Novel Full Chapter 223 - Frank's Resolve
-----
Abraddon and Thineas glanced at Frank's eyes.
They were blazing with resolve and with a strong conviction like they had not ever seen before.
He was not angered, but he had come to get things done.
Even such gods who had lived for thousands of years felt their weakened souls shiver as they felt his presence, the small bit of power he had unlocked from his true Overseer Soul was enough for even Gods to recognize Frank as someone with authority.
Axitl had already experienced this feeling, but now that Frank had seemingly calmed down his anger as she paid for what she did (mildly), she felt like she was now being… protected by this might that Frank unleashed from his soul.
He was not even here with his physical body, but his entire presence was outstanding.
Even if the Gods present here were technically stronger than him… they felt that there was something deep within Frank that made him different than before.
He had not only matured, but have also evolved as a person, his mind was clearer than ever before, and he even had a greater purpose ahead of his path.
He was no longer doubting, he was going to act.
And through such training that he did while in a coma, all those years he spent inside of his Inner Realm… Frank had a lot of time to realize many things and understand what was happening around him.
He had a lot of time to think things through, and to change for the better…
He was not going to let these Gods play games with him, he was going to become the game master.
And he had already completed the first step, getting Axitl to apologize, and to give him what he wanted.
She accepted while trembling, of course, but things were done.
Frank knew that he was being ruthless, but he did not care.
In fact, he enjoyed being like this, he enjoyed being direct.
If he had the power to do things… he simply had to do them.
That was it, just as simple as that.
Frank thought many times how foolish he used to be.
But now, things were about to change, things were going to be different.
And if these Gods were to not agree with him, he was going to force them.
"It is good to see you again, Frank…! But what do you mean by not playing games anymore?" asked Abraddon.
"Frank… You are awake! I am so glad… What did you say? And is that… AXITL-CHAN?!" asked Thineas, as she tried to walk towards Frank who was tightly grasping Axitl's hips.
"Not a step further, Thineas, let's keep our distance," said Frank.
"…Eh? Frank?" asked Thineas.
"I have come to speak you a few things. And just as I said before, I am done with playing games with you two, well, with those spying on us right now too," said Frank, glaring at the sky as Zudithe and Judith felt his gaze cross through their Divine Souls like a piercing spear!
"Ngh…?!" groaned Zudithe.
"T-That's… the stare of an Overseer… Haha, he really got us," sighed Judith.
The two figures suddenly teleported near Abraddon and Thineas in an instant, surprising the two Gods once more.
"Eh?! You two! Were you really spying on us?!" asked Thineas in anger.
"Yes…" said Zudithe.
"Indeed, we do, just for safety measures, we have to spy in all our siblings…" said Judith.
"WHAT?! You…!" roared Thineas, as she was stopped by Abraddon's tail that entangled her torso.
"Calm down," said Abraddon.
"What are you even on, Abraddon? They were spying on us! Degenerates! I am going to slap them really well! …You seem way too calm," said Thineas.
"Frank… He is not joking around, Thineas… Take him seriously," said Abraddon, his eyes seemed to constantly stare at Frank's eyes, the fierce beast God was feeling the pressure of Frank as if he were an abyssal being that could devour him at any time…
Frank was truly… different.
"And you even brought Axitl with you… What are you planning?" asked Zudithe.
"Speak, Frank," said Judith.
"I don't need your permission to speak," said Frank, glaring at Judith with a slight bit of anger, making the Goddess feel paralyzed…
"I have come for the sole purpose of facing you bunch, and telling you to get your shit together already," said Frank.
"W-What?" asked Zudithe.
"Our shit… together?" asked Judith.
"Don't pretend you don't know what I am talking about… Axitl right here is the proof of your irresponsibility as God. You left her alone for thousands of years and now you are not even trying to amend with her, even though she is literally the strongest goddess amongst all of you? Meanwhile, Zudithe and Judith are spying on us while planning to enslave the Demon King," sighed Frank.
"That's…" muttered Thineas.
"So that's… what you want… Wait, how did you know their plans?" asked Abraddon.
"It was easy to guess. I can now see glimpses of possible futures whenever I activate an Ability. Seeing what might happen in these futures and then guessing the rest, I was able to easily guess what you two were planning," said Frank.
