A/N: So, this is a very important notice and I want everyone to read it.

There might not be a chapter next week.

Now, this is not because I'm a lazy bastard(because I am but I would force myself to write a chapter if I needed to).

No, the reason there's not going to be a chapter is because of the fact for the past 3 weeks, I've either been having a very bad cold or very bad flu. Not sure which yet.

Even when I was writing the new chapter for The Unholy Wolf as the chapter for Arctic Trident, my mind felt sluggish as hell and it feels as if my body is in constant pain, but I forced myself to finish the chapters.

However, I will be going to the doctor on Monday(which is tomorrow since it's sunday midnight here where I live) and I'm fairly certain they're going to tell me to take the week off and rest my mind and body.

That's the reason for this A/N. Don't worry as that means I'll be doing a double update the week after that for both stories, but yeah.

If I don't upload, I probably felt far too sick to even think of beginning the new chapter.

Anyway, let me not keep you guys up any longer and let the chapter…BEGIN!

"W-w-where…where…am I?" I groaned as I slowly sat upright, feeling pain in every muscle of my body as I stood up on shaky legs before looking around.

"You're looking in the wrong direction, young Theseus." An elderly voice wheezed from behind and I swiftly turned around, my eyes widening at the amused gazes aimed at me.

"What…the hell?" I muttered as I stared at fifteen men of all ages, the youngest being just a few years younger than me while the oldest looked to be over 80 years old. The surprising part was that all fifteen looked exactly like me.

"It is a surprise to see that it took us 16 lives before we finally managed to pass the trials." One of the clones that looked a few years older than I was said with a smile, the rest nodding along with his words before everyone clicked.

"So…you are my past lives?" I asked, all nodding as the youngest spoke.

"Yep! I'm your 15th and previous life, Theseus."

"And I'm your first. The original Theseus." The oldest said with a smile, making me nod slowly before I remembered what happened.

"Wait! Shouldn't I be-!"

"In the Underworld? Yes, your physical body is there while you, as your soul, is in Limbo, the space between Life and Death."

"And why is that?" I asked, to which they all smiled.

"With your ascension to Godhood and by shattering the Heart of the Sea at the end of the final trial, the accumulated power of all 15 of your previous lives were awakened and will be given to you to use at your disposal."

"Wait, what?!" I exclaimed in shock, all of them chuckling as the oldest continued speaking.

"It's a shock, I know. With your ascension, you basically shattered the cycle of reincarnation of Theseus, meaning that you, Theodore, are the last and final reincarnation of the Greek Demigod Theseus." That made my eyes widen before I frowned.

"Then why are you giving me your power?" I asked, to which they all turned to the one Theseus who seemed to be in his prime as he smiled.

"We were going to just leave and be granted entry to Elysium thanks to the heroic deeds we did in our past lives, but then we decided against it. Elysium would be too boring for all fifteen of us as we are the demigod sons of Poseidon and as he's always told us..."

" 'The ocean cannot be contained nor can it be tamed. You can just move out of the way and let it do its own thing.'" All sixteen of us chorused in unison, smiling broadly before I chuckled and nodded.

"Fine. I thank you for giving me your powers and I vow to live up to the name Theseus to the best of my capabilities."

"That is all we ask. Go become a God and make sure to do the same 'Theseus' proud." First said with a smile as he held out a fist, all of us walking to stand in a circle as we placed our hands on top of each other.

A bright sea-green glow enveloped our hands and then our bodies as they all slowly faded away and I closed my eyes.

"I will." I muttered and I could feel a rush of energy flooding into my body before I felt my body being sent flying through space.

River bank of Styx, Underworld:

A few seconds later:

3rd Person POV:

"Come on, kid. You almost got it." Oceanus muttered under his breath as he gripped his spear tightly, not missing Poseidon and Khione teleporting in next to him as he knew that the two would not be able to keep away.

The duo didn't say anything as all three just kept staring out into the middle of the River Styx, where Theo was lying still on the rapid flowing water of Styx before their eyes widened as his eyes snapped open.

"Yes!" Oceanus cheered with a grin, Poseidon and Khione letting out relieved sighs before their eyes widened as a moss-green aura covered Theo's form.

"Uh, I think we should step back." Poseidon said with a shaky smile, the Goddess and Titan nodding along with his words as they stepped back as far as they could, just in time for all hell to break loose.

