Chapter 56

"Okay! I see you all are ready for the battle!" The mother of fate said, and slowly join her two huge hands together. 

"I was created ready!" Dusa said in a serious tone as she ready herself for the battle.

"Okay! I will send you all moments before the battles starts, so that you can either try to convince the upper gods not to fight with Hades or assist them in the battle if they decide not to listen to you." The mother of fate said, and they were a confuse by what she just said. 

"I don't understand mother, can you really send to pass in time?" Dusa ask her. 

"Yes i can...but the spell is really tricky." The mother of fate said and then her gigantic hands began to glow. 

"What if we can't convince the upper gods not fight Hades, then what...?" Dusa ask her. 

"Then you assist them in battle, but make sure you defect Hades and stop him from taking over Olympus and also the universe." The mother of fate instructed. 

"Yes mother!" Dusa calmly reply her. 

"...but great....sorry mother. This spell you are about to cast wouldn't it...like drain you or something? I know i am new to all this magical things, but i know that powerful magic drain or weak the body of the person that performs it." Soul pitch in. 

"Speaking like a true daughter of fate, and the goddess of kindness. Well...you are right, the time spell will greatly weaken me, but...." The mother of fate words was immediately Interrupted by Dusa.

"..What! No! Mother you don't have to waste all you strength just because of those upper gods. Just send us to the present and let us fight with Hades there. You don't have to send us to the past, you seriously don't have to." Dusa cut in. 

"No! It's important you talk to the upper god, and let them see their wrong before they kill themselves all because they want to fight Hades." The mother of fate said, and the glowing light in her hands became more brighter.

"Mother don't, you rested for centuries before you got the strength you use to resurrect Hades and Eros, you don't have to rest your remaining strength and power on those upper gods. They brought this on themselves. Just send us to the present, let's fight with Hades there... please mother!" Dusa beg her.

"It's okay child, i know you are just worried about me. But don't worry i will be fine. Just another few centuries of rest will give me back my powers.." the mother of fate stated, and the light glowing in her hands became really bright. 

So bright that it nearly covered the entire resting place of the mother of fate.

"I guess it's almost time to leave" Eros spoke out.

"Yes! I am definitely going to miss this place. It was surely an honor coming here, meeting the mother of fate and she taking me as one of her descendants." Soul stated, and look at Eros.

"You ready?" Soul strangely ask him.

"...are you Ready?" Eros ask her. 

"Yeah of course. That's why i ask you silly." Soul said to him with a smile on her face.

"I know. But please when we are fighting Hades. Stay behind us." Eros said to her in a serious tone. 

"Wait! You don't believe that i can fight?" Soul ask him.

"I do believe you can fight, but you just obtained the power of a goddess and still getting use to it...

So when we are in battle, stay behind us. Or just protect the injure." Eros said to her, and look at the bright light glowing on the mother of fate hands. 

"I am sorry Eros, but i can do that. I may be new to all these, but i am not a coward. I will fight to be very end, and stop that bad man from taking over world." Soul made it clear to him.

"Soul please...." Eros was about to say something, but Dusa loud voice stopped him from talking. 

"We have to come up with a strategy before we go into battle!....We all heard what mother said right? Hades defected the upper gods and if we not plan out a good strategy before fight him, then we might end up like those upper gods." Dusa spoke out.

"You are right sister." Aphrodite spoke out while she holds her inferior flames in her hands. 

"We do have to plan out a good strategy if we want to win against Hades. But we have to plan, and agree on it now because I think mother is almost done with the spell." Aphrodite said and look at her mother. 

"Okay sister." Dusa replied her, and then her spirit animal carries her to their front. 

"Okay! How are we going to defect Hades?" Dusa ask them.

"Well if you want to win against Hades in a battle you need to surprise me. Like, my father don't like surprises and if you surprise him with your powers, strategy or strength, he may give out a opening which you can use to attack him." Zadre revealed. 

"Woah! Thanks my love. That will really help us." Dusa said, and turn to Eros. 

"What about you god of love? You have face Hades before right? So what do you think we should do?" Dusa ask Eros. 

"When i fought with Hades in the underworld, he was strong and his attacks were a little predictable. So if we want to really beat Hades we have to come up with an unpredictable attack that he wouldn't expect." Eros added. 

"You speak well god of love." Dusa compliment him, and turn to Aphrodite.

"What...? I have not fought or come face to face with Hades." Aphrodite immediately said as Dusa turn to her. 

"Yes! We know you haven't fought Hades, but i still remember, when we were still in Olympus, you were close friends with the goddess of war strategies, so perhaps you learn one or two things about war strategies from her." Dusa said, and they all look at her.

"Me and the goddess of war strategies were close, but i learnt nothing from her." Aphrodite revealed. 

"...but, i remember she usually say that 'if you want to win a battle, you must always make your enemies think you are weak so that they will drop their guide down, and fight you with little effort. When they eventually do this, then you attack them with all your power.' that's just it." Aphrodite said, and they were all impress with her words.

"The goddes of war strategies was really a wise goddess." Dusa said and turn to them.

"Okay! You said that surprising Hades will totally defect him, and you also said that unleashing a surprise attack on him will also defect him too. Then Aphrodite said that making ourselves look weak will give us a chance to defect him....so what are we going to use?" Dusa ask them all. 

"Obliviously my idea. We give me a surprise attack." Eros spoke out. 

"Giving him a surprise attack wouldn't guarantee that the attack will kill me. So surprising him with our presence and then attack him will do the trick." Hades cut in.

"....No! We should follow the words of the goddess of war strategies, that will give us a fighting chance." Aphrodite cut in too, and they all began arguing with each other.

"Wait! Wait! We don't time to be arguing about this, and mother is probably almost done with the time. So we have to decide now!" Dusa shouted to them.

"Then we have to follow my strategy." Zadre said. 

"Mine is better!" Aphrodite added. 

"No mother mine is better!" Eros also added. 

"We are all doomed!" Dusa said as she watch them argue with each other again.

"Wait! I have something to say!" Soul shouted, and they all kept quiet and look at her. 

"..what do you have to say soul....oh! I almost forgot it's goddess soul now." Dusa said with a smile on her face.

"It's fine, you can just call me soul." Soul humbly said, and then her spirit animal carries her to their front. 

"Okay! I will be quick." Soul said, and turn to Zadre. 

"You said that the best way to defect your father....sorry Hades, is by surprising him in the battle with her presence right?" Soul ask him. 

"Yes!" Zadre reply her. 

"Okay!" Soul said, and turn to Eros. 

"god of love! You said that the best way in defecting Hades is surprising him with an attack...right?" Soul ask him. 

"Yes!" He immediately reply.

"Why did she just call me by my title?" Eros ask himself. 

"Okay!" Soul answer and turn to Aphrodite. 

"goddess, you said that the best way in defecting our enemy is by making him think we are weak then we attack right?" Soul ask her. 

"Yes!" Aphrodite reply. 

"Okay!" Soul answered. 

"Soul what are you even trying to say?" Dusa ask her. 

"Can't you see it goddess Dusa?" Soul excitedly ask her. 

"See what?" Dusa ask her. 

"...See that, i alone can carry out all their different strategies because they are all connected!" Soul said to them.
