Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 130

"Did you put that mission up to… to…"

"To help you grow through the loss of your friends."

"You…!"

Arthur lunged at the Sphinx, his daggers drawn.

An invisible force struck him and smashed him back into the wall.

His vision blurred.

The attack nearly knocked him out.

"Child of lightning, you've inherited the purest blood of Zeus. That's why you are the rightful owner of the words 'Kingsley'."

Arthur's father was the Great Sky God, Zeus.

The news would've shocked him if it was not for the current circumstances.

"They died because of me…?"

Arthur felt like he was being crushed under the weight of the truth.

Mars' POV

Mars entered the giant library.

The shelves stretched as far as his eyes could see.

He looked around

Each book contained a different Spell, a different technique, a different knowledge.

However, all of it was useless to him.

His cursed body could not use anything.

Suddenly, a voice spoke to him.

"Ask your question, child."

Mars looked around.

He could not find the Sphinx.

"No need to search for me.

"This form is your visualization of me.

"In my current state, I'm omnipresent. I'm knowledge itself."

The Sphinx chuckled.

"It's been a long time since someone thought so highly of me."

Mars felt as if the air was talking to him.

He could feel the faint presence of Sphinx all around him.

"Speak, child. What is that you want you know?"

Mars could feel his heart loudly thumping in his chest.

He opened his mouth.

There was no hesitation in his words.

"I want to surpass the Supreme."

This was it.

The moment he had been waiting for…

"You cannot surpass the Supreme. It's impossible for you."

The Sphinx's words struck him like thunderbolts.

Silence.

For a moment, Mars felt everything came crumbling down.

Just for a moment.

He quickly composed himself.

It was not the first time his hopes were crushed.

"Child, I will allow you to ask another question."

The Sphinx's words were generous.

But, Mars felt it.

The Sphinx's ill-intended excitement.

It wanted to see how Mars would crumble.

Unfortunately for the Sphinx, he had long learned to keep moving forward no matter how thorny his path was.

"O Great Sphinx, from your words, it seems the method to surpass Supreme exists and I cannot use it?"

"That's the truth, child. The method is useless for you."

Mars bowed.

"I want to know the method, O Great Sphinx."

"Even though you can never surpass Supreme?

"Child, you should change your question. Chasing after an impossible dream is not worth your life."

"Please, O Great Sphinx."

"Sigh, if that is your wish, then…"

The Sphinx decided to answer Mars' question.

Lucas' POV

Lucas entered the massive room.

He saw the baboon, a type of monkey, resting on the stone in the center of the room.

A giant blue cube, made of millions of smaller glowing cubes, floated in the sky.

"It's Akashic Record," the baboon spoke.