The river of Styx was split in half from river bank to river bank, a chilling cold ripping through the entirety of the Underworld as hail rained down onto the ground.

"Is this supposed to happen?!" Khione shouted at Oceanus, who didn't say anything as he narrowed his eyes at Theo before his eyes widened as the ground under them began to quake and the waters of Acheron, Lethe, Cocytus and Phlegethon appeared form thin air before flooding in the gap.

"Theseus! If you can hear me, retract your aura now!" Poseidon shouted at Theo, who was just staring into empty space before Oceanus groaned as light blue cracks appeared in the air around him.

The cracks spread rapidly through the air, causing anything it touched to vibrate at such speeds that their forms slowly began to break down. Souls wailed in pain as they were slowly being erased from existence and Poseidon frowned before he crouched.

With a leap, he was gone from his position, appearing in front of Theo with a quake-coated fist pulled back before he swung it at his son. His eyes then widened as Theo dodged out of the way before he felt time around him slow down to a snail's crawl.

Flexing the full brunt of his aura, he was just in time to dodge a barrage of quake fists from Theo, but that just made him unaware of the quake foot smashing into his chest and sending him barrelling through the air and cratering the ground besides Khione and Oceanus.

Khione snapped her fingers as she froze Theo in time over and over, her eyes widening as he broke out of the frozen time over and over again before he snarled as he turned to her.

In an instant, he held out his hand and a double-bladed sword appeeared in his grasp before he swung it and her eyes widened a tsunami of the magma waters of Phlegethon appeared in the air above her.

Oceanus frowned as he stomped his spear's butt on the ground and stop the waters from descending and with a wave of his spear, a torrent of icy cold water blasted towards the new God.

Theseus was not deterred as he punched the air in front of him with a quake fist, the space in front of warping and diverting the water away before he gasped as Poseidon appeared in front of him and landed a clean hook into his jaw.

That sent him ragdolling through the air, but Khione waved her hand and an avalanche appeared from thin air and smashed into his confused form, pushing him into the ground before burying him under tonnes and tonnes of snow.

"So, what now?" Poseidon asked before all three raised an eyebrow as the eyes was melted in an instant, the glowing form of Theo revealed as he glared at them before he gasped as he fell to his knees and the glow disappeared.

The groggy fledgeling god stood up to shaky feet before his eyes widened as he looked around and saw the destruction.

"Uh, what happened?" He asked, to which she just sighed as Poseidon rolled his eyes and Oceanus chuckled.

"You did, Theseus. You did all this when you awakened from the trial."

"Really?" He asked in surprise before he looked around, frowning as he saw the magma waters of Phlegethon, the chilly dark blue waters of Cocytus, the black and green waters of Lethe and the tar-like waters of Acheron.

"And before you ask, you were also the one who brought the water of the other Underworld rivers here." Oceanus explained, Theo frowning before he raised a hand.

The waters quickly condensed into small orbs, the River Styx melting and filling back up faster than he could blink before he snapped his fingers and the orbs disappeared.

"…Huh, didn't think that would happen." Theo said with wide eyes as he stared at his hands before looking up as Oceanus chuckled and nodded.

"That's what happens when one becomes a new God of the Sea, but I see that you're still having a bit of trouble with that." Theo nodded at that before Oceanus turned to Khione and Poseidon.

"I guess he's ready for Phase 2 of his training."

"Wait, there's a Phase 2?" Theo asked in surprise, Poseidon smiling as Khione giggled and Oceanus chuckled.

"You became a god. Now, it's time for you to learn how to stop fighting like a demigod and start fighting like an actual god." Theo grinned excitedly at that before he nodded, Oceanus smiling back as Khione and Poseidon walked to stand next to the two of them before they teleported out of the Underworld and back to his secluded island.

With Yasaka:

Yamamoto Manor, Neo-Kyoto:

"All of that experience and you can't even release one Zetten. Ah, I suppose not everyone can be Kurama." Tamamo muttered with a sigh, Yasaka grumbling under her breath before she yelped as Tamamo gave her a quick slap to the back of the head.

"You may be a mother but you're still not old enough to not get a slap."

"Well, excuse me, but I've been doing everything like you said and I can't release a single Zetten." Yasaka groaned, to which Tamamo just stared at her before she spoke.

"What do you envision when you release the Zetten?" She asked, Yasaka giving her a confused frown before she spoke.

