Chapter 189 Nothing Can Offend Fenrir
For some reason, after that day when Fenrir got caught doing it with Tasha and offending Artemis, he didn't bother with other goddesses as he constantly followed Edona asking her to quickly find the culprit. And he wanted to avoid Tasha as much as he can because he knew the consequences of his actions would bring a disaster on him.
"Damn it! This is not like me to hide and hold back," Walking in the garden of the castle, Fenrir muttered while some of the goddesses kept following him hoping he would jump on them like earlier, but it really disappointed them, when he didn't do that.
Edona chose not to stay close to Fenrir because his actions often caused her to feel overwhelmed with emotions. The mere presence of Fenrir had been enough to make her mind race with countless thoughts and feelings, which was an unusual experience for her. As a result, she was absent when he needed oversight.
"Hey! Go and remind him," One of the goddesses that were following him said in a meek tone hoping he wouldn't hear them.
"Why should I? What if he gets angry? He's not someone we should mess with,"
They were talking with each other and arguing, about who is going to remind Fenrir to play with them, but in the midst of all this, there was Artemis who was spying on Fenrir with her eyes still fuming in anger.
"That bastard! Why did he change all of a sudden? Don't tell me he fell in love with my Tasha," Artemis was keeping her distance trying to find a weak spot in Fenrir.
She already found some important pieces of information about the Apocalypse weapon from Apollo, so she decided to leave the weapon to him and spy on Fenrir.
"With my bow, not even Mother Superior can come out unscathed, he might have beat me in close-range fights, but I'm the goddess of bows and hunting, so how dare he think that he can beat me like this?" Artemis thought as she took out her bow which looked awe-inspiring and it is crafted from the finest silver and adorned with intricate designs of mythical beasts in heaven, it gleams in the sunlight. The bowstring is made from the sinew of a great lion, and as she draws it back, the string hums with a power that seems almost otherworldly. The arrows, too, are a wonder to behold - each one tipped with a razor-sharp point of obsidian, and feathered with the purest white feathers of a swan.
She pulled her bow taut as she aimed at Fenrir, the young man who was wandering in her garden. He had no business being there, and she intended to make sure he learned the lesson to not mess with any goddess again.
In one swift movement, Artemis released the arrow, sending it hurtling towards Fenrir with lightning speed. Fenrir had no time to react as the arrow hit him in the back, piercing his heart and leaving a huge gaping hole with blood leaking from it.
Fenrir stumbled forward, his body collapsing onto the ground. He gasped for breath, his eyes fixed on Artemis.
"Serves you right! For Tasha and mother you will die, Idiotic wolf," Artemis couldn't even begin to explain how happy she felt. She thought the arrow wouldn't be efficient but seeing the blood and the splattered organs, she knew it was the end for this wolf that terrorised their heaven.
"Hmph! Apocalypse weapon my ass! My bow is enough to finish this weakling," Her voice was full of mocking tone, as she jumped from the balcony and came close to Fenrir who was lying with his face rather pale.
Artemis stood over him, her face impassive. "You should have known better than to cross me," she said. "This is what happens to those who do."
Fenrir's body went limp, his lifeless eyes staring up at Artmeis without any emotions. Artemis retrieved her arrow and tried to walk away with a smile, but suddenly she felt a rather painful feeling on her leg.
With lightning speed, Fenrir sprang up and sunk his teeth into Artemis's leg. She cried out in pain and shock, staggering back as she tried to shake him off feeling the weight.
Fenrir held on tight, mocking her with every word. "You thought you could kill me so easily, little goddess? You are nothing but a weakling."
Artemis gritted her teeth, trying to push Fenrir away, but his grip was too strong. She could feel the blood trickling down her leg, her anger mounting with every passing second.
"You'll pay for this," she snarled, summoning all her strength. With a swift movement, she kicked Fenrir away, sending him tumbling across the ground.
Fenrir landed in a heap, his eyes looking at Artemis like she was the biggest fool in the universe and got up like nothing happened to him. The wound and the gaping hole remained in his chest, but even without his heart, Fenrir looked totally fine sending Artemis into a fitting rage.
"Monster! Even we higher beings will die if our hearts get pierced like that," She truly meant those words, as Artemis knew what immortality meant looking at the man in front of him, who was smiling at her.
"Don't try anything stupid, do you really want to die?" His words were no jokes, as he released his power which is not originated from mana, unlike the other beings which caused everyone in heaven to almost cough pure mana from their mouth.
The panic spread around the whole dimension as one, causing everyone from youngest to eldest to feel the overwhelming power and the presence of a being that cannot be evaluated.
"I'm already in a problem, so don't go doing dumb things, go back to Tasha and take care of her, she will need you," Fenrir said and with a serious look, he went searching for Edona to tell his decision.
While this was happening in the garden, Apollo who followed Artemis to see the results of his plan kept smiling with mana leaking from his nose.
"This power! This presence! If I can tame him, I will be the dominator," His dreams didn't just stop from heaven, as he wanted to see the faces of everyone that thought he is just a small-time god.
"Then it won't be universal laws or Apocalpyse begins that control everything, it will be,"
He went back with a smile dreaming about the day that is going to come when he will be crowned as the dominator, without knowing how delusional his dreams were.

"He is trying to come here! I can feel it, even for him without the full moon, it will take a lot of time, so I have to be ready before that," Fenrir couldn't help but worry.
Edona, who listened to him complaining didn't know what he is talking about. She was obviously worried because it is rather strange for this playboy to have a serious look on his face, but without knowing the context of what he is talking about she didn't know how to react.
"Who is coming? What are you talking about?" Hearing Edona's question, Fenrir held his head in pain wondering what he was talking about, but no matter how he tried he couldn't squeeze out the name that he wanted to say.
"I don't know! I don't know, but he is coming, I really don't know what I am talking about, believe me, the next full moon won't be the same for both heaven and me," He said and got dangerously close to Edona.
"Edona, I'm scared, I don't know why but I'm scared,"
As soon as Fenrir said those words, Edona couldn't even believe what she was hearing. Within these few days, this is the first time she saw this version of Fenrir which brought several emotions to her mind.
"I don't know why you're scared, but I don't think you have a reason to be scared, you are one of the apocalypse," Edona said to calm him down.
She also felt the effect of previous intimidation from Fenrir, but she didn't go too far to question him because she knew Artemis was the one that attacked him from the children that escaped during this tragedy.
She knew rather than talking about something Fenrir doesn't care about, she should try to learn about this danger, he is talking about.
So upon observing Fenrir's vulnerable and weak side, Edona made the bold decision to take potentially dangerous activities that might end up causing more damage to heaven, but if she can succeed, she would be able to take care of the Supreme Deity once and for all.
It isn't anything different from Apollo, but instead of using power to manipulate Fenrir, she decided to use his emotions.
Edona observed that Fenrir can be easily influenced and if she asks him not to do something, he will still go ahead and do it, showing that he still has a strong childish mentality.
"Listen Fenrir, you can talk about it to me, I will try to help you because I really care about you after all this time," She said while getting close to Fenrir, who was still slightly shivering in panic or fear.
