Chapter 637: Tracker

"Wait! Don't tell me you're talking about the Dark Space? That seems to be the only place that matches the description. Is that the case?" the Goddess of Destiny asked, stunned. 0

"That's right. That's exactly the place I'm talking about. He should be there now!" The High God replied. 

"But why? Why would he go there?" the Goddess of Destiny asked, confused. "Did he go there so he could hide?"

"But that place is even more dangerous! Why would someone go to that place to hide?" The Goddess of Water asked. 

"Exactly! That place is known as the Graveyard of Gods, as those who go there rarely return alive! That's a forbidden place!" The God of Flames agreed. "I mean, it would make sense if he went there to hide since we can't find him, but the risks outweigh the advantages!"

"Moreover, as we saw, he is strong enough to blow up the High God Palace so easily. Why would he go there to run away when he's strong? In any case, it's not as if we could find him easily even if he hadn't gone there? So I don't think he went there to hide!" he further added. 

"Will you all shut up for a minute and listen to me?" The High God asked, frowning. "He didn't go there to hide. Instead, he went there to retrieve something!"

"Retrieve what?" The Goddess of Destiny asked. 

"He went there to retrieve his cursed sword!"

"The sword which you had taken after his death last time?" The goddess of Water inquired. "Why would it be in the Dark Realm?"

"It would be there because we tossed him there. It is a sword that originated in the Dark Realm! It was possessed by the Dark Realm aura. With the death of its owner, that aura wasn't in control, and it was leaking everywhere, luring Dark Beings to this place!" The High Gods answered. 

"So we sealed the sword and tossed it in the Dark Realm so it could never be found again. We didn't know that Chaos was going to return one day to retrieve it!" Another High God agreed.

"That's right. Now that we think about that, it's good that we tossed it away. If it were in the Palace, Chaos would have recovered it to get even stronger!" Third High God said, sighing. 

"Ah, so what can we do at this point then? We can't go into the Dark Realm to find him. And even if we go there, I doubt we can locate him. That place is just so big!" The God of War let out. "Can we do anything other than just hoping for his death at the hands of the Dark Creatures?"

"We can certainly hope for that, but don't keep your hopes high. He is one of the rare few that had managed to return from that place alive even before when he returned with his sword. Everyone believed he would die there even then," the God of Fame said, sighing. "There's a good chance he'll return."

"And when he does, he will be even stronger than before," he continued, shaking his head.

The High Gods frowned, nodding. They knew it was the truth. 

"We might not be able to kill him until he returns, but we can certainly weaken him!" The Goddess of Destiny said, clenching her fist. 

"How?" the Goddess of Water replied, laughing. 

"By targeting his brother! I mean, the two brothers fooled us. Janus acted as if he wasn't fond of Chaos when he supported us in the Godly War. But now we know that wasn't the case. So these two brothers are still close!" The Goddess of Destiny said, smirking. 

"You mean...?"

"That's right. I think we should catch Janus! We can use him to lure Chaos to us and maybe force Chaos to listen to us with Janus as our hostage!" 

"That... That must work. I think we should give it a try. That's the best option at the moment," The God of War agreed. "Moreover, that bastard Janus is responsible for everything! I certainly want to get my hands on him!"

"High Gods, are you going to support us in our search?" the Goddess of Destiny asked the High Gods, frowning. 

"We can't," one of the High Gods replied. "Instead, we need to go somewhere to handle things our way. You follow your plan; we'll do ours."

The High Gods noticed the disappointment on the faces of orders. 

One of them stepped forward, sighing. "But we would certainly help you in a different way."

He flicked his fingers, making a compass appear in his hands. 

He tossed the golden compass toward the goddess of destiny. 

"This compass has the aura of Janus. You can use it to find him. As long as he's not hiding inside his Domain, this can track him. It would help you," he exclaimed.

The compass was caught by the Goddess of Destiny. "Thank you so much. This would be really useful in tracking that bastard!"

Giving the compass, the High Gods disappeared together, going to somewhere unknown.

"I wonder where the High Gods are going. Do they want to go to the Dark Space after Chaos?" The Goddess of Water muttered, watching the High Gods leave. 

"I think they're going to him..." the Goddess of Destiny replied. 

"Him?" the Goddess of Water asked, confused.

"The person who had killed the Goddess of Reincarnation in her second life! He was the one who said that she would never be allowed to reincarnate again and her soul would be destroyed," The Goddess of Destiny explained.

"Now that she returned, of course, he would as well," She added. "And who knows, if we're lucky, he might even come and take care of the Goddess of Reincarnation and the person who brought her to life. We might not even need to do something."

"I hope that's the case. It would be perfect!" the Goddess of Water said as a glint of hope flashed in her eyes. 

"Now enough wasting time. Let's go and catch that traitor so we could show him the consequences of playing with us," the goddess of Destiny said, glancing at the compass which was pointing towards a certain direction. 

It was as if it was getting a signal of Janus already. 

...

Unaware of the troubles that were advancing towards him, Janus was comfortably sitting in the Palace of the Goddess of Life and Death. 

Since he couldn't go to his own palace, he came to the Goddess of Life and Death to take her help in locating Ryder so he could see what was happening with the little guy and why he couldn't feel him.
