Chapter 3077: The Start of Olympus’ Fall II
Chapter 3077: The Start of Olympus’ Fall II
As the Primordial Calamity Typhon and the Apostles of Typhon have infiltrated Olympus, the Doulos have also started their preparation in creating the Gate of Tartarus. Stagnant Water actually managed to proceed seamlessly with the creation stages of the Gate of Tartarus because he has already gotten outside help. From the shadow of the study, Stagnant Water could be seen looking at a figure that is both imposing and cunning.
"To think you were able to rally the others, I underestimated you." Eldritch stated but there is a different thought in his mind.
Eldritch only helped in getting one of the most important materials for the Gate of Tartarus because he needed something from the Titans. What Eldritch provided is something called the Corrupted Source. It is basically a forbidden alchemical item that can only be created when a fragment divine source of a god is tainted with worldly energy. Eldritch has numerous fragmented divine sources of numerous gods and he traded this with the item that he needs.
"You flatter me, Eldritch. I am just starting out and not like you that has already solidified his power." Stagnant Water stated but his words carry jealousy and not admiration.
Stagnant Water did not want to have any favors from Eldritch but they cannot really move openly for now. The thing that is needed to power up the Gate of Tartarus is a Corrupted Source which can only be made if you have defeated literal gods. One could be lucky to find a fragmented divine source from a dead god but that is just like winning the lottery.
When the Titan King Kronus sensed the fragmented divine sources from Eldritch’ body in the black market, he immediately told Stagnant Water to make a deal with the being before them. The Titan King Kronus does not know of Eldritch which is why Stagnant Water had to give information about him. When the Titan King Kronus learned that Eldritch was an Envoy of a Dark God, the titan king only laughed and immediately told Stagnant Water to proceed with the trade.
Eldritch gave the excuse that he was visiting the black market but he was actually waiting for Stagnant Water to meet him. Eldritch did not come randomly to this night market but he came because of the item that he needs. An item that only a Titan could ever give and that is none other than Titan Blood. What Eldritch traded for the fragmented divine source is a drop of Titan Blood.
Eldritch is currently by Stagnant Water’s side because he needs the Gate of Tartarus to work for titans to come to the mortal realm. Only when he gets the promised drops of blood will Eldritch leave Stagnant Water and the titans. Eldritch is not afraid that the titans will cheat him but he also makes sure that he will not leave empty handed.
If the Titan King Kronus does not honor their agreement, Eldritch will just need to snatch the weakest looking titan away. He could also do a surprise attack that will make the Titan bleed their golden blood. After all, Eldritch have already killed numerous gods because where else will he get numerous fragmented divine sources.
The gods that Eldritch killed were just lesser gods of the Dark Gods faction. One would think that as an Envoy of the Dark Gods, Eldritch will not kill them but he will and it is no longer a secret. This is the reason why some of the other Envoys of the Dark Gods and Followers of the Dark Gods are no longer following him. In the pursuit of absolute power, Eldritch cast away the unworthy ones in his eyes. There are some that still follow him but it is mostly due to mutual benefit.
"Just make sure to build faster, as I have heard that Olympus is starting to search for remnants of Titans. It seems those Apostles of Typhon perfectly redirected the heat to your faction." Eldritch stated.
"If brother Eldritch is here then what is there to fear for us?" Stagnant Water stated with a smile but he is actually just thinking of making use of Eldritch while they have yet to give the drops of titan blood.
"Do you think that I am your slave? You are the slave here and I am merely a merchant that needs something from your master. I can guard the Gate of Tartarus but keeping your organization alive is another thing entirely." Eldritch stated.
"Of course, not. We treat Brother Eldritch as an esteemed guest here. We are strong enough to deal with the lackeys of Olympus. They are no threat to us as even the Messenger God Hermes will never be able to defeat our most powerful fighter if they fight outside of Olympus." Stagnant Water stated.
The reason Stagnant Water mentioned the Messenger God Hermes is due to the fact that he could traverse the world without restriction but he is weakened to the rank of a lesser god. The Doulos have a way to deal with lesser god ranked beings and the weakened Messenger God Hermes is of no exception. Stagnant Water is only asking Eldritch that question because he wants to ascertain until what will the latter do for them.
"Since he said that he will guard the Gate of Tartarus then it means I can pour the other guard resources elsewhere. Once the titans arrive back to the mortal realm, they would surely need places to settle which means lots of places need to be built." Stagnant Water thought but Eldritch could already read the expressions and what the former is thinking about.
"Amateur." Eldritch thought as he sneered because he knows this Stagnant Water is not really adequate.
The only reason that Stagnant Water could reach such prestige now is due to the Titan King Kronus being his master. Out of all the Doulos in this place, Stagnant Water is the only one with the Blessing of the Titan King Kronus. It is also the reason why Eldritch is respectful because the Titan King Kronus might give him a drop of his blood which would be the best outcome.
"If the Messenger God Hermes does come then it would be great as his divine source would definitely be better than the ones that I supplied. The Messenger God Hermes could traverse worlds and even the afterlife because of his divine source. Having it would definitely make the energy to power up the Gate of Tartarus become stable." Eldritch stated as he believes he can take on a weakened god.
What Eldritch says has merit because the divine source of the Messenger God Hermes can punch holes through reality. He would become an excellent source of energy for the gate and they would not need Corrupted Sources. Then again, capturing a god that can twist your head in a split second is not easy even for a powerful force.
"It has been difficult to move lately because the Thieves Guild has been scouring the continent. If not for our own spies inside that have been planted long ago then we would not have evaded them." Stagnant Water stated.
"Just do you work so that I will not linger here any longer. The faster the Titans arrive then the faster that I can get on with my business." Eldritch stated as he vanished.
"If I did not need you then I would not have made a deal with you in the first place. You are lucky that the Titan King Kronus said that you are still useful or else I would have dealt with you long ago." Stagnant Water thought as he really thinks that he could kill Eldritch if he wanted to because he does not know how powerful the other party is.

Meanwhile, Elder Ascalor and the Ancient Dragon Aurum returned back to Avalon. The two of them appeared back to the location they vanished from but they only found Adrian waiting for them. The others that were recovering in the shade of the Tree of Life and Death were no longer there. It seems Adrian sent them to a different location for their Ascension as the two elders could detect that two of them could become demigods.
"They did not believe you." Adrian stated.
"How did you figure it out? Can you now read minds as well? Do not tell me that you were given the Future Sight gift as well!? That gift is very dangerous even for a demon!" Elder Ascalor stated like he was bombarding Adrian.
"Calm down. The reason that I know it failed is the fact that Elder Aurum looks like he wants to destroy every single thing around him." Adrian pointed it out.
"They have been too disrespectful! Even gods give us respect back in the days as we are direct children of the Mother Dragon Goddess Tiamat!" The Ancient Dragon Aurum stated.
"That was then and this is now. The old ways are no longer viable as even gods are up to date." Adrian stated.
