Chapter 1978: I Need to go to Olympus
[The Supernatural Storm has been completely defeated.]
[All rewards have been distributed for the players that helped the territory lord in defending Avalon.]
[You have successfully defended Avalon against an A level threat.]
[The territory, Avalon, will have increased 10% productivity for about a month.]
[There is an extremely small chance that something wonderful might happen in the territory.]
[The people of the territory have felt peace of mind since the Supernatural Storm was defeated. All beings in the territory will have an increased chance of fertility.]
[The residents of Avalon praise the territory lord for his splendid valor in protecting the people and the territory.]
Adrian smiled upon seeing the notification as he can finally say that the disaster has been averted. All of the people that evacuated in the pocket dimension have come out to see the result of the damages in the territory. Fortunately, the damage was minimal as only a few trees toppled down, and a few stalls were destroyed but no one died.
[The Territory Lord of Avalon, Equinox, has lowered the taxes by half for a month in order for those that need to recover.]
Adrian's act of lowering the tax made all the people cheer which includes the NPCs and players alike. Adrian did not have high tax rates to begin with but lowering it for a month to alleviate the damage seemed to be the best for him. What he did not know is that was the start of the epic war of goods that sparked something like the crazy black Friday sale in the real world.
Adrian told the elders to monitor the overall recovery of the damaged territory. He even game them the budget for the recovery as he needed to do something else. Adrian not only received a small divine fragment and absorbed it, but he also got some memories with it.
"Now, it is time for me to think of more pressing issues." Adrian stated as his face became dark because he was able to find fragments of memories in the divine fragment that he was able to absorb.
Adrian went towards the Tree of Life and Death and resummoned his soulbounds as they also deserve a rest. Once he is satisfied that his soulbounds did not get any adverse effects from him fusing with them and going through the limit, Adrian told them to do anything that they want. Adrian sat cross legged as he touched the tree of life and death because he needed to speak with it.
Adrian opened his eyes, but it was all white and his vision is not of the tree in front of him but a being that is a humanoid version of the Tree of Life and Death. Adrian bowed with courtesy and Yewdrassil did as well. It has been some time since Yewdrassil has picked out a humanoid form as conversing with Adrian in this form was more convenient.
"Why is the Champion of the Twin Gods here in my own subspace? Do you wish to speak to me about something?" Yewdrassil asked.
"I want to know where Mount Olympus is located." Adrian stated.
"Do you have a death wish now, Champion Equinox? You do know that God Kings have the power to destroy even the source of your very soul." Yewdrassil stated.
"I need to go to Mount Olympus because one of the Fragments of Chaos is there. I need to retrieve it or else something bad might happen if it falls unto the wrong hands." Adrian stated as he saw the memories attached to the divine fragment.
Adrian was able to clearly see everything that happened or at least everything that happened that he was involved with. He saw the God King Zeus hold the head of a god that has long perished. It was the head of the God of Transitions Janus. The Head of the God of Transitions Janus has become a relic to interfere with the balance of time and space.
The God of Transitions Janus died during the war with the dark gods, but his head could still be used to easily bypass the law of time and space. The God of Transitions Janus was a greater god that could manipulate both time and space which was incredibly rare. He might not have been the most proficient in combat but his power over time and space is slightly above a Noblesse level Daemos.
One thing about the God of Transitions Janus is that he was actually a being created by Chaos and entrusted a fragment of its body. The God of Transitions Janus might have died but the Fragment of Chaos still lives on in his head that the God King Zeus uses like a toy. Adrian is afraid that the head of God of Transitions Janus would explode and reveal the Fragment of Chaos. The worst ending being it opening a rift directly towards the Void.
Adrian did not need to explain everything to Yewdrassil as it could easily read his mind. Upon learning of such a thing, even Yewdrassil could not fathom what to do next. The Tree of Life and Death is like the parent of the God of Death Abaddon and the Goddess of Life Gaea. The other gods that fall under their genealogy could be said to be like grandchildren to it even if some deserve to rot in the gutter.
"Mount Olympus is not like any other divine realm that one can easily traverse in. Almost everything inside of it is monitored by the God King that holds absolute power over it. Do you not know why the God of Death Hades would rather stay in his own death realm?" Yewdrassil stated.
"I thought he just likes the peace and quiet because his family that lives there is not really peaceful. Even I do not want to get caught up in that drama. You know... I only got like a week's worth of memory from that divine fragment and even I am already tired of it." Adrian stated as he was able to see other memories despite it not being that vivid.
"Do not get me started. The Titans were much easier to deal with compared to those man childs." Yewdrassil agreed as it might have some experience.
"So... are you not going to help me? This is a fragment related to Chaos after all." Adrian stated.
"It seems that you have already learned of Chaos. Still, it is too early for you to face them. You are but a mere speck of dust should you go in their divine realm. Gods are more powerful in their divine realm than in the mortal realm." Yewdrassil stated.
"Is there no way for me to evade the eyes of the spoiled God King?" Adrian asked.
"I might be able to show you the way, but I will not be able to help you in that regard. Only other gods of Olympus might know how to become stealthy inside of their own divine realm. Fortunately, you have acquaintances that are from Olympus. You just need to ask them yourself on how to get inside. Once you have a way to sneak inside without getting caught, I shall make sure that you will arrive in Olympus." Yewdrassil stated.
"Thank you." Adrian stated as he returned his subconscious back to his body with a loud gasp.
Adrian checked his body to make sure that he can still move it. He would feel incredibly sluggish sometimes when he does that. Sending his subconscious inside of another being is like sending his soul inside as well. At the very least, Yewdrassil has promised him passage to Olympus once he finds a way to go inside undetected.
Adrian vanished from his location as he went to the death realm Hades to meet the god that might be able to help him. Adrian appeared in the gates of Hades where the souls of the dead are forming a line. Upon seeing Adrian's form, all of the souls made sure to get some distance from him. The energy that Adrian was radiating made the souls of the dead tremble.
A three headed dog suddenly came up to Adrian as the Guardian of Hades sensed something happening. Adrian saw Cerberus and petted the Guardian of Hades. He even gave each head a snack which is made from the meat of a Cockatrice. Each of the heads licked Adrian as they were delighted with the treat, but he was now smalling like underworld dog saliva.
"Calm down there, boy. I need to talk to your master. Do you think that you can get someone that can guide me there?" Adrian asked and Cerberus happily complied. Cerberus dashed towards the large gates and appeared with a being that made all the souls tremble in fear.
"Greetings, Champion Equinox. I am Megaera. I shall be the one to lead you to the abode of the God of Death Hades." Megaera stated as she bowed with grace and beauty.
