Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson
LAST TIME:
"Like a simple claim could do that, Nope. Irene and Hestia both had a rule, I was not allowed to claim any women unless they were my soulmates." I said as they all seemed to smile just a little.
"Wait just how many soulmates do you have?" Asked Hera.
"Last time I check I had 7 possible soulmates." I said as Thalia started to count on her fingers.
"Hestia, Irene, Me, Hera, Artemis, and Reyna. Who is number 7 then?" Asked Thalia.
"I don't know." I said with a shrug as they all starred at me not buying it.
"Wait what about us the? Do we all only have one soulmate?" Asked Artemis.
"Yep but just like Yuel and Tracy you are going to love each other slowly and surely." Is said as they all looked at one another and shivered a little.
NOW:
PERCY POV:
I sat quietly in my own little throne with my head resting on one arm as I watched people gather onto the coronation grounds. The coronation grounds were currently right on top of the Tree of life, so it gave a spectacular view all around us. However due to be being a Supreme Emperor I had to arrive early and wait for the rest to file in. But I can't complain that much, I do get a throne and that is kind of cool. Also with my first Empress not here, her being Irene and all, the throne beside me with a white dragon wrapped around it was empty.
"You look bored." Said Jessie or my ice friend's wife, currently me and her were on the same terms as me and her husband. Friends for life, plus she is a really nice lady. At least I think so, whenever I ask her husband she seems to take a vow of silence and doesn't talk to me for a while.
"I am extremely bored, I don't even know why I came here. Sometimes I wonder why they invite me to these things if they hate me so much." I said with a large yawn as I covered my mouth with a hand.
"Didn't get much sleep last night?" Asked Markus as he peeked around his wife as she just stared at me. Thankfully I was on the very end so I didn't have to worry about someone talking to me from my right side.
"Not more than an hour, I swear I am going to lock out all my wives from my room the next time I sleep. I don't care how cold they get they can suck it up, I don't need 4 people snuggling up to me and creating a furnace like temperature." I exasperated as Markus and his wife exchanged a glance.
"I think you are the first man ever to complain about having 4 women snuggling up against you." Said Markus.
"Yeah you might think that but if they are all super powered goddess and demigoddess then it is different. Hestia is a literal hearth and is makes a bed so hot you are sweating all night, Hera is like a snake and wraps around you like a vice grip and won't let go for anything. Artemis glows like a nightlight when the full moon is out and it makes it harder to fall asleep and Thalia lets off small jolts of electricity in her sleep. Other than being nice and toasty and surrounded by women they do have their flaws." I said in one breath as I shook my head.
"Well Jessie is like an icicle at night, not a shred of heat comes from her." Markus said as Jessie the half snow fairy just glanced at her husband and rolled her eyes.
"But you two are like the ice couple and love the cold." I said as they sighed.
"I give, there is no hope for you." Markus said.
"Hey." I complained as I proceed to ignore the two as I glanced at the seats to find everyone seated and looking around in awe. The four cuddle bugs all dressed up in fancy clothes as they looked around, however the 5 princess were all chatting with one another. Yuel however was kicked out of Zoe and Tracy's group and stuck talking to Phoebe as my step daughter talked about her boyfriend.
"Oh leave him alone he is new to this whole situation, don't worry when Markus married his second Empress he was all skittish in bed as well. It will pass in about a month or two." Jessie said as Markus coughed in embarrassment.
"Well that is nice…oh looks we are starting." I said as music began to play that would make any normal human cry it was so beautiful. Though I saw Zoe and Tracy sniffle a little they played it off with a light cough as they turned to the hallway to see a young man that looked 18 began to walk from the stairs that lead up here. It reminded me of a wedding but when I saw the flag people and the soldiers come up with him I instantly threw that through away.
Slowly they made their way to the stage that was about 3 feet lower than all of our seats. Sitting in the middle of all of us was Haydon as he smiled as his son made his way to the middle of the platform. As he stopped in the middle his phoenix armor shined like a crystal as he went down to one knee and bowed to all of us. As he did so did all the soldiers and flag holders, with that everything grew quiet as a small breeze blew buy.
