11 Rage/Punishment

Hephaistos was happy for the first time in a long time, She hadn't felt like this around anyone before, but for some reason Adon's words caused a smile to come to her face

That was until she was pulled out of the street and thrown across Hephaestus's forge

"You damn whore!" He yells slamming his foot into her face "You seduce me and then go and marry some small-time god! if you were going to whore around you should have gone after a higher-level god!" He said and kicked her across the room grabbing a hot metal rob that had been sitting in the forge

'You belong to me!... this will prove it" With those words, he pushed the rod into her exposed back as she screamed In pain, Unfortunately, Hephaestus's forge was essentially soundproof and no one could hear her as the mark set into her skin

He then threw her out with the promise of a visit later and went back to his forgery

******

After hearing the story and the explanation of what Hephaestus had done before when they were kicked out of Olympus I could feel myself grow angry

I wasn't sure why I was so angry, but after seeing her sit there trying not to cry I could feel the anger growing inside of me

I immediately left and walked toward the forge with a blank expression

"Oh hello Adony-" Hephaestus tried to say before being grabbed by the throat and thrown out of his forge

He widened his eyes as he crashed into a neighboring house 'How did he get so strong?' Hephaestus raised his hand and used the eternal flame to hit Adonymos, However, it wasn't his lucky day as Adon simply ducked his hand and jumped forward kneeling Him in the face

*New skill unlocked, Rage Lv. 1*

Adon didn't hear the system notification as he slammed his fists into the face of the god of blacksmiths

"Adonymos!" Zeus yelled flashing to the location, he wasn't sure what happened but it wasn't ok to attack an Olympian

Hearing his name Adon pauses and his eyes turn back to their normal color, they had been red before, Seeing the damage he cause he got up quickly and bowed "I'm sorry Zeus..."

But then he remembered why he was here in the first place and stopped bowing "But not for kicking his ass..."

Zeus was surprised Adon usually bowed and apologized and that would usually be it, But seeing his friend standing there confidently brought a smile to his face

"Don't worry... explain to me the situation" Zeus said as the rest of the Olympians got there

Hephaistos was there too, smiling at the sight of her brother covered in Ichor and breathing heavily 'Thank you Adon' She blushed and shook her head before listening to the conversation

*Hephaistos +20 favorability, Tot: 75(Comfortable)*

Hearing the notification didn't stop him from telling everyone there Hephaestus's crimes and by the end, most of them looked at him in disgust

Now, don't get them wrong, raping actually wasn't that big a deal for the make gods, the thing they hated was the fact that he had even gone as far as to threaten to do it when she was married to adon

Most of the gods liked Adon, and they hung out with him as much as they could, everyone knew he was technically the 'Son' of Cronus but that didn't stop them because he was a nice guy

"So what!" Hephaestus said flames swirling around him, and standing up with veins popping out of his forehead "She seduced me! the who-"

Adon had had enough his eyes turned red once again as he flashed forward stabbing Hephaestus in the head with [Talon of Fafnir]

Because of the anti-Immortal properties, Hephaestus felt that he wouldn't be able to survive this and cried out in fear "Wait please!"

"Burn in Tartarus," Adon said smiling statistically, When the deed was done his eyes regained their normal blue color and he saw what he had done 'What was that?'

"Adon... that was a bit too far...but I understand that he deserved it so you won't have a severe punishment...but I have to uphold the law I'm sorry," Zeus said with a pained expression, he was going to punish Hephaestus, but he didn't want him to die, so he would need to punish Adonymos...

******

"I'm sorry" Hephaistos cried as he packed up, He smiled and ruffled her hair

"It was my fault, I shouldn't have done that... besides the underworld isn't too bad... it's just a. few trials" He said sighing, He knew he wasn't ready for the underworld and would go through hell(Quite literally...)

Hephaistos couldn't help but feel this was her fault, and why the hell was Adon being punished?, all he did was defend her, in her opinion, Hephaestus deserved much worse... especially with the brand still on her side

He had used cursed metal so it couldn't be removed or healed, she would have this mark forever

On the bright side, she was chosen for replacing Hephaestus as an Olympian, Adon had congratulated her

Just before he was going to leave she grabbed him and gave him a kiss on the cheek blushing and turning away she ran inside

Adon smiled and started the journey to the gates if The underworld

While he was traveling he thought this is the best time for him to check some of his notifications

Rage Lv. 1:Active, 200% boost in all stats and abilities related to combat (Warning, Will lose your sense of self)

Seeing this new skill he nodded, it made sense now of what happened earlier, he hadn't been himself at all... but deep down he kind of liked how it made him

Then he stretched and looked at the rewards for beating Hephaestus

*You have defeated the weakest Olympian!, 1 stat point, 1[Random Weapon token]*

This wasn't that great but it was enough for the weakest olympian

Adon then ran the rest of the way as fast as he could to the gates of the underworld...

(A/N: Well Hephaestus is dead!šŸ„³, But unfortunately, Adon got punished so unfairšŸ¤¬)
