Hogwarts watching the multiverse
They all saw a red-haired boy who was about to be attacked by a man with blue hair and a peculiar clothing of the same color, who wore a red spear that gave off a sense of power while they were inside a garage or small warehouse before a runic circle glowed on the ground and a blonde girl with green eyes dressed in a kind of medieval dress-armor saved him
"Is it a joke?!" exclaimed many including Artemis before the appearance of the girl who showed incredible skill in combat just like the blue-haired man.
However, for Artemis's twin, some of the appearances that several of the individuals seen had, such as the peculiar hair colors or women with animal features, caused him emotion due to the resemblance to certain aspects that he likes about Japan, but they also confused him quite a bit
"Are... are some authors are oracles or do they see other worlds?"
"What did you say Apollo?" Hermes asked his half-brother after hearing the archer god mutter something that the messenger god didn't understand
"Huh?... Nothing... I think," Apollo replied, but not really sure
Only the primordial goddess of destiny knew that a certain red-haired girl among the spectators was comparing the appearances of some of the individuals she had seen with some of the paintings or drawings she had made and this same girl also thought that several of those drawings she made included the son of Poseidon who had been shown before
"Others do it for survival"
Ananke again changed the visions he showed to those present in the Olympic council room, when they saw an army of humans using more advanced technology than mortals have today, being combat exosuits fighting against what looked like machines before changing to show a navy ship firing at a strange ship that had two connected platforms from which large shots were shot pillars of energy to the sky.
"Aliens?" several questioned or exclaimed at the advanced appearance of the ship against which the navy ship was fighting
As for Hephaestus, his sons, and several others, while they were amazed at the advanced machines they saw and were interested in how humans could create such a thing, they were even more surprised by the death and destruction they saw they were causing, as were the rest of the spectators
Then the Ananke changed the vision again to show them a giant robot fighting in a city in Japan against a huge monster, creating quite a bit of collateral destruction in the city.
"What the fuck are those things?!" exclaimed several of those present when they saw a military installation where many soldiers with more advanced weaponry than today, but were shooting at black humanoid beings, who seemed to be between two and three meters tall, in addition to having long tails and oblong heads.
But despite the weaponry the soldiers had, they were quickly being slaughtered by these creatures
The disbelief of the gods, half-bloods, legates and others present only grew once again in the face of the various beings that mortals faced, while the primordial goddess Ananke continued to show various events in various universes where more advanced and dangerous wars were being fought, with weapons more dangerous than those they have known until now, which would undoubtedly be a great danger to both mortals and half-bloods.
Although several such as Chiron or Athena carefully noted that in the visions that the primordial goddess showed them, humans were much more advanced than most would think or imagine, since they had seen brief and very fleeting glimpses where the fights that humans had were not in military bases as they thought or some kind of installation, they were spaceships.
Athena, like Hephaestus, were really amazed at what humans accomplished in other universes and perhaps could accomplish in this one.
Others, on the other hand, clung to denial of what mortals could achieve, as was the case of Hera or Zeus., but others were pleased as was the case of Ares and Mars who thought that today mortals were becoming too weak in mind, body and will due to various current ideologies about peace, tolerance, good o evil, among other things such as the fact that they cling to seeing the world in black and white. So they were pleased to see that because they were pleased to see that there were still soldiers and warriors somewhere or there would be.
"But there are also those who do something good without wanting to, without having the intention of doing it. Just as there are those who have done it through questionable means or acts that today's mortals would consider most deplorable, acts of murderers, monsters and other individuals or beings that present-day humanity would call in similar ways" Ananke's voice brought everyone out of their amazement, fear, denial, disbelief, and other emotions that they had when they saw those mortals.
Although when they thought back to what she said, those words generated many skeptics, even more than the previous words spoken by the primordial goddess, how could anyone do good, by doing such acts?...
With the huntresses, mortals and the youngest demigods or with the rigid ideologies of the modern world, being the most skeptical of all those present in the throne room.
On the other hand, those who thought to help Kronos and other titans thought for a brief moment that perhaps they had been right that the Titan king would be better than the reign of Zeus, but the next instant they remembered the words Ananke said earlier, due to her making them remember them because of how stubborn they were in letting their judgment cloud once again
"As mortals say... some of them are because they made a deal with the devil."
The image changed to show a man dressed as a motorcyclist walking towards a motorcycle with flames in its paint, which was waiting for him on a lonely street in the middle of the night
The deities and some others frowned at the motorcycle, feeling or seeing as in the case of the gods of the underworld that there was something else in the motorcycle, something that made them uncomfortable
But for them and the rest they saw that the man then looked down at a part of the street before saying
"You"
Everyone could hear the anger and hatred in the motorcyclist's voice before the Ananke showed them who he was watching
"Hello, Johnny," An old man who no one recognized greeted walking with a staff in the shape of a skull on his hilt, but when they saw him, everyone including the gods and three titans in the room was on guard, alarming them a lot, filling them with fear or making them want to flee from where they was
"Get away from me!" said Johnny as the old man approached
"It's a bit late for that..." said the old man before looking at the vehicle "... Nice bike... yes... it'll work..." As he spoke, the motorcyclist circled the motorcycle so that it was between him and the old man. "...I've always been here, Johnny..." from the beginning... Phoenix... Denver... Houston..."
"It was you, the one who kept me alive"
"Who is he?" many gods wondered aloud before the old man on screen that he was undoubtedly not a mortal, nor a demigod, but unlike other times they did not feel anything from him, because Ananke did not allow them to feel him and even so just seeing the old man alarmed them.
