'Yes I will be on my way. I was checking the ground. The pollution is only growing stronger, I think a dark divine has finally made their move against me. They have strengthened or at least giving one of his/her stronger empowered a divine message to work against me.' I said as Gaia went silent for a moment.
'We will talk about tonight, but I don't think Zoe can wait much longer. She looks ready to get up and march her way back to you. *Sigh* Hunters are always so impatient.' She said as I smiled.
'She is no longer a hunter Gaia. She is a princess now.' I said as Gaia snorted.
'She was a princess before wasn't she?' She asked me as I rubbed the back of my neck.
'I think?' I guessed as it was hard to tell with Atlas, his daughters, and all that.
'Anyways hurry back.' She ended with a kissing sound as I smiled and turned to my two monsters.
"Come let's go back to the Academy, the others are waiting. Silver I owe you a few silver coins as an apology don't I?"
NOW:
PERCY POV:
"I must say I never expected you to be alive." Said a slightly grinning Selena as starred at me like a tiger ready to pounce.
"I agree, still it is good to be back home. Well what is left of it." I said with a light chuckle trying to lighten the mood however all I got was a cough from the current crowd. That being all the top brass and commanders left in the academy.
"Remind me again. Who are you?" Asked a Duke who wore all fancy red robe.
"I am Perseus Jackson, I was once a very accomplished student here. Well before something happened… anyways I have come back in a time of need and I am ready to help." I said as they all whispered to one another.
"If you are here to help then I presume this… advanced airship? Is under your command as well?" One asked as I shook my head and motioned towards Athena who was wearing a formal armor attire.
"No that would be Athena Winston." I said as she gave a slight bow. Right now was the best time for impressions.
"Then may I ask why you bring a war ship to our front door?" One asked as Athena's eyebrow scrunched up a little.
"It is not a warship, it is a research vessel." She said with a tinge of anger as some of them glanced around at each other.
"Regardless it is more advanced then anything we possess in our entire country. I am worried that this is an act of war." He said as I laughed, but his face was soon filled with anger.
"Why do you find this so funny young man!?" A man in a blue robe yelled as my chuckles finally went away as my eyes landed on the two men.
"If it was an act of war then we would not need her ship, I alone would be enough. Well maybe Selena and Mathew could have stopped me. But didn't you hear me just a minute ago? I said I am from the plain of grass, I am here to help." I said as Gaia who was sitting in the seat next to me snickered as the men appeared to be holding in their anger due to a constant glare via Selena.
"Percy don't try and provoke them too much." Athena said as I rolled my eyes.
"Regardless we are here to help are you going to take this helping hand or give it up?" I said as Zoe spoke up.
"We will accept your help." She said as Selena raised an eyebrow but nodded. With that I directe my attention towards the lamia.
"So what brings you to the plain or grass's help?" I asked her as she frowned slightly.
"My country has already been destroyed by this force. We all retreated here since it was the only place to accept us." She said as I nodded. To think it was not only the plains or grass to be attacked.
"Then your mother?" I asked her as she shook her head.
"She was poisoned by that blood cloud. She wasn't marked like the others but she was put in a near death coma. Tracy is by her sides most of the time." She said as I nodded.
"I might be able to help." I said as her eyes gleaned a little.
"Many have tried but they have all failed. What things you can cure her?" She asked me as I smirked.
"Well I am a master alchemist I am capable of many things. But here is not the talk about such a subject. Mathew is in need of treatment and I am probably the only one who can provide it. Regardless walk with me we have much more to discuss in private." I said as she slowly nodded as Zoe and she stood up.
"We will reconvene after dinner. In the meantime check on your troops and count your losses." She told the slightly angry nobles as they all nodded and bowed. With that it was only Gaia, Athena, Zoe, Selena (Artemis), and me left as we exited the room and went toward the med bay.
"You have changed." Zoe said as I smiled.
"It happens when one finds a goal, besides those nobles were just nobodies in my plans." I said as this seemed to fluster Zoe and Selena.
"Nobodies?" Zoe asked me slightly astonished as I looked back at her.
"Of course, after what I have seen and plan to do they are just grains of dirt on a beach." I said with a smirk.
"What has happened to make you think that?" Selena slowly asked as she poked at my statement. As I smirked.
"I have decided to take up a path to the divine realm." I said, let's just say I took this as a chance to brag a little.
