Chapter 129 - 120: The Revenge of the Neglected (1/2)

Zeus sneered, and said, ”Do you really think I'll believe that? You and my son tried to overthrow me once, and I'll be damned if I let that happen again! I'll give you a month to bring me back my master bolt, and if you haven't given it back to me by then, you will have a war in your hands, Poseidon.” Then he promptly disappeared in a flash of lightning.

Poseidon sighed and slumped his back on the ground, then said, ”If only I didn't try to overthrow him back then, this wouldn't have happened. Brother is too cautious whenever I am near him, and he is too overprotective of his throne. Tch, how am I going to inform Percy about this.”

He regretted trying to overthrow Zeus, and he has no excuses for it. He was a bit too greedy back then, and wanted the throne for himself along with Apollo. They failed, quite spectacularly of course. Zeus completely obliterated the both of them, he was just too damn powerful! It's almost unfair how powerful the God of the Sky is compared to all of the other Greek Gods.

Zeus can even take on their uncle, Atlas, on a stalemate! It would even take 6 gods just to seal Atlas, and their brother managed to get on a stalemate with their uncle! It's almost unbelievable, but they guessed that sometimes, reality can be unfair to gods too.

”You seem troubled,” A male voice sounded on his right.

”Yeah, it has been tough fo- wait! Who are you!?” He quickly stood up to look at the one who talked to him.

There sat in front of him was a male, seemingly at the age of 20 or so, has long dark hair with the end of his hair highlighting bright white hair. He wore normal clothing that could barely be different from the average man. From his looks, he seems asian, a japanese to be specific. He wore a smile on his face, as if a kid who just saw the latest new toy in a market.

He bowed slightly as he said, ”Hello there, god of the sea, I am who you can call a god as well. A deity, but stronger than you and your family of greek gods, though I have been just a god for about 6 days. I'm a newborn in terms of being a god, but I'm more of a god than you.”

Poseidon didn't like how he just said all of that without breaking his smile. It was as if he was looking down on him from just how many he said the word ”God”.

”And what're you doing in our territory?” He asked calmly, not wanting to piss off another god.

”I just arrived here, actually. I don't even know much about this world, and this universe. But seeing greek gods here, I can guess a few theories. Anyway, I decided to reveal myself to know more about this world, and gods are the most informed species in the entire world. I want to know more about this world, and if you oblige to do just that, I will owe you a favor. How about that?” Hikaru said, trying to strike a deal with the greek god.

He could just, you know, extract Poseidon's memories and learn what this world is, but by doing that, he will have to absorb thousands of years of memories. He'd rather save himself from a very painful headache, thank you very much. Besides, he can probably make them his friends, and maybe strike a few ”meetings” with the beautiful goddesses here. Kami and Yami were beautiful, at least more beautiful than his wife, but they didn't strike as women who satisfy their l.u.s.t by having an intercourse with men. They were lesbians, but that's a different story for another time.

For the god of the sea, he didn't take the young god's words seriously. After all, what can a newborn god give him, an old god who has experienced everything that this world has to offer?

Hikaru smirked in his head, having read the older god's mind. There's a plethora of things he can offer. A very powerful weapon that could outclass the master bolt, or adding 1 millions years of lifespan to his.

Suddenly, Poseidon widened his eyes, and said, ”You read my mind, didn't you!?”

”I'm quite surprised, you sensed that? Well, if you didn't, I wouldn't have treated you as a god. I am capable of more things. I can give you the throne of the King of Gods, if you want. Just give me the information I need about this world, and I'll owe you a favor,” This time, he smirked, ”That one favor from me is the most precious treasure you'll ever gain in your lifetime. So, what is your decision?”

Poseidon, though, is now acting cautious towards the young god. It's obvious that he is dangerous, just from how he read his mind earlier. He still didn't take his words seriously, out of how ridiculous it is.

”Say, who are you? A normal young god wouldn't have been able to read my mind.” He asked, more cautiously than before.

Hikaru sighed, and said, ”I guess you wouldn't believe me unless I show some of my powers. Very well.” With a snap of his fingers, time stopped. Everything in the world stopped moving, except for the two of them.

”Wha- what are you!?” Poseidon screamed frantically after sensing that his brothers and sisters also stopped their movement. This is dangerous, this man might just be related to his father, Kronos.

He shook his head, and said, ”No, I am not related to Kronos, so don't misunderstand. I am only here to gain more information about the other side of this world, where the myths and legends live.”