Only the gods of the underworld because of their own domains could see something else when they saw the old man, but they could not recognize exactly what it was, but what they saw in the old man seemed to them something as twisted and dark as the entrance to the Tartarus that is in the underworld or perhaps even more. But he had also seen something very strange in the mortal, his soul seemed to be both in him and they could also see that his soul seemed to be somehow linked to the old man
"No... no... Johnny... It was you... You are the best... and I'm your admirer," said the old man as he circled the motorcycle to get closer to the aforementioned, but he kept moving to keep the motorcycle between him and the old man
"He's playing with him," several thought or said when they saw the old man's actions and the biker's reaction, but a few others also thought that "As if he was trying to manipulate him, but in reality he's not doing it... as if he didn't need to."
And those who thought they would help Kronos with the sensations they felt just by seeing whatever the old man really is made them think seriously about Kronos, especially Luke, more so with what the biker said about the old man keeping him alive.
"The posters... video games... the crowds cheering..." said the old man as he continued to approach the man, who, seeing that he did not stop doing so, stopped keeping his distance from him while he only looked at him with hatred and fury "Shouting... Johnny... Johnny... Johnny..."
"AAAHHHH!" screamed all the mortals, half-breeds of the current era, huntresses, the few Amazons and some of the gods in the room when they saw that when the old man approached the biker's ear and at the moment of saying his name for the last time... the half of his face changed to something terrifying and indescribable
In another situation Zeus, Hera, and several other deities would have been upset with those gods who were frightened and screamed at the sight of a monster or would have mocked them, but whatever the old man was, it also affected them
For example, the former Queen of the Titans and her eldest daughter had serious difficulty in letting their power flow over the half-breeds and mortals in the throne room, so many of them fainted or were having attacks of terror.
The only half-breeds who were not terrified as the vast majority did, were the descendants of Poseidon born millennia ago, but they were apprehensive and each by reflex, took their hands to where the weapons used to be on their person that they once used, only to remember that they did not have them, except for the son of Medusa who drew his enchanted golden sword.
"I'm... very proud" said the monster disguised as an old man as he moved away from the man and went around the motorcycle again. "It's like... seeing an investment that keeps growing... and growing... until the day you cash it in... That day has come, Johnny"
As it was, very few paid attention to the fact that the mortal in Ananke's vision showed no fear, only hatred and fury.
"Find the one known as the Blackheart," said the monster, "and destroy him."
"You look for him!" Johnny refused before getting on the motorcycle to leave there
"It doesn't work like that" said the fake old man, while the motorcyclist realized that he couldn't move his hands from the handlebars, his feet from the footrests, or his body from the seat.
"What?" said Johnny before his inability to get off the motorcycle. "Let me go!"
"If you succeed... I will give you back your soul..."
"I'm not going to," Johnny replied, still refusing to do what the dark being wants of him
"You have no alternative," was what Johnny heard before hearing the tip of the cane hit the ground and the motorcycle being thrown at a great speed that only grew and grew
Although Hades and other death-related deities understood better why the mortal was under the control of that being, they, like everyone else except Ananke, were greatly alarmed as they watched the man go through the city at an ever-increasing speed that should not be possible. Then the wife of the primordial of time changed the vision to show them various moments of a burning skeleton in biker clothes fighting horrible monsters, killing and incinerating robbers, rapists, murderers and several other mortals
"Your soul is stained with the blood of the innocent," Everyone heard the burning skeleton speak as they saw him from behind holding a man who began screaming as he was burned from the inside
No one understood exactly what happened, even more so because they were surprised as they watched from the back of the skeleton and the criminal was burned from within, but very few like Hades, Poseidon, Oceanus and others realized that the fire seemed to originate in the eyes of the mortal
"Others for revenge," Ananke said as she changed the image to show various criminals from the mortal world being killed
The criminals killed varied quite a bit, but the various members of all the spectators could distinguish gang members, hitmen, corrupt individuals, gangsters, pimps, and drug dealers who were murdered by a same man, who used military-grade weaponry and on the black bulletproof vest he wears, a white skull was painted.
But even though the change brought out their amazement or rather freed them from the fear, dread or terror they felt before just by seeing the monster disguised as an old man, it was not a pleasant sight to see all the corpses that were left by that man with a skull painted on his clothing
And when the image changed again, they still had the same emotions as with that mortal
Because now they saw a well-dressed man in a formal suit, killing various individuals with weapons, mainly guns in nightclubs, a high society building, a hotel, mechanic shops, on the streets of New York and many other places
Emily Zhang who was covering her son's eyes for quite some time now, part of her was thinking that in order to serve her country or society she didn't need to have joined the army, as there were more problems than anyone thought within the cities with what everyone was seeing, along with other thoughts in her mind... but she had to put them aside when she heard something hit the floor, so she looked next to her only to see that the man who was near her and her son, had fainted as had his daughter, although the girl had already fainted in her father's arms a while ago.
So the descendant of Poseidon approached them to help them, but at the same time prevented her son Frank from looking at the screen.
"Or they're just willing to get their hands dirty when they have to," Ananke said
The primordial goddess once again changed the vision to show a man wearing a red helmet, a jacket over a kind of tactical suit that had the silhouette of a red bat painted on his chest...
—|—|—|—|—|—| —|—|—
Faced with the skepticism and disbelief of various individuals present in the throne room of the members of the Olympic Council, the primordial goddess again shows them brief glimpses of exceptional individuals, as well as telling them some of the reasons why some of them do what they do or are who they are.
Future individuals to watch: John Wick, Hawkeye, Batman, Superman, Black Widow, etc.
