Novel Full Chapter 229 - Great Gains
-----
A new day came in Terra, as Frank felt the warm light of the sun coming from the windows bathing over his nude chest.
The moment he woke up he realized he had a lot of pending System Notifications and things to do regarding his System, so he decided to finally check everything while it was still early in the morning.
First of all, Frank decided to assess all the completed quests, which were mostly about increasing his Mana Core Rank, gaining several App Points, and simple rewards such as loot boxes.
Aside from that, he had also completed long ago the quest about forming a bond with Gwendolyn and the rest, which rewarded him with the unlocking of the App Shop, which he had planned on using whenever he stockpiled enough App Points.
He found within this shop a ton of useful items and found out that there was a search function where he could type whatever he thought about, however, any rather outstanding item, such as the one where he found Hades Soul Fragment were incredibly costly, and even as he was now, he could not afford them…
Nonetheless, he was planning in using his App Points to buy a few things… there were even Skill Books and Magic Books available, and it was up to his imagination to find what he wanted, however, such Skill and Magic Books were mostly around D to C Grade, anything from B and above would cost a big fortune in App Points.
However, with his new Skill Fusion Function, Frank could stockpile a bunch of Skills and fuse them, although he was also planning to go back to earth and buy skill books there too, as there was a rather bigger variety and perhaps even cheaper than the APP shop in some regards.
From all the "normal" completed quests, Frank got 45.000 App Points, and also 10 [Rainbow Commemorative Reward Package (B)]!
Alongside this, Frank checked his Inventory to find a ton of more items, treasure chests, and more that he had yet to open.
He began to think that they could have come in hand if he opened them before the whole ordeal with the Goblin King happened, and thought of himself as too stupid back then because he was rushing things too much and disregarding such an opportunity to grow stronger.
Today he was sure to open them all, however, to his surprise there were more Quests completed.
"Even more quests?"
The quests were all about him fighting the Gods, awakening a part of his original power as an Overseer, defeating (and eating) an Abyssal Horror, and befriending Axitl… there was even one about him slaving the Gods (lol).
Ding!
[The [Awaken your Power as a Half-Overseer!] Quest has been completed]
[You acquired a large amount of EXP (stockpiled), 10.000 APP Points, and the [Soul Weapon Treasure Chest (S)]!]
Ding!
[The [Defeat the Abyssal Horror!] Quest has been completed]
[You acquired a large amount of EXP (stockpiled), 10.000 APP Points, and the [Abyssal Monstrous Treasure Loot Crate (A)]!]

[The [Befriend the Chaos Goddess, Axitl!] Quest has been completed]
[You acquired a large amount of EXP (stockpiled), 15.000 APP Points, Increased Bond with Axitl, and the [Divine Abyssal Chaotic Loot Crate (S)]!]
"And that's all…" sighed Frank, being overwhelmed by the quests.
After this, it was time to assess the Titles.
[You acquired the [God Slayer] Title!]
[You acquired the [The One that Defies the Gods] Title!]
[You acquired the [Soul Breaker] Title!]
[By the effects of the [God Slayer] Title, you learned the [God Slayer: Level 1] Skill!]
[By the effects of the [The One that Defies the Gods] Title, you learned the [Divine Enemy: Level 1] Skill!]
[By the effects of the [Soul Breaker] Title, you learned the [Soul Break: Level 1] Skill!]
"Hm… Let's fuse them, they seem to work together in tandem," thought Frank.
Ding!
[You have spent 20.000 App Points!]
[The [God Slayer: Level 1], [Divine Enemy: Level 1], and [Soul Break: Level 1] Skills have been merged into the [God Devourer: Level 1] Skill!]
[God Devourer: Level 1/10]
The Power to devour the divinity and soul of Gods and assimilate their powers like yours.
This Skill makes any of your attacks deal extra damage to any entity you deem as a "foe" while doubling your damage dealt with any foe that has some sort of Divinity.
Additionally, you can break and manipulate souls more freely.
…
"Amazing. With this, there are even more possibilities for me to defeat the Gods that oppose me in Terra, I believe that most of them will not want to obey me as easily… More snacks for me then," thought Frank rather ruthlessly, he was not the child he was before.
