Chapter 137. Begging Nyx for Help
Forty minutes later, in an area in the Underworld,
A blonde man was sitting in a chair. His face looked anxious, as if he was waiting for an immortal god, but the God had not yet appeared. “Where is Havento? He is not here as promised. Is my friend with Goddess Atvertha forgetting our promise? How annoying!”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Just as the young man had finished grumbling, suddenly, an immortal god and Goddess and two large black dogs appeared. The guest was shocked, but this situation lasted only a few seconds. A black-haired man glared at the God of Communication, “What did you say?”
“What? What did I say to you? You just came!” Hertinoz asked while frowning. Meanwhile, the violet-eyed girl started walking towards Lord Havento’s good friend. The two black dogs also still faithfully accompany their Goddess without complaining at all.
“What did you say, Hertinoz? I heard you say my name.” Lord Havento’s voice sounded again, but this time, he explained a little about the meaning of his original question. Armen Faustus Lugthna’s future wife has arrived at the destination area. As soon as possible, she sat next to the young man, and his two dogs stood near their beloved master’s left leg.
“I did not say anything. You were the one who heard wrong!” Hertinoz denied all of his interlocutor’s accusations, but the Lord of the Underworld did not just believe him.
“How dare you to deny it. I clearly heard you groaning and saying my name.” A man, who had a height of two meters, was not happy with Hertinoz’s lies, even though the other God did not feel guilty at all.
“You are very strange, Havento. Has something happened to Goddess Atvertha? I have been waiting for you for over thirty minutes.” That curly-haired man diverted the conversation while turning to the only immortal Goddess in the room.
“I am okay. Havento and I were discussing a problem I was facing earlier and did not know whether this would affect the process of blessing you or not, Hertinoz.” A slender woman answered, so the man was surprised by this statement.
“What kind of difficulties are you facing? Just tell me the truth, Goddess. Who knows, maybe I can help provide a solution.” The green-eyed man was interested in hearing about the problems of the opposite sex, while Havento just observed the conversation without wanting to interrupt. Atvertha began to tell the story in outline, and Hertinoz listened carefully without interrupting the girl’s words.
When the thin-browed girl finished telling her story, Hertinoz was silent for a long time. Atvertha did not know what to say, apart from waiting for the other person’s comment. In the midst of the silence between the two immortal gods and an immortal goddess, the pale white man had an idea, so without hesitation, he immediately wanted to say this to the Crossroads Lady. “How about we ask Nyx for help? That woman knows a lot of secret spells because she has already been a full-time goddess. We can ask her for help.”
“Will your idea work? I doubt he would want to do that.” The only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia seemed pessimistic, while Hertinoz had the opposite attitude.
“How can you know if you have never tried? You are just asking for help to bless me, or maybe something else needs to be done before taking that action. Nyx is the right immortal Goddess to ask for advice because she’s experienced, especially since you two are good friends.” A young guy, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-eight centimetres, provided moral encouragement so that Atvertha wanted to contact the Night Goddess as well as ask for help from her.
“I have also offered the same thing to Atvertha, but she refused. Nyx always works behind the scenes. Her magick power is impressive, and she eavesdrops on more conversations than you, Hertinoz.” Havento also commented so that both Atvertha and the man with a sharp nose suddenly turned towards the throne of the Lord of the Underworld. There, they saw an immortal god with a sinister aura stroking one of the heads of his three-headed dog.
“Are you sure that Nyx likes eavesdropping on the conversations of other gods and goddesses? Do not like talking nonsense just because you two fight a lot!” asked Hertinoz, doubtful. A man who was good at negotiating could not imagine that his close friend’s accusations had really happened. Havento grinned, so the young man became very suspicious of him.
“I know Nyx better than you. She has been my sister since I was a child. We do not always get along, but I know her capacity. Nyx can always figure out what is going on in the Underworld, just like you dared to mention my name when I came here late. I heard that well,” replied Havento, looking sharply at his close friend, which made Hertinoz remember what he had done as soon as possible. However, the man who always looked cheerful pretended he did not know to avoid a fight between them.
“What if it turns out that right now Nyx is not even in her area of authority, Havento? Can we call your sister here?” Atvertha’s question made the cold-faced man turn to the two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman.
