Chapter 174 - 174: Brothers

"My brother…

Lord Hermes"

Van could not help but blink numerous times as Hercules suddenly kneeled in front of hi his knees, Hercules was still taller than him

Brother? What brother? If he was his brother then he should at least be as tall as hi that entered Van's mind

"What?" He , Mister Hercules I am not this Hermes you speak of I have seen him in my dreams and we do not look alike… at all"

Van then let out a long and deep sigh Besides, the Heriant

"According to one of er of the Gods," Van said without any hesitation Hercules seemed to know more about his Syste what he could do

"Yes," Hercules nodded, "That alone is proof that you are Lord Herer It will all return to you soon"

""

"Do not mention this to Lord Ares once you est one of us all"

"Ares?"

"Hm After all, you are the only one able to travel between different diic that only the Seraphs have, only you are capable of such a feat"

""

The Seraphs again… according to his last dream, the Seraph and Her the Portal Calamity in the first place That is if they truly were memories and not just dreams

"This war you speak of, Mister Hercules… Why did it happen?"

Hearing Van's question, Hercules could not help but shake his head, "The Seraphs caive up our claim to this universe…

And perhaps we should have just given it" Hercules then let out a long and deep sigh, his eyes tre as he looked at the horizon of darkness in front of the left to rule The one"

""

"I am afraid that is all I know… or perhaps like you, I have chosen to forget"

"But you said you wanted me to send you back to your world… But is this not your world… your home?"

"It is, but how can one even call this home?" Hercules let out a s at the entirety of the Pit even as he kneeled "This is not the ho about the only place that was untainted by our silly war It is in this universe, but at the same time, it is not"

"Olympus?" Van muttered

As soon as Van's words reached Hercules' ears, he once again let out a scoff, "That is the first thing the Seraphs destroyed"

"What?"

"In truth, this plan was birthed by you and Lady Athena," Hercules then looked Van straight in the eyes, "A hastened plan… but it was the best the two of you ca you drifted between our universe and theirs It was truly aes in such a short span of time"

"A plan?"

"Hm," Hercules nodded, "To send all of us to the only place not fragain rise up froth and seek revenge to those who laid waste to our beautiful world…

To a place where the Souls of the mortal reside"

"You…" Van finally realized what Hercules was asking of hier… to send all of us to the Afterlife"

Hercules then stood up, his eyes not leaving Van's a single bit

"Kill me, Lord Hermes… Fulfill your duty"

"W… what?" Van could not help but slightly back away as he looked at Hercules' towering figure Countless thoughts were residing within his ht now He still did not knohether what Hercules was telling hih chance it was true since he knew information that only Van knew

But still… even with the revelation circling in histhat surfaced from it…

"How?" He breathed Hoill he be able to kill soet fro Van's ed his shoulders, "It is up to you If you are worried about the pain, then you do not have to worry; no physical pain could be greater than the pain I have already endured"

""

"I ht have ht I was the first you have met?"

"I have met someone named… Arachnaea"

"Did you send her back!? I reckoned she wouldn't have wanted that" Hercules let out an amused expression as soon as Arachnaea's naave me a feather"

"A feather?" Hercules then furrowed his eyebrows, "No, it matters not She is a bit weird"

"A bit?"

"So you did not send her back? I suppose that would be her wish, she disliked being with us, after all"

"No," Van shook his head, "It was not that she asked me to… it was more like I could not even leave a scratch on her And you, Mister Hercules…
