Chapter 1059 Agreement Between Gods

"What can I do for you to forgive me and help us in our fight against Zeus?" Hermes asked as he squeezed both his hands together. It was going to be hard for Argus to forgive him considering he was the one who killed him.

But no matter much, Hermes knew that they needed Argus' help if they wanted to win the fight. His ability of being able to see most if not everything was going to be very helpful for gathering information. Without it, their chances of winning decreases drastically.

"What can you do? Hmm, I'm not sure if you can afford it haha. Of course, that's only if it was before the little stunt she pulled. If it was before, I would have asked you for your life." Argus curled the corner of his lips up as he pointed towards his chest.

Seeing the pitchback orbs in the place of where normal eyes should be, Hermes couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He could feel the cold blooded killing intent emanating from this man as hundreds of gazes locked onto his body. Even if it was fast, he could not escape this man's sight.

"But I'm in quite the good mood after her actions so I won't ask for something like your life." Argus chuckled as he sat up straight.

"Hermes, I want you to work for me. No matter what I ask of you, I want you to follow through with them. Of course, I'll give you a bit of mercy due to that lass and I won't ask you to do something as mundane as kill someone of course. Just help me with doing some miscellaneous tasks." Argus offered.

"So a butler of sorts?" Hermes raised an eyebrow.

"No no no, calling that a butler is far too kind. I prefer the word slave." Argus narrowed his eyes.

Hearing this, Hermes felt like a vein was about to pop from his anger.

"A slave?" Hermes asked as his voice was cold.

"Yes. Why? Are you unhappy? How do you think I felt when I was killed in my sleep." Argus smirked as Hermes couldn't refute him.

Gritting his teeth, he considered his options before sighing.

"Fine. I agree to being your slave. However, I want to be able to do my own th-"

"No. If you want that much freedom then you'll be more of a butler than a slave. As the messenger, I'm sure you don't need me to repeat myself right? I'm sure you already know that all of you need me more than I need you. The young lass honoured me so I honoured her back. You killed me and logically, I should kill you but I'm already giving you enough mercy by making you my slave." Argus stood up as he prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Hermes slammed his hand down.

"Fine! But there better be a time limit to this."

"Sure. How does 100 years sound to you?" Argus smiled as he turned around. 100 years was enough for him to get as much enjoyment out of Hermes as possible.

Seething in anger, Hermes could only bite the bullet and nod his head.

Seeing this, Argus snapped his finger and a golden contract appeared in the air.

"Sign it."

Sighing softly, Hermes bit his finger and signed his crest in blood.

Suddenly, chains appeared around him as a cuff appeared around his neck.

"GAH!!" Crying out in pain, lightning started to flicker as the contract rolled up into a scroll and landed in Argus' hand.

"Perfect. You are now my slave for the next hundred years. Show me to this meeting of yours little slave." Argus said as Hermes nodded his head.

Creating a portal in front of them, they both stepped through with Hermes following behind Argus.

Finding himself at the doorway of a giant room that towered over him, Argus raised his eyebrows and looked towards the centre.

There was a single room and quite a few gods could be spotted with the one in the centre being Hades.

"Seems like Hermes has persuaded you to join us." Hades smiled as Argus nodded his head.

"Somewhat. If it wasn't for the lass he mentioned honouring my name with something quite interesting, I wouldn't have agreed even if he paid for it with his life." Argus smiled as he tugged his hand and a chain manifested, connecting to the collar around Hermes' neck.

Seeing this, Hades raised an eyebrow as Hermes could only grit his teeth.

"But setting that aside, shall we talk business? All I know right now is that you want to kill Zeus' faction for good. They're collaborating with a few gods outside of this pantheon no?" Argus asked as Hades nodded his head.

"Yes. The main targets in Zeus' faction is Zeus himself and Poseidon. They're the biggest targets. Ares has agreed to fight with us since he's not a fan of Zeus or Poseidon." Hades replied.

"I can see that considering that there are quite a few familiar faces around here. Though I have to ask, who is this girl next to you? She's not a face that I've seen nor does she have the aura of a god. Demi god at most but not a god and even then, Demi God is pushing it."

"This one is called Asakura Mio, mother of Asakura Shiro. She's on her way to becoming a Demi God." Hades introduced with a smile.

Narrowing his eyes, Argus paused in surprise.

"You actually sent a mortal to the Path of Divinity? The fact that she's standing here is a miracle and you want her to complete the rest of the path to forcefully ascend to Demi God status?! Are you trying to kill a talented individual out of haste?" Argus asked with a frown.

"No I'm not. You understand that since I sent her, I have a chance to pull her out if things get bad right?" Hades asked as Argus nodded his head.

"The key is that even after how long she's spent on the path, I have not used this yet. She still has one extra life if you were to call it that." Hades said as Argus looked at Mio in disbelief.

"Take off your hood, let me get a good look at you." Argus said as he opened both of his eyes fully.

Hearing this, Mio glanced over at Hades who only nodded.

Reaching up with her hand, she pulled her hood down and allowed him to see her face.

Narrowing his eyes, Argus smiled. "Your path is long, just like your daughter. I must say, you two mother and daughter pair are quite interesting." Argus smiled as he leaned down.

"Thank you." Mio bowed slightly.

"Alright, setting that aside for now, what do you need me to do? I'm quite interested in seeing Zeus' death." Argus smiled, taking a seat around the table.

Flying to the moon wasn't too difficult. It was just a case of flying towards the giant rock floating in space.

What was difficult is what they found on the surface.

".. . You know what this is?" Shiro asked.

When they reached the moon, they were greeted with a similar barrier to Earth, so breaking through it wasn't too difficult. However, when they did, they saw a giant gate fused into the moon's surface. The door pointed straight towards the Earth while runic patterns and images were carved around it.

"Do you think it's a dungeon?" Nan Tian asked as Shiro shrugged.

"Not sure. The runes aren't exactly the ones that a dungeon uses. If anything, it's closer to the ones that are etched to a raid door." Shiro replied since she had never seen a gate of this size before.

"Should we leave it for now or?"

"Hmm… I'll set a few scouts down for now. Let them monitor this place before we turn it into a holiday home. If it turns out to be something troublesome, I don't want to drag the people in the city into this." Shiro said as she waved her hand.

Nanobots started to gather around her as they formed into tiny robots that descended towards the surface.

But the moment they touched down, they were crushed by an invisible force.

Seeing this, Shiro narrowed her eyes.

Creating a nanotech avatar of herself, the same one she used during the first event, Shiro sent it down towards the surface.

Upon reaching the surface, the same pressure appeared.

Furrowing her brows, Shiro was glad to find out that it wasn't an instant kill. But rather the drones couldn't hold themselves together.

Since her avatar was stronger, it was able to move around despite the problems.

"Seems like the pressure of the moon isn't something that can be survived by anyone lower than tier 5. Hell, I think that's putting it lightly. For a good chance, you'd have to be tier 6." Shiro muttered.

"That bad?" Nan Tian furrowed his brows.

"Mn. But strangely enough, my avatar is not affected by that pressure when it detaches itself from the moon." Shiro muttered.

Suddenly, a notification appeared on her system.

[You have discovered the Gates of Rokarn.]
