Chapter 43: Ch. 43 - The Satans are making their move!
In a wide expanse in the sky, a large floating island can be seen surpassing even the clouds, adoring beautiful yet large buildings with white structures that can mesmerize even the Gods themselves.
Inside the largest structure on the island, a meeting was being held, twelve large beings with various genders and appearances can be seen sitting at round tables
"So, what's with the meeting, dad?" Sitting casually on a sleek white chair with gold trims, was a blond-haired man with a calm yet impassive face.
"Hermes is right, Zeus. Normally whenever we convene meetings, it would either be your childish tantrums again or shocking us with the news of a new child, though with how many children you already sired, it's not considered a shock anymore." The next one to speak was a red-haired woman with a delicate face and a playful expression on her face.
If someone from outside were to hear her words, no doubt it would cause a shock as the man she was speaking to was Zeus, the Olympian King of Gods.
"Sigh. Hestia, it's neither of those and it's not my fault those humans are so easy to trick! A single flash of my mighty manhood would make them start stripping in no time!" Zeus with his glorious white beard and electric blue eyes, retorted her words quickly.
"So if it's not about children, hopefully, it's not about you losing your Master Bolt again, brother?" His brother, Poseidon, shares the same appearance as him except that Poseidon's beard and hair color is brown instead of white. The man spoke with a grim look on his face.
All the Gods in the room minus the King of Gods, suddenly turned quiet after hearing Poseidon's words.
Everyone knew what happened the last time Zeus lost his Master Bolt.
"Please tell me you didn't lose your Master Bolt again, Zeus." Hera, the Queen of the Gods and also Zeus's wife, looked at Zeus in horror.
Everyone then stared at Zeus, hoping to get his response as soon as possible because if the man indeed lost his Master Bolt, no doubt there might be another war again.
The last time Zeus lost his Master Bolt, he declared war against the Norse Gods, practically because he thought it was Thor, the Norse god of Thunder, was the one who stole his Master Bolt.
After all, Zeus and Thor share almost the same divinity, about lightning and thunder.
Angered at being accused of a crime he didn't commit, Thor almost responded with the same intention, to declare war against the Greek Gods.
Fortunately, the wise King of the Norse Gods, Odin, who is thankfully much wiser than Zeus, managed to step ahead in time to prevent a massive catastrophe that would destroy either of the two sides.
As for the Olympian Gods, they scoured the entire Olympus and finally found out that it was Hades who hid the Master Bolt out of spite of their troubled past.
Now if Zeus were to lose his Master Bolt again, who knows which Pantheon he'll declare war against next?
"I haven't said anything about losing my Master Bolt!" Zeus angrily yelled at them after seeing how almost everyone was certain that he lost his Master Bolt, causing silence to ripple across the meeting room.
"If it's not about the Master Bolt, then what's with the meeting?" Aphrodite broke the silence and said with a slightly annoyed tone. She was on the verge of stealing another wife's husband when she was called to an emergency meeting all of a sudden.
Now all she wants is just to finish the meeting and go back to her own business.
"…It's about our father." After calming himself down, Zeus finally revealed, drawing stunned looks from his siblings and curious looks from his children.
"You mean Kronos, the Titan Lord of Time?" Ares, the God of War, said with a slight excitement in his tone. His fiery eyes turned scarlet red as small flames appeared, replacing his eyes which Zeus nodded his head in response.
However, Zeus's next words caused everyone to jump from their chairs.
"Yes, I'm talking about him. Just this morning, I received a report that Kronos is missing from the Tartarus."
"What?!"
"Kronos is missing? How?"
"Isn't Tartarus impossible to escape from?"
"Where's Hades? What is he thinking? Isn't he supposed to watch over him?"
Countless reactions, comments, and even ancient Greek slurs were thrown towards Hades, taking advantage of the fact that he was not part of the meeting.
"Silence!" Zeus, the only one who remained sitting, grew angry once again and shouted, causing a clap of thunder to be heard from the sky.
BOOM!
Everyone stopped in their tracks and sat back in their respective seats, not daring the anger the King of Greek Gods.
Zeus might be lacking in his brain department but his strength is established and undeniable despite being the youngest sibling.
"It was Hades who told me the news. He was just as shocked as you all are. Currently, he's visiting Tartarus to investigate more about this. If Kronos has indeed escaped, then we must be prepared."
