Chapter 328 - Kosmos: Hades Confronts Zeus! Let Her Be, Old Man!
-----
Zeus heard the words that Nyx said, and was shaken!
"It can't be…!" said Aphrodite.
"Another… world entity? So Nyx did it even when you told her not to!" said Athena.
"What?! What is wrong with that stupid woman?! How could she bring a dangerous alien here?!" roared Hephaestus.
"This might be why I felt like that ghost thing was so strange, the compositions of its existence are not even from this world…" said Apollo.
"Nyx had gone completely mad, father!" said Ares.
Zeus was shaking in anger, as his entire throne began to glow with the immense Divine he held!
"Zeus, calm down!" cried Heras, Zeus' wife at his side.
"How can it be?! I told that woman to not bring any alien here! I told her that they could not possibly be a good thing! I told her that it would bring more and even more chaos to this world! She did not hear me! And by announcing this entity's identity… she is pretty much insulting me! Nyx, you mad goddess!" roared Zeus, his entire body was shrouded in Divine Thunder as he darted out of the Olympus, descending to the earthen plane like a gigantic golden thunder!
CLASH!
The entire sky over the Nation of the Night was suddenly filled with clouds, as thunder crackled everywhere!
Crack, crack!
An enormous entity emerged, a being shrouded in thunder, the father of gods, the King of Gods, and the one that governed the Sky, Zeus!
"NYX! Move away from that being! I shall exterminate it!!!" he roared, descending to the earth!
"No way…" muttered Veronica.
"Zeus! You actually descended?! Stop at once! You're going to damage my people!" said Nyx, as she began to release the eternal darkness of night around her, generating a gigantic barrier that protected Veronica and her people down below!
"What's happening out there?!"
"Is that?!"
"It can't be…!"
"The King of Gods, Zeus-sama!"
"Zeus-sama! Here?! Why?!"
"He's roaring in maddening rage, he is enraged with our Goddess!"
"What will that tyrant do to Nyx-sama?!"
The people glanced at Zeus with immense fear, he was the King of Gods and perhaps one of the strongest…
However, aside from his reputation and authority, he also had another reputation, that of the killer of Echidna and Typhoon!
Many of the citizens of the Nation of the Ni×ght were the descendants of these Divine Monsters born from Gaia, and felt an instinctive fear to him and his deadly thunder!
"Nyx, you have crossed the line! You should have never tried to defy me, foolish woman!" roared Zeus.
"Who are you calling foolish woman, immature youngling?! I am the Night! I have existed for more than ten times your age, how dare you call me like that?!" roared Nyx!
She was not letting Zeus badmouth her, she was going to fight back, even if it meant that she could get her message through his stupid and conservative head!
"Nyx, please don't start a fight, this is already pretty bad already!" said Veronica.
"But Veronica, I have to let him know about you, and about this world, which is nearing its slow end! Zeus, you foolish youngling, wake up from your pride!" roared Nyx.
"Silence! Enough! I am the King of Gods! I possess part of the power of Uranus and all of Cronus… Nyx, I can end you if I want to! I have been trying to convince you, to tell you that things couldn't be as your delusional mind thinks they are, I have been very patient with you… But you seem to never understand! Do you want me to seal you and to give your Divinity to someone else, someone more diligent and less mad?!" roared Zeus, pointing his Divine Thunder against the Night itself, Nyx!
Nyx gnashed her teeth in anger, she had enough of this man!
She began to gather an enormous amount of darkness all around herself, showing countless stars inside and enough power to blow an entire nation away!
Veronica wanted to do something, but she really could not!
"If you are going to get in the way, then I will have to act! Don't say that I didn't warn you!" roared Zeus.
"Then come at me, I am not going to lose to an impotent idiot!" roared Nyx, getting into Zeus' nerves even more!
"YOU…!" roared Zeus, as he gathered a gigantic amount of Divine Thunder, pointing it at Nyx at last!
However, just before Lightning and Darkness could clash, the voice of someone familiar to these two Gods resonated through the entire Nation!
"That's enough, Zeus, Nyx,"
BOOM!
Suddenly, a gigantic door made entirely out of bones and blazing with blue flames emerged from the ground, opening, and revealing the underworld from within!
And from that door, the beautiful figure of a woman emerged!
Her skin was pale blue and filled with tattoos, and her eyes glowed with a crimson light alongside her long and silky black hair, she wore beautiful black robes with gothic decorations, and her crown was made out of bones and covered in blue flames, her hips were wide and sexy, and her breasts big and bouncy.
She glanced at the two gods with a confident smile as if she had taken ahold of this situation!
