Just as we were back in the Ankh Desert after a heck of a series of events, Frank began to groan in pain.

“Fuck!” Frank stood up, suddenly falling to his knees. “Agh! This wound hasn’t healed yet?!”

He looked at the wound of his chest and his shoulder, a strange force was weakening him and infecting it. He continued squirming in the floor, suddenly vomiting blood, his cosmic power began to weaken severely.

“Uuggh… Akkhhh…”

“Frank!”

I flew to his side as I tried to help him.

“Get away from me! It is all your damn fault! Why did you move?! It all went terribly wrong!” He sighed.

“I am sorry, okay? I… Sorry.” I sighed.

Frank sat down in the desert, facepalming and sighing.

“We have to get out of here asap…” He sighed.

“Can you?” I asked.

“I… Ungh! Agh!” Frank continued to groan in pain. “My cosmic powers… they weakened so much with this wound? These bastards put a seal on it…”

“A seal?” I asked.

“Like the one in Khaos, but smaller…” He sighed.

“Shit…”

“Yeah…”

“Wait!”

I quickly regurgitated the Cosmic Stone as I showed it to him.

“If I give you this, can you heal?” I wondered.

“I… maybe. I don’t know.” He sighed. “Give it to me.”

“Okay, but only if you promise me to help me out here.” I said, the stone was far from his reach.

“You….” Frank gritted his teeth.

“Promise me!” I said.

“Okay! Fine… If we do this quick…” He sighed. “I think we can handle it… I just… hope Chaos and Abyss are okay.”

“They looked confident.” I said with a smile, giving him the stone.

Frank quickly grabbed the stone, as he waved his hands.

POOF!

Suddenly, an enormous cauldron made of gold and incrusted with many beautiful jewels appeared, he threw the stone there as he summoned several other mystic materials filled with cosmic energy and began doing Alchemy right in front of me.

“[Synthesis]!”

FLAAAASH!

The cauldron began to tremble as the materials converged together in a flash. I saw the beautiful of all these energies converging into a new item, as I felt slightly enlightened…

And from within the cauldron, a potion emerged, floating out of the cauldron, and remaining levitating in midair. The potion bottle had the shape of a star, and had a blue liquid inside, with white sparkles.

“What is this?” I asked.

“A Primordial Cosmic Elixir. You think I just swallow the stones?” He sighed. “I did it before but I discovered it was incredibly inefficient. My System told me that I can get more benefits by using it as a material to create a potion, so I comprehended Alchemy and learned some Skills here and there… and I deciphered a new recipe, Primordial Cosmic Elixir…”

He quickly began drinking the potion without faltering, drinking every little last drop of it. I felt the urge of stealing it from him because it looked so amazing. I could get so much power out of it! Damn it… Well, that stone belonged to him and he promised to help me, so it was a fair exchange I suppose.

FLASH!

Suddenly, his wounds began to shine with blue cosmic light, as bright starlight emerged here and there. The wound slowly closed, but he still felt weakened.

“At least the wounds are closed now… Overseers can damage my True being, so I can’t just cut down that piece of my body and try to regenerate, even if I do that the wound will remain unless I do something more extreme…” He sighed. “Their attacks are no jokes…”

“And even cutting your body would weaken you right?” I wondered.

“Yeah… I am not in a state in which I can afford to act like that- oh, you know of such tactics?” He wondered.

“More or less.” I giggled. “But for now… Are you feeling alright?”

“Yeah, I am okay…” Frank began stretching and flexing around to get better. “Sigh… Alright, where do we go? Where’s this demon king?”

“We need to first help out my friends! We left them in the mountains…” I sighed.

“Oh right…” Frank quickly realized I had a party. “Sorry for… attacking them. I was a bit freaked out for… well, you saw the reason.”

“Well it’s okay, I guess I can finally tell why you were so worried. Those bastards… they’re also my enemy.” I said. “They locked mother and are even threatening to end the Universe where we inhabit.”

“Hm…” He sighed. “I suppose we are the same. My father was punished for creating me. He fell in love with a normal human from my Earth, she gave birth to me. The Overseers wanted his head and wanted to destroy us. They’re strangely attached to “purity” or something.”

“Yeah they sounded like assholes.” I said. “I don’t even know if I’ll ever reach the strength necessary to confront them…”

“It is an unending road of war and bloodshed.” Frank sighed. “Everything is… in every world…”

“Well, so… Want me to hitch you a ride?” I asked, quickly turning into my monstrous butterfly form.

“Fine…” Frank quickly sat over my abdomen as I flew through the skies.

“So those guys want you dead? But now they kind of changed their minds, no?” I asked.

“Yeah, that’s new.” He said. “They used to despise me. But their leader, that bastard changed his mind out of the blue…”

“Why?” I wondered.

“Maybe he grew interested on me or something, I can’t really tell…” Sighed Frank. “Maybe he wanted to use me to get to Chaos. He’s more valuable than I am now.”

“Those damn bastards…” I groaned. “Wait, how many Overseers are out there?”

“Within our Dimension there’s a zone known as the Sea of Nothingness. Our Universe floats in there. The Overseers inhabit half of that area within the Dimension. I had never traveled across dimensions before until this day, so I have no idea about that spectrum. But Overseers seem to be capable of traversing around them as they please, but not completely.”

“Not completely?”

“Yeah, or they would be here trying to kill us right now, right?”