"D-Divine realm! You're a your planning to become a divinity!" Yelled Zoe I could smirk proudly as Selena gave me an 'I'm not buying it' look.
"Yes I am… so tell me Zoe are you willing to walk that path with me?" I asked her as she seemed to freeze.
"W-What?" She quivered at the question as her current worry of her past memories and our current soul bond connection was throw out the window. To become a divine was beyond what some could imagine. Zoe being one of those some.
"Wait!" Selena yelled as I let out a slight 'tsk' as I faced the silver tailed lamia.
"You cannot just take one of my commanders away from me in a time of need." She said angrily as I rolled my eyes.
"Listen I can let her stay here until the war is over but then it will be her choice. Is it not my time to give back to my teacher?" I asked as Zoe seemed to remind herself she was my teacher at one point.
"Heck I could bring you with me as well. Once I become a divine I can bring you both into my faction and raise you to the level of divines. Though you will all be called transcended instead of divine." I said as they both look astonished.
"You can do that?" Asked Selena as I nodded.
"It is a power granted to me by the Chaos System." I said dully. It had been my headache for the past couple months trying to figure this thing out while I was Sky continent.
FLASHBACK: (Sky continent)
I sat in silently in a mediation pose as I inhaled and exhaled slowly. But as I did I felt someone smack the top of my head. I just grimaced as I opened my eyes as a women with a stern expression stared down at me. On her back was several pure white angel wings, her looks very similar to a certain grey winged angel.
"I you are a fool, you need to suppress your consciousness. How do you expect to be able to enter your subconscious? Only then will you be able to get access to truly use the Chaos system. You think having the system is enough but only… Are you listening?" She asked me as I just stared at her with a sense of déjà vu.
"Yeah… just you and Athena are too similar." I mumbled as she let out a snort.
"That girl… I don't know what she sees in you." She said as I felt grinned a little.
"Well… I don't know either." I said back as she smiled a little.
"Regardless focus and start meditating again. To fully unlock the Chaos system and use it properly and make your first advancement past level 1000. You need to unlock your subconscious. So begin again." She said as sighed and closed my eyes as I tried to let my consciousness float away.
Athena's mother or Sarah was one of the few how knew more about this world than Athena did. When I acquired the chaos system there was no pop up and no system notification. In fact I couldn't even see my stats or anything related to any system. I however could feel my abilities and stats were very present in my body. Without it I felt awkward to be honest, something that I had for so long was suddenly gone.
You could say… it was like losing a limb, I'm allowed to make those sort of jokes you aren't. But Athena had a plan to help me and that was to meet her mother. Athena cracked and spilled the beans that her mother was smarter than her. Someone smarter than Athena? I couldn't quiet comprehend that topic. But with that thought in mind we set our course to her home, the Sky Continent.
"Relax your body." I heard the words said to me as I did as I was told. My breaths slowly growing longer.
"Rest your thoughts, let all stray thoughts go and let the darkness fill your mind." Sarah said as she guided me through the relaxing phase, I wasn't one to meditate so this was very helpful. But I did as I was told as my mind was left blank.
"Very good, now one more time. Let your mind sink into the darkness, there you will find your subconscious. You will meet the very things you suppress. Overcome them and the Chaos system will be truly yours." She said as the sound died out and soon I found myself slowly sinking.
Suddenly I realized my body was in its soul form like when I visit the divine realm. So I just went with the flow and began to sink. Water to me was a friend, so I let it cover me and carry me to my destination. Last time I was unprepared to sink but this time I was ready. The dark water was so cold it could feel it chill my very soul. But as I sunk the cold slowly vanished as a light appeared before me.
It squinted my eyes as the light grew brighter and brighter until I was finally expelled from the water. The chill vanished and I was left alone, the place I appeared was a simple office waiting room. I was still naked but smooth down lower but I didn't care as I looked around to find nothing out of the ordinary in this waiting room.
"My mind suppressed this?" I asked myself looking around.
"This is not your subconscious." A voice said as I turned to see Sarah sitting at the table looking around at the peculiar room. She was also naked but all important placed were smoothed out and her long hair did a good job at covering her bust.
"I am using magic to be here. This is simply the room to your subconscious, like a grey area between the two parts that keep them separated. However I have never seen a room like this before." She said poking at the microwave as I shrugged.
"So what do I do here?" I asked her as she looked up at me.
"From here you go through that door and you are there. I will leave your mind in a second… So is this a magical device?" She asked me overlooking the microwave still as I laughed a little.
