Chapter 66: Ch. 66: The Losing Man (I)

Ch. 66: The Losing Man (I)

I felt Zeus reach out for me but I had just escaped his grasp. "Big bro don't leave me, please." I could hear him sobbing. "I don't want you to leave me, please you are the only one I have."

So the great mighty Zeus from the legends was all a sham, just a baby man. Amusing.

A loud thunderbolt cracked the sky open causing me to stop, the roar of it was mighty enough to shake the heavens. "Big bro, if you leave me now, then I'll kill you too...!!!"

My eyes popped up as I muttered the words. "What the fu--" What kind of a response was that? To think Zeus himself was this unhinged.

"Please, don't leave me." He said in a more stricter tone this time.

I did not think Zeus was the one to joke so me must have been telling the truth but why threaten the one person he loved the most. I had no reason to comply even with my life on the line, I would dictate the story of my own life myself. "Tsk." I hissed and continued forward.

I felt an updraft of wind and expected to feel Zeus' hand digging through my chest but we were interrupted by a high ringing sound above our heads. I shifted my eyes up to see a familiar drone, hundreds of them hovering around. I was sure they were not there a moment ago. "It's him." I muttered with a clear distaste in my voice.

The drones beeped and spoke in one clear uniform voice in high volume. "Hades, we meet again. I trust that you enjoyed my little game. Or should I call you a foreigner? Not that it matters since I will be done with you after today.

You must have been wondering why I chose here and now to expose your identity, the answer is simple-- I needed you to bring down most of the circle's empire so I could move more freely. All along you were my destructive sword in this game. And once a sword becomes too sharp to wield it will be discarded without fail."

I screamed out at the drones. "Anonymous you fool, you messed up everything. I trust your plan must have been achieved now."

Zeus was quiet behind my back, I wondered what he must have had on his mind.

The drones beeped again. "In retrospect my nemesis, my plans have not come a bit close to fruition. But they have progressed. I should be possessing the golden apple in your possession and the black book, they are in your room aren't they?"

"Damnit!" I kicked into gear but then Zeus appeared before me with his eyes empty and blazing with sparks of golden lightning. "Move!" My eues hissed out black smoke.

"I would not advise that if I were you Hades, the win is mine either way but allow me a word of advice." The drones started to rotate over our heads. "Prepare yourself to be greeted by the elite force of the Bair agency, apparently some little birdie told them you went to see Prometheus.

Did you know that was against the rules, since Zeus is here you might go through this unharmed but knowing you I know you won't lie still. Your brain must still be trying to comprehend your incomprehensible defeat at my hands but it has always been steps behind. You know, I never saw you as an obstacle in the first place."

"Why you!" I gritted my teeth in rage, I lost to him. It was true that I had no defensive measure against him because his goals was still beyong my comprehension, no that was just an excuse. I could still--

BOOOOOOOM!

A huge explosion of ragin flames roared from the higher levels of the hotel and consumed it, billions of pieces of fragmented glass shimmered in the air and started to fall down to the ground. I held my breath for some reason, Eris, the book, the apple, everything I had gained was being burned to the ground before my eyes. The bitter taste of failure.

Zeus still stood before me giving me the chills with his souless. I wonder what was going on in his head at the moment.

"You lose HADES!!"

I lost control of my body and fell on my knees unable to move. "All my planning and this snake brought it all down." Why was my body trembling now? Did I over exert myself that much?

I recalled the watcher's words to me a month ago:

"I have to warn you that the next calamity will be very dangerous almost impossible to complete. Are you up for the challenge?" Was this the challenge he meant? Did he know all this was coming? He could have warned me beforehand instead of me putting my butt on the line every single time.

"Oh, and here they come-- you are so f**king screwed!!" The drones beeped just as give two ballistic armoured black cars droved into the space before us and parked there. Out came ten strange looking people dressed in all black and masked concealing their faces. The second car was a huge tank, with it's shooting butt faced to us.

My Greek mythology world had just turned to a war movie, just great! Warriors on horses and chariots, no— cars. Suits of armour, no— stylized suits. Spears, swords and arrows, no— guns and tanks. So much for expecting something close to the story. Even my knowledge could not change the fact that I was screwed

"Hades, ruler of the underworld you have violated the laws of the Bia agency and went to see a class 1 criminal and murdered him!!" One of them spoke in an amplified voice. "For this crime you will be taken into questioning and tortured with our latest torturing devices. Don't worry we will update you to the leisure deluxe suite in our max prison. Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e-NovelFire

But know this you will know hell, regardless of your status you are now public criminal one."

My face cringed. "What the fu--"

Who was dead now? Things were spiralling out of control again no matter how much I tried to control them, what sort of inevitabiliy was this?

Hop on the rollercoaster of pain—!! I was in for a serving of trouble this time.
