10 Answers and Help

After answering all of Hestia's questions, a few hours had already passed. Most of her questions were about how I've been living, how I was able to do all of this and how I could affect her and other things. Honestly, I was tired and already had a slight headache just after hearing her 20 plus questions. That's when I lost track.

Instead of asking her to repeat anything I tried, I answered them all the best I could, simply explaining everything I did during the fall and after. Training my divinities, explaining what those are and what mine are specifically, leaving out my devouring divinity, I plan to tell no one about it. I just told her I was born with all these divinities but they were very weak and I had to train them. I passed of my knife as something I conjured with my ease divinity, which wasn't a complete lie, I could conjure weapons but they are nothing compared to the |Ancient Carving Knife|. I passed off my storage as a small person space I developed with my space/time divinity, i could probably do this but there is no point yet. When I do create my own pocket dimension, I want it to be large enough to live in and habitable, something I am still unable to do.

After explaining my entire experience down here leaving out the system and devouring, I could notice that she was a bit jealous of the fact I did not need to eat but after also saying that the same should be true to her as long as I cover her in my divinity she instantly cheered up. I then asked her about her experience so far and she told me, occasionally shedding some tears in the beginning and shaking when remembering the constant pain. I then led her inside the cave so she could get some rest. When she laid down I went to the other side to sit against the wall.

'Oracle please use observation on Hestia.'

'Yes Hades'

—————————————————————

Name: Hestia

Power lvl: (peak) god

Divinity: hearth

—————————————————————

'Ok, that's really good already. Oracle did she train them all at the same time like I think.'

'Yes, she did it unknowingly, most likely because they are all so similar, she subconsciously made a connection between them, most likely in the fantasies she mentioned.'

'Oh ok, so could she combined her divinities into one with enough training how she does?'

'Well, it's possible but all the involved divinities need to be A level and the process is similar to when you organize your divinities. The hardest part is that you will need to locate the part of your soul that holds your divinity, then go there. It is a very difficult thing for most people. At the rate she is going she will eventually have to do this as well, if she can't it will 'cripple' her in a way. Even though she will be considered peak godking level she would be far weaker than others of the same level. So much so that a normal god could match her and a peak god could overpower her.'

'Cool, I'll keep that in mind, are there any tips you can give me to help her out when the time comes?'

'Yes, Hades but it isn't much. For her the process should be straightforward because all of her divinities are going to progress to A level at the same time because of her training methods. All she will need to do is instead of organizing them, she must use her will to combine and merge them.'

'Haha, thanks Oracle.'

I decide to take a nap as well, then I'll train for a while and maybe help Hestia train a little.

After waking up a few hours later, I noticed that Hestia was now awake, laying near me, just within arms reach, staring at me with her hazel- orange eyes. They were gorgeous, so gorgeous that I was lost looking into them for some seconds before I gathered my thoughts.

"Hello Hestia, how did you rest?"

I decided to ignore her invasion of my personal space and greeted her. She responded in kind at first but I guess she felt the need to explain and as she did she got more and more embarrassed.

"I rested well for a while brother …but after I woke up, I saw you sleeping and came to wake you to ask a few more questions but then I noticed how warm you are. It's a lot different from how my warmth makes me feel. It's very comforting so I just lay next to you. …I only happened to start looking at you when I noticed you waking."

She said the last part in a small voice, barley above a whisper, clearly embarrassed and nervous as to how I would respond. I decided to ease her worries

"Ah it's ok sis, you can always get a hug or stay close to me if that's what you want. I was going to do some training, you can join me and ask your questions if you want."

I stood up as I spoke, trying to sound as inviting as I could, then held out a hand to Hestia. She only took a second to come to an answer and took my hand while standing up. It's not like there's anything else to be done here besides training or wasting time sleeping.

As we made our way out of the cave I asked Hestia if she wanted me to give her some pointers on how to train her divinities which she happily accepted. After thinking back to what I spoke to Oracle about, I think it would be more beneficial for her to get a better understanding of her divinities before anything else.

"Well sister, you know what your divinities are called but maybe you should look into more about what they really are and what they could do. This will also help in developing different skills and abilities with your divinities. For example your hearth divinity could give you fire control, teleportation, healing and maybe even a protection ability."

"Wow Hades, thank youuu, I'll start on this immediately! What will you do in this time brother?!"

"Well, I plan on training all my divinities to the next level. I'll start with death, then comfort and last I'll do space/time. My wealth and riches divinity is pretty useless here and can't be trained other than circulating it but as I have nothing to expend it on, the process will be incredibly slow and not worth the time."

"Ok and how will you train your death divinity brother?"

"Just like you I will first try to get a better understanding of my divinity to see if it can do more than what I already have in mind."

'There are a lot of different ways this could be used. If I can even get close to Death Embodiment I'll be a terrifying figure in this world. The only god of the geek pantheon able to kill immortals. Something only Chaos and if given enough time Tartarus and very few magic users could do. My siblings would definitely be scared of me then, unless me taking care of them overrules the fear, I can only hope.'

[A.N. For my novel the gods of the different pantheons have different kinds of immortality like in the Riordan universe but they will also all be killed in a few similar ways for my novel. Most of this is straight off Riordan wiki.

Ways for Greco-Roman Gods/other immortals to die in this universe:

Void of Chaos: Chaos is believed to be one of the few things able to truly kill an immortal (possibly by permanently absorbing their divine essence with it being impossible for it to ever escape), as Zeus held Hera over Chaos after her rebellion, threatening to drop her into the void.

Tartarus Essence Absorption: The infernal Lord of the Pit Tartarus has the ability to suck beings into the swirling whirlpool of darkness on his face, which he did to the immortal essence of Hyperion and Krios. In that sense, Tartarus can technically "kill" gods, Titans, and giants by absorbing their immortal essence into his armor for very lengthy periods of time.

Magic: According to Apollo, magic to destroy a god is entirely possible if they are powerful enough, provided their victims are weak enough to be overcome. Magic also can drain a god's power and immortality and granting it to someone else.

Immortality Revocation: Zeus has shown the ability to revoke the immortality of his fellow gods and turn them into mortals, having done this three times to Apollo. However, in Apollo's case, his powers appeared to be bound more than stripped as he still had bursts of godly power. In addition, when the Titaness Calypso left her prison island of Ogygia, she lost all of her powers, including her immortality, leaving Calypso as an ordinary mortal girl.

NOT SURE HOW THE ONE ABOVE WORKS. FOR THE SAKE OF MY NOVEL THIS IS HOW IT'LL GO. IF THEY HAVE HAD THEIR IMMORTALITY REVOKED, IF THEY COME UNDER A DIRE/ LIFE THREATENING SITUATION THEY IMMEDIATELY GET THEIR POWER BACK.

Ways to kill any/all gods/immortals:

Draining of immortal essence like Tartarus

Stripping a god of their divinities, effectively making them mortal once all their divine energy is gone

MC IF I GIVE HIM EMBODIMENT OF DEATH

Should I do it?

Yes

No]
