Chapter 135: God of Lightning

"Stop, you slut! I will kill you today!" Sophia yelled on top of her lungs.

Emilia jumped on the taffrail of the ship and climbed the ship.

Sophia tried to chase her, but Emilia was jumping and climbing all over the ship. If she slipped, she would fall into the sea, but she was jumping without any worry.

"Stop jumping like a monkey!" Sophia shouted.

Emilia could climb a tall tree in seconds, and she could jump over a small distance without any fear. But when it came to jumping over a large distance— like the bottomless pit in the Olympus palace, she got scared.

Whenever Sophia jumped to Emilia to catch them, Emilia jumped to the other spot, leaving Sophia with nothing but fury.

"I said stop jumping!" 

"I won't," Emilia smirked and climbed the highest stop of the ship.

"Come down!" Sophia has never been that angry before.

"Stop chasing me, and promise me you won't touch me; only then will I come down," Emilia demanded.

"There is no way I will forgive you. I will throw you in the sea and drown you to death!" Sophia hissed.

Asteria watched Emilia and Sophia, then turned to Nero and asked with a  concerned look on her face, "Shouldn't you stop them?"

"It's fine. Everything will be back to normal after a while," Nero replied.

After they finished eating breakfast and came to the upper deck, Nero was feeling bored and wanted to get some entertainment, so he told Sophia that Emilia was trying to push her down the bed when she was sleeping.

It's been an hour since then, and Sophia was still trying to catch Emilia.

"You shouldn't have told her," Asteria uttered.

"She was doing something bad, and she needs to be punished," Nero asserted with a grin.

Asteria squinted her eyes and said, "You are enjoying this, aren't you?"

"Nope." Nero grinned wider and asked, "What makes you think that?"

"It's written all over your face."

Nero raised his brows and thought, 'Let's have some more fun.'

He nudged his elbow to Asteria and whispered, "Emilia would chase you the same way she is being chased by Sophi right now if I tell her that you gave me morning service."

Asteria gulped down and hugged Nero's arm in fear.

"I was kidding; she won't do that."

Asteria sighed in relief and let go of Nero's arm.

"Or maybe she will," Nero added with a grin.

Asteria once again hugged Nero's arm and hid behind him.

"Kek!" Nero laughed.

Asteria puffed her cheeks and buried her face in Nero's arm after saying, "Please stop teasing me all the time."

Nero patted Asteria on the head and said, "I have something important to tell you."

"What?" ASteria asked with a curious yet calm look on her face.

"Not now. Once I return after killing that fallen god, I shall have a talk with you."

"Alright!" Nero clapped his hands and said, "That's enough."

Sophia and Emilia looked at Nero and said, "We are not done yet."

Nero raised his brows and uttered, "I said that's enough."

"Fine~" Sophia rolled her eyes and walked to Nero.

"Okay~" Emilia groaned and climbed down the ship.

"Come closer." Nero beckoned them.

"What is it? You are acting serious," Emilia asked.

"Yeah. Just like he was acting when he asked a foursome," Sophia remarked.

"This time, it's really serious," Nero proclaimed.

Asteria, Sophia, and Emilia surrounded Nero and waited patiently for him to speak.

"Can you give me the map we drew?" Nero asked Sophia.

"Sure," Sophia raised her hand in the air and conjured a map.

Nero opened the map and pinpointed their current location.

"We are here right now. And…" He slid his finger to the east in the map and said, "The island should be here."

There was no island on the map because no one had traveled that part of the world as the travelers were afraid of something around the area. 

Nero then moved his finger to the northern area and tapped on the continent: "This continent is close to the island. And we can reach there in 3 days if we change our route right now."

"If we go to the island, then we will need to sail to the other side of the island, and it would take us five days," Nero informed.

"So? What are you trying to say?" Sophia asked.

"I am saying that… I will change the route of the ship, so we can reach the next continent in three days."

Sophia squinted her eyes and asked, "And what about the fallen god you were so eager to kill?" 

After a brief silence, Nero opened his mouth and said, "I will go to the island alone. And you all go to the next continent on the ship."

Sophia snatched the map from Nero and passed it to Emilia, and Emilia ripped it into pieces.

They both folded their arms below their bosom and said in unison: "Not happening."

"Why are you suddenly getting along now? And you girls seem to misunderstand something."

"No, we are not. You are going alone, and that's enough for us to be against it."

"I will simply go and kill that fallen god. It won't even take a minute, and I will be back even without you all realizing. It would be the same as if I never left." Nero tried to explain his plan.

"You are talking about fighting a god here, Zeus; Not some angels or demons. And mind you, you have never fought a god before," Sophia said with a frowned face.

"What does it matter? And it's a fallen god."

"Then he is more dangerous."

"Ah, come on! You are exaggerating."

"No, I am not!"

"We are like, what? Three hours away from the island, and I still can't sense that god's power. Even angels can be traced from that much distance."

Sophia raised her brows and sighed, then after pondering over it for some time, she nodded and groaned, "Fine~"

"But you have to promise me you will be back soon," she added.

"Gotcha!"

Nero then looked at Emilia and raised his brows repeatedly.

"I will wait for you to come back."

When Nero glanced at Asteria to ask for her permission, she hugged him and muttered, "Be back soon."

"I will be back in a minute," Nero replied with a confident smile on his face.

"Sophi, handle the wheel, would you?"

Sophia nodded and said, "Leave that to me."

"Alrighty then…" Nero stretched his hands and squatted a couple of times before jumping into the sea.

As soon as he jumped, he lunged to the sea bed and launched himself up in the air.

He soared through the clouds and landed on the island.

Upon reaching there, he found a man standing in the middle of nowhere, as though he was waiting for Nero.

"So you have finally arrived," the man uttered.

Nero raised his brows and uttered nonchalantly: "So you are the so-called fallen god. What's so special about you? I don't even feel any power from you."

"My name is Thor— God of lightning," he said in a loud and deep voice.
