Chapter 332: Reconciliation

3rd person view

After Perseus, Brennon, and Dabria left Valentino's cave, Eros arrived in afterwards. He is quite intrigued for why Eros decided to go there since he knows no persuasion can help pull him to their side after he has made his mind.

"Why are you in my quarters, Eros?" Valentino asked "I can kick you out at any moment, even if I can't I can call enforcers on you, even you can't fight me and a few of them at once."

"But you didn't" Eros chuckled

"Do you want to kill me as another declaration of war perhaps? If so, I'm a neutral god, by killing me, other neutral gods with join your opposition, even you wouldn't want that"

"Oh no, why would I do that?"

"I'm just intrigued on why you're here." Valentino shrugged

"Have Perseus Silver got the 'Conqueror' ability?" Eros asked

"Just a few moments ago, yes."

"You should know how important the people with that ability are, they are always troublesome."

"I know." Valentino nodded "People like Napoleon had that ability, they always make their name known in history."

"Well I got the confirmation I need." Eros laughed "He got the 'Conqueror' ability."

"Just a question before you go, Eros" Valentino requested "I seem to have answered a question of yours, so I need one of mine to be answered too."

"If this is about our night at the last banquet, then I told you-"

"No not that." Valentino shook his head "What is the requirement for Eve's host?"

"Oh that, first and foremost, the person must be a woman who's powerful to not die when she stays in their body and second it's that the person and Adam's host must share mutual feelings." Eve answered "Huh...No wonder she didn't pick Eleanor."

"That's amusing." Valentino commented "Mutual feelings, huh?"

1st person view

So I'm having breakfast as usual but I'm supposed to not think of work for 2 weeks which is something I can't do. I kinda wanted to sleep in but at the same time, my head is severely occupied with a lot of things.

I tried to get my mind off by talking with everyone and catch up on any details that I missed the past few days.

Cain, pithos, underworld, Eden, Heracles...etc. Not everyday that you have to deal with those things, why can't the fates make me some sort of side character? They just had to give me 'Protagonist'.

| I thought you love being the protagonist. |

Shut up, I'm a hypocrite, alright?

-Worst protagonist in history, I already left you a 2 star review on Relp- Dabria joined in

-Now I'm curious, what's Relp?- Ace asked

-Reincarnate's Yelp?-

-Good guess- Dabria applauded sarcastically

-At least she gave you a 2 star review, so you're not the worst- Damon commented

"How is my weapon going?"

"It's going well, everyone is still trying to interfere with my work by trying to experiment on the large piece of plotinum, but it should be ready in 2 months or so." Eliza answered

"2 months? I thought it'll be longer."

"I still get lessons of Hephaestus, you know. I learn quick, I'm already the best smith of the kingdom."

"Probably the best in our current world too" Damon commented

"Would Nyx's suggestion of infusing it with Kronos' essence slow it down?"

"It shouldn't delay the progress by more than a week." Eliza answered "Are you sure you want to leave the weapon up to me? Do you seriously not have a specific weapon in mind?"

"I hate fate and stuff, but Phantasos said that you are fated to make the weapon I need so I'm seriously leaving it up to you. Now I just gotta find a way to somehow convince mom to come to the underworld. Lia, please come along to give us your blessing, but after us bathing in the Styx, I will have you come back here, Tartarus is too dangerous for you."

"Sure, I don't want to wander down there anyway." Lia replied "Though I thought that you're not supposed to think about work."

"It's the only thing keeping me sane right now, I'm still thinking about my previous birth mother. How am I supposed to get it out of my head? I can try forgetting it by asking Hypnos to suppress the memory but I'll just be on a long unforgiving search for an answer. I can't believe that I killed my own mother...

"Talk it out, we're here for you and it's not like we mind you crying either." Diana said

"No, I'll just deal with it. When my siblings died, I dealt with it alone and my birth mother was someone I barely knew anyway. It just take some time."

-Well that would be good but except you still took revenge for your siblings, and in this case you can't kill yourself for revenge, it'll be pointless- Dabria said

-Call Elektra, she will know how to deal with him.- Siege suggested

-Yeah, surprisingly she become one of his weaknesses.- Ace commented -I'm curious to the fates of the ones who insults her in front of us.-

We can then hear someone knocking on our door. I went ahead to open it and coincidentally enough it's auntie.

"You don't look that happy to see me." Elektra commented

"No, it's weird that you no longer hide yourself from the other gods."

"Oh I have no care for the opinions of the gods." she said as she hugged me "I only came and hid in secret before since I didn't think Eros knew, but now that he revealed that he knows, I might as well make my presence public."

I can then see the few people walking by staring at our direction. Elektra's presence probably is standing out as my enhanced hearing picked up their whispers.

"You reckon she's a goddess?" NPC #1 asked "She feels powerful and her looks can definitely qualify as one."

"I don't know." NPC #2 replied "Maybe his 3rd girlfriend."

"Okay guys, I can hear you." I shouted to them and they all scuttled away
