Chapter 266: Provocation

So we're searching through Timothy's treasury in his castle for loot that I can sell for money and the possibility of any plotinum which my eyes can't see any nearby and Dabria confirmed it.

We tried to go back home, but like my future self told us, it seems to have a cooldown"

"These are just regular treasures, very weakly enchanted" Zach observed "Azure can do better and he hates enchanting things. Draven, teach him better skills, Rex would treat him like a literal subject, so I trust that you will not do the same"

"Experience my dream and instead got myself a nightmare" Draven grumbled as Ace is very amused at his situation

"Zach, can give you him tips then?" Diana asked "You technically fathered Stella"

"Perseus fathered 4 children with 4 different women" Zach pointed out "And apparently they got plenty of siblings too, if anyone who knows about fathering a child more than me, it's him"

"Perseus, if you ever get to know how to time travel like your future self, teach me" Draven demanded

"Why are you all talking like I'm some pest?! Oi" Timothy the little demon king shouted

"Say, we got plenty of time, after this, what if we go to another random world before heading back home?"

-It sounds more fun than this world, so I'm in- Ace responded

"Nah, I'll go with another team after this, so we'll have to go back, your next team is with Maska and Jasper" Zach replied "And yeah, let's hope our next trip is more fun, I expected more from this world. The only good thing we got out of this world is a child for Draven which I ordered him to adopt."

"...Fascinating, isn't he?" Eros chuckled as he spectated over Perseus "He tends to pick interesting people to hang out with"

"He is" A goddess replied "What do you think, Tyche?"

"I find him quite exhilarating" Tyche laughed "Have you blessed him a lot, Nike? He seem to have a hard time losing battles"

Tyche is a goddess about 167cm tall, looks to be in her early 20s, blonde and green eyes And Nike is a goddess who looks to be about the similar age, 178 cm tall, brown hair, amber eyes and on her back is a pair of bright golden wings.

"No, then a fight won't be interesting if that happens now wouldn't it?" Nike replied "Eros, have you recruited our new allies, yet?"

"Of course, Apophis and Seth has accepted our offer" Eros laughed "Too bad Loki seems to have an interest in Perseus, he decided to take whatever side Perseus choose to ally himself, Hecate and Janus have also taken his side despite them being neutral gods most of the time"

"What about the archer gods?" Nike asked "They will definitely lower our chances of success, they can meddle with your arrows quite a bit"

"Ullr, Apollo and Artemis has also chosen his side" Eros answered

"To think that gods would ally themselves alongside a mortal...truly fascinating" Tyche laughed "I can't ruin his luck either, I've made his life terrible in his past life, so now he gets good luck to compensate for it. Have Nemesis answered our invitation?"

"No, she prefer to enjoy the midst of chaos like Ares. They would love to watch the show with popcorns" Nike responded "Though joining our side would be best, we have a guaranteed chance of success as long as I'm around"

"Hey, I think I got a suggestion on how we can beat Eros if he comes after me again" Perseus declared "It just occurred to me"

"How?" Zach asked "I may be a scholar and older than some gods, but even I wouldn't know a way to mess with him"

"We get the blessing of Nike"

-Don't ask me to make an arrangement, I do not know her at all, never talked to her and I doubt even Elektra can help you make an appointment- Dabria responded

"Hmm what a strange coincidence" Tyche commented

"Um, yeah, Perseus, I like the coffee you make for me and I sometimes like your attitude, but who the hell is Nike?" Draven asked "And how will they help?"

"She's the goddess of victory, we get her blessing and boom, we automatically win...or have a higher chance to anyway"

"And how will you meet her?" Zach asked

"Well since we can't get an arrangement, what if...what if I provoke her?" Perseus suggested "Once she's mad, she'll be here with eyes of blazing fury"

"Gods and goddesses get provoked all the time, I'm curious" Nike said as she rolled her eyes "I wish for him to try his best"

"Oh man, adidas is so much better, I mean just look at the logo" Perseus feint as he willed plot armor to have the adidas logo on his jacket "It's so much better than a tick mark named after a stupid MINOR goddess"

-Oh my Dabria, I can't believe that he's actually going for it- Diana slapped her forehead

-I can't believe that I actually date him in an alternate timeline- Dabria sighs

-I'll help you out here- Ace offered "Yeah, that logo look so nice, can't believe people would actually buy Nike, I mean what kind of brand name is Nike?"

-Yeah, I take back all I say about choosing the best bond- Damon facepalmed

-Just so you know, I will not be helping out here- Siege said -...It's embarrassing-

"Oh no, he knows her sore spot" Tyche glanced at Nike who appears to have a vein popped out of her head

"Don't worry...I'm...calm" Nike reassured while taking deep breaths "At least...I'm trying to..."

"I mean, adidas is just so much cooler and more comforting. The only reason people wear Nike is because they pity the MINOR goddess. Maybe she's a LOSER in actuality"

"That's it! I'm killing the boy. No one calls me a loser without getting blasted into dust" Nike declared and a bright light appeared at her place and she disappeared to the mortal world before Eros and Tyche can stop her

Elektra and Hypnos who are spectating him are very highly disappointed in Perseus and are somewhat amazed at his courage to intentionally provoke a goddess

"Maybe I should've been there for him" Hypnos sighs "It's common sense to not provoke Nike with that"

"Sorry master for not raising him better" Elektra apologized

"He gets that side from his mother I'm afraid"
