When the brief meeting with Gaia ended, and Gaia, the Avatar that Gaia created, had left, Taufik and Lembuswana chose to continue their journey.

But on the way, there was one strange thing that happened, that is, the Cracks appeared more often than before, which felt a little, not a little, but it was very strange, because the path they were taking was the same path they had taken before, but the cracks appeared more often, it was like when they had finished one Crack, another Crack would appear again every ten minutes they flew, no matter how you look at it, it was something strange, it was like something was trying to stop them from approaching their destination.

"... Damn, Fik, is not even two hours since we depart, but the Crack that we encounter is twice as many Cracks as we encountered before, it's not natural, I'm sure about it"

Said Lembuswana who seemed fed up with encountering these seemingly endless cracks.

"From the first time, all of this was not something natural... But, yeah~... Something is going on here, that we are not aware of-"

*CRACK!*

Amid their conversation, a crack appeared in front of them again, which made Taufik immediately stop and look at the crack that had just appeared.

"Look, It's Another one... It hasn't even been ten minutes since we cleared the last Crack, and yet another one has already appeared, someone must have done this on purpose"

"... Wait, Lembu, Look at that Crack; there's something different about that Crack and the other Crack that we Encountered before, isn't it?"

"..."

"... Lembu?"

Ask Taufik again because he did not receive an answer from Lembuswana.

"... I'm Speechless"

"Wha- why?

"... Is it because we have encountered too many Cracks that you can distinguish one Crack from another? Wow~ Impressive, Young Man, You have developed very well"

"It's not like that; look with your two eyes...

Said Taufik, then pointed to the crack that had just appeared, and continued speaking.

... Something is different with that Crack"

"..."

Hearing what Taufik said, Lembuswana then looked at the crack more closely, but what he saw was a crack that was no different from the cracks they had previously encountered.

"... There's no different, wha-"

"The Energy, Look at the Energy, it's an Energy that I've never seen before. Do you know what kind of energy is that?" Experience the adventure on m|vl_em|p_yr

"The energy? Do you mean the Mana?"

"Yeah, Energy, Mana, whatever, Just look at it and tell me if you recognize what kind of energy it is"

"... Alright"

Lembuswana then returned to observing the Crack, but this time he focused on the "Energy" that Taufik had mentioned. Initially, he thought that Taufik was just imagining things, but after seeing what kind of energy the Crack was emitting, Lembuswana's relaxed face suddenly turned panicked.

"... Oh~ Shit! It's Divine energy"

"Divine energy?"

"... It's a God... A God trying to enter Earth"

"..."

Hearing the word "God" Taufik immediately remembered the conversation he had with Gaia earlier.

'If I disappear, the other Gods will definitely try to enter this unprotected Earth, when that happens, I hope you will do something, can you?'

"A God? I had anticipated their arrival, but I didn't expect it to be this soon"

Said Taufik while remembering the words Gaia said; after that, he looked back towards the Crack, wanting to see what God would come out of the Crack.

"... Do you know any God from Earth, Fik?"

"I've read some, but whether they're true or not I don't know"

"I see... Are you confident you can beat one?"

Hearing Lembuswana's question, Taufik seemed hesitant to answer it, in the book he had read, the legends of the gods that he had read seemed a little exaggerated, but it did not rule out the possibility that it was all true, but there was also the possibility that it was all just made up, considering, the story was a story that had been told from generation to generation who knows where it started.

"... I'm not sure?"

"You not sure? You?"

"Can't I? I mean, I never met once before, so I don't know how strong they are... So yeah~ I'm not too sure if I can beat one or not"

"... Valid point"

"Right? Let's see which God it is, first"

Said Taufik, and after that he and Lembuswana continued to watch the Crack with anticipation, Running away was not an option because Taufik came to this time of chaos with a strong determination, he would face anyone who wanted to prevent him from achieving his goals, and if he ran away from here, the next time this happened again, he would run again, and so on.

So the only choice is to fight, win or lose is the final matter.

----------------

After waiting for a while longer, Someone finally came out from the fully opened Crack.

Different from Taufik's imagination, the God who he thought would look a little less like a human, turned out to be in the form of a human.

A muscular body that is only partially covered by Exomis clothing, two leather wristbands, and Talaria sandals.

The god in the form of a man, holds a mace that is half the height of the god's body, which is twice as tall as Taufik, so the size of the mace is as tall as Taufik.

Quite a simple appearance for someone who is a "God"

But one thing that was striking about the god and also something that made Taufik immediately recognize who it was was what was on the god's head.

But one thing that was striking about the god and also something that made Taufik immediately recognize who it was was what was on the god's head.

'... Lion? Hercules/Heracles?'

"... I praise your courage in not running away, O you who defied the Fate"

"!!!"

"I guess you're probably surprised about how I know that, aren't you? Olympus is a Realm that is not affected by time; all of us who are there share memories with our other selves in the future and the past, and I have a memory of you from my future selves... Your existence is similar to someone I once knew... whose whereabouts are now unknown, what you brought into this world is nothing but chaos...

your existence cannot be allowed to continue to exist"

Said Hercules with his mace leaning on his shoulder, while looking at Taufik with a cold gaze, different from what Taufik had seen in the books he had read.

"... Just to make sure, you're Hercules, right?"

"Hercules? I remember being called that, it's really nostalgic"

"... Arent you already die in Mount Oete?"

"What died was my mortal body, while my divine body part Ascended to heaven, and Became a God, there I reconciled with Hera and Married Hebe, how is that? Is it the same as what you know?"

"..."

Hearing what Hercules said, Taufik could only remain silent because it was true; what Hercules said was the same as the knowledge he had that he got from books.

"... Hearing how you put it, can I conclude that what I know about you is wrong?"

"Almost everything you know about me is wrong... History is written by the winners, and I am the loser... it is true that I became a god, but it was never my wish, after my death, my soul was immediately captured by someone you could call my father, Zeus, the Oathkeeper"

"..."

"Are you wondering why I'm telling you all this?"

"..."

"That's because he has sworn to me that if I kill you here, he will release me and let me rest in peace, so don't do useless things and accept your fate; that way, I will kill you without any pain... I don't want to do this... but I have no other choice because I have been tormented for a long time"

After what Hercules said, Taufik and Hercules looked at each other with determination written in their eyes, their determination was equally strong, neither of them wanted to give up on their respective goals, and if so, then there was only one answer, which was to determine which determination was stronger between the two of them.

Understanding where this situation would lead them, Taufik could only take a deep breath and then take out his katana from his inventory.

"Too bad, Hercules, I once admired you after I read your story, it was a story that described someone who was worthy of being called a hero, the greatest hero... However, seeing your current state, it seems like I have to fight the greatest hero... because unlike you who was given the oath, I was the one who gave the oath, and no matter what I have to complete the oath...

So let's finish this, because no matter what I say, no one can stop me from completing the oath I made, that is my promise"

"... Is that so? What a shame, I actually didn't want to do this to someone with a bright future like you, but it seems I have no other choice if that is your will... Come forth, O you who defied the Fate, let's us fight to determine whose determination is strongest"
