Chapter 125: Nyx Against Chaos (3)



The great bitterness in Desmond was evident.

"Explain your plan to me, Desmond, everything must be perfect," Chaos said, and Desmond, hearing these words, began to speak:

"Create the place I said, give me a long time, from the creation of the world to the rule of men, no other race will live in that world. Elf, dwarf or any other race, nobody, nobody will live there."

Hearing these words, Chaos shook his head and then asked, "Is it your hatred for them that makes you want this?"

Desmond shook his head, explaining that it was nothing of the sort with these words:

"I want to fall in love, old man. I want to find the love of my life, I want to have children and I want everything I know to continue for generations. I wish to die exactly 80 years after my first child is born, I want to be immortal until then and I want to make everything I have the most perfect. Any other races will only devour that happiness."

At Desmond\'s words, Chaos shook his head and then asked, "Giving you immortality means I forbid you to enter the tower, are you sure you want to approve this?" Seeing Desmond nod, Chaos added another question:

"That means you won\'t be able to see Nyx or Erebus, or their children, Demond, are you sure?"

Desmond\'s eyebrows shot up at this question, his expression turning to one of immense sadness, one might have thought he was close to rejecting his plan and crossing the 75th floor.

"They\'ll be very angry with me, I\'m sure of it, they\'re my brothers and sisters...But yes, I\'m sure, if they forget about me, there\'ll be no problem, make me an unknown person, so that everyone can be happy." Desmond said.

"Do you think they will be happy, don\'t you think how disappointed they will be if they find out what you did?" Chaos asked.

"It\'s going to be a long time. If I have my way and you find someone brighter than me and they find out then, I\'m sure they\'ll take it all in their stride, I\'m sure they\'ll understand what I want to do," Desmond said and chuckled, then continued:

"They will cry, Erebus in particular will be devastated, but I\'m sure Nyx will do her usual good job of pulling it all together."

Desmond paused for a few seconds, then shook his head and spoke one last time.

"If they remember me, show them what I have to say, old man," Desmond said and looked at Chaos with a smile.

What Nyx was watching was suddenly being watched through Chaos\' eyes, and Desmond\'s words were heard:

"Nyx, Erebus, Chronos and the others. It doesn\'t matter where I am, it doesn\'t matter what kind of life I\'m going to live. What matters is all the moments we had and the life we lived. Maybe we didn\'t live the best life, but I\'m sure we had the most marvellous moments. I devoted my life to killing evil gods and goddesses, but eventually, I found people I could love.

You are the best thing that ever happened to me, remember that I will always love you all."

At the end of Desmond\'s words, he clapped his hands and then said, "All right, old man, send me away!"

-----

At that moment, what Nyx was watching was over.

Chaos looked down at his only daughter and was saddened, as he had said eventually, Desmond\'s actions were beginning to break everything.

Nyx was crying, silently, not breathing, her eyes wide open and tears falling to the floor.

She couldn\'t think of anything to say, or rather, Nyx had a thousand things she wanted to say, she didn\'t know how.

She could feel her heart pounding, knowing that Desmond, whom she considered her brother, had ended up like this made everything strange, Nyx was truly broken.

"He was human Nyx, he wasn\'t like you or me, I did what he wanted and here we are, are you still mad at me, are you still mad at Desmond?" Chaos asked.

Nyx\'s face turned to her father after hearing that, she said nothing and then stood up and opened a portal.

Nyx quickly left the place that had been her father\'s home and walked back into the parlour with eyes watching her. She looked at her husband Erebus, who had just managed to pull himself together, Chronos standing beside him, and the other titans, gathered together for the first time in a long time.

"I don\'t know what you\'re going to do after what I\'m about to show you, but you\'d better be ready to give your life for James," Nyx said, her words alone telling them how serious an event was coming to them.

The Chaos-Borns in the room were stunned and the Titans were saddened as each of them began to have flashbacks of Nyx.

They had heard and seen Desmond, what he had said, what he had done, and the apology he had made. Before Nyx\'s memories faded to black, James\'s memory was revealed to everyone, leaving the Titans angry and upset.

Even Chronos hadn\'t learnt that much, he had only seen Desmond leave and a few other things, and he was going mad at what he was seeing now.

"How could he do this?" Atlas suddenly shouted, his massive body shaking the hall.

"I don\'t understand...We could have forced him to go through the 75th floor, that\'s for sure, but that\'s still no reason for him to leave!" said Themis, the titan of the law.

"I can\'t believe he would leave us so easily! I can\'t believe that Desmond, who has been with us through all the hardships we have suffered together, who has been with us through the weakening and increasing of our powers, who have helped us to cleanse all evil, is gone so easily!" cried Gaia, and it was possible to see tears in her eyes.

It seemed only a matter of time before the Titans began to argue.
