——————————————————————————————-

Finding Priapus was super easy barely and inconvenience thanks to Athena who gave me his current whereabouts as soon as I asked her, now all I had to do was kill my first God, and what best target than the god that tried to rape Hestia a few thousand years ago.

Teleporting to where Athena had told me I would find the god I wanted, I could almost feel my heart almost beating out of my chest with trepidation. Ba-dum ba-dum, ba-dum ba-dum, ba-dum ba-dum. My heart rate was accelerating rapidly and beating loudly as the idea of snapping the neck of this shitty excuse of a god settled in. It took me a few minutes to actually find him, even with Athena's directions, but there he was tending to a garden.

"Who are you?" Priapus asked, wary as he should be.

"A name has no meaning to a dead man," I replied, and this was more than enough to send the message I intended to send, because as soon as those words left my mouth, Priapus attacked.

He quickly dashed in front of me and struck me violently in the head with a shovel, but it had no effect whatsoever, It felt as if he had punched me with a pillow, this in turn made me smirk at him, I kinda felt unbreakable I knew I outclassed him, but this just made this kill all the more enjoyable.

The son of Aphrodite and Dionysus retreated quickly after seeing his attack had no effect, but I was not gonna let him escape so I pursued the god.

It took me less than a second to catch up to him, and once I did I tried to bash his head to the ground with a straight punch, but unfortunately I had underestimated the god a bit, for he clearly saw my punch coming, and was able to dodge it as he leapt into the sky. I suppose this made this all the more fun, as of now I was using a very small part of my power, and if I went all out I could very well kill him in a second, but where was the fun in that, besides… Odin said I needed his body.

"Good," I laughed as the very earth around us shook as my power fluctuated, under emotional distress it was hard for me to keep my power in check, and the sheer emotion of disgust and excitement I was feeling, was pushing my control to the limit, forcing my power into a chaotic state for a brief moment before once again I managed to reign it in, this of course didn't go unnoticed, if the face of Priapus was anything to go by.

"I don't know what I did to be on your bad side, but please let's talk it out." Priapus offered.

"You hurt Hestia," I stated as I looked up to the god flying above the ground.

In response the god's eyes widened in surprise and something akin to Terror, before he clenched his fists and in a primal scream he focused his entire being on releasing all his full power. Gritting his teeth he let his entire body change into his divine form, the first change being his body being enveloped in pure light, after that his stature changed growing exponentially, his entire body showing various runes that connected to one another written in old Greek. But most importantly his power was multiplied rapidly as the transformation finished.

"Is that all?" I asked, and the god growled in annoyance.

"I can see you don't know how to tap into this form yet, so I still have a chance!" Priapus cried, as he rushed at me with new-found speed, poor idiot, while he was indeed correct, and I had yet to figure out how to access my divine form, the power I possessed, outmatched him entirely, but I was like a cat, I loved playing with my prey.

With devastating power the now thirty feet tall God threw a punch at me, which by simply increasing my power output a bit, I managed to parry easily with the palm of my hand. But I had begrudgingly admit, this time he had actually packed a punch, a very weak one, like a bed ridden mouse that is terminally ill, but can still bite someone, it was both a surprising and sad development, what actually surprised me though was his newfound speed, because while his power had increased maybe a fifty percent compared to when he tried to shovel me to the afterlife, his transformation changed his speed drastically, he had impressively become much quicker, not enough to outspeed me, but enough to make me wonder how fast would Hermes be if this little shit was this fast after showing how true power.

"This is your trump card?" I asked, as he continued his assault, it was actually quite funny, seeing me a normal sized person by human standards, swatting his attacks that by all logical means should be crushing me.

"Well, time to end this… don't you think?" I muttered.

Priapus jumped back, changing his positioning and launched a beam of pure energy at me, but I stood there, receiving the attack head on emerging from the pitiful attack completely unscathed, "Was that what people call going all in?" I asked as I slowly started walking towards the god who had begun to panic. He could clearly see he was outmatched, and in fear decided to charge a more powerful attack. As he charged abnormally high amounts of mana on his hand I continued my advance, step by step.

"This will kill you!" Priapus hissed, and I smiled as he unleashed the full power of his attack. The attack was both powerful and somewhat fast at the same time, but it was nothing in the great scheme of things, so with a single hand and a bit mana I stopped the attack a few inches away from me and with a quick upward movement of my arm, I forced the attack to deviate from its path, flying into outer space.

"It didn't," I pointed out, as Priapus knelt on the ground, trembling, his breathing shallow, his eyes lifeless.
