Chapter 385: Hera

So the god identified himself as a minor god of strength who volunteered to do this job. I knelt by his side and slowly take on the weight as he escaped from the burden. I then felt all the pain going on my back and my arms all at once.

"My name is Ethan." the god introduced himself

"What a...regular name."

"The author ran out of names, so I'm Ethan, but you will have my word that I will return after a week. I will have another god to help, maybe also a soft pillow to help the crushing weight."

I seriously thinking on why the gods can't just make the heavens stay in place since this seriously hurts. My regenerative ability is trying to ease my pain, but I get only a short relief every like minute as Dabria...is setting up a fucking picnic right next to me.

-You bitch!-

-Oh, you're not going to talk aloud?- She asked as she took a bite of a sandwich and taking a drink -Want some? It's with your favorite of spicy mayo.-

-I hate you.-

-Yes, I love you too, now please also focus on the garden, we need to know the layout a bit before I can attempt to retrieve one.-

-That's your job!-

-And entertaining the gods is yours, I'm also one of them.-

This goddess, I swear, anyway, I used my eyes to look at the garden from far away and basically it's just a regular garden tended by nymphs and minor goddesses. The tree is several meters tall and there were a lot of golden apples, we just have to get one of them to take to Prometheus. It is guarded by a large white serpent like dragon.

| In pictures, the tree itself is a pretty regular size tree, but I altered it to be like this because it's more convenient this way. |

I could barely think straight as I hold this stupid thing up, time seems to move really slow, this shit sucks.

-Oh, hmm, Zeus seems to have arrive and is coming our direction.- Dabria commented

I can start sensing that familiar presence too from far away, what does this bastard even want.

"What's your goal in doing this?" Zeus asked as he approached me "Why did you insult me and then somehow choose to do one of the worst punishments possible?"

I then just told my answers to Dabria who will interpret it for me since it's really hard to speak with the whole sky weigh on your back. If only 'Ferocity' can activate during time of stress, then maybe my strength would be much stronger, though I'm already having a hard time activating it due to the fact that I'm basically invulnerable.

"He said that it's to impress your wife." Dabria answered him in my stead "Hey, it was all him, don't give me a death glare."

"Impress her? You seriously think that I hadn't try to show off my muscle strength when I try to woo her?"

"He said that considering the many different version of myths of how you 'wooed' her, he really doubt that she still have any sort of feelings for you, probably doesn't even think of you as a little brother anymore. There's probably no spark between you 2 and it won't be long till she file a divorce."

"Boy, you seriously piss me off." The sky on my back then boom with a loud thunder.

Zeus' body become clad with lightning and his eyes lit up blue. He's probably not used to people insulting him to his face and getting away with it. He can try to hit me away but the sky would come crashing down before he can escape and it would destroy Hera's garden.

Since he would become the cause of it, Hera would really divorce him and even he can't fault her for it. He can try to stop it, but he would be stuck holding this thing up, I bet Prometheus would just give up the pithos for free since we managed to punish Zeus for once. Even he wouldn't want to hold this whole shit up.

And not just that, Nyx would be pissed and the council wouldn't protect him, he is expected to deal with his own enemies. The Olympians would, but even they're scared of the primordials.

"Not used to...rebellious attitude, huh, sucker." I joked to his face which is now red with rage.

He then took a few deep breaths to calm down and turned to Dabria.

"Ah sorry for losing control of myself, young lady." he apologized "Say, I haven't formally-"

"Stop" Dabria interrupted him "I know what you're trying to do and let me be frank, I would rather go out with Perseus here a million times before even just shaking your hand. You seriously disgust me."

< I like this goddess. >

The sky then boomed again and we can see a goddess descent. The goddess looks to be in her early 30s, 170cm tall, has long black wavy hair and light brown eyes. Her facial feature is similar to that of Zeus which just creeped me out even further.

"Ah Hera!" Zeus exclaimed in shock

< I need a checklist on the gods I meet throughout my life and on a daily basis >

"Hera, he tried to flirt with me, so please don't unleash your anger on me and do it on him instead." Dabria said quickly "Don't make me end up like those other goddesses."

-You really are quick to save your own ass, huh. What happened to your earlier smug attitude while setting that stupid picnic up?-

-Shush- she retorted -You seriously want to mess with Hera? Even Zeus is scared of her rage sometimes.-

She then took a bit of her chocolate ship cookie.

"Don't worry, I saw." Hera reassured "Though I'm also curious, why are you holding up the sky and how did you find this world? This world was blocked earlier and the nymphs of my garden were threatened to not help Ares, you should also know that Eros was here earlier. I know that answer about impressing me earlier was a lie."
