Chereads / GODS Part 1: Black Lights Arc / Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: The Lost City. Atlantis

Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: The Lost City. Atlantis

*A small boat is shown in the city's harbor*

Yohei: *Think* It looks like this quest will be entertaining. Although we were told not to cause a stir, I doubt that the mission will be like that

Aphrodite: Are you sure to go?

Yuki: Yes... I think this mission will help me improve a lot. I'm way behind that idiot, and I can't allow that

Aphrodite: Does it bother you to be behind Eden?

Yuki: Yes, I can't allow a brainless sheep like him to beat me, I won't allow it in any way

*Aphrodite begins to laugh*

Yuki: Be clear, I'm not doing this for you. I still don't like you one bit. I do it for my father and for Naz

Aphrodite: I know. When you're ready, I'll wait for you here for your revenge

Jason: Are you sure about sending a group of teenagers on this mission? It's crazy

Poseidon: There is no other way, this is the only way to avoid so many deaths

Jason: By sacrificing them?

Poseidon: Don't underestimate them, those two have great talent

Jason: Those two? But if there are three, what do you mean?

Poseidon: It's nothing, forget it. Just serve your purpose

Jason: yes, yes, whatever you say

*Poseidon delivers a letter to Jason*

Jason: What is this?

Poseidon: Only in this way will you be able to enter the kingdom. It is a special permission from the king

Jason: Really? How isolated should they be now?

Poseidon: I don't know... I know nothing of that kingdom since the throne was taken from me

Jason: I see... I'll keep you updated on the situation when we're around

Poseidon: Thank you, be careful. I don't know what that bastard will be capable of if he finds out

Jason: If I have to fight, I'll do it

*Everyone on the boat is shown leaving for the sea*

Jason: Well, here's everything you need

*Jason brings out three boxes with instruments*

Yohei: What is this?

Jason: It's a covert mission, these are all the instruments you'll need

Yohei: I think having so many instruments will make us suspicious, we'd better get rid of all this

Jason: So, what do you suggest?

Yohei: With my electricity I can transmit certain signals to their bodies without attracting so much attention. The more things we carry around, the more suspicious we will be, don't you think?

Jason: I see. You might be right. I'll trust you

Jason: And you two, what do you think?

Yuki: yes, yes, let's do what he says

Zef: He may be right

Jason: I don't see them very interested in this

Yohei: I don't blame them, creating plans is not their thing. It's a shame that that guy with the golden eyes isn't here

Jason: Golden eyes? Is there anyone among you who can use God's eyes?

Yohei: Yes, why do you seem surprised?

Jason: That boy will be dangerous if he turns against us

*Yuki and Zef are shown curious*

Yuki: I doubt that's the case, that guy is too upright, to go against his principles

Zef: It wouldn't be surprising, when he activated them in his trial he changed completely

Jason: Change?

Zef: Yes, he became a kind of victory monster, he didn't care about the shape, he wanted to win

Jason: How strange...

*Yohei feels a signal in his body*

*Zef hears a few small whispers*

Yohei and Zef: Watch out!

*Yohei and Zef protect Yuki and Jason*

*Lightning strikes very close to the ship and the sea begins to churn*

Zef: Are you okay?

Yuki: Yes...

Jason: *Think* How is this possible? Why the hell is it night?

Yohei: This doesn't look good at all; it looks like there's going to be a gigantic storm. If we don't get out of this place quickly, we will die

Jason: Yes...

Zef: No way!

Yohei. What the hell are you talking about?!

Zef: We have to resist at any cost, but we can't leave here

Yuki: That's crazy, what are you thinking?

*Jason is shown pensive*

Zef: Please trust me!

Yohei: It's a bad sign, more than 100 lightning bolts are approaching at high speed. In a few minutes we'll be charred if we don't do something

Yuki: Jason!

Yohei: Jason!

Zef: Jason!

Jason: I got it! Do nothing, let the sea do what it wants. Lower the candle, and we'll all go in

All: What?!

