Chapter 412: The Screams of the Universe
"W… What?"
"I already got their souls"
"What?"
Athena could only repeat her words as she looked Van straight in the eyes, before letting out a s, "Should I close the cells?"
"Go ahead?" Van also looked at Athena in confusion, "I already got them"
"" Athena then turned around towards one of the cells, only to see it painted with blood She took another step, just to find that the cell next to it was also covered in blood Did… Van just go through all the cells?
But there were et about not even seeing VanVan had already told her that his speed has improved drastically-- but to think it was to this point And it wasn't only his speed… since she couldn't even feel anything, then that wouldelse happened to his abilities as well
"You… improved," Athena could only mutter, "I think you could more than defeat my old self even when I still had ed, "I'h? But we'll see how ot here tonight"
"That's…" And as soon as Athena heard Van's sighs of disappointh of her own With the stories she had been telling Van, Hermes was already a mature God who has already lived for more than tens of millennia
Van has lived less than 30 years When Her havoc in Mt Oly everyone-- and still getting caught She could only iine what Van would be like a thousand years from now
No, even a hundred years would probably make him already faster than Hermes At that speed, he… would truly be alone No one will be able to-- "What is it?"
Athena's thoughts were then disrupted as she noticed that Van was staring at her in a sonant?"
"What?" Athena al as soon as she heard Van's words; but after a few seconds was able to collect herself
"I… don't think I a Evans," Athena then let out a long and deep sigh that somehow reflected the subtle sorrow hidden within her words, "I think the circuht?"
""
""
"I see you have gotten quite bold," Athena then let out a s into an Oly on her tablet, and as soon as she did so, the cell that was completely covered in blood near thele trace of dust inside
"The party won't end until a few hours so…
let's not wait until tonight"
"Miss Sarah"
"Evans? What are you doing here, shouldn't you be at the party?"
"W… well, I was in the area"
Van could not help but let out a s surrounded by soasps of aere still prevalent in the air, they all still bowed their heads towards Van as soon as he entered the lab
"How is it?" Van then curiously asked as he looked at what Sarah and the scientists were doing, only to see a drop of his blood inside a s to separate from the rest, but in the end, could not do so as it was pulled back to the bottom of the vial with the rest
"As you can see… I don't think I can't expand your blood," Sarah let out a sh as she stepped away from the rest of the scientists, "It's… too heavy, in a sense"
"But you could move Hermes's blood"
"He was dead," Sarah breathed out, "But I have a feeling that even if he was alive, his blood still would not be as heavy as yours, you brat Even Odin's blood was not this heavy"
"You've… fought Odin before?"
"Just a moment," Sarah scoffed, "I think I would have lost if we continued fighting, so I escaped"
"I… see," Van squinted his eyes, "Are you not going to join the party? I think it's going on until toh parties even before ere sent to this place"
"Well, just join for the food," Van chuckled, "There's plen--"
"Evans"
"Hm?"
"Your sister would have really been proud of what you're doing here," Sarah suddenlychance to what's to come"
"I'm… the reason why all of us are here in the first place," Van shook his head, "The least I can do is protect all of you who are still here"
"Who says we need protecting at all?" Sarah scoffed, "We're here because we survived against all odds, Evans Those standing before you are the strongest people you will ever meet in your life Heck, your sister would have been here if she wanted to extend her life"
"I could see that," Van chuckled at the thought of an old Andrea fighting her way through space
""
""
"Your sister would have been really proud of you, Evans"
"Hm…
… you already said that"
"How is she doing?"
"Oh, thevisits us lowly lifeforms"
""
Van could let out a short but deep breath as Latanya exaggeratingly turned around, causing her already colossal breasts to jingle violently Van quickly shook his head to ignore the pair, however, as he turned his head towards Skylar, as lying unconscious in bed
"She is supposed to be a sort of sister to Evangeline… I wonder why she's so weak?" Van then muttered
"Her blood's already been conta Skylar's bed before approaching Van, "She was part of that Circle thing, remember? They inserted Hermes's blood inside her-- it uys are to disappear"
"Hm," Van only breathed out as he heard Latanya's words, "If only that happened to Evangeline instead"
"Pft," Latanya chuckled before looking Van straight in the eyes, "And so, to what do e the honor of having you here?"
"Do I need a reason to check up on an old friend?" Van s up… Oh," Latanya then let out a soo to another room then? But I don't mind Skylar as a spectator"
"Should we?"
"" Hearing Van quickly answer her, Latanya could not help but blink a couple of tied It almost makes me not want to tease you anyed, as it would see and deep sigh, "And yet I feel like I don't really know any of you anymore… not really"
"What do you mean?"
"Most of you have lived your lives already Soain and changed everything again," Van muttered, "The truth is, if you really look at it… I'er in--"
"Does it matter?"
And before Van could continue his words, he felt hi him to droith her pair of colossal melons
"Does any of that matter?" Latanya then said; the tone of her voice completely warrown"
"I suppose," Van breathed out as he sh I still remember the scrawny kid who terrorized the entire pit," Latanya then gently pushed Van away as she burst out in laughter, "Iine what could have been if we just stayed in our little bubble"
"Yeah," Van then sighed as he turned around, "I'll let you rest, then Come to the party if Skylar wakes up"
""
"Van… you're planning on doing so, aren't you?"
"Hoodbye"
