Chapter 222: Apologize

-----

Frank emerged on an ethereal form inside of Axitl's Divine Realm, as he detected that she had tried to invite him there, he decided to go there directly and ask her what she wanted.

Honestly, Frank was rather tired of Gods.

He knew how much they fucked up with everything in Terra, and he could not help but feel slightly angered at their lack of responsibility.

Even more, as he had become a Hero of Abraddon, he was now forced to save this world.

Well, in this world is where those he loved resided, so he was fine by saving it, but even then, he could not help but want to get out this feeling of being used as part of their schemes.

Axitl was one of them, who had played around with Frank, boosting the dungeon with Divine Energy to make terrifyingly strong monsters emerge.

And then the Dungeon Core itself which almost killed him…

Ironically, it was also thanks to her that he survived, as Axitl showered him with chaos divine energy so Frank could fight back against that Dungeon Core… but also, due to that, everything was ruined, and the entire dungeon fell apart.

Frank became unconscious after that due to the immense damage on his soul, and he had the opportunity to meet the Will of his father and learn the truth about his origins, unlocking a part of his true powers.

Although all such events were triggered due to Axitl, he still was angered at her.

And he showed it clearly in his calm anger… a presence that made the two in front of him feel a bit worried.

Even Axitl who was the strongest goddess in Terra felt some inner demon within Frank who he always kept sealed due to his gentleness… but with Axitl, he was getting it out.

He knew how strong she was, so he had to show her that he was also strong.

Perhaps in a fight, Frank would not be able to win against her, but he knew that she did not have such strong willpower, and decided to use his own presence to show her that he was not backing down, nor fearing her because she was the Goddess of Chaos or whatever.

Frank was literally done with this shit.

"(S-So strong… he's… really Frank?! He feels like a God himself! No… even greater than that? But how? Ahhh… I have to calm down… I need to apologize to him because I really do feel bad for what I did…)" thought Axitl, as she slowly stood up.

"So? What are you thinking? I really do deserve an apology on your part, Axitl, are you going to apologize or not?" asked Frank.

"Y-You! Don't be so insolent with Axitl-sama!" said Aztraloth.

"Down," said Frank, waving his hand downwards while completely ignoring Aztraloth's words, using his Heavy Evil Eye Skill but evolved and combined with his very soul, generating an enormous pressure and gravity pull, making Aztraloth's whole body hit the floor!

BOOM!

"Nggh?! What is this… power?!" asked Aztraloth, as he glanced back at Frank, his eyes gleaming with eerie crimson red light…

"Aztraloth! Frank, don't get so mad, let him go!" asked Axitl, for some reason she felt submissive before the mighty aura that Frank exuded as if deep down he was a being greater than even her.

"Don't get your pet involved in this conversation. Now, apologize," said Frank.

"A-Ah! Okay, okay! Sorry… I am really sorry! I really… I… I am a stupid idiot! I know, I know I am! It is just… I wanted to… give you challenges so you could grow stronger and… everything went so bad… I… I am sorry… Sniff… I know I made you suffer… I just… I wanted a friend… Sniff…"

Axitl fell to the ground as she began to cry pathetically, asking for Frank's forgiveness.

"Crying doesn't work with me anymore," said Frank.

"W-What…? Sniff…" cried Axitl, as she felt the anger of Frank simply growing! As if his very soul was being burned by red flames!

"You ruined everything… I was growing stronger at my own pace. You brought complete chaos to everything… You destroyed the dungeon, a resource for the people to acquire food and items… You almost killed me several times… Do you think that by asking about my forgiveness, it is enough for me to say "oh! alright then, don't worry!"…?! Axitl. I am not the same as before. I am sure that you already realized this, right?" asked Frank.

"A-Ah… Yes… T-Then what…? What do you want me to do?" asked Axitl.

"Let me get any Dungeon I want." Said Frank.

"What?" asked Axitl.

"I am not done yet. Give me a piece of your soul too." Said Frank.

"Eh?!" asked Axitl.

"And lastly, I want you and the Gods to get along already, I am tired of your stupid family drama. If the world is truly in danger, all of you need to stop being so stupid and get your shit together," said Frank.

"A-Ah… T-That's…" muttered Axitl.

"Insolent! Stop asking my lady about such things! Don't you know what she had gone through this whole time?! Asking her such things is…!" groaned Aztraloth, as he slowly began to use his powers, quickly fighting back against Frank's pressure and gravity pull!

