Chapter 47: Nemesis Did Changed
[Excellent, you're very lucky indeed. All those lucky status points that my son and daughters wanted to bestow upon you, and that I accepted, are working in your favour. I'm very happy for you, you've managed to acquire a truly enormous power].
This window reminded James once again how lucky he was, and it wasn't just that he had such abilities, or that he had the gacha system, or that he could see the true nature of anything.
He was lucky that huge guilds like Olympus and Asgard were behind him, and on top of that, all Chaos-Born cared about him.
It was a perfect irony. All the gods and goddesses that people worshipped were now willing to go so far as to sacrifice themselves for a mere human and even give up their energy.
Indeed, he was able to attain all of this thanks to this special ability Chaos had given him, and somehow he had the strange ability to see the realities of beings. If this wasn't pure luck, what was pure luck?
"Thank you, my lady," James said suddenly, his smile so pure and genuine that even he couldn't remember the last time he had smiled like that.
Just then there was a knock on the door of the room and then Nemesis himself walked in.
"Hmm...the pain in your body should be gone, the way you're moving."
As Nemesis uttered these words, James suddenly wrapped a blanket around his body. Even though he was wearing a pair of knickers, it was a woman, he couldn't even describe how embarrassed he was, he was like a child.
"You can stop hiding it, it's nothing I haven't seen before," Nemesis suddenly said, looking like she was about to laugh.
Hearing this, James immediately reached into his inventory and pulled out some tracksuits and put them on. Then he gestured to the seat and said, "Please sit down, my lady."
Nemesis did exactly as James said and sat down.
"I just wanted to check on you one last time before I went back to my floor, to see if you were all right."
James smiled when he heard these words and then said, "Thank you very much, my lady, thank you for coming to help. I really would have died if it hadn't been for you."
After these words, Nemesis got up from where she was and sat down next to James, then kissed James softly on the cheek and spoke seriously:
"The Tenth Floor will be a different kind of test. A tournament. You must win if you want to see me again."
James was already busy being embarrassed when he heard those words, but the question still arose in his mind:
"I don't see what you have to do with the tournament, my lady..."
Nemesis smiled as soon as he heard this sentence and then said, "If you win the tournament, you get a ticket. You can go anywhere with this ticket only once. In this case, Olympos is also among these places. So you will have a chance to meet me, my mum, my dad and everyone else."
When James heard these words, he suddenly jumped into the air and jumped with happiness as if dancing.
"Am I going to get to meet my lady"' he suddenly said, and Nemesis, who heard this, grumbled a little, "Aren't you excited to see me again? Not even when I'm so interested in you?"
Hearing these words, James averted his eyes and then Nemesis laughed before he could say anything:
"Hahahahah! You're interesting, I'm sorry for making fun of you, it was fun." Nemesis said and with that, she created a gate again before entering the gate, she turned around and added "Whatever you do, James, win." and entered the gate.
And all that was left behind was a red-faced James.
"Weren't you too hard on him, Neme?"
The moment Nemesis stepped out of the portal, a voice called out towards her. The smile on Nemesis' face suddenly vanished and her face turned in the direction of the voice.
"Apate," Nemesis said suddenly.
Apate was known as the Goddess of Betrayal and the embodiment of deception. She was one of the spirits in Pandora's box, one of the last children born to Nyx, and her favourite activity was to annoy Nemesis and Thanatos with her little sister Philotes.
Which meant that Apate always had Philotes with her.
"Come on, sis, you know who I am. They don't call me the goddess of compassion, friendship, gender and infatuation for nothing. I can see you're head over heels in love with him. If you only knew how angry you get at the mention of our mother's name!"
As Philotes spoke these words, Nemesis shook her head as if she didn't care about them and then began to walk towards Nyx, who was sitting on the throne opposite her. Suddenly kneeling in front of Nyx, Nemesis said, "I have completed my mission, mother."
Hearing this, Nyx, with a big smile on her face, asked, "You're in love with him, aren't you?" Hearing these words, Nemesis replied with great embarrassment, "I may be a little interested in him, that's all."
After these words, Erebus stepped forward and said, "The person I want to make mine, huh?" Even the God of Darkness seemed to be trying hard not to laugh.
Hearing these words, Nemesis rolled her eyes amidst the laughter of the family members around her and then said, "It could have happened, I'm a living person, I want to taste love and he is more than enough so can we let it go?"
These words suddenly silenced all the laughter, it was like a slap in the face for them to see Nemesis being so serious.
No one had expected a goddess as serious and down-to-earth as Nemesis to agree to such a thing, after all, she was a woman who would even disregard her family's orders to do what she thought was right.
Who would have believed she was in love?