"Perhaps, I have never been here before in my life." I said as a half lie, in my past life I had but in this one I hadn't. Still her lie detection didn't pick it up as shook her head.
"The subconscious is a tricky mistress. Anyways good luck, you will need it." She said as she disappeared with 'pop' and a flash.
After that I turned to a door and slowly reached out my hand towards it. But suddenly my body flinched away from it on its own. My instincts were going crazy as well as I looked at the door one more time. My entire being was screaming at me to not open that door. My greatest fears resided in there and my soul didn't want to face them.
Regardless I reached towards the handle and opened the door as an ink like darkness exploded out and covered me. In an instant it turned into a deep dark water as I felt it invade my lungs. I began to choke on the water as I tried to find air but there was none to breath, I gripped at my throat in pain. Air bubble floating out of throat in and endless stream as I felt the dark water pulling me down deeper.
My copiousness that my soul had begun to wane as I drown in the water. But I closed my eyes and focused as the pain pulsed throughout my body trying to drive my consciousness out. But I steeled my nerves as I felt my body slowly relax.
"This isn't real." I said with an eerie emotionlessness, like I was locked in a black box the walls around me shattered letting all the water out with a gush. The room was revealed to me as it was a church like building with stained glass windows and peers throughout the room. The black liquid covered the ground and slowly spread throughout the room.
But the panes of glass depicted certain scenes on them. Scenes from my life from my past and even a few from this one. Each of a time I wished to never remember, my fellow camper's deaths, being in Tartarus, the Styx, and even my time with Gabe in both worlds.
"Hmm…" A male's voice spoke out as I turned my eyes towards a mirror image of me sitting on a throne at the front of the room. The black liquid avoiding him in a perfect circle.
"I thought that would have worked." He said as I slowly stepped over the broken glass towards him. Unlike me he had pitch black eyes and the rings of gods was above him were all upside down.
"We both know that isn't nearly enough to break me." I said as he smirked at me as he rested his head on one fist.
"Well said, so what can I do for you today? It isn't often I get a visitor, I think the last man here was Hades? No it was Ares was it not?" He said as we both chuckled.
"He never could have imagined the things you repressed. He didn't even last a minute her did he? Regardless you know why I am here." I said as he sighed.
"The Chaos system… such an intriguing thing. To combined the subconscious and conscious to bring out the persons full potential. Truly a magnificent and tragic way to obtain power. The mask we always wear will no long work will it?" He said as I nodded.
"Everything we are as a person… no a being will be will be part of divinity we take. The Chaos system is only there as a pathway. How we construct our pathway will be for me to decided." I said as sudden realization dawned upon me. So that is what the Chaos system is made to do to simply point us in the right direction, but how do I build the path?
"It seems we understand now. Then how would you like to begin?" Asked the other me.
"Well dark Percy-."
"Dark Percy, that's just lame" He complained.
"Anti-Percy?" I asked him as he scoffed at me.
"Ycrep?" I asked as he just laughed.
"Perseus then." I said as he chuckled.
"The name that we have always hated, fits doesn't it?" He said as he slowly stood up and walked towards me. The dark liquid avoiding him the entire way as he finally appeared in front of me and slowly extended out his hand.
"Then let us destroy the world." He said as I rolled my eyes.
"We won't destroy it is our home." I said to him as he frowned.
"Then dominate it?" He asked me.
"Maybe… Maybe not." I said as he grinned.
"Then control it?" He asked me.
"I don't see why the hell not." I finished as I slapped my hand into his as we griped fists and the world around us shattered into black ink. Inside the ink were hundreds of faces in the shapes of demons, it rushed towards the two of us like a river? However this time the black liquid did not avoid him and consumed us both.
"Percy?" A voice asked me as my eye slowly opened. A sudden sensation burst from me as my eyes locked onto Sarah who had spoken my name. The instant they did she suddenly stiffened and took a step back.
"It is done, my two halves are one." I said with an exhale as she just stared at me.
"How do you feel?" She sked me as I slowly grinned. I could only imagine what I looked like.
"Complete for the first time in my life. No loose ends, no fears, nothing to hold me back." I said as I felt a strange string of power run through me.
Alert! [Chaos system has been fully unlocked. Since user has already adapted to chaos system before there will be no wait time!]