"No, wait, Aztraloth!" said Axitl, her eyes suddenly felt filled with resolve…

"My… lady?" asked Aztraloth.

"Frank… is right. I have been just… an immature idiot this whole time… I really do need to… talk to them and just as he said… to get our shit together…" she sighed.

"I am glad you understand already…" sighed Frank.

Axitl quickly stood up as she put her hands inside of her chest, taking a large piece out of her "body".

Axitl's soul was so strong due to the divine power she possessed in enormous quantities that taking a piece of her soul was not much to her, which immediately began to regenerate, without her losing much power at all…

"Here… I cut off a large piece of my soul. Do you have some power to assimilate my chaos?" asked Axitl.

"How do you think I survived all of that? I had to eat all the chaos you feed me, which ended creating this guy inside of my soul," said Frank, as his soul suddenly cracked as enormous black tentacles emerged from them, grabbing the soul piece, and devouring it!

Axitl and Aztraloth felt completely paralyzed when they saw that creature emerge!

The tentacles quickly went back inside of Frank's soul, as if his soul were a mere shell of this creature…

"T-That… what was that?" asked Axitl.

"My father called it an Eldritch One, or Ancient One. Although the Overseers have leaders named Ancient Ones, so it might create some confusion…" sighed Frank.

"Overseers? What?" asked Axitl.

"I see that you don't even know about them, right? The Gods really had taught you nothing, aren't they? Such a strong goddess and they leave her be… A bunch of idiots" sighed Frank.

Axitl felt her heart race as she saw Frank talk so ill of her parents, his rudeness gave away a feeling of a ruthless man that did not obey anyone anymore… someone free to do whatever he pleased.

She wanted to be at the side of such a person… to feel guided by his way of seeing life, the one she always wanted to have.

"You are not completely forgiven yet… But you are now on better terms with me, at the very least," said Frank, dissipating his aura of pressure and calming himself down.

"T-Thanks…" said Axitl while blushing a bit.

"Now what should we do…?" asked Aztraloth, feeling a bit relieved that Frank had calmed his anger.

"What should we do? We are going to meet Abraddon and Thineas. I am sure that Judith and Zudithe will join in too as they are always spying around us. In fact, they are seeing us from afar," said Frank.

"W-What? They spy on me?!" asked Axitl.

"Yes, let me do this," said Frank, as he released a wave of starlight energy and broke through some invisible barrier around Axitl, a force that quickly dissipated, which Axitl had never noticed!

"That's… The Divinity of…" muttered Axitl.

"Yes, Time and Space, I also felt it…" said Frank.

"I can't… believe that those idiots have been spying on me!!!" roared Axitl in anger.

"Enough, you will have the opportunity to tell them a few truths. Now, grab me tightly," said Frank expressionlessly.

"G-Grab you?" asked Axitl while blushing even more.

"Do it," said Frank, his left eye glowing with crimson light, as Axitl grabbed Frank's waist with her hands as she blushed intensively.

"O-Okay, I am ready…" she said.

"Let's go then," said Frank.

"W-Wait! What about me?!" asked Aztraloth, as Frank and Axitl suddenly disappeared.

Judith and Zudithe, the Gods of Space and Time suddenly felt as Frank entered Axitl's Divine Realm somehow, destroyed their "camera" Runes, and then flew away a second after…

They were in shock…

"J-Just what happened?!" asked Zudithe.

"I don't know… Frank felt… different… He had… somehow changed from the boy of before… It is as if he had lived several years somewhere…" said Judith.

"That coma he underwent… Perhaps he was… really inside of his own Inner Realm training and improving?" asked Zudithe.

"Maybe… he won't' be as willing as we imagined…" sighed Judith.

Flash.

Frank and Axitl emerged inside of Abraddon and Thineas Divine Realm, as he felt Axitl's Divinity beginning to corrupt the Divine Realm.

"Chaos Concealment," said Frank, creating a sealing spell in the get-go and sealing the residual contaminated Miasma produced by Axitl's existence in an instant!

"E-Eh? How did you do that?" asked Axitl in surprise.

Abraddon and Thineas quickly noticed that someone entered their Divine Realm without their permission, quickly teleporting towards them, as they meet Frank again… and someone they did not expect.

"Frank! …And Axitl?" asked Abraddon.

"You two… how did you get in here?" asked Thineas.

"It is good to meet both of you again. But I am not here to play games with you anymore," said Frank.
