I'm The Devil - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Back to The Greco Realm
Island of Crete

“We are being surrounded by the god King and his brothers together with their forces and we are just going to sit here like it’s nothing? They are attacking us for crying out loud”

Cynosura, the Nymph who was so against trusting Lucifer which didn’t fair well for her said as she looked at Adamantheia who was just as calm as a calm ocean.

It has been almost an hour now since Chronos, the god King arrived on the entrance of the island and demand they out Rhea and his children or tell them where they can be found if they were not here or else he would raze their island to the ground.

But Adamantheia didn’t even say anything and just sat on her throne as she created a projection of what was going on outside watching as Chronos and his brothers try to break the impenetrable shield that surrounded the island thanks to the tree that was planted here long ago.

Adamantheia looked at Cynosura and sighed, she just like to complain about little things and it is getting on her nerve “will just shut up for once? Don’t you know that a shield was erected the moment that tree matured and nobody can pass through that shield unless I allow it and nothing can destroy that shield as long as it stands. So I see no reason to panicked, instead they should be, they are going disturb her with their noise and we would see what would happen to them” she said while thinking of a certain Phoenix woman who was meditating at the forbidden area of the Island, where the tree is planted.

“But what if the truly impenetrable shield was destroyed, what are we going to do then? Wait for our death” said Cynosura who would not her hope on some stupid shield.

Adamantheia sighed once again as she knew Cynosura was a lost cause and there is nothing she can do about it until she sees it for herself.

Outside the Island

Chronos could be seen floating in the air as he stares down at the Island.

He was furious that someone under his rule dares to challenge him. It is like he has now become a joke to everyone recently and nobody takes him seriously and it all started because of that stupid son of his, he should have killed them all the moment they were born, now they all pain in his ass, including his mother and wife.

But he would not let them have their way, he is Chronos, the god King of the Greco Realm and nobody, not even his mother can end his reign.

“We have not been able to even leave a scratch on that invisible shield, instead it seems to be getting stronger and stronger every time we rain attacks on it brother, I think we should just give it up and find other ways to get to them” said Oceanus who could see that this is all a fruitless endeavor and a waste of their time.

“I highly doubt that, I don’t believe that, that shield can not be destroyed, maybe we are not just hitting it with enough power or there is something we are overlooking, like a weak point in the shield” said Coeus who also came to the side of Chronos.

Oceanus looked at Coeus and knew what the bastard was up to, trying to win Chronos’s trust and later use it against him and this is what Chronos would like to hear at times like this because he just wants to look for his children and get it over with. So he would listen to what is going to help him achieve that easily even if it is a lost cause.

Chronos looked between Coeus and Oceanus “Coeus is right, we are not just hitting the right places and with enough power” he said as he looked at Oceanus “tell those lesser gods to stand aside, the titans are going to take it from here”

Oceanus nodded his head and turn around not without giving Coeus a side eye.

He went and gave the command of the god King to the lesser gods and titans, their offsprings.

Without any delays, the Titans all went to work, punching with their fists, throwing energy blasts of different elements all in other to destroy the shield but even with the combined effort of the Titans, they were still unable to destroy the shield.

Chronos was not willing to give up, so he turned to Iapetus “where is your son, Atlas, bring him here, he should be able to get rid of this pesky shield” he said.

Iapetus and Oceanus both had their eyes opened wide, what is going on with Chronos, does he not know that Atlas has been forbidden from ever coming close to him by Themis after she found out of his infidel with his mother, Clymene.

Chronos was expecting Iapetus to.be on his way right now but he was still here which made him frown and remembered what Themis did “if you are already about what Themis did so that you cannot see your son again, then I have to remind you that she is not here with us and I have already taken care it, so nothing would happen to your son, so go get him” said Chronos as he watched Iapetus leave.

Oceanus couldn’t take the madness anymore and just left Chronos to his own devices since nothing he says was even getting into his heads anymore, so he is of no use here.

Chronos didn’t stop him and just let him go, all he had on his mind is how to break that shield and go into that Island and strangle that woman, Adamantheia and raze her island to the ground.

In the forbidden area of the island, a woman with a red hair and a strand of black as if it was on fire opened her eyes as she gazed beyond the walls and saw what was happening outside. She frowned and stood up and walked out of the room which houses a huge tree.

When she got out, she didn’t even speak to anyone and just walked to where Adamantheia was but paused when she saw her and transformed into her Phoenix form and flew away from the island.

The Titans and the lesser gods were terrified when they saw a giant bird caught on fire coming there way.

“BRACE YOURSELVES” shouted Chronos as he raised a shield around himself.

But what happened next left them speechless as the bird did not attack them but flew right pass them and headed in another direction.

Adamantheia on the other hand was confused as she knew that Feng Huang was coming to ask her what was going on but suddenly transformed and flew away.

“Let me just deal with Chronos for now before I think about that stupid and arrogant bird” said Adamantheia as she flew to the other side of the shield facing Chronos.

“Why don’t you come outside and talk to me? Why are you hiding behind your shield and acting all tough? Come out and FACE ME, Adamantheia, I will give you a painless death after I get the information I want from you, I assure that”

Chronos said furiously while looking at the face of Adamantheia who still appeared calm even in a situation like this.

“I’m not hear to listen to your threats, I’m actually here to give you a warning, leave here while you still can because once she comes back from wherever she went to, I assure you that you are going to meet your doom and another piece of advice, this island is under the protection of Lucifer Morningstar and you don’t want to get on his bad side, I assure you that”

Adamantheia said before she turned around and left Chronos who was clenching his fist in anger.

Even a mere Nymph is talking to him this way, is that how he has been looked down upon.

“HOW DARE YOU”

He shouted at the top of his lungs making the lands quake, the air became violent and the oceans and the seas went into rage telling everyone in the Greco Realm that the god King is very, Very Mad.

“Calm Down, we have to leave right now, we don’t want to mess with the Devil, brother” said Hyperion.

Before Coeus could persuade Chronos to not listen to Hyperion, he got the I dare you look from Oceanus making him take a step back.

Chronos reluctantly left with his forces and sent someone to tell Iapetus to forget about getting Atlas as they could not get anything from here anymore and he was now sure that, Rhea and his children are not here.

Meanwhile, Adamantheia saw all of these and smiled “knew he will fall for it”

Mt. Olympus

Four figures appeared on Mt. Olympus and looked around and found out that it was weirdly quiet.

They are Lucifer, Aphrodite, Bariel and Tiānkōng.

Lucifer closed his eyes as he felt the life force of people on the mountain.

“I guess we came to a deserted part of the mountain”

Lucifer said as he led them to where the others were when he felt a presence flying at their direction with extreme speed.

“She came really fast”

As Lucifer said this, the group saw a giant burning bird appeared in the sky and slowed down as it got closed to them.

The bird transformed to human and landed when she finally got closed to Lucifer with her head bowed “welcome, Master”
