Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System -
Chapter 123: Nyx Against Chaos (1)
This question asked by James really sounded like the words Vlad wanted to hear. It looked as if he was going to start telling a story, but at the last moment, he restrained himself and said, "This is what my father wanted. I was going to pass on everything I learnt from him when he came, who had even greater potential than him."
Hearing these words, James did not know what to say. He was really overjoyed, his eyes widened, and all his hair stood on end.
"Thank you very much, my ancestor!" James suddenly said, and the smile on his face grew even bigger as he said these words in his mind.
With that, James stood up and gently sheathed his sword.
"You are becoming more and more like my father, young man. As you can tell from seeing me, our DNA is so dominant that our bloodlines are very similar," Vlad suddenly said, and strangely, these words made James happy. Even though he had never met Desmond, he still knew something about him.
[We need to talk.]
James was smiling with happiness when he suddenly saw Nyx's message in front of him, he instantly realised what was going on. Emily had made it clear that the next time they spoke there would be nothing to block them and that Nyx or the others would be suspicious if James revealed anything.
"About what, m'lady?" James had asked, and the message he was about to receive would change everything for him.
[About Desmond].
The smile on James' face vanished when he saw the message. He was sure that Nyx knew what kind of person he was, so he made sure that no one would hear about this.
"So you remember, my lady," James said.
[I remembered less than half an hour ago] Nyx replied.
James had no idea what to say, he just stood where he was, breathing in and out in a normal tone.
[Aren't you going to apologise?]
The question that appeared at the bottom of the message window made James strangely angry. However, despite all this anger, it became quite difficult for him not to be in deep sadness.
"You're the one who forgot your best friend existed...mum." James suddenly said, the word mum at the end of his sentence seeming to tell not only Nyx but all Chaos-Borns how angry he was.
[You should have told me anyway...] Nyx said, still looking incredibly upset.
"What, I'm supposed to try to tell you everything when I can't even give you proof that I am descended from someone you've forgotten about for an incredibly long time? I've only just found out myself. I learnt as I approached the top of the mountain on my way to fight the Fallen God," James had replied, and Nyx, hearing what he had said, had agreed with him.
After all, there was going to be quite a difference between them loving James and this incident, one was the old family and the other seemed to be showing him Nyx's newly acquired family member.
[I'm sorry...I didn't mean to forget everything...I'm incredibly angry with my father, massively angry] Nyx said, wanting to go and talk to Chaos.
"It doesn't matter to me, my lady, what you need to understand is that I'm not the guilty one here. I've only just found out who I am, what kind of beings my mother and ancestors were, and so much more.
I've been incredibly happy since you, the Chaos-Borns, became my new family, but now I'm not even sure if Chaos orchestrated everything that happened till now." James said suddenly, unable to comprehend how much those words had affected all the Chaos-Borns.
"It's like I'm an actor playing out a script written by Chaos, I don't understand what's going on," James added, which seemed to give Nyx all the more reason to talk to Chaos.
["Whatever happens, James, never forget that we love you. We don't care if you're a descendant of our best friend, we love you, you're part of our family, you're my son].
James couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw this message written in front of him, he had no idea what to say, but he knew he had to say thank you.
"Thanks, Mum..." James said and then stood up shaking his head. "Emma, let's go to the next floor please," he said as he picked Miracle up. Nyx's eyes were glued to the portal as she entered, and after a few seconds, she saw the image change and turned back to Thanatos, closing the window.
"I won't be here for a while, I've got a few words to say to my father, son," Nyx said abruptly and then left the hall.
The gods and goddesses of Olympus were visible all around. Every one of them had heard Erebus' screams from inside the hall. Even if no one knew what had caused Erebus, whose entire being trembled with fear, to become like that, it was still clear to them that things were serious.
On top of that, every single personality who saw Nyx's facial expression was freezing. Nyx's expression, who loved to spread happiness and embraced everyone like a mother, was killing everyone without killing them.
"Lady Nyx...Are you alright?" Demeter suddenly asked, but she received no answer in return, Nyx's anger was enormous and there was only one person to whom this anger was imposed:
[Chaos]
When Nyx had come to her temple, she had opened a portal that led to the house of Chaos, to the top of the tower, to the place James had intended to reach one day.
Passing through the portal, Nyx looked around for a while, she couldn't see her father anywhere, but it was impossible not to feel his presence.
"Father," Nyx said in an angry tone, the depth of her speech evident even in her simple tone.
Chaos appeared after those words, looking strangely sad, as if he didn't want to have this conversation at all.
