A little awkwardly, Taufik walked towards his place, where Aksara and Lembuswana were.

After Taufik returned to his sofa, he was immediately greeted by Aksara.

"... Papa, that was awesome!! please teach me that!"

Hearing his son's voice, Taufik felt a little relieved, he patted Aksara's head gently and said.

"... It's so? I'll teach you later, but let Papa take care of something here first, okay?"

Hearing his father's words, Aksara smiled broadly while nodding his head enthusiastically.

"Hmm! I'll wait!"

Said Aksara, who then sat back down quietly while holding Lembuswana on his lap.

Seeing that, Taufik just smiled faintly and then sat down with his son.

From this side, Taufik could see the entire hall, even Hades and Hephaestus who were sitting in a higher place than the other Gods.

They were all still silent as if waiting for one of them, namely Hades or Taufik, to open their mouth.

Taufik once again looked left and right, trying to catch what expressions these gods were showing, after which, he then looked back at Hades.

"... Ukhum! This didn't go according to my plan, but what happened is what happened... Actually, I'm here to tell you all something, but because of what happened earlier, it got delayed, so allow me to introduce myself once again; I'm 'D'Archy.' That's not my full name, but I prefer for you all to call me by that..."

Taufik was silent for a moment, returning his attention to the silent crowd, seeing those who did not want to say anything, Taufik continued what he wanted to say.

"... Alright since none of you have any objections... Let's get straight to the point... Right now, Zeus and the other Nine Main Gods plus Hestia are now in my hands"

"..."

"..."

Instantly, the Hall which was initially silent, became even quieter, but after they finished studying Taufik's words, the silent hall was abuzz with discussions from the other gods.

Hades, who didn't like the crowd, immediately slammed his staff on the floor, which created a shock wave that was no less powerful than a bomb explosion.

*PLAK!* *Swoosh!*

"SILENCE!!"

With Hades' roar, the entire Hall fell silent again.

"..."

Hades stared at the audience with cold eyes as if asking who dared to challenge his authority, seeing all the gods silent, Hades' eyes then fell on Taufik.

"You! Do you know what you just said? Do you know what the consequences are?"

"... I don't know and I don't wanna know" Enjoy new stories from empireNôv(el)B\\jnn

"HERETIC!! DO YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES IF ZEUS AND THE OTHERS DON'T DO THEIR JOB?!! CHAOS! CHAOS WILL FALL TO THE EARTH! AND THOUSANDS OF HUMAN LIVES COULD BE THREATENED, WILL YOU BE CAPABLE OF THE CONSEQUENCES?!"

"Blah~ blah~ You talk too much, I'm coming from an era where all of you were just a Myth in human eyes... Only a few believe that you all exist, and you know what... The Earth still continues to spin on its axis, the seasons still continue to change, and the sky is still the same as it was yesterday... Who are you trying to fool with that nonsense Hades?"

"You... You've gone too far, don't think that with your relationship with Mother Gaia, you can act as you please! Stop all this madness before it gets out of your control!!"

"Why bring Gaia into this conversation? She has nothing to do with any of this... Besides, Zeus and the others ended up like that not because I wanted them to but because they came to me on their own accord, so basically, this isn't my fault, I was just trying to protect myself"

"ENOUGH!! If what you said is true then show us all the evidence! What you said earlier could be a lie that you made up because you knew the situation was like this"

"Evidence?... Hmm~"

Seeing Taufik's hesitation, the corners of Hades' mouth rose, not wanting to lose momentum, Hades then spoke again.

"Why do you look doubtful? Was what you said just now just nonsense?"

"Hmm?"

Taufik hummed, looked at Hades, and then looked at the entire audience in the hall, Taufik could clearly see the doubt in their eyes. Seeing this, Taufik sighed and then shook his head. Then said.