[The path has been unlocked it is your decision on how to build it! The Chaos system uses jobs to decide what type of divine you will become. Each Job provided different amount of levels to base level, once base level hits 10,000 then you will become a divine. The type of divine and the things you will have power over will be decided mixture of jobs you have.]
[Special mixtures of jobs can lead to divines ruling over multiple types of power so choose wisely in which jobs to level. The Chaos system will provided quests to obtain jobs that best suit user when the time is right. Also when Divinity is reached a faction will be opened to user to allow them to bring those of the lower realm to the divine realm. However only a certain amount can be brought, this amount is based on the type of divine and strength of user.]
[Good luck and welcome to the road to become a divine!]
[System activated.]
FLASHBACK END:
"That is intriguing." Said Selena as I nodded.
"So what type of divine do you want to become?" Zoe asked lightly as I smiled.
"Secret…" I said in sing song voice as she frowned a little.
"That isn't reassuring." Said Selena as I laughed. Just then we arrived at Mathew's room but as I was about to open the door it opened by itself revealing a male covered in black metal armor that looked like scales. But as I looked at him I noticed he had black scales on him as well and behind him was a tail that looked like a lizards.
"Demetri." Said Selena with a slight bow along with Zoe as I raised an eyebrow to the man with the red iris.
"Selena." He said with a slight smile as his eyes ran over all of us and landed on me. A slight frown appeared on his lips as he looked at me.
"You must be the man who saved Mathew's life. As well as brought reinforcements." He said to me as I already didn't like this guy.
"What's it to you?" I asked him as his eyes narrowed. But he scoffed at me after a second and pushed past me.
"Who is that guy?" I asked her as Zoe responded.
"Remember when I told you about the two highest level people in the plains of grass? That is Demetri the one with the black dragon bloodline. He is level 2786 right now." She said as I shook my head.
"Hmm… I will have a chat with him after all this. In the meantime let's check on Mathew." I said as I entered the room to find a sleeping Mathew as nurses and healing mages walked all about the room.
"All of you leave." Selena said as they looked up at her, they hesitated for a moment but then did as she said as they all left the room. I took my seat by his bed as I monitored his condition as I held his wrist.
"Percy I thought you couldn't heal wounds inflicted by empowered curses." Said Zoe as I shook my head.
"You can't. This isn't that, his would came from one of their weapons so it should have left a curse yet something protected him from it. Or at least weakened it to the point where a mortal can heal it like a normal curse." I said as I ran my hand over his side debating what types of treatment to use.
"What could have done that?" Asked Athena as I glanced at her.
"Only a divines blessing in the form of a title could do something like this, he must be a faithful believer." I said as the all looked at him. All of them surprised seeing as Mathew never looked like the most religious man.
"So Percy why did you decide to come back to the plains of grass? You seemed like you had it easy in the Sky Continent" Asked Selena as I smiled.
"A quest." I said simply as I picked out a few herbs and put them pushed them into my fake arms compartment. I like to call it my smoothie maker.
"A quest?" Zoe asked as I nodded.
"Yeah, it was for a much needed piece for my main weapon." I said as Zoe looked kind of disappointed as Selena looked slightly angry. I then slowly injected Mathew in several spots around his body.
"Selena can you go get a nurse and let them take over here. He will be fine now I will keep an eye on him for the next couple hours. Go do the stuff you need to." I said as she nodded and left the room with a flip of her tail as turned to Zoe.
"Don't worry about my arm, you have kept glancing at since we have seen each other." I said as her mouth opened but then closed as she glanced at Gaia and Athena.
"But…" She said in a cute tone as Gaia smiled as she scooted over to the water nymph.
"Don't worry it happened at least a year ago, he is over it and there is no longer hand pain. So Zoe I presume you have a lot to ask about." She said as she nodded.
For the next 15 minutes she asked away as the three of us did our best to answer here. Everything from her memories coming back and our as well. After a while Zoe was all out of questions as she blushed lightly.
"So I'm your soulmate?" She asked me as I nodded.
"I know your past life as a hunter doesn't really work with this…" I said as she nodded but then smiled a little as well.
"Well… you might not know this but I kind of had a crush on you in my past life. Not only that but you seemed to have worked your way into my heart in this life as well." She said with a smile as Gaia squealed like a little girl.
"You like him!" She said as Zoe punched her in the side as Gaia which made her collapse, she was down for the count. But a blush crossed Zoe's face after she punched her.