"Rise my son." Said Haydon as his son did as he was told, as he stood up the soldiers stood as well and walked around the sides of the platform. As they did they tilted the flags of the phoenix empire so it gave a hallway kind of effect.
"Father." The young man said as his Haydon clear his throat.
"We come here today…" After those four I droned him out with ease as I just starred at the two talking. Not one word reaching my ears as I tried to think of things I might do for the next day or so. But finally a man brought up a small cushion with the phoenix crow on it as Haydon slowly strolled down from his chair. As he did his son once again kneeled down as his father spoke, at this point I tried to tune in again but it was difficult. But with a little work I managed to do so.
"And now I crown the new Supreme Emperor of the Supreme Phoenix Empire Justin Fire." Haydon finally said as he placed the crow on his sons head as Justin slowly stood up and embraced his father. As he did everyone clapped joyfully, however the faces on Artemis and Hera said they wished they were anywhere else but here.
"Now take your seat as Supreme Emperor." Haydon said as he son slowly made his way up to his father's throne as the first Empress slowly got out of her seat and joined Haydon on the platform. Slowly Justin sat in the seat and with that everyone cheered and clapped as Justin smiled and slowly raised his hand to stop them.
"I thank you all for coming to my coronation and but a true coronation is not complete without a after party!" He yelled as there were cheers in the crowd.
"I hope you all join me in the party, especially the current Supreme Emperors. I hope to get to know you all in time." He said with a smile as he slowly stood up and began to walk towards the exit.
LINEBREAK:
"That was nice." Hestia said as I nodded without any emotion on my face. Just like Hera and Artemis as the two looked down at their plate of food and poked the food around on their plate.
"Oh come on you three for once can you not be so…you." Hestia complain as Thalia laughed as the two goddess glared at the demigoddess.
"I hate parties." Said Hera and Artemis at the same time as I chuckled.
"Why?" Asked Thalia as she munched on something that looked like a lobster but probably something much more expensive.
"Every time I go to one Zeus always sleeps with another women." Hera said in an emotionless voice as Thalia quieted down.
"What about you?" Hestia asked Artemis.
"I just don't like Parties, men always try and ask me to dance. I hate that about them." She mumbled as that sounded reasonable.
"So…" Hestia started but looked behind me as I turned around to see a familiar 18 year old walking my way. A smile plastered on his face as I was forced to stand up and turn towards him.
"Supreme Emperor Perseus, it is a pleasure to meet you." He said as he extended out his hand as I shook it and nodded.
"Same, can quiet say I have ever seen you." I said as he shrugged.
"I don't come out of the capital much and I have heard from father that you haven't been to the immortal plane in a good amount of years." He said as I nodded.
"I had other matters to attend to on my home world. So tell me Justin-." However I was cut off by the lights dimming as they started to focus on a high-rise as a man came out of the door in the wall.
"Justin if you can come up here." The man politely asked as Justin turned to me as I gave a nod, with that he slowly made his way to the man who I remember as some sort of royal decree maker. Every Empire Supreme or not had one, kind of like a rule keeper if you will.
"I know we are all gathered her today to witness Justin's ascension to Supreme Emperor. However there was one major fault we looked over, that is the selection for a Supreme Empress. It is stated in the Supreme Empire laws that any Supreme Emperor when ascending the throne must have a wife of find a wife in the next year. However as of a millennia ago there was a modification to this law by the alliance."
"It now states that the new Supreme Emperor must select a wife of the same social status as him. This is to prevent any unworthy people from dirtying the bloodline of the Supreme Emperor. However at the time there is no Supreme Empire with any princess's available for marriage as all are either engaged or claimed." He said as I started to feel a cold sweat slowly drip down my back. However as I saw Haydon a few feet away a smirk was plastered right across his face. At that moment my eyes widened to the extreme as he mouthed words to me.
'There is no escape from the alliance now Perseus.' Is what he mouthed to me as I felt a burning rage in side me ignite.
"However that does not mean that the new Supreme Emperor cannot choose a wife outside the Alliance. But if a wife is selected outside the Alliance then the Supreme Empire must sigh the alliance agreement or forfeit their daughter to the new Supreme Emperor. Also we all already know that if a Princess is selected as a bride she has no right to refuse the proposal. Now that I have restated the laws Justin I think that you can choose." Said the man as his eyes slowly met mine, just then a wicked smile was plastered on his lips.
