LAST TIME:
"I'm serious nothing is wrong. So anything good?" I asked her as her eyes lit up as they focused on the loot in front of her. Since we had time to kill before we were picked up by the drop ship she was having a good time with me and just her as she happily hummed.
As she explained the loot to me couldn't help but glanced at the time that was slowly counting down my time to accept the quest. But I had a question for myself as I looked at it, was I ready to start living a life like my last one? I didn't want to get involved with these sort of things but yet here was another chance to enter the fray of the divines with ease.
But deep down I didn't want a life living like a god, I just wanted a life of a simple farmer or something. Maybe to be a simple businessman that could come home to a warm meal and a loving wife. However I also knew I was never destined to have such a fate anymore. So until I could chat with Athena and Gaia in private this was going to be on hold. I needed their opinions as well, because if I became divine I would need my soulmates by my side as well wouldn't I?
NOW:
PERCY POV:
My first moment back was not met with cheers of happiness and pats on the back as I had suspected it would. Instead it quickly turned into a Keith yelling in my very calm and collected face. Listen if I had ever seen a sore loser then Keith would be the king of them. His furry was almost admirable as he yelled in my face about 'cheating' and 'honor' and something about 'mysterious demons'. However his rants were quickly silenced by a very slow appeared Aunty C.
One Vulcan neck pinch and Keith was left half paralyzed on the ground with foam coming out of his mouth. Aunty C only wiped her forehead like a job well done as they dragged the uncosious load of angel away from the group as I was seated in a larger area with Athena, Gaia, the crazy aunt and some crew memebers.
"We will wait for Mr. Ruffled Feathers to calm down before we discuss your victory." Said a calm and collected Athena as people scoffed at the nickname for Keith.
However I was not out of the fryer yet as her eyes glanced at me over her fancy tea cup as she slowly took a sip and set the cup back down. Then clearing her throat and suppressing her trembling eyebrow she slowly turned to me with a smiled on her face. But seeing that smile sent shivers down my spine as it looked like she was about to murder me. Oh great deities in the heavens spare me this once, I prayed.
Unfortunately my prayers went unheard as I even swore I heard a stray cough in my mind from Tens.
"So Percy do you care to explain your very interesting… appearance that you took while fighting the goblins?" Asked Athena as I felt this question wasn't for her but for the crew members looking at me in slight fear. I guess she was tired of covering for her boo at this moment.
"Well… since I'm so young and inexperienced I am sure Aunty C would love to explain my current situation to you all in great detail. Also seeing as she is the highest level member aboard this vessel I see that it is only appropriate of her to do so." I said as all the gazes shifted from me to Aunty C who was about to fall asleep.
"Damn brat." She whispered under her breath as I soon received a kick to the shin that dealt over 500 damage. Ignoring the pain I just gave her a smile as she sighed and faced the crew.
"He is a divine soul human, any further questions can be answered in books about divine soul humans." She said simply and easily as everyone stared agape at her explanation.
"What? Got an issue doing your own research? Ehhh!" She said like a gangster as she crossed her legs and arms as they all quickly shook their heads.
"No ma'am!" One yelled.
"I love books!" Another yelled.
"I once wanted to marry a book!" Said a third.
"Let's go research right now guys!" A fourth said as everyone agreed and ran out of the room with all their might. Slowly the rest of us that remained in the room slowly turned to Aunty C as she scoffed a little.
"Cowards…" She grumbled as the angry side of Aunty C was quickly revealed to me.
"So Percy Gaia did tell me what did happened in live time feed over telepathy so I am well aware of the data collected. I am only surprised about your use of the gun." Athena said as she turned into good old Athena, or as I like to call her data collecting mode.
"Well yes but I only fear that in the future the weapon will have its limitations due to mana charge pool that can be used and the ammo provided. If you are looking at warriors then it will be great but if you are looking at high level beings then it will become ineffective." I said as Athena slowly nodded.
"Well I suspected as much. Also why did you transform?" She actually went back to the original topic at hand. However I was prepared this time as I let steam come out my nose with pride.
"Because I am the prideful fiancé of Athena Winston! I cannot have people thinking I come from a weak bloodline can I?" I asked her as she blushed lightly but ignored the comment.
