Chapter 9 - Tartarus

After a while of meditation, during which Hades detached himself from reality, the dragonkin who had disappeared earlier came back and said, "Lord Hades, our Lord agrees to meet you."

Hades opened his eyes as he smiled and got out of his meditation form. The other dragonkin were disappointed as they returned to work. The dragonkin who went in said, "My name is Andreas, and I am commander of Great king Tartarus." 

The inside of the castle was one of the most surprising things Hades has seen, the hallways marked into long paths with potraties and just the layout of the entire thing feels medivial not in the dirty time kind but the kind you would see now. 'Did someone also possess Tartarus too?' Hades thought but immediately refused his claims as the thought that someone else might also be there. Noticing his curiocity and confusion Andreas said "The inner halls and the castle it self it build according on the instruction of our lord, he has quite a unique tast"

'Holy shit, Tartarus is also a reincarnator.' Hades though as his mind immediately went to wether he could be trusted or not, but outwardly he replied "I would have thought that he was the god of architecture rather than the Tartarus"

Andreas smiled at this and continued to lead the way, but Hades himself was quite in a turmoil as they arrived upon doors that were larger than any other doors. It was made of black substance but has craving the description of a grand war, where gaints and tiny creatures battle it out. The most distinctive of which is man wielding Thunder hiting a gain into Tartarus, Hades nearly chocked as he reconized this in a instant. This was the description of the titanomachy, the grand war against the titian and gods.

The doors opened as Andreas looked back and said "I have no rights to go past this door but you can" Hades nodded as he walked in, he was then ingulfed in red light. He snquited his eyes and used divine energy finally take a look and saw the throne at which sat a humongous being, it's body was made of black sulfer like substance with red viens. He was so tall that even earth looked insignificant in comparison, not Gaia since he has never seen her full form but earth itself. 

His throne made of a ethereal substance looked at Hades, yes looked somehow even through it was impossible the throne looked at Hades. 'I feel like something is piercing into my body' Hades noticed as he used divine energy to block the gaze, but the gaze itself stood strong against the force of Hades but eventually after layers on top layers of protection added on the gaze was retracted as his platform slowly raised to go past the throne and landed in from of Tartarus.

His face was made of ethereal energy has every movemtent seems to cause a ripple in this void which seems to be filled with things he could see just yet, two eyes slowly opened each eye ball was like the size of a planet compared, they were red and glowing like the red son. Hades however didn't divert his eyes and looked straight into them with no fear at all, "Intersting…" Tartarus spoke his voice distorted like multiple people speaking at once. 

"Are you a reincarnate?" Hades asked bluntly, even Tartarus eyes showed a trace of shock and appalement at Hades. As he said 

"How did you know that? Speak carefully for I will kill you" 

"It is because I am also one" Hades said, although he has confidence that he could at least espace but both of them being reincarnate makes this fight scenario out of the question. Both of them don't know about each other domain, Tartarus could have also gained a domain like Hades or not and he trains the domain he has like crazy to get more powerful than the original character. Thus, It became unwise for them to fight it out.

Tartarus popped into his human form with blond hair, red eyes which still had a sense of dreed to anyone who looks into them, with a greek god's body and weaing knee length Chiton. He looked at Hades with curiosity and senes of brothership as a Hades himself did the same thing and went into his human form. His human form was something much less, a soldiers body with golden necklace and also a knee length Chiton. Silence filled the rooms as it was not truly void, all the sprites sent away a long time ago. 

"So, Which part of the world are you from? I am from america and used to I think serve in the military" Hades talked first, and Tartarus reciprocated with 

"Same although I forgot my job. I, however, have another domain from the usual realm do you also got another domain"

"No, my entire domain set was changed. I am no longer the god of death but the God of infinity" Hades replied as Tartarus fell into though, Hades then asked a question "Why are you here?"

Tartarus just raised an eyebrow but Hades carlified "I mean, why didn't you take the throne from Uranus or change anything"

"Oh, I just really don't care about that stuff. Uranus and all the rest of greek can do whatever they want, I prefer just my peaces and oder in the underworld" Tartarus said, as Hades fell into thought and looked up at Tartarus once again.

"My friend, I have two favors to ask you." Hades said, Tartarus expecting this said 

"If it is about the war–"

"No, I don't want you to scarfise your own happiness or anything although it may be close" Hades said and Tartarus remained silent waiting for him to continue. Hades then asked Tartarus "Can you free the innocent Hecatonchires And Cyclopes?"

"Done, I didn't like them being kept here in the first place but since gods haven't come yet. I gave them light punishment, like being stuck to a bloulder or something." Tartarus said and waited for the next request.

"Take over the underworld and rule it in my place" Hades said as this hit Tartarus like a bombshell, He doens't get why Hades dosen't want the underworld. However Hades then explained his plan after defeating the titans. Tartarus eyebrow raised more and more as he Hades spoke when finished Tartarus spoke 

"You are mentally ill"
