Chapter 132: Waking Up A Sleeping Goddess of Life

-----

Before Frank were to go to sleep, he made sure to 'pray' to Abraddon.

He had asked Gwendolyn about it, and she had taught him a very simple prayer to the God of this Nation.

It was as simple as mentally saying 'Oh, father of Nature, bless me with your protection'… And then, he was able to 'ask' Abraddon what people desired.

It was indeed quite similar to Earth's Christian religion, where people usually prayed to their God for a miracle, for something that they wished to come true.

It was very rudimentary and quite stupid.

But Frank did this mentally several times, and because he had his Divine Protection, he considered that Abraddon might notice his prayer amongst the thousands that there could be.

And just as he wished, he was called into Abraddon's Divine Realm as he finally managed to sleep profoundly.

The chimera God met Frank on all of his grotesque yet mystical splendor.

"Well, I really didn't want to call you here so soon… But it seems that you were constantly praying to me, so I had no choice…" said Abraddon.

"That's because I wanted to ask you a few things, Abraddon, sorry to bother you," said Frank.

"Bother? You would never bother me with your presence, Frank… Actually, I also have a request for you… Could you do it before you ask me what you need? I believe that she might also have some ideas…" said Abraddon.

"She?" asked Frank.

"Hm, follow me, I will explain it to you as we walk," said Abraddon, walking with Frank through the vast jungles of his Divine Realm.

"So?" asked Frank.

"Well, do you remember anything about the church you've been to? Aside from my paintings or statues, there is another figure at my side," said Abraddon.

"Another figure…?" wondered Frank, as he tried to remember the time he visited Acacia Town's church.

Suddenly, Frank's memory, which was usually not the best, became clearer, and if his own mind was like a library, the memories, and images that his sight registered in those days were brought into his mind.

He could not help but think that the improvement of his Mind capabilities might not only be part of his higher Magic stat but also of his Mind Skill, which was currently at Level 4.

Frank then realized that alongside the painting of a chimera, Abraddon, there was also the painting of a beautiful, brown-skinned woman that wore a dress made of plants and flowers, and whose long and golden hair seemed endless.

"Yes… There was someone, a woman at your side," said Frank.

"That's right. That woman is my sister, Thineas, the Goddess of Life, Love, and Harvest. Meanwhile, I am the God of Beasts and Nature, we both represent similar things, and we are believed to be the father and mother of nature and life," said Abraddon.

"Oh… So that's the name of the other Goddess, I haven't really heard her name at all…" said Frank.

"Hm… A few hundreds of years ago, she was as worshiped as much as me, but since she was wounded and fell into a slumber, her worshiping was stopped because she stopped doing as many miracles as she used to. My sister loved to give miracles to our children… But it really exhausted her Divine Power…"

"Most of the religion shifted to me after rumors spread by the church about her death became larger, and some extremists only forced my worshiping. This mostly was to lower the position of women in society, as I am a male god, while Thineas was the female, we both represented each gender… It was all a plot which I was not able to intervene with due to my low amount of power, giving oracles has become very hard," said Abraddon.

"What?! So they stopped worshiping her so people would begin to think that women were not as equal as men? That's very… ridiculous, to be honest… I am in quite the disbelief that such a stupid plan actually worked…" said Frank.

"More or less, I do not possess enough power to send messages to my people every so often, so it becomes very hard for me to do anything to change what they're doing… Sigh," said Abraddon.

"I see… So now that you got so many people you cannot really control them anymore, and they are going rampant doing whatever they want, to the point of using their creator, you, as a figure to manipulate others… I guess that's why your religion is so predominant, with many people that act quite racist against other races that are not beast-kin…" said Frank.

"Indeed, to begin with, our religion never intended to be like this, nor I intended for it to influence people so much… I just wanted some kind of place where we could be acknowledged as their parents, nothing more… My children had twisted their own beliefs and use my figure to things I never taught them to do… And I am here, hopeless, and without anything that I can do against that…" said Abraddon.

"Really? Nothing at all?" asked Frank.

"Not much… Since I have been with that wound that my power has been leaking constantly, weakening me slowly, just recently that you managed to heal my wound is when I finally am capable of amassing power once more… But only a few days had gone by since then, I cannot possibly reach my pinnacle in just that time, hundreds or even thousands of years are needed," said Abraddon.

"Oh damn… Well… Oh? A lake?" asked Frank.