"Hades!" said Veronica, immediately recognizing her.
"Well, well, long time no see, Veronica! So you've been hiding within Nyx's shirt this whole time?" asked Hades teasingly.
"Hades, sister, what are you doing here? Let me exterminate this alien and teach Nyx a lesson!" said Zeus.
"Hades… you…" muttered Nyx.
"Hm, I've come to make this stop, alright? I govern Death and the Underworld, Zeus, you can't possibly fight against me without having your soul slowly torn apart, drop this or you're getting a beating," said Hades.
"Gah…! Hades, what is the meaning of that threat?! Do you… possibly accept this alien existence in our world?! She will only bring destruction and misfortune, just like the System Master and these damned Dungeons!" roared Zeus in anger.
"Yeah, I do! I know very well that this world is slowly coming to an end… I live in the damn underworld, and the Origin Core is exactly right at my side, idiot! I can clearly see that it is gathering a crap ton of energy for some strange reason, and you still believe that things will get better by just making a few Champions do the work for you!?" asked Hades.
"That's… you're lying!" said Zeus in denial.
"Stop denying the truth! And you call yourself the King of Gods?!" roared Nyx in anger.
"Veronica here is the bridge to this communication and alliance we need to save our world. You can't let her die here in vain, she is the opportunity we had been waiting for to finally find a path towards a future where not everything is just destroyed!" said Hades.
"But…! An alien is not part of this world, she will only bring disorder and chaos! The order of the world must be maintained, Hades!" roared Zeus.
"But what world will there be for you to maintain order if it ends?!" roared Veronica, as she couldn't help but speak!
"Eh? You alien!" roared Zeus, pointing his thunder towards her as Hades protected her with her blue flames.
"She's right! There will not be a world for you to protect and keep in order if everything ends, Zeus, how hard is that to imagine and comprehend in your little head?!" asked Hades.
"That's… I just… Do not want… more suffering! All of this world is already crumbling into pieces, how can we truly trust another world's entities, the first one already did all of this!" said Zeus.
"But there is no other option than doing so, we have to bet on it!" said Nyx.
"I don't like betting!" said Zeus.
"Zeus, this world is going to be harvested if you don't do anything! Champions can only get you as far, but the World's Origin Core will eventually be filled with so much energy due to this System that it will most likely burst, becoming a time bomb for Kosmos to end!" said Hades.
"This is why we need Veronica to use her abilities to take over the Dungeons and the monsters that represent them, grow stronger, and slowly erode this System with her own unique abilities. After that, she will then contact her original world, and bring her allies to aid us!" said Nyx.
"I don't like how that sounds! It sounds horrible! And how are you even planning for a single alien to do such a task?!" asked Zeus.
"Well, let me explain. The power within my Soul is named Samsara System, and it helps me absorb and transform energies, similarly to this System! Wait, do not point your thunder towards me! Let me continue! …Anyways, by using this System, I can gather the harvested energy from the Origin Core and even assimilate the System in here slowly! We had already tried it with Nyx, and it worked! But I need to grow stronger too, and make more Connections with the Power Sources of this world, the Dungeons!" said Veronica.
"What do you mean, what you talk about is way too complex!" said Zeus.
"In resume, Veronica will use her powers to take ahold of this System and the excess energy, redirect it to another area of this world or even the gods themselves, and not make the Origin Core overload with it, so the System Master can not come to harvest it! With this, she can even delay the world's destruction, and the System Master will not come here if the world is not ripe. Thing is, she needs to grow stronger for her task to become smoother, and by taking over the Dungeons, she can do this while also establishing a greater connection with the fluctuations of energy in the world!" said Nyx.
"That's… I think I understood it a bit… But still, is not all of that just theory, there is no confirmation of that being actually possible!" said Zeus.
"We'll make it possible, Zeus!" said Nyx.
"If we unify as we once did against the Titans…!" said Hades.
"I cannot simply accept this before your Champion shows its worth! I shall see as she tries to clear these dungeons, if she really is as promising as you say, she will surely clear them, right?" asked Zeus.
"Of course!" said Nyx.
"If what you want to see is her power, then sit tight and see her, I am sure that you will be surprised about her potential," said Hades.
"I can't help but think that there might be… a way. Seeing my sister so confident about this alien… Hm, very well, but the moment she fails, I will not be responsible for what happens to her!" said Zeus, flying away…
All of the people in the Nation of Night glanced and heard this whole conversation between Gods, also understanding all of Nyx's intention and Hades' backing.
"Phew… It somehow worked out…" sighed Hades.
