ENDLESS MYTH : Surpassing The Gods.

LITTLE PARADISE

Sol and the other two were running ahead at full speed. Right now, the situation was dire. They needed to use each little bit of time as if it was more precious than gold.

After a few seconds of running, they reached the place where the shot come from. There, a girl was standing on a three, a huge rifle pointed toward them.

"I was wondering who was coming here. So it's you. Sol Heracles."

Sol looked up to her.

"White..."

Alex blushed a little when she heard this.

"Get down!!! He is seeing your panty"

"So?"

This answer stumped her. Yes so? Finally, she shrugged and took a step back. If the one who was being seen didn't mind, who was she to b.u.t.t in? Still, Artemis lightly jumped from the three in order to speak to them at the same level.

Afterward, they begin to explain the situation from their point of view while she gave the info she managed to obtain. Finally, sol asked

"If you are right. The number of heroes in the enemy camp should be pretty large."

He nodded little before asking.

"Where are your two teammates?"

"Not far from here. I put them in standby. If anything goes wrong, they will immediately run towards me."

"OK. Please could we rejoin them before searching for Natalie and the other"

Artemis didn't put too much resistance. None of the grievances between them were at the level of hating each other. Even more, in this situation where any grievance was meaningless. The only thing that mattered was survival.

Somewhere else

Three people wearing red armors were walking slowly.

"Are you sure that this is the right direction?"

The one who asked this question was a rather beautiful woman. She was asking to one of her subordinates. A rather old man.

"Yes. I may lack talent in everything else, but in tracking, I'm the best"

This old man was a clear example of failure to reach the spirit realm. He would die at the legend level. Despite that, his years of experience and his earth spirit made it so he was really a good tracker.

"Boss, put more confidence in him. You know how good this old bastard is."

The one who added his opinion was a frivolous looking young man with blonde hair and piercing on his face.

"I know, I know, " said the woman while waving her hands.

"It just that we really hit the jackpot. The leader hatred for Lady Eleanor is known to all of us. If we manage to kill her Disciple or someone close to her, we will be handsomely rewarded."

For them, the question wasn't whether they could kill him. But how to find him. As long they found him something good will happen to them.

After a few minutes of walking, the old man finally stopped and looked up with a grin

"Got you."

"Oh!! You found him?"

"I cannot say with certainty, but I feel two great concentration of energy. As the Disciple of Eleanor, he should be at least at the hero rank. There in front of us, I can feel three hero rank and one legend running towards the north, while a little northwest I can feel one legend and five heroes"

"Hi hi hi. Finally, a prey. Even if it's not him. We can still eliminate them."

"What about that legends rank?"

"Without importance. How could those brats who never saw war fight against you guy? You two will attack the first group. While I will exterminate the larger one."

After that, with a demented laugh, she dashed toward the direction pointed by the old man.

The old man and the frivolous man looked at each other before shrugging and dashing toward the first direction.

Natalie was boringly looking at her mirror. On it, an impossible scene was playing. The scene where the three red knights were separated into two groups. What kind of expression would they have if they knew that all their move was under surveillance?

Until now everything was going alright. The crazy bitch was coming toward her. While the other two were nothing but sharpening tools that could be crushed after their use was fulfilled. The crazy bitch was an issue but she was too weak to affect the grand scheme of things.

At the end of the day, the mantis was nothing much. Once she thought that, she swiped with her finger and a new scene played. This time, in it, Sol and his group could be seen.

She watched him with attention as she traced his face. She really didn't like him. She even envied him a little. He was nothing like his father. But why was he so loved? Despite that, she didn't want him to suffer.

Sadly, there was no other way. What will soon happen will be a tiring experience for him, both physically and emotionally. But from what she was told it will be a necessary one. If it succeeded, he would be the first. He would open the way to an unknown road toward a new Era.

Her eyes blazed when she thought about the gains that could be obtained. At the same time, failures would spell the doom of the nobles' families. That why it had to happen on this island.

After taking a breath to calm herself, she looked up and looked up at the sullen Emilio that stood not far from her. He hadn't been easy to convince, but she managed to make it so that he wouldn't f.u.c.k up. He still didn't know what was happening, but he now knew that there were ways more at stake than such a silly test.

Finally, her eyes steeled with resolves. Thanks to the mirror, the mantis wouldn't be a problem to handle. The problem was the oriol.

She had no way to deal with it. What more it wasn't her job to deal with it. The a.d.u.l.ts will be the ones to do so.

UNKNOWN PLACE

Twelve people were seating around a large table. The world around them was completely dark.

The first thing that caught the eyes in this situation was that the table seemed to repose on some sort of magic circle that released a gentle light and was quietly floating and spinning above a crater that seemed to be without end. It was like an abyss.

The second thing to note was that the table didn't have only twelve chairs but fourteen. What more, the table was divided into fourteen sections, and on each section was drawn a symbol that was painted in dark.

Finally, those twelve people didn't seem to be really present but seemed more like projections. Their features were obscure, as such, it was impossible to completely discern what they looked like.

