Chapter 58 Part 5) Nix's Ultimatum (Patreon)

Everyone gave Erebus a disgusted look, but he did not care. To know the color of Khione’s underwear was all he needed to hear to dive into danger!

As such he quickly left to make his way to the location Nergal was in. He crossed the now vast ocean to reach the new continent. There, to his surprise, a massive battle was underway.

“You mortal bastards! How dare you fight against me!” The woman cursing the humans below was none other than Nergal. She had never expected that the humans inside the white castle would have a barrier that would block all her attacks. On top of that, they had strange weapons that almost tore a hole in the side. If she had not dodged, she may have just died!

But what made her angry the most was the fact that these lowly beings were just mortals yet wielded powers on par with the gods. She did not understand how these mortals even gained such power!

As she did her best to fend off the onslaught of the attacks, her eyebrow twitched when she felt another familiar presence nearby. “Erebus, stop watching and come help me!”

“Ah! But you are doing fine by yourself? Why should I have to jump in? If I did my wife would kill me. More importantly. What are you doing in the mortal world? It looks like you are struggling with these mortals.” Erebus tried to brush off Nergal’s request. He had no idea that his attitude and his blatant ignorance towards Nergal’s situation was digging him a fresh grave.

“I swear if you do not get over here and help me against these mortals I will hunt you down until the end of time!” Nergal had never been so pissed in her life. The way Erebus was speaking to her was as if he was higher in status than her! That would mean he was stronger than her! But, in fact, he was much weaker!

“I might be willing to help if you tell me what you are doing in the mortal world. I know its not to take in the sights or fight other gods. But you also need to promise me to not attack me if I do help you.” Erebus felt so good right now! He was able to talk down to Nergal, of all people! She was unable to do anything to him at this time. He had been walked over all this time by women it was finally time for him to stand up!

Nergal gritted her teeth as more and more blasts from the strange weapons hit her barrier, which was starting to crack. She could run away, but then she would become a joke in the upper world for retreating from a bunch of mortals! “Fine! Vinee sent me here to kill someone. And I promise not to harm you in any way if you help me out of this!”

It was a shame. A shame on her very being. This was why she hated leaving her palace. There were always stupid things like this. And now she was begging Erebus of all people!

“Then I will help you out then.” Erebus walked over to Nergal, who was still blocking the attacks below, reached out, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and lifted it above the waist!

“What the hell are you doing!?” Multiple voices boomed through the air.

Erebus froze when he heard the extra voices. It seemed he had forgotten that he was being watched. His head became fat due to the fact that Nergal made a promise so he thought he would take this chance to see what kind of underwear she was wearing. Who knew she was someone who went commando!? And on top of that, his wife and Khione, his love, had witnessed the entire thing!

“Erebus get your ass back here now so we can have a talk!” Nix’s voice filled the sky. She was quite angry at this time.

“Ye-yes…” Erebus lowered his head and quickly turned around. He was about to disappear when a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

“You bastard! You looked at me and want to run!? You better help me now!” There was no way in hell that Nergal was going to let this man go!

“Erebus, I said get back here now!” Nix did not care what was going on in Nergal’s mind. She needed to teach her husband a lesson.

“Nix! You can see I am in trouble here but yet you do not help!? Just let me borrow this bastard to fend off these mortals and I will call it even!” Nergal had never thought she would really need to plead with people. And more than one in a single day! She was even taken advantage of! What she hated most was that this was all Vinee’s fault. The woman did not even give her a chance to get fully dressed before going out! She has been using magic to keep people from seeing up her skirt.

“Why should I when you came here under that woman’s orders? Nergal… You need to think before you act. You can either forget what that woman asked you to do and side with us or you can become our enemy. Pick!”
