Chapter 788: Serpent
“Yes, there is a way. I have a way to do all that, actually,” Jayden spoke with a confident smile, as if he was about to scam someone.
“Hmmm? Experience it all myself? Is that truly possible? Are you telling me there exists a place where all these people mentioned in the story actually live?” Zeus asked, his voice filled with excitement.
“No, that’s not what I meant. You can experience what the protagonist of the story had experienced from the start.
You can humiliate people like he did, you can understand how it feels to gradually become strong and have a system helping you, so do you want to feel all that?” Jayden asked, as if talking to an innocent customer.
“You will arrange all that for me? Everything that happened in the story so far? Even that strange system thing is possible?”
Zeus questioned, as he imagined himself being in the MC’s spot, and after seeing Jayden nod in response, he replied:
“Okay, if you do a good job, then I’ll reward you with things you have never even imagined and give you immense strength.”
“Thank you, I’m happy just by the fact that I am able to do something for the God of Gods. We can start from tomorrow; I’ll start my preparations right away,” Jayden said.
“I thought it would take longer, but it just makes me more excited that it will be done by tomorrow, so I’ll be waiting. You can ask me if you need anything.” Zeus stood up and spoke, he was suddenly in a great mood.
“Yes, I will certainly do my best,” Jayden spoke, then he thought: ‘But to make it all come true, I would have to borrow your wife. I hope you don’t mind.’
Then Jayden walked away from there. He planned to go to the place where humans were living, after all, he needed to prepare some special things for Zeus.

Jayden went through the portal and arrived some distance away from Maia, but instantly he heard the sound of a battle. It came exactly from the place where Maia was staying.
‘Well, this is one of the drawbacks of living alone and in such a faraway place; she would have to fend off all the creatures that attack her.’
While mumbling, Jayden flew towards the sound. Maia was quite strong, though she couldn’t be compared to most Greek gods, but she too had divine energy and the ability to control nature.
As Jayden flew forward and got close to the mountain, he saw that everything seemed to be in bad shape.
The land was split open and most of the trees in the surroundings were destroyed. It seemed the battle had been going on for quite a while now, probably a few days.
“There is mist in the distance and these acidic marks on the ground; it seems to be a creature that can use poison.
And these craters, that creature must also have the ability to crack the land and create tremors; on top of that, it has high strength.”
Jayden mumbled as he looked at the scene around him. He wasn’t sure if that creature would have more abilities, but he was sure about these abilities.
Without stopping, he continued to fly forward. Since the environment was getting destroyed, it was probably getting difficult for Maia to fight.
She wasn’t much of a fighter, and after fighting constantly for a few days, she must be very exhausted.
Soon, as he got close to the mist, Jayden noticed the silhouette of a large snake, its head rising high into the sky as it kept hissing dangerously.
“A snake? Anna, do you know anything about it?” Jayden mumbled as he continued to fly.
“Yeah, it is called the Chthonic Serpent. It is a creature of the Underworld and it probably climbed out since it was attracted to Maia’s divine energy.
It is a creature of the darkness and is quite strong. Maia is barely holding on using her concealment ability.”
Anna replied, since the serpent was slowly destroying the entire surroundings, Maia was losing her foothold in the battle.
The serpent looked young, probably a few hundred years old, but it still had such great abilities and high intelligence.
It was not an ordinary serpent. If it was given time to grow, it could probably become even stronger than the Nemean lion.
“Can it be considered a beast?” Jayden asked as he stopped some distance away from the serpent. He looked quite small in front of the giant serpent.
“Yes, are you planning to use it?” Anna questioned.
“Yes,” after replying, Jayden flew closer to the serpent. By now, both Maia and the giant serpent had missed his presence. They had stopped fighting and turned to look at him vigilantly.
But as soon as Maia recognized him, she was overjoyed and finally felt relaxed.
Even though she wasn’t sure how strong Jayden exactly was or if he could even defeat this serpent, for some reason, his presence brought calmness and a sense of protection to her.
She immediately came out of her concealment and spoke to him:
“Jayden! I didn’t think you would return so soon. It’s only been a few days, and here I thought I was never going to see you again.”
Maia spoke as she glanced towards the serpent. She really felt as if she was going to die soon under the constant assault of this dangerous creature.
The serpent had a long body with pitch black color. Over its entire body, there were white dots that brought an air of danger around it, and the head of the serpent looked as if it was wearing a crown.
Its two big red eyes glared angrily at Jayden since he disturbed its hunting time.
‘It’s only been a few days for her, but I had spent many days on Earth. Anyway, Eve, go and take care of that thing, and then you can devour its heart,’ Jayden said as he raised his right hand and looked at the tattoo.
“Kieuuu.” The cute, jelly-like Eve immediately appeared in Jayden’s hand. It jumped in joy as it looked towards the serpent.
Eve is a divine beast, and in terms of strength and uniqueness, she is much higher than the serpent.
And along with Jayden, Eve has also been getting stronger. On top of that, she can transform into the Nemean lion and the Empty beast. This combination was perfect for attack and defense.
Eve jumped from Jayden’s arm and stopped some distance away from the serpent, looking at it with her big eyes.
“Are you trying to make these two fight?” Maia asked in surprise. The serpent looked so majestic.
On the other hand, Eve looked tiny in front of it, and it seemed the serpent could kill her with a single breath.
“Yes, don’t worry about her. You must be very tired now, so you should rest,” Jayden spoke as he flew towards Maia.
The serpent stood still as its gaze moved between the three beings around it. Maia was already so exhausted, and it was quite close to killing her.
*HISSSS*
