NOVEL NEXT chapter 301 - Revenge?
-Olympus, a few moments before Taufik returned.
Zeus sitting on his throne from the highest place on Mount Olympus while watching the Earth and the gods of Olympus, looks bored.
After Gaia, who was believed to have been 'sealed' and Aksara, who was a direct descendant of Gaia and had almost the same position as Gaia, was sent somewhere, Earth was left without the 'supervision' of the Aboriginal Being.
Making Zeus, who is the King of the Gods and the God of the Sky, able to easily 'take over' the Earth that had no 'owner', so since Gaia was 'sealed' and Aksara was nowhere to be found, Zeus acted as the Aboriginal Being, or so he believed.
Zeus, who looked bored just watching Olympus and Earth, suddenly felt someone's presence.
But without having to look away, Zeus could already tell who had come.
"... Habe, What brings you here?"
"... Father, I came to bring you Ambrosia"
"Hm, You can put it there and you can go"
Hearing Zeus' words, Habe looked at the place where he usually placed the teapot containing ambrosia, there were only a few golden teapots containing ambrosia that had only decreased slightly.
Seeing this, Habe felt worried, she then dared to tell Zeus.
"... Father, don't you want to take a break? It's been hundreds of years since you've been watching over Earth and Olympus... Do-"
"Habe, Just put the kettle there and you can go"
"But, Father... Are you still waiting for that man to-"
"Habe! Don't make me say the same thing a third time! Do you hear me?"
Said Zeus, this time looking at Habe; seeing this, Habe flinched and then fell silent; not long after that, Habe bowed his head while saying.
"... I Understand, Fa- O King of the Gods"
After that, Habe then put the teapot containing the ambrosia in the place where he had put it and immediately left after speaking to Zeus again.
"... Then I'll take my leave"
Zeus didn't answer anything and Habe didn't say anything anymore and immediately left, leaving Zeus alone again.
This was not the first time Habe reminded Zeus to take a rest, not only her, Hera and several other Olympus Gods had also remind Zeus several times to take a rest but Zeus never paid any attention to it, even for several hundred years that had passed, Zeus had never done anything other than watching over Earth and Olympus, even Zeus had never done the activities he really liked anymore like going to chase women or other things.
He just sits on his throne all day long and never moves at all, he will only move if it is something very urgent and there is a situation that requires his presence, but after completing that, Zeus will return to the throne and do the same thing over and over again.
'... Rest? I will never rest if I haven't vented this grudge; even if I rest, it will never be a peaceful rest because the memories of that time will definitely repeat themselves, over and over again, spinning in my head; I have never felt so humiliated to this extent... I will only be able to rest in peace if this grudge has been vented'
Zeus said inwardly while continuing to watch over the earth.
A few moments later, Zeus suddenly felt a change from the earth, Zeus felt like the earth was happily welcoming someone's arrival.
'... What? What happens? This has never happened before'
Zeus said once more, and then with the Sky, Zeus looked around every corner of the Earth, looking for the reason why the Earth felt a little different.
From west to east and south to north, nothing escaped Zeus's gaze, and not long after that, Zeus' inner eye stopped in a forest, seeing the scene that occurred in the middle of the forest, both corners of Zeus' mouth rose.
"AHAHAHA!! HE'S FINALLY HERE, WITH THIS, I WILL SOON RETURN THIS HUNDRED YEARS OF REVENGE"
Zeus' laughter echoed until it was heard by all the gods in Olympus at that time; the sky turned gray and then black, and lightning fell everywhere until Olympus shook.
Zeus then held his staff and then stood up from his chair.
But before he could go far, a black Mist appeared and from it, Hades came out.
"... Where are you Going, Brother?"
"Since when do you care about where I am going, Hades?"
"Just now"
Hearing Hades' answer, Zeus then looked at Hades with a cynical look. Then said.
"... You're not thinking of stopping me, are you?"
"... If your goal is the same as what I have in mind, then yes, I will stop you... Zeus"
Hades answered with the same look Zeus gave him.
"You... Who are you? I don't remember my brother being like this... What that Man said to you that made you become like this? What did he promise you?"
