My World Traveling System: The Harbinger Of Death
Chapter 227 - A Deal With Gods
-----
By fragmenting a small part of his own soul and then giving a split of his will, Frank was able to parasitize Zudithe and Judith's souls, creating insurance in case these Gods decided that they did not want to obey this "invader" anymore.
For a moment, Frank considered if he should do the same with Abraddon and Thineas, and ultimately he did so.
The black-colored ethereal soul parasite entered the two Gods souls, seeping deeply and resting within…
"This should be enough for now…" sighed Frank, finally deciding to take a break.
"So, now what?" asked Axitl, who had just woken up.
"Now we talk. All of you, stop being such irresponsible people and work together, we have to save this world from the Watchers and the Demon King, fighting and making out stupid plans to betray each other is not the right thing to do." Said Frank rather directly and boldly.
"…We were doing what it was possible for us at the moment," said Zudithe.
"We indeed planned to use you for our plans, but it seems that… such plans will never come into fruition," said Judith.
"I will serve you, Frank. I shall do whatever I can to amend with my siblings, but you might have to… force them a bit too," said Abraddon.
"Oh? You will serve me, Abraddon? I thought you would fight more. Seeing how you were the first to strike," said Frank.
"That was a miscalculation of my part… You defeated me, so there is not much I can do, the strong govern the weak, that is how it is. Not like we can fight back either. We might as well cooperate, even more as I don't sense any hostility within you, and you just said you wanted to save our world despite what my siblings thought of you," said Abraddon.
"I am glad you understand, brother… If all of you were not so stupidly aggressive for no reason other than being prideful, everything could have been resolved peacefully!" said Thineas.
"Indeed… I also wanted a change, I suppose Frank has a lot of points, I was kind of driven by the anger of his insolence, but he was right at the end…" sighed Abraddon.
"We have not said that he was not right… It just that we didn't want to give our world to others…" said Zudithe.
"However, he is indeed strong. Perhaps he does have the power to do as he says… Well, we have no other option than believing him now and helping however we can… but now we are rather weakened," said Judith.
"And? Will you apologize to Axitl?" asked Frank.
The Gods were then paralyzed.
"…"
Axitl glanced at the four Gods with a sorrowful expression, after being almost brainwashed by Zudithe and Judith, she felt terribly weak and angered… those she once saw as her parents had tried to do such a terrible thing to her… she was not willing to forgive them no matter what they said.
"I don't think whatever we say will calm her anger," said Zudithe.
"We can only say that we did it because it was necessary, but… we are aware that it was something terrible. We were… ready to carry the sins of such things," said Judith.
"But just as Frank said, perhaps we had a narrow sight over the whole situation… Instead of trying to convince you to help us, we thought that it was not possible to speak with you normally, and we ended up fabricating such an item," said Zudithe.
"But… we spoke a few months ago regarding Frank taking my dungeons… I thought that there could have been a chance there… So even when you were nice with me in that time, you still… planned this?" asked Axitl.
"Yes…" said Zudithe.
"We did…" said Judith.
"The only thing we can say is that… we are sorry," sighed Zudithe.
"We should have tried to be better parents… and not have such mechanical thought processes about the situation and… your relationship with us. After all, we are not machines, we have emotions… feelings… things that we had neglected through many years as we became the observers of the world," said Judith.
"And just like us, you also possess emotions, a personality, and a soul. We should have been a better person… but, as Gods, it is easy to strive from the path of emotions and become… rather cold and calculative. Our Divinities don't help with this issue either," said Zudithe.
"Space and Time are natures not related with nature as much as our siblings, so our lack of emotions might be intensified as we delve into lives concentrated into a certain task. Nonetheless, none of such things should be considered a reason why we did this, it is justifiable only for our own means of saving the world, but… we realize that they are not if we consider your emotions," said Judith.
"Once more, we are sorry," said Zudithe.
"Sorry, Axitl…" said Judith.
Both Gods of Space and Time, weakened and pathetic, kneeled before the young Goddess of Chaos, as she felt like whatever crap they spoke about did not amend anything they did to her.
"It is hopeless. I do not feel anything anymore anyways… Only some kind of disgust for you two… Do whatever you want, I hope you can be of use for Frank…" sighed Axitl, without even feeling any more rage.
