BXBX NOVEL Chapter 146: So It Was Nyx's Fault?
"A human? Those greedy beings!" Mnemosyne shouted, about to go mad.
"Was he as dangerous as Sopdu, Nyx?" Chronos asked calmly.
"More than you can imagine, when I looked into his eyes I remembered the darkness when I first met Desmond, not as compassionate as the darkness of Erebus...That man was evil," Nyx said.
Even those words were enough for each of them.
"Should we send Hecate away? If she reduces her form to low, she might be able to make it down to the 75th floor," asked Hestia.
"No way, James won't forgive us," Erebus muttered.
Every titan in the hall knew that every one of these words was true, many gods and goddesses were waiting to go down to the 75th floor, if someone like Hacate crossed that border, it would mean that everyone could cross it.
This seemed to emphasise another of the main aims of those who were trying to revive the Fallen Gods.
All the titans paused in great surprise, each of them suddenly thinking the same thing, the purpose of those bastards and their whereabouts suddenly dawning on everyone.
"I may need to ask my father," Nyx said suddenly, and Chronos, hearing this, said, "I'll come with you, Erebus watch the hall, the rest of you please watch James, no one should approach him right now. Either there is a traitor in Olympus or these bastards are from there..."
Hearing those words, the aura around Hyperion seemed to suddenly rise.
"You mean those bastards are from outside the tower?" asked Hyperion, asking something that everyone else was thinking but didn't want to admit.
The only reason they wouldn't want to admit it was that if that were the case, Nyx and the Titans, Leyla, Ronald and Cain, and the Supreme Dragons outside the tower would have destroyed the security of the tower.
None of them could accept such a thing.
"I'm going out of my mind. You're telling me that they managed to get past us, who are always on guard? I can understand that in a way, but they can't get past the Supreme Dragons!"
Crius was quite right, every single Supreme Dragon was always alert in the only sense of the word, they did nothing else, and with their long life spans, millions of years seemed like just a day to them.
"In that case, we can agree that there is no way in from the outside, maybe they somehow managed to send a message from the outside to the inside," Chronos said.
"It's not unreasonable, but it's also not logical, the tower's system has intelligence and will, and the tower we are in is alive Chronos, is there anyone who can break this system other than Chaos?" asked Hyperion, but as soon as they asked this question, everyone thought of one person.
"We know he didn't do it, but...." Erebus said.
"James...the return of the Black bloodline to the tower must have opened a gap in the tower's will," Nyx said, taking a big deep breath and putting her hand to her forehead, starting to worry about the possibility of that.
"So basically they don't know who James is, if our theories are correct. Maybe he had nothing to do with the people outside the tower, it's not like it's the only sacred place in 24 existence, they wouldn't have the guts to come and kidnap him just because someone broke causality. Especially with Chaos watching them." Hyperion added he was right.
"Like I said, it's best to ask my father, it's obvious what needs to be done." Nyx said and stood up, turning back before he and Chronos passed through the passage he had opened in the hall, "Let's hope that what happened was just a result of finding old spells in the tower, otherwise, this will no longer be a game for us gods.
Remember...as murderous as the tower may be, this place is for those who have given up hope."
With those words, the duo's surroundings changed again as they passed through the portal, this time Chaos seemed to be hiding from Nyx.
"I've been waiting for you, I know you have questions, come, let's talk," Chaos said suddenly, this time looking much younger and more imposing than before.
"Father, you know what our questions are, we just want to take precautions, we have high hopes that you can give us the answers." said Nyx, after these words, Chaos opened his eyes wide in shock and then smiled and said, "You already know the answer, but I think I can tell you, you look very worried."
With that, an image appeared in the upper part of the environment they were in.
"No kidding..." Chronos said, and it was obvious why he was surprised.
They both knew what they were looking at, they didn't even know if Chaos was joking, but they hoped it was a joke.
"Are you kidding me, dad?" Nyx asked, not expecting to see this item here.
"I mean, it's not a joke, they found it and removed all the harmless dark magic from it before putting it back, and the result is something that could attract the hatred of the Fallen Gods."
"NYX!" shouted Chronos, seeming to blame the whole thing on him in a way.
This item was like a piece of Nyx's destroyed churches, Nyx didn't know what to say.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO YOU DUMB CHRONOS!?" shouted Nyx, as if the brothers were fighting.
"I don't know maybe be better and make some people check the ruins of old churches?" said Chronos and suddenly Nyx was silenced.
This item, or piece of item, carried a tiny fragment of Desmond's aura, which explained why the Fallen Gods' hatred had grown so enormously strong.
Thanks to this hatred and the black magic stolen from the item, the spirits of the Fallen Gods were able to feed themselves even though they were dead inside the tower.
It was up to the gods to find the item.
