nI then appeared in a room of stone, kneeling at the foot of a throne made of blades. Every single inch of those sharpened pieces of metal was enough to make anybody kneel just from their divine power.

nAnd then, the man sitting atop that throne was a man with short black hair and fiery red eyes. His long dark red beard neatly drooped to the very edge of his lap. His light brown skin complemented the fire erupting from behind him.

n“I apologize for what had happened. You may have been part of a simulation, but we did use your real soul. We may have cleared any previous memories of what had happened before the target was placed inside, but I’m glad you found some kind of peace as you died.”

n“So I was just a pawn in your plan?” I asked, expecting to hear him explode with anger… yet it was different as opposed to how the other gods described him.

n“Well, not my plan,” Ares muttered, his eyes falling to the woman as tall as me and with long white hair and eyes shuffling with seemingly hundreds of pupils. “Arachne… this was a good plan of yours… I wonder when you started putting it in place.”

n(Orion POV)

nAs his life drifted away before my very eyes, Wu dropped to her knees, a single tear sliding down her cheek as she stared at the limp corpse.

n“It’s… it’s all my fault for getting tricked by that woman… it’s all my fault,” Wu muttered, her pupils dilating while her lips began to quiver.

nHer slender hand reached out towards the general’s cheek, but before she could touch it, I caught her hand.

n“You’ve proved your point….”

n“Huh? Orion… what are you talking about?” Wu responded as my eyes sharped, glaring at the clouds above.

nThere was one singular cloud that hadn’t moved in the slightest for the past few minutes, and it only stiffened further as I glared up at it.

n“As by the god’s law, all witnesses will have their memory cleared of such an event. Unfortunately, your loss cannot be reversed.” A man cloaked in white stepped beside me, his eyes clearly looking down on me.

nHis words seemed to be thoughtful and kind, but the feeling that I got from him was like that of a god looking down on an ant. He was no different than the people he served.

n“YOU’VE PROVED YOUR POINT!” I shouted at the top of my lungs, and just like that, the cloud I was watching split open, revealing a man with long white hair, sparkling white eyes enhanced by long white eyelashes, and a body so pale you’d think he hadn’t seen the sun in millennias.

nHis smile was wide with anticipation. His fingers twitched with excitement. His body twitched and cracked with adrenaline.

nEvery single jerk of his body caused a massive quantity of mana to gather around the man, sucking everything and everyone it could toward him. 𝑶𝚟𝓵xt.𝐂𝑶𝓜

nA massive updraft of wind attempted to carry all of us up, and the apostles that had come down from Olympus attempted to talk it through with him.

n“IF YOU DARE TO DO THIS, THE OLYMPIANS WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU! YOU ARE ALREADY ON THEIR BLACK LIST! IF YOU FREE ATHENA FROM HER CHAINS, YOU WILL BECOME PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE TO THE ENTIRETY OF OLYMPUS!”

n“Kekekeke… I only came for the boy. It seems he’s the center of attention within Olympus… but it seems I also came at a troublesome time… I think I will… kekekeke… Why not free her while I’m at it?” The god’s smile widened even further.

nIn the palm of his right hand, a clock appeared engraved into his skin. The big hand slowly began to reverse in the opposite direction, causing my body to move on its own, all while I kept my intact consciousness.

nAll of the previous thoughts I had felt like they were disappearing, but worst of all, I witnessed just how the general had died.

nVWOOP

n…

n“*cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*… Ugh, my chest- *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*.”

nI woke up to a string of coughs fighting to take my breath away. It took a while to cough up whatever was making me heave so much, but eventually, I got the bits of black goo out of my chest.

n“Huff… huff… huff… what… the hell?”

nAs I took a look around, I found myself in a black void with the broken remains of some kind of fallen castle floating through the endless space. But that wasn’t the strangest part. Cats. Literal cats were floating around, effortlessly swimming through the space.

nSome came over to the remaining bit of stone brick I was laying on and rubbed themselves against my cheek, slithering around my neck and nudging their adorable three eyed faces into my chest.

n“No… I don’t want these **ing rewards… don’t give me these rewards….” I muttered, swiping away the panels floating in front of me. “HEY! IS ANYBODY HERE?!”

nMy lungs felt as if they were going to burst from just one shout, forcing me to take a step back and slowly calm my breathing.

nA skill book appeared in my lap, flashing with a stain of blood before returning to normal. I felt like throwing up as the leathery feeling grazed the tips of my fingers, yet… I couldn’t bring myself to chuck it or even attempt to destroy it.

n“*sigh*… is there any way I can see what they do… or are they just cosmetic-”

nI was suddenly cut off by a string of explanations appearing before me. It caught me a bit off guard, but at least this eased my worries for just a moment.
