Chapter 261 - Striking Behind The Stealth Of The Night
-----
After two days since the date with Gwendolyn, Frank was visiting the Gods Divine Realm on his spiritual form for a few hours, checking on how things were there.
Hades was separated from Frank's soul, and given a new divine body, at the end, he became a being of his own, similar to a very weak Chaos and Death God.
However, Frank helped him grow stronger by giving him Status ad the ability to level up.
He began killing hundreds of monsters within Frank's Hunting Domains, continuously growing stronger bit by bit accompanied by the other gods.
Frank discovered that as the Gods leveled up more and gained Jobs, Skills, Spells, and more, their souls would regenerate quickly too, and they were slowly gaining more and more of the strength of their prime.
As of now, ever since they began to level up, Abraddon, Thineas, Zudithe, and Judith had increased their power as Gods rather vastly, although they were still far from their prime, they had accumulated a lot of raw power, not entirely divine power but raw power that could be replaced with it.
It could be said that this was the wonders of Frank's amazing Trait, the System itself, which was able to give such strength to anyone.
Alongside that, Frank also discovered he was able to revoke the System from anyone as well, so it wasn't as if Zudithe and Judith would be able to use this newly gained power to kill him, as he could easily revoke it from them, and they would go back to being weakened like before.
But they were not going to betray him, they had already learned who was on charge now, after being beaten repeatedly by Frank, that's it.
Frank also checked the Transmigration Cycle which was going rather fine, it was slowly stabilizing as it absorbed more and more souls, so things were becoming better for Terra as time went by.
Although there were still many Dead Spirits roaming everywhere, and Undead Monsters had become a common occurrence now… the gates of the City were now always being patrolled by Adventurers, which at the end caused them to earn more money, while those that bought the materials from the Undead monster such as their Mana Cores or even their corpses which could be used for potions and more earned a lot of money too.
The Undead were indeed a menace, but they had become into a way for the city to gain more riches than anything, as they never appeared to be too outstandingly strong, at most, there would be a Rank 3 Undead, which would be easily defeated by Frank's Guild, which was quickly gaining more and more popularity as time went by, now everyone knew about the Stargazers and their incredibly strong Rank 3 and Rank 4 members, with the leader being the mysterious Rank 5 Magus.
In these two days, Frank also noticed Gwendolyn's progress with the child, the residual aura energy was being successfully converted into good energy, which she then transferred through her body and used to cultivate her mana core and physical body, and even a bit of her soul.
Through this, she was gaining a bit of stats every day, and her cultivation was soon to reach Rank 4 Peak Stage.
Frank was also helping her cultivate thanks to their continuous nights of steamy passion, as he was able to transfer his inner energies while being connected to her through their constant sexual intercourse.
Although Frank didn't know exactly why it was possible, Gwendolyn had told him about tales of Magus who were able to transfer each other's mana through sexual intercourse and enhance their cultivation speed and progress more effectively than through other means.
And due to the immense amount of power that Frank possessed, Gwendolyn was able to acquire even more mana from him. Even while pregnant Gwendolyn was always eager to have sex with Frank every night, it seemed that Beast-kin didn't care about keeping themselves at bay while being pregnant… she was even more intense than before, even. Perhaps the energies she gathered from her child made her even more energetic at the bed.
…Not like Frank would complain.
Aside from that, everyone was growing stronger little by little through killing monsters inside of Orb's Dungeon, teleporting there through the Teleportation Gates set inside of Frank's Divine Realm.
Now that he had done various things, Frank felt that it was finally time to advance with his next plan, and take over the second biggest Criminal Organization within Westwind, the Shadow Snakes.
From Zero and her subordinates that spied there, Frank got to know a lot of things about the leader of the Organization, such as her strange transactions with the red-skinned demoness who served Gustav, Henrietta's brother, and a member of the Eastgrande Family that possessed the Jewel of Eternal Life.
The red-skinned demoness constantly came to her hideout to purchase several cultivation materials that they produced, stole, or brought from other places. Although it seemed that their relationship wasn't the best.
The spies that he sent back to the Lamia leader of the Shadow Snakes told her a lot of false information to the woman, who thought of it as the truth rather quickly. However, because Frank was a Rank 5 and all of his allies were Rank 4, she had decided to not take any action against him or his guild, letting them be for the moment.
Frank decided to finally strike as she seemed to have relaxed, and probably finally find more of the truth about what was going on behind the scenes.
Additionally, Frank planned to explore the Dungeon where the Tree of Rebirth was presumably, but it seemed that there were many expeditions of Adventurers getting there all the time, some organizations were already trying to get their claws on them.
He was preparing to go there soon enough, but first, he wanted to deal with the Shadow Snakes and possibly with Gustav, taking away the Jewel of Eternal Life from them after dealing with the Shadow Snakes.
There was also the mysterious Lone Wolves Organization, which was the biggest of them all, with a
Rank 5 Leader named Akron, this organization was also very close to the Shadow Snakes and Gustav and the Eastgrande Family, and Frank couldn't take things lightly with all of this.
Even more, because Akron desired the Jewel of Eternal Life.
And more importantly, something was lurking behind all of this which Frank was beginning to detect, and he wanted to stop it before it was to go down to something bad.
He knew that the red-skinned demoness was planning something bad and that what Gustav might be doing could be against his very will… he might have even been brainwashed.
Frank started to seek the truth quickly before it could fade away from his grasp. He needed to be quick and do things now.
It was already deep in the night, the moon was shining brightly atop the sky, and Frank ran around the shadows with Zero and her team behind him, alongside Gwendolyn at his side.
All of them were wearing black clothes, and Gwendolyn looked rather sexy in her tight black leggings.
But this was not important, as Frank had brought them here for what was to come.
He glanced at a large building, this was the manor where Dhuja Jyaryabha, the leader of the Shadow Snakes resided.
Like a force behind the shadows, Frank decided to strike behind the stealth of the night…
