Chapter 224: If You Want Me To Save The World, It Will First Become Mine
-----
Frank\'s bold statement made the Gods in awe!
What did he even mean by… that?!
How could he dare say such a thing to the Gods that created this very world?
He was but a mere outsider, a person that came here by chance!
He was but a doubtful young man, lost in what to do!
He did not even know what he was… he did not have a purpose yet!
But now…
He was confident, firm, and filled with resolve.
He was even domineering… and strong.
Abraddon took a direct hit, a single hit with all of Frank\'s might, throwing him into the ground and leaving him greatly injured.
The God of Beast was not even close to his prime anymore, he had been weakened a lot when he created Terra with the other gods, and when he was damaged in that fight and had been bleeding for thousand of years… all of his power was eventually drained away.
Whatever was left of him was but a husk of his former self… and what he could do was almost nothing at all, other than just giving divine protections.
And due to the miasma of Terra, if he were to descend, his weakened divine soul would be corrupted by this miasma and he would probably die or fall unconscious for an eternity.
Using his own miasma and chaos within his soul, Frank had an easy time suppressing God with a single hit, while even taking a large bite on his soul through Gluttony.
Zudithe and Judith glanced at Frank with… a feeling they had not to feel for a while.
It was something deep within their souls…
Even as the Gods of Space and Time, Frank was clearly someone they should not mess with, he was clearly someone they should not try to control at all…
Because he could easily do the same to them with a bit more effort, and bite their souls off.
Fear…
The Gods felt fear of Frank!
The one they had thought they could manipulate for their own goals!
He was now inflicting true fear into their very souls!
And Frank, with a single statement, made clear of his intentions.
He was not messing around anymore, he was about to get things done!
"If you want me to save your world, it will first become mine…"
Such words made the Gods enter in complete awe.
They instinctively began to quiver…
"Y-You… How can you… say that?" asked Zudithe.
"Calm down, Frank. There is… other ways of doing this, you don\'t have to be so aggressive," said Judith.
"And what way? Brainwashing Axitl to become your puppet?" asked Frank.
"What? Frank… did they really…?" asked Axitl in surprise, glancing at the Gods.
"Yes. In the small glimpses of the futures I saw, there was one where these two, the ones in front of you, used an artifact named Nexus Cube to brainwash you, Axitl. They used you to fight the aliens hovering up in the sky, the real enemy," said Frank.
Frank… even knew about the Watchers!
How was it possible that he could know so much?!
"My Divine Sense Skill is the one that let me detect them if you two are curious. Although I barely saw anything of them through those glimpses of possible futures," said Frank.
By using Divine Sense, Frank was capable of detecting anything!
And as long as he could concentrate his mind and soul into it, the range could keep expanding towards a certain direction.
Although it could not cover completely everything, he could concentrate the power, like a ray of detection, so he simply threw it high into the sky and detected the aliens that name themselves Watchers, who were the culprits behind making the Demon King awaken ahead of time.
"There is no point in lying anymore…" said Zudithe.
"We indeed intended that… Axitl. But… do not get mad, please. We were trying to create safety measures for you… Your power is too much, and your mind is unstable, it was the beast we could do if something wrong were to happen…" said Judith.
"Y-You are monsters! How can you… say that… Are not I like your daughter?! Why don\'t you try to be nicer to me, to talk with me?! Instead, you were planning to fucking brainwash me if I got angry or something?!" asked Axitl.
"It was what we needed to do," said Zudithe.
"…We would have liked things to be better, but we found ourselves without a chance to improve our relationship. We had to be realistic. Axitl, you must understand," said Judith.
However, the moment Axitl hear the Gods speak, she immediately began to shapeshift, turning into an armored giantess with several eyes around her entire body, giant maws, enormous claws, tentacles, and horns! She looked like an abyssal horror herself!
"GIVE A REASON WHY I SHOULDN\'T FUCKING DECIMATE YOU RIGHT NOW!" roared Axitl.
"You can\'t… kill us. The world will end if you do," said Zudithe.
"We maintain time and space, don\'t go ahead of yourself, if we disappear, there will no one supporting such important aspects," said Judith.
