Chapter 263: chapter 263- The Beginning of Change?



263  chapter 263- The Beginning of Change?
"... If you answer my question, then I will grant you one request, of course, asking to get out of here is not one of them, how about it?"
"... If it really has nothing to do with 'Fate' then I will be happy to answer it"
"Alright"
*Snap*
With that, Taufik snapped his fingers once again, and instantly, Hestia moved, from inside the barrier to right in front of Taufik.
"... Please sit"
Said Taufik once again, and then a sofa appeared behind Hestia; in the middle between Taufik and Hestia, a table filled with lots of snacks also appeared; seeing this, Hestia looked a little confused.
"What is all this for?"
"Just a snack, the answers to my questions will be long I guess, so you can take your time to answer them, Sit down first before I tell you my question"
"... Alright"
Hestia answered with a little hesitation before finally choosing to sit on the sofa provided by Taufik.
"Then, what are your questions... Sir?"
Asked Hestia who seemed confused about what to call Taufik, but Taufik didn't seem to care at all about the difficulties Hesti was experiencing and immediately said.
"... You know, ever since I got a certain ability, I've been interested in increasing my knowledge about any field, History is one of them... I once read a book in the future about you Olympians, but I felt that there was something wrong with the book... And I didn't dare to ask Gaia directly, afraid of opening her old wounds, so you are the solution, you who have lived for a very long time, tell me, all the events that happened in your era, if possible, I want everything in detail... Everything"
*Glup!*
When Hestia heard Taufik's question, she immediately swallowed hard, and her eyes fell on the water bottle on the table in front of her.
"... Can I drink that water first?"
"Sure, do ask you Like, make yourself comfortable"
After getting Taufik's permission, Hestia immediately took the drinking bottle, but she was a little confused about how to open the bottle cap.
Seeing this, Taufik chuckled a little and then took the drinking bottle, opened it, and then gave it back to Hestia.
"... Here"
"Thank you"
Said Hestia, who then drank the water a little embarrassedly.
"Sir... I could answer your question, but to go into detail, it would take quite a lot of time, is that okay with you?"
"What are you saying? Time it's all we have here; just think of this as a way to kill some boredom until Zeus or someone else is willing to tell me about 'Fate' or until the real me decides to let you guys go... So let's get started"
"Alright~ Then...
------------
A few seconds after, Zeus and the other Olympian Gods were forced into the False World by Taufik's Clone, who had half of Taufik's power.
In the area where the Marzuki Ship disappeared, a spatial distortion occurred and then Taufik appeared.
"..."
Taufik closed his eyes and felt that something about Earth had changed a little, but not to a dangerous level.
"... Maybe they do have a small role in Earth, but as long as Gaia is still safe, nothing will happen to Earth...It's going to be a little quiet for a while"
Said Taufik, who then took out his Katana from its sheath and then slashed into nothingness.
*Slash!*
A slash appeared in the air, and it expanded, behind the open slash was darkness/emptiness.
After the incision opened, Taufik felt his connection with Lembuswana reconnect; Taufik then sheathed his Katana again and put his head into the void.
"... LEMBU! YOU CAN GET OUT NOW!"
Taufik shouted, a few moments later, Lembuswana reappeared with the same posture as before, protecting something with all of his tentacle-like trunks.
"AHH! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I WAS INSIDE THE VOID, I THINK I'M GETTING A LITTLE STRONGER... BUT FIK ARE YOU SURE YOU COULD TOUCH A VOID LIKE THAT? IT'S VERY CORROSIVE YOU KNOW"
Ask Lembuswana, Void is the most destructive matter in the universe, and Taufik casually puts his head into the Emptiness, where the Void is located.
Taufik himself has no problem with this because he himself can also control the Void if he wants.
"... Stop talking, what about Aksa and the other? Are they safe?"
"YEAH, THEY'RE OKAY"
Lembuswana replied, and then he descended to the surface of the sea. He released his tentacles, and then the Marzuki Ship was back above the surface of the sea.
