Chapter 450: Prison visit

Chaos escaped without a trace, the barrier was set to explode and destroy that world, but I managed to stop it, I got back and also managed to subdue Nike, which should also be a great blow against their side.

So currently Dabria is the one who is suffering from this the most, she's been stuck in her room for like 2 days now grieving over the death of her brother all over again.

Every remnant across the know universe seems to have started to disappear, though it really isn't the biggest issue in the grand scheme of things since they are nothing but memories that are left behind by the original person.

The bright side of things, it's that after the fact that I captured Eros and Nike, our morale increased and the opposite happened to the enemy, causing our battle to become a stalemate again.

Even after all that effort with Arion and my thousands of kills, it seems like killing a drop of water amongst the ocean. There's just too many, and the gods on their side aren't that weak either, if they fight together as one and have a good strategist like Nike again, they might win. Currently they are just charging in with reckless abundance.

"Come on out, let's talk about this."

No response, so I just decided to open the door without her permission, it's technically my quarters, no matter what she does, I still hold complete control over it. She is currently in her room that is set to like freezing temperature as she wrap a blanket around herself.

"At least you didn't trash your room."

"What do you want, idiot?" she murmured as she wrapped herself tighter in her blanket "I'm neither your girlfriend nor your daughter, so go away."

I just went and sat by her side and remove the hair from her face and use magic to clean up her frozen tears. She just swat my hand away in annoyance a bit.

"Why are you taking this in so well?" she asked "You spent a lot of time with each other, more than me sometimes."

"I'm not, I would cry, but if both of us are down, it'll be bad for everyone else, so I'll stay strong so that you can be weak."

"Why do you have to be a stupid protagonist spouting stupid lines all the time..."

"We can go on a date if that makes you feel better, the banquet ended horribly and so we can't count that as our first date, we mostly went for business purposes anyway. Damon and Diana are doing well on the front lines, Ace and Siege are also helping them right now as Lia and Eliza are staying behinds, we can spare a day, I already checked up on Leo too, he's healthy and well taken care of."

"Stop showing him off." she grumbled "I would tell you to go away since you won't understand how this feels, but you know."

"Yeah, I thought I lost everything twice, only to earn it all back. Auntie is alive, 2 of my siblings are also technically alive as well, with only one, Benny, who will remain dead with no body to bury. I may not be able to bring your brother back, but I'll follow his last request to take care of you."

"You shut up with your stupid caring comments, alright?" she raised her voice as she turned to me "I'm the goddess of death, I deal with this, so go back and focus on your son."

"Eliza has ordered me to take care of you, she is carefully taking care of our son, so you are the one we worry about."

I then just sat there in silence for a few more moments while playing with her hair a bit and she didn't swat it away this time and just genuinely enjoyed my company. She didn't sleep, but she did close her eyes to calm herself down.

"Want to do it right now?" she asked out of the blue

"Sex? Why?"

"It might make me feel better."

"Then no, you're just hiding your pain at that point. You're the goddess of life, you should be the one guiding others and yourself, you should know this." I reasoned

"You've matured." she commented "The you before would have bullied you for rejecting my offer. You would regret that decision heavily."

| You fucking bastard. |

"Besides, my brother was always better than me at that aspect. I am nothing but a shadow compared to him." she grumbled

"Why must you be so complicated to deal with?" I said in a teasing tone

"I'm a woman, I'm very complicated, you hate us or something?"

"No, I love women, can't get enough of them."

*****

After I made sure my goddess was okay, I went to have a walk around Olympus a bit. Eros and Nike are about to stand trial in front of the Olympians, which means I have to be there as well. Zeus and Elektra are tasked to guard them and I got the 2 gods' inventory as spoil of war.

Eros' bow and Nike's golden laurel wreath , 2 amazing items that I managed to get, the laurel wreath is a good item, but the bow...I have no use for it, I do not want to use it to create arrows and manipulate people's feelings. I already felt bad using the 'charm' trait in the demon kingdom. I then confronted the 2 captured gods in their cells, Nike just stayed quiet in her corner while Eros look ecstatic at my visit.

"Hmm, I can sense that you recently experience something that has to do with love, a woman perhaps?" he asked "I would say men, but I don't think you're into that."

"Well I got exceptions like Ryan Reynolds, Andrew Garfield, Heung Min Son...but this isn't about me."

"Those are good choices to be fair, so how's our trial looking? Everything in Olympus is different now, Zeus is productive and an upstart is an Olympian, maybe the rules are more lenient."

"Death is the end result, Eros, the thing the trial is about would decide will be whether to grant you a painless or a painful way to end it once and for all."
