Chapter 16: Unknown God and What is broken

By now Marcus, had already sent his past self into the golden era of the Titan. He was finally free from his one of his most fatal weakness. Prometheus had already been punished for stealing the fire and giving to the mankind. Marcus did not help him as even till now he never asked for help and Prometheus did not want Zeus and Marcus to fall out of their brotherhood over his action thus he stayed quiet. He was still invited to party everytime Marcus threw one which was frequent and he had realised that Marcus speeded the Tortute he indured all he needed to do was to act like he was in pain for the same amount of time as before to tric Zeus. When he got sloppy Marcus would revert back the time it used to take. Prometheus was okay with this as he had not even asked Marcus for help he could not criticise him for that.

Marcus had asked Hecate to teach him which she accepted as he was loved by all in Jaya and he had found a great cave in Jaya and would often visit her to tell her about new place he had found in Jaya. She knew that some of this place were the same as Marcus would get lost sometime but no one said anything as he could handle himself and it was not bothering anyone.

After learning magic, Marcus was finally ready to get a new power. He went into a Illusionary Dungeon and created a massive amount of earth into the sky, he sped the atoms inside it and tried to make them rotate faster but no matter how much time went Marcus did not get any notification.

Marcus: DAMN IT!! I've been doing this for a week now! How come I haven't received a divinity or even a skill related to gravity.

[It is because there is already a greek god that has dominion over gravity.]

Marcus:...WAIT! WHAT?! I don't remember a greek God having gravity as his domain.

[It is because this greek god is believed to be a myth even among the greek Gods.]

Marcus: Who is he?

[The twin brother of Zeus. Upon his birth Rhea chose to hide Zeus as he looked to be the most powerfull of the two. When Kronos saw him, he felt that he was not a threat but did not want to leave any chance thus he swallow Zeus and made it seem like he had swallowed both only to sent the twin into space to another world where he would learn how to control gravity by moving. When he learned of his father's fate, he came back but stayed hidden waiting for his time.]

Marcus: What is his name.

[Apocalypse]

(Author: I wish I could take credit for bringing a new character but this guys is in the myth and since there is like zero myth about him I don't know his alignment so I'm going to wing it here.

Marcus: What are the chance for him to be here for revenge?

[97% against Zeus and the Olympians as he never was subjected to any harm by Kronos.]

Marcus: And me?

[100% but since you possess control over time he does not know how to deal with you.]

Marcus left the illusionary dungeon, stopped time and used his haki to find Apocalypse. After he found Apocalypse, he killed him without a moment of hesitation.

Marcus: Tia what would happen if time resumed?

[Tia, gravity would be out of control and the earth would be ripped apart. You will need to have the skill at level 50 to use it without a thought.]

Marcus decided to enter an illusionary dungeon where he modified time as it would be a ratio of 500 years in there and an instant outside. He grinded the skill till level 60 and used his craftmanship skill to create a statue of Fujitora. He brought it outside and when time resumed nothing bad happened.

[Statue of the Guardian of Gravity:

Gyrokinesis: Lv 72]

Marcus put the statue on Jaya and told everyone to never damage it which everyone took seriously as they had never seen him this serious even during the war. After that, he went to tell Zeus and the other siblings about Apocalypse.

Hestia was furious at Marcus for what he had done but the rest understood why he did and would have done the same even Zeus as Marcus had said Apocalypse never was on the receiving end of Kronos paranoia. All Kronos did to him was to erase his existance from the memories of everyone. He must have ideolised his father and the fact that he was waiting and biding his time did not do well on his impression. At the end of the day, Zeus was happy that Marcus eliminated a threat to his rule. All but Hestia figured that the reason why Apocalypse had not shown himself was mostly because he still did not have any plans against Marcus. It took a few years for Hestia to forgive Marcus.

Marcus was not Luffy. Sure, he liked to act like characters from One piece but if someone was after his head he would not let them proceed if they were really dangerous and an unknown god was really the last thing he wanted in his plan for the future.

During the years Hestia was mad at him, he had gone to find Aether and asked him to attack him. Aether agreed and was dumbfounded when he saw that Marcus could control time after he had separated Marcus body by reaping space. He asked Marcus how he did it and Marcus told him as it was not a secret anymore after Zeus had tried to prank him by throwing a lightning bolt at him, in the early years of the war, and the next moment got struck by a bolt Marcus had sent. After Poseidon tried the same thing they realised that Marcus could copy any power he got hit with.

Marcus reason for gainig space power was to use time, gravity and space power at the same time to recreated the Ope Ope no mi abilities until he could create Devil fruits.

Rhea was not made aware of Apocalypse as she would have been to heart broken.

Marcus returned to Jaya and met Boa who was having fun with the animals in their private garden.

[Marcus it is time to address the issue. The Gamer's mind can not help you with this as long as you do not address it as you were already like this before you received it.]

Marcus: What issue?

[What the ROB's broke in you.]

Marcus: ....Tia...I have no idea what you mean.

Boa saw Marcus and walked up to him.

[Then answer this question. Who is-was Vicky?]

Marcus: She was my friend.

[No she was not. This is the reason why you pre-reincarnation self as well as your post-reincarnation self both sought Hera even after you had forgotten you original plan. It is the same reason why you thought the Olympians were going to betray you. Now tell me who was Vicky?]

As boa saw Marcus face her smile dissapeared and she rushed at him to give him a hug.

Marcus was surprised as he saw that she was sad.

Marcus: Boa why are you sad? Are you hurt?

Boa: No it's just the first time I saw you being sad and you looked like you need a hug.

Marcus created water to see his reflection and he looked indeed sad.

[Marcus. You have to answer the truth. Who was Vicky....To you?]

For the first time since Boa had met Marcus, she always heard him speak with confidence but there was no confidence in his next words. It resembled her old self when she had met him.

Marcus spoke with after tears rushed out of his eyes.

Marcus: she....she...she was my....my...my fiancee.
