I went back and Hades asked me, "Why did you want the Mati, it can only cause destruction?". "Because I need to destroy someone but they have an army" I said.
"Who is it you need to destroy?" he said leaning back.
"The king of Ithaca" I said. That was a lie but he and the King of Thebes where related so I couldn't tell him. The next morning came and I left the underworld. It was nice to meet them but I couldn't waste time there any longer. I came back inside the carriage and ordered to return back to Thebes. Now the invasion would start. I knew the general area and it was a circle with four entrances so I would split the army to fit inside. The grand elder was probably there in the tower so I was gonna bring my strongest soldiers with me to storm the towers. Then I'd kill the King with my own hands.
We crossed the border in about a week and now we had to walk to Thebes or take boat. We opted to take boats which took most of our money. I still had Athena's sword and planned to kill him with it since it was stronger than my dagger and he was probably a God. Gods could only be killed by other Gods or things made by Gods so the dagger wouldn't work since it was made in the underwater city. I would get revenge on that bastard for killing my mother. An eye for an eye. Now I had the power of ninety thousand soldiers which surpassed Thebes and my equipment could compete with theirs. Victory was mine.
Some time passed and we reached the continent. Now the invasion was just weeks away. I was now thinking about how I'd kill him. I'd probably torture him and slice his limbs then slice his throat. I still had to be careful of the soldiers since they could eat me with their powerful jaws but now I was stronger. I could easily kill them with Athena's sword. I had all of the necessary for killing them. I planned to leave Han and Pearl temporarily for their child's safety so I made their carriage diverge from us with Achilles.
Finally after three weeks, we arrived at Thebes. I split the army in four while in the forest and let the eye out. It shot out a laser which pierced the black tower. The soldiers rushed in. I'd told them to not attack civilians for obvious reasons and instead target soldiers. Thebes' soldiers rushed in but were outmatched. The eye wreaked havoc on them and I could control it so I mainly aimed for the tower. I rushed into the tower and was confronted by some soldiers. I slashed their heads open and kept running up the stairs. Suddenly, in front of me a monster appeared. It was the same one from the time I fell off the tower. I slashed it's neck down to it's tail and let the rest of my soldiers finish it. I climbed up and was now in the floor where I was kidnapped. I went in the room with the cauldron and saw the souls inside. I turned back and there he was running off.
(This chapter is short because I'd rather have the final moments be their own chapter).