"... Doubtful? Me? Foolish, I didn't show you the evidence because I'm trying to protect the Image of Zeus and the others because right now, their appearance is not the same as their usual appearance... But you foolishly forced me to reveal something that will become your downfall, but I always respect someone's wishes; if that's what you ask for, then I will show it to you; I hope after you see this, you won't regret it, you should remember that, Hades... Here is the evidence"

After Taufik said that, he raised one of his hands into the air, and then a large screen appeared in the air; the screen showed nothing but black, like a dead television.

"..."

All the gods, including Hades and Hephaestus, looked confused by the black screen, not understanding what was on the black screen that could be used as evidence.

But Taufik just kept quiet, having no intention of explaining or clearing up their confusion, he continued to stare at the black screen casually, not caring about what the Gods around him were saying.

"... Is there anyone who knows what that thing is?"

"No, it's the first time I've seen something like that"

"But what is that man trying to show us with that thing? Where's the evidence?"

"Maybe he is a fraud? Like what Lord Hades said earlier, he might just be taking advantage of the situation for his own personal gain"

"How dare is he to try to deceive us, the gods?"

"Then, why you don't try and fight him, maybe you will win, just maybe"

"..."

"No, I will give that chance to another god... I used too much of my divine energy yesterday... So I'm not in my top condition right now"

"Just say you're afraid, we will not laugh at you"

"Actually, I'm a little scared of him... But Just a little"

"Ahahaha~"

That was the conversation of the gods on Taufik's left side, where most of them were occupied by Gods labeled "Good," while on his right side, where most of them were occupied by Gods labeled "Evil," they had a slightly different conversation.

"... This man is interesting, if he is willing, I will be happy to take him under my wing"

"You? Are you worthy? Didn't you see what was done to Kratos earlier? Are your abilities sufficient to take him under your wing?"

"But what he (First Person) said is true; this man is very interesting. Should we try to recruit him to our side?"

"Don't you hear what Hades just said? He has some relationships with Mother Gaia, do you think he wants to come to our side just like that?"

"Well~ Who knows? You won't know until you try it, right?"

"Yeah~ Keep dreaming"

That was the conversation that Taufik heard around him, but Taufik didn't care about it and continued to stare at the black screen which still didn't show anything.

One second, two seconds, until several seconds had passed, but there was no change on the screen, some impatient gods shouted at Taufik, but with just a look that Taufik gave, the god politely sat back down in his place.

"... You, What are you planning? What do you expect from that strange thing? Just give up and accept your fate, it will be easier for all of us"

Said Hades, who seemed to be unable to wait any longer, because the longer time passed, the more he thought that what Taufik said might be the truth. This made Hades feel an inexplicable discomfort.

"... Shut up, will you? Just wait a little bit longer... Why so impatient? It's not like an hour has passed"

*Buzzt!*

"Ohh~ Not what I expected, it took a little longer, but here it is... All of you, open your eyes and look at this"

Taufik said, asking all the Gods in the hall to look at the black screen, which had now changed into a blurry television broadcast image, actually he didn't need to say that because when the black screen made a reaction, the eyes of all the gods were already directed at the screen.

The screen flickered a few times, and with each flicker, the image on the screen became clearer, and it stopped flickering when the screen showed a slightly strange sight.

The screen showed a scene where another 'Taufik' was sitting with a serious expression, with the sun behind him while in front of him, the gods saw Hestia, the two of them were playing chess.

[Hmm~ You're Good, I don't expect you to be this good in chess, amazing Hestia]

[Hehe~ I'm quite familiar with this game, This game is a bit similar to the chaturanga game in India]

[Well, this chess game originally spread from India, so that's not surprising]

That was the conversation that 'Taufik' and Hestia had while playing Chess, while the real Taufik could only slap his forehead when he saw this scene.

"... Ukhum! Hey!"

[Huh? Who's talking?]

[Not me]

[Then who?]

"Here! I'm here!!"

[What? Who?]

"It's me! The Original one"

[The Original one? Where? What are you doing here?]

"... It's not important, just look at the camera!"

[Camera? Where?]

Said Taufik who was on the screen while looking left and right.

Seeing this, the real Taufik could only sigh lightly, then said.

"... F*ck! This is gonna be hard"

....
