Chapter 186: Revelations
-----
"The Overseers are the rulers of the cosmos and most of the eastern area of the outer void… Although there are other entities within them… they are the most oppressive rulers within the outer void…" sighed Frank's father.
"So all this ti… you have been… running away from them?" asked Frank.
"I may be an Overseer, but my powers are not near as enough compared to them, a group of Overseers could easily defeat … Running away and sealing your powers was everything I could do… I might be able to freely traverse the cosmos, but against other Overseers, I am left hopeless…" sighed Frank's father.
"So that's… why everything… has happened… why everything has been as it is?" asked Frank.
"Yes… mostly… there have been… other things that had happened within Earth that I was not able to prevent to befall upon you… Such as your powers attracting the Source into your sealed Infinite Origin and slowly unlocking its powers, such Source rged with it and manifested itself as the System you use to grow stronger, which is simply the ability to slowly unlock the powers you already had deep within you," said Frank's father.
"The Source? And the System… Do you know about them? But what is the Source?" asked Frank.
"I do know. I've been within your Infinite Origin, watching over your hardships and… everything…" said Frank's father.
"You… have been with this whole ti? Through all of this? But then why didn't you helped ?!" asked Frank.
"…Because I could not. I am but the Astral Projection made from a Will left by your father, my original main body… Yet, even if I am not your original father… I see you as my son…" said Frank's father.
"I see… It wouldn't make sense if… my real father was with this whole ti…" sighed Frank.
"My son, now let tell you what the Source is, and what Earth's Origin Core, or well, Gaia, planned to do…" said Frank's Father.
"Planned… to do? Is it because Earth is dying?" asked Frank.
"Indeed… Due to special entities within Earth, the planet's Origin Core started to be drawn out of energy to sustain itself, and was slowly decaying… This happened because of these chaotic beings, agents of chaos who planned the demise of Earth… I had once tried to stop them and had managed to defeat many, but so still managed to hide and co back when I was gone…" said Frank's father.
"Agents of Chaos?" asked Frank.
"They are entities born to unleash Chaos. Earth is a special world, capable of generating its own Gods… many Gods have been generated around it, powerful beings within their own standards… Amongst them, so desired the power of Earth and to beco independent beings… So of them caused many catastrophes and brought such damage to the Origin Core…" said Frank's father.
"I see… I have heard that there are many entities of divine power that surged from the beliefs of mortals and Gaia's own mana… So there can even be so of them that completely neglect her as the ruler and wanted to overtake her…" said Frank.
"Yes, Gaia had planned to create a herald of her powers, which she nad the Source. A concentrated mass of her Divinity that contained enough power to give the herald the ability to draw source energies from other worlds and universes so Earth could regenerate… The Source was destined for soone else, but due to a fight against the Agent of Chaos, the Source fell into the surface of Earth and was attracted by your Infinite Origin, fusing with it and… bringing you the power to travel through worlds and unlock the power of your Overseer Half slowly, through a System that could be easy to understand and also familiar to you…" said Frank's father.
"So even… the power to buy stuff from a shop is sothing that an Overseer can do?" asked Frank.
"Mildly, that is the power of creation. All Overseers can create galaxies and worlds, creating a magic item shouldn't be hard as long as enough energy and resources are given, which translated as App Points, which is the power you draw from the Worlds you visit…" said Frank's father.
"I see… But even then…" muttered Frank.
"You might wonder how I cannot just build a magical item so we could live happily sowhere? It was impossible, the Overseers would be able to easily see through this and catch … However, Frank, your powers had already diverged from a normal Overseer, and you are reaching different grades and heights of power now… By fusing yourself with the Source, your System has beco sothing akin to a Trait. Traits are special Skills that Overseers have when they absorb Galaxy Cores… It seems that you generated your own Trait through this, and can do things no other Overseers can," said Frank's father.
"But even then… I am not strong enough to do anything…" sighed Frank.
