Chapter 207: A snooping Olympian
"Primordial goddess of the Earth and Creation."
|Gaia|
Hearing the name caused Arthur’s eyes to widen, and then a small smile appeared on his face.
"I k-knew it, I-it w-was her. Et..n.l...f...cr.....n."
Arthur’s words became more and more inaudible until he finally dropped back to the floor, unconscious.
Hades sighed before teleporting himself out of Sele to deal with the pest he had discovered.
◇ ◇ ◇
"Hmm... I could have sworn someone just called my name.
Oh well!"
A woman with pure white hair, dressed in a thin black negligee that contrasted with her white skin shrugged her shoulders as she sat down on her king-sized bed. She twirled her finger around in the air and cosmic energy wrapped twirled around it too.
Soon the bit of cosmic energy condensed into an orb before bursting. A thumb-sized ball of flames appeared at the top of her finger, she kept on twirling her hand around and small tiny spherical rocks appeared around the thumb-sized ball of flames and began orbiting around it.
She continued watching the growth of this mini structure as she twirled her finger in the air for a few minutes.
"I’m bored."
As soon as she said that, she opened her palm and squashed the entire mini structure that had grown by leaps and bounds.
She then blew the dust away from her palm and laid down on the bed, she then started thrashing around on the bed.
"I wanna meet Hyperion but I’m too embarrassed.
This is all his fault!"
**KNOCK
There was a knock and the room door opened to reveal a tall man with dark purple hair and eyes. He had a casual t-shirt and trousers on with flat leather shoes.
Waltzing into the room like it was his, he took a seat on the chair beside the bed before addressing the woman thrashing around on her bed.
"Why are you acting like some kind of teenage girl?"
"I am a teenage girl."
The woman shot back immediately as she sat up on the bed to face the man. Hearing her reply, he rolled his eyes before replying.
"Yeah right. And I’m an elementary schooler. "
"You’re no fun Rany."
"It’s ’Rany’ now?"
The man rose an eyebrow in surprise as he heard the way the woman addressed him. She had taken a part of his actual name and decided to call him that of her own volition.
The white-haired woman only nodded in affirmation, seeing this, ’Rany’ just decided to ignore her whims and address why he was there. Standing up, he walked towards her and spoke.
"I have a letter for you."
"From who?"
"Someone that I should be trying to kill at first sight; Hyperion."
The woman’s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing his words.
"Gimme!!! Gimme!! Where is it!!"
Rany just sighed seeing her flailing around like a child, he really did not like her relationship with Hyperion, and neither did the ’others’ who knew of it. He stared at her with a narrowed gaze and asked.
"Do you really want to go down this path?"
"Huh?"
"When the candidate selection of both sides ends, the war will resume and you would be forced to fight Hyperion. Can you dare to fight him?"
Hearing his question, the woman stopped flailing around and stared at Rany with a cold gaze. The two remained that way in silence for a few minutes before she suddenly punched him in the gut.
"Guh!"
Not expecting that, Rany grunted in pain while holding his stomach, he looked at her with a gaze that screamed ’WHY?!’ but she ignored it and gave a reply to his earlier question.
"That’s a problem for the future me to deal with."
She then flicked her fingers and his left trouser pocket glowed goldenly. She smiled and placed her hand inside, bringing out the ’letter’ inside it.
"Your job is done, now shoo."
As she said that, the light of teleportation covered Rany and sent him out of the room. She then laid down on her bed to ’read’ her ’letter’.
◇ ◇ ◇
While Aurora was tending to the unconscious trio, Hades was floating in space, inspecting what was left of the planet he had just consigned to oblivion not too long ago.
’Well, there is nothing left though.’
He thought while chuckling to himself, he then suddenly stretched his arm out towards his right and made a grabbing gesture.
Cosmic energy swirled around a certain point, a few hundred light-years from his location. The cosmic energy then formed into a chain and wrapped around something the size of a human head.
"It’s futile."
Hades then pulled his arm closer to himself, and the chain, alongside what it wrapped around, was pulled towards him at a speed faster than light, reaching his location immediately.
He then grabbed the area just below the chain and poured energy into his palm.
**HISSS!!
There was a small hissing sound and the appearance of what he grabbed was revealed. Hades was holding the neck of a man whose head was chained with a cosmic energy chain.
Hades then pulled him to his front to get a better look at him while disabling the chains.
It was a man with a chubby face, a red nose, and black curly hair with tints of purple. His watery blue eyes were bloodshot as if he had been drinking and he was wearing a casual T-shirt and a pair of shorts.
Upon meeting Hades’ eyes, the man revealed a forced smile and spoke with a similarly forced cheerful voice.
"Well, Hello Uncle. Coincidence meeting you here, don’t you think?"
Hades just stared at him silently before replying.
"Hello Dionysus, been a while, hasn’t it?"
He then flung the man, the Olympian god of wine and madness, Dionysus, into the planet right next to where the one he just destroyed was.
The next moment, cosmic energy wrapped around Hades’ body as he warped out of there and into the planet he threw Dionysus.
’I should teach Arthur cosmic energy teleportation.’
As he thought that, he arrived on the planet and slammed down the falling Dionysus with his foot.
**BOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Dionysus crashed into a mountain range and ended up destroying all the mountains in it before finally stopping. Unfortunately, before he could stand up, a foot landed on his chest, keeping him on the ground.
"Now then nephew, mind telling me why you are in hell?"
Dionysus gazed at Hades with his watery blue eyes, he tried to teleport out but found that he could not.
"Tsk, are you stupid or something, did you think I was going to let you run away so easily?
For my brother to send a main entity, it must have been quite an important issue, huh?"
He bent down and picked Dionysus by the neck, he then sighed before speaking once more.
"Honestly boy, I still haven’t forgiven you for the souls you stole from my underworld, you then had to run into me like this.
The law of Karma is really a bitch, huh?
Delivering you on a silver platter to me."
Dionysus, however, remained silent and refused to speak, he knew that the moment he spoke, his father’s plans would be compromised.
’Father said there is a high chance that Uncle Hades is the one who sold out Karman. For what reason? A child who can bring an end to us? Hmph!’
Dionysus scoffed internally at Hades while outwardly keeping a poker face. He believed that Hades would not do anything to him for fear of starting a war with his brothers.
It can be said to be caused by his arrogance as a high-ranked god, but even on the off chance that Hades let him go, there was no way that the ones whose universe he intruded into, would do the same.
Hades’ eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately backstepped a few meters with Dionysus in tow.
**CHOMP!!!
The next moment, there was a loud chomping sound, as if a beast just tried to take a bite of a large piece of meat but missed.
Dionysus felt his blood run cold, Hades was holding him forward by his neck before backstepping.
An inadvertent glance at the spot he was in, revealed the crust of earth there had been gouged out, he could see the red-hot magma that was supposed to be at least ten kilometres below the planet’s surface.
That showed just how much had been gouged out, and the fact that Hades backed away showed that whatever gouged out the earth, was strong enough to harm him.
Not to mention Dionysus, who was obviously weaker than Hades, if he was still there, his entire body, alongside Hades’ arm that was holding him, would have been eaten.
**CHOMP!!!
He then heard that sound again and snapped his head in the direction of the source. What he saw caused his eyes to widen.
It looked as if a beast had taken a bite out of the space there, causing a giant uneven tear to appear in space.
|It has been a while, Sir Hades. You should have let me take at least an arm.|
|This is a matter of Olympus, I’d deal with it myself.|
