In the corner of a nursery at the Potter's cottage out of everyone's sight. 3 deities were hiding within its shadows, waiting patiently for their objective to arrive.
"Are you two sure about this?" one of them asked
"Yes Hel, if we want to achieve the unity of our three domains and end the eternal war we have to. I don't like it; they are such a lovely family. But our cousin fate decided that the three of them were going to die tonight, so that makes this child our best bet." The one known as Talis replied. "He will be the one to carry the three of our blessings. The bringer of life and death, the one with the power to command the legions in hell, the divines in heaven and the one to rise and control the souls of the dead."
"Are you sure that just our blessings are enough? I mean, He will be facing the different pantheons sooner or later and we aren't the only ones with any say on our domains, he'll have to fight Shiva, hades, the Christian goddess, Alia, all of their allies, all of our enemies and also his enemies."
"Ab, first of all, he won't be facing them alone, we will help him in some other way. We cannot help him directly because that'd blow our cover. But that doesn't mean that we can't "guide him" to be our ally. Second; they are all busy fighting each other. So unless he does something to catch their attention, they should leave him alone until he is strong enough to start fighting. And last but not least he is bound to inherit some of our wisdom." With a huff and a roll of her eyes she then glared at the other two. "seriously why are you doubting now? We've been planning this for 3 hours. We do the "soul adoption" ritual that I found and modified in a book that I borrowed from a hidden vault in my last raid to Osiris's lair. He gets to live, our power, some of our knowledge and wisdom, and then since he is the biological son of people with magic he'll go to a magic school which is the perfect cover for a child with powers. And after some years of training, when he is ready, we go and say "surprise kid you are some sort of god and we need you to end a war that some assholes started millennia ago. Would you help? Yes? Thank you." It's not that difficult, indeed, it is one of the best plans that I've ever come up with." Puffing her chest with pride and lifting her chin, Hel ended her ranting and waited in silence with her friends.
After some minutes the mother of their future heir comes into the nursery to lay her child to sleep.
"sleep well son, soon this war will end and we'll show you the wonders that the world has to offer beyond the walls of this place" Kissing her son on the forehead and smiling softly the woman known as lily left the room.
"She's such a dear, pity my cousin's a bitch." The regal-looking brunette said with a little bit of remorse.
"She reminds me of Lilith, but without the being a whore reputation. She always treated her children with love and raised them as well as she could."
"Yeah, she kinda gives Lilith vibes but doesn't smell like her. Lilith smelled like pheromones all day due to her nature, which combined with her poor choice of husbands didn't do any good to her reputation. Her not smelling like Lilith or a succubus is good. Imagine if the child that's going to be a god of life and fertility had the sexual drive of a succubus. "Ab said with a chuckle.
"For all that is holy please no. there are still some sex and lust-driven races walking the earth. It'll be like a breeding factory for demigods, gods, and whatnot." Hel started to shake her head imagining the rebirth of some ancient races and the creation of new ones. After all, the reason why deities don't have half-breed children, especially with humans, is because it usually ends up in the creation of some new race, which in turn ends up in the creation of more new races when said races breed with each other. The last time it happened was at the beginning of time and new races keep appearing thanks to that until five hundred years ago. No, we don't need another thing like that happening, the amount of paperwork to register them and the time that figuring out what can they do or what they are took was immense.
"His parents are downstairs and it sounds like they are in the making of another child. My me, humans do like sex, that's the reason why they kept creating new races. They see a hole and they cum in it." The three of them laughed wholeheartedly.
"Let's get over with this creating a god experiment before I get bored and join the two lovebirds downstairs."
Whit that being said they started the soul adoption ritual. First, they had to each give him their blessing individually, and then they'll make him drink a potion that has his blood, that of the adopting deities, and some other holy and unholy ingredients. After adding his blood to the potions they started.
"Let me go first" the black-haired beauty got close to the crib where Harry lay peacefully sleeping. "I, Anubis, the one that rules over death, the one that is above law and protects the earth in which lay those who a give repose. Give this child my blessing. Choose to share the knowledge and part of the power that I possess over my domains with him, so he can be above the rest of his kind on earth and so he can represent me and those who worship me across the earth and rule over those who oppose him. So mote it be." After that she made the child drink the potion and after a minute of waiting with nothing happening Hel got close to Harry and said
"I, Hel, the one that rules over the dead, the one that can both bless and condemn the souls of those who live no more and command them at will. Give this child my blessing. Choose to share the knowledge and part of the power that I possess over my domains with him, so he can be above the rest of his kind on earth and so he can represent me and those who worship me across the earth and rule over those who oppose him. So mote it be." She too gave him the potion and let the blonde finish the job.
