Chapter 39, 40: Ares Talk

Two months have passed since I managed to create armor that constantly stores the sun's radiation.

In these past two months, I have deepened my bond with my crew and have also done several projects that I intend to put into operation when New Krypton is born.

I often talked to Kryptonians when I had free time, I asked their thoughts about the ship, the situation of surviving Kryptonians, etc.

The interactions were always a basic conversation and not very deep, I did it on purpose, I have two reasons.

I intend to be a symbol of Krypton, a god, something they must be devoted to.

I have to be an unreachable existence and at the same time an existence that is always close to all Kryptonians.

I must be an existence that shows the way and takes the first step towards that path.

All Kryptonians must follow me and support me on this path that I choose.

I must become a symbol of greatness and at the same time a hope for a better future, but I must also never forget that my people make me what I am today.

After all, I can't be a 'king' if I don't have any subjects.

I keep these thoughts with me all the time, I cannot be arrogant and let this arrogance cloud my judgments ...

While looking at the Amazonian island, I look at Faora who is beside me. Different from a few months ago, Faora's hair grew to her shoulders. She took my words very seriously, isn't she cute?

These past two months have been very interesting for the development of Faora.

Now, I can say that Faora has undergone a change in mentality, she also finally understood her position.

I am currently the 'King' of Krypton. In the future, I intend to be the 'Emperor' of various civilizations and races.

And Faora is my lover/wife. All Kryptonians on this ship know this fact, after all, I didn't mean to hide anything.

With just that information, she understood something basic. She is the second Kryptonian who has more authority on this ship, of course I am the first, and Zod is the third.

It took three months, but she finally changed her mindset from warrior to that of a ruler. Of course she didn't completely lose her warrior essence, after all, that is part of her.

But now, she has the minimum requirements to be called a ruler, she still has a long way to go to become the 'empress' I want her to become.

I divert Faora's attention and look at the Amazonian island, Themyscira.

Themyscira is interesting ... The more I learn about this place through the ship's scans, the more I have unanswered questions.

I don't know if it's true, but Themyscira is supposed to be a holy place.

Why do I think that? A few months ago, I got an interesting recording. I saw an Amazon that was dead be 'reborn' again, the process took place as if the Amazon was going back in time, it was something very similar to Ares.

For example, if an Amazon dies in Themyscira, they will be resurrected in less than a few days. I realized that this only worked with the Amazons, after all, the soldiers who invaded Themyscira are still dead.

My theory is that the queen of the Amazons can control this phenomenon that happens across the island.

Amazons are immortal while in Themyscira. That was the obvious conclusion that I thought.

This skill is very useful, just imagine training without worrying about dying? You can reach any physical limit with ease, not just that.

If you bring your enemy home, you have basically won the war.

Of course, I speak this with shallow thoughts, I know that in a war there are several factors that must be included.

What would happen if I blew up the entire island? Would they be able to resurrect again? There are many factors that I still don't know.

I learned a lot about the 12 Olympians, all thanks to my new friend Ares.

It took me a long time to get some useful information from Ares, but that information was worth it. Ares was also not completely useless, thanks to the several hours of relentless torture Faora reached a new level in her torture skills.

Ares told me about the main gods of Olympus, that was something I already knew, but to hear personally from a 'god' is very different from knowing about it from a book made by humans.

"Zeus, my father, in a nutshell, he is a bastard with a pride that can cross galaxies." Ares spoke while drinking a bottle of Kryptonian drink.

"Hera, my mother and wife of Zeus, she is a vindictive woman, but I do not blame her. After all, she is always betrayed by my father, as the goddess of marriage, my father's act of betrayal must be unbearable for her." Ares spoke with a laugh: "She is a loyal woman, she never betrayed Zeus. Honestly? If she wasn't married to Zeus, I would take her as my wife. "

"..." I raise my eyebrows at what Ares said. It reminds me of the old Kryptonian empire, as our race valued the purity of blood, incest was something practiced by these more extreme families, but, different from Ares, that it was something more pragmatic. It was something without emotion involved, we just believed that if we have incestuous relationships the child would be born stronger.

But I can tell by the tone of Ares that what he feels for his mother is just sexual desire.

"Why didn't you go after your mom? Don't you want her as a wife? "

"You are crazy? I don't want Zeus's wrath, if he knows that Hera has betrayed him with his son, he will chase me to Tartarus if necessary! "

"...."

