Chapter 79 - 79 A Simple Question

Tisiphone's jaw dropped at this revelation while her eyes sparkled.

'Interesting…' she thought.

"Joren…" Megaera muttered while Allecto only glared daggers at him.

"Hahaha… Allecto, Megaera, fancy meeting you here." Joren stood up with Kidrith, whose face went paler, still on his back.

Megaera pointed down, and with an authoritative voice, she said, "Put Kidrith down."

"No, she can't stand up on her ow-"

"She can." Megaera strongly intercepted Joren's sentence.

"Yes, I can," Kidrith replied and went down from Joren's back before wobbling around.

"See, she can't."

"No, she can."

"Yes, I can." Kidrith nodded with a gloomy expression. She already spent the courage she had going against Hades. She felt like her soul would leave her body if she chose to go against the Furies as well.

After that farce, Allecto asked with a cold gaze, "What are you two doing he-hey! What are you doing…?"

"Hold these." Megaera let Joren hold her thighs after jumping onto his behind. After ignoring Allecto, she replied, "What were you asking?"

"Gah! Get off him! Why are you riding his back? Shouldn't I be the one there!?"

"You? Who's the Goddess of Jealousy again?"

"As if that's a valid explanation…!"

"Tsk!" Megaera climbed down and then stopped Allecto from doing what she did earlier.

"You're so unfair. You know that, right!?"

"If I can't, you can't. How is that fair?" Megaera didn't relent.

'What are they doing?' not just Tisiphone, but also Joren and Kidrith internally asked.

"So, again, what are you two doing here?" Allecto repeated.

"...?" Joren was about to answer when he felt something cover his mouth.

'Huh? I can't open my mouth… and I feel my energy decreasing….'

"Why aren't you answering? Are you two hiding something?" Allecto frowned even more, "I still haven't forgotten what you two did, Joren."

'I don't know why I can't open my mouth, but Kidrith should be able to explain!' Joren looked at Kidrith, and his eyes widened when he saw her eyes losing their life. Others may not notice since Kidrith is usually cold and formal, but Joren knows that Kidrith has become more honest now.

'Fucking Hades!!' Joren gritted his teeth in anger as he raised his right leg back before swinging it forward.

Thud* "Kii~!"

"Haa–!" Kidrith gasped as soon as she was released. She no longer had the strength to stand up properly and fell onto Joren's arm.

"???"

Megaera and Allecto looked at each other. They haven't seen Joren act this way. How should they react to this kind of behavior?

"Did you hear something like a squeal?" Tisiphone was the one who asked, which Allecto added.

"Yeah, that too. A very painful squeal."

Joren stopped his foot, not knowing where it would land. But by doing so, Hades wouldn't show up. Joren knows how important pride is for Gods and Goddesses, and that's why he's sure that as long as his foot is placed onto Hades, this Lord of the Underworld wouldn't move.

He then looked at Megaera at Allecto, and with a sincere expression, he asked;

"Can I get my soul back?"

It was straightforward but an effective method to get something back that's once yours.

Everyone then looked at Allecto since the soul was considered hers.

But for Allecto, is there a need to ask?

'I was planning to give it to him tomorrow as an apology…' although it's a little irritating that reality wouldn't go as what she plans but…

"Explain everything first."

Tisiphone then sighed, 'I thought she's considering giving the soul back. There's no way Allecto would do that.'

"I'll explain it later once I come back."

'Come back?' Megaera knew what Joren meant by this while Allecto was not.

"Okay, I don't know why you're in such a hurry, but you better explain it later."

Allecto then unwrapped the chain that holds the birdcage, lowering it down onto the floor.

"Woah, wait. What are you doing?" Tisiphone asked in surprise as she stood up from the giant bed.

"I'm giving it to him." Allecto raised an eyebrow.

"Don't look at me as if I'm the weird one. This isn't like you. Why are you giving it to him?"

While Tisiphone protests, Allecto has already handed the soul to Joren after giving Kidrith a glaring glance. Even Megaera does not understand Allecto's actions.

'Unless she…'

"We should tell them." Joren then whispered to Allecto.

"Tell what?"

Joren didn't answer at first and just leaned forward and kissed Allecto in front of everyone.

"Thanks for giving me my precious soul back."

"Ah..,?"

Not just Allecto, everyone was stunned. Even the weakened Zidrith had her eyes wide open.

