CHAPTER 24 Reedit

Themis dashed forward and pulled the scythe up in an arc, destroying the ground. I stepped back and while she was open, jabbed at her.

She spun her scythe and knocked up my spear before putting the blade behind my knees and pulling, throwing me on my back.

"Normally that would cut your legs off, but this was just a spar. I presume you're not used to fighting without your skills?" She reached her hand out to me.

'Yea this is just sparring if it was not your head will be flying in the air I thought.'

I took it. "Yeah. Things were moving a little faster than I remembered. I suppose that sword wasn't for the show?"

Themis made some distance and readied

herself. "No, unlike my sisters, I trained for

battle. Don't worry about it. But you shouldn't rely solely on your abilities. I've

seen you fight, and you can fight a veteran

in a fair fight. But not a titan."

I nodded and readied my spear. This reminded me of my training.

Themis charged again as her scythe shortened into a kama. Before she could get in close I held her at bay with my spear.

She grabbed it and yanked it out of my hands before continuing her charge. I could call back my spear and be pulled off balance was not an ideal alternative. It usually led to death.

Themis arced the kama down to my shoulder. I caught her wrist and stepped inside her guard before elbowing her nose. I grabbed her around her wide hips and smashed her into the floor. My spear zipped to me and I stabbed at her chest.

Before my hit could land hit she use her leg to kick me. I was fly few meters then I stand she was also standing she charged at me with her scythe I also change at her with my spear then we collide in the middle of the ground she sends flying just by my strength I didn't stop and change at her where she was laying then I was standing on her my spear aimed at her nack.

Zeus: you lose.

Themis: You got this time well I have to say you learn fast and you have great strength. 

Themis now standing spoke, " I don't think have to put so much power into it. some of my hand's bones are broken when we collided."

Zeus: "Ya I am sorry." I said. ‛I didn't think she will be so much week. I thought.'

Themis: "Well no problem next time control your strength outputs. ok."

I give her a nod.

 Themis: "We can continue another time." Themis kama turned back into her sword and scale and she walked back up the mountain. The Hecatoncheires gave her a look of pity before climbing up behind the Titaness.

Metis and Hera came over. While Hera looked concerned for me, Metis was laughing her way to heaven. "Ha that was priceless you able to overpower her in some time she is so overconfident"

Hades walked over. "Well based on those two fights, Cronus wouldn't go for a quick kill. Makes sense. But guard your stuff next time."

"Hey Hades, what do you think of a bidet?" I asked.

"The hell is a bident?" He raised his eyebrow. "It's a two-pronged spear. I get one, you get

two, and Poseidon gets three. How 'bout it?"

"Nah, I'll stick to my swords. Your spears aren't good for close quarters. And you need sufficient training for that. I never really cared for the spear."

I shrugged. This little shit. "Worth a shot." We all climbed up the mountain while Hades practiced his ability.

At the top, Briareus was telling the now awake Poseidon about my fight. Themis was sad face nearby.

When the story ends Poseidon asks.

"Hey, where's Hades. I just had an idea and I need to go tell him."

"He's down the mountain practicing his new ability," I said.

"He got a new one?"

"Yup. Can control wealth." Poseidon crossed his arms and frowned.

"When the hell does I get my cool power!"

I shrugged. "You just have to wait. It'll appear eventually." ya you never practice for divinity. I thought.

"Hmph. So what's our plan now? Take out Atlas, Hecate?" Ask Poseidon

"For now, we just have to rest and train. Hades will be going to the underworld to steal something from Hecate. It's this animal that gives you the power to kill immortals." Metis said.

Poseidon: "Damn. When is he going?" 

Zeus: "Whenever he's ready."

POV (Hades)

A week later, Hades waits on top of the Mountain.

"I'm getting in the Underworld from here?" I asked. I'd expect it to be a little lower at least. My brothers stood to the side while the girls waited back at the camp.

The Titaness Themis nodded her head. "It goes up here so that it has a smaller chance of becoming unstable." She whispered something and a hole opened. It led down into darkness. "Good luck."

"Wait where are the stairs?" I didn't think it was wise to drop into the Underworld just like that.

"Don't worry about it. It won't do anything to you at all. Just make sure to not touch the rivers. They will, well it's just not healthy."

"Yup of course."

"Don't eat anything either. It will trap you down there." Zeus said.

"I'm not hungry. Zeus, Poseidon. You two better not do anything stupid while I'm gone."

Poseidon smiled and Zeus gave me a thumbs up. "Don't worry about us. Just stay safe. If you can't do it, then don't."

Poseidon smiled and Zeus gave me a thumbs up. "Don't worry about us. Just stay safe. If you can't do it, then don't."

I didn't really trust Zeus alone with

Poseidon. Both of them were battle

maniacs that always wanted to train for the

next fight. Since I no longer had anyone to

pray to, I just took a deep breath and

jumped into the Underworld..
