Chapter 72: Moros' Plan
After these thoughts, Moros opened the system window and sent a quick message to Ariel:
"I must say it\'s nice to meet you, Lady Ariel, I\'m Moros, Nemesis\' big brother."
When Ariel saw this message in front of her, she read the name Nemesis and her eyes widened, she immediately stood up and smiled and said, "Nemesis? The Nemesis we know? The Nemesis who has not yet become a goddess, but has already been called the goddess of war and many other things?"
When Moros heard this, he turned to his mother and said, "If you want to get someone\'s attention, you have to go towards their interests, mum, it was ridiculous to try and talk to her by texting her directly."
Nyx snorted at Ariel and didn\'t even try to reply to Moros, turning her head the other way, away from Moros, and listening to the conversation.
"That\'s right, Lady Ariel. We want to talk to you because you are connected to James. If you will listen to me for a few minutes, I can put you in touch with my little sister Nemesis, of course when she is free."
Ariel\'s eyes lit up when Moros sent this message and she said, "Of course, if I can talk to Lady Nemesis for even a minute, I\'m all for it!"
Sitting on the floor again, Ariel waited for the next message.
When Moros was satisfied with what he heard, his hand went back to the letters in the message window and wrote the following:
"As you know, when you go to the 20th floor, you have the option to choose a class that will never be lost. You have made it to the 34th floor without a class, and you know what a great achievement that is."
Ariel scratched her head as she read the message in front of her, she didn\'t think she would encounter this kind of message, it was strange that a high god like Moros had noticed it.
"I understand what you are trying to say but I really don\'t trust the gods, even if it is Lady Nemesis, in my darkest hour I searched for a long time for a cure but I couldn\'t get anyone to help me, I tried everything even if you are not the god I pray to."
When Ariel\'s words were heard, not only the gods of Olympus and the gods within, but even James\' enemies were saddened, many of them remembered praying to gods, and many of them remembered how hard they had been through. It made everyone sad and a little proud that Ariel was able to endure so much hardship, even though she didn\'t have the same powers as them.
As Moros closed his eyes calmly, he realised that Ariel needed to hear the truth, so he wrote another message as if he didn\'t think there was anything to hide anymore:
"Look, Lady Ariel, I can\'t fully understand your suffering, it\'s impossible, but there is someone I want to protect right now, and that someone happens to be James himself. You have already come a long way by joining the Chaos Guild. There isn\'t a single person left in Olympus or Asgard who can say anything against you, but you remember why you can\'t go beyond the 34th floor, don\'t you?"
When Ariel saw and read this message, her face appeared on the screens in the hall, her sadness visible.
"Yes, I need a team member and I didn\'t do anything because I didn\'t think I could trust anyone, I\'ve been standing still for two years, I guess I wasn\'t that eager to become a god or goddess," Ariel said suddenly and Moros, who read this, smiled and sent another message:
"No. You just haven\'t met someone who deserves your trust. I have a proposition for you, go to the 20th floor, that is, after you have done your business. I have been a god for a few million years, so I have enough experience.
The system of the 20th floor is very different from the first floor, there is no chance factor here, and you have the opportunity to choose the god you want by searching for him. Search for my name, find me and send a request, even if you don\'t trust any god, please believe in me one last time."
When Moros sent this message, Ariel herself paused, for a few seconds, and then her silence was broken:
"It takes a long, long time for me to trust someone else, to trust them completely. Still, it\'s obvious that I\'m no longer the only one, that I need a partner and a class for the next floors... Maybe I should stop being stingy for once and accept what\'s happening."
Ariel had a smile on her face as she said these words, a bitter smile.
"My daughter is gone, I lost her, maybe I could have prevented what happened if I had been able to see the dangers in front of me, but I failed... Nevertheless, it is clear that I have gained a son, a son who is very similar to my daughter, a partner and a friend, who understands me."
With these words, the bitter smile on Ariel\'s face disappeared and was replaced by a rust-bright one. This image was enough for everyone and everything.
"I guess I have to accept that I\'m not alone anymore. It will take a long time for full trust, but Master Moros I choose to believe you and I hope you will not let me down. That is the last thing I want."
With those words, Ariel stood up and then moved to finish the task James had given her.
"I have a mission and James is the last person I want to disappoint. Please continue to follow me, Master Moros."
