The Mirror Of God
Episode 4: The Resurrection
The Gate of the Underworld
Hendrick attacked the Minotour Devil with an extremely powerful force, his speed was completely invisible to the eye, even Theo who could previously see his movements, this time could not see his movements at all, he attacked that Minotour Devil with all his strength.
The Minotour Devil was hit by Hendrick's sword strike on his neck, his neck scratched and he died, but suddenly there were many spirits coming from within and covering the neck of the injured Minotour Devil and the Minotour Devil coming back to life, all who saw it were astonished and amazed by the power of the Minotour Devil.
"He's alive again!" Shouted Derry
Hendrick did not give up, his attack just completely depleted his stamina, he again attacked the Minotour Devil but his movements were slower than his previous movements, and blussss..... The Minotour Devil's horn coming out of his body attacked Hendrick and stabbed Hendrick right in the head, until Hendrick's head was cut off and Hendrick was killed instantly.
"He's crazy Theo, can we back off?" Evan asked in fear
"We've come here, we can raise them up again by stealing the spirit from Hades if we can get into the Underworld." Theo
The Minotour Devil did not attack again, he kept silent and looked towards Theo's troops.
"I won't attack if I'm not threatened." The Minotour Devil
"Let us in, I won't hurt you." Theo
"You think it's that easy, young man? I swear to the God of Hades to guard this place until my body is blown to pieces, whatever your reason for entering I will not let you into the Underworld." The Minotour Devil
Derry patted his back, and he hinted to back off first.
"We'd better retreat, we won't win." Derry
Theo realized his strength was much reduced drastically when attacked by Zeus, so he who was now would not win at all against the creatures in front of him, he said, even he could be killed easily if he continued to force his way in and fight with the Minotour Devil.
"All right, take their bodies and we'll find shelter." Theo
The troops carried the dead bodies of Elliad and Hendrick in the hands of the Minotour Devil, making a small camp not far from the gates of the Underworld, Theo was really weak at the moment and was extremely helpless his companions died in front of him.
"I might win against him." Kara Baron
"Don't Baron, you can also be killed if we are rash, the trip to the Underworld is still very long to meet the God of Hades, we don't know what creatures are in it." Said Evan
"True, for now we better not lose any more friends." Derry
All was quiet, then Hermes came out of nowhere to meet them.
"Don't see Theo." Hermes suddenly said
"Hermes! How did you find us here." Theo
"I've always been watching you, for now me and the other Gods are setting up a plan to overthrow Zeus, but we need you Theo, so we are currently hiding just like you, my goal here is to sew Hendrick's neck and cast a spell on them so that their bodies don't rot and I'll also renew the spell I gave Chloe." Hermes
"Thank you." Theo said
"I'm not here long, after my business is done I will return to my place, oh yes you will not win against the Minotour Devil, Zeus-level will also have difficulty fighting him, the only way to defeat him, you must search for ancient beings just like him to be allies." Hermes
"Where's the place?" Ask Theo
"You've seen him, I can't give you more info, so you'll be stronger and more mature." Obviously Hermes
Theo nodded. After Hermes finished sewing Hendrick's neck and renewing his spell to Chloe. Then, Hermes left quickly from their place.
Theo thinks only one creature he has met before, he lives in the land of the Works, namely Phoenix, Theo doubts whether he should release the Phoenix from the land of the Works, but it is very time consuming, because to go to Karya on foot takes 6 months and to return to the Underworld again can take 1 year, even more.
"Are your thoughts the same as mine?" Ask Ganyan
"We must release the fire birds that are in the land of Karya." Theo
"Actually we don't have to go to the city of Karya." Ganyan
"How is it?"
"I'll call him." Ganyan
Then Ganyan pierced the tattoo in his right arm with a sword, blood flowing very much, Ganyan then brought a spell, Evan knew the spell.
"Don't Ganyan, don't ever remove the Phoenix seal from your body, don't ever cast a seal-releasing spell, you can die and the Phoenix will be furious and burn us all." Said Evan
"We don't know which is better, staying here and dying from not being able to enter the Underworld, or I'm going to meet Phoenix and also die, there's no choice, this is the only way."
The seal on Ganyan's body was removed, the tattoo on his body was gone, until suddenly the sky became very black, there was a rain of fire from the sky, they all ran away to avoid the fire, and they all ran away from the fire, an extremely noisy voice came from the blackened sky, a fire bird appeared from the sky and flew rapidly towards Ganyan, Ganyan did not dodge at all, and Duar!!! A very loud bang was heard when the body of the fire bird hit the body of Ganyan and Ganyan disappeared into dust, Ares child died with his whole body turned to ashes, he could not be resurrected. All who saw it were shocked, Theo's body was also shaking, Theo was very afraid of seeing the original Phoenix's shape, very different from the one inside the house.
The Phoenix raged and burned all the trees around it, Theo's army moved away and the Phoenix continued to rampage, the conditions around them became very hot, and, anything that touches the Phoenix will burn and disappear.
Then Phoenix looked towards Theo's army, quickly Phoenix tried to attack Theo's army and suddenly he stopped and looked towards Theo.
"I know you and I heard the news about you" Phoenix said
All were shocked as the Phoenix's behavior turned calmer after seeing Theo.
"I'm sorry sir, I killed your friend." Phoenix said again
"What do you mean, sir?" Ask Theo
"Your love may be erased, but I used to be your pet." Phoenix said
"Tell me the truth!" Shouted Theo
"Sorry sir, I can't tell you this, because I promised you not to tell the truth to your present self." Phoenix
"Don't we ever meet, but you didn't recognize me then?" Ask Theo
"Master is not at all the same, I heard from the people of the country that the master has come and I just realized that the young man who met me in that house was the master, I'm looking for you everywhere until I'm here to meet you by accident." Phoenix said
Theo is confused because he really does not know anything, all of which is also confused because of the limited information about Phoenix and Theo, who know all that only Chloe and Hermes, who know all that, but Hermes does not want to tell the true events and Chloe is dead, even Phoenix does not want to tell what happened.
