Chapter 390: Punishing Zeus

It sure did distract both Zeus and Hera alright, because that moment of shock surprised them that much, even Hecate herself got so shocked that she stopped doing what she planned on doing.

Dabria then pulled away after a few seconds.

"Well that was the distraction, what are you waiting for?!" Dabria shouted which snapped Hecate out of it.

She summoned a giant rock made of mana behind Zeus and a throne behind Hera with chains made of her mana binding them. Her torches then turned into some sort of flaming daggers and she threw them at Zeus and Hera, piercing their heart and nailing them to the throne and rock.

The torches then flew back towards her hand as Zeus and Hera are chained to the throne and Rock and can barely move as they resisted.

"Where's the eagle to feast on his liver?"

"No, I plan on castrating him." Hecate replied as she took out a small dagger "It'll be permanent this time. It'll scare him off a while, and besides, without it, he'll be more productive."

"Umm, can I not watch? I'm a dude, so watching you do that is like a nightmare come through.

"Do you think I was here willy nilly? You see, the forces of literal chaos is upon us, a war lead by Chaos itself needs not just a prophesized hero, but also an army." Hecate responded "The council has accepted a proposal by Horus and has decided that Zeus have been disregarding the rules too much while the war is upon us, so in order to get him on track and be more productive, they have tasked me with an assignment of castrating him. So now, without it, he should have lesser interest in fooling around and actually do some work."

Hera's eye shone somewhat, by castrating Zeus, he would no longer be able to cheat on her, he can flirt or try to seduce them, but he can forget about getting physically intimate with them. Zeus on the other hand looks terrified.

"You can do it yourself, your new sword is more than enough." Hecate suggested "Or I can do it for you since it was my assignment anyway."

"What about Hera? That's an imitation of what Hephaestus did to her, right?"

"I'll release her after we leave." Hecate answered "Dabria, you can both go to Prometheus now, I'm sure that you got what you needed."

Zeus isn't taking this lying down as lightning struck at where he's at and breaking his bonds apart. Luckily I was cautious and prepared for such a scenario as the moment he got free, I did a jump knee kick to his face knocking him backwards.

As he stumbled backwards, I was still in the air. With my sword, I spun towards is direction and slashed my sword down, I not only cut his face but a wave of light and flames pushed him far back, destroying everything that is in the way, leaving a large track of destroyed dirt.

Author's POV

"We got you Baeli."

Me and the narrator have managed to corner Baeli in an alleyway's dead end. I know, it's very cliché, but we've finally found her.

"Yeah, come back with us. We don't want to do anything to you, let's just go home safely."

"Author, I don't want to fight either." Baeli replied "But I need to avenge my brethren, I know I have seen you warn him. I appreciate you, but unfortunately for you author. I don't plan to do anything to him now, after he defeats Chaos, I will make sure he suffers eternal torment."

"Look, Baeli, let's just go home and maybe we'll just put the author further in debt as we use his money to heal your brethren." the narrator chimed in

"Go warn him if you like, him and his bonds will face punishment." Baeli advised

She then disappeared in a puff of smoke. Damn her, she's the only one who I can't control to my will.

"Damn it, author, she got away again." The narrator cursed "Let's just go warn Perseus of the danger heading his way after Chaos."

Back to MC's POV...

Despite me and Hecate's ability of 'Absolute magic control' restricting his use of magic, Zeus is still strong. He still has his ability to control the sky, the wing and electricity. And his lightning bolt(The one crafted by the original elder cyclopes) is extremely deadly.

He can point it at us to shoot out high powered bolts or he can throw it at us like a javelin, once it hits a target and cause a huge explosion, it would manifest itself again in his hand. Dabria got hit by one of his throw earlier, unlike me who had the curse of Styx, it blew her far away and made her crash against the tree shaking it.

He throw it again and I jumped toward it and grabbed it, spun and throw it at Hera. Zeus saw that and jumped to block the shot, it hit him and explode but he isn't affected by his own lightning bolt. I can then see that my hand is slightly charred from that slight touch. He then charged at me with his body clad with lightning.

< Void of eternal nightmare>

He threw out his fist at high speed, I arch myself slightly to the left, and throw a right overhand hook to his face. He then went dazed for a second as I then did a double roundhouse kick to his face. His over reliant on his equipment like the lightning bolt and his reliant his magic would be the cause of his lost today.

With Hecate on the scene and the powers I got by being her descendant would restrict his use of magic, and I am highly trained in melee combat, so even if he's stronger than me physically, I can still find a way to overpower him.

I then manipulate the void to create hundreds and hundreds speck of lights in the sky.

< Star magic: Million light bullets > I casted as all those specks shot towards him at high speed and piercing trough his body many times over.