"That's because your power is locked away. However, that you have been called to this dream ans that you have managed to unlock a greater part of it. And now, I can even help you unlock the rest," said Frank's father.
"The power of an Overseer? Can I really have it?" asked Frank.
"Indeed. You can, my son… It is not a borrowed power or anything, it is the power that has always been rightfully yours… However, unlocking it might bring unexpected outcos, and I fear that your physical body, as a Half-Overseer, cannot take on all of it…" said Frank's father.
"If I were a pure-blooded Overseer, would I be able to withstand my own power?" asked Frank.
"Yes… But your existence is the result of I and your mother's love, so you ended as a Half-Overseer… Although your body has undergone several changes due to the powers you have borrowed from other worlds, you are still a Human. You must keep amassing more of such worlds' powers, so you can one day make your body match your Overseer Power," said Frank's father.
"I see… Knowing about all of this has really cleared my mind a bit… So many questions finally answered… yet there are many arising now…" said Frank.
"I can help you train this greater part of your Overseer Power that you have unlocked, and help you repair your soul as well. However, the full extent cannot be completely unlocked. You must go through stages of existence first with your body and soul to finally unlock your true power and develop it even further," said Frank's father.
"Ranks of Existence? Like Soul Ranks?" asked Frank.
"Indeed. There are many Ranks across all worlds, and although they differ from one another, they always have a transcendental way of calculating power. I call this Existence Rank… Thanks to the power you received from soone, soone that also brought that challenge to you, it seems that you are close to achieving the Rank of a Demigod… Your Soul might also be close to rising as a Divine Soul… and your body should also experint with such changes," said Frank's father.
"Demigod?! ?!" asked Frank.
"After a series of occurrences, you seem to have achieved this level of power… However, the way that you did it was… too hard and challenging, you were close to dying many tis… Which fills with bitterness…" sighed Frank's father.
Frank then recalled all these monts of near-death, where he ended even stronger afterward… however each ti was more traumatizing than the previous one… However, now that he had acquired a power that might soon awaken Demigod, he felt like such hardships and suffering… were a bit worth it.
Now that Frank was given the chance to unlock more of his power as an Overseer, he had begun to contemplate what kind of being would he beco…
"After all the incidents and dangers that have happened since I awakened my abilities and absorbed the Source that I've only wished to always be stronger… I want to protect those I love… and I want to revive mom and Okita… I want to protect Kai and make sure she grows happy… I just want to… make everyone I love happy…" said Frank.
Frank's father smiled warmly at Frank.
"I know… I know it very well… And now that you have the opportunity to do what I could not accomplish… I will help you unlock this new power and guide you through it, even if a bit before I fade away…" said Frank's father.
"Fade… away?" asked Frank.
"I am an Astral Projection set to guide you as you unlock your first stage of powers as an Overseer… I will fade away when such ti cos… as the power I was made of is simply a Will, I cannot stay with you through your journey after you ca up from your coma…" said Frank's father.
"What? So you are… leaving again?" asked Frank.
"I… I am sorry… I am not… my main body… And in fact, I have lost my Astral Connection with it so ti ago… Perhaps… sothing bad has happened to it…" said Frank's father.
"W-What?" asked Frank.
"We need to hurry, Frank. There is not much ti left for to fade away. My main body is not important now but your progress… Are you ready?" asked Frank's father, he was clearly pressured by ti.
"I… there is so much I want to talk about with you… so much I want to ask you… But I understand… Yes, let's begin," said Frank as his eyes showed a blazing conviction, filling his father with happiness.
"I am glad you understand… Very well, I will open the seal within your Origin, and unleash a large part of it. It will be hard, but I am here with you, I will help you get through this challenge… Frank, are you ready?" asked Frank's father.
"Yes!" said Frank, as Frank's father hand's suddenly entered Frank's chest without any difficulty, grasping sothing deep within his soul… his Origin!