"This lake… is where Thineas is… The wound she received was even deadlier than mine, and to save her from weakening too fast, I created this seal with all of my last power at that moment, this seal keeps her from deteriorating… albeit her power still slowly leaks away…" said Abraddon.

Frank noticed that in the middle of the lake, there was a small isle where a beautiful lady rested atop a bed of flowers, her skin was brown, and her hair blonde and long, her body was covered in flower, plans, moss, and fungus, she seemed to be like the incarnation of life itself.

"She's… beautiful… And there is something within her… Her presence? It feels… so comfortable…" muttered Frank.

"Oh? So even with those from other worlds… That's Thineas presence, it makes any other living being relate her to their mother as if she were the mother of everyone, and in a sense, she is the mother of all life, so it might as well be the truth," said Abraddon.

"I see…" said Frank.

"Frank, you can heal others, right?" asked Abraddon.

"Ah… Yes, that is how I healed you," said Frank.

"If it is not much to ask… Frank, could you… heal Thineas? I would be forever grateful!" said Abraddon, as he almost kneeled in front of Frank.

"W-Wait a second, don't lower your heads! Abraddon, you are a god, do not lower yourself so much for a mere mortal, please… I will gladly do so, you don't need to lower yourself for me," said Frank.

"Ah… Sorry about that, and thanks…" said Abraddon.

"Then… I will get there… Err, do I just swim or…?" asked Frank.

"Hm, let me move you there," said Abraddon, as he willed it, moving Frank from the position he was towards the isle in the middle of the lake, right before Thineas.

"A Divine Realm is such a useful place…" thought Frank.

Frank then glanced at the beautiful goddess of life, as she rested atop her bed of flowers, her chocolate-colored skin was shining brightly below the rays of the Divine Realm's sun, and her beauty was also enchanting.

Her face seemed both mature and very young, a perfect combination. Her nose was pointed, and her eyebrows a bit big yet cute and 'natural'.

Her lips were big and seductive, but also seemed natural, and as she slept, she seemed to gently smile back at Frank.

"Has she noticed my presence?" wondered Frank, extending his hand towards Thineas, as he noticed her wound.

"This…"

Thineas' wound was enormous, and it extended from the middle of her chest down to her hips, leaving an enormous open area, which seemed to have been forcefully closed by Abraddon through the use of Spider Thread which he naturally produced as a chimera of many beasts, however, the damage did not heal in all this time, and her power was still leaking.

"Who could have done such a thing to such an important Goddess as a Goddess of Life?" thought Frank, without faltering any more, he put his hand right in the middle of Thineas' chest, closing his eyes as he slowly started to infuse his power through Gift of Life.

Flash!

The power of healing, the life force of Frank, began to leak out of his soul, merging with Thineas as her wounds quickly started to close.

"It seems that it's working just fine…" thought Frank.

However, as he began to infuse more of his own Life Force, something started to happen.

Alongside the golden yellow light, a bit of darkness was mixed in, which Frank noticed too late, quickly taking out his hand from Thineas, however, her wound was already closed completely.

"Did I just… gave her Death Attribute Mana by accident?" thought Frank.

Frank has not realized yet, but his Gift of Life had undergone some changes since he became an Undead, and even more, since his soul was fused with Hades, then almost eaten, and regenerated with Divine Power, his own soul, where the Life Force really came from, was also merged with Death Attribute Mana, hence, the name of his soul being 'Eclipsing Soul', where he held a balance between life and death on his own soul.

Due to this, Frank would not be able to give completely clean Life energy when using Gift of Life, something that would not be dangerous for the living, as Death Attribute Mana was usually harmless, and it wouldn't simply make someone become an Undead out of nowhere… However, in a Goddess, its effects were unclear, especially when such Mana was infused right inside of her body through the wound…

Suddenly, Thineas eyes opened, as she slowly underwent some strange changes.

Part of her golden hair became dark purple, and her left eye turned from golden to crimson red…

Alongside this, half of her dress of plants had turned into poisonous and dark-colored plants, alongside many red and purple roses and sharp thorns…

Thineas glanced at Frank with a serene smile.

"Ah… Thank you for your power, my child… I have been not only healed… but even reborn… This power… I have never felt it rush through my body… This is… Death! Is it…?" asked Thineas, alongside her serene smile, her crimson eye seemed to gleam with some kind of eeriness.

"Thineas! Huh? What with that change of look?" asked Abraddon in confusion.

"Oops?" said Frank.
