Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes-Chapter 143: Grand Bath (2)

Atlas was aware that his eyes were covered with a rather uncomfortable image. Selene had also noticed this.

Atlas was distracted by the strange sight of dozens of naked men and women, and that’s why Selene immediately ordered everyone to get dressed.

Giving Atlas a sign of approval, Selene managed to put everyone in a calm state and Atlas continued to speak with Hermes’ words "And then?":

"I had another dream. Actually, I had this dream long, long before I had the dream about the portal in the World Tree. I just didn’t want to believe it was real, silly me!"

"Tell me, what was that dream?" Hermes said with great curiosity.

"It was Archangel Michael himself, sir. He was begging for help, screaming for it," replied Atlas. With these words, every god and goddess in the room frowned.

Michael was a clear spirit. He was perhaps one of the few who possessed no evil, and he was also an excellent warrior.

"What do you mean?" Hermes asked.

"I’m afraid, sir, Archangel Michael was imprisoned," Atlas replied.

With these words, it became clear what he wanted from Hermes. Still, Hermes couldn’t help but ask, "And what do you want from me?"

Atlas fell to his knees as soon as he heard these words. With these actions, he had managed to shock thousands of gods and goddesses who were watching him at that moment.

Atlas, who had only fallen on his knees in front of Nyx until now, had now fallen on his knees in front of Hermes, who was billions of times weaker than the ancient goddess.

It was inconceivable.

"I’ve read about him, ever since I was little. Please save him, I beg you," Atlas suddenly said.

Hermes rolled his eyes and then said, "I like Michael. Even if we’re not friends, we’ve still helped each other, but Atlas...asking me to stand up to the people who imprisoned even a powerful warrior like him is stupid even for a boy as smart as you."

With these words of Hermes, the people around looked at him with angry eyes, but Hermes, perhaps for the first time since he was born, did not care about the looks of any of them.

"I realise that sir, but you know it too. The heaven and hell where angels and demons live are not in our dimension. I’m aware of that, as I told you, I’ve read it, I’ve read it all, I’ve read Michael and Lucifer’s fights over and over again, I know everything," Atlas muttered.

"I only know that you are fast enough to cross dimensions, I can even give you my soul, please save Archangel Michael." he added to his own words.

Hermes stopped for a few seconds when he heard these words. Immediately after that, he said, "I thought you didn’t want to be a hero, that’s what you said. But why should you care so much about the existence of people in the tiny world?"

With these words, Atlas sank his teeth into his lower lip so hard that even his body in spirit form bled.

Hermes was no fool. He had asked the right questions. Hermes had asked the question that Atlas had asked him so many times. However, Atlas had an answer this time. freewebnøvel.com

"My sister Eva. My uncle Aether and aunt Aelia. Their children Minerva and Lars. Cordelia, Talon, Constantine, Cain, Bellatrix and Juliet, who treated me like their own children. Cassandra, whom I have come to love but am afraid to love."

When Atlas counted all these names, his gaze began to darken, even if he didn’t realise it. His gaze began to darken to the point that even the gods and goddesses watching him around were trembling inwardly.

"The whole world can burn, I don’t give a damn. However, when the whole world burns, I want them to be okay. I want them to be safe no matter what, with me or not. For that, the one who can give the angels the necessary punishments, the leader, must return."

When Atlas finished his words, Hermes looked at the beautiful view seen when looking out of half of the room for a few seconds, and then took a deep breath and said, "And that leader is Michael..."

Atlas shook his head and then said, "It will be much easier to save Michael of the angels than Lucifer of the demons. I swear it on my life. However, I believe that you, who are faster than reality, can do it, while even Lady Nyx herself cannot break through the dimensional barriers imposed by Chaos."

"I’ve never done this before," Hermes replied.

"Does that mean you can’t do it, sir?" Atlas questioned with great disappointment.

Hermes scratched his damp golden hair when he heard this question, and then answered, "Who do you think I am, child?"

Atlas inwardly rejoiced with these words, his thoughts had managed to come to him. He didn’t even need to explain what would happen if Michael was saved.

Lucifer could be freed from his imprisonment. Michael had not been betrayed by all the angels after all. Archangel Uriel and Archangel Gabriel had chosen to hide. There was literally no way for them to rescue Michael while passing all those angels in any way.

Yet Hermes was more special than any of them. He was fast. He was really, really fast. He was so fast that he could directly cross the dimensional barriers of Chaos after reaching enough speed.

He could quickly reach the angelic heaven, pull Michael out of the cage he was in and return to Olympus with him.

In this way, everything could be in a good situation.

The angels who were waiting for Michael’s return could be gathered and the six deadly sins who were in hell when heaven was released and who were left except Lucifer could be punished.

In short, it would have been possible to finish everything before the hell gate, which is still possible to open, was ever opened.

The war could have been won before it even started.
