Chapter 123: Pain, Sadness, and Regret

-----

Flash!

Frank had just managed to slip away from Wasp, but at the cost of his spine breaking out and his soul being almost completely consumed, only but a tiny piece of soul was left, of the size of his fist, if not smaller.

He suddenly appeared over the bed he was sleeping in Gwendolyn\'s hose, causing a commotion as he screamed in agony due to the intense pain of his spine nerves, which were still somewhat \'alive\' due to him being an undead.

His spine was broken but the nerves kept sending him signals of pain, making his head and brain overload with agony.

He gnashed his teeth as Hades somehow managed to get a hold of Frank, conjuring Gift of Death over his entire body.

His screams were heard in the entire house of course, as Cathyl, Hilvera, and Asterion who were near him darted out of the bed in horror, glancing at Frank who had appeared out of nowhere with a tremendously horrifying wound.

"FRANK!" cried Hilvera, rushing towards him as Cathyl tried to stop her, she simply didn\'t know what was going on, and even though that something like a monster might have sneaked inside of the house and was attacking the agonizing Frank.

"Frank-nii-sama!" cried Asterion, as he leaped towards Frank, grabbing his trembling hands as he ripped off the shirt he was wearing to see the wound more.

"Oh my god…!" cried Hilvera, she was beginning to tear down as she saw Frank\'s agonizing appearance.

Quickly after, Gwendolyn and Annabelle came rushing from the nearby room, as both of them screamed at the same time the boy\'s name.

"What\'s going on!? FRANK-KUN!!!" cried Annabelle, as she fell to the ground and began to cry desperately, seeing him in such a condition was incredibly impacting the children\'s minds.

The one they thought was unparalleled had suddenly appeared with terrible wounds that should have already killed him.

"What… Frank! Are you… alive?!" asked Gwendolyn, as Frank could not muster any other words than terrible and monstrous groans of pain.

The horrified group glanced as Frank\'s cracked spine nerves began to slowly regrow, connecting as the spine moved incredibly slowly back inside of his torso.

"Please… don\'t… do… anything…" murmured Frank with a very low voice, as he bears down the pain while Gwendolyn covered the eyes of the children and Cathyl glanced with horror at what was being unfolded in front of her.

It was all too shocking, all too sudden.

But Frank didn\'t have any option, he was not able to teleport in whatever place he wanted when he moved to another world, he would simply appear in the last spot that he was before teleporting back to Earth.

"Hang in there, brat!" said Hades, as the wounds finally began to close, Frank\'s spine finally went back to its place after Hades\' adjustments by using Shadow Whip to move the bone around.

After a few more minutes, the arduous task was gone, as Frank was left exhausted.

"Frank…!" cried Gwendolyn, as she tried to touch his back, only to hear Frank groan in pain.

"S-Sorry…"

"It\'s… it\'s complicated… I can explain… everything in time… For now… I… Ungh…"

Although Frank\'s spine was back, for some strange reason, his heart was still not regenerating.

"Why… my heart is not…" he muttered, grasping his chest, his entire body was now recovered, but the heart was still lacking.

"I don\'t know… But perhaps, by destroying your own heart was an Undead Progenitor you… cursed yourself," said Hades.

"Cursed… myself?!" asked Frank through telepathy.

"The heart is a mystical organ within a human\'s body, it is the area with the most veins of Mana that connect with the soul, the heart uses these veins to redirect mana all cross the rest of your body… Destroying your heart with the power of the Undead Progenitor might have caused you to damage your soul through the corrupted mana with death attribute, cursing yourself unwillingly," said Hades.

"That\'s… Sigh… So I am stuck as an Undead now?" asked Frank.

"For as long as you… get a new heart or something… If you go back to be a human, without a heart you will most likely die instantly," said Hades.

"No, I shouldn\'t be worrying about me…!" said Frank, as he glanced at Gwendolyn and the rest.

"…Sorry, but I have to go…! Please, do not tell anyone about… this. I will come back in a few hours… I will explain everything then," said Frank as he quickly left the house through the window…

The group was left completely confused and in disbelief…

Frank, the boy they thought to know so well seemed to be now filled with mysteries after mysteries.

Bearing the exhaustion of his soul which had been consumed by Wrath by a large amount, Frank rushed back to his Dungeon, where a concerned Orb greeted him.

"M-Master! What is happening?! I heard a lot of things through our connection… But I-I wasn\'t able to speak due to fear.." said Orb.

