My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 29: Abraddon, the God of Beasts!

-

In the middle of the ceremony to acquire the crest of Abraddon, the mark that every citizen of the Nation of Abraddon possessed, Frank was suddenly engulfed by a strange darkness, as his consciousness was dragged to a different space.

Similar to the experience he had on his dreams where he met the woman that called herself Gaia, Frank found himself in a different landscape, seemingly of a magical origin that did not seem to feel like the 'real world' outside of it.

It seemed like a strange space, a realm of sorts. This place, the one he was suddenly brought upon in the middle of the ritual to acquire the crest of Abraddon, was like a world dominated by nature, enormous jungles filled any place that the eye could see, the sky was clear as water and the strong sunbathed the loud jungles with its warmth.

Many animals were roaring and singing around, birds of many types and tree-dwellers of many kinds, monkeys, rodents, and giant insects.

However, before Frank could even begin to fathom where he was suddenly brought upon, his legs began to move by themselves, as if they were being manipulated by an external force.

As he walked through the jungles relentlessly, the presence of a fearful entity became larger and larger, glancing at Frank from within the jungles… Frank's entire self was nervous, he tried many times to oppose this power, but he was incapable of moving of his own will, and in this place, it seemed as if his physical body was not present, which also included his phone, the item he needed to escape from a world through the world's gate…

He wanted to open his inventory, but nothing happened either, or as he slowly reached a clearing within the jungle, the presence of the entity glared upon him with even greater pressure…

When he finally stepped out of the jungle, an enormous and bizarre creature filled his sight, seemingly made out of countless pieces of various animals of many types, such as mammals, birds, reptiles, bugs, crustaceans, fish, amphibians, and more.

The creature glanced at Frank with its three heads, those of a wolf, a lizard, and a goat, bizarrely moving its long snake-like neck around, surrounding Frank's sight with the bizarre appearance of a creature that could only appear in the worst of nightmares… the only thing that could describe this creature was a Chimera.

The creature spoke through a roaring voice that seemed to be the combination of dozens of different types of tones of voices and roars of different animals, the voice resonated through the entire world where Frank found himself, and even his own mind seemed to be grasped by the voice alone, Frank's senses were in alert, but he could simply stand there and glance at it.

"You… You're not from this world, foreigner," said the entity, glancing at Frank with its three heads. The head of the lizard would often take out its tongue as if trying to feel Frank's scent through the sensory glands of its tongue like many lizards would often do.

Frank was somehow given the right to speak at this moment, as the pressuring feeling engulfing his soul and mind slowly gave for a little bit at the very least.

"You're… Could you be… The Beast God, Abraddon-sama…?" asked Frank, as he barely caught his breath over the entity's pressure.

The entity glanced at Frank as its six eyes closed for a bit and then opened again.

"Yes, foreigner. I am the Beast God Abraddon. The father of nature, of life, of the beasts, and the beast-kin, my children," said the creature, he was, in fact, the god of the beast-kin himself, Abraddon who had called upon Frank for unknown motives…

"Your pressure… it is not as welcoming as that of hers… You're a completely different entity than hers… Haahh…" muttered Frank.

"Her? Who might you be talking about, foreigner? Have you met one of my siblings? What have they told you?!" asked Abraddon, he suddenly became more aware and cautious, even his tone became a bit angered… Basing on his tone alone, Frank deduced that Abraddon did not have a good relationship with the rest of the gods living in Terra.

"I have not spoken with your siblings, Abraddon-sama… I am speaking of the Goddess of the world I come from, Gaia…" muttered Frank, deciding to speak the truth, as he suspected that if he were to not, Abraddon would use some kind of power as a God to extract the information out of his brain anyways.

"Gaia… So that is the name of the foreigner goddess that sent you here… And for what motive have you come to the Nation of my children? What is the purpose of that Goddess with the world of Terra? Foreigners are not welcomed in my domain…" Abraddon spoke.

"(Should I… tell him the complete truth? He seems not quite friendly, to be honest…) I have come to save my world by helping you, Abraddon-sama…" said Frank.