"I DON\'T GIVE A FUCK ANYMORE!" roared Axitl, as she opened her maws!
However, a gentle hand touched her grotesque body.
"Calm down. There is no point in killing them," sighed Frank, using Chaos Concealment to slowly calm her nerves by suppressing her chaotic thoughts.
"Ah… Frank… Sniff…"
Axitl suddenly began to shapeshift back to her usual form, as she fell over the ground and began to cry, sorrowful tears crossing through her eyes.
"Sniff… You reject me, treat me like a monster, and even plan to do such a thing to me… Why did you even created me if you reject me so much?! Why the fuck did you even brought me to life?! What am I even here for?! What is even the point of my existence if my own parents do not give a fuck about me?! Who are the real monsters here?! Sniff… You idiots… I hate you… I hate all of you! Sniff…"
Axitl began to cry like a little girl, lacking love and compassion, and innocent…
Frank could not help but be reminded of how he used to be.
Of how he felt when his father went away without even telling him anything… of how his mother treated him as if she did not even want him on her life anymore…
He knew very well how Axitl felt.
"You are such a crybaby, get up already…" sighed Frank, patting her head and caressing her shoulders.
"Frank…" muttered Axitl while containing her tears.
"Why do you care so much about these bunch of idiots? You are strong, you can do whatever you want. Do not try to seek their acceptance, accept yourself instead, and look forward to a brighter future. There is way more than being caged in this world… Way more… You can come with me as long as you prove yourself as someone I can rely on," said Frank.
"R-Really?" asked Axitl, as she saw Frank as not the monster that the Gods around her saw of him now… but as someone gentle that actually understood how she felt… quite too much, in fact.
She began to wonder if his life was just as terrible as hers…
Perhaps, they were not so different…
Axitl grabbed Frank\'s hand, as she stood up and cleaned her tears.
"You calmed her… so fast…" said Zudithe in shock.
"He\'s really a demon…" said Judith.
"Hm? Repeat what you just said right now," said Frank, his eyes gleaming with crimson red light towards Judith, the Goddess of Time.
"You are a demon… Outsider, we don\'t require the help of a monster that will try to take over our world, go away," said Judith boldly!
Frank smiled back, with a cynical grin.
"Alright then, you just saw what I did to your little brother there, you want a beating too? I don\'t care if you are a woman," said Frank.
"Try it," said Judith.
"Judith… what are you?" muttered Zudithe.
"Let us throw him off this world! If we seal the entrance, he will not be able to get inside any longer, we do not need the help of a hypocrite and selfish being that only thinks of itself! We had been working very hard to maintain this world!" said Judith.
"You… It is true but… He could still…" said Zudithe.
"Enough, help me, Zudithe!" said Judith.
"…If it is what we need to do, okay," sighed Zudithe.
Frank was now being confronted by the Goddess of Time and the God of Space!
Meanwhile, Thineas glanced from the sides, in shock about this turn of events!
"Do you think my overconfidence is baseless? I know what your two little brains are thinking about… I can see right through your incompetent minds," sighed Frank.
"You are no longer the same as before! You were brainwashed by your Overseer father!" said Judith.
"We don\'t need the help of someone like you, Frank, you\'ll force us to act!" said Zudithe.
Frank was not half angered when he was called a demon or whatever.
But when Judith dared to say that his father brainwashed him… was when he got pissed off.
Brainwashing?
His father actually helped him understand everything better… he did not brainwash Frank.
In fact, it was the complete opposite, he helped him think independently, to think by himself!
To do as he pleased, as he deserved to do so!
"Frank… I will help you too! I will beat some sense in them!" said Axitl.
"I appreciate the help," said Frank, as he glanced at the two Gods, his eyes glowing with crimson red.
"Then, what are you waiting for? Come at me," said Frank, the two Gods feeling provoked and angered!
Insolent!
Defiant!
Selfish!
Frank was finally… showing his true colors!
And so did the Gods!
"Don\'t worry, I said I wouldn\'t kill you, didn\'t I?" he said.
