Chapter 616: Do Not Read
Chapter 253
Zeus.
The infamous playboy.
But most commonly known as the deity of thunder in Greek mythology. The strongest god ruling over the mount of Olympus, they say.
Well, I wouldn’t say he was a legendary figure or anything. In the first place, he was nothing but a fignt of imagination by Greeks who made the strongest man, Heracles, Hercules, and nad him as the son of Zeus, a demigod.
So take it from who has lived in the human world, the imagination of people knows no bounds.
Well, I wasn’t here to tell whether all of that was true or not. Sotis, religions don’t just co out because of people’s greed, they also co out to answer people’s hope.
And if that hope is in the form of a playboy who disguised himself as many animals to escape the hawk-like eyes of his wife and had affairs with many won, correction, wives, and sired many children.
Well, let’s just say people were desperate this ti.
Anyway, in the stories, the strongest god of thunder and lightning.
Son of Cronus and Rhea and the supre deity. If I went into Zeus’s intro, it would take a whole while so let us just stay in his ability lane.
As I said, he was the deity of thunder, a thunder Supre, just like the so-called gods of this world.
An unimaginable amount of strength followed that deity and his titles as well as accomplishnts number in thousands.
Now I didn’t think that the Zeus ntioned by Desmond was the real one. My guess was that it was probably a supre with the power of lightning who either managed to tear the dinsional barrier and found the way to this world, or it was a supre from another world, another fragnt.
If he was from another fragnt, and a weaker one, that would explain why he was able to overpower the people of this world while also being able to remain in this world because the world allowed his strength because it didn’t reach the limit of this world.
Whatever the case may be, my guess was that he was an outsider rather than a being of this fragnt or this world.
As Desmond finished his explanation, I raised my hand.
“Yes, student Adrian.” He permitted to ask so I asked, “You said that many apostles, saints, and armies banded together to fight this guy. How do you expect us to fight him?”
“A very good question.” Desmond replied despite his dissatisfaction with and continued to answer my question, “When Zeus first showed up, he killed all the witnesses. The world wasn’t notified of his advent on ti which allowed him to raise his strength. However, if the world was notified earlier when he appeared, he was just an S rank individual.”
“Your task,” He moved on to the main task and said, “is to ensure that one of your escapes to inform the world of his appearance while the rest of you buy ti for that individual to escape.”
“The farther your ally makes it, the better your exam scores. Rember, you will be graded equally on this test. No one can score higher than others because it depends on your combined efforts. However, you will be graded individually afterward according to your performance. How you fought? How well you cooperated? Such things would be taken into consideration while evaluating you. That will tell us how much your score will decrease.”
At Desmond’s explanation, everyone turned to look at each other. It was safe to say that this class was divided on many fronts.
I an, Eric and the rest of the apostles have their own cliques, except for the fact that one of them was currently in a very friendly relationship with , one was in a good friendship with , and due to her, her whipped boyfriend, also an apostle, was on good terms with .
Sasha was sowhat undetermined and as for Derrell, well, the seven kingdoms were keeping him in their hold back in their kingdoms but thanks to the blood bond between and him, he was on my side as well.
So, Sophien, Layla, Sasha, Zefton, and Derrell, five out of seven apostles of the human world were on my side so the biggest clique in the class was my own but even other than that, there were still so of them.
It didn’t rival mine but Eric’s clique was also very significant in the class so it was safe to say that during the test, even though most of the students would be on my side, there would still be a confrontation.
[Isn’t there an easier way to solve it?]
‘Yeah. It involves killing him but I cannot do that, now can I?’ I rhetorically asked and turned to Sophien and said, “Call everyone in the eting room. Invite Sasha, Layla, and Zefton as well.”
Since Sophien was on good terms with Layla, she would call her over and since Layla was on good terms with practically everyone, she would call Sasha and summon Zefton.
And yeah, I used the word summon because he was whipped.

“How’s married life treating you?” I asked with a smile as Layla entered the living room of the Lux manor along with Zefton.
Zefton had a grouchy expression on his face but he followed Layla like an obedient little puppy.
“Cannot say I complain. It is very good.” Layla said with a smile and took the empty seat on one of the couches.
“What is this gathering for?” Fiona, my cousin, who didn’t have any coverage for a long ti asked. Well, Fiona and Cassandra weren’t invited to this eting but they barged in when they saw and the rest of my team.
“Nothing you need to know,” I replied.
To be honest, I had nothing against them but that also ant that I had nothing to do with them. They were neither my allies nor my enemies.
In simpler terms, I had nothing to do with them.
Anyway, since the others didn’t have a problem with them being here, I allowed their presence.
Besides, they were mostly likely ordered by the third prince to be here. My status in the eyes of the emperor was quite significant after all.
And with so many of the hindrances out of the way, the fight to the throne would be between and the first imperial prince.
As for the third prince, I removed the soul entrapnt from him but haven’t heard anything about his situation. All I heard from the butler was that he would scream at night and had to be guarded by many guards lest they risk him committing suicide.
And I was surprised to know that girl Brittney didn’t leave him. Well, good for him.
Finally, after a few more minutes, Sasha was the last one to arrive.
Sophien, Asmara, Alicia, Laura, Rose, and Max looked at with the expectations of starting.
Layla and Sasha also looked at , waiting for to begin while Fiona, Cassandra, and Zefton had a grouchy expression on their faces, looking like triplets.
“I haven’t gathered you all to discuss the test but the power issue in the test,” I said.
“Well, obviously. Eric wouldn’t like it if his authority was undermined.” Layla was the one to say.
And she was supposed to be the average one intellectually.
“Exactly. Eric wouldn’t like it. Though all of you may have accepted , he hasn’t.” I replied. Well, it was more like he hated but when it ca to this test, it was all the sa thing.
“That was why I wanted to see whether you are all comfortable with all of this or not,” I said.
“I have no problem with you leading us,” Layla replied.
“So do I.” Sasha was the next one to reply.
It was safe to say that everyone agreed so I smiled and said, “Good. Now that you’re all going to follow . Here’s my first order,” I smiled and said, “Follow Rose.”
“…”
“What?”
*******************
Natasha made her way to the world’s tree and entered the hollow space underneath its giant roots. The world’s tree was giant enough to cover everything in view so obviously, the hollow place between its roots was giant as well.
So big that the palace of the World Tree’s saint was constructed in that place.
Natasha lived in that entire palace alone because no other elf, not even the elven queen was allowed to enter that sacred palace.
Only the saint and the saint’s successor were allowed to enter that palace.
Currently, however, the world tree had allowed one more person to enter that palace.
The apostle of destruction.
Natasha opened the door to his room to look at an old shriveled man who had a neutral expression on his face.
“How are you doing?” Natasha asked with a smile.
“I am very well now, thanks to you.” The apostle of destruction said.
“That is a good news. Alastair would be happy to hear.” Natasha said.
“Yes. I hope he returns successfully though.” The apostle said.
“May I ask you sothing?” Natasha asked.
“Of course.” The apostle said.
“Since it was before my ti, I don’t know about the ‘Dungeon of Diamonds’. But do you know who has been imprisoned in there?” Natasha asked.
The old man remained silent for a while before he looked at Natasha and replied in just one word, “Zeus.”
