Chapter 496: Dead man walking

After a really exhausting night, I somehow had the energy to wake up early and got down to make breakfast, it's been a while since I cook without any magic, but my house if filled with equipments that are a mixture of both magic and modern technology and surpasses any royal kitchen.

I just made a really large portion of breakfast burritos and ate it, I gave myself generous portions with enough to give everyone large portions as well, 3 is more than I can handle at the moment, if I have to do it every night...just thinking about it bring shivers to my spine, I'm going to lose a lot of weight if this continues.

I then felt a pair of eyes watching me, I turned to see Ace approaching me from the living room.

"Huh, you may lost all your powers, but you at least have your keen sense of your surroundings." He commented

"Yeah, gotta keep a lookout, besides, I would have thrown a knife if I felt an enemy."

"Can you even use aura?"

"Nope, nothing, I'm stripped of everything, and last night it was my clothes."

"So you were a assaulted? Should we report it?"

"Against a goddess, a princess, and the best smith in the world? Nothing can be done to them, besides, they weren't as you know, rough, as I thought, so it was fine."

"Enough of your love life, give me some bacon, it's always nice having you feed me." Ace laughed

*****

I had seconds and it seems like Lia is really planning on not detaching herself from me, she would occasionally take bites from my portion, apparently to assert dominance while she can.

"Lia, please, I know you love me, but isn't this punishment enough?"

"You're lucky everyone else is lenient, if it was some other girls, they would have dumped you the moment you returned, be grateful for this." she pouted

"I'm glad that I'm not dead too, it was horrible, feels really empty and lonely, and with all those fake clones of you guys hitting on me one after the other, it started to feel repetitive."

"Oh...you didn't tell us about that."

"Shit, don't worry, I rejected all their advances."

"Were you tempted?"

"Slightly."

"Did last night made you forget about them?"

"No, otherwise this conversation wouldn't happen."

Despite trying to appease her, my mind is also racing to think about what Chaos might be thinking at the moment, Nyx has gone silent from the looks of it, Hecate said it's strange even for her, she does keep to herself, but not in total silence.

Strange enough, Damon then got a call from one of the dragons on the frontlines.

"Your majesty, please you have to see this, it's urgent." the dragon reported

"Broadcast it for me to watch it here too please."

Damon then headed to Valhalla and made someone record it and broadcast it through our amulet at home.

It's basically a video call but magic, Chaos is making some sort of announcement.

"...Well that's all for my allies, now for my enemies." Chaos announced as she then turned to 3 women in cells.

I've seen their faces in paintings at Olympus before, the fates, shit, I forgot about that. If she can utilize the 3, it isn't good, if I'm a god, it may have different results, but I'm entirely relying on the quick growth speed of a mortal.

"Perseus, you may have defeated me before, but this time, I have the fates and I already have the blood on my hands." Chaos then laughed "I will eliminate many weaknesses of this vessel, it may take decades to erase the curses and the rest, but it will be enough for me to take you, Andrius and Hecate all head on, so good luck spending your last few weeks, Percy Silver."

"What is it with with people calling me out and calling me by that stupid name, my name is Perseus, that bitch did that knowing that I hate it when people call me by that nickname."

"Perseus, honey, not too loud." Eliza instructed as she pointed at our son sleeping in a nearby cradle.

"Since when did you call him that?" Siege asked

"Since he lost his mind and started to call us food names." Eliza shrugged "Besides, you know how much I adore cute things."

"Your boyfriend is a mass murderer." Siege pointed out

"No one is perfect, so are my taste in men."

"Hey! I'm right here."

Fates...shit, let's hope all the mana and things Adam shared with me will be useful, no, they have to, and I will make sure to end it once and for all next time. Currently, I am nothing but a dead man walking.

*****

Currently, I'm secluded in a room at Zach's private space, I know my screams would freak everyone out, the author said that this will be very painful, like when I become a corrupted, a dhampir, those powers were given to me and now all of those were going to rush back all at once, all my powers coming to me at once within a 24 hours span.

At least this time, Dabria is here with me physically despite me trying to tell her to go away.

"You could be lying, and us bonds have assigned me to this." she responded

"To watch me suffer in pain? The author already said that he is the only one who can ease the pain and refused to do so cuz I infuriate him."

"I'll just hold your hands to comfort you then, I can stay up 24 hours."

"You have the least stamina amongst the 3."

"But I do have the best endurance since I'm a goddess," she coughed with a flustered face "So don't worry, I won't pass out from exhaustion."

"You did."

"Can we not have this kind of talk with the readers listening?" she grumbled and looked away "Besides, I pass out less than the other 2."

"You started it."

"No, no no, you started this."

At least I do feel better that she was here.