Taking the chance of their stunned state, Joren ran away and stepped onto Hades as much as possible.

"I'll make you my official girlfriend once I come back!"

Joren used all his strength to carry Kidrith and his soul… although his soul is as light as a feather, it has a material form that he can hold.

However…!

'This position is bad!'

Slap* Slap* Slap*

He hugged his 'thigh' with his 'crotch' facing him. Joren didn't think much about it at first since he got too flustered by kissing Allecto again. His dick would flail and sometimes slap his cheek with every step he made.

"..." Kidrith stared at him with a frozen face as if she was watching her nightmare.

"I can't change its position while running this fast, okay!?"

"I understand. Now, let me die."

"No, you don't understand!"

"But, I feel like I've seen everything."

A bead of tear came from Kidrith's eyes.

Slap* Slap* Slap*

"Damnit!! I was so cool earlier!"

...

Back to the Furies' room, Allecto was left dazing at the empty air.

'Oh no, her anger is going to explode any moment…!' Tisiphone was about to panic when Allecto finally snapped out of her daze.

"Allecto, take it easy, okay? Calm dow-"

"He said g-girlfriend~."

"That's not the reaction I'm expecting at all!" Tisiphone suddenly got stressed and looked at Megaera for help, "Sister, Allecto is-"

"Hm? What happened?" Megaera smiled at them.

"E-eh? Didn't you see what happened? Allecto was k-"

"Hm? What happened?"

"Let me finish…! Allecto was k-"

Megaera then walked to Tisiphone and held her shoulder.

"Nothing happened."

"Joren said I'll be his girlfriend." Allecto said to Megaera.

"He said no such thing."

"You're so bitter." Allecto mischievously smirked and poked at Megaera's cheeks, who seemed pissed off.

Tisiphone backed away with trembling legs.

'N-no way… these two?'

Meanwhile, the pain had finally lessened, so Hades slowly stood up and looked at the Furies.

'What are they talking about? I don't know what happened after that sharp pain, but I do know one thing… that Joren stepped on me!!'

Hades gritted his teeth and sensed where Joren currently was right now. With a thought, he appeared in front of Joren, who was running down the cylindrical stairs.

"I shouldn't have taken my time to get this helmet!" Hades then threw the helmet away, showing himself, which shocked Joren and Kidrith.

"I'll just stomp onto your stupid face then!" Joren jumped and placed Kidrith atop him with all his strength.

But before Joren could reach Hades' face, the latter stopped his attack. Hades only raised his hand and used it to block Joren's feet.

2 percent.

"Oh no-!"

Joren muttered as Hades grabbed his feet and slammed him down the stairs. His back solidly hit the stairs while Kidrith was atop him, increasing the weight.

Bam!*

"Argh-!" Joren spat some blood. The underworld's 'moonlight' shone upon them through the giant window beside them.

"Kahahaha! Stupid! Stupid! You went to this place which is one of the farthest places from our rooms!" Hades laughed while furious, "You think I'm physically weak!? I don't know how my energy does not affect you, but I can also strengthen my physical body like how I built it! It's not much compared to other Gods, but for an undead like you, it's already overwhelming!"

Joren tried to move but couldn't as he had his spine broken with that slam.

"Your body is weak! I don't know how strong you were when you were still alive, but your strength is limited once you turn into an undead! You have your soul so close to you, but as long as you're in my realm, it will not come back to you!"

Hades used this chance to mock Joren. It would be greatly dissatisfactory if he were just to kill this undead here and then.

"After all that you had done to me, I will not kill you! I don't know why you remain unaffected by my realm energy, but that's a good thing since in that way, you can eternally suffer in Tartarus!"

Hades then looked at the weakened Kidrith and licked his lips.

"But before that, I'll have to let you experience what's the worst thing that could happen to a man."

His hand went to hold Kidrith when Joren kicked it up, making Hades raise an eyebrow.

"What a useless struggle." seeing Joren helplessly struggle placed a smile on Hades' face, "Don't worry, you'll witness everything."

"My Lord!"

At that moment, someone took Hades' attention briefly.

"Nebarius?"

Then, a shadow appeared upon them. Both Hades and Nebarius looked and saw Joren standing on the giant windowsill, covering some of the 'moonlight'

He then looked down on Hades before jumping down from that floor that has at least a mountain's height.