Yohei: Damn, if we die, I'll make life miserable for both of you in the other world

*The sails are picked up and the boat begins to shake*

*All lightning strikes very close to the ship leaving it badly damaged

*The ship capsizes in the sea and sinks*

*There is silence after this situation*

*After a few seconds the boat reemerges from the sea, but this time the sky is clear and the sea is calm*

*Everyone is shown surprised and coughing after diving into the sea*

Jason: What the hell was that?

Zef: That storm was not normal, that storm was the door to Atlantis

Jason: What are you talking about? Have you come to Atlantis before?

Zef: No, but someone told me...

Yohei: I hope you're lucky that someone got it right, because if not, I'll kill you

*Everyone steps out of the cabin and sees a clear landscape and a long sea haul*

Jason: Well, it seems that we are not in Atlantis

Zef: I know we're close, I trust them

Jason: Can you tell who gave you that information?

Zef: They *Pointing to the Fish*

Yohei: Now you blame the fish? Have you become an idiot?

Jason: No, he may be right. At the end of it all, he's the son of Poseidon, right?

Yohei: I guess...

Jason: I'm sorry, I see it's a complicated issue. But he may be right, it would not be surprising if he inherited those powers

Yuki: *Think* This ship is full of maniacs

Jason: At the moment it will be better to travel slowly, the ship is not in good condition. Go rest, I'll take care of repairing this

All: Yes

*Several hours pass and Zef is shown observing the sea*

Jason: You seem worried, is something wrong?

Zef: No, it's nothing

Jason: I see. If you need to talk, you can talk to me

Zef: Thank you, but I'm fine

Jason: Okay, I'll go and repair the boat

*Zef's heartbeat begins to accelerate*

*Zef is shown watching the fish*

Zef: *Think* Something is wrong, they are upset, what is happening?

*Zef senses very sudden movements and high speed from the depths*

*In an instant Zef manages to move the ship with his powers and a tentacle breaks a part of the ship*

Zef: *Think* That's been close...

Yohei: What the hell is that thing?!

Yuki: *Think* An octopus? Not too big to be one

*From the depths emerges a gigantic squid head with a terrifying gaze*

*The beast looks intently at Zef*

*Zef listens once that he calls him prince*

Zef: *Think* You?

Yohei: What are they doing standing there?! We have to put an end to that beast

Zef: Stop!

Yohei: What do you want now?!

*Several dolphins can be seen arriving towards the boat*

Yohei: Perfect, more company

*The beast dives and disappears*

*In an instant everyone on the ship is pointed by spears of unknown beings with features of sea beings*

Yohei: *Think* We've been caught off guard

Unknown 36: What are they doing here? Remember that any foreign citizen is forbidden to pass to Atlantis

*Jason makes a move and they point the spears at him*

Jason: Relax, relax, I just want to take a card that's in my pocket

Unknown 36: Remember that we have the right to kill you if you do something stupid

Jason: I know, I'm not an idiot

*Jason takes out the letter and hands it to the stranger*

Jason: We have the king's special permission, please check with your king

*The stranger leaves and begins to speak in a different language*

*The stranger returns and orders everyone to put down their weapons*

Unknown 36: The king has given the go-ahead, as I see that his ship is not in good condition, we will take them, and we will give them a ship later

Jason: Thank you

*Everyone takes their things and gets on the dolphins and is taken to the city*

*After several minutes a gigantic mountain with a port on the outskirts is shown*

Zef: It's nothing, as I expected

Unknown 36: This is just the outer wall, you will know the real Atlantis

*A hole is opened in the outer wall where everyone accesses*

*Little by little the light behind the tunnel illuminates the faces of everyone who is shocked by the city they are witnessing*

Zef: What the hell is this?

*A channel is shown where they go and several faces on a large vegetation and several walls ahead*

Yohei: *Think* This place is gigantic...

Unknown 36: Soon we will arrive at the center where our king is waiting for you, I hope you enjoy the trip

*An aerial view of the city is shown, being a very extensive territory, surrounded by 3 gigantic circles of land and water*

Triton: *Think* So you sent my little brother in your place, you haven't changed, you're still a coward, father
