I Am Not Zeus Chp 24

#PERCY POV#

I glare down at Nike as she is still bound by shadows

"We should destroy her and let her reform for a few centuries," Says Zelus to which some of the other gods agree but some of them just look at me anticipating how I will react

I knew something like this was going to happen eventually

So I already knew what was going to happen so I planned for it

"Nike, who am I?" I ask her softly to which she gulps loudly

"Percy Jackson," She answered after a few moments to which I nodded slowly slightly disappointed

"Nike, I am not just Percy Jackson, I am the one you swore loyalty to. Did you forget why I asked all of you to join me?" I answered her and asked her a question again

"Because I am tired of gods like Zeus who do nothing but abuse the power that should never have been given to them in the first place. Hestia by right of birth should have been the ruler of Olympus, but we all know her uselessness is legendary," I say as power flares out from me intentionally

"It's time, I tell you the next reason as to why I am pushing all of you as much as I can," I say while looking at all of the assembled gods and sighing

"The Greco-Roman, Shinto, Norse, and every other pantheon on Earth have become complacent in their power and for that, they will nearly all pay for it dearly. Many enemies of the gods from different pantheons are beginning to work together although this cooperation can be said to be very fragile they are still trying their best to make it work," I tell them my suspicions as I had the Triumvirate is out there helping any enemy of any gods and thanks to my sensing abilities I can feel multiple powers moving from East to the West and vice versa

That group is going to major pain in the ass

I get up and go to my base and bring out multiple folders that I was preparing for our next monthly meeting but now seems like an appropriate time

I pass them around and sit back down while still looking at Nike

"Some of our spies have reported multiple monsters from different pantheons coming into the states and this information has been confirmed of the Triumvirate Holdings company to be in fact transporting weapons and monsters and in some cases vessels of gods similar to what the Egyptians do with their chosen vassals allowing them to escape detection from the gods," I say as I look around and see them going over the proof some of them were already aware of this situation

"This is one of the reasons why I was so insistent on working together. Sure, we are but a small group, but every day more beings join us with the promise that they won't be discriminated against or hunted down like animals. Giving them something so simple is incredible is it not," I say as they all had looks of realization on their faces at what exactly I had done

I am making my own pantheon with every kind of being from any pantheon

Something soo taboo to them that they never even considered the kind of beings that would join us

I am pretty sure monsters from other pantheons would join us after hearing about us

The gods who have been mistreated by their own kind will be accepted here with open arms

So long as they are not assholes which is why I am giving them a chance to join us

Most pantheons won't be happy but at that point, they would have to swallow their pride and join the other pantheons in order to fight against us as we would have grown to such an extent that they can't possibly ignore us anymore

Even then their worthless pride won't allow them to fight us while working with other pantheons as they would most likely begin to fight amongst themselves first or try to get rid of the other gods

I look at Nike one more time and give out my sentence

"Nike, you will give your full blessing alongside all of the powers a child yours would have to Zelus's child for him to use as he wishes and apologize to both children and Zelus. Alongside, you shall be given to Nemesis to decide if this is punishment enough or if you still need to be punished further," I say as I looked to Nemesis who looks surprised that I called her and she nods and makes a motion with her fingers saying that she needs a bit more in order to be properly punished

I think about it a bit more and see what else I can make her do

"How about making her bless two weapons with the power of victory for Zelus's child and her own for them to do whatever they wish, within reason of course," Suggested Aeolus to which I look at Nemesis she nods at me and I look around and see the other gods look surprised that I looked at them for approval

"Well, you heard them," I say to which her eyes widen and she promptly looks down to the ground

"I am not Zeus, I am not Kronos, Nike. Actions have consequences which is something most gods have not learned. I am not trying to be cruel or unjust. Which is why I asked for Nemesis's opinion on this matter," I explained as she kept looking at the ground

"Now go do your punishment, everyone else, begin your reports, I will get Nike's later in the day," I said as I point to a random god as he began to explain our forces at the moment

We have thousands of monsters with several groups around the States, a few in Canada and some in Mexico.

Compared to the billions of monsters currently in Tartarus those numbers are nothing

I ask about the demigods and I am pleased to hear how they are doing

The demigods on our side have one slight advantage over the others

Their powers are manifesting to much greater degrees due to them being taught by their parents, which naturally makes their scent stronger which in turn makes the barrier around Circe's island stronger, little by little but its progress

The weapons in their possession are nothing to sneeze at since thanks to my own personal smiths, I have been able to arm them with equipment that will keep them safe and give them an edge

Hecate's children are helping with the enchanting process of each piece of equipment

Someone comes rushing into the meeting room

"Milords, we have just discovered that Artemis has been captured by the Titans and they are looking for the Ophiotarus who appears to have been reformed," Said the Empousa while breathing heavily

I narrow my eyes as I was waiting for this moment for a while

I stand up and give orders to every one of them

"All of you, bring every single demigod that you have here, it doesn't matter if they are newborns or in any of the camps, take them and bring them here, NOW," I order them

I look at the Empousa

"Make sure to inform everyone that we will be having a lot of demigods coming in a few hours at most, hurry," I order her and she goes out and I go into my home base and grab the scouter and scan my power level

36,138

I let out a small smile which soon turns into a frown

At this point aside from going into [Base Defense] or the [Idle Dungeon] in order to get stronger would help much as of this moment I keep raising my power level through my body and I have no idea how to progress even further

The only thing I can think of is doing [Base Defense] in an attempt to get stronger skill books which I am absolutely happy with

I have all Iron rank system skills

If I get two duplicate books of the same skill, I can use them to upgrade my Iron rank skills

If I get four iron rank skill books I can fuse them into 2 Bronze rank books of the same skill allowing me to upgrade to Silver Rank skills and so on and so forth

That is an avenue I could try to see what else I can get

I go out of my home base and shadow travel over to the Junkyard of the gods and begin to wait around for the demigods to pass through here and save Bianca
