Chapter 190 Full Blown Disaster
As the countdown to the full moon began, chaos erupted in the heavens. With only a single day remaining until the celestial spectacle, the entire realm was abuzz with frenzied activity. Angels rushed to their posts, checking and double-checking their assignments, while the heavenly hosts scurried to complete their tasks before the lunar event. The air was thick with anticipation and nervous energy, as everyone knew that the full moon had the power to bring about significant changes in the universe. In this moment of heightened tension, anything could happen, and the stakes were higher than ever before.
During these few days after Fenrir used Tasha to hurt Artemis, he had been rather different compared to how he had been during the days when he used to play with goddesses and do unnecessary things with them.
"Fenrir! Come out, nothing is going to happen!" Edona shouted in worry, as she looked at Fenrir that hiding next to a tree with a scared look. The face of the cocky and prideful Fenrir was nowhere to be seen instead he looked like a timid and trembling feline, completely out of character for the fierce and formidable wolf apocalypse.
"Nooo! He's going to kill me, I can't come out, If I do he will," He shouted and hid his face.
Edona couldn't help but see this as a greater threat than his previous self, at the same time she felt a strange emotion. She didn't know why but she wanted to take care of this scaredy cat. She found this version of Fenrir more appealing than the prideful one who always bothered her.
"No one is here! No one is going to kill you," Edona said in a soothing voice, hoping to calm Fenrir down and gain his trust. She knew that building a relationship with him would take time and patience, but she was willing to do whatever it takes to help him overcome his fear.
"He is close, Tomorrow he will come to kill me," Edona listened attentively to Fenrir's words, trying to make sense of what he was saying. She could tell that he was genuinely scared and that whatever he was experiencing was real to him.
"Fenrir, can you tell me more about this unknown being? What does he look like? What does he want?" Edona asked, hoping to gather more information that could help her understand the situation.
Fenrir took a deep breath and tried to compose himself. "I don't know what he looks like, but he feels...wrong. Like he's not from this universe. It's a creepy feeling, I know that I should fear him, but at the same time, I don't know why or how I do that,"
To Edona it didn't make sense but, if Fenrir tells that he feels something then she knew it must be true.
"I'm with you, no matter who tries to harm you, I will be with you," Edona consoled him and got rather close to him.
"Why don't we do this? I will protect you from anyone, in exchange you can protect me and support me, Doesn't it feel good to have an ally?" She asked in a meek tone wondering whether it is the right time to bring this up. She slowly planned to bring him onto their side and use him, but she never expected to see him get this weak-minded within a small amount of time.
"..."
"..."
There was an awkward silence between them, but Fenrir didn't look like he fancied Edona's idea because what can she do against someone equally or more powerful than Fenrir when she is helpless against Fenrir?
"You! Don't talk nonsense, you can't even beat me, so how can you help me? besides where's the culprit who summoned me here? you still didn't bring him," In a dissatisfied tone, Fenrir muttered.
While they were talking Artemis came running in their direction in a flash with a panicked face. Edona who noticed this quickly looked at her and questioned her since she was worried.
"Artemis! What's wrong? Why are you running?" Edona questioned, but she heard something more worrying than she expected as she brought the most absurd news she heard in a while.
"Mother, Supreme Deity and other gods are attacking us, I don't know how, but they broke our borders and entered," The panic on her face was apparent as this was the top priority matter for both Edona and everyone in heaven.
"How? They can't bring down the borders, how did they do that? Who supported them? Someone must have done something," The only way to open the borders without interference from Edona, is to find the key she made in case of emergency, but it is in a place that cannot be accessed by anyone.
"Artemis, stay here with Fenrir, I need to check on something," Edona said and left the garden and entered her mansion.
Edona entered the secret chamber inside the castle with a sense of urgency, her mana heart pounding in her chest. She had to find the key to the borders of heaven and check whether her predictions were right. She scanned the room, her eyes darting from corner to corner, searching for any sign of the precious key.
But as she looked around the room, she quickly realized that something was wrong. The key was nowhere to be found. Panic set in as Edona frantically searched every nook and cranny, hoping against hope that she had simply overlooked it.
"Who? Who did this?" Her mind was in chaos looking at the empty shell, that the key was supposed to be in.
"Only one of my children can enter this room and still they would have to be at least Artemis level to reach this level," Edona quickly remembered every child of hers and wondered who was responsible for this. And she had the ability to sense who would enter this room through all the walls she built with her own mana.
"Why? Why would they?"
"Apollo and Artemis! You two! What are you up to?" Edona quickly left the chamber and went to the garden to see what were they planning, but soon her eyes popped out of her eyes sockets.
"How? How did this happen?" She muttered as soon as she saw the huge wolf in front of her, that kept chasing someone with anger on its face.
"Fenrir! What are you doing to transform back to your human form? Don't do this," She shouted, but it didn't manage to reach Fenrir.
Edona quickly got down from the castle and reached the place, where Artemis was supposed to be but she wasn't there anymore.
She gritted her teeth, her mind racing as she tried to come up with a plan to stop him.
"Come on, Edona, think," she muttered to herself and she knew there are no shortcuts when it comes to this absurd threat.
"Damn it! I will have to beat him again and turn him back to human form, last time it took every bit of my strength, but I have no choice right now," Edona thought and flew hoping she would be able to catch up with Fenrir before whatever he is trying to do.
"Hey, big guy!" she yelled, catching his attention. "What do you think you're doing?"historical
Fenrir snarled, his eyes glowing with rage. "I will kill the person who summoned me, I don't need your help just go back, I have no time to humour you, go back without pissing me off," he growled.
"I said I will find you the person, why are you acting selfish?" Edona said, a determined look on her face. "You're not going to hurt anyone else in the journey of killing that one person."
She flew circles around Fenrir, trying to distract him and lead him away from the village. He chased after her, his massive paws pounding the ground with each step.
"You can't run forever, Edona." he snarled. "I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to hide that person since he is your son, but I won't let you do that anymore, so he should pay for what he did,"
Suddenly Edona halted for a moment, she didn't know how he got to know about the fact that Apollo might be the one who summoned him, but things were getting too hard for her. She couldn't even deny his words. because they were partially right.
"I don-" She tried to lie, but she couldn't.
"Don't harm my other children and I want to talk with Apollo to know why he did that, so Fenrir," She looked at him with a begging look. After all this time she had grown somewhat attached to him so, she wanted to solve everything peacefully.
"Please calm down for now, You can definitely punish him for what he did but now isn't the time," At least she expected that Fenrir would listen to her considering how they spent their time in the past, but she misunderstood and forgot one thing that's important about him.
She forgot that he wasn't the type to remember about relationships and he is someone who acted on his personal interest.
"Noo! I should kill him before the full moon and nobody is stopping me, he is a danger to me, if he did something again," Fenrir answered her and sped up without even letting Edona catch up to her.
