Chapter 3022: The Movement of the Titans II

SLAP!

A loud sound of flesh being hit could be heard in the room as the Grand Mage Fanatic that escaped returned to the place where all the acolytes are gathered. The one who slapped him was none other than the Doulos chosen by the Titan King Kronus himself. Stagnant Water did not hold back that slap because he was commanded by the Titan King Kronus to.

Even if the Grand Mage Fanatic found a way to create the Gate of Tartarus, the failure for fully mining the titan remains and the lost of numerous acolytes needed to be punished. The only reason that a slap was his punishment is due to the fact that he contributed a lot and also, he found a way to create the Gate of Tartarus.

The Grand Mage Fanatic did not raise his head upon getting hit because it would reveal his face that was molded in pure anger and hatred. The Grand Mage Fanatic always hated Stagnant Water because he was the one that became the leader of the organization despite the former being the oldest servant that is still alive. The Grand Mage Fanatic wanted to kill Stagnant Water when this was announced but he was a blessed one.

"If that bastard did not have the blessing of revival, then I would have killed him already. Do not worry, you bastard! I will find a way to kill you permanently so that blessing of yours that is ingrained in your soul will never revive you!" The Grand Mage Fanatic thought as he gripped his staff to prevent himself from lashing out.

"Do not be angry that I slapped you. That is merely the punishment that you deserve for abandoning the mining operation. It is a huge loss on our side that you have not taken all of the ores that were transformed from a dead titan’s remains. The next part of your punishment is to handle the research for the Gate of Tartarus.

The Titan King Kronus has commanded me to make sure that you have the resources for this to succeed. Still, make no mistake because I shall be the one in charge of supervising you. You are not allowed to massacre an entire village just to test it. All of your movements from now on needs my approval." Stagnant Water stated.

The Grand Mage Fanatic could only grip his staff even tighter that his hands started to get injured. Stagnant Water could see this and he actually enjoyed it very much. The player that was cowardly and only went with the orders of those better than him has suddenly enjoyed the feeling he gets when he abuses power. The Titans do not have any warning to Stagnant Water as all they need is results and could care less for the other Doulos.

"Do you understand!" Stagnant Water asked with a slightly louder tone this time as he wants to really humiliate the NPC before him as he also knows the intentions of the one before him.

Stagnant Water knows that the NPC Doulos hate him because he has taken their place. They have lived longer than him but he was suddenly chosen as the one to lead them until the Titans return back to the mortal realm. He did not mind that they hated him though as he only cares about the result and he could just get revived when killed unlike them.

"In the end, I will be the only one that will outlive all of you since dying would be permanent for all of you." Stagnant Water thought as he began to devise the new plans moving forward as the titans told them to stay lowkey for now.

Adrian finally returned to the guild and found out that the dungeons are actually very profitable. The sudden flow of income has greatly reduced the burden that he needed to think about which is why he decided it was time to convene the gods of life and death. He needed to tell them what needs to done against the forces moving for the release of the Titans in Tartarus.

"Since this involves Tartarus, this no longer just concerns the mortal realm. Even the death realms will be affected if they truly escape Tartarus." Adrian thought as he entered a door that has many symbols of death carved on the frame.

As soon as he entered, the world suddenly flipped over and he is in a room that is just one long white table. The floor is made out of black liquid that ripples with each step and numerous chairs with bones as a backboard could be seen. The sky looked bleak but calm at the same time which soothes the souls of those that enter this place.

Adrian then proceeded to go to the chair at the very middle where it is filled with even more bones compared to the others. This was clearly the seat of power and he is the only one that is currently worthy to sit there. He is the Mediator of Death and he has learned information that might endanger the death realm.

As soon as Adrian sat down, the other chairs suddenly got pulled a bit and then figures or silhouettes of the gods of death appeared before him. All of them bowed towards Adrian as he is not in his demon form currently because he is in his Lord of Limbo form. This means that he is not here to ask as a demon but to ask as the Lord of Limbo.

Other gods of death would have joked around or two if they saw Adrian in his demon form but they all turn serious in his Limbo form. They all knew that this council meeting was not light in any case because the mediator appeared in his form that means all seriousness. Even the gods of death could become tense when the Mediator of Death has gone quiet as he waited for the others to arrive.

"We greet the Mediator of Death!" All of the gods of death’s silhouettes greeted as they gave a slight bow to Adrian.

"No need for other formalities. Please sit down because we need to discuss this." Adrian stated and the other gods of death complied without any comment.

"I found this on the bottom of the Sea of Monsters near where Charybdis’ lair is. It is something that has been mined by enslaved monsters. Can anyone tell me what this is?" Adrian stated as he flicked the ore and it appeared before all of the silhouettes of the gods of death.

All of the gods of death looked at the ore but even they were unable to tell what it is now. They all checked the ore with all their intelligence but they cannot name this ore. Only when the God of Death Hades’ silhouette brushed against it did the ore suddenly felt relevant.

Adrian smiled but it was not seen as he is currently in a form where his face is an endless void. He then focused his attention to the God of Death Hades. He knew that this god might actually have very useful information. He already has a small possible idea on what this ore is but he needed someone to verify it that has firsthand experience.

"Is this stone familiar, God Hades?" Adrian asked.

The God of Death Hades exhaled as if he was trapped in a tormenting mental dream. He needed to be sure the ore that Adrian picked is truly that. The silhouette of the God of Death Hades suddenly muttered a spell for a few seconds. The silhouette then glowed in this light that would blind a normal person if they were to see.

"Seeing as you came in person, this means that you are already sure onto what that is." Adrian asked.

"The mediator is correct because this is not an ore but that might be what they call them. Still, this is not something that should be in the mortal realm anymore. The Olympians made sure to sweep the world to make sure that no such thing would be possible to be taken. This is the crystalized blood and bone of a fallen deceased titan." The God of Death Hades stated.

All of the gods of death are shocked to see that there is still a remnant of deceased titans in the mortal realm. They are powerful remnants that could give incredible power to the mortals if they learn to refine it. Adrian then proceeded to tell the complete story.

"It seems that my fears are true. Is this enough evidence to condemn the Titans in Tartarus even more?" Adrian asked.

"Unfortunately, it is not enough. We will need the statement of souls that are related to them. Tartarus could not use its power to punish if there is no justification." The God of Death Hades stated.

"If that is the case, I cannot give the souls because those that died had all their souls tampered with. They have become souls that hold no memory which means they were prepared." Adrian stated.
