Chapter 195: Uranus Moves

"I left Miracle in the village and I guarded the mines."

James, who didn't seem to understand Ariel's words, raised an eyebrow, looking annoyed.

"Did I get that right? You left a little girl in the village to protect everyone from all dangers?"

Ariel shook her head from side to side in disappointment as James asked this question, and then let out a deep breath and said, "I apologise for leaving a small female dragon to protect the village when she can destroy the entire floor if she has enough energy."

James shut his mouth as soon as he heard those words and then coughed his jaw shut without even trying to say anything.

"I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep, sprinkle some of that sleeping powder on me," James said, and Ariel did as he said and poured every single grain of powder from the bottle she had taken out of her inventory on James.

When James' eyes closed, Ariel got up from where she was and went outside.

Ariel saw Miracle and the others waiting outside the house and then said, "He's fine, he just needs to rest for another day or so. Get back to work."

After Ariel's words, the others did as she said and left, leaving only her and the little girl Miracle. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Things were different on Olympus. Nyx, Erebus, and the Titans met in Nyx's temple. The seriousness on each of their faces was evident.

"Do you mean what you say, Nyx?" Erebus asked, even though he was having trouble believing his wife Nyx.

"It would seem so," Nyx replied.

"We couldn't locate our enemies, but we were able to find the likely location of where they had information?" grumbled Gaia. Even to her, it seemed ridiculous that Nyx could find everything so fast.

"That's right. There's a huge trove of information on the fortieth, thirty-fifth and twentieth floors. Exchanged. One of the Church Cardinals alerted me as soon as he realised, and after a little processing, I found out it was real," Nyx replied as she pulled a few papers out of her inventory and placed them on the table.

Hyperion reached for the papers before anyone else and was surprised when he read them, "Are we sure the information on this paper is true?" he asked.

"That's right, it seems they've managed to set up barriers that even those in the Church of Night won't notice. Unlike the fifth floor, on the twentieth floor, the church's activity did not spread to the whole floor, so they settled there too.

You already know the thirty-fifth and fortieth floors, the territory of the outlaws, the church has declared those two floors sinful and refused to enter them." Nyx replied and Hyperion shook his head.

"I'll delegate a few people, but everyone still needs to come to a decision. According to the paper, my dear siblings, father and mother, those bastards are trying to conquer the floors of the tower from the dark areas," Hyperion said.

Hearing these words, Chronos frowned and then said, "So they are trying to start that war again. They are trying to bring back the era that caused the deaths of many of our friends..."

With these words of Chronos, everyone fell silent and for a minute there was not even a sound of breathing in the area, as if they thought that they had to respect their dead friends.

When the minute was over, everyone stood up and then the voice of Uranus was heard:

"Careful then, let's leave the twentieth floor to Datura and Aether, and the thirty-fifth floor to Hyperions. I will take care of the 40th floor myself, I will send everyone under my command there."

The Titans and Erebus and Nyx, who looked at Uranus as if surprised by his words, did not know what to say.

Uranus himself, which had not moved since Desmond had disappeared, or rather since the end of the war, seemed to be on the move, and this alone seemed to indicate that a new war was about to break out.

What needed to happen was for James and all those under his command to regain their strength after so many wars and troubles, before the danger and one of the great extinctions occurred.

After all, if a war was to be 'decisive', the right side had to be strengthened, and in this case, the right side would be James and everyone who watched him and wanted to follow him.

The Titans dispersed and Nyx and Erebus returned to the main hall and sat back down on the throne. Everyone's eyes were on the two huge screens showing Ariel and James.

James seemed to have woken up.

-----

The first thing James did when he woke up was to get into the hot water. He went into the 'bath house' section of Narbeth's house, washed himself and then got into the hot tub.

Even if the pain in his body was not completely gone, it would still be fair to say that all the pain was gone.

Coming out of the bath, James was greeted by the smiles of many elves, dwarves and half-demons. Many pixies greeted him and the rest went about their business.

Beyond the white earth, James managed to see the tall black thing in the area towards the woodland.

It was clear to James at that moment that the walls were complete. Surrounding the whole village, the ramparts were indeed perfect, the beauty of the dwarf's workmanship was truly as it was said to be.

James slowly made his way through the village and even though he had been asleep for a long time, he managed to notice the changes.

House styles and the like were no longer even in the same places, the behaviour of the elves and other races was quite different, each seemed to have colour in their faces, to have come alive.

His steps stopped after a while, he came across a construction site and he could understand why the houses in the village had been moved.

James realised that a building was being constructed right in the middle of the village, a building of enormous size and appearance, whose roads seemed to stretch to the outside of the walls.

The sight made James smile, clearly not expecting such a thing.