"Envision the aura becoming concentrated and thin around my arm before swinging it forward while releasing the concentrated life energy in an explosive yet focused blast of ki." She explained and Tamamo just stared at her before she sighed.

"Emotion and reason, strength and weakness, intensity and tranquility. Only by following this path of duality, 'The Middle Way', will you be able to balance your spirit and release Zetten." She explained, Yasaka frowning before she turned to the training dummy in front of her.

"Close your eyes and take a deep breath." Yasaka sighed before she nodded as she closed her eyes.

"Imagine a calm picnic with Kurama, Kunou, the Valkyrie and this new guy you like, with no one there to bother you five on your little picnic." Yasaka smiled at the thought as she imagined the picnic, Tamamo noting the calm flow of her ki before she spoke.

"Now imagine someone taking the lives of those four in front of you." Here, a hint of bloodlust radiated off of her as she frowned, Tamamo smiling as she nodded.

"Now, imagine both of those scenarios at the same time while using the envisioning strategy that you used for Zetten." Yasaka did as she asked, the ground under her cracking slightly as a dense yet palpable golden aura formed around her body.

"Do not waver. Do not stop. Do not even think. Just use it." Taking a deep breath, Yasaka kept those thoughts in her head as she pulled her right arm back, ki and mana flowing from her body to her arm as she made a knife hand.

"Zetten!" Yasaka exclaimed as she swung her hand forward as hard as she could, Tamamo smiling proudly as an air blade nearly twice the size of the manor easily cleaved the training dummy in two and it was a miracle that their mansion was facing away from both Neo-Kyoto and Kyoto as the air blade continued to slash through space for a while until it finally whizzed out of existence a few hundred meters away from their home.

"And all it took you was a few days. Not as good as my day nor Kurama's few hours, but good enough." Tamamo said with a smile and a nod, Yasaka staring in shock at the destruction before she turned as Kurama and Kunou walked out onto the backyard.

"…Are you sure you're not training to take your leadership post back?" Kurama asked with a nervous smile, to which she just giggled as Kunou burst out laughing.

"Now, come, my darling who-knows-how-many great grandhcild. You learned how to release it. Now to learn how to use it in combat." Tamamo said with a smile as her own crimson ki covered her hand before she swung it, Yasaka's eyes widening before she ducked as a crimson air blade cleaved through the space where her head was and flew on towards the sky.

"You think I should help?" Kurama whispered to Kunou, who just raised an eyebrow at him before pointing to where the two ladies were now locked in close combat, Zetten clashing against Zetten as he smirked sheepishly.

"Yeah, better to let them fight it out." He said with a nod, making Kunou giggle as she shook her head at him before they both sat down and watched the battle.

At the same time:

Fields of Freyja, Asgard:

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

Explosion after explosion ripped through the sky as fireball clashed against fireball. A rock-avalanche was brought out of thin air before it was blocked and shredded to pieces by a tornado made of razor-shapr winds, a sea of water catching the pebbles before firing them rapidly back at their creator.

Rossweisse grunted as she waved her hand, a wand made out of a black wood and blue roses with thorny vine insignias on the sides grasped tightly in her hand before a large bolt of lightning was fired from the wand and ripped through the pebbles and water towards her opponent.

Gondul smiled proudly as she waved her own wand, which was also the same as hers, before a triple-layered shield appeared in front of her and absorbed the lightning, the three layers breaking off into individual shields before three lightning bolts were fired back at Rossweisse.

She just clicked her tongue before she waved her hand and pointed the tip at the ground, Gondul's smile widening and a cackle escaping her lips as black vines sprouted from the ground and created a barrier that completely insulated the lightning.

"Well done, barnabǫrn. Now, let's see your spirit magic." Rossweisse frowned before she nodded, gritting her teeth as she chanted under her breath.

"Let my call be answered. Come forth, Spirit of Storsjöodjuret!" A dense light blue mist fog flowed off of her wand, all of it condensing in front of her before it transformed into a gigantic fanged serpent, who hissed at Gondul before slithering forward. Gondul didn't say anything as she waved her wand, Rossweisse giving a defeated sigh as spikes made out rocks tore through her snake before a gigantic wolf head ripped the head off of her serpent.

"You give up too easy, barnabǫrn." Gondul said, to which Rossweisse just shrugged as she holstered her wand to her side.

"Continuing would have served no purpose. That and we both know it still takes me too much magic to even keep up that one serpent." Gondul just stared at her before she smiled and nodded as she put her wand away.