"Don\'t worry… about that… Orb… Please, grant me some of the Divine Power you have stored," said Frank, kneeling as he gasped for air, his entire body seemed to ache terribly, and his soul was incredibly tired and pained.

"D-Divine Power?" asked Orb.

"I remember feeling that my soul became strong when I absorbed it… so, please… I need… to heal my soul…" cried Frank.

"A-Ah! Yes!" said Orb, trembling as she hovered over Frank, releasing a small stream of Divine Power over him, which resembled white and ethereal energy.

Frank was showed by it, as his struggling and pained soul slowly began to absorb the Divine Power, feeling more at ease.

However, the exhaustion remained, and Frank passed out right there.

"O-Oh no! M-Master!" cried Orb, hovering over him.

Hades glanced at Orb but feel powerless, after all, he was not able to speak with anyone, Frank was the only person that could see him.

"Shit…! He passed out again…! But his sister is right inside of his shadow… I do not know what might happen to her if she is exposed to another World\'s Origin Core, especially because, unlike the kids that Frank talked about, she has not acquired the System nor shared his powers… She might immediately die the moment she gets expelled out of his shadow… But what if she is hungry or thirsty?! …Shit! I just can wait until the brat wakes up… Even if I take over his body forcefully, I cannot use his System and other abilities, so I can\'t really do anything to help his sister…" said Hades.

"Master…" cried Orb, as she used her Telekinesis to grab Frank and slowly move him to her chamber.

There, she generated a beautiful royal bed, where she let Frank rest.

Meanwhile, as Orb took care of Frank, Axitl, the Goddess of Chaos, quickly noticed that the boy who had stolen her dungeon once more came to Terra, running back to the dungeon he stole.

"He\'s back! Aztraloth, let\'s get him!" said Axitl.

"Wait, my lady didn\'t you said you wanted to first talk with Abraddon-sama?! Perhaps if we ask him, he will give back your Dungeon!" said Aztraloth, the crimson-eyed giant black octopus that was Axitl\'s pet and also her closest friend and family.

"Hmph… Okay then…" sighed Axitl, as she contacted Abraddon once more.

Abraddon, the God of Beasts and Nature who was resting on his Divine Realm was once more surprised by Axitl.

"Hey old man, he\'s back, call him over!" she said.

"W-What? He\'s… sleeping! Leave him be, Axitl," said Abraddon.

"Why? Call him over! You have blessed him, right? You can call his consciousness while he sleeps," said Axitl.

"I-I… But… Axitl. Promise me something!" said Abraddon.

"Hm? What? You old man…!" said Axitl.

"For old times\' sake… Please, do not harm him… I will convince him to give you what you want, but please, don\'t harm him…" said Abraddon.

"…This… beast…" muttered Axitl, her veins were already popping out of her forehead in anger.

"A-Axitl-sama, please reconsider, it wouldn\'t be a good idea to get on bad terms with Abraddon-sama… As fellow Gods that govern this world, please, reconsider it…" said Aztraloth.

Axitl glanced at Aztraloth big, beady crimson eyes, as she could not resist his request.

"Okaaay… Alright, but just because you asked… But do not get too cocky though, you\'re asking way too much lately!" said Axitl.

"S-Sorry…" said Aztraloth.

"Very well… I shall bring him here…" said Abraddon.

As Abraddon focused his power to call over Frank\'s soul as he would often do, Frank swam through an ocean of darkness.

"Mother… father… sister… I want to wake up and help you as much as I can… but… I am so exhausted…" muttered Frank, as he suddenly felt a strange presence grabbing him and moving him away.

Flash!

"Ungh…!"

Frank opened his eyes, as he glared around his surroundings, vast greenery greeted him, a beautiful blue sky, a shiny yellow sun, and the beauty of a wild jungle.

The chirping of the birds and the other sounds that small animals would do atop the trees resonated within the jungle as well.

"Abraddon\'s Divine Realm?" he said.

Abraddon quickly greeted him, as Frank seemed confused.

"Ah… Abraddon, I wasn\'t able to bring anything… A lot of things happened on Earth and me…"

"No, that\'s not it, Frank… There is someone… that wants to speak with you…" said Abraddon, opening a strange window through magic, as the face of Axitl greeted Frank\'s eyes."

"Youuuu! Why did you steal my Dungeon?! Give it back! Now!" said Axitl.

"…What?"