"What's the real reason?" She asked me as I shrugged.
"I needed more mana and by transforming I got more mana." I said simply as Athena sighed as she deduced my answer as soon a smile grew on her lips.
"Oh so you wanted to beat Keith that much did you?" She said as it was my turn to blush.
"Nobody takes my women from me." I said as a slowly whistle from Aunty C and Gaia filled the room as both Athena and me blushed. Heck even the Darkness looked embarrassed by my answer as she hid her face under her cute little paws.
"He's a keeper, your mother is going to be so proud with my report this time." Said the black winged angel as we all ignored her.
"Anyways I didn't want the bastard to win, so I increased my power to fit my need for the moment. Also I want to discuss something with you two alone." I said as they seemed intrigued.
"Oh? Does it have to do with your current level of 999?" Asked Aunty C as I nodded as she blinked in my surprise at my response.
"Wait I pulled that guess from my ass, how did I get that right?" She said astonished as I realized he was just fooling with me but somehow managed to hit it right on the nose.
"Anyways can you leave-." However the door to the room was quickly opened revealing a frustrated but much calmer Keith.
"Oh? Awake so soon sleeping beauty?" I asked her making a pinching motion towards my neck as I vein bulged on his head.
"Shut up. Also I am not accepting the results of this match I demand a recount!" He said in a very angry but low tone.
"The system does not lie Keith you lost fair and square." Said Aunty C with a wave of the hand as he grew more frustrated.
"Then this man cheated somehow, I demand to see the tapes from the match." He said as we all looked at the calm Athena as she slowly sighed.
"Very well I will let you watch the videos, but after doing so you must wait 24 hours until you respond to me. But I am letting you know right now you are no longer a marriage eligible partner unless my mother decides otherwise. But as far as I am concerned Percy is the only man for me." Athena said confidently as Keith ground his teeth against one another in frustration as his eyes seemed to bore holes into me.
"A-As you wish." He said as he stormed out of the room as I saw astral beings swarm towards his ever darkening aura.
"Athena you should put people to keep an eye on him." I said as everyone looked at me.
"Why? He may have a high level but Aunty C is more than enough to handle him." She said as I shook my head.
"Not that, his aura is attracting astral beings. Messengers of the dark deities. His mind is clouded with anger making him an easy target as well. He might be transformed into a {empowered} if this attitude of his continues." I said without emotion as everyone remained silent.
"Is that one of your powers as being a branded one?" Asked Aunty C as I slightly nodded.
"Being part of the astral plane and the living plane. Neither alive nor dead. It is a confusing place to be. I used to have some issues but ever since I unlocked my true soul it has acted like a barrier. But sometimes the bigger ones get through and I have to deal with them." I said as they seemed to all be learning a new part of me.
"I don't really like to talk about it." I said while rubbing the back of my head. I never even spoke to Gaia about these things.
"…"
"Anyways both of you guys can we go talk?" I asked them as they nodded as Aunty C sighed unhappily after being left out.
"I will have some people keep an eye on Keith. If it comes down to it I will deal with him myself." She said as she stood up and exited the room leaving just Me, Gaia, and Athena all alone in the room. Also Darkness who seemed to be taking a nap.
"So what is it you wanted to talk about?" Athena asked me as I slowly pulled up the quest given to me and shared it with Athena and Gaia to look at. After reading through it their eyes widened in surprise.
"I-I never would have guessed it was something like this." Athena said.
"I knew you were hiding something." Gaia said glancing at me as I chuckled lightly. However I then leaned forward and put my hands on my knees.
"I need advice… is this the right path for me? Should I try to gain divinity?" I asked them as they both glanced at each other.
"I don't see it as a bad thing but… I know you want to get away from this sort of thing." Athena said as I nodded.
"Well if it were me… I wouldn't accept it." Said Gaia as we all stared at her in surprise.
"Why is that?" We asked her as her brow furrowed.
"Divinity, if it is anything like godhood, will be an immense challenge to obtain. I am just worried it will be a tougher journey than your last life Percy. I want you to relax and let your anger dissipate. You don't need this sort of challenge right now. Maybe in the next fate cycle or even the one after that." She said as her eyes flashed with concern.
