Chapter 392: We got the pithos

"Well good job on beating Zeus up." Prometheus complimented

We just took our seat as he took out this simple brown pithos and little minor carvings. He opened to lid a bit and showed us this small golden particle of golden light. He then closed it back up.

"You have now passed my test, and by getting it, you have passed Heracles' test." He said "You now have hope, in times of despair, release her, she will show you light in the darkness you find yourselves in. Heracles have asked you to obtain it, he will get it for confirmation and return it to you. As for the apples, do with it as you wish."

"Anything you can say about Chaos?"

"It's that Chaos is very powerful, Perseus." he warned "Chaos has been gathering powers for all these years just for this moment, Chaos plans to rebuild every thing and shape it into what she considers as perfect."

| Chaos is sometimes referred to as male, sometimes female or even genderless, so I made it so that some gods in this novel sees them as however they wish, whether they see Chaos as female, male or genderless is all up to them. |

"Isn't her abode the void? Can't we just find Chaos there?"

"If only she is still there." he chuckled "I know where she is, and only a few others does, but I have swore on Styx to not talk about it until the location is revealed and made public. Everything will make sense at the banquet, Perseus Silver."

Albert and I were so tired that we decided to leave there and go rest at home, we left the pithos in Dabria's and Helena's hands to bring it to Heracles and get him to be our ally. With his strength, we can at least have him go against Atlas. Though now that I think about it, Heracles got much stronger by drinking...yeah, I'm not going to do that, I got standards.

I did make a pit stop at the seeker's base though. I got to Gia's quarters to see her commanding a large fleet of other fairies to cooking the meals for everyone at base.

"Perseus, why are you here?" she asked

I just tossed her the apple which she transformed into her human form to catch. Comparing my wings to her wings, I can safely say that my wings are superior and can see why people like them now.

"What's this gold apple for?" she asked

"You want to be a goddess, right? Eat that and you'll be granted immortality."

"Wait wait wait, you're serious?!" her face was full of shock and her hands was definitely shaking.

"Yeah, immortality and you're also a celestial. You'll become a goddess, one big bite will do so you can share it. And don't try to plant the seed, it won't grow."

"How?! Where did you find this? How should I repay you?"

"No need, just report to Zach that I was here. I'm going back home now, I need rest, my body is still sore."

"No seriously, what do you need? I'll even marry you."

"No thanks, I have enough problem already. Just report to Zach for me and maybe someday, I'll have a favor to ask of a minor goddess."

"I'll make my way up from just being a minor goddess, don't worry." she cracked a smile."

It's pretty empty at home, the only one who was home was Siege who accompanied me to bed and slept next to me. Luckily, I got the better end of the deal and not have to had my liver being eaten daily, his face was really pale.

I think I just immediately collapsed on the bed the moment I managed to tuck myself in. I then got contacted by Hypnos and his 3 other sons.

"I really tried following the clues and the trail left by our opposition, but so far I got no clue on where Chaos is." Phobetor apologized

"I heard you were carrying the heavens on your back, good job." Phantasos said as he pat me on the back "Not just that, you also helped in taking Zeus down. Your legend is going to surpass all of us combined."

"Yeah, I heard Heracles is now joining us. His strength when he was a mortal was already on the same level as a god, now his physical strength should far surpass that." Morpheus added "I'm surprised that he kept his word after you beat his dead."

"Well I can definitely feel myself closer to Chaos, but every time I catch onto the trail, something veer me off course." Hypnos informed "They got minor dream gods on their sides too, those dream gods are their messengers. But that's not all..."

"Yes, they got night gods on their side too." Phantasos added "Dream magic are more effective to hide when it's night time, our side have very less of those. They got night deities to help. So once we get on their trail, they'll misdirect us. Elektra have apparently narrowed down their current physical hideout to one of 200."

"By the time that we narrow it down to one is already the time of the banquet." Phobetor commented "They are already planning to pull something off by then."

"We can just time skip?" I suggested

"You fucking bastard, you really are annoying." A voice chimed in.

Even the dream gods in front of me was surprised that they didn't sensed it, I turned to see...the author and the narrator. Fuck, this is where I die, isn't it?

"You look familiar." Morpheus commented

"He won't kill you yet." the narrator snickered "I'm Perseus or you may just call me, Narrator. Nice to meet ya."

"Oh shit, the narrator for 3rd person view is the original Perseus? Author, are you planning to gather every Perseus in the world to work for you or something? Even your username is Perseus Silver, are you a Perseus too?"

"No, you idiot. I name myself Perseus Silver because that's going to be the name of my protagonists." the author sighs "I'm here to warn you. The mistress of the 4th wall is out for your blood because you kept breaking it for almost 400 chapters!"

"Oh, so your warnings actually have a reason behind it...Gotcha...I'm dead, aren't I?"

"Just scream my name when you see her. I'll bring the narrator along to stop her, he got fighting experience and I can erase her once we manage to incapacitate her."

"I'm still going to break the 4th wall since she's already out for my blood, I mean, it can't get any worse, right?...I just raised a flag, didn't I?"
