Chapter 231: Demons and gods (5)

3rd person view

"That black spell that slashed the demon lord in 2 just now is amazing" Eros applauded loudly "The damage to the surroundings would take a long time to even recover from, even with the help of magic to restore it"

"What do you want, Eros?" Zeus asked as he reluctantly release Perseus' collar

"I'm here to declare war, Zeus" Eros answered "I serve a master now, and this one demands for true chaos"

"You? Serve someone? You barely listen to your own mother's orders"

"Well it is how it is, Zeus. I had fun doing favors for you, making girls infatuate with you with nothing but my bow and arrow...or sometimes making them hate their spouses by taking away their love because you're jealous...but none of that matters now" Eros laughed "With me, it's like tossing a coin. These foot soldiers were supposed to be the one who will be conveying the message, but as it turns out...they're useless"

"What kind of war are we talking about here?" Zeus asked

"You will see, but just know that your side's council will never truly win. Every world will be plunge into true chaos, celestials, gods, titans...nothing will matter. But you want to know what's funny? He's one of the people who is fated to be able to stop us" Eros then pointed at Perseus

-My future self did all that? Damn he deserve more wives than that- Perseus said

-I hate to agree with you here or with most things but you have a point there- Dabria responded -Heck, you do that and even I'll become your wife-

-Wait, seriously?-

-No, I'm joking, I'll treat you normally then-

-Then how the hell have you been treating me to this point?!-

-Ah look, they're flirting like old times- Ace commented

"Him, a descendant of a sleeping god?" Zeus grabbed him by the collar again

"Trust me, Zeus. In the infinite timelines and parallel worlds, he stops us the most"

"Then why let me live?" Perseus asked

"Chaos, Perseus. We like a challenge, so we'll let you grow, Colden thought different so we left him out of the loop, so become a celestial, side with them. We look forward to it" Eros said before blinking out of the scene

"Damn it, now I actually can't kill you" Zeus cursed

"Wait you planned on breaking the rules?!"

"I'm Zeus, I do whatever I want"

"Hypnos should've made you fall a sleep for eternity"

"You're really tempting me to kill you" he snarled "I know that you're not gonna stop insulting me, so for now, electrocution would do as punishment"

1st person view

We are now holding a meeting and discussing our losses. My hair still smelled singed even after several showers, Dabria said that it will go away in about 2 hours since Zeus is strong.

-What the hell is with Greek gods? Why are they everywhere?-

-Don't ask me, the god community is huge- Dabria responded

"... And 1/3 of our forces is lost, mainly because of the demon lord's summon" Gia reported

"When can we do the test?" A small Rex asked "We finally got the medallion after all"

"You look cute" Alice commented

"Thanks, but you were right, if I wanted to win, I shouldn't have told him my strength and weaknesses" Rex said as he turned to me "Should take me about 2 weeks before I got back to normal"

"We'll start it soon" Zach answered "We can only do a small handful at a time, even non corrupteds will have their powers boosted and lifespan expanded. This medallion is priceless, and we'll be giving priority to us executives"

"That's only if they pass the test which would be different for each group" Maska pointed out "Some group will have to face one of the participants terrible past or something even worse, if the group fail, they'll die"

"Perseus, you can do it first" Zach offered "You are the MVP for this after all, and besides watching that god bully you was really funny"

-I'll get him back for this-

"Nah, I need a bit of rest. Besides I only did the finishing move, so I don't want all the credit."

"Heh, we've made enemies with the gods, now that's interesting." Erix laughed "Maybe my goal of fighting a god in their true form isn't that far after all"

"And I would like to become one, and maybe becoming a celestial is the first step" Gia chimed in

And now, I'm starting to feel pain again, similar to that time Jaxon and Paris got sent here.

-Woah, Perseus, you okay?- Damon asked

-Not this again, fuck-

"Not this again" Marella complained "Just how many of his children come this time? And why do I have to feel it too?"

*****

"So this is where dad used to live. I forgot the directions though" A girl said as she got into Neelofar "I remember that mom and him came here and he hit on the princess before he started dating her"

The girl is about 159 cm tall with brown hair, green eyes and a white streak in her hair. She then approached a food stall.

"Sir, do you happen to know a person by the name of Perseus Silver?" She asked

"Ah the hero who saved us from the leviathan attack? He lives in the capital" the stall owner answered "You would have to ask the palace guard for the specifics, though I doubt that they'll tell you. He's courting the princess, so I doubt they would give you directions"

"Um, give me 10 of that and another 10 of that please, I'm also kinda hungry" the girl's stomach then growled making the stall owner laughed

< But he never went out with the princess though, did my presence here change the past somehow and he's not dating mom? > the girl questioned <Must be the butterfly effect he taught me about, I know I should've paid attention. Maybe me eating that whole buffet changed my timeline>

*****

And at one of Neelofar's entrance, a guy is being detained and not let into the kingdom.

"But this is the updated ID" The guy argued

He is about 178cm tall, has white hair, brown eyes and he shares similar fashion senses with our protagonist, a hoodie, jeans, sneakers and all that. I'm too tired to read the script on my day off.

| You don't have a day off |

Well I deserve one.

"If that is the updated citizen ID of Neelofar, then I'm sure that us guards would've been informed, I mean, look at the that, that's many years from now." the guard countered "Besides, many people have tried associating themselves with the Silvers for money"

< Damn it! I knew that I should've sneaked in instead >

*****

The 2 finally managed to find the Silver's household. They then approached it and sees each other.

"What do you need from this household? And why do you have so many food on you?" The guy asked as he sees her holding bags of them with a few in her mouth

"I'm hungry, okay!" the girl countered "I need to grow taller"

"But you're an adult?"

"Just shut up and leave" the girl yelled as she finished her food in front of him with incredible speed

"Wow" the guy applauded "I'm actually impressed"

They both then sensed a similar aura just arriving to the house through a warp gate.

"Not this again" Perseus facepalmed the moment he saw the 2

"I was right to bond with you after all" Damon laughed "Oh this is hilarious"

"Dad!" the 2 shouted in unison before turning to each other

"Huh?" the 2 then turned to each other "He's not your dad...Stop repeating what I say!"

"Why me?" Perseus complained