"I need your help." Theo
"Whatever it is, sir, I'm ready to help you." Phoenix
"But sir..." Phoenix said
"What's wrong?"
"In the past, he defeated me and I was bound by a promise with Zeus not to attack him, if I took that promise off, Zeus would know and he would easily find you, even Zeus could kill me." Phoenix said
"Damn it! Why is the situation so difficult." Theo
Theo racked his brain, if Zeus came here all their plans would be for nothing, but this was the only choice they could make. Evan also thought the same thing Theo thought, it would not be easy if Zeus came here.
When the situation was in a dead end, they were suddenly shocked by a very beautiful woman who appeared in front of them, the woman was more beautiful than anything they had ever seen, when Phoenix saw the woman, Phoenix put up an attack mode, which could mean he was an enemy and Evan when he saw the woman, suddenly his body became weak and unable to move, he was frozen just by looking at it.
"In.a........ de.... A..the.....na." Evan said stammeringly
All were shocked and began to pose an attack, should Athena suddenly attack them.
"I was surprised that the Phoenix wanted to attack me just because of you." Athena spoke to Theo
"I don't hesitate to kill you, I don't care if Zeus knows that his son has been killed!" Theo
"You're still very weak Theo." Theo said
Without the sight of Athena attacking Theo's body until Theo fell and could not move his body, everything there was also very afraid, even Phoenix was also frightened to see the difference in strength with the Goddess Athena.
"What are you doing to me, my body seems numb." Theo
"You should realize why Evan rebelled against Zeus, when he was my son, because I was like him, I didn't like my father." Says Athena
All were very surprised to hear Athena say, how could a son of Zeus, his favorite daughter did not like her own father, whereas if it is thought all the power he has now is the legacy of Zeus and Zeus take care of him to be his successor if there is something that is not desirable to happen.
"But you are the heir to the throne!" Shouted Derry in disbelief
"Foolish man, you only hear hereditary tales, that's what makes your brains cramped." Says Athena
"So what's the real fact?"
"Ah I don't want to tell you, essentially me and Zeus are not on the same side, so I offer you something." Says Athena
"What's that?" Said Theo in a position that was still like that
"I will train Theo and after that you will enter the underworld, with the strength you have now, you cannot win against Hades." Says Athena
"Then, where do you want to train me?" Ask Theo
"On Olympus." Athena said
All who heard it were confused, Theo thought that if it was true that they had returned to Olympus it would be like suicide, even if it was the fastest way of death, it could have been Athena lying and she actually wanted to give up Theo's army, but if she wanted to she could have easily killed us all here.
"I want to." Theo
The baron who had been silent was furious at Theo's words.
"You're totally crazy Theo! I'll kill him so he can't fool you." Baron
Before the Baron attacks Athena, Athena blows the Baron first and makes the Baron feel the same way that Theo feels, he is numb and unable to move his body.
"It's very strong." Baron murmured
"So, I ask you one more time, will it or not?" Ask Athena
All those who were there actually did not agree and did not want to join Athens, but their decision was in Theo, because Theo was leading them and Theo was recorded in the prophecy, he said, so inevitably they have to follow what Theo says.
"I want to." Theo said confidently
Athena smiled, then she released her magic. Theo, Baron, and Evan escape from his magic and they can again move, before they leave Athena wants to reward Theo.
"I'll give you a gift, because you believe in me." Says Athena
"What's that?" Ask Theo
"Choose one of your three dead friends to turn on, I will enter the Underworld and meet Hades to ask for one spirit, he said, I have the special authority to take a human spirit once every 3000 years to be my army, usually I take a strong and clever spirit and then I put it into my man-made man, in the last 3000 years I have not taken anyone's soul, so I still have the opportunity to take the spirit as I see fit." Says Athena
"I chose Chloe." Theo said without hesitation
"As your request."
Athena then disappears, they only wait 10 minutes until finally Athena comes again in front of them, she brings the spirit in her hands, which she carries is the spirit of Chloe, because her face is the same as Chloe, because her face is indeed the same as Chloe, she said, then he put Chloe's soul into her body until Chloe finally regained consciousness. The first thing Chloe said was when she woke up.
"Andrew, did we win the test?" Ask Chloe
Theo cried and immediately hugged her, she couldn't help but miss Chloe, she hugged her so strongly as if she wouldn't let go of her embrace. Everything there was also touched, even Phoenix was crying, the cry of fire came out of his eyes, his struggle had been realized, he finally managed to revive Chloe back with the help of Athena, Chloe was confused, and she was very happy, he doesn't know what's really going on.
"We won, right? This where?" Ask Chloe
"I'll tell you later, don't leave me again Chloe." Theo
Theo returns to tears and hugs Chloe back, Athena is tired of seeing the drama and she shatters the atmosphere of a heartwarming reunion.
"I want to throw up to see you all, your job is not done Theo, your two friends are still dead and you have to take the soul from Hades, so it's time we go to Olympus, you're all ready?" Ask Athena
They all nodded, except for Chloe who had been confused by what had happened. Instantly, they move to Olympus and their faces change due to the magic of Athena.
"Rest in the room I have prepared, tomorrow morning I will train you." Says Athena
Theo nodded, the moment he had been waiting for finally arrived. Then Theo pulls Chloe into his room.
"I want to be with you right now." Theo
Chloe is confused and follows Theo, although their faces change for a while, but their hearts do not change at all.
