Chapter 388 Chapter 387: Surprise Plan

Zach tried his best to remember the slogan he had deciphered after rearranging the words in the celestial language.

"Thou who dares to enter, must look upon the gods; for thou who challenge the monster inside, must only be saved by the god's grace."

The door shined brightly, and Zach stepped back and waited for the door to open, but it suddenly stopped shining.

"..."

'Did I get the slogan wrong? I think I said the same thing I said at that time.'

Zach once again placed his hand on the door and uttered, "Thou who dares to enter inside, must look upon the gods and… no."

SIGH!

"Thou who dares to enter, must look upon the gods; for thou who challenge the monster inside, must only be saved with the help of god's grace."

The door slammed open, and the ground beneath Zach's feet moved and pushed him into the room.

THUD!

Zach looked back to see the door had disappeared. He glanced around and muttered, "Well, at least this looks like a final boss room. So I should expect one… hopefully…"

Zach walked further in and yelled, "Come out to play! I am bored!"

It was indeed a throne room, but not like how one would expect. It had a throne in the middle of the chamber with nothing else inside or around except the dozens of pillars holding the structure.

Zach walked to the throne, which was facing its back to him, hoping someone would be sitting on it, but it was empty.

"Well, do it."

Zach sat on the throne in a relaxed manner and waited for the boss to appear.

'This better not be another puzzle room instead of a boss chamber, or I will be so pissed that I don't know what I will do.'

A few minutes later, Zach heard footsteps from the far end of the chamber, but he didn't bother to look. Seconds later, he heard footsteps from the opposite side, then from the back, and ultimately from the front.

"Stop these petty games and show yourself, you coward."

The footsteps walked to the closest pillar and stopped behind it.

"So you are a shy coward?" Zach scoffed arrogantly.

The next second, a male angel walked out of the pillar with his wings wide open and chest puffed.

"It's a surprise that a mortal was able to make—"

"You are the same dipshit as that day who talked about food chains, am I right?" Zach interrupted the angel and asked, "What's your name?"

"Why would I tell my name to a mere mortal? Know your place, you foolish—"

"Shut the fuck up! You are a dog of gods. You are even lower than me. You should know your place. Oh, right!" Zach clapped his hands and said, "Why don't you lick my shoes? And while you are at it, massage my legs too."

"You—!" The angel flapped his wings and flew in the air before shooting magic attacks at Zach.

However, Zach didn't move an inch. He absorbed all the magic with the help of his gloves and said, "Try something else. I am not in a damn circus, you clown!"

The angel raised his hands and conjured a glowing ball resembling the sun.

"...."

Zach knew it wasn't the same entity who had attacked his family on that tragic day, but he couldn't help but recall the events again.

Without caring for what the angel was about to do, Zach asked, "Do you know a god named Ikaris? He calls himself the sun god."

"Die you, lowly—!"

FWIP!

Zach whistled, and Cerberus jumped out of his shadow.

[As we planned, eh, my liege!]

Cerberus attacked the angel and pinned him down to the ground. The angel tried to break free but to no avail.

"Don't struggle. Cerberus alone can defeat you even without using all of his power," Zach stated. He then leaned back on the throne and sat sideways so he could spread and stretch his legs on the hand rest.

"Who are you?!" the angel shouted.

"Answer my question. Do you know a god named Ikaris?"

"I might have heard his name. He is only of the heavenly Gods; different from the Gods I serve," the angel replied instantly.

"Where can I find him?"

"I don't know!"

After a brief silence, Zach opened his mouth to ask, "Do you know someone named Deus?"

"Never heard of him."

"Is that so?" Zach clapped his hands and said, "Do your thing, Cerberus."

[With pleasure, my liege.]

"What are you— no! Arrrghhh!"

Cerberus buried his fangs into the angel's hand and ripped it out of his body as the blood spritzed on the ground.

"Hey, hey. Don't get too excited. We must keep him alive for the interrogation," Zach scoffed. "But then again, he is useless. He doesn't know anything."

Zach got up from the throne and crushed the angel's leg with his feet.

"If you tell me something important, I will let you live."

"The Gods! They don't care what happens in this world! They are not punishing the humans— it's just for timepass! They are planning for something big!" the angel uttered in a broken voice.

"Something big?" Zach raised his brow with an amused expression on his face and asked, "And what is that?"

"I don't know!"

"Cerberus, your turn," Zach chuckled.

Cerberus plucked out the angel's other hand and said, [My liege, I always envied the wings of gods and angels. Why do they look so pretty? While mine doesn't even appeal to anyone?]

"I have absolutely no idea. But you should ask the angel. He should know it."

Cerberus began plucking out the angel's wings with his claws before asking, [Answer me, angel.]

"Stop! No!"

Zach crushed the other leg of the angel with a sinister smile on his face.

"Answer him, you shit!"

"That's because they are monsters! All the monsters and demons have to look ugly! They are evil! They are malice! Only the Gods and divines are allowed to look beautiful!" the angel yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Oh, no. Cerberus, he called you ugly."
