Chapter 260 - Powerful Child
-----
As Frank wondered the names he could give to his children, he suddenly realized that he would need to first know the gender and everything…
And then concluded something…
"Wait, can't I check it right away?" he thought.
He quickly made Gwendolyn standstill as he petted her belly, she still didn't have the baby belly, and her belly was a bit sturdy due to her high strength stat, although nothing too strong like Cathyl's muscles that were like rock.
"Hm? F-Frank?" she asked with curiosity.
"Wait… let me… see something…" said Frank, as he began to touch more of Gwendolyn's belly, going a bit down, right above her skirt…
"W-Wait, n-not here on public…" she said while blushing.
"Sorry but just this once…" said Frank.
Gwendolyn felt shocked!
What was this all of the sudden?
Did Frank got excited after all the kisses and talks? Well, it was rather obvious, he was a young and healthy man after all, or so Gwendolyn thought.
However, wasn't what he was doing way too outrageous?!
Maybe he could use magic to be undetected, but would he go as far as doing it on… front of people in the square?!
Gwendolyn feared that Frank might have a degenerate side… although she couldn't help but feel excited about such a thing…
She blushed even more as she started to breathe hard, Frank quickly noticed it and asked her what was wrong with her.
"Gwendolyn?" he asked.
"Hahh… F-Fine, but… let's do this quickly…" she said while touching her panties and slowly moving them down.
"W-Wait a second, I didn't mean that!" said Frank while blushing intensively.
"Eeeh?" asked Gwendolyn, feeling a bit more surprised.
"W-What did you thought I was doing? I am trying to see our child… Wait a bit, okay? S-Sorry for making you misunderstood… (Thought I never expected her to have that kinky side… Maybe we should really do it anyway? I don't know…)" said Frank while thinking that pleasing Gwendolyn's kinks might not be so bad… or perhaps it was and he should stop thinking about that.
Finally, Gwendolyn calmed down as Frank was able to detect what was within her womb.
He used his Divine Sense to see the child, as he quickly noticed many strange things that he had not yet noticed before!
FLASH!
His child… the power it was emanating was tremendous!
But how was it possible for Frank to not realize earlier?
…Well, it was simple, the power it had was automatically sealed within the child's soul!
However, by using Divine Sense, Frank was able to see through the child's soul and see the true power it was hiding.
He saw it…
It was like an enormous aura of many colors flowing freely, shaping itself as a beautiful nebula.
Frank delved more into Gwendolyn's womb through his Divine Senses, realizing that the child was a small fetus, probably the size of his palm.
He tried to inspect the fetus, and see it around, trying to find which gender it was… but he was not able to discern correctly, and decided to leave it be.
But by using Inspect on the fetus, he didn't get any result either… However, he was able to inspect the aura it exuded, interestingly enough.
[Aura of Effervescent Nebulas]
"E-Effervescent Nebulas…? So… that's how it is…" said Frank, sitting at last and glancing at the sky which was slowly turning black as the shiny stars shined brightly atop the black mantle of the night.
"Frank? W-What did you see?" asked Gwendolyn.
"I couldn't really see the gender. But indeed, it is there… It's really our child…" said Frank with a smile.
"I see… So I was really right. A mother's intuition is never wrong…" said Gwendolyn.
"There's… something else," said Frank.
"Hm? Is… there a problem?" asked Gwendolyn, feeling nervous that the child might have come with some problem such as a mutation or something.
"Oh… Well, I don't think I would call it a problem but… Just like I am a Half-Overseer. The child might also inherit such power…" said Frank while furrowing his eyebrows a bit.
"Inherit… such power? You mean… Oh my…" said Gwendolyn.
"Indeed… Our child… might be just incredibly strong. Which could also endanger its own life when it is young, so we will need to keep it in check. I might have to put a seal on it as my father did with me to keep its powers contained so it won't damage its body… In fact, I should do this right away because the power is slowly flowing out of it like a giant mass of energy. You might not sense it because of the difference in perceptions we have, but it might have negative effects on you…" said Frank.
"T-That's… Are you sure?" asked Gwendolyn, feeling a bit concerned.
"…I don't know," sighed Frank.
"Maybe it wouldn't be good to inhibit the child's growth since it is so young… I am strong too. I don't want to sound offensive, but I think I am way stronger than your mother was. You should simply have faith," said Gwendolyn.
"Faith… Okay, but just in case…" said Frank, thinking many steps ahead, he predicted that perhaps even then, there might be something going wrong at the end…
He quickly conjured several immensely powerful spells, which were like a seal, but instead of putting it directly into the child, the seals surrounded red the child, making it not leak the energy to the outside world nor the rest of the body.
However, Frank quickly realized yet another thing.
What if instead of the energy damaging Gwendolyn, it could be used to nourish her strength even more?
By using the natural leftover and residual energy of her child which it exuded naturally and without being forced, he could transmute this energy through specialized seals, which would administrate the energy into Gwendolyn's entire body and soul.
He felt a bit scummy by doing this though…
But it was simply repurposing this powerful residual energy, not draining it from the child, the child wouldn't lose any power. Frank would simply use what it is exuding, which already flows away from it anyways.
"Hm… Let's see…"
Frank began to change the runes of the seals made through all the types of magic he knew, combining them together to form different runes with specific things.
Although some runes were harder to make than others, such as the runes he used to filter the energy and make it "Clean", he also had to craft runes that made use of the residual energy left after the other energy was cleansed.
In fact, most of it was easy up to this point.
Until he simply came to the idea to just throw it outside. He made runes that threw these small specks of unclean energy into the outside world, which was too vast to be affected by them.
After around 20 minutes… it was done, and Gwendolyn didn't even know what Frank really did.
"This will help you grow stronger with the kid," said Frank with a gentle smile.
"Grow… stronger?" asked Gwendolyn.
Frank ended up telling Gwendolyn a bit of what he actually did, which she found way better than simply sealing the fetus' powers.
"So by using this residual energy… I will grow stronger through something like automatic cultivation…? This… I feel like it is quite unfair…" said Gwendolyn.
"You are my wife, I don't think it is unfair at all to have such an advantage," said Frank while petting Gwendolyn's head.
After their long date, the two finally decided to walk back home while holding hands, a bright future waiting ahead of them amidst the chaotic future that will also greet them…
