Chapter 778: Invasion? Wrong, this is called an unexpected visit.

'She told me to handle them, but... That's impossible,' Thanatos thought as he observed Nyx, Aphrodite, Scathach, and Morgana from a distance.

After Ruling for a long time, Persephone had gained a better perspective on things. And throughout this process of evolution, Thanatos had always been by her side. It could be said that he'd witnessed the Goddess's growth into becoming a splendid Queen.

Currently, as The Personification of Death for The Greek Gods, Thanatos had become Persephone's most reliable subordinate. Any problem The Queen of The Underworld encountered, she'd send Thanatos, along with several other subordinates, such as the Furies and the new servants she'd created using the Souls of the condemned.

Most of the time, Thanatos took a proactive stance and "eliminated" the threat, but this action was impossible in the face of the Beings before him.

If it weren't for who he was, Thanatos was certain that he would have been discovered already...𝓃𝑂𝓋𝑬𝗅𝑢𝓢𝒷.𝐜𝚘𝔪

His thoughts were interrupted when his mother turned her head towards him and stared at him. The woman smiled slightly and continued following Scathach.

'Yes, she saw me,' Thanatos internally groaned, annoyed. Even though he grew in Divinity and became a God, he still couldn't deceive the senses of his mother or father. This fact left him extremely frustrated.

"What should we do? Killing them is impossible; we're dealing with a God Slayer, a Primordial Goddess, The Goddess of Beauty, and a Former General of The Demons here," Hypnos spoke.

"I'm not interested in the others. I just want my mother," said a tall woman with long black hair, eyes as black as pure darkness, gray skin, and various dark tribal tattoos moving across her arms.

This woman was Nemesis, The Personification of Vengeance in Greek Mythology.

"Our mother has already found us," Thanatos said.

"Really? Great, I should go after her," Nêmesis began to speak but was interrupted by her brother.

"Nemesis," Thanatos spoke with a stern voice that froze the woman. "Be patient."

"... Fine," she crossed her arms and turned her face away.

Despite disliking her brother most of the time, Nemesis still respected him. After all, among their siblings, he had always been present throughout their immortal existence. That was reason enough to listen to him... Most of the time.

Yes, as The Goddess of Vengeance, she was extremely volatile, especially when it came to the targets of her "vengeance." Since her mother hadn't visited her in a long time (currently 365 million days and counting...), Nemesis was filled with vengeful feelings toward her.

It was true that they were never a normal family; after all, they were Gods, but couldn't their mother just talk to her occasionally?

Nemesis wondered what had happened between her mother and her father for their once-close family to fall apart like this. Thousands of years ago, they lived normally and were a very united family, but everything started to deteriorate when the relationship between Nyx and Erebus soured.

To this day, none of the siblings knew what caused such a separation. They never mentioned the subject to anyone outside the family, and because of this, most of the Greek Gods were unaware that The Primordial Gods Nyx and Erebus were no longer together.

Now that she was a little calmer and thinking about it, Nemesis wondered why her mother was helping these Mortals.

"Why is my mother with them?" Nemesis asked, but she was completely ignored by Hypnos and Thanatos, who had been conversing for some time while she lost herself in her own thoughts.

"The Queen was clear and specific. She said: deal with them. That means she left the decision entirely in my hands, Hypnos."

"I know that, and that's why I'm asking what we should do. Fighting against them is impossible. I don't see how I can defeat my mother."

"Not to mention the damn Aphrodite and her irritating Charm," Hypnos said.

"The priority here is to figure out why they are in The Greek underworld," Thanatos said.

"We should only fight if necessary."

"How rare to see you making a peaceful decision, brother... It's almost as if you're scared," Nemesis asked.

"I am Death incarnate; I don't feel fear."

Hypnos shuddered at his brother's words.

Observing his brother's strange reaction, Thanatos asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing... I just had a bad feeling when you said those words," Hypnos said.

Thanatos and Nemesis fell silent. As siblings, they knew very well that Hypnos's instincts were very accurate. They didn't know exactly when it started, but they knew what caused this enhancement in his instincts.

Morpheus, one of Hypnos's thousand children, had become The Personification of Dreams. When this particular child of Hypnos grew up and awakened The Divinity of Dreams, Hypnos's instincts became much sharper, like a sixth sense.

This characteristic was shared, but even more advanced, by Morpheus.

They didn't know what caused this change. After all, the abilities of the Gods were individual to each of them. Each one of them was unique. The fact that Hypnos had this sixth sense made no sense at all.

It was as if Hypnos and Morpheus were connected by a relationship far beyond father and son, more like two equal Entities. The reason they thought this way was because Morpheus was basically a copy of Hypnos. It was as if they were looking at a long-lost twin brother. Another strange thing was that Morpheus didn't treat Hypnos as his father but as an equal.

Thanatos and Nemesis had always had doubts about Morpheus and Hypnos, but they never delved into the subject. After all, it wasn't their problem. Each of Hypnos's children had their own responsibility.

"What exactly did you feel, Hypnos?" Nemesis asked.

"Hmm... I felt like Thanatos would bitterly regret the words he said, and for some reason, I would be involved too," Hypnos said.

Nemesis nodded. She looked at Thanatos and declared, "You're screwed."

Thanatos truly had no arguments to contest that statement. There were no coincidences when it came to Gods. Long ago, all the siblings accepted that Hypnos and Morpheus had some prophetic ability to sense bad things coming, whether for themselves or for the people around them. If he said he felt that something was going to happen, it probably would.

...

"Aphrodite," Scathach began.

"Yes?"

"Hostiles at six o'clock, two... Wrong, three Beings."I think you should take a look at

Aphrodite narrowed her eyes and expanded her Divine Senses but couldn't find anything.