"Her." He said as he pointed right at Zoe as she froze in place. At that moment I appeared right in front of her as I let out a feral growl.
"You touch her and I will break you." I said as a deadly black aura slowly spread around me as Zoe just starred in awe as Haydon sighed.
"You know the laws Perseus there is nothing you can do, unless she is already claimed that is. Though if she is the male will dull against Justin for dominance since she is an Omega. But by the way her scent is I assume she is not." Haydon said as I pushed Zoe behind me as everyone and the Emperors that were under my rule gathered around.
"I don't give a dam about your laws, you put that in just so you could force me to join your alliance. But to go as far as to try and force my daughter to marry your little brat is going too far. I don't care what you do to me but when you get my family involved you don't know what you are messing with." I said as I just starred at all the Supreme Emperors who now held looks of anger on their faces. Everyone but Markus and his wife who had joined me and the others.
"I knew this was bound to happen. Perseus Jackson under degree of the Supreme Emperor laws you are hereby marked as a traitor to your fellow Supreme Emperors. Since you are traitor to us that means you and your family as well as your Emperor's and their families are sentenced to death. You land and resources will be divided evenly between the Supreme Alliance. Mathew summon them." Haydon said as a man nodded and raised his hand to the ceiling and fired off a magical flare that passed right through the ceiling.
"All of you run!" I yelled to the people behind me as I used Light mana to create a massive flare that blinded nearly all of the people in the room.
"You can't fight a war on two fronts Jackson! The king already knows of you! You can't run forever Jackson!" I heard Haydon yell from inside the room as everyone made a break for it. As for me that one sentence almost made me stop moving as I turned back and destroyed the hallway with ease as I made the wood grow so fast it completely sealed off the hallway.
"Dad what did he mean?" Asked Zoe who was still in shock as Tracy and Yuel ran on both her sides as they protected her.
"I don't know…but I have a feeling that my guess is about 95% correct. Hestia what are the chance of the people who are waging war against our universe to have come to this place?" I asked as she stayed silent.
"I am going to say 100%, I can't believe they already came to this place. I thought we at least had 3 more years until the war started." Hestia said as everyone started to panic as we ran. Quickly we reached the Gryphon bay were a large amount of guards were waiting for us. However they were quickly dispatched by my Emperors who were all at least spirit soul mana cultivators. Not as strong as god level mana cultivators but still god enough to deal with some imperial guards.
"So did I but I guess they someone found their way into the supreme Alliance and made them want to kill me more than they already did. But this only opens up more challenges for us, anyways we can think about this later. For now you all need to make it back home or at least an outpost." I said as they all nodded.
"Wait dad what are you talking about?" Asked Yuel as I looked at her.
"My home world Earth is under threat people called the Old Ones, they are from another universe they completely wiped out. Apparently they have some super strong guy that makes me look weak and stuff. Anyways long story short we captured one of their spies he told us that they were going to attack in 3 years. But apparently they are also going to launch an attack from the immortal plane as well. This cuts off our escape route, basically since wars here last at least 50,000 years they decided to attack us here early." I said as Yuel's eyes went wide.
"Perseus we are ready to go." Said one Emperor as I nodded and loaded everyone up on their large gryphon.
"Good let's go!" I said as all the gryphons started to take off and head towards the warp gate.
THIRDPERSON/NARRATOR POV:
As the group flew through the air at a top speed Percy could feel the people chasing them. There was 100 in total and 90 of which were god level mana cultivators. You see a god level mana cultivator is someone who can use mana to strengthen their body and soul. Like a smith making a sword, over time if enough mana is used to strengthen the body people can become a mana cultivator. Though it can take millions of years for someone to reach a certain level thanks to their body being reformed by the mana their lives can be extended.
There are 14 levels of mana cultivation know, each level increasing the life and strength of a cultivator. If you want to put it in a perspective you can imagine then an Olympian God such as Zeus would rank at least a high level 9 and a god as powerful as Artemis would rank at least a low level 7. If you are wondering if what kind of Tier of mana spells they can use then that is simple a high level 9 such as Zeus can use a tier 7 mana skill at least once and be spent.
