Chapter 251: The God Of The North (2)

Perseus POV

"So tell me why you're a cat again?" Ruka asked

"She can't tempt me if I'm a cat."

Lilith made it hard for me to focus on the performances carried out in the arena, she was kissing my neck, nibbling, or kissing my ear, she was doing everything in her power in an attempt to tempt me, it was quite horrifying with what she can do.

I had to turn into a cat to turn her off and escape back into this viewing room with everyone else where I can also see my 3 future children joining in and devouring the free food and just keep asking for refills to waste the organizers' money.

After a while, Lilith came into the room and so I just jumped into Orion's as he was eating, seeing Orion should make her stay away. She can't even pull me away and use her magic to force me to turn back because her mind will only be reminded by Orion who is the result of our future activities.

But she approached me anyway.

"Guys, protect me please, this woman is going to be the death of me."

"I can't go against my own mother." Orion shook his head

"Yeah, but I'm your father."

"Well, she's currently a goddess, what do you want us to do?"

"Just keep her away from-oh no." Lilith then picked me up

"Moms, please help me."

I then tried to show my cutest face possible as a cat and yet they barely budge since the woman whose hands I'm in is a goddess, Lilith then just held on me tightly in her arms before joining everyone else and watching the performance.

After a while, the fight started, and even though it took quite a long time, Phineas remained dominant throughout the fight, the other guy stood no chance, which kinda sucks since the other guy was pretty good, but he just didn't resort to dirty tactics, he fought in the way a noble was taught, for honor and glory, bla bla blah, helps in most duels, but won't work in the midst of war or against a person of Phineas' caliber.

The fight had an easy pre-determined winner, Phineas didn't even use his powers as Michael, he just used his magic to dominate, they fought at a long distance since Ph- I mean Finn usually opts for his specialty of close-ranged combat, not that it matters.

About a half hour later, the fight ended with Phineas being announced as the winner and a letter was sent into our room where I was asked if I want to fight for 2nd place, even though I know that I'm gonna get the prize I wanted by just remaining as the 3rd place winner, the chief and my family peer pressured me to sign up for the fight of second place which will take place later tonight as my opponent is resting.

My opponent was the person who decided the time, so I don't get why he wants it tonight and not tomorrow, but maybe he just wants to deal with it sooner or later, the treatment he's getting must be nice, I heard that there's a good massage service for the relaxation of the participants, not that I'm allowed to go.

I tried to sign the paper in my human form, but it seems that everyone is now attached to my cat form, and since Lilith likes to see me suffer, she ordered me to stay like this, so I had to dip my paw in ink and use the pawprint as my signature which the chief then give to the staff and assure them that it's authentic and if any problem arises, they can contact him, and of course, they'll believe the words of their previous champion.

"Can I turn back now? Leilah, please help me." I pleaded only to get Lilith holding me tighter

"As punishment, I'm not allowed to interfere..." Leilah responded as I can see her gripping her dress very strongly

"You're the eldest sister, why are you listening to her?"

"Hmm, do you not like me that much?" Lilith whispered into my ears

Finn then heads to receive his reward, which was this super rare stone that is the rarest material in the world, Finn can ask for any gear he wants and the organizers will have a great smith to work on it for him while they also pay for the enchanting.

After giving him the award, they let him give his victory speech, just the platform he needed to announce that stupid prophecy of his.

"Ladies and gentlemen, believers and seekers of truth," He proclaimed as his voice was greatly amplified so that he'll be heard even outside the arena "I stand before you today as a humble servant of God, to share a divine revelation that has been bestowed upon me. I urge you to open your hearts and minds to the message I bring, for it is one that will shape the destiny of our world.

"In the sacred texts, our Lord spoke of a time when the world would face a great calamity. One that will shake the foundations of our existence. A time of reckoning and purification, where the wickedness and sin that have plagued our world would be washed away.

"My brothers and sisters, we must not be afraid." he then raised his hands like some sort of messiah "Instead, let us find solace in the knowledge that the power of God's love is immeasurable. Join us, and follow the ways of the Almighty as only through our faith and devotion, can we emerge stronger and more united than ever before to survive this future calamity."

He's not stating what this future calamity is, so it's more of a just recruitment speech if that makes any sense? But it was more than enough to sow doubt and cause a murmur in the crowd, the voting panel must now be regretting their decision to vote for this man to win.

"My friends, remember," he continued "This prophecy is not a curse but a divine call to action. It is a reminder that even in the face of darkness, we carry within us the light of God's grace. Let us hold onto that light, for it will guide us through the trials to come."
