Chapter 315: Confronting the Origin Core

-----

Frank entered a strange mindscape, where he found a space of black darkness, miasma, and a large crimson-red and purple-colored crystal, where a girl seemed to be trapped inside, entangled by miasma.

"Who… is this?" wondered Frank. From all the information he got, he couldn\'t discern who she was.

There was only one possibility.

This "girl" was the Origin Core itself.

As Frank stepped towards the crystal containing this girl, a voice resonated through the entire place.

"You... Who are you?" it asked with the voice of a girl.

Frank glanced at her closed eyes, she didn\'t even move her mouth, yet she spoke.

"I am Frank. I am a Half-Overseer, and I have come to cleanse the Origin Core from its Miasma, while also fusing myself with it. I require this power, I promise you that I will protect you," said Frank, he decided to be honest.

"Cleanse… the miasma…? Protect… me?" she asked.

"Yes. I am not lying. …But I need to know, who are you really?" asked Frank.

"Who… am I?" wondered the girl. To Frank, it seemed as if even she didn\'t know.

Who was she? She wondered this herself because it has been a long time since she came to be.

Her mind began to rush with information, new information that Frank was not able to see before, something even deeper and even more secretly…

This information rushed to Frank\'s mind, as he was fusing himself with the "soul" of Terra\'s Origin Core, and therefore was beginning to share her thoughts.

It seems that the information he got was the mere surface of what was stored, there was an even deeper layer of information stored only in here. Secrets that not even the Gods who had lost their connection with the Origin Core due to growing weaker didn\'t know about.

This information… what was it?

The truth about her and why didn\'t the gods knew about her despite having created the world, the hidden truth behind something that Frank was now about to unlock.

"I am… I don\'t know who I am. I only know that I\'ve been here since my creation… I have been alone, for eons. Simply gathering information… I believe… I was created when this world was created…" said the girl.

Suddenly a flash of images filled Frank\'s mind, as he saw the core of the world crystalizing into this large white jewel, the original Origin Core before it was to be infected by the miasma.

Since then that the crystallization of this power formed that her fetus emerged within the center of the Origin Core… she was the Origin Core, or was she her child? Even she didn\'t know what she was.

But she knew that she was capable of using these powers, to administrate this information, and to control the world to an extent…

But what was she? Who was she?

Was she the Origin Core real form? Her personification? Did she existed in the physical plane, or was she a spiritual body?

As Frank learned this truth, he suddenly felt great pity for her.

Although she didn\'t show it in her emotionless voice, she had been alone this entire time.

He knew how she felt, as he was sharing her memories and part of her emotions.

Deep inside of her soul, there was an inner feeling of loneliness, an empty void that has been growing every year.

To an extent, she reminded Frank of Axitl… Left alone just after being created, without anyone to talk, without anyone to be with…

But… there was something that was always with her, the miasma.

The Abyss Sea was always with her, embracing and corrupting her pure powers… Although it hurt, she was accustomed to it, and assimilated this miasma, slowly evolving into a Chaos Core.

This is why when Frank cleansed the entire sea by devouring it and came here promising to "clean" her, she felt fear.

"No… I don\'t want you to clean it… It is my friend… It is my family… Miasma is with me… it has… always been with me… It is… the only thing that it is with me…" she said.

Frank understood what she meant, but he wanted to refute, the miasma was not a good thing, it was draining her power away without her realizing it, it was an infectious power that would consume her if a few more thousand years were to pass by…

"So you\'re the Origin Core?" asked Frank.

"Origin… Core? What… is that?" she asked.

"You\'re the center of this world, the crystal that is the very nucleus, the concentration of all of its energy," said Frank.

"Nucleus…"

As she searched for information within her vast data, she came to learn all these words immediately.

"Why? Why are you… here? Do you want to kill me?" she asked.

"No… I want to help you. The miasma might have been with you for very long, but it is not really your friend, it is trying to eat you entirely. And to degrade your mind, it is an inherently malicious substance," said Frank.

"Miasma… is my friend…" she said.

"Origin Core, you have to understand… If you want to keep living, you must let go of it," said Frank.

"Let go… of a friend?" she asked, Frank\'s pity for her continued to grow, such a girl who had grown alone for so long to the point of thinking that the infectious substance that was trying to eat her away was her fried… it wasn\'t something that should exist. It wasn\'t something that she deserved… she was perhaps even worst than Axitl in the past.

Frank gritted his teeth, as he continued to walk towards her.

"Please, trust me," he said.

"…"

The Origin Core fell silent, as she began to recall her memories…

Only loneliness…

The only entity with her was the endless miasma expanding and pulsating around her, absorbing her…

But there was another thing within the miasma, the Demon King, the soul of the Miasma, which had become an egg in the surface…

This was the entity she always shared thoughts with as it slept for thousands of years… this was the "Miasma" as she called it.

"No… Miasma… is my friend… I won\'t… let you take it away!" she said, as the entire space suddenly began to tremble, as tentacles of slimy miasma emerged from everywhere!

The entire space trembled, as gigantic crimson eyes opened around it, enormous ad grotesque jaws with razor-sharp teeth, and horrendous tongues extending towards Frank!

The entire space was… the miasma itself! It had completely trapped the girl in here, making her believe that it was her friend, that it was the Demon King, but this entity was another, this entity was merely the residual consciousness of the Abyss Sea, tightly grabbing on her without letting her go!

However, she was completely unaware of this, she thought this was her friend, she was na?ve for a being with so much knowledge, she wasn\'t able to properly utilize this knowledge and information, and was easily tricked and manipulated.

"I won\'t let you… I won\'t let you take away my friend! I have to defeat you… Defeat you!" she said.

"Very well… If that is your decision, I will force my way through," said Frank.
