Chapter 393: So good news or bad news?

I woke up to see myself hugging the sleeping Siege. Ace somehow found his way to to snuck in between us. Lia is also sitting at the edge of the bed reading a book.

"You, young man, are in so much trouble." she giggled

"Yeah, I'm going back to sleep, my arms and legs are still sore."

"My legs and hips are sore every time, so welcome to our world. Dabria has confessed to me that she kissed you."

"Yeah...I'm going back to sleep instead of dealing with this. See you in a few hours."

"Now wait just a min-"

As a son of a sleeping god, I can go to sleep pretty quick and I doubt whatever they try will wake me up, they can try to hold my breath, but that's not going to work either. And let's just say, it made it worse when I woke up. Now, in my bedroom is Dabria, Cordelia, me, and Eliza who are going to have a serious conversation.

"So that's the conversation you 2 had in Tartarus?" Eliza asked

"Yep, he told me that they are now both aware of each other's feelings." Lia nodded "And now he cheated on us by kissing her."

"But I didn't? She did it against my will."

"Blame yourself for being a charming individual then." she shrugged

< So now it's my fault? >

"I admit that it was my fault." Dabria confirmed "But you have my word that I won't do it again."

"Was it nice at least?" Lia asked

"I'm not answering that. Though I did find him slightly attractive when I ripped off his shirt."

"Should I even be here?" I asked

"You wouldn't if you had actually not sleep and listened to what I had to say." Lia replied

"Fuck."

-I made up my mind to not say anything about it and here we are.-

-Hey, I may be a goddess, but I feel guilt too.- she replied

-Your fault for kissing me-

"Well stress is definitely not going to help me with this child, I'm still definitely on the fence on approving her to join us, you know." Eliza said "Besides, our relationship is already as weird as it is. Most people just have 1 lover. Our boyfriend got 2 and now 3."

"Well it just comes down to our faith whether he's going to give us all equal attention, so far he has, but if Dabria is joining in..." Lia trailed off "That might be different considering she's literally always with him."

"Don't worry, I will not be joining in yet even if I have permission." Dabria reassured "I will wait for when I become mortal which should be right after we beat this 4th wall mistress. I need my powers as a goddess until then."

"So you're planning to be what me and him was." Lia guessed "A weird sort of relationship because he was a coward, though this time it's you."

"I actually think it make sense. Chaos and this Baeli lady is after us, so let's just wait until then."

"Of course you think it make sense." Dabria grumbled "You're the one who is ultimately benefiting from this. I can't believe I fell for a womanizer like you."

"I actually don't mind, I would say that he's like my little trophy, but he's the total opposite of little." Lia joked which definitely made us all roll our eyes "I definitely love to monopolize him but sharing him has been fun, I got a new extended family after all...I also cannot physically handle him alone."

"Lia, seriously, why do you have to ruin wholesome lines with a dirty joke in the end? End it with the extended family part."

"Shouldn't you be used to it by now?" Eliza asked "Though, when our child is born, I worry that she will teach him unnecessary things."

"I will not teach him those things, I have standards." Lia reassured "It's the father's job to ruin him."

"I seriously worry about my son."

"Our." she corrected

All that aside, we got to go back on our trip to the underworld with the same group as last time. Except that Jake and Perun will not be joining, they will be substituted by Zach and Stella. The Steels are still coming along despite my protest.

We got to the underworld and met up with Cain who has a weird expression on his face.

"I got good news and bad news." he informed

"Do I have a choice? It doesn't sound like it."

"After what you did to Helios and recently, what you did to Zeus, all the fragments have been gathered into one place, so it should not take as long as last time, but here comes the bad news, which I'm sure you know, titans and gods who possess the fragments gathered in a one single spot, each stronger than Helios."

"Great, a small group of titans, it's titanomachy all over again."

"Some giants are joining in too." Cain added "They are freed and are joining in to fight you, some are very interested to tear you apart and eat you. I also heard something about braising you in your own blood in order to make your tough skin tender."

"Great, fantastic."

"Aren't you a bit too enthusiastic?" Stella asked "I mean it seems like everyone down there is out for your literal blood."

"I wouldn't recommend my blood." I shrugged "It's really bland, and the amount of salt you will need to just make it have a taste...It's better if they use their golden blood, though wine would be the best. I personally won't since I avoid alcohol in general."

-That's seriously the first thought that comes to your mind?- Diana asked

-No, it was the recipe on how to have a more tastier food than a braised...what?-

-I seriously question your girlfriend's choice in men. I love you and everything, but I would never date you.-

"Well Cain, lead the way, you can also have Hera's golden apple to eat if you want. Amora, do you want it? You can become immortal if you do. Zach?"

"Thanks bro, but semi immortality is all I need." Zach replied

"Well Cain, lead the way, after we defeat those titans, we can loot their corpses for divine items."
