Chapter 39 - Chapter 38: Answer of the past

Hopelo gys hope that you have been well, due to the encouragement of a reader I am back to writing this story, hope that you will like it, thanks.")

In every corner of the underworld, chaos was unleashed.

"The gate of Tartarus is opening!" they said, looking toward the massive and Harrowing door made of bone of all types of living creatures andsaidcreaming faces leading to the darkest and most dangerous place in the world.

"Quickly to the gate of Tartarus," one of the judges of the underworld shouted "We may still be able to stop him,"

"No!" Hades interrupted,

"We need to regain control of the underworld, Typhoon was brought here by Zeus, this is a declaration of war we need to prepare for the next phase," he replied surprising all the gods around him

They were all skeptical, but remembering that Typhoon was brought into the underworld by a massive lightning bolt, they all sprang into action, understanding that it was only the beginning.

From where they were, they saw how the creatures, the beast's wave Typhoon, had changed to rush into the door of Tartarus.

"Let's clean up here," Hades said as he looked at the destruction that Typhoon had caused in a few minutes

"You will pay for this Zeus,"

Now that Typhoon had escaped they all expected that things would become more manageable.

Unfortunately for the peoples of the underworld Maeron was far from been done with them.

"What is it? What is happening?" Hades said as he felt a shift in the air.

Looking around him the king of the underworld tried to find the source of this shift, and soon he did.

His eyes turned toward a certain point where his people hobbled together screaming in pain in pain due to the poison that was Typhoon blood when.

'Tear'

A massive horizontal rift in space appeared behind the injured gods; for an instant, the world stood still before.

a massive ball of fire shot out of the dimensional tear

"Boom," a massive explosion engulfed the screaming gods silencing them forever,

"Arghhh," with a booming war cry, hundreds of Titans emerged from the rift, killing everything in their path.

"It is only the beginning," Akashi's voice resounded in the underworld.

As if on cue, thousands of special rifts appeared randomly in the underworld, the horde of Titans, giants, and monsters unleashing utter devastation on their path, killing everything alive.

…..

In Olympus, all the gods, prominent or not, found themselves looking in the direction where their kings had left.

His departure had been so hastened and frantic that everyone, even Ares, on Earth, had noticed him.

Now everyone looked at him as he arrived where he had imprisoned Typhoon all those years ago.

After Typhoon was freed the place was now revealing its true appearance.

"What is that?" One of the gods asked looking at the mountain in front of him

"What is that horror? Even from here, I feel an overwhelming sense of disgust,"

"Look at all that miasma,"

"Do you also feel that creepiness,"

"…"

All the gods were filled with a sense of horror when they looked at the environment in front of them.

The dead vegetation, the red ground that seems to be oozing blood, the miserable state of the few living creatures that had managed to survive there and had suffered horrifying mutation. As a result it, and that aura of death are capable of giving goosebumps to even gods.

Everything there seems to be an insult to the living and the gods themselves.

As they wondered what had caused all that, their gazes fell toward their frantic king, who appeared to be in a trance.

"No, no, no, no, no! It can't be I didn't free him! I didn't unleash that monster! What happened? What happened here?"

Zeus mumbled as he flew inside, his gaze taking everything in, his senses sweeping everywhere.

Soon, he reached a place that he knew very well but hadn't visited in years; it was here that he had imprisoned Typhoon.

The place had changed so much that he didn't recognize it anymore; the walls made of earth seemed to have rotten under the effect of the miasma saturating the place.

"Is it how he escaped?" he pondered out loud lifting his eyes toward the barriers that had been erected here, a barrier that he was sure should have trapped Typhoon here for another five thousand years without trouble.

"No!" he exclaimed looking at the flickering barrier that had been torn apart.

"He was here. He should be here! I left him here!" he said getting inside the now empty cave.

Zeus stood in that cave immobile for a few agonizing minutes his mind in turmoil.

'He escaped. How? It is not supposed to happen,' he mumbled, standing on the scorched ground of the cave.

After a while, his eyes snapped toward a certain direction, and there, he felt something.

'Divine energy. It is faint, but I can feel it. I know that energy. Yes, the person hides their presence well, but I can feel it. He was rescued,'

"But by who?"

While Zeus was standing still, examining and analyzing the situation, the gods were observing his every gesture and listening to his every word; even Ares had paused his war and was now standing with the other gods of Olympus, hoping to understand the situation.

After all, something capable of making the king of the gods panic like that couldn't be anything good.

By now it was obvious to them that their king knew what was happening.

"What the hell is fucking happening right now?"

A god is incapable of supporting the unbearable silence that had befallen the always noisy Mount Olympus asked loudly.

It was at that moment that Hera, the queen of the gods, one of the only two who really knew what had happened there and had been relishing the uneasiness that had permeated the air of Olympus, gracefully floated at the edge of Olympus.

