Chapter 20: Empty Hell
"I heard you called Rhea mother, so how long have you known, Zeus?"
Adamantheia and Zeus were together having a meal when Adamantheia remembered what Rhea told her earlier in the day as she couldn't shut up about it.
Zeus sighed as he was trying to avoid this question all day long but it seems he couldn't escape his fate.
"I'm 10, not stupid, I will know she is my mother from the moment I see her, I mean, it is so obvious and only a fool would not know something that obvious"
Adamantheia was surprised to find out that Zeus figured out who is mother without no one saying anything to him but she still did not get the answer to what she asked him.
"I know you are smart but that still doesn't answer my question, how long have you know that Rhea is your mother?"
Zeus sighed again, he was starting to get frustrated with the questioning session but he knew he will have to answer him or he will not get any peace of mind "I knew from the moment she first visited, when I was seven. You always say that you were not my mother but just a caretaker and their has not been any stranger that comes to the Island except from Gaia who I knew was related to me but she is not my mother as I could not feel that parental bond from her but something else, so when Rhea, I mean Mother cane to the Island, I could feel that bond between a mother and a child with and the way she looks at me, I knew she is my mother. So that's how I found out about her"
Adamantheia was impressed by Zeus's intuitive ability "I'm truly impressed by your intuitive ability and I have to say you will be a force to reckon with when you are old enough from what you have shown so far" Adamantheia praised Zeus for his ability to discern things without proof or evidence "now, let's talk about the recent stunt you pulled today"
Zeus felt a headache as he saw the sudden change on Adamantheia's face when she said that, he knew he was going to have an earful from her.
"What were you thinking of yelling at Lucifer like that? Huh, do you know he can snuff the life right out of you with just a snap of his fingers and all your mother can do is just cry her eyes out without being able to do anything to him. Do you know that even Gaia, one of the most powerful Primal goddess ever known is mindful of what she says in his present, that shows how strong and powerful he is to be able to do that and you, a boy of ten years have the guts to yell at the man everyone is afraid of, what was wrong with your head at that moment?" Said Adamantheia who had a serious expression as she questioned Zeus on how he got the courage to talk to Lucifer like that, even she would think twice and still not be able to talk to him like that.
Zeus just kept his head down and remained silent as he did not know how to answer that question, all he knew was that he was overcame by this inexplicable rage if being ignored by Lucifer during the training and he had to let it out which he did but he did not expect things to escalate to that extent.
Realm of Hindu
Amiel was surrounded by blue skin bipedal beasts that numbered up to millions all swarming towards her.
The beast are the creations of Lord Shiva who noticed the appearance of Amiel, so he created a special kind of duplicating demon and had them attack Amiel.
Amiel destroyed them effortlessly at first but before she could revel in her victory, she was swarmed by another set of the never ending beasts.
The more she kills, the more they attack her, seeing as she has no hope of getting rid of the pests disturbing her, she had to call on her lazy sister who could use her intelligence to good use instead of sleeping in Hell.
After she called Coriel, she unleashed a devastating attack which destroyed all the beasts but she did not let her guard down as she knew that there are more of these pests.
"Come On, I Know There Is Someone Behind This, Why Don't You Show Yourself And Stop Hiding Behind Your Little Pets"
Amiel shouted to the void and demanded for whoever was behind her attack, but she didn't get any answer, the only answer she received was the roars of the incoming waves of beasts.
Rooaaarrrr~Rooaaarrrr~Rooaaarrrr
Amiel sighed and got ready for another round of obliteration.
"I would like to know why I was disturbed from my sleep, sister"