"Before you left, you would have been down in the dumps at losing. You've matured, dear barnabǫrn." Rossweisse just smiled before Gondul giggled and walked towards their home, Rossweisse following after her.

"Now, enough of the practicals. You wanted to become stronger, so now it's time to learn how to write seiz-style runes." Rossweisse just groaned at that as Gondul cackled at her misery.

In the Dimensional Gap:

Khaos Brigade Hideout:

"My brothers and I joined your organization to help us get back at the Olympians and reclaim our spots as the true gods. So, tell me Rizevim, why in my name are my brothers back in their seals?" Kronos asked softly as he sat in his chair, a palpable aura of malice radiating in the air around him and despite the carefree smirk on his face, Rizevim didn't joke around as he knew one wrong word would set off the Titan King in front of him.

"We did not think that Zeus, Amaterasu and Odin would take care of Lord Krios and Lord Koios by themselves." Euclid said from Rizevim's side only to fall to his knees with a gasp as Kronos focused the entirety of his aura on him.

"Your betters are talking, pest. Be quiet." Kronos said with a frown before turning back to the smirking Rizevim, Euclid taking deep shaky breaths as Rizevim spoke.

"Like my right hand man said, we didn't think the other chief gods would interfere with the plan, but then again, we should have seen it coming."

"How do you expect to fix this mistake, Rizevim?" Kronos asked, to which Rizevim just chuckled before he grinned maniacally.

"The representatives of the Greco-Norse-Shinto alliance are no longer in that Kuoh Town and the devil heiresses are heading back to the Underworld for a gathering of the Three Factions. They seem to think that we are still gathering our forces, so why not strike when the iron is still hot." Kronos frowned at that before he spoke.

"And who is is going to strike this 'hot iron' for you?"

"Who else but us, dearest father?" Kronos' eyes widened as he heard a familiar voice behind him, quickly jumping to his feet and turning around as a familiar lich walked out of the shadows with a smirk, an ebony bident grasped tightly in his right hand.

"Well, if it isn't my oldest son. I must say you are a revolting sight for these old eyes."

"The same to you, cock sucker." Hades fired back, Kronos frowning before the door to the meeting room opened and he raised an eyebrow at the two people walking through.

"I suppose these two are also in on this plan?" Kronos asked Rizevim as two men walked in.

One was a young, handsome man with a sinister smirk, his yellow eyes glowing with a hint of insanity and long gray hair floating behind him like a tail with two bangs that hung to his chest. He was dressed in a long black cloak that hid his form from view.

The second was an elderly man hunched over with the entire left side of his face covered in extreme burn scars. He was dressed in a dark blue kimono and black hakama pants with a katana sheathed at his right side, but his right sleeve was hanging loosely at his side and poking out the bottom of his right pant leg.

"I do not see why I, the great trickster Loki, have to work with these other god when I alone am capable enough." Loki said with a frown, to which Hades just scoffed.

"Your record of losses speaks for itself, Loki." Susano'o said with a frown, to which Loki just gave him a mocking smirk.

"You really want to talk about losses with your decrepit body, Susano'o?" Susano'o growled at his words as he reached for his katana, a pair of daggers appearing in Loki's hands as he smirked before they both were stopped as Hades released his aura.

"Now, remember children. No fighting amongst each other." Rizevim said with a smirk, Loki and Susano'o scoffing as they put their weapons away and Hades retracted his aura.

"So, this is your 'great team' that will destroy Kuoh?" Kronos asked with a raised eyebrow and Rizevim chuckled as he nodded.

"Yes and while they're attacking Kuoh, you and I will be heading to Olympus to get your brothers back and take down a few gods while we're at it."

"And you have the heart to actually try and hurt your brothers, little skeleton?" Kronos asked Hades with a mocking smirk and Hades just scoffed.

"I'll let my actions speak for itself. After all, I am actually capable of winning my battles unlike a certain someone." Kronos just glared at his eldest son before he scoffed and walked out, the others watching him leave before Rizevim spoke.

"Remember the plan. The Red Dragon Emperor and the True Longinus wielder should still be in Kuoh, so you must first take them out and then destroy the town."

"You do not order me, filth." Loki said with a frown before he walked out, Susano'o following him out as Hades sunk back into the shadows.

"Here's to hoping they kill each other while they're out there." Rizevim muttered to himself as he walked out of the room, a silent Euclid following after him.