Aside from this Skill, Frank had seen many Skills level up, some of them had already reached Max level due to the bonus Skill Proficiency he earned after the battle.
He began to consider that many of such Skills came in handy when he fought the Gods, even though he ignored his System, the System itself was part of his very soul, his Trait originating from his Infinite Origin, and he began to realize that many of such Skills were the reason why he was able to do many things in these battles.
The Magic Skills and his versatility with them through Ultimate Magic and Mana Control gave him the power to fuse magic elements at will and generate new Spells to find ways to fight back against the Gods spells.
Divine Sense helped him sense the movements of the Gods with amazing precision.
Aberrant God Soul was an upgrade to Frank's soul, which already made it almost god-like even before ascending to the divine soul, giving him a large boost in power.
Spectral Soul Embodiment helped Frank embody his soul as something solid, being able to imitate the Gods' ability to materialize their divine souls as well, with this, he was able to unleash the Ancient One within his soul and materialize it as enormous tentacles and maws.
Also, he used the Dracolich Skills such as the scaled armor and the claws to deal greater damage, even more, he used the domain of wrath and gluttony to enhance all of his capabilities while giving all of his soul the power to eat souls.
And if it was not enough, Frank used through the entire fight the power of the Gluttonous Soul-Eating Fighting Techniques Skill, which let him use Fighting Techniques in exchange for large quantities of Mana to deal large amounts of damage, alongside being able to eat souls with his hits.
And lastly, Frank had been using Wrath and Gluttony too, consuming his sanity and soul to enhance all of his power even more… however, now that he had completely refined the Sins and his soul had grown so much, even activating Wrath was not as terrible as long as he did not overuse it.
And because he was slowly munching the souls of the Gods, his own soul was regenerating as he fought even when it was being also consumed by Wrath.
Frank noticed that all of these Skills gained one or two levels as well, enhancing his battle capacity.
And then…
Ding!
[You Devoured a [Large Piece of Chaos Divinity], [Large Piece of Beast and Nature Divinity], [Large Piece of Space Divinity], and [Large Piece of Time Divinity]!]
[All the Divinity Pieces have been integrated into your soul!]
[Your power soars! All of your stats have increased!]
[Some of the World Source Energy within the Divinity Fragments have been fed into your Mana Core!]
[Your Mana Core has ascended into the [Mana Core Quality Enhancement Realm (Rank 5: Initial Stage]!]
Flash!
Frank immediately felt as his Mana Core began to enhance on its quality, shining brightly with a deep white and black light!
The Mana Core began to refine itself, becoming better and more beautiful, while overflowing Frank's body with enormous quantities of Mana!
[All your stats have increased, you earned App Points and Skill Proficiency Bonus, and several Skills have leveled up!]
Even more power!
Frank felt completely different than he used to be, after so long, he was finally achieving greater heights of strength, and it only took him biting a few Gods!
Perhaps he should bite them repeatedly as they regenerated their souls, so Frank could constantly get a slight powerup…
Although he thought that such a thing might end up affecting the Gods' mentality due to the pain, and he wanted them to be sane if possible.
But he considered asking Thineas for a Divine Soul Fragment.
Ding!
[Your Soul Cultivation Realm has ascended into [Divine Soul Core Creation Realm]!]
"This… about time!"
Flash!
Once more, Frank changed!
His soul grew enormous, like a sea of ethereal brilliance and abyssal darkness!
Extending all around!
Suddenly, it began to cover everyone in the house, even the house itself!
"W-What is going on Frank!?" asked Gwendolyn, waking up in a hurry.
"My soul is evolving, calm down," said Frank, petting Gwendolyn as he sat cross-legged and put his mind into his soul.
He saw as his soul created connections with everyone he loved and cared for, his Undead, Tamed Monsters, and even Clishya who was inside the Town!
He even felt the Gods (although he did not love them), and Vheslia, Grandwing, and even the bastard of Rabrudion!
These soul connections began to guide these people to his path… like Divine Protections, enhancing their growth and capabilities!
