Chapter 637: Elias the Little Poseidon (2/2)
”...”
”He started from 40th Floor and reached all the way up to the 60th Floor, all in three days while also fortifying the seals on each floor he passed along the way.”
”...”
”You know the Styx River is always filled with devils escaping from the pagoda right? Well, as soon as he came out of the 60th floor, he wiped out every single sea devil within Styx River, leaving it burning with white flames and making my job easier.”
A screen of light appeared before Elias, depicting the current state of Styx River. The whole river was covered in flames, which was an extremely bizarre scene for anyone who witnesses it.
”...”
”Young Lord Raven has never been idle. When he's not clearing up the Devil Emperor's Pagoda and fortifying the seals within, he's hands-on with the overall sect management. He's not yet the official Chronos yet but he's already sharing the burden with the current Sect Master. Which is why everybody who knows him admires him a lot and idolizes him for being so dedicated to our cause. I, your Big Brother is not an exception.”
”...”
”Nobody told him to do all of this. Everything he does, he does it out of his own free will. I never asked for his help since he already has too much in his hands and it's not really that difficult to watch over this small inconvenience. Yet when he appeared in our seas, not only he had completely cleared the 60th floor that contained the Great Leviathan and the Great Kraken, he also wiped out all devils in the Styx River which undoubtedly solve one of our biggest and most immediate problems.”
”Just with that alone, he save at least hundreds if not hundreds thousands of lives...yet when he appeared in our territory, instead of receiving a warm and heroic welcome, he got nothing and was even sexually harassed by one of our people...tell me Little Brother, did Young Lord Raven deserve any of this bullshit?”
”...”
”...maybe I really did spoil you a little too much. It's about time you learn your lesson.”
A brief silence descended within Elias' room. Shortly after that, another long, exhausted and disappointed sigh echoed in Elias' ears.
”I swore to protect your life Little Brother, and I'm still holding on to that promise. But this time, you've courted a disaster that not even I, could extricate you out from.”
”You've overstepped your boundaries and offended someone you absolutely can't afford to offend.”
”As I've said, I will do everything I could to preserve your life. But I also am the current Poseidon, I have my responsibilities that I need to uphold. Young Lord Raven is not happy with this treatment, and you, my dear Little Brother, is the main perpetrator of this.”
Elias' face was drained out of color as he closed his eyes and felt his heart threating to explode out of his chest. His whole body was shaking in fear and panic as his Big Brother slowly brought down righteous judgement onto to him.
”He might-no, knowing Young Lord's temperament, he will punish you. Whether he decides to throw you down to Tartarus, or summon the Council once again to deliberate on your fate, I wouldn't be able to help you out on this one. I can only guarantee that you will live.”
”...”
”He's coming towards the Palace.” Poseidon's voice said, ”Stay in your room and prepare yourself. I will receive him and try my best to ease-up his mood. Pray that this will work or else, you'll truly suffer.”
”I've said this before and I will say it again, this time I hope that you will etch this to your brain...”
”Little Brother, we're no longer the Gods that can summon the rain and clouds at our beck and call. We are bound to the sect and the sect is bound to us. You're not young anymore, you're 300 years old for crying out loud, act like it.”
”If you are a man, then take full responsibility of your actions. Clean up after yourself. Big Brother won't always remain by your side forever. You need to grow up...that's all.”
”Wait in your room, Young Lord Raven will most likely visit you.”
”That's it...I'm actually going to die this time.” Elias said as he collapsed on his bed.