"... He didn't promise me anything other than the promise to free you in exchange for not offending him for two years"
"And those two years have passed, Hades... What are you afraid of?"
"... Those two years have indeed passed a very long time ago and that promise has long since expired... But-"
"... THEN WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? THAT MAN? SINCE WHEN DID YOU BECOME THIS COWARD, HADES?"
Zeus said, raising his voice, but that still didn't make Hades budge.
"... That's my question, Zeus... Since when did you become this reckless?... Have you forgotten why we are still on Earth today, even when the Earth is sealed from the inside?"
Said Hades, who then paused for a moment before continuing, but this time, Hades also raised his voice to match Zeus.
"... HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHY ALL OF THIS HAPPENED?!! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT W- YOU SACRIFICED FOR ALL OF THIS?!! IT WAS OUR FREEDOM, ZEUS, IT'S OUR FREEDOM!! AND WHY DID ALL OF THIS HAPPEN?! IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID DESIRE FOR REVENGE!!... YOU ONCE AGAIN MADE A PROMISE WITH THAT 'BEING'!... IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE PROMISE YOU MADE WOULD ONLY 'INVOLVE' YOU AND YOU ALONE, BUT LOOK AT THIS, ZEUS!! LOOK AT IT NOW!! YOU DIDN'T JUST TAKE OUR FREEDOM!! BUT YOU EVEN MADE MOTHER GAIA A VICTIM ONCE AGAIN!! WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF SHAME, HUH?!!.... THE LONGER YOU GO ON, THE MORE AND MORE YOU LOOK LIKE HIM!! LIKE THAT CRONUS THAT YOU HATE SO MUCH!! BUT WITHOUT YOU REALIZED IT, YOU ARE SLOWLY BECOME HIM! AWAKE BEFORE IT TOO LATE, ZEUS!! OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!"
*BOOM!*
Zeus then forcefully stomped the tip of his staff on the floor so hard that the entire Olympus shook again.
"HADES!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO COMPARE ME TO THAT BASTARD!! AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY FEELING?!! YOU WERE NOT THERE AT THAT TIME; YOU DIDN'T FEEL THE SAME INSULT AS I DID; WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO STOP ME? I AM THE KING OF THE GODS?!!" Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire
After Zeus said that, a powerful, oppressive aura came out from Zeus' body; it was so strong that it was felt throughout Olympus, causing the less powerful Olympus Gods to fall to their knees due to the pressure from Zeus.
And as if not wanting to lose, Hades also gave off the same oppressive aura.
The clash of the oppressive auras of the two strongest Olympus Gods caused a very strong impact, Olympus shook so hard that it felt like Olympus itself was going to collapse.
This also affects the earth by causing sudden extreme weather changes, lightning storms striking even though the sky is clear, small to medium-scale earthquakes occurring, and causing long-dormant volcanoes to erupt again.
But fortunately, with Humans having access to Mana, there were no fatalities, although some were injured.
"... Zeus, you won't like what comes next, if you're going to act, you better know what the consequences are, If you set foot on earth now, it's the same as breaking your promise to HIM, and that's something we all don't want to happen, you better think before you act... If you still want to do it, then don't blame me if I have to stop you with all my strength"
Hearing what Hades said, Zeus looked hesitant for a moment, a battle between him and Hades was something he wanted to avoid as much as possible, they were both brothers, and although Zeus was often considered the most powerful, but in terms of strength, he, Hades and Poseidon could be said to be equal and influenced each other.
Seeing the hesitation in Zeus, Hades didn't want to let this opportunity slip away, so he spoke.
"... You can continue your role as an 'Aboriginal Being' as long as you like until the time comes, but for now, be patient; that's all you need to d-"
"and why if I also want to do the same, Hades, what will you do? Are you sure you can stop both of us?"
Said someone who had just joined Zeus and Hades' 'conversation', hearing this, Zeus and Hades turned to the source of the voice.
There, they both saw Poseidon standing while looking at them both, however, this time Poseidon did not look like the usual Poseidon because Poseidon currently looked like someone who had not slept for several days which looked a little strange because the gods actually did not really need to sleep, his appearance was a little messy like someone who had a lot on their mind.
"... Poseidon, you too?"