"Well I am already battling that uphill battle right now." I said looking at my fake arm as her eyes trembled a little.
"I understand what you mean though." I said as a sad smile formed on her lips.
"My last life was full of things that nearly killed me a million times over and eventually did. But that godhood was only going to be bestowed upon me by Zeus. That would have made me an underlying and only that. This however is to obtain a divinity under none and above all. To actually do something of that caliber… might be beyond me." I said however Athena then spoke up.
"I saw it's worth a shot." She said as we both looked at her as her eyes burned with the fire of passion.
"If Percy obtains divinity that that will let him make us his underlings and become divines along with him. That means we can all spend more time together and not have to worry about being separated from him. Plus I can tell that with every soulmate you meet the fire of anger in your heart dies out a little." She said as I guess she was right, at least I wasn't that angry little shit like I was in the academy.
"Still he could die!" Gaia shouted at Athena as she bit her lip and spoke back.
"Even if he does that just means another cycle will begin again. We will all meet him once more and start our journey again!" She said as Gaia struggled.
"Why are you treating death as such a loose concept?" Gaia said as Athena blinked at her in surprised and then seemed to go deep into thought.
"I…I don't know why. I think it is because of Percy, as long as he is around me I feel like anything is possible." She said with a slight blush as I couldn't help but smile.
"…" However Gaia was silent as she seemed to think for a minute.
"Bark!" A small yip from Darkness however broke us from our thoughts as she stood on my leg. I just smiled as I brought out one of her treats and gave it to the tiny wolf as she happily munched on it. Her satisfied face full of happiness as we all couldn't help but smile as suddenly Darkness's limitless memories rushed into my mind. Small events like the ones happening that were recorded in her mind and the way they played out flashed in my mind. It was like it was showing me the percentage of success at this time.
"Hmm…" I thought as the scenes slowly ended as I looked back at Gaia and Athena and then Darkness as she let out a satisfied burp.
"I will accept it then." I said as Gaia looked slightly saddened as I laughed a little.
"If there is anything I have learned from my time here it is that this is not a simple game that we can reset whenever we want to and start again from the beginning. Each time is a new life and an adventure of its own and when the risks are present to us we should challenge them. Because if we didn't then why would it be worth living?" I asked them as Gaia simply sighed as and shook her head as Athena gave a small smile.
"I guess you're right as always about these sort of things." Athena said as Gaia quickly moved to my side and snuggled up against my arm as she rubbed her face on it. This only earned a jealous glare from the angel in the room.
"At least you have me Percy." She said happily as I laugh as I felt my other arm being grabbed as the jealous angel glared at Gaia.
"You mean he has us both." She said as Gaia glanced over at her only to shoot her a wink that made her blush.
"You mean we all have each other." She said as Athena's blush only grew as Gaia suggested some girl on girl stuff. Though I was not one to complain.
"Haha." I said as I leaned down and kissed them both on the cheeks as Gaia squealed in delight and Athena blushed as red as an apple but didn't refuse the kiss.
"Then it's decided. Let's see what kind of divine I can become." I said as I opened the quest and hit the yes button.
Beep! Are you sure you want to continue down this treacherous path?
Yes/No
I only rolled my eyes as I hit yes again as more notifications popped up in front of me.
Alert! The quest of becoming a divine by your own power has started! The divines that stand in the heavens grow curious of your choice. While some smile upon your decision and grant you the best of luck others frown upon it and wish to bring you harm. The land of divines is filled with many opinions and you will have to face them all!
As one who has just began to walk the path of the divine be weary that others like you will comes to sense your presence as you do with them. Some will act and others will not but be weary for not all of these people will share the same beliefs. As of right now you make the 25th divine path walker on this planet.
Since you have started to walk the past of the divine you have been connected to the universe Chaos system. This system is much different from your previous Gaia system and to adjust you will be put into a coma for the next 24 hours. However you have 1 hour to find a place to sleep until the change is complete.
Once change has been made Chaos system tutorial will be available for one week. Have a nice sleep and welcome to a world much larger than you could have ever imagined. Also you have complete gob's quest and can keep his skill.
