Chapter 391: Punishing Zeus (2)

3rd person view

Albert and Helena has already arrived at the diner where Prometheus was waiting for them. Prometheus opened a portal for them and brought them to a world where Albert was to be chained to a rock where his gut was slit open for an entire week and have an eagle feast on his liver for an entire week.

After it was done, he got to the diner and sat the opposite of Prometheus, even though he's technically now physically healed, he's still mentally exhausted. So he just rested his head against the window.

"Fun, wasn't it?" Prometheus joked

"You are a monster." Albert replied

"I know" Prometheus chuckled "Still hurts doesn't it, the pain should go away after a few days for you, I also recommend not drinking alcohol during that time."

He then use his hand to swipe the air and colored particles gathered to form some sort of screen in front of them. They sure were surprised at what Dabria did by pulling Perseus into a kiss.

They then heard what Hecate said about what the council decided to do to him. A smile then crept onto Prometheus' face.

< To be honest, it makes sense. > Helena shrugged < He tends to focus most of his attention too much on women. >

They then focus on the fight between Perseus and Zeus which worries them. Prometheus on the other hand is enjoying the situation, whether Zeus wins or lose, he will face punishment.

"He's been getting away with it for too long." Prometheus said "I bet many gods are in joy over the decision the council has taken. Members of the council should not abuse their powers just because they have some exception for some of the laws."

And he was right, many gods were cheering for Zeus' demise, unlike enforcers or his fellow members of the council, he rarely does his work, though even if he doesn't do his own work, which they mostly didn't mind, they hate the fact that he's giving gods a bad reputation.

He abuses his powers on goddesses who are too weak to retaliate, and most were scared to speak up due to his position and what he could do to them. Dabria has mentioned that some gods were forcefully made mortal as punishment for making 'False reports' about him too.

This guy isn't just a jerk in the myths, even after all these years, you'd think he would change, but no, he's just as egotistical and a jerk as he's described in those myths, he has his current authority and status only due to his sphere of influence.

Helena, Albert, and Aenon are grateful for his lessons, but the reason he decided to teach them wasn't to help in the upcoming future, but for them to have the powers to surpass Perseus, a person who was rude to him and say whatever is in his mind.

1st person view

He died a few times in the void, Hecate would blow her torch to light him occasionally on fire which irritates him a bit, her flames would light him and his clothes up and were hard to put out.

Mix with me engaging him in close combat and my void sending out spells occasionally, he was having a hard time, he can't even try to escape with Hecate on the scene. Dabria would also occasionally create this black swamp on where we are to make our footing unstable and it would shoot out black tentacles to tie Zeus up and incapacitating him temporarily.

It took several attempts for it to work since Zeus would just have his lightning ability explode destroying everything surrounding him. And my void isn't strong enough to strip him of his powers yet.

I can manipulate the void to change reality according to my imagination at will, so loose footing? Not a problem for me. I would just charge at Zeus and beat him him up, it took a while till we knock him out. Even after all that, even with Hecate's help, we only managed to knock him out.

I just knelt down and take several deep breaths.

-You okay?- Dabria asked as she approached me

-Yeah, thanks to the curse, I'm mostly okay. And what's with you girls with kissing me against my will?-

-Don't word it like that- Dabria responded -It did cause a few seconds of distraction that we needed.-

-There are literally more efficient ways to cause a distraction. Let's get that stupid apple to Prometheus.-

"Hecate, so you'll bring the unconscious Zeus and Hera back to your realm, right?"

"Of course, Hera will not suffer any punishment, but she and the other members of Olympus will now have to decide on a new member of the Olympians." Hecate answered "You can easily get a seat if you marry Hygeia, you know."

"Nah, I'm not into getting a seat among the Olympians, all of them are sort of messed up, with their king the most fucked up one. Hera is here is also messed up, Like what she did to Heracles, the guy didn't ask to be born with Zeus as a father, though it is punishment enough that his name is now associated with her."

Hera then did some curse in French, Hecate apparently refused to translate it due to how foul it was. But she is complaining at the fact that replacing a member of Olympus will not be easy and will definitely take a long time. Hestia seems satisfied with her position and so does Hades, and replacing Zeus will not be an easy position to do.

Hera would remain queen, but they will have to pick a god or goddess who will contribute to them and help them get back on their feet.

"You still want that wheel and an apple?"

"An apple, yes. Tough half a wheel would do." Hecate winked "I can use it to infuse with my torches."

We got to Prometheus who looked happy at our presence. Albert looks really pale, which, to be honest, I can't blame him, it was probably really painful. Dabria just got out one golden apple and toss it at him which he grabbed and took a bite.

"It really is delicious." he commented

"That's all you seriously have to say?"
