Chapter 415: I am speed

Arion saw us resting and approached us.

"Tired already? It's been only a few days." he chuckled "I'm disappointed in you brother, you're more famous than me, please live up to your reputation."

"Famous, not fast. I can fly which you can't." Pegasus agreed "Can you change the condition to 2 seconds?"

"No, because that's actually possible for your current status. Perseus here is almost as fast as Hermes."

"I hate this beast, this is the first one I actually hate." professor Emma complained

I then quickly stopped time then and there and with my gauntlet on, I grabbed him by the tail and used the power of time to slow him down, he then started to move again and quickly this time, I barely held him down before he managed to kick me to loosen my grip.

"That's 4 seconds."

He then ran, he's still faster than me, but not that much faster, I could almost catch him with the stretch of my hand but he got away. When time moved normally again, I ran back to our group who doesn't look surprised at all about our earlier sudden disappearance.

"4 seconds, pride is going to be his downfall. By taunting us earlier, he got too confident and approach closer forgetting my ability. He'll come again since I'm the only one who can make him go normally again."

"The power of time is seriously dangerous." professor Emma commented "Don't abuse it."

"I can make you look younger if you want."

"That is rude. How old do you seriously think I am?"

"Mid 30s?"

"Hah, he's right." Wally laughed

"I mean you look great though, you look younger than your age. Don't glare at me, I'm also technically in my 30s, I'm around your age."

-And yet you still behave like a child.- Dabria grumbled

-Why do you insist on always starting an argument?-

-I was just pointing out the truth.-

-You're the reason why we're not dating, you know.-

-Shut it.-

After that rest, we departed to different parts of the world and set up traps and stuff, with time slowed on Arion, his thinking should also be slower which helps a bit even if it's still fast considering how fast we think.

I kept running after him, I got closer and closer each time, but I get tired after a long while and definitely hungry since I'm not immortal like Arion, I ate more than everyone. We tried using the ice to our advantage but nothing.

Arion would constantly flash next to us to deliver a powerful kick to discourage us and blow us far away. I was probably his biggest threat, because every night that we rest, we give each other reports of how many we got hit, I got hit more than everyone combined.

But one day, I managed to land a hit, you know the thing about they are only able to hit them the exact moment they hit you? That's what I did, sometimes, my prediction goes wrong, so I punched either at the wrong timing or the wrong direction or even both.

So I finally landed a hit against his hoof and my strength was much stronger than his and blew him back. I then charged in and deliver a right hook to Arion and knock him out. I quickly got out the chains that I collected from the prison in Tartarus and chained Arion who is currently unconscious.

"I...am speed-"

| Seriously? |

"My name is Perseus Silver, and I am one of the fastest man alive. I was betrayed by fellow soldiers in my past life and was even at one point, wrongfully blamed for the death of my siblings. In my current life, I am destined to fight Chaos and-"

| Seriously, stop it. |

*****

-We did it!- Adam cheered as everyone gathered at my location.

"Are you not going to heal him?" Pegasus asked "He lost a few teeth. Your chains seem to managed to cancel out his healing completely."

"Nah, let him feel that pain for every time he kicked the crap out of all of us

Arion woke up howling in pain at his broken tooth, it was a bit too loud so I restored his teeth and injuries for him.

"Well...oh man I'm hungry. Let's take Arion with us and deal with God. God! I know you're watching, meet us in Neelofar's stable, I'll bring these guys there."

*****

We got to Neelofar and Damon holding the chained Arion in the stable definitely attract a lot of attention, but rumors somehow already been spread that I managed to tame the first ever pegasus, and right now, there are tons of the castle's staff trying to get a glimpse of him.

Struan came later to greet us alongside God.

"I just know he's a god and that's it." Struan said "Percy, I have a lot of shit I want to say to you right now, but I'll save it for later."

"How did you even managed to tame the first ever pegasus?" he asked

"Umm apple pies?"

"You're kidding...right?"

"He isn't, unfortunately." professor Emma sighs

I then demonstrate it by taking out a whole apple pie and present it to Pegasus who ate it to prove my point.

"Well you managed to do the impossible by gaining the affection of my sister, I'm not even that surprised anymore." he shook his head

"Congratulations." God applauded "In 2 days, Cain shall become mortal again like he wishes. Whether you choose to die of old age or end himself early is completely up to you, Cain. As for Paradise that Adam and Eve wants, well Arion here has been there, and he may very well go there again, so I'll be leaving him with you."

God then create a bridle out of midair and put it on Pegasus and warp away leaving the rest of us in that stable.

"You sure that you're just going to let that guy go off with the first pegasus?" Struan asked

"He'll return, don't worry, I even got a Nexus with him."

"Will he even want to stay underwater? I mean, we have horses, but barely since they feel restricted down here."

"Don't worry, he's a son of a sea god, he'll be fine."

"He's related to me?" he freaked out "You're saying that I'm related to a horse?"

-Different gods but...-

"Yes."
