Chapter 222: Impending Doom
[Underworld.]
[Hades' Castle.]
***Why did you summon us, Hades?*** A woman with long green hair and eyes asked in mild displeasure.
The silver hair man sitting on the throne laughed out loud! ***Goddess Gaea, My plan worked! Those fools had finally upgraded the artifact!***
***How is that beneficial to us? Upgrading the Artifact will only create the path to godhood to the mortals... And let me remind you, that'll hinder Typhon's main plan.*** Gaea said, a frown settling on her face.
***I know that!*** Hades stood up, and walked towards a figure with split pupils. ***Echidna here opened a gateway sending her Commander through, although the Artifact was active, she achieved this; What do you think will happen if the Artifact is down for five seconds?*** He stopped in front of Echidna.
***What is your main plan?*** Moros, the primordial deity of impending Doom asked.
Hades turned to him: ***We'll open as much gateway as we can in the first Realm, and try to use the Abyssal Gates in the fourth Realm, we must conquer these realms before freeing Typhon.*** He turned to Echidna, with a smile on his face.
Moros who was in a dark armor, and a red cape behind him, stood up. ***My Sisters, the Fates, and the Kares will assist you in this, Maybe you can send them too.***
***The Fates and Kares plays an important role, we can't send them... I'll send Orthus, the brother of my pet; Cerberus.*** He turned to Echidna. ***I know he's one of your children, so I'll ask for your permission.***
***Orthus has always wanted to eat Mortals, he'll like to go, and don't dare call my child your pet again.*** Echidna warned.
***My apologies.*** Hades bowed at her, and turned to Deimos, who was the personification of Terror.
***Your twin brother is with your father, Ares, in the war... You have always asked to join this war, right?***
***Yes, Lord Hades.*** Deimos quickly stood up.
***Take the Stymphalian Birds, the Geryons, goblins, Ogre and Kobold, We must crush the first Realm before any Mortal can ascends into godhood.***
***It'll be done.*** Deimos said with a smile.
***Mother, I should go with them.***
The gods and Monsters turned to the half woman and half snake, who has snakes as hair.
***Not Allowed.*** Echidna shook her head. ***You and your two sisters are important here.*** she added.
***Your mother is right, Medusa. You, Stheno and Euryale are needed here to control the abyss, and also keep an eye on Campe... She might have joined us, but is still loyal to Tartarus... Although we killed him--***
***--You can't Kill a Primordial god, you can only destroy our bodies, but the soul will be safe.*** Gaea cut him off. ***Speaking of the Abyss, When are you going to free my children, the Titans?*** she asked.
Hades walked back to his throne, and sat down: ***I know your mission goddess Gaea, but your children are sealed in the deepest part of the abyss, only Zeus and Tartarus can reach that depth, not even us.***
***I might have a solution to that.*** Echidna smiled, then snapped her finger. The next moment; Michael appeared in front of them.
***Who is this?*** Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution and revenge, asked with a smile.
***Don't think of anything funny, Nemesis. He's Michael, This mortal Is responsible for killing Dracula... And he used powers belonging to the Abyss, so he might have a strong bond with it.*** Echidna stated. While Nemesis rolled her eyes.
***If that's true, We need him.*** Gaea stood up.
***You can't enter the first Realm, goddess Gaea.*** Thanatos, the daemonic representation of death, said.
***I know that, but don't forget I'm the mother of Typhon, and Tartarus you fools killed is my husband... I'm just doing this to free my children, that didn't mean I'm 100% with you in this war... So I'll help you all till my children are set free... Echidna.***
***Yes, mother-in-law?*** Echidna quickly answered.
***Send the Queen-Spidax(s).***
***How many should I send, Mother?***
***All of them, place the gateway on Amerisa, and bring me this mortal.*** Gaea pointed at Michael.
***As you wish, Mother.*** Echidna bowed her head.
***Hahaha! This is good! Let go all out! The Giants will be happy to join this battle!!*** Moros said with a smile. ***What do you think goddess Gaea?*** he added.
***The Giants are one of my loyal children, But they'll be more than happy to go.*** Gaea nodded.
***Good! We must see to the end of the first Realm, and those puny angels won't be able to help with my Hellions keeping them busy.*** Hades grinned.
***How many gates are we opening?*** Eris, the goddess of chaos, strife, and discord, asked.
***I'm thinking Ten.***
***Ten? I thought you want to see to the destruction of the first Realm? So why only ten?*** she asked with a slight frown.
***Hahaha!! Zeus should be happy having a daughter like you! Fine then, we'll be opening 25 gates, is that enough?*** Hades asked.
Eris smiled at him, being the goddess of Chaos, why won't she be happy?
***Good.*** she nodded in approval.
***Today, we set the destruction of the First, and sixth Realm.*** Hades said with a pleased expression, flashing a smile to his wife, the Queen of the underworld; Persephone.

[Gods' Realm.]
"My Love, What are you doing under the oak tree?"
Erebus looked up seeing Nyx descending towards him.
"It's just..." He sighed. "Aren't we good parents?" He asked.
"What?" Nyx slowly landed on the ground, her long black hair flowing in the wind.
"Why did half of our children joined Hades?" Erebus asked with a solemn expression.
"They made their choice, Love. And we made ours." She walked towards him, and hug his waist, resting her head on his back.
"True."
"Forget all this, Now; Which mortal caught your eyes?"
"The mortal who has been with a sliver of my divinity." Erebus answered with a smile.
"You know giving him your blessing will increase his powers, even without playing what they calls VRG."
"I know, Love. What about you?" Erebus held her hands, then turned around to face her.
"I don't know yet." Nyx smiled slightly.
"Ok, but I'm mostly worried about the first Realm, what if Hades opened gates that the Mortals can't close?"
"I think that's why we're giving them our blessings."
Hearing his consort, Erebus nodded with a smile.
"You're right."