After that, Lembuswana returned to his doll form and landed on Taufik's shoulder.
Meanwhile, Marzuki and the other crew were like confused people, not understanding their current situation.
Taufik then went to the ship and saw Aksara with Marzuki while Bjorn was being treated by the other crew.
"Papa!"
Said Aksa who then ran towards Taufik and immediately hugged him.
"... Papa, do you see what I did before?"
"Well, you are very brave my son, I am very proud of you"
"Hehehe"
"Where have you been!"
Marzuki said to Taufik in an angry tone.
"... I-I was... taking a dump? Hehehe~"
"..."
"..."
'Is that the reason you said "At least acceptable" earlier?'
Lembuswana said in his mind after hearing the reason Taufik gave to Marzuki, but he didn't say it out loud and preferred to remain silent.
"... *Sigh* And you expect me to believe that?"
"... Maybe?"
"... Forget that; luckily, you came at the right time. Otherwise, we might all die here... Then where did those people go?"
Asked Marzuki who had observed that the sea had returned to calm and the weather had become normal.
"I have driven them to a faraway place, no need to worry, they won't appear anytime soon, so we can continue our journey in peace"
"... It's so? I don't know how can you do it, but that's good to hear"
Said Marzuki, who then looked at Ulf who was taking care of Bjorn with the other crew.
"How is Bjorn?"
"His condition is stable and his life is not in danger, a few days of rest and he will be able to wake up again"
"*Hufft* It's a relief to hear that"
Marzuki said with a long sigh of relief that didn't escape his mouth and then said again.
"Alright, Ulf, take Bjorn to the deck to rest, those who are injured, go treat your wounds, and those who are still okay and can still move, let's repair the ship as best we can before we continue sailing"
With Marzuki's order, the crew began to move, the injured went to treat their wounds as best they could before returning to help the others repair the ship.
After a few hours, they managed to repair the ship with whatever materials were available, after eating, they immediately continued sailing to their destination, planning to make full repairs when they docked.

  - Holy Kingdom, Temple of Zeus.
In front of an impressive statue of Zeus sitting on a throne, a man wearing a long white priest's robe embroidered in the shape of a lightning bolt.
The person was seen praying but in a hurried manner, as if there was no peace in his prayers.
"No, I can't... Why can't I connect with God Zeus, what's going on?"
*Knock~Knock~Knock~"
A knock was heard from the door behind the person and was also accompanied by someone saying.
"Lord Messengers, the other Nine Messengers from the other Temples are here to see you, they say something urgent is happening, and they want to consult it with you"
Hearing the words of one of the followers from outside the door, the Messengers of Zeus stopped praying and then stood up and straightened his clothes.
"... Tell them to go to the Main Temple, I'll be there soon"
"As you wish, Lord"
Said the Follower; after feeling that the follower had left, the Messenger of Zeus took a deep breath and then looked at his palm.
*Zap!*
"...The blessing that God Zeus gave is still there, but why can't I communicate with him... Are the other Temples also experiencing the same problem? What is actually happening?"
Said the Messenger before taking another deep breath and calming himself down.
"... It would be clearer if I asked them directly, but nine? Are there two Temples that have no problem communicating with their Gods, which Temples are they perhaps?"
Said the Messengers of Zeus before stepping out of his private room to go meet the Messengers from the other God Temples.
--------------
  - Underworld, Throne of Hades.
In the dark, cold, and silent room, there was a throne made of shiny black obsidian, cold and heavy, as if absorbing all light. Intricate carvings adorned the backrest and arms of the throne, depicting terrifying mythological creatures and symbols of death.
On the throne sat a man with dark gray skin; the man was wearing a long robe that had symbols of death. The man's face could not be seen because it was covered by a helmet, but it could be seen that the man was thinking about something very deeply.
"... What exactly happened, why can't I feel the presence of my two brothers?"
Said the man who was none other than Hades himself, the ruler of the Underworld.
"... Husband!"
