Underworld's last hope

"Okay, so, although you are a Primordial god, you're not a true one."

"And by that you mean?"

"True Primordial gos are the ones who are borned like this. You are now a fake Primordial god as you weren't born like this but you raised your powers to this extent. Thus your power is lower than a true Primordial god's. The only way to surpass them is to become a celestial god, or something above that, if there exists something beyond the celestial god."

"So why did I do all that 'training'? I let you beat me for nothing?"

"Don't worry, as much as I enjoyed it, I did that in order for you to be able to unlock your ultimate power."

"Ultimate power? What's that? And why have I never heard of something like that?"

"That's something that you can gain when you become a Primordial god. For example I can control the souls of the dead, Poseidon can control the water, Aphrodite can make anyone fall in love with her and Zeus can control lighting, but he doesn't have only one ultimate power. He isn't a Primordial god, he is a Celestial god, thus he has two ultimate powers. Though I don't know what it is."

"But I was already in the Primordial god realm, actually I was even higher than that."

"The cultivation realms don't apply to the gods. Each one of us has different power types and realms and we are the same. What truly matters is what kind of god you are."

"I see, so how do I acquire that ultimate power?"

"That's simple, just connect your mind with the universe and you will naturally acquire it."

"I see, I guess it's worth a try."

I sat on the ground and closed my eyes.

We Gods have a special technique to talk with the universe, and by universe I mean the ultimate being, the one who made everything that exists.

No one knows who they are, the only thing that we know is that they are the ones who gave us our powers and the ones who control everything.

I took a deep breath and when I opened my eyes I found myself staring at a galaxy which was ready to get devoured by a supermassive black hole.

The black hole moved closer to the galaxy and released its destructive power. It slowly started devouring the galaxy leaving nothing behind.

I couldn't get my eyes off from that terrifying but beautiful at the same time sight.

For just a moment I almost forgot the reason why I was there.

For some reason the black hole split into two and they started moving closer to me.

Suddenly two huge golden hands descended from above the black holes, caught them and started squeezing them to the point their size was the same as my eyeballs.

I honestly didn't knew what the fuck was going on anymore but for some reason I felt the earge to get close to these two black holes.

And as I went closer those two flew towards my eyes and got in their place.

I felt a burning sensation coming from my eyes that was like nothing I had experienced before. I was feeling like my eyes were on fire. I wanted to take them out so much, but you know that I can't do something like that so I had to endure it.

I tried to heal my eyes with my powers but even that didn't do anything.

After a while that torture had finally starting to cease as my eyesight was starting to slowly returning to normal and the pain was less that it was.

As soon as my vision returned to normal I wasn't in the space, but I was kneeling in front lf Hades.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Y-yea, I'm fine."

"What happened? There were blood coming from your eyes and they suddenly changed to black. In fact they still are."

"What?"

I summoned a mirror and took a look at myself. My eyes were pitch black, or to say it better it was like there was a black hole in my eyes.

I started explaining everything that happened to Hades and he replied to me,

"Yeah, I forgot to mention that during that there is a chance for you to die if you can't control the power of your gift."

"And you say that now?"

"It doesn't matter now. I have arranged you to meet some people in order to learn some techniques with the hope of you defeating Poseidon."

"Wait, do you know what my ultimate power is?"

"It's called Perfect Mimicry, you can perfectly emulate any move you see regardless of its speed and power."

"I think that this is a bit broken."

"You don't say? You're the only one who has taken an ability like that one. You're extremely lucky."

"I see, so who are those people that I will meet?"

"They are some of earth's greatest humans."

"Humans? How will they be able to help?"

"Don't underestimate the humans, their abilities will surely surprise you."

We departed from Hades's house and headed to a village outside the city.

We walked in a restaurant which was completely empty except from one table in which three people were sitting. There were two women and one man.

Hades and I sat at the same table and he started the introductions.

"Well Homare, she is Mata Hari, a brilliant dancer but alsoa dangerous assassin during the WWI."

I looked at the young woman. She had brown hair, blue eyes and was wearing the clothes of a dancer.

"Why I haven't heard of you?"

"That's because I made sure that no one would be alive to discover my identity." She said while flipping a knife with her fingers.

"I-I see."

"Next, she is Marilyn Monroe, one of the most beautiful women that walked on earth. Her beuty is almost in par with Aphrodite's."

She had long blonde hair, green eyes and was wearing a white shirt and black trousers.

"Oh, I know you, it's my pleasure to meet you."

"Of course you know me cutie, hehe, the pleasure is all mine." She replied with a smile.

"Ahem, last but not least, Miyamoto Musashi, who is a well known samurai who has analytical prediction and can predict someone's next attack."

He was tall, at least 200 cm tall, had black short hair and brown eyes and he was too muscular.

"I think I have heard about you somewhere but I can't remember."

"Haha, young god, my fame isn't that great, it isn't necessarily for you to know me."

"Now that you met the humans who will help you it's time to introduce yourself Homare."

"Ah yea, my name is Homare and I'm the god who will go against Poseidon and free the underworld."

"What an introduction budy." Hades said teasing me.

"Whatever you say."

"Okay, Homare we will start with miss Marilyn and miss Mata. I guess you two know what you need to do."

"Yes lord Hades, leave everything to us." The two of them said.

They took me outside of the restaurant and went behind some houses.

"Okay Homare I'll start first. We have made a plan which will result in killing Poseidon without much effort, although in case this won't work we have mr. Miyamoto as plan B." Miss Marilyn said.

"I see, so what will you teach me?"

"You probably didn't knew it but even in earth some people could use magic, and I'm one of them. We heard about your ability from lord Hades so I want you to copy my disguise technique."

"Disguise technique? You used something like that when you were alive?"

"You know a woman should be pretty at all times, but I only used it when I was bored to use makeup. So you can't exactly say that it affected my real appearance a lot. Anyway, I'll teach you how to transform into a girl."

"Eh?"

"You probably don't know it, but Poseidon likes to be around women, so we will make you transform into a girl to get close to him. Miss Mata from here will teach you how to dance and how to assassinate Poseidon. And I guess you still don't know how to use your newly acquired power so it won't be of any use now. But in case you fail to assassinate him this way you will have to face him head on. But let's hope that won't happen."

"Woah, woah, I'll transform into a girl and dance in front of Poseidon? There is no way I'll do something like that."

"How knows? Maybe you will also have to dance naked to charm him even more." Miss Mata said.

"What the fuck!?"

"You want to complete a promise that you made and save that girl right? There's no other way. Unless you want to take head on Poseidon, darling."

How they know that… Ah, that damn Hades.

"Okay, fine, I'll do it."

"Perfect, let's start your training."