"Are you sure?" Aphrodite asked.

"Do you doubt me?"

"...Of course not." It took Aphrodite a moment to respond. She didn't want to underestimate Scathach or anything like that, but she was a Goddess, a Titan. Her senses were very strong, and few Beings could hide from her.

And what was Scathach? She was just a Noble Vampire. Powerful, sure, but still a "Mortal."

The notion that Victor was similar never crossed Aphrodite's mind despite the fact that he was "just" a "Noble Vampire". Unconsciously, she was putting him on the same level as the Gods.

Aphrodite's hesitation was all Scathach needed to understand that she was indeed doubting her.

"Tsk, this is why I don't like amateurs," suddenly, Scathach changed the direction of her run toward the area she mentioned before.

Runes began to glow intensely on her spear, and midway, her hair started turning white as snow, her skin became much paler than usual, and the cold of the Countess who controlled Ice spread throughout The Greek Underworld.

Scathach wasted no time; she was dealing with Gods here, so she transformed into the perfect Vampire Count Form and assumed a position to throw her spear while murmuring to herself.

"Celestial Piercing."

The moment those words were spoken, the Runes on her spear began spinning at a high intensity, emitting an even more threatening glow. In the next instant, she launched the spear.

All this process happened within milliseconds, and before the enemies realized it, a spear shining in a menacing red was already heading toward them.

Specifically towards the head of a certain Being, The Embodiment of Death.

"Thanatos-" Hypnos's voice was heard.

But Thanatos didn't have time to react; he was completely stunned. In less time than a blink of an eye, he was already staring at the tip of the spear near his eye, and as the spear pierced his skull, all he felt was 'fear,' something he claimed to have never felt before.

The spear went through Thanatos's head, causing it to vanish from existence. In the next moment, the reactions to what Scathach had just done began to occur.

Several delayed booming sounds were heard, and the ground in front of them split straight open. In the next moment, an explosion occurred, and a literal mountain of Ice was created on the horizon, completely altering the biome of The Greek Underworld.

"Holy..." Aphrodite opened her eyes wide in the face of that scene, and it was at that moment that all her previous thoughts about Scathach were shattered.

The woman before her was not just a "Mortal". She was one of the few people who reached The Grandmaster level in a Martial Art, something even the Gods specialized in Martial Arts couldn't achieve. She was Scathach Scarlett, The Strongest Female Vampire, Master of The Greatest Genius born in this era, a God Hunter, a Title granted only to Mortals who managed to kill a God.

'No wonder Victor is so obsessed with her,' Aphrodite thought.

If asked which of Victor's Wives he was most obsessed with, Aphrodite would answer without hesitation that it was Scathach. The older woman simply resonated with him so well, as if they were both existing on the same frequency, complementing each other.

"Thanatos!" Hypnos and Nemesis shouted in shock, looking at Thanatos's body.

Scathach raised her hand, and in the next moment, the spear she had thrown returned to her hand at high speed.

"Now, do you believe me, Aphrodite?" Scathach looked at her with a gaze capable of freezing even the core of a planet.

Aphrodite saluted militarily, "Yes, ma'am! Of course, I believe in you! I never doubted you from the beginning!"

Scathach rolled her eyes and ignored the Goddess.

Although impressed by what she had just witnessed, Morgana didn't lose sight of her goal. From the beginning, she had been observing Nyx.

'For a moment during the walk, she turned her head... I didn't pay attention because I thought she was looking at the surroundings, but she had already located the three Gods long before us.' Morgana's eyes emitted a threatening pure radiation. She was ready to use all her Power at any moment.

"You did a good job noticing them and even taking down one of them, but... you chose the wrong God, Scathach. You can't 'kill' The Embodiment of Death itself." As Nyx finished speaking, a pillar of pure morbid darkness emerged from Thanatos's body.

"Due to the Anti-God Enchantments on your spear, that attack could permanently kill any other God, but... not The Embodiment of Death. To kill Thanatos, you'd need to erase his existence with The Concept of END or destroy his Soul with The Concept of SOUL, a Power similar to what your Husband possesses."

As soon as Nyx finished speaking, Thanatos's body rose from the ground.

Scathach narrowed her eyes as she realized that he hadn't suffered any damage.

'Even my Enchantments of Poisoning, Bleeding, Organ Failure, Bone Destruction, Weakening Curses, and Tracking were completely eliminated... It's as if his entire existence was reset when he was struck down,' Scathach thought.

"Brother... Sometimes, I hate your instincts," Thanatos said as he looked at Hypnos.

"I hear that a lot." Hypnos nodded and then asked, as he looked at the group of invaders, "And now, what do we do?"

"Nothing... You will go home like good children and won't get in mommy's way."

The three opened their eyes wide when Nyx just appeared in their midst and said: "Tell Persephone to look for a dildo to play with elsewhere. The ungrateful woman does not know how to appreciate those who helped her in the beginning." She grumbled at the end.

The three were covered by a veil that looked as if it were the night sky, and in the next moment, they were in Persephone's castle.

"God dammit! I hate it when she does that!" Nemesis roared.

Back to Nyx, The Goddess of The Night clapped her hands together and nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the women and spoke:

"Shall we continue?"

At that moment, everyone understood why she was called The Primordial Goddess. The only one who managed to observe what Nyx did was Scathach, and that's because she was accustomed to fighting with Victor, who fought at high speeds.

"By the casual way she did everything, I can tell she can go even further, and since she's in her territory, that Power must grow even stronger..." Scathach smiled lightly, revealing her sharp teeth.

It looked like the trip would be a lot more interesting than Scathach initially thought.