"I, Coatlicue, the one that brings life and death, the one that has the say in when a soul is no more and when It goes on, and the one that blesses the wombs of women whit the fruit of life. . Give this child my blessing. Choose to share the knowledge and part of the power that I possess over my domains with him, so he can be above the rest of his kind on earth and so he can represent me and those who worship me across the earth and rule over those who oppose him. So mote it be." Giving him the final dose of the potion the three of them stood at the side of the crib looking at their new child.
"Well, this is kind of anticlimactic. I kind of expected something more like lights flashing or the sensation of an overwhelming power coming from the child but nothing happens." Said Hel with a huff.
"Maybe we did something wrong. Let me try something. "Writing something on a paper and then giving it to the other two she said. "Let's say this together. It gives the ritual some sort of closure so it should work." At the nod of the other two she counted to three and they started to finish the ritual.
"By willingly giving our blood and blessing, we declare thee of our kind, we declare thee one of our soul and one of our blood. By willingly giving thee our blood and blessing we give a part of our soul and we declare thee one of our own. So mote it be." As soon as they finished saying those words a bone-shattering pressure assaulted them, bringing them to their knees. This pressure continued its onslaught for three minutes before suddenly disappearing.
"Shit, that was what I was talking about." Hel said laughing maniacally.
"I think this is what people call "overkill." If it wasn't because we are deities I think we would've died."
"Now that I think about it how is he going to train in his domains and subdomains if no one is here to teach him, I don't think that they teach the sacred arts here on earth." Asked Talis
"Hmm, good question. He's British so he'll go to Hogwarts, and I remember taking sally as my apprentice. Perhaps I can convince him to make him his heir so we can hide books teaching about his domains in his vault. The vaults of the founders of Hogwarts are the safest place on the earth after Avalon and other hidden places. They could obliterate the bank but not even we can open those vaults, I filled them with a lot of curses, traps, and a lot of shit as a graduation gift to him." Hel suggested tapping her chin with her left index.
"Maybe you could talk to the four of them and convince them to unite their vaults, so he not only has access to our books and your apprentice's but also to the knowledge of the other three. That would definitely put him ahead and above his peers" Talis offered with a somehow greedy look in her eyes.
Understanding that look perfectly, Ab finished her thoughts. "We can make him the heir of the four of them so he owns Hogwarts." The only thing that deities love more than their friends and followers is power and seeing how powerful their child could be was turning them all on.
"Yes let's do that tomorrow. Also, how do we know in which domains and subdomains he has any ruling over? Aside from ours that is, the mix of them should be pretty curious also there's the random factor that Loki cursed us all in one of his mischievous moods."
"Oh yeah, there's that. One random domain for every one of the mother's domains. He has three mothers with more than 2 domains each"
"Plus whatever the mix of ours gives him domain over"
"And it can be even more, I mean, with how long his parents are taking to even take a break and his mother's resemblance with Lilith, It wouldn't surprise me if he has anything to do with lust and breeding." The three of them looked at Harry with power-lust-filled eyes for longer than it was healthy before Hel broke the silence.
"Well, we will have to just leave him books on every sacred art and hope that he discovers which ones he has the ones he doesn't, oh and a list with the ones that he for sure has. Let's just go and celebrate a job well done."
"I expect the two of you to be in my room in 30 minutes. My body is still suffering from the effects of the power assault and I need you to help me get some release." That was the only thing that was said before the three deities left the room to celebrate their success with a night full of unholy activities.
What they didn't know is that the birth of the new deity was felt across every pantheon and every battlefield, making them all stop their current activities immediately to try and decipher where such a powerful aura was coming from. Thankfully for harry, the wards surrounding the Potter cottage prevented them from knowing where it was located. Only a few beings across the world could tell that at least it was coming from the UK. Being as bloodthirsty as gods usually are they ignored it and continued the battle with renewed vigour due to the arrival of a new challenger.
Somewhere in France, fate was sleeping peacefully; completely ignorant to the fact that one of her prophecies had just shattered.
