Chapter 181 Apollo's Mistake
"Are we safe now?" Tasha crawled onto Artemis and hugged her in fear, her whole body trembling like a tuning fork.
She had only seen wolves of the size of a normal monster in her whole life, so seeing this giant beast she was on the verge of emptying her bladder on the spot where she was standing.
"We might be, Mother Superior came to save us, no way anyone could beat her in a fight," Artemis said while taking Tasha into her embrace.
"Anyway, what the hell was that giant wolf? How did he enter the heaven?" Hearing Artemis's question, her sister looked at her with a sceptical look.
"I have an idea, but I don't know whether it is true or not," Her sister's words ignited Artemis' curiosity and she started to question her sister.
"Who? Tell me, who is that?" Artemis started shaking her sister's shoulder without even letting her speak.
"I heard from one of the oldest servants of the castle that there are three beings that are higher than us," Artemis' sister said, her voice low and serious. "They are known as the apocalypse beings."
"The apocalypse beings?" Artemis repeated, her eyes widening. "What are they?"
"Of course, you wouldn't know because all you do is break rules and act like a delinquent," Artemis' sister suddenly started nagging, but they quickly went back to the topic.
"They are beings of immense power, I heard they are beings that won't interfere with our world," Sister explained with her eyebrows furrowed.
"And the three of them take the form of three creatures: a bird, an octopus, and a wolf."
"A wolf?" Artemis repeated, her brow furrowing. "And what does this have to do with the attack on who attacked us? Don't tell me-"
"Yes! The one who attacked us might be the wolf," Sister said, her voice growing even more grave.
"His name is Fenrir, and he is one of the apocalypse beings."
Artemis' eyes widened in shock. "Fenrir?" she repeated her voice barely above a whisper.
"Yes," Sister said, her voice firm and worried. "He is incredibly powerful, and he is not to be underestimated. He is a creature of destruction and chaos, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. We don't know what might be his goals, but we are really in a dangerous situation now,"
"What are we going to do?" Artemis asked, her voice full of concern.
"We must prepare ourselves," Her sister said, her eyes narrowing. "We must equip all our weapons and collect other gods and goddesses, and we must be ready for whatever he throws at us. We cannot let him defeat us."
Artemis nodded, her face set in determination. "You might be right! We will do whatever it takes," she said, her voice firm.
Sister smiled at her cute and energetic self. "That's the spirit," she said and decided to help Mother Superior to defeat this big bad wolf, who tried to kill them.

Meanwhile on the other side of heaven where the Supreme deity ruled things were equally hectic as they could sense a disturbance in the force. The air was thick with a palpable sense of chaos and unrest, and the gods knew that something was amiss.
As they peered into the realm where Mother Superior held sway, their worst fears were confirmed. A giant wolf had somehow managed to breach the borders of the realm and was now wreaking havoc upon the peaceful inhabitants of heaven.
The Deity could see that the wolf was a creature of immense power and malevolence, and they knew that they had to act quickly to contain the threat before it could cause irreparable damage to their side.
Heaven was divided into two parts where one part was ruled by Mother Superior Edona, a benevolent and compassionate deity who presided over a realm of light and purity. Her kingdom was a place of peace and tranquillity, where the angels and other gods and goddesses went about their tasks with a sense of purpose and harmony.
The other part of heaven was ruled by the Supreme Deity, a powerful and enigmatic being whose realm was shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Some said that the Deity was a just and fair ruler, while others whispered that their true motives were unknown and perhaps even malevolent.
Despite the differences between the two rulers, the two realms had coexisted in relative peace and harmony for centuries. But with the sudden appearance of the wolf, the delicate balance of power had been upset, and both realms found themselves in grave peril.
But there were some people in heaven, that took joy by this turn of events and all of them were gathered in one hall with their eyes looking at the young man in front of them.
"What is the meaning of this, Apollo?" A man sitting in the middle of every other giant-looking titan questioned resting his cheek in his palm. "Didn't you say that you will take full control of the Fenrir? then why is it going berserk? I thought I only ordered you to kill mother superior,"
"Or don't tell me you are incompetent to do that? Even though you're supposed to be the god of the wolves,"
As soon as the huge man sitting in the middle of the hall said that, everyone started to smile in a humiliating way looking at Apollo-like, he was an idiot. Feeling their gazes and laughs, Apollo clenched his teeth but he knew if he acted here everything he worked for will crumble.
"I will control it, Mother superior will definitely weaken that wolf and when that happens, I will be the one to take her control, with Fenrir in my control, I can easily kill Mother Superior,"
Apollo said and others quickly stopped laughing.
"I commend your bravery to support us, and I appreciate your wise judgment to betray Mother Superior, she is a weakling, she can't control lands or invade inferior races," The man that was sitting in the middle said and stood up. He slowly walked toward Apollo and touched his shoulder.
"Once mother superior is dead, I will fulfil our promise, I promise in my name of Supreme Deity that I will give the biggest and most valuable land, which is currently under the mother superior to you, her favourite goddess Artemis won't get that land,"
Hearing those words Apollo laughed and bowed his head showing respect, but inside he was burning in anger.
'In exchange for a single land, I should betray my mother and give half of the heaven to them? What kind of a shitty deal is this? Once I have Fenrir in my hand, you will along with Mother Superior, I will be the one to lead the heaven thereafter,"
He knew that he couldn't let this slide, but he also knew he had to play it smart. He decided to bide his time and wait for the right opportunity to strike. In the meantime, he would continue to act as though he was going along with the plan, while secretly gathering Fenrir and resources to help him in his quest for power.
As he left the meeting with Supreme Deity and the other gods, Apollo couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. He knew that he was taking a big risk by going against the other gods, but he also knew that the rewards could be great if he succeeded.
"Once I become the leader everything will change, I will make our side more dominant than here, I don't understand why she's against attacking these arrogant people, but I will do it," He said and left the area, so he can see the progress of the fight where Fenrir and Mother Superior Edon were in.
It was a huge distance, but with godly abilities, they managed to overcome this distance, so if by any chance a human enter this place and wants to cross borders, she or he would have to walk for a whole year without any breaks to reach the borders.
Apollo had instigated a fight between Fenrir, the monstrous wolf, and Edona, the powerful Mother superior, hoping to witness an epic battle between two formidable opponents. But as he arrived at the location where the fight was supposed to take place, he found the area empty, with no trace of either Fenrir or Edona.
Even though the houses were destroyed there were no signs of these two individuals so he quickly got down and decided to ask about the details.
Perplexed and slightly disappointed, Apollo scanned the area, trying to find any clues as to where the two might have gone. But he failed to find and then he saw Artemis also searching for something.
As he approached, he saw his sister Artemis standing at the edge of the clearing, looking just as confused as he was. "Artemis, what's going on?" he asked, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of the combatants.
Artemis was his closest person except for Mother Superior because their abilities were quite similar, they really liked hanging out with each other. Even though the gods and goddesses under both leaders were siblings, most of them didn't even care about their relationship. Some of them hated others while some loved, but none of them knew what sexual pleasure is and none of them knew what romantic love was, including Artemis.
Even though she has Tasha by her side, in the end, she was her own creation, so it was more like the creator's love toward her creation instead of romantic love.
"I don't know," she replied, turning to face him. "I came here to witness the battle between Fenrir and Edona, but they're nowhere to be found."
Apollo furrowed his brow in concern. "Do you think something's happened to them? Maybe we should start looking for them."
Artemis also nodded her head and followed Apollo trying to find their mother and confirm whether that big bad wolf harmed her.