The only things that were discernible, were the clothes or more precisely uniform they all wore, the black ring each of them wore on their finger, and the mask on their face.

The uniform may differ in style between each of them, but the common theme was the white color of the entire clothes and the red sun on their back.

They were silent. Eerily silent. Some of them were sleeping, some of them were drinking and some of them were taping their fingers on frustration on the table. But they stayed silent.

It's seemed like they were waiting for something or someone to arrive. Finally, a thirteenth projection slowly formed. It looked like it was a man.

"Sorry, sorry, I am a little late." said the man as he put his right hand behind his head and bowed and little. His words breaking the tension that had settled.

The other eleven stayed mostly silent while only one, a woman, simply snorted before retorting.

"What gal!!! Do you not know how precious my time is? Each minute lost here is a minute I could have used to make money."

"Money! money! always money!!! Do you only have this word in your mouth?"

"You, flat bitch, don't speak if you don't need to. Your fetid breath is coming despite you not being here. There nothing more important than money in my eyes."

"Cow t.i.t.s stop talking as if you are a human. Seeing you make me want to curse, being in your presence makes me want to barf. Your greed makes me want to punch you. Drop-dead right here right now for the good of the world."

The one who spoke so brashly and was trading insult with the first was another woman, in front of her seat was the picture of a Taurus.

"Do you think they will fight?"

"Of course they will fight"

"Don't you think they are acting silly?"

"More silly than silly. Super silly!!!"

The two bright voices who joined the fray seemed to be that of two young women. Weirdly, the two of them were seated in the same chair. The others were snickering as they watched this scene. It wasn't a new sight for them. Finally, a voice stopped the commotion.

"Phobos, Deimos, do not make the situation worse. We already lost too much time. The same goes for you Mars. Persephone may be talking too much about money, but it's a fact that our operations couldn't go on without her. Finally Persephone, you already know what Mercury was sent to do so don't give him a hard time."

The man who spoke was pinching his brow in frustration as he said all that.

" Hic !! Ah ah ah, Jupiter, you sound like an old man talking like that. Take it easy, they may act like a kid but they know to not take it too far."

The one who spoke was another man. This one was quietly leaning on his chair. He seemed quite laid back. On his hand was what seemed like a cup of wine.

Jupiter just sighed as he looked at his right hand, Bacchus. Despite his apparently laid back attitude, he knew Bacchus was a man on who he could count when he needed advice.

After the scolding from Jupiter, the noisy crowd calmed itself. After that, everyone turned a pointed stare toward the latecomer.

The man named Mercury took a deep breath. The moment he did so, the tense situation became even tenser.

"The plan is progressing smoothly for now. I managed to make it so that Richard obtain the information about the test. Right now, one of his units should already be wreaking havoc on the island."

"Ah ah !!! Those two traitorous bitches will feel it in their guts." mocked Mars.

"Do not lose sight of the objective, Mars. Vulcan and Neptune owe us nothing. This mission is not a personal vendetta. It's only unfortunate that it fell on them this year, " said Jupiter in order to calm the situation.

"Tcht !!! "

Mars didn't have any objection. She simply fell silent once again. Jupiter, seeing that, urged mercury to continue.

"I went to see the [ORACLE] ... He wasn't able to see the future anymore."

All of them inhaled deeply. The [ORACLE] was a being whose might rivaled the strongest in the world. By using his divine kingdom, he could see the future, past, and present of all worlds. He could even connect to all the versions of him in different Time-line. He was the sole being who has been able to reach such a level with the law of [FATE]. Still, sometimes, his powers would stop working. Each time he became unable to see the future, that could only mean one thing.

A nexus. An anchor. A pivot. Whatever name you gave it. It's meant that soon, a world-changing event will happen. This event will have repercussions that would spread to all worlds without problems.

The last time such a pivot appeared was... Ten years ago.

The expression of all those present around the table turned jubilant when this information was remembered.

Their plan could continue. The key was still functioning. It was even on the verge of awakening. Jupiter's eyes glinted with a resolute light.

"Phobos, Deimos, Mars, Mercury, and Achlys. The five of you are the only one present on New Earth. Go immediately, find the key and take him away no matter what the cost."

"Yes!!!", answered the twins

"Roger", saluted Mars

"Another work to do", sighed Mercury

"I.. will... Will not... Not disappoint you", stuttered Achlys.

Their five projection immediately winked out of existence. Bacchus looked at his best friend before asking.

"You do know that if we succeed there would be no peace right? It would be basically an open declaration of war towards the nobles."

"We don't have a choice. This opportunity may never come again. Right now, only the [DEMON TAMER] is present on this island. If we don't profit before Vulcan and Neptune feel that something is amiss it will be too late."

After that, he didn't bother to say more before his projection also winked out. Seeing this, the other winked out one after another, leaving the projection of Bacchus as the last one.

He looked clearly worried as he said, " I hope everything will be alright," before also winking out.

(AN: This chapter was a bitch to write 😂. Frankly, it took me two times longer than usual to write it. Anyway, I hope you liked it. After all, how could a story work without some secrets organization? 😉)