“I will help to check my sister’s whereabouts. If she is still in her area, you must be willing to talk directly to Nyx.” The black-haired man gave a condition, and Atvertha nodded as an initial reaction.
“I agree. Thank you, Havento.” After that young lady said those words, the first son of the couple, God Hetzh-the Lord of Darkness and the Goddess Aymenth-the Lord of Sorrow, without further ado, fell silent, and his eyes turned white. Atvertha and Hertinoz could only wait and did not want to interfere with what Havento was doing.

In Nyx’s area of power
A woman wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like night, and filled with sparkling light seemed to be relaxing. However, the silence there without further ado disappeared because she began to hear a voice so familiar to her, “Nyx! Nyx! I know you are there.”
“What the fuck! Why does someone always disturb my peace when I need it, anyway?” Nyx softly grumbled because she did not like being treated like that, even though she just wanted to relax for a moment from all the routine she always did.
A woman who hated sunlight did not want to answer because she did not want to be disturbed. However, the same voice was heard again, as if the owner of the voice did not want to give up. “If you deliberately ignore my voice, then I will complain to your husband so that he will scold you.”
The Night Goddess was annoyed with the Lord of the Underworld, especially after hearing her brother’s threat, who was not physically there. “Damn it! Why do I have a big brother like Havento? He has been annoying since he was little, especially after helping Atvertha. Do not tell me that that fool called on purpose because he wanted to ask for help from me.”
“Nyx! Do not keep me waiting! I know you are deliberately acting like you are not there.” The strong-jawed man deliberately provoked his third sister’s anger, which made Lord Toretz’s wife react as he had planned.
“You are such a scumbag, brother! What do you want? Is it not enough that you always give me trouble, huh?!” Havento laughed when he heard the curse. Havento’s two guests heard Nyx’s voice. The God of Communication held back his laughter as if what the opposite sex said was so funny. When the silver-haired woman was about to say something, Hertinoz put her index finger to her lips, then shook her head as if warning the Queen of Witches not to do that. Atvertha was forced to remain silent because he received such instructions.
“Ah, I thought you were at your place, sister. Why did you take so long to answer me?” That burly man did not seem to care about the anger of the opposite sex, even though they only communicated through sound, without any visuals appearing.
“Why do you contact me when I want to relax? When did you learn to be an understanding older brother?” A woman who did not like small talk, without further ado, asked the person she was talking to and asked two questions, and the intonation sounded very annoyed. Havento, who heard the scolding, grinned even more because he had succeeded in luring his sister to talk to him.
“Just tell me, what do you want, Brother? Do not beat around the bush because you are wasting my time!” A goddess, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-four centimetres, did not hide her resentment, and Havento used this opportunity as a golden opportunity.
“I want you to unseal Atvertha’s power.” That young guy, who was not an expert in seducing women, as soon as possible said what he wanted, and Nyx immediately snorted. A woman who had many children already suspected that something like this would happen soon, and even though she tried hard to avoid it, she still could not do it.
“Why did I have to do that? Why did you not just ask her parents? You idiot!” Nyx deliberately ignored those words. A woman who had been friends with the Moon Goddess for a long time even challenged the man to come to Atvertha’s parents, which was clearly impossible. However, Havento did not lose his mind. He was determined that his sibling would follow his orders.
“I know your magic abilities, and you are one of the best in our family. I saw you cured Atvertha when she was living in Lord Helion’s palace. If you can do something like that, then opening the seal will be easy and smooth.” Havento even deliberately praised Nyx’s abilities so that the woman who had her own dimension groaned.
“You must have said sweet things on purpose so that I would change my mind, right? Do not be ridiculous! I do not want to do that!” Nyx had refused, but the man who was still sitting on the throne looked at Atvertha, then moved his head to the right as if giving a code to the opposite sex.
The young lady who received beauty from the Goddess Avtexia nodded as if she understood Havento’s meaning. Atvertha started to take over the conversation, “Nyx, it is me. Please help me to open the seal from my parents. I am asking for your help, not because I want to marry Armen, but for Hertinoz’s sake. He needs me.”
“What was wrong with Hertinoz? He was fine!” Nyx argued. It did not surprise her when she heard the voice of her close friend, but she was still too lazy to help.
“Hertinoz-”
