Chapter 1476 - The Route (2/2)
“The Underworld is just like any other alternate world; it’s an artificial and unstable one. Since it’s a poor artifact, it has to have some ‘anchor points’ in the real world. These anchor points ensure that it doesn’t break away from the real world. I know of one near Rome…”
“Luckily, they brought you here,” said Hessiana, looking at Hasse up and down. “How do you know all of this?”
Hasse sighed and answered, “Only the enemy can know you better than yourself, and we were the enemy of all otherworldlings. The demon hunters made countless preparations to break through the defenses of Mount Olympus. In fact, we even organized a massive attack in Tartarus and destroyed the defenses that Hades had set up there. But the passage between Tartarus and Olympus was too narrow to be a route for the great army, so we didn’t devote all our energy there. After we completed our mission in the Underworld, we removed most of the main forces, which is why I suggest that we go there. Now that the other ‘me’ has led the way to the throne of Zeus, the main demon hunters in Tartarus should have withdrawn themselves. There will be no risk except for the few remaining undead and soulless giants.”
“Well, that’s the plan,” said Hao Ren, clapping his hands and standing up. “Let’s go to the Underworld, make a hole in Tartarus, and go directly to Olympus!”
“Can you take me with you?” Little Hessiana requested out of the blue.
Hao Ren had not included the little girl in the plan. Therefore, he was shocked when he heard her request. “Take you with us?”
“You’re going to look for my mother, aren’t you?” Little Hessiana blinked.
“Umm, didn’t your mother tell you to wait for her at home?” Lily advised. “We’re going to a dangerous place. If you follow us, we won’t be able to face your mother if something happens to you.”
“I can take care of myself!” Little Hessiana waved her arms. “I can do some magic too, and I can turn into a little bat and hide, you see…”
*Poof!*
With a puff of crimson smoke, the little girl turned into a tiny bat in the air. Then she crawled under Lily’s hair before she arched and ducked. “You see, it’s no trouble at all,” a small and thin voice said.
Everyone looked adult Hessiana, who was not far away, up and down.
“You still have this skill?” Hao Ren wrily asked. “Why haven’t you ever used it?”
Hessiana looked embarrassed. “I’ve grown up, and I’m the head of a big family. I don’t need this useless skill!”
“I suggest taking the little girl.” Finally, Hasse spoke, surprising Hao Ren a little.
“Why?” Hao Ren and Lily asked at the same time, the latter also trying to pull the little bat out of her hair.
“Well, because Vivian doesn’t know you guys.” Hasse looked around, and his eyes finally fell on Hessiana. “And you, Vivian won’t recognize the adult Hessiana.”
Then he pointed to himself. “As for me, she knows me, but I’m sure we’ll fight the moment we meet.”
At last, little Hessiana flew out of Lily’s hair and turned into a little girl again, watching them with longing.
“We’ll take her then.” Hao Ren finally nodded. “It’s like bringing a negotiator.”
The little girl’s face lit up with happiness.