Ignoring the thing about Gob that just kind of popped up I nodded as I saw that I had one hour to find a spot to sleep.
"Okay good, I will make the change to the Chaos system in an hour. I need to find a place to sleep for 24 hours." I said as Athena nodded.
"You can sleep in my room. It is the most heavily defended place on the ship. Nobody but Gaia and I will be able to enter." Athena said as I nodded as I quickly followed them to her room. As I did I found myself on her bed and with a message asking if I wanted to start the transfer early. I could only exhale slowly and nod.
LINEBREAK:
THIRD PERSON POV:
Sitting in a throne high above the world sat Tens as he and several other demon deities all watched Percy accept the quest to walk on the path of the divine. As per king Victors mission Tens was to look over the twerp and report back to the king whenever something happened. However just as he was about to send the report a message was sent to him instead.
"The king has requested your presence in his domain." Said a small world spirt that slowly floated before the massive body of tens. Here up in the home of the divine's even world spirits were used as simple message senders.
"I understand." He said with a sigh as he slowly stood up ignoring the other demon deities that all ranked below him. With one giant step his body seemed to phase through space and in and instant he was before a massive palace that would even put his own to shame. But even standing before the doors he felt a cold sweat run down his bare back as.
"Oh? You made it after all." Said a familiar female's voice as Beatrice in her kimono appeared not but a few feet from Tens's massive foot.
"I am the leader of the demon divine faction of course I was called. I am just wondering why a 7th generation divine faction captain was called. Unlike a 5th generation like me." He said smugly as Beatrice's face scrunched up in anger.
"Tens… big and red as always." Said a new voice before Beatrice could speak back to him. As Tens seemed to freeze in place. He quickly turned his third eye to the left of Beatrice to notice a figure that had escaped his vision. In a second a women dressed in a business suit with black rimmed glasses and short black hair, but her lower half was that of a spider making her an arachnoid monster divine.
"Mother…" Beatrice said pulling her kimono tight hiding her previously erotic flaunting of skin. Anyone could see Beatrice's mood took a 180 as she treated this women more like a demon that she did tens. Her body even shook in slight fear as she tried to quickly fix her appearance. But only one of her mother's own eight eyes glanced at her own daughter. This was the leader of the arachnoid divine faction and 4th generation divine.
"I see you and my daughter have been growing closer lately." She said as Tens felt the need to squash this big bug right now. However he kept his cool as he chuckled lightly which made the ground bellow tremble.
"Well the king did assign us to watch over a certain mortal. He even placed a good amount of trust in your daughter. Didn't you know?" He asked her as she looked slightly stunned as all eight eyes turned to her daughter who was finished fixing her kimono. Her daughter like a fly caught in her web as her eyes seemed to be as poisonous as her fangs.
"No… I did not. Beatrice is not one to talk to me about anything. What and ungrateful daughter I have had." She said in a stern demeaning tone that made the small arachnoid divine shiver in fear. Even Tens felt bad for Beatrice at this point, they said spiders eat their young but this kind of verbal torment was just as bad.
"You should be prouder of our daughter Pricilla. She is more than meets all 8 of your eyes." Said a man's voice as he gave a large yawn. All eyes then turned to see a man wearing a ruffled blue shirt and black pants. His rainbow colored hair was a complete mess and around his collar were lipstick marks of different colors. He then gave another large yawn and rubbed his eyes revealing a sleepy pair of red irises.
"Devan… I didn't know the king required a fool's assistance." Pricilla growled out as even Tens heard her teeth grinding against each other. However Beatrice's face seemed to light up as she ran over to her said father.
"Come on Price our night of passion lead to wonderful child did it not?" Devan said happily as he patted Beatrice's head as she hugged him happily. Her smile seemed to only make the 4th generation divine smile wider.
"I missed you daddy." Beatrice said as Devan smiled then looked up at Tens as he gave him a curious look.
"Back from your mission I see." Tens said offhandedly as he seemed to ignore Devan's look.
"Indeed, as one of the few divines that certain around love I have much to do. You would not believe what I had to go through." He said with a dramatic sigh Beatrice giggled a little.
