Chapter 1701: Meeting Zeus

Chapter 1701: Meeting Zeus

The battle went on for more than an hour. Sam slowly dealt with the people on the ground.         

    

He then shifted his focus to the snipers who are hiding on the rooftops of the houses.     

They are perfectly utilizing the terrain to their advantage. Sam guessed that they might have been given a buff that amplified their already dangerous stealthy abilities. From what he knew there are three snipers hiding from him. Now that all the ground forces are gone, all he has to do is hunt all three people.     

Sam is able to dodge the bullets, but he was unable to find their locations because of his position. His energy vision is not exactly helpful. The energy waves coming from the houses and people within are also acting as a hindrance for him.     

So, after some thought, he decided to pick a different approach.     

He activated wind elemental fusion and flew into the sky. He looked down on the roofs of the houses and smiled.     

Now there is no disturbance. Even if the snipers are really good, they cannot overcome this simple obstacle. It is as simple as that.     

Sam took out his handguns and started shooting down at them.     

And snipers themselves revealed their locations even though they had some camouflage buffs. They are hard-programmed to try and kill Sam. They are smart enough to hide, but they are not cunning and intelligent enough to just retreat and hide their location and report the matter to the other people inside.     

Sam is of course going to take advantage of that.     

*BOOM*     

*BOOM*     

Bullets rained down on the town with explosions. The snipers started moving around, trying to find a cover. One of them died in the first volley of Sam's attacks. The other two went on to the streets as they used the cover of houses to try and attack Sam once again.     

But this time, they lost their location advantage completely. All they are doing is make Sam bomb at the town at different locations. He destroyed a lot of infrastructure and some people even died before they could even resist.     

And in process of hunting these two snipers, Sam also understood something else. When the hell's tower is simulating something based on real events and even if the creatures are granted some intelligence, it is not exactly as clear and proper as the real incident.     

For example, Sam is sure that if the incident were to happen in the real world, the Lion Hunter Tribe would have reacted a bit differently. First, they will still send the first wave and they will wait for the first wave to be annihilated before they make any decision.     

But they would be constantly observing Sam. They wouldn't just sit back and let the first wave die in vain.     

And if the snipers were really cornered in such a situation, they would have just escaped back and let the commander know what kind of enemy they are facing.     

Then there is the scenario where the shelters are being bombed. If the opponent is strong enough to bomb the shelters randomly while fighting the first wave, the commanders are not going to just sit around.     

Even some experienced Lion hunters inside the shelters wouldn't just stand by. That rule only applies to them, if they are safe and sound with minimal damage. Once things are past that, there is no way, they will take this lying down.     

They would have retaliated immediately.     

But now they are just staying back as if there is nothing they could do. No, that is not even an accurate description. They are just acting as if they are objects in their surroundings. Not like creatures that are there to kill him.     

Sam started analyzing their behavior and his head is filled with some thoughts.     

When this large scenario is planned, it seemed like whatever brain or the origin of this creation that was in play took the overall scenario into account and took the most generic and step-by-step approach.     

It didn't take individual behaviors into account. He doesn't know how this dynamic works. Because until now, the individual creatures all had their own behavioral patterns inherited from them.     

But now all of that is gone.         

    

As these thoughts flooded his mind, Sam finished off the two snipers. As soon as the corruption hit his body, he noticed some energy fluctuations coming from different corners of the town. He could understand what was happening.     

Some of the creatures are finally coming out as per the exact protocol. The first wave took a decent time. So, the second wave is going to come now and it wouldn't be very strong. It would be strong of course, but not to the point that it will put extreme stress on him.     

It would be manageable.     

But still, Sam didn't start the fight. Instead, he disappeared from the spot. He went to the stone pillar and decided to deposit the corruption energy.     

Hel saw the whole thing and sighed.     

"There is no way Zeus' plan is going to work this way. Sam is going to be very careful. All he did is deal with this first wave and he already went to the pillar. If my guess is right, he will directly go to the pillar again right before he even finishes the second wave.     

This stupid guy just lost a shit load of fortune and his plan is ruined even before they revealed it out in the open.     

And he has to face the wrath of that stupid Gambler.     

Zeus is fucked."     

Hel muttered to herself and decided to inform about the situation to Zeus directly.     

She didn't delay once the thought popped into her head. She directly went to meet with Zeus and explained what she observed.     

Zeus thought for a moment and sighed.     

"This is the first time I had to think this much when dealing with a Mortal. Why is this bastard who is not even a descendant of an Olympian god troubling me this much."     

"You and your stupid Olympian pride. Can you fucking hold it in, while I am here? You might think it is all powerful and shit, but all we can see as outsiders is an incestuous family of debauch people.     

So, shut the fuck up and tell me what you want to do."     

*RUMBLE*     

Lightning crackled in the sky as Zeus looked at Hel.     

Hel didn't care much about his anger. She knew her words angered him. In fact, that is one of the main reasons, the Olympian gods are not respected as much. They are only getting any respect because of Zeus and their other gods' overwhelming power.     

"You better talk carefully to me Hel. If you insult Olympia once again, I will start a realm war before Gambler could start anything."     

"Yeah, yeah. You and I both know, that half of your threats are nothing but empty words."     

Zeus calmed down before he spoke.     

"Don't worry about the situation with Sam. Even if he has absolute control over the tower and the floors, he wouldn't be able to deal with what I am planning next.     

You need to go and implement the next round right after everyone clears the third floor of the hell tower.     

This task is something I specifically designed to contribute to Sam's already drawback. The headstart he gave to the rest because of our forceful measures will stay just like that."     

"Are you sure you want to push the other gods to this extent? It is not really a good thing, you know. They might support it to a certain extent. But they also know that Gambler is a dastardly guy who bolds even a minor grudge."         

    

"Whatever. I am sure this will go smoothly.     

I can make sure that there will be no suspicions, but Sam will definitely be targeted in the next round and will carry an even heavier drawback compared to the rest of the players.     

So, don't worry and continue with whatever games you are playing."     

"Alright, I will do that. I just wanted to let you know about the situation.     

"Just keep on studying whatever he is doing."     

"I will do that of course. I have no other option. Just letting you know another thing. Gambler didn't react even after seeing all of this happen.     

So, I will be careful if I were you. Make some arrangements to deal with whatever consequences that might come to your doorstep because of him."     

"What is he going to do? Do you think I am you? I don't need to worry about him knocking on my door. He doesn't have the guts to do so."     

"You would love to believe that, don't you? Even with the bonus you get from the realm of Olympia, you shouldn't act this cocky. Indra thought the same and he swallowed a bitter pill a long time ago.     

The gambler went and threatened Indra right in his home. He even tore a hole in space and let his void dragon in. Right above Indra's castle. Why do you act as if you forgot about it?"     

Hel just stood up as she shook her head and left.