However, her simple words seemed to have affected Zudithe and Judith, causing "disgust" to the one daughter they created felt rather terrible…
But she also seemed to have ended up neutral into all of this, desiring that they worked hard for Frank.
"Well, that's that. And my plan? I will convince the Demon King of allying us. I am already imagining that the Watchers have not completely delved into the world as they see my presence as dangerous, and most likely want to use the Demon King as a cleanser of the world itself, so they can extract the Origin Core, right?" asked Frank, he knew many things now, and when he ate the fragments of the Gods and got their memories, he learned even more things and was just as knowledgeable about such things as them, if not more.
"You will convince the Demon King?" asked Zudithe.
"Shouldn't you use the Nexus Cube? It is a way better option," said Judith.
"I will. However, I will also weaken it enough first and then see how it goes…" said Frank.
"For now, the important thing is that I need all of you stronger. If you want to really help me stop them, all of you require to regain strength," said Frank.
"Regain strength…? But how?" asked Abraddon.
"Now that you are technically like my servants, I don't feel that there is any need to hide this function from you. Even if you try to use it against me, the parasites in your soul will eat you and bring all of your power anyways, so you cannot even try to play around any more jokes with me," said Frank, as he decided to share his System with the Gods, and use it to properly make them grow stronger.
Now that Frank's soul had ascended into divinity, he was able to easily share such power with these Gods, who feel amazed as they saw the holographic windows emerge in front of them.
"Through leveling up, you will slowly feel stronger. Use such power and forge it well into something useful for me. However, as you are now, you cannot possibly descend. So I will divide a part of my soul and leave it here, by using the Hunting Domain Creation Skill, monsters will emerge constantly, use them to level up and become more useful to me," said Frank, doing as he said, creating a perfect copy of himself and deciding to leave it here whenever he went back.
"Amazing… so you can even share such power with us?" asked Zudithe.
"This power… this is… a Trait, isn't it? Despite your power not being completely that of an Overseer, you possess one of their core abilities, a Trait. I suppose our demise by your hands should have been expected…" said Judith.
"I am not all-powerful. I still lack a lot of power and have a lot of room to grow stronger. I will travel through Terra and join the Heroes you selected, I will help them get a bit stronger as well, any force we can gather will be useful… I will also gather the artifacts to revive my parents meanwhile. The Abyssal Horrors will begin appearing more and more, so I might as well deal with them and devour them to grow stronger… As I do all of that, you better train hard to achieve at least a small amount of new strength," said Frank.
"Well, alright then! I will do my best, Frank! I trust your judgment! You are, deep down, a good person… If you want to take things by your hands, then it means that you have a plan," said Thineas.
"More or less. However, it requires the other Gods, so I will try to convince each one of them too. That's why I want to meet the Heroes, I can use their connections with those Gods and then travel directly into their Divine Realms to speak," said Frank.
"Oh, so those were your plans…" said Abraddon.
"It is certainly… interesting," said Zudithe.
"Hopefully you forgive their lives…" said Judith.
"Hm, I believe that some might be easier to convince, but… Some of them might be incredibly stubborn," sighed Thineas.
"Nonetheless, let us contact them about you," said Zudithe.
"We could try to convince them about this, or at least to introduce them to the Watchers which some of them had not noticed yet…" said Judith.
"Very well. Just a reminder, if you try to turn them against me, the parasite will also act and see that as treason, so don't come crying when you get your souls eaten," said Frank.
"Of course we wouldn't do such a thing…" said Zudithe.
"We are aware of how it works…" said Judith.
"You better don't do "such a thing" then…" said Frank with a domineering gaze.
"Frank, what will you do now?" asked Axitl.
"I already said what I will do, Axitl. You also got the System. Although you are very strong, you need to polish such strength, make good use of Skills," said Frank, petting Axitl's head.
"Okay then… I will do my best to save this world as well. I have been protecting it this whole time as well, the dungeons too were to make the Demon King awaken even slowly… I see that entity as something like my sibling… I am glad that you don't want to destroy it," said Axitl.
"Don't worry about it, I will make sure to convince it by force," said Frank.
"By force… well, there isn't another choice, I suppose," said Axitl.
The Gods glanced at the interaction from the sides, with calm smiles.
"I guess Axitl finally found… someone she could care for, and that also cares about her back…" said Thineas.
"I wish… we could have been in such a place…" sighed Abraddon.