"Also you better not be courting my baby girl." Devan said sternly as Tens was directly pushed into the conversation he didn't want to get into.
"I am not I assure you, I have all three of my eyes trained on another." Tens said in a dreamy sigh as Beatrice made a snarky face.
"Are you talking about that Heavenly that 6th generation angel divine again? I heard she failed the captain's test again and she isn't even as half as pretty as the other angels." She said as Devan laughed.
"A demon and angel? An interesting combination. If you need any advice just ask me. I am the leader of the love divines after all." He said with a smirk as Tens coughed a little as his red skin hid his blush.
"Oh? Leader? I thought you were demoted again for sleeping with boss. Also you call me Price again you will find yourself wrapped in web so thick you would never be able to escape." Said Pricilla with an angry tone as Devan shrugged his shoulders.
"Listen Price as much as I love the feel of your string on my skin your goanna have to cut back on the bdsm. My weak body can only take some much abuse." He said without a beat as she was about to yell at him but stopped and turned her head away ignoring him. It seemed her insults would only get shot right back at her at this rate.
'Is this the lover's quarrel they speak of in the legends?' Tens thought to himself as he noticed two new people joining them.
"Hehe Devan a player as always I see. How many kids do you have now? 25? 26?" Asked a new voice as two women walked up. One dressed in an oversized black robe with a huge scythe on her back and the other the same size as Tens. She however had ten massive pairs of angel wings on her back and was dressed in a nuns robe made of white fabric with gold thread.
"Marcy." Tens and every else gave the 3rd generation Angel a slight bow. She was currently the leader of one of the four different divisions of divine angels. Though her boss Tiffany was the true leader of the entire Angel divine species much like Tens was for demons.
But since a variety of demi humans with wings fell under the angel faction you could say the angel faction was one of the large ones. But not as nearly as big as the human faction, they had a total of 18 faction leaders.
"Everyone." Marcy greeted them as she opened on o her eyes revealing a golden pupil as it landed on Tens.
"Tens." She said as he gave a nod. It was no secret that Tens was currently infatuated with Heavenly who fell under Maria's control. He had contacted her multiple times about courting her but was rejected each time by Marcy.
"Ohhhh… drama. Me likey." Said the cloaked women as with the scythe as Tens felt his eyebrow twitch.
"Opal." He said with a heavy tone as a devils smile appeared on her mouth that could be seen under the hood.
"Wow Tens you didn't even try to hit me this time." She said as Tens felt a vein bulge on his forehead.
"Don't temp me you midget. Anyways aren't you supposed to be doing your job as a Neet (A/N: Look up Neet if you don't understand)?" He asked her as Opal stuck her tongue out at him.
"You're jealous because I don't have to do a lot of work unlike you." She said happily as Marcy sighed along with Pricilla.
"For a 2nd generation divine you don't show it." Marcy said as Opal gave a wide smile.
"I have worked far harder than any of you younglings so I deserved to sit back and relax as my factions are taken care of. I only have to step in when things troublesome." She said as she skipped along. Somehow the oldest among them seemed to have the most energy.
"Opal!" Beatrice yelled as she ran after the old women in disguise of a 17 year old. As she reached her Beatrice reached in her Kimono and pulled out a book and secretly handed it to Opal.
"I am finished with this one do you have the next ones?" She asked quietly as Opal grinned and put the book inside her rob only to pull out three more as Beatrice's eyes lit up. Tens tried to read the title but the 7th generation divine was too fast for him. All he could read was the title which was 'Ten Count' and from the way the book looked it appeared to be a manga. What? Tens knew about those picture books.
(A/N: If you're up for a laugh and Beatrice's and Opal's manga preference you can google Ten Count. The only reason I know about this is because my girlfriend reads it.)
"Thank you so much." Beatrice said happily as she and Opal quickly walked into the giant temple. Seeing the two not waiting for any others the others followed as Tens was quick to open the large door for Marcy. This only earned him a few snickers from some and multiple eye rolls from a certain spider women.
"Thank you Tens." Marcy said as she walked inside the door as the others found themselves in a giant room with a simple throne seated in the front and around it were some chairs made big enough for all the visitors to sit in.
