"I've found what…? And how are you here?"

"This is… a piece of your own powers."

"What?"

Frank was left surprised, a piece of his own powers? What could his father even meant by that? Frank began to ponder this, but his father spoke once more.

"I told you before that your power was sealed, right? Part of that power, when it was sealed, ended fragmenting apart without me realizing it. After you awakened your Trait, these fragments moved independently, their power was so great that they gained some sort of consciousness, and such fragments flew into different places, away from you, as they knew they would ultimately lose their independence if you were to once absorb them… Apparently, one of them ended inside your divine realm, becoming the core of Yggdrasil, this giant tree…"

"My fragmented power… Wait, my own power ran away from me? Seriously?!" Asked Frank, he thought that such a thing was a bit ridiculous, but his whole origins were as well, so it wasn't so far-fetched when he put himself into such a perspective.

"It is hard to believe, I know. I am merely a small leftover essence of your true father left inside of this fragment, so I know all of what the fragment has seen. Quickly, devour it and regain a piece of your true powers. You've grown strong, I am sure you should be able to bear with the exhaustion that comes with it." Said his father. Frank didn't had much time to think, and quickly decided to go with the flow and absorb this power while he still could.

"Very well…!"

Frank quickly began to absorb the entire power of this fragment, as his very soul suddenly engulfed the glass-like piece completely, suddenly it felt as if Frank regained a part of his soul that had once been lost. His father had sealed his dangerous powers that could kill him but, in the process, a big part of such power ended fragmenting away into these pieces… And he finally found one.
