Ch 22 Zeus
After spending some time with her she said
"Go train your brothers Poseidon or something. I'm kinda busy right now." I nodded. I could read anything physical, but not emotions or thoughts. Metis was logical and practical. She joined us knowing what would happen.
I walked out of the tent and climbed down the mountain. I had nothing to do but train and wait for the time to fight Atlas.
At the bottom, Hades was doing squats and raising his hands in the air. As if he were trying to raise the dead.
"Uh, what are you doing?" I asked as I walked over.
"Wait I almost have it. Just a little longer." I crossed my arms and after a few more seconds, a ruby the size of a fist shot out of the ground and in front of Hades. He closed his eyes and the ruby straightened into a needle before it blasted forward and pierced a tree.
"What was that?" I asked. Well, I know what it is. it is his divinity toward riches so he can control most wealth-related things I thought.
"I turned into a magnet in Hyperion's palace of gold and jewels. I suspected it was like Demeter and her plants and Hestia with her fire. So I tested it and I learned I could control and detect metal."
Yeah dream little shit you are not magneto you only control things that are wealth-related
like gold, silver, diamond Not iron, copper, vibranium metals. I thought.
I was pretty sure Hades became the god of riches so I assumed so much metal would awaken his divinity? I thought.
Hades: "It doesn't seem too practical now though. But there's plenty of metal under us so just give me a bit of time."
I turned around, summon clouds without thunder.
Clouds gathered and thunder boomed. But there was no lightning. Poseidon was a potato and Hades was busy so I compare spar. For the first time in a while, I had nothing to do.
I was about to go look for Hera when something knocked on the barrier. I turned to see two titans standing there.
I walked over to them. One of the seven-and-a-half-foot-tall tall men with a bald head and a curly orange goatee. The other one was a lady standing at 6'4. She had dark brown, wavy hair that she kept in a low ponytail. In her hand was an ivory balance scale that was. Upside down?, On her belt was a longsword.
"Do you need something?" I asked. I wasn't in the mood for any trash-talk right now.
"I know this is probably weird coming from titans but..." the man started.
"We'd like to join you in your quest to dethrone Kronos," the woman finished.
I sighed. These guys weren't serious were
they. "Okay, and you are?"
The blind woman smiled. "I am Themis, Titaness of fair justice. I am blind to background and conditions. I only judge fairly and as someone deserves. Kronos is an evil tyrant, and justice must be served."
"And I am Prometheus. I only care for the upcoming mortals. I never liked how Kronos ran things, If he remain, king when motels will come & die, I knew he will go too far. he has created Pandora already for upcoming Mortals. And I know when mortals will come he will exactly what he wants to do. Those two idiots are going to release those evils and humanity will be ruined."
I rubbed my eyes. "You two didn't come here with that for me to open my barrier to you? You know. The one protecting us from titans like you."
"Uhh..." Themis scratched her head.
"We can give you information!" Prometheus offered. "We can act as your spies as long as after you win the war, you help me."
"And win the war for me," Themis added.
Prometheus nodded. "You don't even need to let us live in the barrier. Kronos knows nothing of our betrayal.
The worst thing they could do was give me the wrong information. I needed a way to validate what they told me. After some thought, I shook my head. "Sorry guys. I simply can't trust you. You'll have to find someone else to help you." I turned to walk away but a hand grabbed my arm.
I quickly drew my xiphos and activated the thunder speed Attack. All three failed but I still cut off the hand.
Prometheus pulled back his now handless arm. The titans seemed just as surprised. Hades rushed over with his Kopides drawn. It seemed like he was watching. Themis stepped up to the barrier and Hades put his sword at her neck.
"You better not move," he sneered. His voice was full of venom. Themis quickly put her hands up and stepped back.
I checked the black flames. While they did grow, it was still under where Prometheus' arm was. And Gaea told me the fire would consume the barrier but until it traveled up it and finally destroyed it, the barrier would be in effect and a titan couldn't just crawl under.
Fear invaded my mind. Poseidon was useless, and Hades was still injured also useless. The Hundred Handed Ones couldn't even fight Hecate so I assumed they wouldn't be able to get close to Kronos.
With my foot, I drew Gaea's rune on the
floor. It was another circle but with a 'G'. All the primordials had one. Gaea appeared laughing.
"Well, I must say. This is a bit awkward."
"Gaea, what the hell happened," I grumbled. If the barrier fell, we were finished. I already see someone on a chariot fly out of the sun and towards Kronos throne.
"Don't worry Zeus. It only means that they were telling the truth and genuinely want to help you win this war. I expected something like that. So as long as they felt no ill intent towards you. They could enter. Like that donkey, Hestia brought on a leash. It hated you guys so it couldn't enter."
Hestia had snuck out and brought a female donkey for Poseidon. But it couldn't enter so we killed it in case it was a titan but nope. Just a regular, poor donkey. I only had three uses of the rune to call Gaea and I was fine if live animals couldn't enter. We had written it off as the barrier blocked everything but us.
"Don't worry." Gaea laughed. "While Hecate is indeed powerful, she's not strong enough
to stop primordial energy just like that.
Since it seems as if I'm no longer needed. I have to run the whole earth. Bye. And remember what I said. Alive and free." She eyed us all before vanishing in leaves again.
Hades had already dropped his sword and so did I. Trusting Gaea wasn't smart. But if we didn't trust her, she'd drop the barrier. She was also straightforward. If she wanted us dead, she'd just drop the barrier.
"Huh. I guess we can use a bit of information." I said.
Themis nodded and walked in the barrier with Prometheus right behind. They sat on the grass while Hades and I pulled up rocks and looked down at them.
"So what do you have?" Hades asked. He still had his Kopides ready.
Prometheus cleared his throat. "Hecate has found this sea creature while you were defeating Oceanus. She theorized its burnt entrails could kill immortals. With this, Kronos plans to kill you as soon as possible."
"And what do you want us to do with that?"
I asked.
