Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System -
Chapter 82: Three Gods of Olympos
With James holding Nyx's hand, he left the hall and walked out of the palace at the top of Mount Olympus.
As soon as he breathed in the air around him, he realised that his whole body was on fire, and when he stumbled for a few seconds and realised that the Chaos-Born following them wasn't helping, he knew that this wasn't a bad thing for him.
However, James tried to pull himself together a little and began to breathe more regularly. It was not hard to notice that the magical energy in his body was developing rapidly as if his Magic status was improving.
Once he had recovered he was able to stand properly and froze at what he saw with his eyes.
James looked around cautiously and saw that they were above the clouds, but there were so many buildings and such that it was impossible not to get excited. "I'm in a place I've seen in books at school or watched documentaries or even watched films and played games, and I can see everything with my naked eyes."
When James said these words in a very normal voice, it silenced all the voices around, all the Chaos-Borns and all the gods on Olympus seemed to be wondering how they were.
Even though Hades was a little far away from James, he still asked curiously, "What was I like? In the books, I mean."
When James looked at the man in front of him, he didn't seem to realise who he was.
"Aaah...If you don't tell me who you are, it won't be easy for me to tell you." James said, and Nyx, who heard this, approached James and said, "That's young Hades."
James looked at the old man in astonishment after these words and then said, "You, sir, are my third favourite god in all Greek Mythology."
Hearing these words, the gods seemed to be quite surprised, even in the tower, Hades was one of the most unpopular gods, the aggressiveness of his personality and the nature of his magic alienated everyone from him.
"For me, it's Nyx 1, Nemesis 2 and Hades 3, it's always been that way and fate helped me to choose Nyx," James said and continued to speak without stopping:
"Zeus inherited the clouds, Poseidon the waters of the earth and Hades the underworld. The three great regions of Tartarus, Asphodel and Elysium, which signified death, regret and purity, were called by Hades' name."
With these words, James turned around Hades and then added, "He married his niece in a strange and, in my opinion, disgusting way, and while he lived as if he was imprisoned in such a way that he could never get out of the underground, he was still the person who did his duty in the most superior way."
Just as Hades was about to speak, James spoke again:
"Zeus and Poseidon are not worth much in my eyes next to you, sir, after all, one of them rules the seas and tries to destroy everyone beautiful from the seas by being jealous, just like Andromeda. The other one tries to have intercourse with all the women who come his way and ruins the lives of many of them and continues to play god when there is a superior power."
With these words, Poseidon immediately accepted that James was right and stepped aside, while Zeus stepped forward and dared to ask, "Isn't that a little disrespectful, Master James?"
James smiled a little when he heard these words and then said, "I mean, if you stop jumping on every woman you see next time, you might earn my respect, if you think I'm going to respect you just because you're a god, you're very wrong, we humans are notorious for easily gaining faith but instantly turning away from it."
James shrugged his shoulders as Zeus shamefully stepped aside and said, "I'm sorry, but you should all understand, those of you who were born and climbed inside the tower already had godhood, most of you wouldn't even be able to play god if your parents didn't want you to climb and taste power." He looked at the gods around him, including Chaos-Borns, and then said the following words:
"You want respect, perhaps from me, perhaps from those below, perhaps even from those around you. Then work for it. Respect is earned, you can't just expect it to come. Especially you Zeus and people like you, I am a monogamous person so you can't expect me to love or respect you that easily."
Having finished his words, James stopped caring about Zeus and turned to Hades and said, "That's it, to tell you the truth, if I have the chance to go and see the underworld, I would like to go."
"I don't understand, is it because I'm not like my brothers that you love me?" Hades asked and James, hearing this, shook his head left and right and said, "No, the reason I love you is that you fulfil your responsibilities, unlike your brothers.
One is a jealous murderer and the other is a pervert of sorts, you do your job and unlike them, you know how precious love is too even if it is for your niece..."
This seemed to put an end to the matter, all the gods around them fell silent, and the Chaos-Borns and especially Apate could hardly keep themselves from laughing.
With that James started walking, he could see many temples around and he could tell what was going on by the statues in front of them.
"Huh...the temple of Poseidon...I saw it in a documentary, I never thought it would be the same." James suddenly said, touching the statue and looking at the huge temple behind it.
As James was watching the temple, he suddenly saw a road running alongside the temple, he was confused because he remembered this road.
The Philosopher's Stone had shown him not only the place where Nyx and the rest of the family had been slaughtered, but also the path to it, and he couldn't believe that he had found it.
Suddenly he turned towards Nyx and asked her the question:
"My lady, do you know where this path leads?"
