In the middle of the night, Strom God and Zeus darted across the Demon Realm. Strom God feeling the storms not wanting to brew. He had already known about the consequences of the storms.
"The storm is similar to one's heart and mind. If the heart and mind are completely unified and the resolve is strong, the storms are powerful. If the heart and mind are completely unified and the resolve is weak, the storms are weak. If neither is unified, and the resolve is weak, the storms are weak.
If a do or die situation comes up to the Strom God, he can forcefully activate the most powerful storm by cutting his cultivation or using life force.
When you are weak, there is always room to improve. When you strong, you do not know the depths of others because they will not visibly show it to you." The previous Strom God's words echoed in the current Strom God's mind.
As Strom God allowed those words to sink into his mind and heart. The words of those who seemed weak now he knew why they were the way they were.
"Someone will always put us in check when we are overly confident or too strong. The words that have to be passed down to the next Strom God."
As he continued to think in silence, Zeus watched him go from confusion to understanding. He knew that something had triggered inside his mind.
As the duo continued on their journey, a quick stop to eat was in needed. Pulling hoods over their faces they entered a lowly place.
The duo looked around and sat down at the cleanest spot. The place they went to eat all looked afraid for the duo now. As such timing happens, a demon entered in a suit that even the richest would want to waste their entire fortune on.
"Who dares to sit at my table?" The demon growled.
The demon went and pulled the hood off of Zeus. Once he did, Zeus was mad. The demon saw Zeus and immediately bowed in respect.
"Head General of Mistress Lilith, I am pleased to see you here today. Please enjoy my spot while I get someone to partially clean another spot for me." The demon tried to act nice.
He was one of the few who did not like Lilith. It was evident that he was a supporter of those who worked for her.
"Get lost." Zeus replied angrily.
Now that his face had been revealed, getting any information was now out of the option. Yet, the demon still tried to talk to Zeus.
Strom God had enough of the crap and slammed down the demon. Strom God put his foot on the man's shoulder.
"I would not dare to anger him currently. He already has his plate full and the Demon King has told him of stuff to do. Unless you want to be ripped limb from limb in this rundown joint, I suggest you either leave or go upstairs where women are being raped currently."
That was the reason why Zeus was angered. Not because of the jobs but the women being raped. Their muffled screams still entering both Strom God's and Zeus's ears.
"KILL THEM!" Another demon shouted.
Before anyone could advance, Zeus had immediately beheaded everyone.
"You heard the other demon. Kill them." Zeus replied.
Strom God did just that to the demon. The duo went upstairs and freed the women. Some were human, some beastmen, and others demons. While the humans had not yet been touched, their scared eyes revealed all that they needed to know.
"Strom God, make sure these women arrive safely at Lilith's mansion." Zeus ordered.
This joint was the reason why Zeus and Strom God ran. They had to try and take it down before innocent lives were taken.
"I shall make sure." Strom God replied.
With that, Zeus continued to Lilith's mansion. While Strom God got a carriage and some beasts to help carry the women home. He did not rent but bought them. It was extremely expensive but his ride would prove himself worthy to the Demon Realm.
Meanwhile
Zeus continued to run. His long strides seemingly powerful. He never touched the ground. The Lightning Qi barely making him run across the air.
When he arrived at Lilith's mansion. Lilith's attitude was not every pleasant. Of course, once Zeus replied about the joint being slaughtered. Lilith did have a better attitude. She wondered why Zeus did it now knowing that Diablo was in charge of taking it done.
"Strom God needs to learn how to fight for good and not himself. When he fights in a tournament against the top demons. He will have to be faced with that decision.
'If I am weak and unable to prove myself. Why bother showing up? If I am powerful and can fight better against those who wish me harm, what stops me from fighting it?'
Of course, there is more to that saying but it fits him perfectly. Right now, his heart and mind are broken. His storms unable to bear. The only thing truly stopping him from losing the title is his daughter. He will have to showcase either his true strength or his true resolve. Either way, it will be showcased. In two months, that should give him time to come here on carriage and give him roughly three days of rest." Zeus spoke.
"Such good words from my husband's commander in army." Lilith spoke in praise.
Zeus felt that Lilith was not praising him like she used to. Instead the depths of her anger was completely revealed and it's bottom was endless.
"I thank you for your kind words, Mistress Lilith." Zeus replied with the kindness tone.
"Alright. I need you to get this list of stuff done for me by the end of the week." Lilith handed him four different papers.
Zeus read the papers the jobs themselves were not hard but they were long and almost unable to be completed.
"Alright, I will ask Apollo and Hades for the preparation on the tournament and I'll focus on the jobs." Zeus thought.
Lilith already knew Zeus better and decided to allow Apollo and Hades to begin preparation. As for Poseidon, she had another thing for him to do.
