chapter 309 - Gaia Whereabouts
"... I know where your anger comes from, but again... Please forgive my foolish brother"
Hearing this, Taufik exchanged glances with Hades for a moment before finally letting out a sigh.
"*Sigh* Do you think I'll do that just because you ask me?"
"No, you're not... But killing Zeus will not get you any good either... Please Forgive him, and in exchange, I'll tell you where Mother Gaia is... And I'll also tell you what happened to her... Is it the answers you want, Right?"
"WHAT ARE YOU SAID, HADES?!! FIGHT HIM! HE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH POWER LEFT OR YOU BETTER KILL ME BECAUSE I'LL NEVER GIVE HIM THE ANSWERS HE WANTS!!"
Zeus shouted angrily at Hades, still insisting not to tell Taufik Gaia's location. But Hades did not buy Zeus's threat. Instead, he spoke to Zeus in a voice that was no less loud than Zeus's.@@novelbin@@
"SHUT UP, ZEUS!! LOOK AROUND YOU! LOOK HOW MANY OF OUR MEN HAVE FALL BECAUSE OF YOU! THE ONCE MIGHTY OLYMPUS IS ALMOST GONE BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPIDITY AND THE REVENGE THAT CLOSES YOUR EYES... BRINGING BACK HERMES AND ARES TO THE UPPER WORLD WILL BE EASY BUT FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID WAR, THIS WILL TAKE A LOT OF TIME! AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ANSWER HIS QUESTIONS THEN I WILL!"
"HADES! THE CONSEQUENCE F-"
Zeus tried to argue, but before he could say anything further, Hades cut off his argument.
"WHAT?! NOW YOU TALK ABOUT CONSEQUENCE? YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU START ALL OF THIS SHIT, YOU STUPID! NOW IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE TO THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES... IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE, ZEUS! SO YOU BETTER SHUT THAT F*CKING MOUTH OF YOURS WHILE I'M HERE TRYING TO SAVE YOUR ASS!"
"..."
Hearing this, Zeus could only remain silent, looking around at the battlefield; the bodies of his troops were scattered everywhere; they were not truly dead because when their souls could return from the underworld, they could come back to life. But as Hades said, it will take a very long time.

After saying that, Hades then looked back at Taufik.
"... You hear that, I'll tell you what you wanted to know, so let's calm down and talk"
Hearing what Hades said, Taufik immediately lost his intention to continue this dispute and then sheathed his katana and stored the Ninjato inside the Inventory. Then said.
"*Sigh* If it was going to be like this in the end, you should have done this from the start; at least it would save me some time, you know?"
"... I did warn them before to not do this, but they just do not want to hear it... And now here we are"
"I don't care about you guys' problem, just tell me the things I want to know, and after that, you can go and do whatever you want"
"... It's a long story, so let's change place first"

After that, Taufik followed Hades to go to Olympus, and Zeus and Poseidon also followed them. And some Olympus soldiers carrying the unconscious Artemis and Apollo also followed them.
Meanwhile, Athena stayed on the battlefield to take care of the battlefield with Olympus soldiers, who were still able to move.
Taufik did not go to Olympus alone because even though it was not visible, at this time, Taufik was feeling quite tired, especially mentally, therefore, Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka followed Taufik, while Kl'lara also stopped by the Battlefield to revive her fallen Skeleton Troops.
The atmosphere in the Adriatic Sea has begun to return to calm after the battle above it has ended.
Except for a part of the frozen Adriatic Sea, and the scars of the battle that took place, there is nothing else.

- Olympus.
After arriving at Olympus, Zeus and Poseidon received treatment, especially for Apollo and Artemis who were seriously injured.
Meanwhile, Taufik, followed by Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka, followed Hades to another room.
"There's nothing much changed in this place from the last time I came here"
Said Taufik, while looking at Hades who was sitting in front of him.
On Taufik's back, as usual, Lembuswana perched and Nāgāntaka stood behind Taufik like a bodyguard.
"... Now, tell me, what exactly happened to Gaia? And make it short because I don't have much time... There's someone waiting for me"
"I'll tell you, but you need to promise me that you will not get mad"
"I will judge that for myself, Hades... Just tell me"
"Alright... This is a long story, but I'll try to make it as short as possible... So it's happened when... "
After that, Hades told Taufik what happened briefly but did not leave out the important points.
Hades continued to tell his story, and Taufik could only listen with mixed feelings, but mostly what he felt was anger, especially when he found out what Zeus did to Gaia.
"... That's MotherF*cker!"
"Please don't be angry, he was blinded by his desire for revenge when he did that, he usually isn't like this but since what happened before, he has become like this, please understand"
Hades said, trying to calm Taufik who seemed like he was going to move from his place and go straight to Zeus and kill him.
"What I did last time was because I was trying to understand, I did it because of your relationship with Gaia, but this is what you did to Gaia!... Mark my words, Hades... If something happens to Gaia, the first thing I will do is destroy Olympus, this is the second time, and there will be no third time"
"I understand, there will no a third time because they've already learned their lesson so they will think twice before they take action against you again... Trust me"
"*Sigh* I'll try to believe you again this time..."
Said Taufik; he then fell silent for a while to try to understand the story that Hades told; after a while, Taufik spoke again.
"... So Gaia is currently at the core of the Earth and Zeus placed the Aegis with her there?"
"Yes, he did that in exchange for us, the Olympus can still stay on the earth... But for that to happen, We couldn't come down to earth or be directly involved with anything that happened on earth, but now, that condition has been violated, and I don't know what HE will do"
Hades said, sounding a little worried about what would happen next.
However, Taufik, who heard this, just snorted.
"HE, you mean here, are you referring to The Fate? That guy?"
Hearing this, Hades looked a little panicked.
"You can just say his name so casually like that... What if-"
"You don't have to worry about that, that guy will not do anything, at least not yet... "
"How can you be so sure about that?"
"Because I've already met him once"
"..."
Hearing what Taufik had just said, Hades seemed unable to believe his ears, so he could only remain silent for a while before finally asking.
"Yes, could you repeat that? You what?"
"I've met him before, The Fate"
"... In person?"
"Yes, In person"
"And you still Alive?"
Hearing Hades' question, Taufik frowned and then said to Hades in a slightly annoyed tone.
"... Are you cursing me to die or what?"
"No, I don't mean it, but it's just, you know? It just sounds like something that is hard to believe"
"I'm alive, I admit that the creature's power is very strong, even its gaze makes me unable to move"
"But you managed to survive"
"I did, but because he had a fatal weakness"
"Weakness? He has a weakness?! That being?!"
Hades asked in surprise.
"Yeah, he has it, but it's not a weakness in general"
"What? What is it?"
Hearing this, Taufik remained silent while staring at Hades who seemed excited, thinking about whether he would tell him or not, but in the end, Taufik chose not to tell him.
"... You don't have to know that; the only thing that you need to know is that he wouldn't do something to Olympus, just not yet... But that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want because he won't tolerate your behavior forever... So you better keep what we're talking about between the two of us"
"... I see, I'll do that... Thank you for the Information... That makes me feel so relieved"
"It's nothing... But before I go, I want to ask something, something that still has something to do with The Fate"
"Something related to that being? What is it?"
Hearing that, Taufik hesitated a little, he wanted to ask Hades just to make sure of something, but he didn't know if it was the right thing to do or not, but since he had started it, it was better to finish it, so after being silent for a while, Taufik then opened his mouth, saying.
"... You know The Fate, but just by any chance do you also know The Will?"
"... The Will?"
"Yes"
"The Will... I believe... "
