In a magnificent hall, five figures were kneeling in front of huge golden throne which was located on a stage that was far about them.
On that throne a middle aged man in a white robe was frowning at the group who were kneeling in front of him. He had a white beard which was abnormally large for a normal human. He had complete blue eyes and lightning was crackling all over his body. all over his body. His aura was so much powerful and ancient that with just a look at him, anyone could understand that he was definitely a king, and a powerful one at that.
" So you are saying, you killed Luke Whitestone by stabbing him with the Spear of Justice and destroyed the Devil's tower?" He asked in a hoarse voice.
" Yes, my Lord, we saw his body disintegrating in to ashes by the curse of the spear. And I apologize for my lack of power to destroy the statue of that evil goddess."
" Hahaha, you think a mere human like you would be able to destroy her mark of power? You are overestimating your little ability. Look at that. Hahaha, even I can't destroy that." Zeus laughed. Yes, this was the king of all the gods, Zeus.
" I'm surprised to hear that damn boy, didn't even resist your attack!"
" My Lord, as I said previously, he didn't have any cosmic energy running inside his body. And we checked it even after his death. We confirmed that, his soul had also destroyed because of the power of the spear." Arnold replied.
" If you say so. Then let it be." He flicked his hand and the Spear of Justice which had been lying on the floor next to kneeling Arnold, flew towards him and disappeared to thin air.
Arnold sighed heavily looking at this scene. He loved, the feeling of touching the spear and fighting with it. Even though Zeus had promised, one day Arnold would be the sole owner of it, it seems he had no idea of giving it to him. But what could he do? Ask the king of gods to keep his promise. No, he loved his life more than the spear.
" You can go now."
Arnold's group got up and bowed and went.
Shortly after they left, black mist surged from the ground near Zeus.
" You heard that, right? Are you satisfied now?"
From the pitch black mist a figure of a man appeared. He didn't reveal himself completely by covering his body with the black energy waves. His eyes were glistening with red and they were emitting a vicious aura of a horrendous beast.
" We can't have any loose ends. It's better to be cautious."
" You are really afraid of your ex-wife, aren't you? To think the fearsome god of darkness is afraid of a woman, that's really something."
" Well, if you are sure, that you have enough strength to defeat her, why did you ask help from me in the first place." Anger was clearly mixed with Erobos's voice.
Zeus felt he had touched something sensitive with Erobos. He didn't want to be an enemy of Erobos. After all he was the trump card he could use against Nyx.
"That bitch is a headache. When will this damn spear be strong enough to kill her?"
" Soon. It's still in the developing stage. Besides we have tested it a few times before, no? Just give it some time and it will be ready by the time you need it. After all we are trying to kill a primordial god, here."
" Hmm, I really hope it will be ready, when I want it."

" My Lord! Thank you for granting me a bit of your power to this servant of yours. My soul, my body and my whole existence will be always for you forever."
Sasha was kneeling in front of Luke in one leg with a fist on the ground.
" Get up Sasha. You don't have to call me my lord this, my lord that, just call me boss and that's enough."
" As you wish, boss."
This was the extreme authority of his power over the all living beings in the entire universe.
The person who gets permission to use even a little of his power becomes a loyal servant of his. That's the power of Origin. That's the power of the god of beginning and the end.
Hearing her loyal words, a wicked smile came upon his face. A wicked smile on an extremely handsome godly face; that was the smile of the devil.
From the moment he awakened as the god of origin, he understood several things. First, he understood as the god of origin he had a great responsibility of keeping the universe in check with the help of the power of balance. Second, he can't do these things alone, he needed a few capable servants. Third, and most important one was the current gods were so much corrupted and had to be erased and new gods should be made for keeping the order of the universe. Of course, there were so many gods in the whole universe, but he decided to start from cleaning where he was familiar with.
So, his first target was Athena, daughter of Zeus. And when he was thinking about how to get into the base without suspicion, he crossed paths with the highest general of the Army of Athena. He felt so lucky.
" Take me to your camp. I want to meet with your superior."
" Okay, boss."
Even though, Athena was a major god among the Greek gods, in this era of power she was pushed over, because of her weak strength and influence of her power. In front of absolute power wisdom or war strategy could do nothing. So, Athena's faction ranked the lowest among the faction ranking. The chosen from Athena's faction was never included in top hunting teams except Sasha. This was the reason, she was considered as the most powerful chosen from the Athena's faction.
" Boss, we are near the gate."
" Alright, you go ahead. I will meet you outside."
Luke watched Sasha reaching the gate and talking with a soldier for some time. Then she got into the a 4 × 4 cab and drove off. At that moment Luke disappeared into thin air, and the next moment he was in the seat which was next to Sasha's driving seat.
" Everything okay, boss?"
" Yeah. I'm fine."
As the gate was controlled by the faction of Zeus he didn't want to arouse suspicion of him and Sasha. He wanted to take the control of Athena's faction without too much sound.
Now, you may begin to wonder why the most powerful god of the universe had to act so much discreetly if he was so strong.
The reason was simple. He wanted to avoid unnecessary war. This clash was between him and the gods. Not between him with the other beings. Not even with the monsters.
Imagine if he directly went to kill Zeus, and imagine if he succeeded. Then what would happen? Will the other gods just sit and watch idly, accepting their death is on its way? That's why he wanted to do this without much attention.
After 4 hours of driving they reach the Base of Athena.
Athena's base was situated far away from the Royal Capital Base. It was located in a rural mountainous area known as the Eagle's Peak. Despite it was the lowest ranking base in the whole universe, he saw how much the temple of Athena; the known name for the Base of Athena, was protected.
First there was a huge wall surrounding the whole Temple, with thousands of guards on it. The whole building was white in colour and when he used his divine sense around the area he saw thousands of hidden traps all around this region. He was amazed by how meticulous the layout of the traps were.
' Hmm, Athena's skills are not bad. This is unexpected.'
The cab reached the entrance to the base.
One of the guards, who were on duty at the gate reached the cab and the moment he saw who was inside the cab he became frozen as if he had seen a ghost.
" Ge..General Sasha? Is it really you?" He screamed.
" I see you like to scream, how about you go and scream my name for two hours right here?"
" I apologize, general. I was just excited to see you! We thought you were-"
" Dead?"
The soldier lowered his head in embarrassment.
" On the way, I always wondered why I didn't get any help from the base."
Soldier continued to look at the ground.
" Tell me, it was that bastard, right?"
He slowly looked at her and murmured, " Yes General, he said... he said they saw you dying with the fight of the hydra.. so he said there was no point of sending reinforcement.."
" Damn it, Karl. Look how I am going to fuck your whole life!"
She slammed on the accelerator and the cab shot towards the gate.
" It's General Sasha, open the gate."
Every soldier froze for a few seconds and then everyone ran towards the gate. By the time they reached the gate, they saw the cab driving through the entrance, at maximum speed.
" Sorry, boss I really wanted to know what was going on here!"
Luke silently nodded.
