43 Ch: 43: Divine Constructs

Ruler had to take a moment to take that in since it was so unbelievable. He had never heard about the Greek Pantheon ever existing in the past.

'Wait. One of the Norse Gods flys around with a super soldier, two spies, a man in power armor, and my mother while I am able to summon a goddess to assist me. Why am I still getting surprised by stuff?'

"So why did you get into a fight with Hercules and what was the result?"

Achilles took a minute to think about how he wanted to answer that question but in the end, decided to say it as honestly as possible.

"After I gave your monthly check-in to your mother and siblings, I decided to head home and explore where I was when I was alive. But when I got there, I felt a divine sense wash over me.

Feeling uncomfortable with it, I decided to leave as soon as possible. But very soon after, the man called Hercules appeared before me.

He said that he could feel divine energy from my body and asked for my name. When I told him, he said that he had heard of my legends and wanted to see how true they were.

Although I had never heard of this man before, I decided to battle against him. And he was a mighty opponent.

His divinity allowed him to break through my immortal body and could even cause major damage with just the shockwaves of his swings. Although I had speed on him, it was just too difficult to land the finishing blow without killing him.

So I decided to run away. But after I did, researched about the man I battled. He apparently was a legendary figure like myself and had even ascended to true godhood.

Then I thought back to my life and compared what I had to go through vs his 12 trials and thought that my life was so tame in comparison.

The only time the gods actually went against me was when I killed the daughter of one and disrespected the temple of another.

After finding that out, I had a strong urge to change myself as well as have a rematch with him. But before I knew it, I returned to my card form and was summoned out here by you."

Ruler began to think over the ascension requirements for his other servants after hearing how Achilles evolved. At first, he thought all of them would be very difficult but he was no longer sure.

Of all his Servants, 4 were already ascended and 6 remained. As for how he was going to get those 6 into their full powered states, he only had vague ideas for the rest of them.

Saber twins would most likely require them to prove themselves to the Greek pantheon while Archer had to prove his worth before other gods. Caster believed her family was cursed by gods.

Nightangale wished to save as many people as possible and had even tapped into the authority of a god to do so. Avenger most likely wanted revenge of Tezcatlipoca as well as humanity.

Alter Ego was the will of the world itself manifesting as well as her own wish to survive longer than her weaker body had allowed her to.

Except fot Alter Ego, all of the remaining Servants dealt with deities as their motives.

'Gods, gods, gods. Why does everything have to deal with gods for me. Do I truly need to meet some gods to get these guys as well as myself to full power?

Wait. Not just gods. All of these heroic spirits are beings of legends. Which means that some of their legends may be true.

I don't just have to look for gods but can also look for Divine Constructs as well. Ugh! So much to do.'

Ruler dismissed Achilles and told him that he was allowed to roam around Geonsha but to return in 5 hours before Ruler got on the laptop in his room and beginning to do a large amount of research about possible Divine Constructs that he could find currently.

The Argon Coin noble phantasm is what inspired him to start searching for them. He wanted to be able to have extra trump cards in case his mutation was ever shut down or he could not use mana.

With a few hours of research, he was able to find 6 potential Divine Constructs around the world that were privately or publicly owned.

After writing down their locations, Ruler decided to take a nap before he went searching for some. He used the opportunity to allow his body to properly rest for the first time in months.

Usually meditation would be allow him to recover and feel well rested but he could only do it for 4 months before his body needed some true rest. Ruler always did every 2 months or so in case an emergency delayed the process.

After he woke up, Ruler felt refreshed and ready. Achilles was also ready for him so Ruler gave him the order and told him what he was looking for. He also summoned Anastasia so that she could travel with Achilles for the mission.

Their goal was to visit the different locations that Ruler had found online and see if the famous objects had any trace of mana or authority in them.

If they did, they would bring the object back. If not, they would move on and to the next one on the list.

At best, he would come back with 6 divine constructs while at worst, he would just be wasting time for a few hours.

When the pair left, Nathan went down to the training hall where he was greeted with the sight of Ember and Slasher battling. The pair seemed to be really focused and serious because both had various injuries over their bodies.