"Shut up don't you think I know that!? Can't you be more like Athena? Besides its not like I had a choice!" She said angrily as Athena laughed a little.
"Seems you got yourself a tsundere soulmate Percy." She said as Zoe blushed harder.
"Well I am at least happy it is you I am a soulmate with." She said in an angry tone crossing her chest and turning her head as her current life's personality took over. Dang she was a tsundere… lucky!
"Wait so you're okay with this?" I asked Zoe as she glanced at me.
"For now, so what number am I?" She asked as I held up 4 fingers as she did a quick count of the people in the room.
"Then who are we missing?" She asked me as I smiled.
"Bianca." I said as she seemed surprised as she thought for a second.
"The daughter of Hades that was a hunter for a short while?" She asked me as I nodded.
"Hmm…" With that sound I was punched in the side as I felt my kidney explode in a dull pain.
"That's what you get for a being a soulmate with a hunter." She said angrily as I looked at her with a helpless expression.
"But aren't you a hunter?" I asked her as she just stared at me with a dull expression.
"…No comment." She said as I felt more helpless.
"Hehe. Then you won't like to hear what I have to say, Artemis is one of Percy's destined soulmates as well. We have met her but the connection hasn't been made yet, her memories won't return it is made." Said Gaia as Zoe's stare at me only intensified.
"Oh? Who is she in her second life? Please do tell." She said as I gulped a little. Why were women so scary?
"It is Selena, she is Artemis." Said Athena with a shrug as Zoe stopped and thought for a second.
"Oh? Interesting…" She said with a devilish smile.
"Anyways I am glad we could talk and I am happy you are here." She said with a light sigh as I nodded. I am just happy she was so quick to accept it. That makes one spirit, one dark elf, one angel, and now a water nymph. The harem is slowly growing not that I am complaining.
"So what now?" She asked me.
"First I'm going to finish my quest then talk to that Demetri guy. Afterwards when the attack starts again I'm going to deal with that empowered." I said as she nodded.
"Then what?" She asked me as I smiled.
"Well I would like to spend some time with my wonderful soulmates." I said as she blushed.
"I've been around you enough already so I'm good." She said as I smirked.
"I don't know, Gaia and Athena can't seem to get enough of me when were together." I said, in the next minute I was punched several times by 3 angry and blushing women. Walking out of the room with a slightly bruised eye I sighed in defeat. Leaving the angry Zoe to Athena and Gaia I began to wonder around until I spotted the crystal tower as I felt a pulling sensation from the blade on my back.
"So it is there." I said with a devilish smile.
'Darkness how's recon?' I asked as a the small wolf that only came up to my knee came out of shadow and rubbed up against me.
'Clear.' A cheerful child's voice filled my head as I nodded.
'Silver and Darkness. Both of you keep in touch with Gaia and remain here. I will be going on my own.' I said as a large silver needle hawk appeared out of nowhere from my pet dimension and nodded. In a second she shrunk down to a normal sized hawk and perched by a windowsill by the room. Darkness simply disappeared into the darkness leaving nothing behind.
"Phase shifter transformation." I said my body began to change instantly.
Within seconds a long fluffy black tail and two black ears with white fur on the inside had grown out of me. As well as my height reached a staggering 7 feet tall, my body also compressed itself giving it an elf like look. My vision then shifted as my two eyes were turned into four lightning bolt shaped eyes that stacked on top of one another. With that my hair grew messy and even darker as well. Finally with all this came the feeling of passiveness and listlessness as my presence seemed too disappeared into nothing.
"Good, it has been while since I have used this form." I said as I felt my body explode with power. This toned body felt so powerful it was unreal. Yet I remained passive since I was so used to the effects of my transformations. With one step I became like a chameleon as my skin shimmered and turned me almost invisible as I activated one of my abilities.
Alert! [Melding/Dimension form/Shadow walk are all activated! -1011 MP drained every second! If you are attacked your invisibility will disappear but other skills will remain.]
A short announcement and I was off like a shadow with one destination in mind. The crystal tower. Let's see that this growth weapon that I planned to make the strongest ever had in store for me.
AN: From now on I am doing 5-6 thousand words long and 7000 if I'm feeling good. Anyways feel free to review as you wish.
Official Harem as of now: Gaia (world spirit), Artemis (Lamia), Zoe (Water nymph), Bianca (dark elf), Athena (Grey winged Angel), Chaos, Hestia, Piper, Hera, Khione, and Thalia.
