Chapter 362: Vritra

-----

After Vritra was born, there was a big feast, where everyone celebrated the birth of the boy way too much… But well, everyone was tired of just grinding, so it was normal that they wanted a big feast to change the pace a bit.

As everything was getting ready, Frank decided to change Jobs.

It has been a while since he changed Jobs, since the last fight in fact… Around three weeks inside his Divine Realm. Now that he had grown so strong even the super amount of EXP he could get still took a long time to level him up. Although some would say that still has such progress at this stage was pretty good.

Oh, maybe if he were to go outside he would gain EXP at the fastest pace due to the time difference… But he didn't want to leave the comfort of his divine realm while he cultivated divine energy and enhanced his body.

And it wasn't as if he had not increased his power outside of leveling up. Leveling up offered a bonus amount of stats, but he was also increasing his own stats naturally through Divine Energy Cultivation. He cultivated his physical body to accept more and more divine energy, enhancing the veins inside to accept divine energy and change from mana veins to divine energy veins, while his soul was evolving to even greater stages of power, overflowing with divine energy too.

He also felt that the more he cultivated both of these things, the more of his sealed power was unsealed, bit by bit… this was perhaps where his bonus strength from leveling came from, or why his stats were increasing so fast through cultivation! He had never considered it as much.

Indeed, Frank had concluded that perhaps the bonus power he acquired by leveling wasn't just power coming out of thin air, but it was the power of his sealed power!

But then, how did it worked for the others?

It was also simple, the power of an Overseer was so immensely vast that he was also sharing this unsealed power with everyone, helping them level up and more. It was also this reason why weakened Gods were able to recover so well after leveling up for a while, it seemed to be all connected now!

Or was it? Well, this was a mere theory, although it was clear that the System was part of his Infinite Origin Core Trait, and according to his father, Traits were powerful abilities that defied the logic of the universe and even violated any laws, doing law-defying things without any problem.

So perhaps things such as "acquiring power from nothing" could be part of his Trait… but then again, it was all Frank's theories and the fabrications and conjectures of his mind, he had not received any solid answer to these questions, and as he had no one to clarify this for him, he merely left such things aside and concentrated in what he could do.

Now that he thought about them, Jobs were certainly something unique and interesting, it was also related to leveling, as each time he changed Jobs and leveled them up, more power would be unlocked in the form of Skills and Titles… And even then, each Job also left some kind of passive effect on him.

It was also connected to leveling, without changing Jobs, he wasn't able to level up. There was a connection, perhaps changing Jobs allowed Frank to break some kind of progression wall, or something stopping him from developing further. But that was it? Certainly, there was something more, something deeper and-

"Do you like a hot dog?"

"Ah…"

Suddenly, Frank was startled from his intense thinking as Terra came near him, glaring at him with her cute different-colored eyes, she offered Frank a hot dog, it even came with ketchup on top.

Frank glanced at the ingredients, being taken away from his deep thoughts. He recalled, however, that wieners were recently bought just around a week and a half ago… Now that he had many App Points, he became more freer into spending them and had bought all sorts of food from his world from the App Shop, which actually sold it all.

Now his city had been introduced to all sorts of new food types, including hotdogs with ketchup, mustard, and even mayonnaise…

Frank smiled gently at Terra, the avatar of this world's Origin Core, who had been leveling up in Orb's Dungeon this whole time rather diligently, she had a whole set of new equipment and liked to go around with her giant sword, all of it from drops inside the dungeon.

"Sure thing, thanks, Terra," he said, petting Terra's head as he grabbed the hot dog, which smelled quite nice and began to eat it with Terra sitting over his lap.

"What were you thinking?" asked Terra.

"I was wondering things such as the origin of my powers… And well, I was wondering how I could get power out of nowhere by leveling up, and also about Job changes… I had concluded that it might be the Overseer power accumulated and sealed inside of my Origin Core, which is slowly being unsealed… But well, it's just a theory," said Frank, biting the hotdog and eating a bit more.

"I see… It could certainly be that… I don't know much, but whenever I leveled up, I did felt like part of the energy of the monsters I killed was fused into me. So maybe it is not all your own power, but this System allows us to absorb the energy of the living or unliving beings we kill," said Terra.

"I guess you might be right there. It could probably be such a reason… I had not considered it. I was really… lost in thoughts. But… yeah, it's not really the unsealed power but what we can steal from what we kill…" said Frank.

"But perhaps if it is for you, you might still be unsealing your power slowly. After all, you have the fastest progress here," said Terra.

"True… Well, time to change Jobs for now," said Frank.
