Chapter 316: Adam and Eve (2)

"Perseus, Dabria, stop arguing you 2" Aphrodite advised "Even if the rest of the people here can't hear you, I definitely can. This is my quarters after all."

"Can you kick Adam out then? I kinda want my body back."

"Don't worry" Aphrodite reassured "The cooldown maybe 10 hours, but I can shorten it to 3 or 4."

"Damn it" Dabria held her head in frustration "Alright tell us about Pandora's pithos, be quick and ask the stupid Adam why he did what he did."

"Adam, Dabria and Perseus are interested at why you are inside his body like a parasite? Why are you messing with him by bringing his future children of an alternate timeline here?" Aphrodite asked

"Well I told him already, it's to show his importance. He will be the strongest of his bloodline." Adam explained "If he can't stop the oncoming war, no one will, end of all life as we know it. And as for why I'm a parasite to his soul, I think you've figured it out, I desire to go back to Eden and I also desire to find my son Cain. I want to bring him to heaven, he have suffered enough. I've pleaded with god, but he doesn't agree that Cain should go to heaven."

"You've escaped Heaven for just that? Are you fucking insane?!" Damon retorted "Maybe I don't know, leave use a message, 'Yo can you help get my son to heaven, I'll owe you one' "

"So are you angry with god or something?" Ace asked

"Of course, I've seen so many worse people go to heaven and yet my son is left to wander across worlds looking for a way to end his suffering. he doesn't necessarily want heaven, he just wants his misery to end" Adam nodded "I want to help my son despite his past sins. To stay in the mortal realm, I needed a host and Perseus was my chosen one."

"We've seen him cry just for his misery to end, he can still feel pain, so each of his attempts at death made him cry in enormous pain, as a mother, I can't stand to see it any longer." Eve added "Adam left Heaven first to scout ahead and he knew the fate of Perseus, whose body is his perfect host. So he chose him to stay for a while, Adam do not want to cause any harm."

"Then why send me back in time?" Zach asked

"I know the fates" Adam answered "To become a celestial and awaken his powers, he needs to be a celestial, and in many different timelines, he did ally himself with Andrius Thames, but most don't have the soul of one of his siblings."

"Then how'd you know I would become a scholar? I could've easily not become a semi immortal lich" Zach countered

"Well that's called playing with fate" Adam chuckled "Perseus' desire to come back to this world one last time is strong, he would have found out a way to become a celestial either way. As a celestial, he can find Eden where me and Eve desire, and hopefully he can help Cain."

"Why me specifically? You could have easily chosen Kenny"

"I just chose at random" Adam shrugged "I also thought that it'll be funny to get a woman reincarnate as a man."

"Just a curious question" Lia raised her hand "When me and Perseus are alone together, you weren't spying on us like a creepy stalker, right?"

"Trust me, I obey the god's rules and at least have common sense, I respect people's privacy." Adam answered

"Thank the gods" Lia sighs in relief

"Ok that's enough from you for now, the pithos, where is it?" Siege asked as he turned to the goddess

"Well I don't know exactly where it is, but I know who currently have it" Aphrodite answered "It's Prometheus, he's the current owner."

"Shit, isn't he siding with Eros?" Dabria cursed

"Yeah, that might be a problem. How'd you know that he's holding on to it?"

"I know many things" Aphrodite replied "But as for how you can get if off of Prometheus, I wouldn't know. Are you satisfied with my answer?"

"My answer would be no" Dabria grumbled "How the hell are we supposed to go against the titan of creation? Perseus needs to be a demigod at least of Heracles' level for that."

"Well you should realize it by now, he is." Aphrodite chuckled "This is Heracles' test for you all. Yes, hope is still in the pithos, but this is mainly a test, will you all be able to get it or not. Prometheus, like me, doesn't really fight a lot, so you will have to bargain for it since a fight will just devastate both sides."

"So where is Prometheus then?" Zach asked

"I told you, I do not know" Aphrodite answered "Now that I've seem to have answered your questions, I hope that you all can return my favor a bit."

"Are we included?" Adam asked "I mean, me and Eve have not asked for anything"

"Well all I want is that if you were to defeat Eros, bring him to me before you decide to end him. Though our timing for meeting each other is just as impeccable as always, Eros has captured the Artian princess, Eleanor, and he's keeping her hostage." Aphrodite told us

"Damn it, he's luring me, isn't he? He's using Eleanor to lure me somewhere."

"Oh I do not know his intentions unfortunately" Aphrodite shook her head "I offered all the knowledge that I know and allowed to give to you. I can tell you one thing, she should be unharmed but...Eros would probably have told her everything, and I doubt she would react the same way as your girlfriends."

"Yeah, make sense, my girlfriends are both insane that way."

"He called you 2 insane by the way" Aphrodite snitched on me "He also said that he prefers me over the 2 of you combined"

"What the hell?! When have I said that?!"

She just laughed and winked at me.

"Well anyway, Eleanor feels betrayed" Aphrodite continued "If anything, I can feel it right now. She only had a small delusional crush on you before but she was willing to put her full trust in both you and Albert, not like your 2 current girlfriends who have genuine love for you nor Alice and Stella here who have complete trust in you, she might not want to be saved. You 2 were after all her first real friends and yet you hid such a secret from her."

"Are you trying to make me feel more guilty than I already am? My organization killed Luke just for a stupid pendant so that we can summon a demon lord, I'm still guilty about it, you know!"

"Well apologize to her after you save her" Dabria grumbled "But before we can do all that, I need to get back into my body...Aw don't kiss each other again! Not enough magic to going to purify my lips now!"

"Again, I'm like super offended."
