33 Chapter 36: Ares

[A/N: The last chapter of the week, enjoy. For those who don't know, I only post 5 chapters a week, this is my schedule, I do it in my two novels.]

....

Currently, Rao was in the vacuum of space somewhat close to the yellow sun, he was in a lotus position while meditating.

I don't like it ... I don't like it when something is not under my control ...

Just thinking about the fact that someone can use some strange power to observe my actions irritates me ...

This is a weakness of mine, I cannot be arrogant to think that everything is under my control ... Krypton compared to Earth knew a lot about the universe, but all Krypton's knowledge is just the tip of everything that exists in the universe.

The universe is constantly expanding, the universe is infinite ... It is practically impossible to know everything that happens in the universe ...

Instead of being angry about a situation that I cannot control, I must plan, I must prepare.

I open my eyes, and look at New Krypton that is being born in this new solar system. I have work to do, I have a nation to be created, a race that I must protect from extinction. I also have enemies that are much more powerful than me.

Currently, I don't know how to strengthen myself, but I have a feeling ... Wrong, is it more correct to say that it is something I know? I do not know how to explain.

But...

I look at the yellow sun. 'This is the key, the more I meditate on the yellow sun, the more I feel a' thing 'growing inside of me. I don't know what that' thing 'is, but I know it will be useful in the future.

This is a strange feeling. It is as if you have a feeling that you should turn left, and if you do not turn left many bad things can happen.

Everything is related to the sun, this is what I feel.

...

Four days later.

In those four days that passed, I just meditated in the vacuum of space. I just went back to the ship a few times, I did it to check the progression in Faora's studies. Currently, I don't have much to do. I already planted the seeds of the future Krypton civilization, I'm just waiting for this seed to bear fruit.

My subordinates were always monitoring this solar system. If I didn't get any calls, it was because nothing important happened.

Walking to the torture room, I look at Faora. "Did he say anything?"

"He still hasn't said anything." Faora was quite irritated these days, it seems that Ares' persistence severely damaged her pride as a torturer.

"Give me some time alone with this god." I order.

"Yes, My Lord." Non and Faora spoke.

I enter the torture room and the first thing I see is a completely clean room and a man chained to a cell that contains several reinforced shields.

An interesting skill about Ares is that when he dies, the blood he sheds seeps back in his body as if nothing had happened, it was like a skill that goes back in time.

I grab a chair and sit in front of Ares's cell.

Let's start our game: "Do you know that I admire you a little?"

I notice Ares raising an eyebrow. "Will you torture me today?" He asked.

But I ignore him: "I really admire you a little, you were able to endure torture that would make any being ask for mercy."

"Humpf, don't underestimate me. I'm the god of war, I've always been prepared for torture."

I smile a little: "Yes, I understand." I nod my head.

"Well, I have to thank you."

"Huh?"

"Didn't I tell you? Because of your persistence, my wife became more determined to learn about torture. I even learned a few things as well. " I nod in satisfaction.

"To be honest, I don't care much for the information from Olympus."

"Huuuh?"

"Why are you making that stupid face? You forgot that I can get any knowledge of human books. After all, what is written in those books is 100% true, right? "

"Well, Yes. I mean, some parts humans have changed, but the tales are true."

I give a small smile. "See? I don't particularly need you here. "

"I just left you in jail for my wife to gain a desire to learn more. After all, you are immortal, right? You will never die, the gods are certainly extraordinary beings. "

Ares gives a proud smile. "Of course, we are different from you! We are immortal! "

"This is a very enviable trait, right? You can live forever and enjoy all the pleasures. "

"Yes, I already tasted all kinds of women and wine that existed, I slept with countless goddesses too." He speaks contentedly while nodding his head.

"Yes, Yes. I heard that Aphrodite was your wife, right? She is the most beautiful goddess of Olympus, you are a lucky man. How did you feel when you betrayed your brother Hephaestus? "

"Betrayal? There was no betrayal, my brother was not worthy of Aphrodite, she would naturally be mine. "

.... Olympus is lost. If the main gods of this pantheon are composed of selfish children like Ares, eventually they will destroy themselves because of their selfishness.

"I am jealous of you. You cannot die. You have had all the pleasures that a man can have, and you will live until the end of time!"

"Hahahaha, not everything is enviable. If these little humans are extinguished, I will die. After all, I am alive only because of the faith of humans." He spoke in a wistful tone.

Oh? Do gods die if they don't receive 'faith?' Is that some kind of energy? I know that 'faith' is like a worship that mortals have with the gods, but does that 'worship' produce any kind of energy? I need to keep him distracted. "Yes, that is a bad thing. In a way, I am happy. After all, I am going to live for at least 300 years, but that is enough for me. "

"300 years, huh? That is not enough. "

"True." I nod my head.

"I was always curious, do the Olympian gods live in heaven?"

"Hahaha, you are a fool." Ares laughs loudly as if having fun. "Those who live in heaven are the angels. They are a more powerful race than the gods, at least their archangels are much stronger than the gods." He speaks with an angry frown, he doesn't seem to like that fact. "Olympians live in Greece!"

Of course, isn't it? The problem is that I can't locate where in Greece you live. After all, this seems to be a protected and hidden place from the world.

Angels, huh ... I just wanted to confirm the existence of these beings, but it seems that they are real. Ares is a well of knowledge, if I could access his mind, I wouldn't have to have this conversation, tsk.

"Well, it was a good conversation with a wise god. In the future, I plan to come back here."

"Huh?"

I get up from the chair and walk towards the exit. Arriving at the exit, I say in a cold tone: "Increase the level of torture. I don't care if you damage the ship a little. Create new ways to kill beings as painfully as possible, make sure you make him suffer. "

"Yes, My Lord."

I start walking, I need to meditate.

"Rao is angry, it seems that this god has bothered him." Faora spoke in a cold voice that made Non's spine tremble in fear.

"How did you notice? He looked normal to me." Non tried to change the subject when he realized that Faora was beginning to murmur her plans to torture Ares.

"I know him well." Faora spoke.

Non soon remembered that this woman is the one who sleeps in the same bed as Rao. "You're right."

"..."

Faora narrows her eyes at Non for a moment, but has decided to ignore it for now.
