Chapter 227 Apollo's change

While Rex was talking to Lilith

"I have a feeling that something major is going to happen." Hades told Apollo.

"Why is that?"

"Just a gut feeling. By the way, have you tried changing your Qi back to your original yet?" Hades glared.

"Honestly, I do not know how to use my dual affinities. I know my fire affinity burns bright like the sun. I honestly do not know how to change it." Apollo was depressed.

"For starters, you have to be like your fire and burn brightly." Hades said.

"That is easier said than done." Apollo replied.

Hades had been trying to get Apollo to have more confidence in himself. Everything that Hades did, Apollo just gave the credit away.

'When will he actually change?' Hades thought, leaving Apollo.

Hades went to go get Zeus to help him recover. Hades knew that his gut feeling was never wrong. Once Hades found Zeus, he replied everything that had transpired.

It was not long before Zeus found Apollo depressed and by himself. Zeus knew what had happened.

"A general cannot be depressed on the sidelines, Apollo." Apollo quickly looked up to see Zeus. "Your men will not follow you if you continue to be sad and depressed. STAND UP!" Zeus ordered.

Apollo stood up immediately and got into an attention stance.

"I know why you wanted to become a general. It was too follow in my footsteps. Now, you are more worthless than the common soldier of any other faction."

Apollo was disheartened.

"If you have time to be upset, you have time to train yourself and get your men better. A depressed leader will have depressed men. Once a soldier is depressed, lives are lost. Who has to tell the family that their loved ones died? You do. You go from being depressed to be murderer."

Apollo had never thought of it like that.

"Why feel depressed and sad. Be happy and glad that you get a chance to be by one of the famous demons in all of the Demon Realm, Lilith. Do not forget that you also serve the New Demon King Rex. If you are already depressed, that shows that Rex and/or Lilith is a bad leader. I will say this once and once only. They are both marvelous leaders. I want to continue being with them."

Apollo found a reason to be happy. This little change sparked something inside of him. He did not know what it was. He could tell something was changing.

Zeus then patted Apollo's shoulder.

"I hate yelling at you because you are young. You do need to listen to what I have told you." Zeus finished softly.

Once Zeus finished, he left.

Apollo had not even been by himself for a few minutes before an announcement came to the entire Lilith Mansion for a serious matter.

At the front door of the mansion, all of Lilith's army stood there at attention. The couple that Rex helped came up and stood at the side.

Iris, Liz, Margaret, Violet, and Amber in that order exited the house. They went and stood on the left side of the entrance.

Bella exited next and stood on the right side of the entrance. She had opened both doors to let Rex and Lilith walk out the way they wanted.

Everyone stood there for five minutes waiting. They began to wonder why they were called.

The ground trembled. Everyone knew that Rex was coming now. This made their hearts happy.

Apollo watched has happy faces were plastered on the faces of everyone around him. He, too, began to smile.

Rex stood in the front while Lilith held behind Rex on his right side.

Once the couple was out. Everyone cheered for how happy they were. Seeing Rex and Lilith, they could not help but be happy.

The symbol on Apollo's back began to change slightly. It went from a solid water drop to just a singular circle.

"Calm down." Rex said.

Everyone slowly began to calm themselves.

"It is with great pleasure that I announce that you all will be watching myself and Lilith do the complete Soul Mate." Rex said.

Everyone was extremely excited and happy to see their Masters do this.

"Before the excitement begins, I have an order to do." Rex said.

Everyone could not help but be on their toes.

"First off, Zeus, come forward."

Zeus walked towards Rex. He had no idea what he had in store for him.

"Zeus, you have been a great service to Lilith. It is without a doubt to say that she relied on you a lot. It is with that dedication that I am stripping you away from the title of General from Lilith. Before anyone says anything, let me finish."

Everyone had worried looks on their faces. Even Apollo could feel his anger boiling up. The symbol on his back had become a sun.

"Zeus, you are now under my command with the title of General of Protection. You will personally train 1,000 troops to not only protect Lilith while I am away but also to any of my wives who are in the Demon Realm." Rex finished.

This announcement shocked everyone. They knew never would have thought that Rex would do this.

"Thank you, great Demon King Rex. I will train the thousand soldiers to the best army that will even put the Heavenly Realm to shame." Zeus answered.

"I know you will." Rex laid his right hand on Zeus's right shoulder.

Everyone clapped and cheered to their loudest. Even Apollo was so shocked to hear how much of an upgrade Zeus got. That he did not notice his uniform was burning.

"Apollo, congrats on reawakening your Fire Qi. I had heard some about it. Now that I see it for myself, it burns like the sun, doesn't it?" Rex smiled.

Apollo blushed. He did not notice the uniform burning.

"It is fine. Here is Zeus's old uniform." Rex handed it to Bella. She took it to Apollo.

"Now then, without further ado. You, sir, come forward." Rex pointed to the man whom he had helped.

"Zeus's former army consisted of swordsmen, spearmen, and berserkers. Now, they are under your control until Lilith either makes it permanent or finds someone else. What is your name so that Lilith knows what to call you?" Rex asked.

"I left my name at the door of Diablo when I left his army. You may name me whatever you desire." The man replied.

"Your name shall be Poseidon." Rex said.

When Rex named him that, a Water Symbol formed on his back. It was the symbol that the man was already known for.

"Thank you." Posiedon answered.

Now that Apollo could feel the Water Qi from Poseidon. He no longer had to worry about being the Water Qi user.

'Zeus and Hades were always right.' Apollo smiled.

A moment of silence went across the area in front of Rex and Lilith. They were waiting to see the full union of them.

"Lilith, are you ready?" Rex asked.

"Not really. Better now than never." Lilith came from behind Rex.

She was currently wearing a blue sleeveless dress that just barely touched the ground.

"Now we shall finish the Soul Mate process between the two of us." Rex said.

Everyone went quiet and watched.
