Selene was astonished by what she saw before her, she should have been, she had seen a monster that had worried even her to die with just one attack.
After almost ten seconds, the strange energy around Jas dissipated, and he realised that his mind was beginning to blur as he felt his body returning to him.
The only thing he saw in front of him before he passed out with Selene holding him was the ssage sent by the tower [I have completed the deal, young man.]
When he opened his eyes again, he woke up to a very familiar sight.
He seed to have woken up in the room given to him in the Mountain Empire, and he could see his daughter Miracle and his grandmother Ruby sleeping next to him. On the other hand, Sophia was lying on Ruby's stomach and sleeping.
Jas, who looked around after standing on the bed, managed to co to himself with a ssage:
[Do you realise how stupid what you have done?]
The ssage had been sent by Nyx herself. While Jas was thinking about why this ssage was scolding him, he saw a ssage from soone else:
[There are probably only a handful of people in the tower who could summon the tower itself into their bodies, Jas, and yet none of them would do it, in short, their bodies...or rather, their souls couldn't handle it. You are very lucky that Sun Vampire's energy has incredibly strengthened your body and especially your mana heart. Otherwise, you would have died long ago].
After reading this ssage from Chronos, Jas shook his head and replied, "I didn't even know such a thing could happen, but for billions, my life was not a bad change."
He couldn't even imagine how many gods and goddesses he had pissed off with these words, but everyone could see how serious he was by looking at his face. It was as if Jas had given up his own life in their eyes.
[What did you offer the tower?] Nyx asked, and even though Jas couldn't see it, Nyx's face was grim. Continue your journey on empire
"Nothing much, just 100 status points," Jas replied, and with that, Nyx's expression that had just shown bitterness turned to surprise.
Jas shook his head once more at the lack of another ssage and added, "A deal, he offered to help , I accepted, and I swear I didn't lose anything else."
With these words, every god and goddess fell silent and this ti the ssage of Jas' dear wife Nesis was seen:
[I don't care what happened, it's only important that you're okay.]
Jas smiled when he saw this ssage and then said "I love you too, Ne." and got out of bed without waking the others.
When he slled himself, he realised that soone had already washed him and he left the room by putting on so clothes imdiately after going to the toilet.
After only a short ti, he passed through the imperial soldiers and servants who looked at him with astonishnt and ca to the throne hall.
As she entered, she could see that all eyes turned to her.
Selene was surprised that she was still on the 37th floor. He could easily see Selene sitting on the throne. At the foot of the stairs leading to the throne, he could see Ariel with tears in her eyes and Theseus and Perseus standing next to her.
"Hi everyone," Jas said simply and with that, he waved to Ariel and the others, it seed like an awkward mont.
Ariel quickly ran over and gave Jas a deep hug.
"Do you realise that you've been asleep for almost two months?" questioned Ariel and with that Jas beca even more confused.
"Two months?" Jas questioned and put a hand to his head and scratched his head.
"Yes, we were quite worried, Lady Selene and the others said it was fine, but you should have seen Ariel, she was going mad," Theseus said, his happiness evident on his face.
Jas shook his head and hugged Ariel once more and then turned to Selene and said, "I don't rember much of what happened, except for a few things, I think you probably already know."
After Selene nodded in agreent, Jas smiled and after only a few seconds his smile faded.
"How many casualties did we suffer?" Jas asked.
"The Sun Empire suffered a total loss of nearly 24000 soldiers. We lost over 7000 climbers. The White Empire lost close to 17000 and the Mountain Empire lost the most soldiers with 96000. The Church of the Night only lost close to 4,000 because the priests and priestesses were in the background and their knights were generally protecting the anti-black magic priests and priestesses," Cordelia answered.
Hearing these numbers, Jas imdiately realized that they had suffered strangely few casualties.
"Well done. All of you," Jas said suddenly.
Even if he didn't realize it, those words were the very thing that represented the end of the war. Jas was the commander-in-chief, the king and emperor of this war, and the fact that he was saying these words ant that everyone could finally go back to normal, that they could breathe easily.
The war was over.
Everyone took a deep breath and then Jas turned to Ahil on his left and Eve standing next to him.
"I hope your soldiers are happy in the highest echelons of heaven. Forgive ," Jas said, and those words alone were enough to touch everyone's hearts.
Even if she didn't realize it, everything that was going on inside the throne room was being viewed on the 37th floor. Selene had specifically wanted all the peoples to see what was happening for the next plans of the kings, queens, emperors and empresses who had co from the many floors of the throne hall.
This ant that Jas' words were not only seen by a few dozen people in the throne room, but also by billions of people outside.
Even if Jas didn't realize it, hundreds of thousands of people were now enrolled in his [Way to Be a God] ability. Jas may have lost 100 status points, but he was about to win an enormous amount of reward.
"We can't say it doesn't matter, sir, but every single one of them died with the honour of fighting under your command." Ahil said suddenly and Jas turned to Selene sitting on the throne and said, "What do we do now? Have we found any clues?"
When he saw Selene's nod, he said, "At least all those soldiers saved billions and helped us make a sure profit on the side. They were the real heroes," Jas said.
With those words, he let out a deep breath and then a "GROOOWL!!!" sound ca out of his stomach.
Every single person in the throne room could not stop laughing. Even though they had just co out of such a dark ti, they managed to laugh.
"Looks like it's ti for dinner," Selene said, and then she got up from the throne and went down the stairs. After holding Jas, Ariel and Theseus and Perseus with her magic, Selene suddenly left the throne room.
After a short ti, the group had returned to Jas' room, and with the dinner table set, they had obviously managed to eat properly.
With Ruby and Sophia awake, the mood was happier and Miracle, the little girl, continued to sleep.
After almost two hours, Jas looked at Selene sitting across from him and asked, "You've been on this floor for two and a half months, aren't you thinking of going back, my lady?"
There was maybe a second or two between the sadness on Selene's face and her asking, "Do you want to leave?"
"Of course not, I know you are very busy, after all, there is only one Lady of the Moon and her worshippers number in the billions," Jas replied.
Selene smiled and tried very hard not to laugh, though it was obvious that there was nothing wrong with what Jas had said. There were hundreds of thousands of gods and goddesses worshipping Selene on the 150th floor alone, where Olympus and the other high communities were located.
She was indeed a great goddess.
"I'll be back in a while, yes, the longer I stay downstairs the weaker I get," Selene replied, and with that, she smiled and reached for her inventory.
Pulling a bag out of her inventory, Selene handed it to Jas and said, "This is my gift to you, I made it myself, those boots are getting a bit old aren't they?"
Jas shook his head in bewildernt and then, looking intently at Selene, said, "No way!"
He really couldn't believe what he was hearing, the thought that such a thing could happen had never even crossed his mind.
The reality of what was happening right now was so outrageous that if this bag contained what he thought it did, he might even cry with joy.