Her presence made every god present look at her with a mix of fear and respect something that would have been impossible a few months ago,

She looked below without saying a word, let a few uncomfortable seconds pass in complete silence where everyone patiently held their breath before saying in a low voice

"Typhoon!"

The word was said barely above a whisper, but every god present heard her, and soon chaos erupted.

Everyone from the lowest to the highest ranks knew about Typhoon, the god eater that had terrorized the gods at some point.

Some of the oldest gods had whiteness and remembered the terror of the monster that was Typhoon.

When panic started to set among the gods, the beautiful voice of Athena resounded as the beautiful goddess, cladded in her golden armor, walked toward Hera with the rest of her siblings and all the members of the Zeus faction.

"How is that possible, I thought that the god eater had been killed,"

Hera threw them a brief dirty glance before her gaze returned to Zeus.

"How would I know, I too thought that he had been eliminated all those years ago. You should ask your father he seems to know more about what is happening than I could ever tell you,"

At her response, everyone once again turned their gaze toward Zeus.

And that was the reason Hera had appeared here, to make sure that the anger of the gods was directed toward their incompetent King.

At that point, it was obvious that Zeus was the one who could answer their questions

But not everyone was satisfied with that answer; some wanted more answers, and they made their voice heard.

"What do you mean you don't know, How is it possible that you do not know if that monster had been destroyed or not, you were there,"

A tired voice belonging to an old god who had witnessed his friends being devoured by Typhoon during the old war shouted in anger.

That sentence was enough to rally the others, who started to demand an explanation.

A displeased expression crossed the otherworldly beautiful face of the queen of Olympus

Glancing at the old man from the corner of her eye she said in a tranquil voice "Silence,"

"Tap," That single sentence forced the old god on his knee while all the other shut their mouth.

This demonstration once again reminded everyone of how powerful Hera had become.

At that moment two now gods made their appearance next to Hera.

But at that moment two new powerful aura manifested themselves beside Hera.

A beautiful goddess of petite stature, red hair, and a warm aura appeared from a beautiful flame on her left, and a handsome blue-haired man holding a golden trident appeared from a droplet of water on her right.

It was Poseidon and her sister...

"Do you see that?" Hera asked her siblings even though she already had the answer when they appeared beside her without even bothering to lift her head. After all, none of them were in the mood.

"Is it really the aura of Typhoon as I thought?"

Everyone stayed still waiting for their answers.

After a few seconds, they responded in unison

"Yes, there is no doubt, this is Typhoon,"

That answer crushed the hopes of so many gods that it seemed to develop a mental breakdown here and there.

"But how is it possible?" Athena asked once more

"The god eater is supposed to have been eliminated by my father,"

"He had been defeated, but in truth, none of us saw it been eliminated; only Zeus could attest to it, and we took his word for it. I see now that it was a mistake,"

Poseidon said gripping his trident with more strength

"What do you mean none of you saw it? You were there, and you battled it. How can you say that you didn't see it being eliminated? It makes no sense," Ares said, and everyone inquired.

Hera didn't bother responding, she didn't want to make a mistake and appear too eager to throw Zeus to the crowd so she remained silent

Seeing everyone waiting for an answer, Poseidon started to talk.

"We don't have time to recount the entire story, in short after battling the monster Typhoon for days we were all on our last leg, during the last hours of the fight we realized something, we realized that if things continued as they were we were going to lose and been devoured, so, we came up with a strategy to de,feat him. A very simple but effective strategy."

"…That strategy was to transfer all our rea maining energy to Zeus so that he can destroy Typhoon."

"You have ,to understand that even though he was massive Typhoon was still incredibly fast and had many other techniques that he had stolen from the gods that he had devoured at the time, the only one between us we could trust to deliver an attack powerful enough before Typhoon had the time to react was Zeus."

"So this is what we did, we entrusted him with all our energy and as expected the attack that he unleashed was so powerful and fast that Typhoon was struck before he could react, the last thing that we saw before losing consciousness was the beast defeated form as it fell on the ground."

"When we woke up hours later Zeus assured us that he had made sure that not even a single scale of the monster remained, of coursed we believed him, we had no reason not to, until now,"

Once Poseidon finished everyone understood the truth and their gaze once again fell toward their king that was pacing below, but this time their gaze contained an anger and distrust that was never there.

"I see now that it was a mistake to trust Zeus even then, he kept the monster alive all this time. He imprisoned it, and today it escaped. Now the question is where is that monster now?" Hera said

The moment she asked that as if responding to her question the entire world started to shift, an ominous energy seemed to engulf the entire world as a space rift connecting the realm of the gods, humans, the underworld and Tartarus opened everywhere.

On land, sea, sky and from there all their old enemies, followed by all manners of monsters and eveil creatures walked out.

At that instant the world hold its breath before hell was unleash on her.

"There he is!"