"What if he didn't?" At the same time as the voice appeared, another being walked inside, his appearance being so out of place that instead of having flesh, the man who entered was a skeleton wearing regal and expensive clothing.
"Hades…" Poseidon muttered with a slightly annoyed tone. He always hates Hades, not because of their past but because Hades's presence reeks of death, in which he can't be blamed as death is part of Hades's divinity.
"What do you mean by that, Hades?" Zeus asked confusingly.
"I just got back from Tartarus and I have news that would either be celebrated or cause another war." Hades smirked as he slammed the butt of his tall cane on the ground causing his aura to ripple around.
"Kronos didn't escape Tartarus. Instead, he was killed in Tartarus!"

[Chamber PoV]
As I eyed the red-haired guy in front of me warily, my mind suddenly went into my Longinus, the Chronos Requiem, my trump card of some sort.
No doubt that as long as I develop this Longinus, I will fear nothing in this world. God himself already told me that the Longinus isn't limited by its power, but only by its wielder.
This means if I'm capable enough, I can not only unleash Chronos Requiem's full potential but even go beyond what it normally can.
Hopefully, Chronos Requiem wouldn't give me much trouble, after all, I'm still not sure where or how God managed to get the power of time and imbue it as a Sacred Gear.
"Hello there, I believe I haven't formally introduced myself to you yet. My name's Sirzechs Gremory, heir of the Gremory clan." Suddenly, while I was deep in thinking, lo and behold, the man whom I swear I'll stay away from, appeared on my side with that virtuous smile on his face.
"…Nice to meet you, Sirzechs. My name's Chamber." I shook his hand and replied.
"Say, I'm quite a bit curious. What does it feel like to be a devil after being a human your entire life?" Bearing curiosity on his face, Sirzechs asked.
'Is this an interview?' I mentally furrowed my eyebrows and muttered to myself.
"I'm not sure. I feel nothing much changed, I feel like devils and humans have some similarities with each other."
"…You're right." A thoughtful look appeared on Sirzechs's face as he muttered.
"I see you two are getting along, now, the others are already here, so it's time to start the meeting."
Just in time as he finished speaking, the door to the meeting slash living room creaked open, followed by several figures entering the room.
"ChamCham!" Just as I was about to wave my hand to the newcomers, the black shadow suddenly smashed against my chest, almost causing us to tumble on the floor.
"Sera!" Gideon, who just entered, couldn't help but scold her.
"Hahaha!" Falbium's father, the muscular man, laughed haughtily as he enjoyed watching Serafall's childish antics.
Meanwhile, Sirzechs just smiled wearily for his friend, thankful that his energetic friend had finally found someone who could endure her.
"Zechy, are you thinking something bad about me?" After smashing her face on my chest, Serafall suddenly bore a scary look on her face as she stared at Sirzechs with cold eyes.
"N-No, Sera." Sirzechs gulped hard and said with an awkward expression.
"Don't call me Sera! Only ChamCham can call me that!" Serafall said before pouting as she deepened her hug on me.
"W-Well, Serafall." Sirzechs smiled, not daring to refute Serafall's words.
For some odd reason, I felt a swell of pride in my chest at seeing Sirzechs being so awkward when it comes to Serafall.
Well, no matter how strong you are, when you're socially pathetic, then you're weak unless of course, Sirzechs is someone who likes to flaunt his strength and let power speak but he doesn't seem to be that kind of man.
"Now that everyone is seated. Let's start this meeting." Zekram's voice interrupted their small session of conversation and attracted everyone's attention to him.
"Earlier, I was invited to join the meeting with the Four Satans as Lucifer had something important to announce." Upon hearing the word Lucifer, everyone quickly perked their ears up as they wanted to know what their leader wanted to announce.
"It seems that Lucifer has grown arrogant and decided that by the first day of next month, the Four Satans will finally make their move and finish the Great War that has been plaguing the world for thousands of years." As soon as he dropped the bomb, everyone shifted uncomfortably in their seats, including even me.
Everyone knows what this means as it means that once the final battle between God and the Four Satans started, their plan to weaken God and make sure the five perish in their battle would be executed.
'Looks like I'm going to have to meet God later.' While I was deep in my thoughts after Zekram's announcement, I failed to notice the worried look that Serafall gave to me as she happened to sit by my side.
Vampires, Satans, Angels, God, godammit, this world is no less bad than the Marvel Universe!
