Chapter 1985 Investigate Tartarus I

?”I think there is a need to investigate Tartarus.” Adrian stated.

“Are you sure about that? Maybe we should wait for my father before you do something like that.” The God of Rebirth Zagreus stated as he is not a fan of Tartarus.

“If my suspicion is correct then something happened in Tartarus. It is not like the God of Death Hades is receiving constant communication to everything that happens there. Even the Hecatoncheires are not always seeing through every corner of that realm. Something must have slipped inside and was not reported which means it is my job to see it.” Adrian stated.

“You still have to go to the trials of the kings. The starting trial would be five hours from now.” The God of Rebirth Zagreus stated.

“I agree with the prince as well even though I did not think that I will be saying that. It is dangerous for you to go alone in Tartarus as that realm itself is a prison.” Megaera stated.

“If you are worried about me then you should come along then. Do not worry as I will be able to protect both of you. I am the mediator of death which means I have full control of a death realm if I focus my mind to it. Even Tartarus would be smooth sailing… I think.” Adrian stated.

“You really are very convincing. Should we go with him? My father might scold me if we let him go alone.” The God of Rebirth Zagreus stated as he looked at Megaera.

“If the prince is going then I should be going as well but be warned that I have told both of you that this is a bad idea. Will the champion create a portal for us to enter to go to Tartarus?” Megaera stated.

“Why do we need a portal? We have the entrance right here. We need to retrace the steps of the being that went inside.” Adrian stated as he pointed at the pit which made both the God of Rebirth Zagreus and Megaera gulp.

The sudden shock and hesitation could be seen on the faces of the two as they have never been to Tartarus before. Only the God of Death Hades has been to Tartarus before and even he dislikes going there. Adrian looked at them and waited for a few minutes as they seem to be in need of time to prepare mentally.

“I think that is enough time. Let us go!” Adrian stated as he suddenly snapped his fingers which made all of them vanish from their location and reappear at the very center of the pit.

“We are not ready! Megaera hold me!” The God of Rebirth Zagreus stated as he suddenly clung towards Megaera like a scared child even though he has the body of a young adult and the age of over a thousand.

The three of them took no time to descend as Adrian saw that the pulling force of the pit in action. He could not feel this force earlier when it was only him, but he can now see it when he was with the God of Rebirth Zagreus and Megaera. A powerful force could be seen pulling both the God of Rebirth Zagreus and Megaera which Adrian tried to counter but he cannot fully do so. He was able to reduce the pulling force, but he was also caught up in it for trying to help.

All three of them are suddenly descending at twice the speed of the earth’s gravity which to Adrian is very pleasant. This was very easy for Adrian as he is used to this kind of feeling when he falls into traps laid out by Elder Ascalor to prank him. The two gods that he came with are not as they were screaming out their lungs as they descend. The one screaming louder was none other than the God of Rebirth Zagreus.

If the God of Rebirth Zagreus was not screaming loudly then Megaera would have been heard squealing in fear. Adrian thought that this was very weird even for him as gods should not be afraid of something like this. What Adrian does not know is that gods fear the unknown more than mortals. This fear is even intensified to a great degree when they are powerless against it.

“The descend is not that bad but I can feel powerful death energy that would have immediately killed a mortal. How did that mortal end up being able to protect themselves? The pressure and intensity of death energy itself would have killed them before they arrive at the bottom. We have been falling for half an hour already and the bottom could still not be seen.” Adrian stated as he could not see the bottom as only pure darkness that even his eyes cannot pierce through is present. 𝓯𝘦𝘸𝘯𝘰𝓿.𝒸ℴ𝑚

“I think I am fine now.” The God of Rebirth Zagreus stated as he finally stopped screaming as he got used to falling endlessly for minutes.

“Very good, my prince. This will definitely contribute to your growth.” Megaera stated as she praised the God of Rebirth Zagreus to hide her previous reactions.

“If we keep up at this speed, we might not be able to reach the bottom in under four hours. Please get ready as I will speed up our descent since I can still feel the energy of the living. I did not know what that living being used but they were able to reach this depth easily.” Adrian stated.

“Wait!? We can go faster! Wait…ah!” The God of Rebirth Zagreus could only start screaming once again as Adrian increased their speed by tenfold.

Adrian increased the speed of the fall by tenfold easily as he found out that the pit has the same gravitational properties to that of the world of the living. He merely increased the weight of all three of them until they descended with a speed that is tenfold compared to the original. The pitiful screams of the two gods can be heard once again as they just got used to the speed before.

“Demon!” The God of Rebirth Zagreus and Megaera thought as they looked at Adrian, who has a nonchalant expression while descending.

“I wonder what the God of Death Hades is doing. I hope that he is not abusing his power in the mortal realm.” Adrian thought as they descended faster than ever. The screams of his companions fell on deaf ears as he is busy finding out how that living being sneaked inside here.

Meanwhile in the mortal realm,

“Hachoo!” The God of Death Hades suddenly sneezed.

“Oh my! My darling is being changed by the mortal world. I did not think that a god could catch a cold.” The Goddess of Life Persephone stated.

“It is not that I am feeble to catch mortal sickness my love. It must be due to someone missing me as you know that we have a god in our pantheon that can do that as a prank for other gods. Maybe it is our child that misses us and thinks of us. Oh! This is such a delicacy. Are they made of blackberries?” The God of Death Hades stated as he started eating the fruit tart that the Goddess of Life Persephone is feeding him.

“They are made of darkenberries which is locally grown here. Such bounty! As expected from the blessings of the Tree of Life and Death.” The Goddess of Life Persephone stated as she took a bite of the fruit tart as well and felt incredibly refreshed.

The god and goddess made hearts in the air while the elves and even the fruit tart vendor was sweating bullets. They know that the two beings in front of them were gods even if they are hiding their auras. It is only the players that think that they are a loving couple NPC on vacation in Avalon.

“Where are you, Champion Equinox? Please come back quickly!” The elven elders prayed but Adrian cannot hear their prayers since he is not a god.

Meanwhile, Adrian has finally arrived at Tartarus, and it was burning and desolate as he remembered. The three rivers of the underworld could be seen flowing to Tartarus as well since Charon needs to deliver souls here as well, but they should never be drunk upon. One would never know what side-effect they might get if they dive or drink from one of the rivers in the underworld.

“You can stop screaming now. We are here.” Adrian stated as he made sure to stop their descend when they were about to hit the ground.

“Ehem. I was just warming up my lungs just in case I need to recite spells.” The God of Rebirth Zagreus stated.

“Follow me as the trace of the living is starting to wane. We should be fast before I no longer have it locked on.” Adrian stated as he started to fly towards the direction of a large volcano.
