Villain's Journey Towards Destruction

Next Morning.

The prisoners of Tartarus don't know whether it is night or day.

They can't sleep—they aren't allowed to sleep.

They will always work or get tortured.

This is the punishment they get for doing evil deeds in their lives.

All of them were thinking.

Why didn't they live good lives?

Why did they have to do evil deeds?

Most of the people here were murderers, r*pists, robbers, etc.

But all of them were horrible people who got enjoyment for causing pain for others.

There were women also.

Not only men, because everyone can do evil deeds.

But all of them had one thing common in Tartarus.

Their pain will never end.

Every one of Tartarus prisoners regrets everything, but it's too late for regrets.

They didn't feel regrets when they hurt innocent lives, and now... It is too late.

Any one of them would want to get to the Asphodel Fields— that place feels like paradise compared to this!

While the people from Asphodel Fields want to get out of there, having no idea that being there is a million times better than in Tartarus.

In the Black Castle.

The army was gathering.

Hundreds of millions of Dark-cloaked figures have gathered.

There are also millions of different monsters!

Cyclops', Ogre's, Goblins, etc.

Thanatos was the Commander of the army, and he was giving stern commands.

Hades was standing in his room and watching outside of the window.

Every second without Persephone was painful, and it was like his heart was ripped apart.

Hades has been ostracized from the rest of the Heavens the moment he was chosen to be the King of Underworld.

He should have been one of the 12 Gods of Heavenly Temple.

But alas... He was sent here... To live in darkness.

Because Zeus... Fears him!

He fears Hades' strength.

The strength which could make him King of Gods!

But since Zeus controlled the Heavens. Hades could do nothing, but he has always gathered an army.

Just in case, and now... The time has come.

But he also has a trump card...

Hades turned his head towards the tall mountain in the distance.

It is a place where no one goes.

Hades has forbidden anyone from going there... Because that's where Titans and his father Kronos reside!

This is his trump card.

To do something unimaginable and release the Titans!

But... He will never release his father.

Kronos is a cunning individual and in the end... He will be the one who profits from the war.

Titans alone are a terrifying threat.

But Hades has no other choice.

Zeus did something unforgivable, and it was time for him to pay.

...

Jack left his room.

He was wearing red robes with an elegant red suit. The red robes also had a small hoodie which Jack used to cover his facial features.

The door next to him was opened, and Lilith and Lust exited it.

Both of them had a blushing faces.

Lilith looked very energetic, while Lust could barely stand.

Both of them didn't sleep at all because Lilith couldn't have enough of Lust's body.

''Hey, Jacky!'' Lilith chirped.

''Hey, Jacky.'' Lust waved her hand.

Jack's eyebrow twitched, ''Hey.''

Another door was opened, and Black Death came with a tired look on his face.

''Let's go,'' Jack said and started walking in the long corridors with black walls.

They entered the throne room, which was currently empty.

Suddenly, a servant came and bowed, ''Lord Hades is waiting for you in the Titan Mountain.''

''Titan mountain..?'' Jack raised an eyebrow and followed behind the servant.

The servant took them outside the Black Castle and showed them the way to the mountain.

But when the area of Mountain appeared, the servant bowed and left instantly.

Leaving Jack and others alone.

Jack started ascending the mountain— there were small stairways that leads to the middle of the mountain where pair of heavily locked doors were.

Half an hour later, Jack and others arrived at the locked doors and saw a terrifying sight.

A massive giant with fifty heads and one-hundred arms was guarding the doors!

He turned his fifty heads towards Jack and others.

But he didn't move— instead, the doors were opened.

''H-He is Hecatoncheires!'' Lilith exclaimed.

Jack could feel that the giant was existence way above Apollo!

His presence alone made Jack alerted.

'Why is he here... And who is he guarding?' Jack thought with a serious look.

Jack went past the open doors and saw the spacious interior of the mountain.

The mountain's walls were red and black, and the only light was from the ceiling of Tartarus.

In the bottom of the mountain... Ten large individuals were chained!

Jack saw Hades standing in front of the cliff, and he was gazing at the large individuals.

Jack appeared next to him, ''Titans...''

Hades nodded, ''I am debating... Whether I should ask for their assistance or try to win the war with only us.''

''They are strong... Gods must be stronger?'' Jack asked.

Hades nodded, ''Apollo isn't that strong. There are many stronger Gods, like my brothers, Poseidon and Zeus.''

Hades looked at Jack, ''Titans will never return to the Tartarus, they will rebel, they might even start fighting against us during the war.''

''You are asking my opinion?'' Jack asked.

Hades nodded.

Jack pondered and said, ''Kronos is no go... The Titans would only listen to his orders, and the chain of command will crumble... But they don't listen to you either.''

Hades nodded and looked towards the angry titans.

''Give them their freedom if we win,'' Jack said shocking words.

''What?!'' Hades exclaimed.

Lilith and others looked shocked as well.

''If we win... Titans won't dare to fight against us.''

''Why are you so sure?''

Jack looked at him and said, ''Because we will use them. They will be the cannon fodder, and if they survive... They will get their freedom.''

Hades pondered, ''What about after the war, what if they try to gain strength and then come back for war?''

Jack mysteriously smiled, ''Only 9 Titans... What can they do?''

Hades had a small smile on his face, ''I understand now...''

Jack shrugged and started walking away.

He used the same strategy as Alliance Forces uses.

Titans will be tempted to get freedom, even if they might be tricked and killed.

They will also abandon Kronos— their loyalty isn't that strong.

Just like that...

Underworld's preparations for the war are completed.

And the Heavens still had no idea...

That war is upon them.
