Chapter 313: I'm a big fan!

3rd person view

Dabria and Hecate left after a while leaving Nova to tell Elektra what Marella told him. Elektra's eyes then went wide open.

"Please keep this between us" Nova requested

"Oh you have my word," Elektra nodded "Though try to hold in your expression better, we don't want Dabria to get too suspicious."

"Exciting, isn't it?"

"Man, that boy, I never raised him like this. I know he's pretty good looking, but...3 wives. He's going to be better than both his fathers combined, they each have only 1 wife."

"By the way...is there a way for a remnant to become a mortal?" Nova asked "I do not wish to spend an eternity as only a leftover of someone else."

"Hmm that's fair, there is a way, but it will take a super long while. I can help you, but my schedule is filled with working for my master, an enforcer, and as a member on Eros' side" Elektra replied

"Oh take all the time you need. I plan on staying as a remnant till we all defeat Eros and his master anyway." Nova responded "Let's hope we can all live till the days of our victory."

1st person view

It took a full day before we got back to the hotel, we did some magic experiments on them and a lot of other things before I cast 'Curse of eternal damnation'. We can at least now rest well since we know that those guys will live the next few centuries suffering before their soul can go into their version of paradise or even hell.

I can sense that Albert and the rest have arrived, but I can sense something else. A presence of an unknown god along with them, a god stronger than Dabria and I think I know who this is.

-Guys, stop fighting the gorgers. Heracles!-

-Are you serious?!- Diana exclaimed

-Why would I lie to you guys?-

-Let me finish this up, I'll be right there.- Ace said excitedly

-Yeah, don't offend him, we want to meet him.- Damon added -Don't make him leave, give him all our money if you have to-

-That's a bit too far.- Siege commented

Zach seems to sense it too. I then cast 'hush'.

"Shit, why didn't my girlfriends call me?! I got no blood or stains on my clothes, right?"

"No, my turn" Zach replied

"There's lint on your shirt...there. let's go in."

"Yeah, Albert should have called you to inform you. We made the great Heracles wait for us."

*****

So anyways, my bonds warped back and we all sat admiring Heracles for a bit. He's a guy looked to be in his late 30s, 194cm tall, black curly hair, golden eyes and have a trimmed beard. He's muscular and wears the famous lion cloak.

-It looks hot with that cloak on.-

-Well it's a divine item now, it should help regulate the temperature like your plot armor does- Dabria explained

"Nice to meet you in person" Heracles greeted

"Oh my pleasure, and thank you for the pictures and autographs."

"It's really nice to see another Perseus. So you want to recruit me into your side, right? no thank you, I rather not involve myself in that war."

"But you're an enforcer." Zach pointed out "You're supposed to work for the council."

"Well I do have a right to refuse, I'll help them now fighting in minor skirmishes, but...when it's full scale war...I choose to value my own life." Heracles countered

"What if we-"

"Yeah, don't try to challenge me. I maybe very old, but I will not win against tricksters in games of wits, I'm smart but not that smart. I will take an actual fight though." Heracles interrupted Zach.

"We can't defeat you, it's literally impossible."

"Your future self easily can. I've seen him...or you, I guess." Heracles chuckled "Hah, why do all great people have a pretentious name like Perseus?"

"Come on, we need your help here, we need your sphere of influence and Eros got a literal goddess of victory on their team, help me out here."

"I would actually give you a challenge that if you can make me bleed, then i would join you, but..."

"But what? We know even plotinum swords can't pierce your muscles and armor, you're not Colden!"

"Nice try, but I know your abilities, you can make me bleed." he laughed as he drink a glass of wine.

"We tried before you came here." Albert chimed in "He's very stubborn."

"We even told him that you are big fans of his previous work." Aenon added

"Damn, any challenges for us to do then? Something that's like super impossible? Like if we do it, we get your allegiance?"

"Well I definitely got one" Heracles replied "...I want Pandora's pithos."

| For all of you out there who's going to say, "It's actually a box, you dumb or something?". Well...many stories suggested that it was a pithos alright, search it up. it's this container jar thing, so I will be referring to it as Pandora's jar or pithos for the upcoming future. |

"How am I supposed to find Pandora's pithos?"

"Yeah, and what do you need it for anyway?" Zach asked

"That's your task, you achieve that task, I'll definitely swear my allegiance" Heracles then got up "Though I think you know a goddess who at least have a connection with Pandora's creation."

I just sigh after I know the answer. My bonds seem to realize what I meant as well. Zach being the scholar also knows since I told him about that goddess.

"It's Aphrodite, isn't it? She did gifted Pandora with beauty and grace. No pun intended, since my name was also Grace."

"Your girlfriend over there is also close to Hephaestus, they will know. If you get it, give it to your goddess, she will know how to give it to me, " Heracles left our suite and disappeared.

"I hope you don't judge me for this, but bring me with you when you contact Aphrodite, it's not like I don't trust you, but she's a literal goddess of desires." Eliza said "I don't trust her that she won't pull anything when she's alone with you."

"It means that she doesn't trust you" Zach whispered "...Between your girlfriends and her, which one's hotter?"

"I'll offend one party no matter what I answer. You heard the stories of Aphrodite hating women who people prefer over her and these 2...They are trained by very well known gods, I'll also die."

"You do realize that the fact that you're avoiding the question is still going to get you in trouble, right?"

"I know, but at least it's better than death. Being a wandering soul is like hell."

"I get how you're feeling bro, it's cold and eerie."