Basically if you were a level 10 then you could use a tier 8 mana move and if you were let's say a tier 5 then you could only use a tier 3 mana move. Whatever your level of mana cultivation is the highest tier mana move you can use is always 2 levels lower than that. So that goes to say if you are a level 14 mana cultivator then does that mean there is a tier 12 mana move you can use? The answer to that is yes there is a tier 12 mana skill but those are simply so powerful they can wipe out entire solar systems in a blink of an eye.
Unfortunately a god level mana cultivator is the level 14's name of mana cultivation. Which meant that Percy and his group were being chased by 90 people who all can wipe out a solar system in the blink of an eye. Which was not good for them in the long run, but the ten people who weren't god level mana cultivators seemed to put Percy on edge. Their power even seemed to exceed that of the god level mana cultivators. If a 15th level of mana cultivation was possible this would only be bad news for Percy.
"All of you hurry we don't have much time before they catch up." Percy yelled as his group all went as fast as they could to the warp gate. You see the immortal plane was so large that they have to set up warp gates to travel across it faster. Basically these warp gates are giant arches that make the gateway arch in St. Louis look like a baby. But in reality the current distance from Percy's Super Empire's edge to this arch at the tree of life was a little over 99 galaxies away.
Which each galaxy is about 500 thousand lightyears across, so you do the math, it is a long distance that is inconceivable to normal humans. But these archest could only send you 500 thousand lightyears across the immortal plane so Percy and his group getting to the Tree of Life had to take 99 of the things. But thanks to these warp arches it makes it possible to travel that distance in 3 months.
But unlike normal arches where massive Super Empires thrive and trade all year long, the arch around the tree of life was different. Due to royal decrees the area around the tree of life for 1 light year or about 5,879,000,000,000 miles was prohibited from having any civilizations to preserve the land. The only thing that was allowed to be built in this area was this arch but thanks to a special mana vein in the ground this arch was able to warp the distance of 1 light year to the nearest arch.
So if this arch was destroyed then the nearest arch was 1 light year away which would basically increasing the traveling time of anyone here from 3 months to just short of 25 years if you were going to Percy's Super Empire. However this concept was very clear to Percy as he starred at the arch as it came into view, he had a plan and he knew he was never going to hear the end of it from everyone if he survived this next fight.
'Percy what are you thinking about?' Asked a skeptically voice of Hera I his head.
'Nothing now hurry.' He said as he turned his head back to see 100 streaks of light quickly coming his way.
'Okay…' Hera said as she slowly turned her heed to the arch just in time to as the arch slowly began to whirr to life. A massive blue veil slowly beginning to fade into existence in the arch, Percy could only stare in awe every time this happened. But as he starred he slowly took out his phone and sent a quick text to a fellow God Slayer that was on the other side of the arch.
"All of you go first I will stay behind to destroy the arch, hopefully there will be enough time for me to go through the veil when I destroy it." Percy said as his Emperor's nodded and without words they entered the warp gate. However complicated faces were made by his family as they all just stared at him as he gave them a smile. However as they saw that smile he slowly extended out his hand and a burst of air smashed into them and threw them through the warp gate.
"I hope to see you all again my loves." He said in a sad voice as he slowly floated off his gryphon who gave him one last look and flew through the gate. As it did Percy raised his hands towards the arches sides and fired off a powerful jet of water from his hand. This move was a tier 6 mana move which made water move so fast it could cut through just about anything. With that the line of water cut through one side and then the other as the veil flickered and quickly went out.
At this point the 100 rays of light stopped about a mile in front of Percy and watched in horror as the massive arch slowly began to fall backwards. Percy however remained facing them as the arch slowly fell to the ground and exploded as it hit it. As the massive fireball erupted into the sky all 100 men and women slowly turned to Percy as he stood their motionless. His face dead of emotion as he slowly took off his royal armor, nothing but dead weight to him at this point.
"What have you done!? Do you realize how long it is going to take to get home now?" Yelled one as Percy let go of his armor as it fell to the ground a few miles down.
