Chapter 381: Gaia’s Thoughts And Actions
—–
The Will of the planet earth, Gaia, finally felt the presence of Frank coming back…
However, unlike the other times where he went away for some time and came back quickly after, he took a long time.
And in this long time… He grew so strong he was almost unrecognizable.
“Is this… really Frank? No… He really is Frank. I’ve monitored part of his progress, but my connection to him from another world is limited… Now that he’s back, I can use the Source that fuels his Trait to see more in detail his power… And it is indeed… amazing,” sighed Gaia.
Frank was gone for almost an entire year from Earth since his fight against the malicious Wasp, and since then, he didn’t simply learn more magic and trained martial arts… No, he unlocked way more power than that.
Frank had not merely trained in magic and physical fighting, he abused his powers completely and awakened new ones as he underwent many challenges within Terra. He even befriended a dragon that could have perfectly killed him if it could, and it absorbed his Dragon Orb, he even conquered a dungeon, cultivated incredibly quickly by consuming mana cores, and abused the power of his Trait, the System, to enhance his strength and those at his side.
He had developed many new skills, and gained new ones through a variety of means… While also training to become stronger, he fought against a great challenge and ended falling unconscious, where he dreamed with his father, and learned the truth about many things, while also training his soul and mind with him, and ultimately unlocking a part of his original power, the immense power of an Overseer resting within him.
And after training some more and defeating the major threat of the world of Terra and fusing with its Origin Core… he had become incredibly strong, his power alone was comparable to a Demigod if not higher if he were to use all of his capabilities at 100%!
“Amazing… Amazing… Amazing! Frank has grown so much in this little time! Is this why I am recovering so quickly now? His mere presence brings forth a giant amount of essence, enough to nourish my core… Now that he has fused with the core of another world, all of that power is slowly being shared with me…” thought Gaia, feeling relieved.
In the end, the doubtful and somewhat naïve boy had come back as a fully grown man at this point and was halfway through fulfilling his major task of healing the planet earth’s core, which was shattering over the accumulation of pressuring forces that were slowly damaging it.
But…
“However, there are still many things left to do… I do wonder if he would be willing to cleanse a bit my surface? There are so many enormous domains that are so old they had turned into dungeons, which constantly drain my energy and produce monsters endlessly, and there are also all these Demon Gods formed by human’s worship, prayers, or even their fears… The organizations that dominate the world, the demigods… Perhaps this world might end up being more complex than even Terra… Especially due to the Pseudo Realms within this world that were formed by these entities…” sighed Gaia.
Will Frank with all of his new power be able to fight against all of this?
Well, for now, he would concentrate in Japan, most likely, specifically in Tokyo. This place was the area with the most organizations in Japan after all.
He had to deal with many things as well, and his priority was not about saving this planet anyways, he was asked to regenerate the core, not to fight the entire world…
However, his priorities were reviving his parents and then dealing with what he could at the moment, not to go around the world killing people from left and right because they were making a “burden” to the planet’s core.
“He will certainly not do as I tell him though… He had become strong enough to not depend on anyone but himself. It will be hard to ask him something without offering some reward,” thought Gaia.
Indeed, Frank had grown strong enough that he didn’t depend on anyone, nor he even wanted to depend on anyone anyways. He wanted to be by himself and do as he pleased. It was his life now.
However, his primary goals were reviving his parents, and the… growing as strong as he could. So maybe he might be inclined at helping Gaia if the rewards are good enough.
She still doesn’t know what his bottom line is, so it is better to not risk asking him anything for the moment…
“But for now… I don’t want to annoy him, let the boy be for some time… He might even end up going to another world in the meantime,” thought Gaia.
However… there was something else, a drive Gaia had not forgotten.
“But will he easily forget about the one that killed his parents? Certainly not… He might come back to them soon enough… And if he does, he will trigger too many events and new enemies. After all, those two… Hmm… For now, I shall leave an oracle to the Great Ancestor of Tokyo’s Monk Clan, the granddaughter of Amaterasu..”
“She has been working diligently to maintain her territory… But it seems that the shadows of her past are coming back to her… What will she do now? Maybe she could use Frank’s help at the end, huh?” wondered Gaia, as she began to slowly create an oracle, sending it to the Demigoddess-level being, the Great Ancestor of Tokyo’s Monk Clan, half-human and half-goddess, a rather unique existence.
Within the large tower made by Amaterasu, positioned within the large Divine Domain of the Monk Clan, hiding from the common folk, a beautiful woman with a bright aura of light and sunlight opened her eyes.
“Ah… He’s… back! At long last…” she sighed in relief.
“I need to tell Matsuo, and the Elders as well… As quickly as possible!” she thought.
