Ch. 153: What Do You Think Makes A God? (1)
Quite sotis had passed since the incident at since the incident at was Aphrodite's. The appearance of Pandora though rather unexpected was not problematic for , rather it helped understand a more crucial detail— Pandora had an agenda with so sense to it.
Stay tuned to empire
I wasn't a detective so I did not have to bother myself with so much detail, rather I would leave it to the real expert.
"So what was she like?" Talos asked as she worked on her laptop— her inseperable companion.
I slipped into the chair across the room and said. "There was a lot of malicious energy around her. I can't quite place my hands on it though."
After what happened at Aphrodite's I decided it would not be appropriate to take Artemis to a hospital since Pandora would be able to find her if she wanted, she did approach without realising.
Another reason why I brought her here was because I noticed the dical equipnts Hephaestus had on my last travel here leading to the assumption that he was versed in the art of dicine.
Boy was I wrong, in truth the real dical expert was Talos.
"You never told you were a doctor, I'm hurt." I said with a smile as I watched her work.
She barely raised her eye as she shot a warning glance. "You never asked, and I am not a doctor or a scientist. I rely dabbled in it to kill ti."
I could not help but smile. "Kill ti my ass. You know you have the weirdest hobbies I have ever seen."
Talos had that look in her eye, one that seed distant but unlike before when it seed like she was pushing everyone away this ti it felt like she was just being cautious. But I could also be wrong here.
"Do you think this is the ti to sit down casually, laying on your butt when you have a job to do!" She said with a scowl.
I did not know if she was being serious now or just trying to force to do my job? "Which is?"
She stopped typing for the first ti and glared at with eyes that threatened to eat out. "Let get this straight you were a human who got reborn in the body of one of the most strongest beings in this world. On arrival you made a lot of screw ups and now that you seem to be getting back on track you seem awfully overconfident which is very unlike you. Even if you are stronger do you think you can stop this calamity?"
I said nothing from a mont and instead looked at my hands trembling, it was not from fear but worry. I took in a deep breath and raised my head, our eyes interlocking. "To be honest, my body trembles sotis. Even now that I know I have allies, even when I know I'm much stronger than I could ever hope to achieve. Still I'm worried this might go wrong, maybe it is a human trait."
Talos walked over to at an alarming speed and stood before , I tried to focus on her face while her breasts sagged under her very thin clothing. Seeing that more mature look on her face it made wonder just how much she had grown over the past few years. To think she was once a spoiled brat. "Don't think like a human, you're a damn god for crying out loud. Act like it."
Oh, she was still a spoilt brat. But she had a point. Back when I was training with Charon he constantly bagged with the fact that I needed to act more like a god.
Being reborn in the body of a god did nothing to changed the fact that I was still a human underneath. Even if it was just a wisps of my soul it was still the sa.
"What do you think makes a god?" I asked as I sighed heavily, feeling a weight drop of my chest. Saying it out loud seed like a childish question in a world full of gods and mythical creatures. "I managed to rge with my other self, the real Hades. I half expected him to take control of my body or at least share it with but I did not even sense anything from him. Why did I a human dominante over the soul of Hades?"
I waited but heard nothing from her, I looked at her eyes but she kept glaring at with ill intent. Just why did this girl have to be so problematic? I guess she did not get the title of Ghost detective for nothing.
Now that I thought about it, when I first t Talos we were on opposing sides. What I found intriguing about her was her mind, and back then I forgot who she really was. This snotty brat was the best detective of this era, her pride did not co from her ability to solve cases but from her ability to adapt.
"I guess you must be having the ti of your life solving the biggest case you have ever set your mind on." I said but did not get a reply from her. "Don't worry I've got this under control. In seven days we will take down the circle."
She sighed and flopped into the seat next to . Her hair falling over her face. "You say it as if it's such an easy thing to do. Besides Artemis won't be waking up anyti soon, she is badly drained and on the brink of death."
She had a lot on I mind, I could sense that.
"So have you uncovered the plan of the circle?" I asked her in a gentle tone.
She looked at through the strands of her hair, her purple eyes piercing at . "Sowhat, at the campaign they plan to gather as much people as they can and douse them in the black amber. At least that's what I speculate and there's a 80% chance I'm right."
"It won't be much of an issue, I already have Hecate working on a cure to the poison as a precaution." I hinted.
Talos whistled into the air and ominous tone, I don't know why but her brain was working on sothing big. "I created a monster, it won't matter if she was already a monster before. I'll be the one to outsmart her and stop her."
I could see the resolve in her eyes, though I doubted that soone such as her could manage such a feat since she was not strong. But she also wasn't one to make rash decisions.
