The World's Origin Core had taken the form of a little girl when Frank rescued her from the Miasma that was eroding her mind.

Or well, it was more like the little girl had spontaneously emerged while the Origin Core was still in its same place.

Her origin was mysterious, what was she really?

Could she be something like the avatar of the whole world? A second body of the original one?

According to Gwendolyn, she had been sleeping this whole time up until now, where she had just woken up while Frank celebrated Orb's raise to the goddess with a dinner with everyone.

The girl was the personification of Terra's Origin Core, to say the least.

The powers that could be within her were enormous.

Even if Frank fused with the Origin Core, he was only sharing part of its energy, he was not able to completely attain everything it had! The only way would be by… devouring it, but that would end the entire planet, and would most likely kill this adorable girl as well, and he would never do such a thing.

Perhaps if he were to find another world that he wasn't interested in… but not for now.

Frank was rather satisfied with how things were at the moment, however, he was interested in developing some friendship with this girl, as he knew more and more of her past when she fought against the mold parasitizing her, he wanted to give her a bit of happiness…

Perhaps Frank was being selfish by wanting to find a bit of fulfillment in himself by bringing happiness to someone else? But this girl was the entire world, so perhaps he was merely being thankful and considerate about the world that has welcomed him, despite the hardships within Terra, he had met many allies and lovers.

"I see… Orb, Axitl, let's go," said Frank, calling his two wives alongside Gwendolyn, as the four quickly walked upstairs.

Orb and Axitl were important as well, and not just because they were his wives now, but because Axitl was a goddess, a being of high authority within Terra, and she felt the necessity to bring this girl some happiness, and Orb was… well, she was the daughter of Axitl, technically, and also the strongest Dungeon Core, perhaps she had already received the title of Dungeon Goddess, so she also held a similar position now.

And Gwendolyn was motherly, intelligent, and Frank was sure that she would be able to comfort the little Origin Core if she were to ever feel bad…

"So this is it… We are about to meet the world itself? Uwah… As if not enough crazy stuff has happened now…" sighed Orb.

"Y-Yeah… By the way Orb, how will people be able to enter your Dungeon now?" asked Axitl.

"Oh! That's easy, thanks to the Gates that Frank set up around the town, people can enter directly into the entrance of the dungeon which is now deposited inside my Divine Dungeon Core…" said Orb.

"I see… So Orb is now like a turtle with an internal shell?" wondered Gwendolyn.

"Eh? That's quite the way to put it… but yeah, I suppose," said Orb.

It was kind of like that, as the core of a dungeon was always in the deepest areas of it, but now Orb's entire dungeon had emerged inside of her core! It was as if a person took out their heart and decided to deposit themselves inside of it… It was a rather bizarre concept if examples such as these were given.

Especially because Orb didn't felt any pain nor discomfort, and this had simply made things easier for her, her main body, the Dungeon Core, had become something like her Soul Core, while her Divine Soul had become her body now.

Essentially, she was like a Dungeon Goddess, with a gigantic Divine Realm-like Dungeon inside of her that anyone could enter through the Gates inside of Frank's Divine Realm!

Frank had already begun to wonder if it could be possible for Orb to absorb or fuse herself with other Dungeons, and that he might end up doing that so she could grow even stronger…

He also felt a deep Soul Connection with her aside from their romantic connection of mutual love, as she was his dungeon, and he was her dungeon master and "owner" although if he were to say it out loud, it would sound as if she were her slave or something… Due to this connection, he was able to get Divine Energy from her as she harvested it quite fast as the Low-ranked monsters were hunted inside by the dozens of Adventurers entering her dungeon every day.

She had made sure to put the most dangerous dungeons on the deepest floors, so the dungeon was very balanced, the first floors would slowly grow in difficulty, but even a young kid wanting to level up would be able to do so by defeating horned rabbits on the first floor without much risk, while those that desired greater challenges and better loot could descend further and fight deadly Rank 3 or above monsters.

And the more EXP people grind by themselves, the more share would Frank get, as he shared the System with anyone that entered the Divine Realm and were to be "blessed" by him.

Like this, he was constantly receiving a stream of Experience Points, App Points, and Divine Energy passively!

The group quickly reached the room where the girl was left to rest, as Frank was the first to enter.

The door slowly opened as they were greeted by a little girl with sleepy eyes sitting over the bed, she was wearing a single white dress and nothing else.

The girl's eyes were monochromatic as one of them had crimson-red color and the other was yellow-gold. She had long silvery-white hair, silky white, and smooth skin, and she was completely flat. Frank noticed that in the middle of her forehead, there was a small white jewel, which was had been infected by the miasma, making it purple. Even after healing herself, this color still remained.

"There you are… How are you feeling?" asked Frank with a gentle smile, as the girl glanced at Frank expressionlessly.

"Hug…" she said, extending her arms.