"You… How many powers have you unlocked from your Overseer lineage?" asked Zudithe.
"This…" muttered Judith.
"Enough to surprise you, I suppose. My father always said that I should never let others decide my future, that I have to carve it myself…" said Frank.
"But Frank, why would you say that we are playing games with you?" asked Abraddon.
"Yeah, we had only been trying to help you out… With our Divine Protections, and even letting you train in our Divine Realm…" said Thineas.
"I also gave you my support, and accepted you in this world… Even though you were an outsider! Don't be so disrespectful with your benefactor!" said Abraddon.
"Yes, I do appreciate some of the help… but benefactor? Do you really think that you can call yourself my benefactor, Abraddon? You helped me grow faster with your blessing, maybe, but it was not near as enough compensation for the immense responsibility that you gave me, an outsider, as your supposed Hero… To begin with, all of you are a bunch of idiots. How can you think that making a mortal a hero will resolve the problem with the Demon King? Are you truly Gods? I feel like all of you are toddlers with a few supernatural powers and no idea how to effectively use them, the whole Demon King is already proof of your incompetence," said Frank.
As Frank dropped a bit of truth, the Gods fell completely silent.
Axitl's face became redder as she saw Frank with a new light.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"So? I suppose that your silence is already proof that what I said might be true," said Frank.
However, Abraddon suddenly began to engulf himself in an aura of rage!
His heads roared angrily, his eyes turned red, and his entire body began to bulge with muscles!
"GRRR… Frank, you ungrateful mortal! Perhaps I have to beat some sense in your head! Don't think that because you awakened a bit of power that you can match a God such as myself, know your place!" roared Abraddon, surprising the other three paralyzed Gods with his Divine Anger, as he flew directly towards Frank, opening his jaws with sharp teeth and showing off large claws on his several limbs!
"W-Wait, Abraddon!" cried Thineas.
"Don't, you fool!" said Zudithe.
"It's too late… he'll understand…" sighed Judith.
"Hah, a weakened and formerly wounded God such as you is no match for me, Abraddon, don't make me laugh," sighed Frank, as he quickly shapeshifted out of nowhere, leaving Axitl's at his side!
Everyone glanced as Frank turned into an abyssal creature, a chaotic beast, a mass of black slime and flesh with giant tentacles, crimson eyes, and enormous jaws!
"This is a bit of my actual power, care to taste?" asked Frank, as he charged his entire soul with his cosmic magic and slapped Abraddon who was flying towards him with immense might!
BOOOOOOOM!!!
"NNNNGGAAAHGGHH…!"
Abraddon fell over the floor with a thunderous sound, creating a giant explosion in the ground that left a large crater!
All of his heads began to vomit golden blood, as several of his bones broke!
His soul felt weakened too as if someone had taken a large chunk off it!
"W-What… kind of power you got…?" groaned Abraddon while gasping for air.
Frank quickly shapeshifted back to his original human form, as he sighed, his eyes glowing with red light.
"You should listen when I say that you were no match for me. You were weakened for years, and just recently healed by ME. Your power as a God has lowered so much that you cannot even do anything on the surface anymore, the only thing you have left is to observe like a fool as everything you built is destroyed by the Demon King and its spawns… Your physiology and soul might be that of a God, but a God without enough energy is nothing but a mildly strong soul," said Frank.
"Nnngh… Aagghh… It hurts…" groaned Abraddon, gasping for air like a wounded puppy.
Thineas quickly ran towards him while crying.
"Idiot, why do you have to be so aggressive?! I told you to not do such a thing! (Frank… What kind of power did he acquire?)" wondered Thineas, as she caressed Abraddon's lion head while glaring at Frank with a new light as well.
Zudithe and Judith then noticed Frank, as he was munching something within his mouth and then swallowing it…
"He… ouch… took a piece of my soul! That is not allowed!" said Abraddon, groaning like an angered old man.
"I will take it as compensation for your irresponsibility and also because you dared to raise your hand against your new master," said Frank.
"Master…? What are your real intentions, Frank?!" asked Zudithe.
"If you want me to save your world, it will first become mine," said Frank.