"Yes I do and I do not care. Even if I die here then by the time you reach my home there will be an army so powerful you won't be able to do anything to it. But if I am fated to die to today then I plan to take as many of you fuckers with me as I can." Percy said as he stood motionless in his black shirt and pants. But then slowly his arms and legs began to transform into his the first level of his mana overlord form.
At this everyone present seemed to sense the drastic increase in Percy's power as his arms and legs turned into platinum gauntlets and boots. The cylinders on his elbows and legs already completely full of pure white mana, ready to inject into Percy to give him the necessary mana he needed to preform massive scale attacks.
"You won't escape here with your life that is for sure." Said a man in a black cloak as 9 others slowly floated beside him. Though they were in the back of the group Percy could still feel the vast amount of power radiating off the. He wanted to be wrong but he knew that what he was thinking was right. Based on their power they were a level above god level mana cultivators, a level 15 cultivator if you will. Percy had never tested himself in mana cultivation but he assumed he was above a god level cultivator.
So these 10 in the back were nearly as strong or as strong as Percy himself at his current power which was about 55 percent of his full power. Even still Percy could only gulp as he starred at the 100 people in front of him. Even if he was at 80 or even 90 percent power he knew he would not come out unscathed. However he still needed to try and kill as many as he could, even if it mean the end of his life. But Percy knew of one way…no even if he could it would be too dangerous. Even he could not control such power.
"What are you going to do Perseus? You have two options either give up and let us capture you or die where you stand. The option is yours, I we will give you a minute to think it over." Said the man in the black cloak again as Percy just stared at him. His only thoughts going through his mind was his possibilities of survival.
LINEBREAK:
As everyone was launched through the warp gate and tumbled through the air they all managed to regain their balanced. Except Thalia who vomited all over Paul's back as she held onto him for dear life Paul could only grimace as the warm vomit slowly slid down his back. However even then Thalia and the rest slowly turned to the arch to see a black gryphon emerge from it. As it did smiles crossed their faces until they saw no one was on top of it. Just then as they all were completely panicked the veil of blue in the warp gate gave one large crack and suddenly broke into a million pieces.
"No." Artemis whispered as she felt tears slowly brim in her eyes. Even Hera and Hestia had ghastly pale faces as they watched in horror. Thalia had a mix of complicated emotions as well as she tried to not vomit on Paul anymore.
"No! Dad!" Yuel screamed as she tried to jump off the gryphon as red dragon wings burst from her back only to be stopped as Tracy and Zoe quickly wrapped their arms around her to keep her still. You could see the complicated emotions on Tracy's face as she held down the screamed Yuel as she begged them to let her go. Not willing to hurt her two soulmates she finally gave up as tears streamed down her face.
"Dammit why do you always have to play hero? You knew they were stronger than you, yet you stayed." Sally said as a small amount of tears trickled down her cheeks.
"You foolish man." Hestia said as their gryphon quickly made a landing near the other royal families. However just as they landed a man quickly ran over who wore a simple outfit that looked like he worked as a librarian.
"Your majesties." The man said with a bow as everyone on the gryphon quickly got off as emotional tension ran between them.
"What do you want?" Asked Hestia who was now in a foul mood, but as she looked at him her face surprisingly lightened as she looked at him.
"Mathew? What in the world are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the crystal library?" Hestia asked him as he nodded. This was Mathew a fellow God Slayer with a particular special ability that Lucifer unlocked.
"I was but his majesty made me follow you all, he was worried something was to happen so he made me come here and said that he might need me to document something." He said as Hestia slowly nodded as everyone looked confused.
"He also just sent me a text saying that he wanted me to start a documentation on the Tree of Life's sacred grounds right now. He also said to let you watch." He said as Hestia's eyes widened.
"What is he going on about?" Asked Zoe as she comforted Yuel.
"Mathew has a special power that is basically like a camera show, as long as he has seen the land before he can film the land. Basically he is like a news crew that doesn't even need to be at the scene. All he has to do is think of the place and we get real time footage of the place, I suspect that Percy brought him so that if he go into a fight we could watch. That dumbass…what are you waiting for hurry up and start the documentation!" Yelled Hestia as Mathew nodded quickly as he paid no mind towards her snappy attitude. Instantly several massive screams popped up in the air as it showed the Tree of life and the area around it.
