Chapter 436: Preparing for the banquet

Let's just say that it wasn't a smooth process, it was one of the most painful experiences I've ever experienced in my 2 lives. And during our discussion with Thoth, it is confirmed that Dabria can talk to me since bonds are connected by the soul, so she should be able to see from my perspective from my new body.

The skin of this body is made from my literal flesh and blood since the start of this plan, which I had to carve them out myself, let's not get into the gruesome details, just like my Greek and Egyptian predecessors, the myth surrounding my life would be a gruesome one. Don't worry, it was mostly from my thighs or back.

| That's still disgusting dude. |

Our original goal was to have Adam possess my original body temporarily, but Eve would be able to see that Adam isn't attached to me, so we gave that job to Nova, a remnant, whom was very hesitant but did it nonetheless.

This body is indeed a homunculus but we made some features that would weaken Chaos when it get possessed, but not too much that it would be obvious.

"Your current body cannot regenerate mana." Zach informed "You will have to regain mana through your ring that has stored mana. Hecate has injected huge amounts into it, the moment a foreign soul possess your body, it would self destruct."

"Won't Chaos know that though?"

"She won't." Hecate confirmed "I worked really hard, it will look like you are absorbing the surrounding mana, but you won't, and you can't lift your celestial restrictions either unless you permanently bind your soul to that body."

"Yeah, with all the limitations and everything, you can only use 60% of your true power."

"What will you do if my sister asked about not using the gauntlets?" Nova asked in my body as he gave me the equipments so I can store it in the spatial storage.

"Don't worry, I barely use it anyway, I only use them on super strong opponents. The residual curse of Styx of my limbs should help me a lot, I can take on Eros and a few gods if I want to."

I tired to walk, but I stumbled which Zach caught me in time.

"How long did you tell everyone that you'll be away?" he asked

"36 hours, and we already wasted 8, so we got 28 more for me to somewhat function in this body."

"That jacket of yours mimics the function of your plot armor, basically everything is a replica, they are also cursed, the moment Chaos takes over, they will make sure to bind the soul."

"What if Chaos let some random soul do it first to test it out."

"Just trust my curses and spells. We worked hard for this day." Hecate reassured

"Just so you know, if we survive all of this, I would line up to slap the shit out of you." Zach said while digging his finger into my chest "I may not be forced to do this, but since this is the best idea we have and I actually helped out in this messed up plan of yours, I will make sure that everyone around us know so that they would all pitch in."

*****

< Today is the day, I would sacrifice my ability 'narrator' to bind Chaos over these curses, Hecate and Zach would also help, with all 3 of us, it should work and give us enough time. >

But even with all that, we need to sell the act, no one will know, Olympians or anything, no one will know. I'm in my regular clothing of black hoodie, khaki pants, and black Hermes' sneakers. me, Zach, and Albert meet up.

Zach has this cloak around him and wore your stereotypical fantasy scholar clothing and he wear this stupidly large round sunglasses while Albert wore this stupidly shiny gold armor with his family crest and everything. Our 2 goddesses just wear their usual clothing which I don't mind at all.

"Why aren't you 2 wearing defensive items? The banquet is the start of the war." Albert questioned "It might be a regular banquet at first, but they could attack us at any time."

"This is my armor." Zach replied with a slight offended tone "I'm the father of magic, I have to look the part. As for my brother...yeah, he's my brother."

"This is my armor too, and what's with your stupid golden and white armor? Are you trying to become this novel's version of armored Michael Jackson or something?"

"Who's Michael Jackson?" he asked while scratching his head

Me, Dabria, and Zach gasped in shock at that. Helena and Albert doesn't know who Michael Jackson is...shame, I tell you, shame!

We then hear a lightning bolt crashing against the ground with Zeus having to formally escort us alongside Heracles.

"Oh man, I seriously can't believe from the reports that you're being productive after being removed from your position of absolute power."

"Just shut up." he requested

Anyway, when we got to the banquet, the whole thing was set up very nicely, there's a long line of buffet with every food you can think of in a very large mansion and people would gather outside in this super large terrace that is overlooking an arena down below.

I'm the only reincarnate that stand out since unlike everyone who has 2 eye colors, I have only 1. Yeah, a guy with one eye color stand out, never thought I'd see it but here I am.

We then hear some horns and drums with this marching band whose body look like holograms and a red carpet rolled out. I can see Amaterasu and this god dressed in a general outfit accompany a guy which I assumed to be the French one.

He looks to be in his mid 20s, 180cm tall, has dark brown eyes and dark blue eyes. He wear this highly decorated uniform with medals all over.

"Introducing Louis Auclair, Commander of the Galactic defense force." An announcer shouted "Reincarnates please bow before his presence."
