Chapter 346: Meeting Hades (3)

"Dude, you need to chill, I heard a god of profanities say less." Hades commented

"Yeah, like, who hurt you." Styx joined in our conversation for the first time

"Oh shut up, that bitch, that damn hag. When I get to her, I will gag her with a sweaty athletes worn sock to shut her up for good."

"Son, as much as I totally sympathizes with you and totally agree that my mother is unreasonable, but you should calm down a bit." Hypnos tried to calm me down

"How many gods know of this stupid fake marriage?"

"Oh basically everyone but the people who associate with you." Persephone answered "Do you think I can get an autograph before you go down to meet your demise?"

"Sure...why not. What do I need to sign?" I sigh in frustration as Elektra pat me on the back comforting me

"Why me? I just want to slack off and sleep all day, and now life just throw stupid obstacles at me, 'reincarnated into a world of clichés', more like 'reincarnated into world of made up stupid bullshit that comes from a delusional author' "

| Woah. No need to call me out like that. |

"Reincarnation is so much easier in novels, and here I am, being forced into a marriage that I've yet consented to, forced to fight a god who I can't beat and possibly become a vessel for his unknown master!"

"Yes, we understand your struggles. Let's just deal with this, then I'll help you with Nyx and you can rest till the date of the banquet." Elektra said

"I'll use the power of a celestial, I may not beat her, but I'll definitely give her somewhat of a lost, I will cuss her out till she cries. I'll emotionally scar her for the rest of her sad life."

"You can say worse? I'm both intrigued and horrified." Hades commented

"Yeah, like how can it get any worse than that?" Persephone agreed

"Oh you clearly don't know our author." Siege chuckled "When we tried to spite him last time, he said $(&@&($(&@!&#^! and $@*$*&@*@!&8"

"Woah." all the gods in the room exclaimed

"Author, like who are you trying to prove? Even dead tortured souls say less awful things than you." Styx said "And my river is full of them."

| Uhh, it's called a fit of rage, surely you can understand. |

"Oh, that's not all." Siege continued "He said @&@&*$-"

"Stop please" Hades ordered "I will not have someone say such vile things in my castle."

"Styx, now that you're here, I have a question."

"Yeah, let's move away from such a despicable topic." Hades nodded "You have my permission to speak your mind."

"What do you want to ask?" Styx asked

"Nike, why did she join Eros? And is there a way to persuade her to come back to our side?"

"Eros made a deal with her, she was promised the original harpē, the one Zeus used to castrate and kill his father. She wants to use that, reforge it into a sword of her own." Styx explained "Kronos used it to kill his father and Zeus did the same, that sword always belonged in the hand of the victor according to her and so she desire it. If you ever managed to get it first, then you can get her back."

| So basically a harpē is a sword with a sickle protrusion on its side, you can search it up. |

"Damn, so do you have any clue where it is?"

"Oh it's guarded in Olympus, so good luck getting it." Styx snickered

-Siege, can you get in contact with Artemis?-

-I can- Siege replied -I'll try to get her help on it, but I doubt she has any say on whether we can get it or not, Zeus probably holds the authority to do so. But I'll talk to her about it anyway, I can contact her with Hypnos' help later.-

-Dabria, can you tell this to Helena later? We need their help on this, they can talk to Zeus about this.-

-I will, don't worry.- Dabria responded

"Hades, is there a way you can talk to Zeus about this?"

"Why do you think I don't have a seat on Olympus? Even though I'm very powerful, in terms of authority, I only have it in here. I can talk to Demeter, since she's both my sister and mother in law, but I doubt she have any say in it." He answered

"I can at least convince her to vote on your side." Persephone chimed in

"Thank you, that would help a lot."

"No worries, it's the least I can do for all the entertainment you provided me. It's more entertaining than that time my husband convinced old people that video games causes violence."

"Oh yeah, it's so hilarious." Hades laughed "Video games just increases your aggression, yet people are so stupid and they actually believed fake research. Sports have the same effect and yet no one brings that up, they just rather blame video games cuz it was easier."

"Especially the politicians, oh man, it was so funny." Persephone added

| So it was them. Readers, you now know who to blame. |

"Can I have a group picture with all of you?"

"Sure, come on."

*****

"You know, never in my life did I think I would take a group with Hades."

-Me neither- Dabria sighs -You definitely make my life take many strange turns and I'm not sure whether I like it or not.-

-Thank you-

"I have permission to hang the picture on my wall, right?" Persephone asked

"Oh go ahead, thanks for the expensive gems...they're not cursed right?"

"Oh none of them are, they'll bring good luck due to our blessings." Hades replied "You can use them for your future wedding ring."

"You can also craft accessories with them and gift them to Stella, your sister." Persephone added

"I plan to, she's been great. I'm also giving some of the rest to my family as souvenirs. Now let's go get the others, we're going to head for Lethe a short bit, and we're going down Tartarus."

-You guys can go first, I'm making a small stop in Elysium, be sure to take a lot of Lethe with us.-

-I plan on telling Jake my plans after my future retirement there- Dabria replied

-Go ahead, he's your holy knight, you can do whatever you want. But take the flowers from Hypnos' cave, they should be useful if we use them right, we can also gift them to Vlad.-