"There!" Yelled Yuel in happiness as the invisible camera quickly closed in on a floating image of Percy in his level one Mana Overlord form. As it did Percy seemed to sense the camera turned his head towards it and smiled at everyone. At this Hestia, Hera, Artemis, and Thalia all felt a rage for the man they loved but not as much as the feeling of dread as they saw the massive number of people floating in front of him.
"Oh seems we have an audience." Said a man in black as he turned his head towards the camera. Only his mouth was visible but on it was a massive smirk as he turned back to Percy who slowly pulled Night from his waste as the belt transformed into a polearm.
"Well I don't mind at least this way your family can see you die." He said with a laugh as Percy slowly took in a breath and let it out, as he did Night slowly began to transform into his Spartan sword. This time the markings on the sword glowed blood red and the blade now radiated a deadly aura that gave off a black mist. Even through the screen the others could feel just how deadly Night had just become as Percy let the sword's power be unleashed.
"Hmm seems you have a fancier blade than I expected, seems like my collection is going to get larger after today." Said a women in a black cloak with a sinister sneer. However Percy paid her no mind as he stood their silently nothing but the wind was moving at the two sides just starred at one another.
On one side you had 100 of the strongest mana cultivators from the Supreme Alliance who were bought out by the people planning to wipe out Percy's universe. Each of them as powerful as a primordial from earth and able to destroy a planet on whim. Even then there was 10 who stood above the rest but they stayed in the back as they let planned to let their pawns whittle the enemy down until he was weak enough for them to kill.
Then on the other side you had Perseus Jackson or Mortality, the man stronger than the gods and equal to none. His powers were ever growing and seemingly endless, but even then 70 percent of his true power sealed away by the seven sins. His form was that of the Mana Overlord a form that allowed him to use 3 of the seven sins and push his power to 55 percent. This made him as powerful as any primordial but even then in front of nearly 100 people as powerful as a primordial it might not be enough.
Finally you have Percy's family, rooting for him from the sidelines his love ones cannot peal their eyes from the screen showing him. Worry and hate were emitting from his four lovers as they watched their soulmate fight for the future. His children the same as worry filled their souls as they watched their father fight. Even then there was a 5th person watching this fight from a certain place in Percy's own universe.
LOCATION:?
Chaos sat quietly in a chair as she watched the broadcast in front of her, worry spread across her face as she watched the man she…loved fight for his life. Her feelings conflicting with her duty as creator, she wanted to go out there and help him but due to the rule of the Immortal Plane she couldn't. The rule stated that the creator of the universes couldn't not set foot in the Immortal Plane since it was a place of all universes. If this rule was broken then a punishment would be in order for that particular Creator.
Not wanting to test laws of the Omniverse that far exceeded her power she sat their quietly watching the screen in front of her. But as she watched Percy ready himself for the fight a thought ran through her mind. She knew if Percy was pushed into a corner he would activate his trump card. The different levels of his Mana Overlord form, although this form was mysterious original Chaos knew what it was. It was a form that made mana, the very building blocks of the universe, kneel to him like slaves.
But the power that form gave with each increase in level was massive and was very unstable. But it not only removed Percy's limiters just like when they sparred but it also fused the powers of the seven sins into his body making him more powerful. At level 4 when all the sins were fused with Percy his power reached that that would give even her a run for her money. At level 5 in that form he was even able to refuse with the power she sealed in his weapons all those years ago.
But because those weapons held a piece of Percy in them, namely his limitless growing parts. Their power grew throughout the years just like him. At his level 5 Mana Overlord form it was like combining five 200 percent power Percy's into on being. That much power…it made Chaos shiver. But with so much power there was a drawback.
That one drawback to such a power, would be his voice of reason. Normally Irene was there to calm him down whenever he went into that form but since she was gone…he had not safety net to fall into. But as the possibilities ran wild in her head she only prayed that Percy would not use Level 5 because at that point. There was no one who could stop him.
