Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 233 Aftermath 5/7

Somewhere in the Dimensional Gap, a black sphere is floating silently. Inside it is two figures sitting on each end of the table with only a single candle stand on the center. The first figure is a tall skeleton dressed in attire worn by high priests, gives off a creepy aura. Despite having no eyes, his eye sockets can glow to give the appearance of eyes. The second one is a man dressed in black cloak hiding most of his features.

Hades, the tall skeleton spoke, “You heard the news?”

“I did, and it’s surprising… But this is still within our predicted outcome. It’s a lot better for us that he came out now. Although, it’s a shame that we lost Kokabiel before he matured.” The man in the cloak started tapping his fingers on the table.

“Hmm? What’s wrong? Something bothering you?” Ignoring Kokabiel’s death, Hades conjured a wine for himself and started drinking it.

“You have not heard the rumors?” The cloaked man looked at him in surprise.

“What rumors? I’m in my laboratory as of late to complete that ‘that’, and I’ve only come out now to meet you.” It’s Hades’ turn to be confused. He doubts that any rumor would bother him but observing the other party’s reaction, it’s a fairly serious rumor.

The cloaked man wanted to ask about the status of ‘that’ but chose to answer Hades’ question first, “Athena locked herself in her private quarters.”

“Knowing her, that’s indeed strange, but to confirm that as a rumor should be easy and it isn’t such a big deal.”

“That part is not a rumor as I personally confirmed that it’s true. What I can’t confirm is that before she locked herself up, someone, I don’t know if it’s a fellow God or a servant, noticed her injured… almost fatally even.”

“…Didn’t Zeus try to confirm this? Her precious daughter being injured, it’s impossible for him to not act.” Hades became serious after hearing that Athena got injured, ‘That little girl? Only a few people can do that…’

“He did enter her room with his authority, but he also came out soon after without any changes and never been back since then. He also isn’t taking any strange action and just goes on with his original duties.”

“Then the chances of that rumor being true is almost none. We know Zeus. If someone were to hurt her precious daughter, he wouldn’t take it silently. But then again, Athena locking herself up is a strange point.”

“Right, so I investigate her recent actions.” The cloaked man then stood up and paced around, “It seems that she went to do her usual duty of sealing Medusa.”

Hades stared at the man silently before saying, “And it failed… If that’s what you’re trying to say.”

“Yes. I’ll skip to the results as there isn’t much story either. First, the Perseus Clan, which is overseeing Medusa for countless generations were almost annihilated. The only ones remaining were one current leader, two of the direct descendants and a quarter of their original forces.

“Their strongest forces were killed in the separate space were Athena descended, but most people were killed in the Perseus Clan’s own bases. According to the reports that I received, the survivors said that it was Teny trying to raise a coup killing her own father in the process and stealing the bronze shield.”

“Teny? How come that name sounds familiar?” Hades asked.

“It’s the twin sister of Elexa and the one hiding to provide us information from the Human World. In some instances, she also reports Athena’s movements to me.”

“Oh right, the crazy little human,” Hades remembered the Teny, but not due to her achievements, but because of her crazy little head, “What else?”

“Another piece of information I received is Medusa disappeared.” The cloaked man sat back down and watches Hades’ reaction. He can see the blue flames that are serving as his eyes were fluctuating.

Hades first grabbed something under his cloak and sent his Divinity to it. A few seconds later, it responded, “Hmm?… I can’t track her?”

“…Did she die or did she escape?” Hades became troubled after figuring that he can’t track Medusa’s position, ‘Why now of all times? I manage to complete ‘that’ so this time, I wanted to take hold of her for my research… It’s impossible for her to escape or die on her own… Athena? Did she finally found a way to kill her? No… Even with the chains’ help, it currently impossible for her. The most she can do is push her soul to an almost completely corrupt level. And Athena might think that she was able to kill her but I’m responsible for a small amount of corruption of Medusa’s soul so even after killing her ‘completely’ she would secretly come to my side. As for escaping… That’s even more impossible… at least from my knowledge.’

“That’s unknown. I also tried searching for her soul but I failed. Only Athena should know of her fate since she should be near her before her apparent disappearance.”

“…How troublesome… The possibility of something lurking that could threaten us without our knowledge became apparent. We should be more careful.” Hades and the man in cloak didn’t connect Kisuke to this incident because they knew how powerful Athena is and the seal on Medusa. Based on their assumptions, Kisuke’s power is only at the Satan-Class at most, but that itself is already surprising, “By the way, what happened to your prophecies that we would fail?”

“It’s already gone. That means our actions are correct. We also targeted the correct person. It seems that the poison you’re making is so potent that it can even bend fate. No one should be immune with that crazy thing you made and the only question is the doses.” The man in cloak chuckled. Ever since he stopped seeing their future becoming a failure due to a single human, he became more cheerful.

“Fafafa! Of course! I had a hard time mixing all those volatile things before I can complete it. Although I only have a few drops of it, I still consider it as my trump card.”

“So? When are you going to make a move? We can’t keep this long unless you want a change in my prophecy.”

“It seems that big crow Azazel is cooking something up. I’d like to see it first before I deal with that human.”

“Great. I’ll be waiting for your result. And while we are at it, I’ll also deal with Zeus and investigate more about Medusa’s disappearance. It’ll be too much of a shame if she really is killed.”

Hades only chuckled before teleporting away. The man in cloak also teleported away after seeing him leave.

Little they did know, however, Kisuke went off their radar. Due to his involvement with the delinquent dragon and loli dragon who’s always out for his snacks, these two transcendent beings, Kisuke’s fate, including those around him became muddled to the point that any prophecy regarding them became obsolete.