"Saving your world by helping me? What nonsense are you speaking of?" asked Abraddon.

"My world is slowly perishing… Billions of lives will be lost… Gaia-sama had sent me to this world and various others with the mission of creating connections between them and my world. Through that connection, our world will slowly recover by absorbing the residual energy from them… Perhaps my presence might be disgusting for Abraddon-sama… But I am willing to assist you in your battle against your siblings in exchange for you forgiving my life today" said Frank.

Frank quickly ideated a plan, and at the same time partially explained how the process of healing Earth was through creating connections with other worlds.

"Help? I do not require your help, weakling. A foreigner like you should not dare to speak as if you were the last hope of my cause. And I and my siblings are not fighting… we are merely… well, we just hold different beliefs, that is all" said Abraddon.

"I apologize for my insolence, Abraddon-sama," said Frank.

Abraddon felt a bit flattered by Frank's words, as he was being very polite of a god that resembled a hideous monster like him. Abraddon had experienced several times how many of his believers fainted out of horror or shock whenever he appeared inside of their dreams to give them oracles, feeling himself a bit detached from his children due to how those that believed the most and were finally given the chance to look at their father were to feel so terrified after finally glancing at the divine entity.

Although Frank seemed a bit scared, he was mostly unfazed by Abraddon's presence, and in the first place, the god had thought that just by his presence alone Frank would try to simply run away from this world immediately… but instead, he stayed in here and even hold a conversation with him, something that he did not have for hundreds of years.

"Hmph. Do you say that you only require the residual energy? What does that mean?" asked Abraddon.

"Well… You see, the residual energy of the world of Terra is any kind of energy that it is disposed of after something like a spell is used. That residual energy often simply stays in the air until it dissipates, but if a strong enough connection is made with my world, that energy will be recycled into my world and be used as nourishment… According to the Goddess, she said that she did not intend to destroy any world nor make disrupt them, she only takes what is necessary… She had also said that whenever enough energy was given for her full recovery, she would try to repay the favor as much as she could to the worlds that helped her…" said Frank.

He was lying at this point, but Abraddon did not notice this as he was flattered by Frank's attitude and also over the opportunity of getting to know different worlds. Being a god was really boring, seeing a different world might bring some entertainment to him.

"Is that true, foreigner?" asked Abraddon.

"…Yes, Abraddon-sama. I would never lie to a God," said Frank.

Abraddon nodded with his three heads as he seemed a bit more relaxed now, resting over the clearing with his enormous and chimeric body.

"Is that so… Well, I might let you do as you please as long as you do not disrupt the peace of my children's nation. I see that you have made already some relationships with my children. Ahem. Well, I would also like to ask you for a few things… such as… how's the world there?" asked Abraddon.

"…Eh? Abraddon-sama, is that your question?" asked Frank… he was a bit taken aback by the chill attitude of the god all out of the sudden.

"Yes, I am very serious. I want to know," said Abraddon.

"Well… It is a vastly different world from Terra, you see…"

Frank spent an hour explaining and introducing Earth to Abraddon, and each time he spoke about the food, the entertainment such as games, novels, comics, movies, and other things, Abraddon would begin to wave his dozens of tails in excitement.

"If you can freely go there as you may, would you bring some of those things to me? I can call you in a dream and you can give them to me" said Abraddon.

"Errr… I don't see why not" said Frank.

"It is a deal then! I will give you my blessing to boot then, as long as you keep your promise, foreigner… What's your name?" asked Abraddon.

"I am… Frank, Frank James" said Frank.

"Very well, Frank. I hereby declare you as my protected, hold into my crest and my divine protection, and make good use of them" said Abraddon, as Frank was suddenly bestowed upon a small piece of Abraddon's soul into his.

His entire body was engulfed in new energy, vitality raising from his entire self.

"You can go now, I will call you on your dreams in two days, make sure to bring the things I asked you, such as the 'coke soda' and the 'light novels'…" said Abraddon.

"Yes, I will, thank you for your benevolence, Abraddon-sama," said Frank, as he was suddenly brought back to reality…
