Chapter 1992: Head of Janus

”What is that?” The voice of the god stated as he suddenly twitched his eyebrows.

Upon the twitch of his eyebrows, a powerful singular bolt of lightning suddenly hit the area. The area that was hit by the bolt could be seen incredibly charred to the point that its white stone became pure black. The incredibly durable stone pavement is also carved by at least one foot which can only be made if the attack was incredibly powerful.

”What are you doing, husband? The area has been destroyed! You do know that the pavement in this place can only be fixed by Hephaestus. If you trouble him more than this then he might hide himself in his smithery. Forget about fixing the holes in the barrier for ten years if that happens.” The goddess stated.

”I briefly sensed a presence in that area, wife. It must have been a small insect that flew inside due to a spatial distortion. It seems that I have truly stretched the relic too far without thinking of the consequences. Now I know why those demons do not even use their abilities too much when they have powers akin to a god.” The god stated.

”The proud God King Zeus has finally been opened to the world. Qualities like that will make you the perfect ruler of any domain. If you no longer cheat on me then I might say that you are also the perfect husband.” The goddess stated.

”Hera, you may be able to verbally shame me but do not think that I do not get offended.” The God King Zeus stated.

”If you were ashamed then you would not have so many bastards. You are my husband which makes me a God Queen. We are equal in terms of power husband as we share the same vow. Do not forget that.” The God Queen Hera stated as she was indeed as powerful as her husband.

”Let us move to Hephaestusʼ Smithery to have him create something to fix the holes in the barrier.” The God King Zeus stated as he threw the Head of Janus towards the throne on where he sits.

The God King Zeus would not easily place the Head of Janus unprotected which is why he created a powerful lightning barrier to make sure no one takes it. Adrian could see that the lightning used to protect the holy relic was indeed powerful. If he touches the barrier then his entire body would certainly be fried.

”If you are worried then I shall call upon Argus to look around here.” The God Queen Hera stated.

”No need. Argus is needed more in areas where the holes in the barrier are prevalent. There are no holes in this area for him to look into. If something else slips in, then Olympus might go into a frenzy which would make then doubt me as ruler.” The God King Zeus stated as he vanished with the God Queen Hera.

Meanwhile, next to the spot where the lightning bolt carved the floor was none other than Adrian. He made sure to not move in place as he feared that another attack may come in. He never expected that the God King Zeus to have such powerful senses, but it was also him that made a mistake.

Adrian actually touched the column beside him which manifested a part of his hand that the God King Zeus detected.

Fortunately for Adrian, the God King Zeus was not accurate in pinpointing his location. He was able to not be damaged, but it was an incredibly close call. He was only one inch away from the area which also made him feel the power of the lightning that the God King Zeus rained down.

”I almost died but it was worth it! I finally have the Head of Janus.” Adrian stated but he has yet to actually dispel the lightning barrier around it.

Adrian looked at the holy relic before him and it was none other than a bust made of platinum. Although, the bust is not a normal thing because there are two faces connected like conjoined twins. The two faces are back-to-back with each other and have different features. One of the heads had the appearance of a gallant young man while the other has the features of a wizened old man.

This was undoubtedly the head of the fallen god or at least a relic that formed from a broken piece of him. The God of Doors Janus is often seen as a twofaced god but not because he has two different personalities but because he really did have two faces. Just as his title, the God of Doors Janus had two faces because he represents the usage of a door.

A door could either be an entrance or an exit depending on which side of the door the being is facing. He is also called the God of Transitions because he represents the middle ground between the concrete and the abstract. Abstract dualities such as beginning or end which is why he is often seen as a god that appears when you need to make two choices that branch out into different ways.

”How should I take care of the lightning barrier? If I dispel it, the god king that throws tantrums would know that something happened to the holy relic.” Adrian muttered as he is now thinking of ways to get the holy relic without the God King Zeus knowing.

Just as Adrian was thinking of ways to make sure that he gets the relic safely without alerting the God King Zeus, the Head of Janus suddenly floated. Adrian is shocked when the Head of Janus suddenly floated and its eyes that were just holes suddenly glowed in a powerful purple light.

Adrian stared directly at the Head of Janus which suddenly put him in a trance and transported his subconscious into another place.

”Greetings, Equinox.” A voice suddenly stated which made Adrian wonder as he heard two different being speak at the same time.

Adrian knew that he was transported to his subconscious, but this place is not where he usually goes to. This place looked deeper than what he normally goes into which made him look around to see where he is. This is a new place in his subconscious that he has yet to explore, and he has explored a lot.

He turned around to see where the voice came from, and he saw a being that looked like an automaton with two faces.

”The God of Doors Janus!” Adrian stated as he cannot believe that an actual god managed to enter his subconscious, but it also made him wary.

”Fear not, Equinox. I am merely a shell of what I was previously. This is but a spark that I have left which is fueled by the fragment of Chaos hidden in me. I am not the God of Doors Janus but merely a remnant will.” The remnant will of the God of Doors Janus stated.

”If you are a remnant will then why do you know my name?” Adrian asked even though he knew that this might be due to the game scenario.

”I have already seen that you will come here as even the God of Doors need to be at its path. I merely chose the door that led to the world not getting destroyed but my own. All the other gods of space have chosen this fate with me as well as we know that this is the only way. The only way to give birth to a being that will save us all.” The remnant will of the God of Doors Janus stated.

”I do not know why you are telling me this, but I am already having a difficult time as it is. Please do not give me any more burden.” Adrian stated as he smells a quest coming.

”I am not giving you a burden, Equinox. You have already voluntarily accepted it, but this will not be two choices that will happen to you in the future. Just know that the fragment of Chaos is something sought after not just by the gods but even those that come from far away in the stars.” The remnant will of the God of Doors Janus stated as it finally vanished.

A dark purple whisp suddenly entered Adrianʼs heart but he did not feel anything different. He felt like he was still normal or rather the same as before. He thought that the fragment of Chaos would give him additional abilities or even stats, but it seems that he thought too much of it. He is also a bit taken aback by the words that the god of doors have given him.

Adrian returned back to reality as the floating Head of Janus suddenly turned to dust. Adrian is shocked upon seeing such a powerful holy relic turn to dust as if it was something created on a whim. This also meant that the lightning barrier ʼs alert being triggered as the skies above Olympus grew darker.
