Chapter 46: Desire Of Nemesis
"So you're telling me you're Nemesis. The daughter of my goddess?"
When Datura said these words she still could not believe what was happening, she was sure her head was spinning with excitement.
The imperial family, important families in the empire and important people of the church had arrived at the palace almost 4 hours ago, all here to see Nemesis.
"That's right, can't you feel the aura around me?" Nemesis said, and as soon as she said this, the entire palace and even the 5th floor began to shake.
The pressure was so enormous that more than half of the people in the palace had already fainted. Almost every one of those inside the room fainted and those who managed to stay standing started to hold their throats.
It was as if they were drowning.
At that very moment, Nemesis' head moved a few centimetres and all the pressure on the 5th floor disappeared.
"Come on Mother, it is not like I killed people, it will not affect me that much, I am your daughter no?"
After speaking these words, she smiled and snapped her finger.
"Snap!"
After this finger snap, every single person in the room woke up and looked at Nemesis with fear, it seemed to indicate that every single person on the entire 5th floor had woken up.
"Oh my Goddess..." said Aether, catching Nemesis' attention at that moment.
"Hah...the one with my brother's name, how ironic...."
Smiling at these words, Nemesis looked around the room and then began to speak seriously:
"Something that should never have happened in the 9th Floor's exam. Umbra almost died, but through luck or skill he managed to survive for a few seconds, and I, with the power of my mother, managed to descend from the 79th floor. Exactly 70 floors."
Every single person who heard these words swallowed, albeit shyly, and it was impossible not to be amazed by Nyx's enormous power.
It was already difficult enough for a superior god to descend to the lower floors, but the fact that he could send someone else was truly an expression of unlimited power.
"The moment I landed on the 9th floor, I felt something. Someone or something somehow intervened with the tower and made something that should not exist on the 9th floor, at least not anymore. This intervention was made from the 5th floor. This thing was maybe a person or a piece of treasure, after all, the gods have some pretty strange things, to intervene in other things."
When these words entered everyone's ears, Datura fell on both knees with a very serious expression, not in admiration this time, and then said, "What are your orders, my lady, please tell me."
Nemesis smiled and nodded her head proudly when she heard this, then spoke towards Datura:
"I want you to find that person, people or thing and I want you all to bring them to me. Whatever it takes or however you guys do just find them and bring them to me. Even if it takes for half of the Empire to die, make sure they are kneeling before me because I assure you young women whoever tries to hurt what I want to make mine will be killed by my own hands. Got it?"
When Nemesis uttered these words, Datura nodded and said as if she understood the orders, "The Church and the Empire will carry out your orders, my lady. It is an honour to serve you and the warrior."
Yet, as in the realm of the gods, no one seemed to question the phrase "What I want to make mine", it was a strange phenomenon.
"I'm glad to hear that, I know you will do your duty well, my work here is done, get to work at once," said Nemesis, standing up and then opening his palm and pointing it forward, in a short time a portal appeared and disappeared through it.
Nemesis, who had indeed come like a storm, disappeared as if nothing had happened.
The moment Nemesis left the room, every single person in the room was panting, their whole bodies drenched in sweat.
"OH MY GODDESS, WE SEE A REAL GODDESS! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED?" the empress said.
"Nothing like this has happened since the Empire was first founded, it was unbelievable, did you see the pressure? If Lady Nemesis is that powerful and she hasn't even made it to the end of the tower, what about our Goddess Nyx?" replied Aether.
They were indeed miserable, the exhaustion in their bodies beyond comprehension.
On James' side, things were different.
[James] Aren't you going to tell me what happened? Why did I feel my father's energy in you, what happened?]
James smiled as he looked at the window in front of him and then opened the ability panel by saying "That's what happened, my lady."
[Aura of Chaos(Creator+++++)
The player can borrow the Aura of Chaos at any time for one minute only.
While the aura is in use, the player cannot be harmed by anything, cannot be poisoned in any way, and cannot be affected by any magic.
The opened area of the aura will be exactly 30 metres wide and the status of allies within the area will increase by 50%.
The player's powers will increase by 100% within the area, and the enemies powers will be reduced by 10%.
This ability has a cooldown of 1 month].
James smiled again as he demonstrated the ability, and smiled at the fact that he had obtained an ability of such enormous power. The possibilities of using the ability were so great that he did not even know exactly how to explain it.
The only thing he did know was that even if he was pursued by a top-tier god, not someone like Nemesis, he would be able to become completely resistant to them for a full minute.
The only shortcoming of the ability was that there was a waiting period of one month. Of course, this was understandable, after all, the ability was really, really powerful.
One thing was certain, though, and that was that James had acquired two priceless abilities. They were worth tens of times more than the abilities Nyx had given him.
