Reborn As Hades In Olympus Chapter 156 Chapter 156 The Flow Of Change (I)

Ch. 156: The Flow Of Change (I)

Talos rose from the chair and glanced over at , her eyes strong and far from passionate. "I need you to see sothing before we face another sudden crisis." She walked away regardless of whether I followed.

I followed her down to a deeper part of the workshop. Down here the deep sll of the smoke and the noice of the clinking of tals died out totally. The sll that greeted was one I loved myself, the sweet sll of books.

"I didn't know you had a library here." I said barely hiding the interest in my voice. Read new adventures at empire

She said nothing and continued to walked further to the open space where shelves filled with books stayed. On the floor were books scattered all around. At first that was what I saw but now that I stared at it I noticed how orderly arranged the books were on the floor.

"I had this set up when I was still getting fixed up by Hephaestus. There are information in here that you can't find in so places, most of these are far back since before Hephaestus started to create his technological advancents." She walked carefully over the floor of books and ancient parchnts.

I stood away from the ss for my own good. If she told she had read all of this then I might as well be impressed. "There is no way you read all of this." I tried to lighten the mood.

She paused, her back trembling, I felt her bite back in disgust. "It did take a while, but after I mastered a bit of the ancient language it beca easier."

"Did you say you mastered the language?" I smiled lightly. "There are tis you surprise —" before I could finish she cut off.

"And this is not one of them, all I'm doing is using what I have upstairs rather than being oppressive with the brutal power of you gods." She did not seem happy.

I leaned against one of the shelves and it creaked oddly, "Hmm? Are you gonna keep pointing out my fallouts or get down to business. Why did you bring here?"

Her eyes pressed closer together as if she suspected of sothing but she sighed as if forsaking the thought. "I hate it when you do that."

I smiled and asked. "What is it that I could do to upset the elusive ghost detective?"

She bit her lower lips and said. "You know damn what you dummy."

I crossed my arms and carried an air of superiority there. "Well we can't conclude on that till you say it now will we?"

"Urrgh!" She landed a resounding slap on her face snapping herself back to her usual self. She looked up at and said. "That thing you do every damn ti, you always pretend to be diocre anwhile your brain is... Scary. You might not be on par with my level of thought but you sure are a resourceful one."

I sensed a pain in her voice.

"I feel in a way...." She stopped herself there and turned back to the books beneath her feet. "There sothing I found out so years back. Rember when Hephaestus spoke about heard of the curses before, according to what I managed to decipher there was a story of a coming war. So sort of prophecy about soone from another world trying to stop the greatest destroyer of worlds. I think this has to do with you."

I listened to her theory even further and fell into a short silence. I found what she said to be odd, if any of these were truly accurate then how did the gods who ca from that ti know nothing if it?

"And where are you going?" Talos called after as I started to walk away. "You've figured sothing out haven't you?"

I waved and said nothing leaving her to herself. The last thing I heard was a hiss from her. Why did I not say anything to her? Maybe I was tired of all this nonsense about prophecies and just wanted a bit of fresh air.

As I walked out of the underground workshop and into the light I wondered if what Talos actually said about was true or was she just giving more support to inflate my ego?

No Talos was not one to acknowledge soone's achievents so she must have been passing a clear ssage to use my head.

"Huff." I sighed as I walked further away from the complex and just kept heading towards the forest with a number of thoughts battling in my head. The final battle would have casualties, in terms of strength I would say the circle was stronger.

They had Poseidon who acted as the ring leader, they had Pandora who was on a whole other league on her own. Apollo might prove to be a bit of an issue later, there was also Ares. Those were just the strongest ones I knew of, what if there were other gods who were involved.

Trying to take them all alone would be rash, using my dark pantheon to combat them directly would also prove to be ineffective. Even if it would put us on equal terms just barely it would only prevent them for a while.

If I was to have a clear victory I would need to outsmart them all. I needed a way to make us seem like the heroes and Poseidon and his circle of buddies the villain. To do that I am going to need a spectacle.

I slipped my phone out of my pocket and called. "...?" Why was she taking this long, she usually responded on the first ring.

Click!

I spoke before she could. "Are you still on Olympus?"

"Yes lord Hades." Hecate responded. "I await your return my lord."

"That's adorable, have you co close to working on a cure for black amber?" I asked.

She responded almost imdiately. "No my lord, we are far from it."

"What the hell, hadn't it been a decade and still nothing?" I had been too preoccupied with my return to even ask her that. I had thought there would be a cure around this ti.

I could hear her breathing, slow and shallow. "I apologize my lord. The substance has been very unpredictable, it adapts over whatever we give it. The best cure we have at the mont manages to hold off it's effects for a few minutes at best, not even repelling it."

"I apologize for my incompetence." She finished.

I smiled and waved her off as if she were before . "Don't worry, it's not like it's the end of the world. Do you know where the serpentine tribe is?"

I heard her say in a low tone. "Yes, my lord."

I straightened my face and said. "Good. Then go over there on my orders and et my buddy Arman, tell him to show you to Anok, he knows the secret to the poison. Use whatever you can in your arsenal of soul powers to the max and get a cure in seven days."

"That will not be an issue my lord." She said back. "But will you be leaving for again?"

Her tone sounded pained, it almost made cry— rhetorical though. "Possibly, I still need to polish my skills a bit before the battle. I might stir up a bit of a chaos too."

I could sense a tension travelling down the line but I could have been imagining it. Hecate rarely showed suc emotions. "Hades...."

She called by na this must have been important, if I rembered correctly she was a close friend of Hades from far back as the war of Titanomachy. She only referred to by my title when it was as a matter of duty aning this had to be personal.

I stopped in my tracked and huffed out. "I'm right here."

"Is this war inevitable? The enemies we are facing, is not that I doubt your strength but I don't want to lose anyone."

"I want.... I don't want what happend during the war to repeat itself."

I waited for a bit before I spoke back. "You're worried for the others or for Hers? It's funny how you always have such a big heart under al that gothic energy."

I heard her chuckled softly and it made my heart dance for so reason. I could not stop imagining her face before mine smiling like an angel in the dark.

"Would you say that so my face if you were here?" She asked.

Sothing about this conversation felt different, it was like I was seeing her right before . I could feel her presence, like our souls connecting. Was this her ability as the goddess of ghosts? Was she affecting my souls with her words?

"I might be a little worried about them, and maybe even Hers but I was infact talking about you." Her voice sounded very hypnotizing.

I asked out of interest now. "I don't follow."

She sighed. "I don't want you to lose yourself like you did back then."

"Now what are you talking about?" I asked now more interested in the topic.
