Chapter 425: Summoned by the council

"That's your first thought?" Morpheus asked

-Yeah, like what's wrong with you?- Diana scolded

-I mean he was telling the truth at least.- Ace commented

"Yeah, I even got on my uniform and everything." Elektra said as she then returned to her more casual wear which really is similar to me a bit since she's wearing a yellow oversized hoodie, black pants and running shoes. "But the lance is just part of the uniform, I don't really use it."

"So they just made me an Olympian without my permission, the summoning by the council sounds interesting. When do I have to meet them?"

"2 days." Elektra answered "Should be enough time to prepare then."

"So it seems like despite declining the seat of Olympus still gave me the position anyway, I bet temporarily, but what do I do?"

"You can just continue as you always have. But with some extra responsibilities which is now forced on you." Morpheus replied "You are now given the alias as the lord of creation. But your job is to protect this world and prevent any attacks that can come to it, you are allowed to create a temple for yourself and get worshippers if you like."

"You know, due to auntie's frequent visit and Dabria's rare appearances, Neelofar is now known as a kingdom where gods would visit, and if I were to create a temple, I'll just attract more of those guys looking for a god. But that's it?"

"You will have to discuss with the Olympians for that." Morpheus shrugged "They hired you, half of their members are members of the council of gods, you'll meet them soon enough."

"Congratulations, my boy." Elektra said as she ruffled my hair "You are now my master's boss since you're an Olympian now, which also technically make you my boss. You are the only celestial ever to hold a similar position to a god."

"Yeah, if a celestial make people worship him without the gods' permission while claiming to be our equal, death would have been an easy way out." Morpheus added

"So wait..." Dabria cut in "Does this mean he's technically my boss?"

"Well he's part of the Olympus council, but not the council of gods which is the one with the highest authority, but with his current influence, he may very well be."

"Does this mean I have to marry Athena?"

"I don't know how you came to that since she's a maiden goddess, but ask Olympus, not us."

Pegasus then landed after a while and was curious about Morpheus and Elektra so they sort of asked to play with them and if they can teach them magic. John and Olivia arrived at the royal stable a bit later to pick them up.

"You know, it might be rude for me o say this, but...I'm so desensitize to seeing gods nowadays." Olivia said

"Well better get used to it, our boy Perseus here has just earned himself a position amongst our ranks, he doesn't seem to like it much though." Morpheus replied

"So I have to treat him like a god?"

"Not necessarily, but his ranks would indicate so."

-Just for the record, I will not treat you as my superior, I will do the opposite.- Dabria chimed in

-Can't you at least be a bit nicer to him? Doesn't he deserve it?- Damon asked -I don't know, give him a flower or something instead of insulting him.-

-I'm the oldest one here, I do what I want.- she replied

"Well uncle John, how do you want to get home today, Pegasus, Arion, or warp?"

*****

It really is relaxing to just sleep all day long, you know one of those great moments where your pillow is somehow perfectly cold and soft all of a sudden, yeah, it's one of the best feeling in the world except that those moments are always ruined since you always have a situation that forces you to get up.

I can see that my retirement will feel really nice in the future if I can slack off like this for years, maybe I can just make a home in the realms of gods and use my position to hire servants to serve me and do everything for me.

Damon seems to be going easy on his training these days since I don't even think I heard him get out of his room this morning as his victory for the battle royale for the dragon throne is almost guaranteed unless Erix found himself breaking his way in somehow and give Damon a fight for his life.

Cain hasn't killed himself yet, which is abnormal since he was waiting for this, just what is he doing that's taking him this long?

"You're not going to get up today?" Lia asked as she woke up

"It's my day off before I get busy again."

"Well then you can stay home with me since I'm also not going to work today." Eliza responded

"Why don't you both just go help me at the office today?" Lia suggested "We can spend time together and help me work."

"Or distract you further." I joked

My bonds and I are granted entry into the realms of the gods. And this time we are invited into Olympus with a proper invitation, Athena is giving me the tour and showed me to my quarters where Dabria complained that I got a bigger one. I would save it for now and make it one of my living space later.

"I don't have to get married with you, right?"

"No, but my offer is still on the table. Us forcing you to have the throne is a very controversial thing to do." she replied "Marrying me would make all of the chaos slowly dissipates."

We then headed for the throne room where there are currently 11 thrones there and I was given the spot of the far right which is currently empty, I'm supposed to request a specially made one from Hephaestus which I can make it look however I want.

Because all the thrones of the other 11 all look different from each other, with their symbols, different materials, but none looks comfortable for my liking. When I told Hephaestus my request, he made a face that looked like he got smacked in the face with a hammer.
