Chapter 65: Preparations for the Traitors

And Ronald was acutely aware of that.

He couldn't lie. He had already reached an agreement with James so if he lied and it was found out he would be in a lot of trouble. Indeed, Ronald had never felt so trapped before.

Ronald realised that he couldn't escape Nyx's gaze, not when even his husband Erebus had averted his eyes from Nyx's gaze and chosen not to get involved.

"My lady...James was murdered about an hour ago," Ronald suddenly blurted out.

Upon hearing these words, every single person in the hall gulped. Nemesis's nerve coefficients had increased to an enormous level, she was clenching her hands so hard that her nails were piercing her skin, and the blood flowing from her hands had already formed a puddle.

Artemis was trying to calm Nemesis, while Thanatos sharpened his scythe. When Nemesis turned to him, she heard these words:

"Don't look so grumpy Neme, aren't we going to kill everyone?'"

At Thanatos' words, everyone paused, each person in the hall began to sweat, they could feel every hair on their bodies prickle, and they were aware of every blood flowing in their bodies, every heartbeat beating.

The Olympians dropped to their knees as eyes turned to Nyx, even in fear. There was no accounting for the aura spilling out of Nyx. Such a gigantic energy, such a gigantic aura had overflowed that the entire mountain of Olympos was trembling.

Each layer of the 150th floor began to tremble one by one.

He could have used a method like this to explain the enormity of Nyx's power.

Under the laws of the tower, those who reached the 75th floor would acquire a small shred of divinity, which would increase their power many times over, making them once again the most powerful of the gods under the laws of the tower.

When they ascended to the 100th floor, they became demigods.

The 100th floor was basically the last floor of the tower that people could reach because the following parts were the lands where the gods lived and the places that Chaos added to the tower later.

Mount Olympus, Asgard, Atlantis, Niflheim, Nirvana, Jade Mountain and many other special places were located on these floors. From the 100th floor to the 150th floor, each region worked on these kinds of things.

In a sense, each floor after the 100th floor is where the gods live and where battles are fought non-stop. There was no need for a special test to pass the floors, on the contrary, the gates could be opened with special items that had to be found.

These floors are designed in such a way that they will never collapse despite all the wars that will certainly exist. Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Nyx was strong enough to completely shatter the 150th floor, just below the tower top area where Chaos lived.

She was emitting such a gigantic aura that the entire floor was shaking, the hall was dust. Nyx was mad as hell.

"Mother, your orders," Moros said suddenly, dropping to his knees at the foot of the stairs below the throne so that he was standing directly in front of Nyx.

Nyx, on the other hand, calmed down as soon as she heard her son's voice and instantly realised that there was no reason to be so angry. It was a good thing that a few words from her son had been so calming.

She had already thought that James was dead and had come back with the Philosopher's Stone, every one of them had thought that, after all, it didn't bode well for James to be so emotional with a message that only she had shown him.

"Wait a bit Moros and you Ronald, tell me the story quick." Nyx suddenly said.

Hearing this, Ronald shook his head and then began to speak:

"When the young master was injured we sent him to one of the hospital rooms, it was all our fault, we took our eyes off him for a second and one of the arena competitors entered his room and killed him, I secured the weapons and released the attacker."

Nyx shook her head as Ronald said these words and then said, "It's good that you released him, gather information on who he is and then come back. Moros, Nemesis and Apate, you will observe the higher gods, look for any connections, and report anything you find."

The three brothers nodded and left the hall, each eye turning to the weapons of offence Ronald had produced.

When the shattered medallion and the knife were laid out in front of the eyes, everyone could see that the knife was completely normal, but everyone who looked at the medallion was puzzled.

"This is the work of one of the Egyptian Gods..." Erebus suddenly said he was one of the people closest to the Egyptian Gods.

"I realise, the medallion has my father's power in it, I'm hoping you'll go to Great Uncle Ra and ask him, darling," Nyx replied. Erebus shook his head after what he heard kissed Nyx on the lips and said, "Calm down, we will eventually put them all in front of you." and left the hall under Nyx's smile.

With that, Zeus gave orders to all the Olympian gods in the hall and told them to inspect all the Egyptian Gods on the 150th floor, and with that, every single person in Olympus, down to the laziest god, took action.

The game of the gods was already quite an escalating event, but this was the final point in the eyes of Nyx, the goddess who was passive in everything. If someone or some people thought to attack someone Nyx already considered her child, and even did so, they would not be able to live.

Who they were, or what they were trying to do, was unknown, but anyone who sensed Nyx's aura could only think one thing for certain:

"We really screwed up. We truly screwed up and we will die for this."
