Chapter 701: Explanations
—–
Frank explained to Hades, Nezhit, and Zero about what he had done, and what had happened just now, alongside the reason behind the entire plantpocalypse that had just happened, and about the Fragment of Power, as he called them, which he had absorbed.
"To think that my lord's own power would one day become our foe… This is never what I expected that could ever happen…" Said Nezhit. "Although I believe that you handled it pretty well, and you've grown quite stronger indeed…"
"I believe the same, perhaps my lord should rest for now and decide what to do next later on, your rest should be prioritized." Said Zero. "…Nonetheless, I do wonder where your other fragments at could be."
"Hmm… Probably in Terra? Have you checked there?" Wondered Hades.
"I just did, there is no fragment there, apparently that one never got one, thankfully… Earth doesn't have one either, which is relief. However, Gaia… it has one." Said Frank.
"Hm, I see… It seems that you're up for an adventure there, right?" Wondered Hades.
"After I finish my affairs with the tournament in Riverside City I will embark in a journey towards the fragment, I cannot let it be rampant in that world, it could cause a lot of damage. Look what just one did with Yggdrasil, if I let it do whatever it pleases, it might end up turning into a catastrophe, and I don't want to bring such amount of destruction into that place." Said Frank.
"Hm, you're insightful, Frank, I've always liked that of you." Said Hades. "Well, there's nothing to do for now other than pickup plant corpses, and I'll ask the Undead to do that for you, go rest." Hades insisted like the other two Undead for Frank to go rest and plan what to do next tomorrow. Frank accepted as he walked away in a hurry, reaching his home outside with the rest of his family and friends, he had completely forgotten about Miriam and Arthurious, but when he reached his monster pet nursery, he found the two children sleeping over the couches, apparently Vheslia used her magic to make them fall asleep.
"Phew, thanks for that, it would be really a pain to have to explain the kids about everything else… They know I got powers but if they know I can go beyond their own comprehension of things, it might end up affecting them too much." He sighed.
"I understand how you might feel." Said Vheslia. "Don't worry sweetie." Vheslia treated Frank very lovingly, as she petted his head, although she had to stand in her toes to do so because she was smaller than him.
"You're so cute when you try to stand on your toes." Giggled Frank.
"D-Don't call me cute, I am super old you know? Older than you!" Said Vheslia while pouting.
Frank petted the cute wife he had and then moved to the children, as he quickly decided to use some simple illusion magic and dream magic and made it seem as if everything they saw were just dreams.
"That'll do it, they should wake up in a few minutes…" Said Frank.
"Well, just what happened there, can you explain us now, Frank?" wondered Gwendolyn.
"Yweah! What happen?" asked the little Alexander all confused.
"Evil plants bad?" asked Ruby.
"Yeah, obviously!" said Vritra.
"Can we eat some?" wondered Selcis.
"No, children, they're not for eating, I think most of them taste awful, monster plants are not really tasty for the majority of the time." Sighed Frank.
"Just what happened there though? The plants just went crazy out of nowhere, it was very strange and weird." Said Cathyl.
"Yeah it is a long story…" Sighed Frank.
"But really though, were those plants angry at you, did you not feed them with water and sunlight?" Wondered Clishya.
"Frank probably doesn't take care of his plants, so they revolted against him… You should really try to be a better gardened. Didn't you used to be a farmer with Gwendolyn?" Asked Axitl.
"Yeah! What happened there? You just completely changed now, you're not even interested in plants, what would Ginseng and Viper think about you now. In fact they're right here! Look at them, they're disappointed!" Said Orb.
"Agh, stop messing around…" Sighed Frank. After he managed to stop them from messing around so much with him, Frank finally was given air to breathe and he was finally able to explain the girls what was going on right now.
Frank then proceeded to explain how things went, he explained from the beginning how the fragments were made and all of that, how one ended inside of Yggdrasil, and the cause of her berserk-like state, and all of that. Which amazed most of them, when they finally thought Frank couldn't surprise them anymore, he did it and it was so impactful it made everybody go a bit crazy.
"W-What?! Sorry but my father-in-law, well, the first one, is quite… Erm, quite bad at doing things, isn't he?" Sighed Orb. Referring to Frank's original father and not to Okita, his second father and adoptive father figure that Orb refers often as father-in-law.
"This just went beyond what I thought your father could had done… Geez, I almost hope I was born earlier to become his daughter so I could had been a half-overseer too! …Of course I am joking, I love my dad." Said Kamei.
"Interesting… But just how much power did you gain from that piece, Frank?" Asked Gwendolyn.
"I don't know yet, I have yet to completely assimilate it and see the power and results it can give to me, but it is something like a new Skill never seen before or something. I also suddenly felt my connection with spiritual energies strengthen for some reason, it might have spiritual elements to it." Said Frank.
"Interesting! Oh well, I am starving, so let's eat something for now, oh, the kids are waking up! Let's pretend we were doing nothing unusual!" Said Cathyl.
Everybody quickly got to do their "usual things" as Miriam and Arthurious woke up, finding everything normal…
