Chapter 165: 2.45 The Titan Goddess (1)
As she stood, hidden in plain sight by using the power of her eyes, Eris couldn’t help but scoff and blame herself for her current predicament.
"I should have just stayed in Athena’s jail. 10,000 years, that’s all it was... but as soon as I saw Helen and she told me this grand plan to take over the world with the titans I created, I jumped at the opportunity. Now I’m stuck in Limbo during Hades’ work. Fuck this." She muttered to no one.
Her only crime was the creation of the titans. Nothing more, nothing less. Had she not acted with them, her life would be completely different. Her 10,000 years would be over in about 4,000 and she’d be free to go. Now, she was being summoned by Hades’ and a god she thought Hades’ might accidentally reveal when he implanted her the eyes.
"Fuckers too smart Dionyus, we need to be careful. I’m sure you’re being summoned for eyes so let’s get this over with," Eris barked, still pissed she was left in Limbo to recruit.
As the two appeared in the secret realm, Skylar immediately notified Athena.

"Well, well, well it’s about time you showed up," Hades’ grimacing laugh echoed throughout the realm.
"Let me guess, another set of eyes?" Eris said with a forced smile.
"Indeed! It’s about time Dionysus you’ve been wasting away in Limbo for far too long... let’s get started."
Eris watched as Hades and Persephone performed the same eye implants as she received, although this time they were black with light blue pentagrams.
’I wonder why we all have a different color?’ Eris thought to herself as she twirled her silver hair.
Dionyus didn’t seem very thrilled about everything, but he, much like Eris, was in for the long haul. He sat there with his eyes shut for nearly 2 hours before he could open them.
"Well, what do you think?" Hades asked while laughing hysterically.
"They’re perfect, thank you Master," Dionysus said while looking at himself in a handheld mirror.
Lord X continued to look at Helen and Azazel’s titan battle against the Rhino Humanoids, and despite being in super slow motion, it was still taking longer than he would have liked.
Eris picked up on it and frowned. "You could always send me to give them a little boost?" she suggested hopefully.
"No need. They’ll either get it done or they’ll die. Not our problem to worry about right now. I heard there’s a new prophecy. Go see and if you can get your hands on what it is," Hades’ ordered.
"You’re sending me to Exteria? Seriously?" Eris asked, confused.
"Stop answering my questions with questions and just go!" he screamed, the anger suppressed by the presence of his wife.
She teleported out of there as quickly as she could and landed in the demon realm. The werewolves and demons were fighting amongst themselves until Eris got them in line.
’What the hell is going on here?’ she thought.
"It’s your fucking fault we’re doomed to die in the first place! Every time we’re sent out with those bloody titans they come back and we’re all dead. What are we even here for? Just to die to serve your great purpose?"
"The demons die just as much as you do jackasses! Without Azazel here and Malphas lost in his own head, we’re all out here fighting and dying while Helen and Azazel are out doing who knows what! Now there’s a new prophecy that doesn’t even have Sora killing off Exteria! What the fuck is this!"
"You, with me." Eris pointed at the demon who lashed out at the werewolf.
"No thanks mam. I’d rather not die today."
"I’m not going to kill you, you fucking moron I need to know more about the prophecy." Eris barked back.
"Then go ask Malphas he’s the one moping around doing nothing around here anyway. Send the wolves back to their little dens while you’re at it missy."
Eris cut off his head without a second thought.
"You fight, you die. You disobey me, you die. Our orders are to fight according to Hades’ plan. Does anyone else have a problem with that?" Eris said sternly as she slowly stepped in a 360 degree circle with her blade drawn, pointing it at every ally for intent.
’Where the fuck is Malphas anyway?" she demanded.
"Castle mam. Azazel’s lair." a demon shouted.
Eris quickly teleported away and found Malphas sleeping at his desk. She kicked his chair, which caused him to wake up suddenly.
"What was that for? You try dealing with these idiots once in a while," Malphas complained.
"What was the fucking prophecy. Why is everyone so disappointed?" She demanded while clicking her tongue in anger.
"Ha, funny you should ask. You’re the reason everyone’s pissed off!" Malphas taunted.
Eris took a step back, confused. "What the fuck do you mean I’m the reason everyone’s pissed off?"
"Well in all the other prophecies, Sora either saved the world or went berserk and we got all his power but in these, he saves the world in one, and in the other one, he kills Helen and Azazel, you get away, he chases you, and before he gets a chance to get berserk, his kid kills him and you get away. So why do you get to live while all of us die?" Malphas stood up, angrily.
Eris used her eyes.
"Sit back down and calm down. Forget I was here. Get everyone back in line. That’s an order from Azazel." Eris commanded while Malphas was under her trance.
"Right." Malphas said, sprinting out of the Castle and yelling at the werewolves and demons.
"Hey, you lot! Stop fighting. Get your asses back in line. Training starts back up tomorrow, 8 am! If you’re late, you’re dead!" He shouted.
Eris smiled. "Well, these eyes do have their perks, I suppose."
She teleported back to the realm with Lord X and Hades.
"Well?" Hades demanded.
"In the new prophecy Sora saves the world in the bad version, and in our former good version, well, he kills Azazel and Helen and I get away. Before he has the chance to go berserk, his son kills him." Eris reported matter-of-factly.
"Oh, so no one bothered to tell you they had two more children, did they?" Hades said with a frown.
"It’s a pity how much people hate you Eris. Maybe one day you’ll be good for something. Until then, get your ass back to Limbo with Dionysus and keep recruiting." Hades said, snapping his fingers and the two were gone.
’FUCK. I should have done a better job of prodding about that prophecy. Of course he already knew the answer!’ Eris thought.
"Dionyus, please tell me there’s someone or something to kill down here." she demanded.
"Right this way." Dionysus pointed toward the portal of the Underworld.
Eris grinned. "Fuck playing by his rules."