In the head throne sat Victor in his simple attire with his golden cape hanging on a coat rack beside his throne along with his cane leaning up against side of the throne. Victor himself had a floating screen in front of him that the others recognized as the upstart not too long ago with the super powerful soul. What was his name again? Ah right Perseus. Remembering this name the others figured out what this meeting was about now.
"My King." They all said as they kneeled down before Victor as his eyes that seemed to still be closed looked up at them. As they did a huge pressure could be felt that even Opal could barely shake off. However none of them flared their aura's to push off the pressure, which would be disrespectful to the king.
"I am glad you all could make it. This is the tenth meeting I've had today so forgive me if I am an a little tired." He said with a slight sigh as his tone was that of an exhausted old man. But after he spoke the air lost its tension. After the tension left the air he waved his hand as the deities all seated themselves.
"I assume you all know of the divine quest that was accepted earlier." He said simply as they all nodded.
"Good… I have brought you all here to discuss a serious matter that is related to this." He said solemnly.
"Has something bad happened my king?" Asked Devan as the king shook his head.
"No nothing bad has happened but an omen has appeared before us when the quest was accepted." He said as everyone looked shocked. If it was serious enough for the king to go through so many meetings then it was bound to be world shaking.
"So far only the upper echelon knows of it and I am telling you as well. Perseus has a destiny upon him so powerful it can influence the very world we protect. So to see the possible future we had Madam Life use her clairvoyance to try and see it." He said as some of the women gasped.
"But Madam Life hasn't used her power in so many years. Was the omen so strong that you need to do such a thing?" Asked Pricilla as Victor nodded.
"Indeed we did." He said as everyone was amazed at the lengths of which the king took for a simple mortal.
"So what did his future hold?" Asked Opal as Victor frowned.
"That is the thing. I would have not gathered you here if it were not so confusing. You see while Madam Life used her powers she could not decipher his destiny. She could only sense two shadows of the most likely futures. One was a future that held more promise than we could even imagine. Another was world covered in darkness that was ever growing an expanding." He said as silence filled the room as Marcy opened both her eyes as her golden irises shined out.
"But he is only a mortal. Madam life should have no issue deciphering such a destiny. Even the destiny of a divine lays open and clear before her." She said as the king nodded.
"Indeed… which is why I need your help." He said.
"We live to serve the king." All of them knelt as a faint smile graced his lips.
"Please return to your seats, I have not finished yet." He said as they did as he said.
"What do you need our help with?" Asked Tens as Victor glanced at him.
"I need you to hold back and try to prevent the dark ones from reaching him and using him as their weapon. Perseus is in a fragile stage of his growth period right now and before he becomes a divine he is susceptible to have his judgement clouded. I need you all to prevent any attempts of the dark ones up here. This can mean intercepting divine messages to hiding Perseus from their sights completely." As victor explain Marcy got a confused face.
"My king may I ask why you put so much faith in a mortal? We don't even know if he can complete the journey to become a divine in the first place. What makes you so sure he can even become a divine?" She asked him as he smiled.
"Call it a King's intuition." He said as Marcy slowly nodded.
"So what should we do?" Asked Beatrice.
"For now watch over him and keep all exits from the divine plane sealed. Also if you can send some of your followers to aid him I you must but not too much, we are here to guide him on the fastest route to his own divinity not yours. But we cannot cover all exits that is for sure so some of the dark ones attempts will get through. He will have to be strong and stand tall. In the meantime let him have his rest." Victor said as everyone agreed.
"Sir may I ask you something?" Asked Tens as Victor nodded.
"If he does succeed then will that make him the 3 divine to ever achieve their own power of divinity?" He asked.
"Yes it will at least on this planet." He said in a mysterious tone as Tens didn't feel like going into much detail about that at the moment. It was something beyond his reasoning.
"If that is so then if I remember right that will make him one of the more powerful deities, if that happens… what will happen when he reaches the divine plane?" He asked Victor his gaze grew dark.
"I asked Madam Life that same question and you know what she told me?" He asked him as Tens shook his head.
"A divine war that will be larger than any divine war before will be set in motion and Perseus will be the center of it all."