"..... Let me see if I understand, Zeus cheated on Hera with other women, right? After all, he has several children, but doesn't he want Hera, the woman who's always been betrayed, to do something like him? "

Ares nods: "See? Isn't he a hypocritical bastard? "

"..."

"He's just an animal. If all the stories I read about Zeus are true, he's just a powerful kid playing with mortals. He doesn't deserve to be called God-King."

"Hahahahahahaha, I agree with you !!"

I narrow my eyes at Ares. After all, I also know that he is just like his father... The gods of Olympus are lost, they are just children with great powers. The very title of 'god' is something they do not deserve nor should they carry.

I read all the books that I found on Greek mythology, if the content that is written in those books is 100% true ... I will probably go to war with the Olympians ...

After all, they are just spoiled children who have great powers, and when a spoiled child wants something, they just take that 'something'.

And if a god has that attitude towards my people ... War is the only option.

If there is a possibility of war with the Olympians, I must prepare. I look at Ares seriously, if only he did not have such a strong mental defense ...

"Continue." I say.

"Hmm? Oh, right ... Poseidon, he's my uncle, he's an envious bastard, and he likes to fuck sea animals. Every now and then we drink together, after all, he shares my hatred for Athena. " He spoke the last part in disgust.

"Athena, that whore, she is just a whore who thinks she is very smart. It was very gratifying to see her cursing Medusa out of envy, hahahaha."

The tale of Medusa, huh? That tale sums up the personality of the Greek gods well.

"Demeter, she is my aunt. She is a beautiful woman with long blond hair, she has a very seductive body. I took her to me when she was resting one day, she and I had a son." He spoke with nostalgia.

"The twin siblings Apollo and Artemis, they like to talk about the lives of the other gods. My opinion about Apollo is neutral, but Artemis is a crazy bitch obsessed with her brother."

"....."

I sigh, my opinion about these 'gods' is at the bottom. I can't just judge them by what Ares says, I have to meet these gods personally and draw my own conclusions, but all the information points out that these' gods' are all rotten ...

"Hephaestus, he is my brother, he is an ugly but skilled man, he is Aphrodite's husband."

"Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. She is very beautiful, she has long blonde hair similar to my mother's, she has a curvy body, big breasts, and she is a sexual beast in bed. She was forced to marry Hephaestus, as I am a good man, I could not let my sister suffer at the hands of that ugly man. " He explained in a very detailed way.

".... And because of that, did you have sex with Aphrodite?" I spoke in a neutral tone.

"Of course!! She is hot, she is a beast in bed, even my father was interested in having sex with Aphrodite. He just was unable to have sex with her, because of Hera who always protected Aphrodite. " He spoke in an extremely serious voice.

"..." I look towards the ceiling of the room, I think this is what humans call a culture shock?

The actions of these gods are only driven by desire, they are the opposite of us Kryptonians ..... As a future emperor, I must understand all the thought processes of the races and civilizations that I encounter in the future, this is a teaching that is rooted in my mind.

Sigh...

According to what I've learned so far about Olympians, they are just selfish and destructive beings. They just don't destroy themselves because they are immortal.

I lower my head and look at Ares neutrally: "Continue."

Ares takes another sip from the drink bottle.

"Hermes, he is the messenger of the gods, he can go anywhere on Olympus. He is quite useful when you want to send a message to a secret lover."

"Dionysus, he is the god of wine and parties. If you want to have a party well done, you have to call Dionysus. This drink is good, but it does not compare with Dionysus."

Realizing that he stopped talking, I understand that he won't say anything else, I get up from the chair. "See you another day, Ares. I have work to do. " I speak while walking towards the exit.

"Oh ... Okay .... Hey!! Can you tell your torturer to stop torturing me? Recently, she is learning very nasty methods of torture. "

I look at Ares and give a small smile. "Of course, I will ask her to stop torturing you." I spoke while highlighting the word 'ask'.

"Oh! Thank you."

I nod and leave the torture chamber.

"Faora, increase the level of torture, find new methods of torture. Try to cut his male organs into pieces." I speak in a neutral tone.

"I already did that. I got some reaction when I tortured his genitals, but he still hasn't uttered a cry of pain. He just moved his expression a little." She spoke with a slightly annoyed expression.

"Hmm, try to put liquid uranium on his genitals."

"... This is a good idea."

I look at Non, who was holding his private parts with a slightly uncomfortable expression. "What's the matter, Non?"

"It's nothing, My Lord."

"If you're feeling bad, I can give you a break."

"It is nothing, My Lord." He repeated it again in a serious tone.

I just nod and continue talking to Faora.
