Chapter 1991: Sneaking Inside Olympus
"I have completed the task of getting the item to sneak inside of Olympus." Adrian stated.
"If you are ready, make sure to touch my branch. I will easily send you towards the entrance to where Olympus is currently being hidden. The entrance that you will enter is not the front door but a back door which is why you will not be able to control where you go inside of there." The Tree of Life and Death stated.
"I am ready." Adrian stated as he touched the vine that was extended by the Tree of Life and Death.
Adrian suddenly felt his entire body turn into energy as he got sucked inside of the Tree of Life and Death. He then felt a sudden rush that made him sire that he is now traveling via the ley lines. He feels a vast amount of life energy from all around him and he felt that he was part of this energy himself.
"Sooo refreshing!" Adrian stated as he felt pure energy rush his body, but the voice of the Tree of Life and Death snapped him from his state.
"Focus, Equinox. If you do not focus, then the energy of the ley lines will devour you in your entirety. You will become part of the vast energy that this world is currently cultivating." The Tree of Life and Death telepathically stated towards Adrian which made him snap out of his trance.
Adrian made sure to not focus on the pleasing wave of energy but with his current task. He just hopes that the Helm of Darkness would indeed shroud him from the eyes of the gods. Adrian finally felt an expelling force around him as he materialized in a place where there was an incredibly tall mountain covered in storm clouds.
"The entrance to Olympus will be in that ridge there. I believe that you know what to do as you are a demon." The voice of the Tree of Life and Death stated as it trailed off and vanished.
"Thank you." Adrian replied as he can see what the Tree of Life and Death was talking about.
Inside the ridge, there was a place where there is a small opening that leads to another dimension. Adrian was told that Olympus is not like normal divine realms as it is part of the real world as well. It was currently restricted before when the world itself was weak, but it can now fully connect to the world due to having higher energy levels. Adrian also knows of another dimension like Olympus and that is Asgard.
A God King is not a normal god as they can declare their territory in the mortal plane which makes it possible for gods to manifest in that plane. There would still be restrictions if they are out of that place, but the gods would be incredibly powerful in that kind of divine realm. Adrian would need to be careful as he would be in a place where gods can exert their full power.
[You found a small hole that leads to Olympus.]
[The Helm of Darkness is reacting to the divine realm. Do you wish to put it on now?]
[The Helm of Darkness will only be able to use inside of Olympus. It will disappear after one use as is your covenant with the God of Death Hades.]
"Let us go then." Adrian stated as the Helm of Darkness suddenly appeared on his head while he got sucked inside of the portal.
The next thing that Adrian felt is that he is in a pure form of darkness that made him feel like he was in the presence of another goddess. Adrian could clearly feel the energy of the Goddess of Darkness Nox from the Helm of Darkness, but he dismissed that as he was mesmerized by the sight. He was directly sent to the top of a roof inside one of the golden buildings in Olympus.
Adrian cannot believe what he sees as all the buildings were made of gold or white gold. The fountains were made of silver while the pillars looked like they were made of ivory. The entirety of Olympus is indeed a place full of beauty and riches.
Adrian could clearly see that it was not just gods that are here in Olympus as there were beings that can be called as nymphs. There is even a bipedal goat man that are called Satyrs that roam here. Even centaurs can be seen roaming the wide ivory roads here in Olympus. Adrian looked around to see if anyone could see him but there was none.
"I can feel the presence of numerous lesser gods here. Even some demigods could be felt but they are not great in number. With this, I can now say that the Helm of Darkness does indeed obscure me even from the sight of the gods. Still, I do not know how long this would last which is why I must make sure to hurry up." Adrian thought as he floated towards the location of the energy of space he sensed inside of Olympus.
Adrian did not use his wings in fear that his presence be easily seen. Even if he has the Helm of Darkness, it does not mean that he has full control of its abilities. In fact, he can only use the most basic ability of the Helm of Darkness which is 'I am Darkness'. It is an ability that turns him into any form of darkness to vanish from the world that he is currently in.
Fortunately for Adrian, Olympus has many buildings that cast shadows which makes easy for Adrian to traverse. The ability also allows him to transfer to any form of darkness in a ten-
meter radius without consuming mana. He cannot believe that a holy relic could give him such a busted ability.
"Should I swipe more things? I can sense some interesting things that have cool energies." Adrian thought as he tilted his head to the right as he can feel powerful items stored there.
"I do not have the luxury to do so. The quest is what is important. I need that Shard of Chaos." Adrian thought has he became more eager to get the Head of Janus.
Adrian managed to climb to the destination with only the thought of getting the Head of Janus. He did not see that he actually passed by the residences of the most powerful gods that reside in Olympus. The gods did not notice him as well because of the protection from the Helm of Darkness which was granted by the Goddess of Darkness Nox. The power to blend in any surrounding with darkness as if you are the darkness itself.
Even the proud Goddess Hera could not detect Adrian as he invaded their home. In fact, only one goddess out of all the gods that reside in Olympus could detect Adrian if she focused. That specific goddess would not be able to see Adrian without the special flames located at the center of Olympus. This means that Adrian would never be seen as he sneaked inside Olympus.
"I have told you, husband. Do not mess with the mediator! Your brother has already warned you that further meddling will gain the ire of the Daemos." A female voice could be heard as Adrian moved closer to the location where he can feel the spatial energy.
"I do not know what you mean, my wife. I am just exercising my right as the God King!" A robust looking man stated as thunder and lightning could be heard and seen.
"Remember, my husband. I may have made a vow to never hurt you but do not think for a second that the bastards that you have sired would escape my punishments!" The voice of the goddess could be seen.
"Do you think that I care for the bastards that do not show promise?! Kill them if it can relieve your anger of me but never tell me what I need to do." The voice of the robust man stated.
"Do you not feel the repercussions of using that relic!? The space that shields Olympus has started to get distorted! Remember that there are no Gods of Space that can help us as they were either killed or sealed! Even the Head of Janus would not be able to fix the damage that you have done! Monsters would randomly enter our home!" The goddess stated.
"I shall cease use of the Head of Janus for a week so that the barrier can be fixed. Hephaestus can fix the barrier using his inventions. I will personally go and ask for his aide in order to fix the holes in the barrier." The god stated.
"If that is what you will do then I will no longer stand in ceremony with you. Remember that you are a king, husband. Anything that you do will reflect not only for you but also to all of the members of our family." The goddess stated.
