"Amazing… You accumulated a ton of Divine Power this whole time, Orb, good job," said Frank while petting Orb for a bit.
"But of course Master! I did everything I could to get as many points as I could," said Orb.
"Very well then," said Frank as he quickly willed it, beginning to Rank Up Orb with the current Divine Power she accumulated all this time.
She only needed 20.000 to upgrade to Rank 3, but then Frank received the message asking him if he wanted to also upgrade her to Rank 4 for 50.000 more Divine Points!
Rank 4 Dungeon meant that Rank 4 Monsters would begin to emerge!
Frank could not reject such an amazing offer!
He immediately began to upgrade her to Rank 4 then, as Orb felt all of her Divine Power accumulated this whole time finally refining itself around her body, her Dungeon Core started to change in quality, shining brightly and iridescently!
FLASH!
"Oh wow, Orb is upgrading!" said Annabelle.
"Amazing, she\'s getting even stronger again," said Hilvera.
"What Rank will she become now, Frank-kun?" asked Gwendolyn.
"Rank 4!" said Frank.
"RANK 4?!" cried everyone, imagining the powerful monsters that would begin to emerge!
"B-But wouldn\'t the town be in danger with such strong monsters so close of them?!" asked Gwendolyn.
"We have no choice, we need this dungeon as our hunting ground so we can grow stronger, these Mana Cores that will emerge will be useful for us. The people of the town can rest assured, we will clean this dungeon daily anyways. And if an Adventurer dies… Well, that is not my concern," said Frank.
"Frank…" said Kamei.
"No, I guess he\'s right, being too considerate of everyone in this situation is not really a good thing. We can tell people about it and even move the town far away, or Frank could also leave Golems as guards or something, there\'s no need to actually panic," said Gwendolyn.
"Oh, I guess that\'s right, let\'s trust his judgment," said Cathyl.
"Maybe we could put the people inside of Frank-kun\'s Inner Realm!" said Hilvera.
"But wouldn\'t that be like kidnapping?" asked Frank.
"Unless they are willing… After all, if more Abyssal Horrors begin to emerge, the people will never be truly safe unless they move to the capital, and not many of them have the resources to do that…" said Gwendolyn.
"Also, you are the Hero now, so you should be able to convince them," said Cathyl.
"Hmm… I think my father once said that it could be possible to gain power passively from a group of believers as Gods do… Maybe this could be a good opportunity to get myself such a group of people…" thought Frank rather carefreely, as Orb moaned a bit as she upgraded herself!
"Uwaawawawaahhh…! Masteeeeer, this is quite sudden and crazy!!!" she cried.
"Resist there, it\'s almost done!" said Frank.
FLASH!
Ding!
[Orb] has ranked up to Rank 3 Dungeon!]
[Orb] has ranked up to Rank 4 Dungeon!]
[All of [Orb] capabilities have increased exponentially!]
Suddenly, the light finally dissipated, as Orb\'s appearance had changed slightly…
Now, she was shining even brighter than before, and she had a golden glow, not white anymore, giving her a lustrous shining grace.
It was a beautiful orb indeed!
However, she was still an Orb.
Frank had hoped that one day she could take into a more humanoid form, but perhaps this was not yet the case.
However, for now, she had achieved a great level of power and new upgrades, which were more than enough.
"D-Damn, I am shining so brightly now…" said Orb.
"Congrats, Orb, let\'s check how much you have progressed," said Frank, checking Orb\'s status.

…
Amazing!
With this, Orb had upgraded all of her capabilities!
Now, she was able to produce even more monsters, and her overall size had expanded several times as well!
Her Special Abilities all hit max level and immediately awakened into stronger versions, making everything even better overall.
And as if that were not enough, there was a new Dungeon Trap named [Magic Rune Trap], which could be edited by Frank to give several spell effects, making of Traps an incredibly varied thing now!
Although he was not really planning on using Traps on people that got inside the Dungeon, he began to think… why not with the monsters themselves?
If he can leave a bunch of Traps, monsters can be automatically killed and he can keep on producing more and more Mana Cores, can\'t he?
Wouldn\'t that be amazing?
Frank began to think about the possibilities as his mind began to be clouded with such thoughts, but for now, he decided to calm down.
Creating Traps, sadly, cost Divine Dungeon Points or App Points, so he could not simply make a thousand of them carefreely, and Frank wanted to save up his power if possible, so for now, he decided to leave it be.
After all, Rank 4 Monsters would also take some time to begin emerging, so there was still time before any of such creatures came to be.
"Good job, Orb." Said Frank.
"Now I can be of more use for Master! I think that tomorrow new monsters would begin to appear, using these new awakened Dungeon Abilities have hastened the process a lot!" said Orb.
"That\'s great, Orb. By the way, where\'s Aaronarra?" asked Frank.
"Oh, that old dragon… He\'s napping, come with me, I will guide you to him…" said Orb, as Frank and the rest of the party followed her around the corridors until they reached one of the largest rooms within the underground of the dungeon, where a gigantic comodo dragon-like reptile rested above a pile of ores… that he himself had gone to extract from the ground months ago to make a "suitable bed".
"Hey, wake up already, Frank is finally back! I cannot believe you have napped through everything! Dragons are really lazy! The embodiment of the Sin of Sloth, honestly," sighed Orb.
"Hmm? Agh, let me sleep- Eh? AH! FRANK! You are finally back, brat! Who would had known that you would be gone for months just after we meet for one single day?!" asked Aaronarra.
"Hm? Why is he calling you brat?! Only I can call you brat, brat!" said Hades, emerging at Frank\'s side like a skull knight, now everyone could see him, so he spoked everyone out!
"Uwah! What\'s that?!" asked Annabelle.
"Oh, this is Hades, I guess now that my soul evolved, he can become corporeal to an extent and be seen by everyone, he\'s the guy that taught me Necromancy… and killed me once too… Hm, that brings back memories… Now that you are in the flesh, maybe I should beat you a bit for that time!" said Frank.
"EH?! W-Wait, Frank, thought we were partners already, friends!" said Hades.
"Yeah but friends sometimes fight too!" laughed Frank with a sadistic smile, interrupting Aaronarra\'s words as he began to literally do as he said, and began to beat Hades, punching him, kicking him, throwing him around, and more…
"AGH! I am a God! STOP! UUAAAGGH!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
After five minutes of beatings, Frank sighed in relief.
"Man, that really hits the spot…" he sighed.
"Ungh… you… ungrateful brat…" groaned Hades, as he decided to go back into an ethereal form.
"Ahem, anyway, what were we talking about?" asked Frank.
"Frank, that was quite wild! But I like that, hahaha!" laughed Aaronarra.
"So? Are we meeting the Gods tonight? I want to actually speak with them a few things out of my mind," said Frank with a bit of resolve…
"Oh?! Sure thing brat! I thought you wouldn\'t ask me!" said Aaronarra.
"Was beating Hades really that necessary…?" asked Kamei.
"Yeah," said Frank.
"…Leave him be, Kamei, men are like this sometimes," said Gwendolyn, although she could not help but feel her heart racing as she saw Frank in action.
Frank seemed to have plans for tonight and wanted to speak with the Gods after finally waking up.
"But how are we even going to meet them?" asked Aaronarra.
"Leave that to me… I will come here in a few hours," said Frank.
"Hm… I can finally have the opportunity to confront them…" said Aaronarra.
