Chapter 1993 Escape From Olympus
Chapter 1993 Escape From Olympus
?”This is not good!” Adrian stated as he immediately felt the intense bloodlust in the area.
Adrian looked above him, and numerous lightning bolts rained down from the sky. The entire place that he was in is filled with light that came from the furious lightning bolts raining down. The power of the lightning bolts made the entire area be charred in black as the stone was burned. The only things that were not affected were the chairs that the gods would sit on.
“Where is the rat!” The God King Zeus stated as he appeared in the skies above the throne area.
“There was no rat, husband. The relic just turned to dust.” The God Queen Hera stated as she looked at the traces of the relic that was destroyed.
“What is the commotion?” The other major Olympian gods asked as they appeared in the area as well since the lightning show could be seen even when they were at the farthest place in Olympus.
“There is nothing going on. Your father just destroyed the place because the Head of Janus crumbled to dust. He overused it a couple of times to the point that cracks were already appearing on it. He thought that there was an intruder when the relic crumbled which is the commotion you are seeing right now.” The God Queen Hera stated as she tried to see what happened with the relic but all she could see that it turned to dust.
“Maybe we should let one of the God of Magics to inspect the dust. They may be able to see what happened with the relic. A goddess that held a shield that had a gorgon’s head stated.
“It is just one of father’s usual occurrence of being hypersensitive. I am going back as the gods of war need to go and talk with each other. War is brewing in the horizon, and we must take part!” The God of War Ares stated as he vanished in flames.
“Should I check the perimeter just to be sure?” A god with wings on a helmet stated.
“No need to do something troublesome. We can just leave it to Hestia to check if someone really did invade our home. After all, she can see the memories of the house as long as it is recent.” A very beautiful goddess stated as she smelled like lilac and roses.
“I should be able to see, brother. If there really was someone that touched the relic, then I can be able to show it to all of us.” A goddess that looked like she was a teenager stated.
“Please do so, sister.” The God King Zeus stated.
The Goddess of the Home Hestia stated as she touched the dust of the relic and magic recreated the scene from earlier. Just like earlier, they saw the Head of Janus suddenly floating and releasing a light before crumbling to dust. They were unable to see Adrian as the memories of the home did not record register him as he was currently purely melted with the darkness.
“I have told you, husband. The relic destroyed itself because of your overuse. We also used it for a long time but the times you used it now made it incredibly weak that it crumbled. You distorted the mortal realm too much that you even created a storm.” The God Queen Hera stated.
“I am not going to clean all of this up. I will just fix the broken things but do not believe that I will clean all the floors here.” The God Hephaestus stated as he started walking back to his smithy.
“Children, clean everything up.” The God Queen Hera commanded.
“Yes, mother.” The children of Zeus that was left answered as they started using their divine power to shine the floors.
“Now I know why Ares and Hephaestus suddenly went away.” The God Hermes stated as she was using his super speed to polish the charred floor.

Adrian, the culprit on why the Head of Janus suddenly became dust, is now running away at fast speed towards the nearest spatial distortion that he could find. He actually acted like a deer with head lights, but he was able to escape when he snapped out of it. Fortunately for him, the veil of darkness that covered him did not get released when he teleported.
“I almost died. I was so mesmerized by the magic formation that I blanked out for a moment.” Adrian thought as he saw the magic runes that were incredibly detailed and beautifully created. The God King Zeus was not just an arrogant god that creates children with mortals but a god that has mastery over natural magic.
[You have gained one level.]
[You have gained one Luck stat.]
[Your companion, Piggy Bank, has successfully completed the quest Strengthen Your Helper.]
Adrian suddenly saw the three notifications which meant that Piggy Bank has finally completed the quest. He thought that he would need a few more days but his merchant friend is incredibly skilled. Adrian finally found the spatial distortion that he was looking for and touched it to get outside of Olympus.

“I actually got a skill from that. Although, I feel like I cheated a little bit because of the Helm of Darkness.” Adrian stated as he touched the Helm of Darkness and it started to vanish into the shadows.
[You have used the favor that the God of Death Hades have given you. You can no longer use the powers of the Helm of Darkness when you enter Olympus.]
[Piggy Bank: I managed to successfully finish the current quest. Can we meet each other so that I can share the last quest with you?]
Piggy Bank called Adrian to tell him that the next quest is already given to him. It seems that the quest buddy must be near Piggy Bank in order to receive the next upgraded quest. Adrian could feel that Piggy Bank was anxious which is why he immediately vanished from the area and returned to Avalon.
Adrian returned to Avalon to see Piggy Bank a little bit worried about something but one could see the helper, Coin, flying around him. It seems that the helper that used to be sluggish has finally become incredibly active. Adrian could also feel that the helper is now emitting powerful divine energy compared to before as if the god inside of it has finally been activated.
“You are finally here! I can finally share the quest! Please take a look at it.” Piggy Bank stated as he shared the quest to Adrian.

“What the heck!” Adrian blurted out loud as he could not believe that the clear conditions should be completed within 20 days.
“I know. I am already panicking because the quests are not something that should be given to a merchant like me! A Golden Goblin is actually a level 300 monster that prioritizes running away when one encounters them! I have never seen a player actually catching one with the intention of catching one. It even tells me to find a relic that is related to a god! I think I might pass out from the shock.” Piggy Bank stated.
“Make sure to breathe. One and three are not impossible as there are ways in getting them cleared. The only one I am not sure about is the golden goblin as they are beings that are incredibly elusive.” Adrian stated.
“Actually, I received a skill called I Smell Treasure which lets me track treasures and golden goblins. The only problem is that it always gives a vague direction and not an exact location.” Piggy Bank stated.
“Let us clear the first one then. We need to find a Treasure Ticket that can activate the Treasure Dungeon.” Adrian stated as he needed to start now since they only have 20 days for everything.
