Chapter 428: Heart

"You need to give me one of your plotinum items." Hecate requested as I met up with her in secret "I can replicate its effect during the banquet."

"Just one?"

"Yes." she nodded "I can use one to replicate the effect of all your equipments, but there's a time limit to it, Chaos would be able to use it for a short while after she takes over. BUT I can make sure that there is some curse that comes with it after it runs its course."

"How will you even touch it? Even gods can get affected by it."

"I'm a goddess of witchcraft, Perseus. I've done many questionable things to acquire power. My worshippers are the same, Medea is a good example. In term of descendants, you are one too. The amount of people you killed have surpassed even my expectations."

"Fair enough, so when should I give it?"

"Just right before the banquet will do, I have done a lot of preparation with Zach and even then, we will finish just shy a week before the banquet, you will have barely enough time to get used to it."

"You can have my ring then. Though just a question, there are no time cops or wardens that will come after my ass, right?"

"Do you seriously want to extend this novel that much?" Hecate asked "Shouldn't the 4th wall mistress suffice as the final boss for this joke of a novel?"

| I'm offended. |

The moment I got home, my bonds seems to have me in a corner again trying to figure out what I'm hiding from them, it's easy that no matter what they did, I have no plans on telling them whatsoever.

So they sort of forced me to visit Kenny which I didn't mind at all. They said that he may be one of the people who can probably forced it out of me. I got into the house and headed to Kenny's room and knock on it.

"Who's there?" Kenny shouted in a muffled voice

"This is the protagonist speaking. You're not naked, are you?"

"Why would I be naked?!"

I opened the door to see him on a phone call, he forgot to turn off the screen but I saw the glimpse of the name.

"Dude."

"Shit, I keep forgetting that you possess some godlike powers now." he cursed

"You're hitting on Stella. I can't believe you."

Even though it doesn't have a speaker phone, I can clearly hear her voice.

"I'm my own woman." Stella said "Don't tell me what to do. I'm coming, wait right there!"

"How often does she come visit? You 2 haven't done anything, right?"

"There are lines I don't cross man, why are you here?" he asked

"Well this brother of yours is hiding something from us, we want you to get it out of him." Damon answered

"Have you tried torture?"

"How are we supposed to torture someone who can't get hurt?" Siege questioned "So emotional damage is the best we can do, but...he's very immune against it."

"Fair enough. Living with 2 girls does that to a man." he nodded "Well Perseus or Grace or whoever you are, what are you hiding?"

"I'm an Olympian now, I need to get back to my jo-" I tried to walk away but Damon just grabbed me by the collar to stop me

"You have advisers and aides to do your job." Diana said

"That's the demon kingdom and the Crimson kingdom."

-I already called Hygeia to help, so spill it.- Dabria demanded -Elektra is also helping, you are more than free.-

-You can't call for help either, this cave is heavily protected against gods.- Ace added

I can then sense the arrival of Stella who came in nicely dressed, no make up though. Kenny blushed a bit and when she saw his flustered face, she became somewhat shy too.

"Ay you 2! No flirting, Zach may not be here to stop it, but I'm here. If it's like 2 or 3 more years, then go ahead."

"Hey man, I heard you and that super pretty princess started it when you were 13 which was way more messed up." Kenny countered

"We only kissed and went on a few dates. Even then, it's rare."

"Then we're the same, we just give each other daily updates, we aren't even going on dates."

"Don't do that, you do it too often, you'll get bored of each other. So do it frequent but not often, then every occasion would feel more special."

"Thanks." he replied

"We're forgetting our goal here, Perseus is just trying to throw us off the subject." Ace said

Damn it, but that was genuine advice too, some people I swear. Well he isn't wrong, I did try to change the subject. My plan involves creating a homunculus of myself where I temporarily will reside in. But if it's just purely a homunculus from scratch like Stella or Zach, it won't work.

I will give up a lot of my blood and with Zach's expertise, he will use my blood to recreate the flesh and bones where even Chaos shall be tricked by it, but to make it more authentic, I will don on fake replicas of my equipments that Hecate will make. And to make it more authentic above that, that clone of me with have my literal heart.

I would use the 'narrator' ability to curse the next soul to take over that body and make it bind for eternity, Hecate would also be able to inject mana into that body to replicate my current one. But I meant it when it would have my literal heart, since no one can hurt me, I sort of have to...do it myself.

The curse is confirmed to keep me alive for quite a while, long enough for my regeneration to heal back my heart. Zach will then use his skill as the soul king to make sure Chaos is bind to that body above my narrator ability, and with no one knowing, it's going to not get leaked. But all of this is the least of it, I plan to also take some of my bones to trick Chaos even further. That clone will be the perfect replica of me.
