Chapter 335: Casual Outing (6)

Perseus POV

"Maple's pregnant." I then hung up the call.

I can then hear a loud thunderous boom despite being in a somewhat soundproof room.

"Well, he's already on the ship." Dawn said, "I'll go greet and calm him."

*****

I received a text after 20 minutes to go meet them at a private lounge, the lounge was only for Dawn's closest allies, so we were the only ones who were going to be there, except for 3 staff, a waiter, a bartender, and a cook.

I got the girls to go with me, and I specifically walk behind Maple at all times since she's the most innocent one and he will least likely not try anything if that's the case. Once we opened the door and stepped a foot in.

"YOU!!" a voice boomed and Jerah was now instantly in front of us with his hand aiming for my neck, but Lilith stopping him in time and swat it away.

I'm assuming that Dawn has probably already told him the truth, but he was still pissed. We then closed the door behind us so no one can be disturbed.

"Let's sit down first before you decide how I'll die." I said and the girls pushed him to his seat.

We sat down and I had Maple sit on my lap with Buddy on her lap, double protection. He was glaring at me throughout the whole process, even more so as Maple was on my lap and he then used his eyes to confirm that there was no additional life signature coming from Maple, meaning that I lied.

"Can I say what I want now?" Jerah asked and Dawn nodded

"PERSEUS SILVER, THE NEXT TIME YOU DO THAT, I WILL CASTRATE YOU ALIVE AND I WILL THEN CAST ASIDE THE REST OF MY PATIENCE AND REASONING! HOW DARE YOU, A MERE SPECK OF INSIGNIFICANT DUST, CHALLENGE MY AUTHORITY?

"YOU PRANCE ABOUT WITH YOUR PITIFUL BRAVADO, THINKING YOU CAN OUTWIT A GOD! I SHALL SHOW YOU THE FOLLY OF YOUR ACTIONS, AS I UNLEASH A TORRENT OF ANGUISH AND DESPAIR THAT WILL MAKE THE HARSHEST STORMS SEEM LIKE MERE BREATH. PREPARE FOR THE CATACLYSMIC RECKONING THAT AWAITS, FOR IT WILL BE YOUR UNDOING, AND THE WORLD SHALL TREMBLE BEFORE MY WRATH!

"YOUR AUDACITY ASTOUNDS ME, YOU PUNY MORTAL. DO YOU TRULY BELIEVE YOUR FEEBLE ATTEMPTS AT PROVOCATION WILL GO UNANSWERED? I SHALL RAIN DOWN A TEMPEST OF COSMIC CHAOS UPON YOUR FRAGILE EXISTENCE.

"THE COSMOS WILL CONVULSE WITH MY FURY, AND YOUR CRIES OF ANGUISH WILL ECHO THROUGH SPACE. PRAY TO WHATEVER DEITIES YOU HOLD DEAR, FOR THEY SHALL FORSAKE YOU IN THE FACE OF MY DIVINE VENGEANCE!"

"Wow, I think my ear popped."

"SO WHAT?! YOU DARE TO DATE MY DAUGHTERS, AND WORSE YET, PROVOKE ME WITH YOUR INSOLENT GLEE AND IGNORANCE? YOU THINK YOU CAN MOCK THE DIVINE?! MESS WITH THE GOD OF WAR, AND ESCAPE UNPUNISHED?

"KNOW THIS, YOU WRETCHED CREATURE. YOUR DELUSIONAL LIES SHALL NOT BE TOLERATED. YOUR RECKLESSNESS SHALL BRING FORTH A WRATH SO FIERCE, THE FLAMES OF THE SUN WILL SEEM LIKE GENTLE EMBRACES. I SHALL UNLEASH A TORRENT OF UNIMAGINABLE PAIN UPON YOUR SOUL, AND YOUR DAYS OF JOY SHALL CRUMBLE INTO AGONY AND DESPAIR.

"THE NEXT YOU DO THAT, YOU BETTER PROPERLY PREPARE FOR MY FURY, YOU INSIGNIFICANT WORM. FOR YOUR DOOM APPROACHES, AND EVEN THE PLEAS OF THE GODS SHALL FALL UPON DEAF EARS IN THE MIDST OF MY UNBRIDLED FURY!"

"I was about to slap him but that made my day." Lilith chuckled, "What did you say to make him so mad?"

"I told him that Maple's pregnant."

"Oh, have I ever told you that I find you incredibly hot?"

"What. Do. You. Want." Jerah asked while gritting his teeth and clearly trying to change the subject.

"Oh, you know, world peace, unlimited happiness, and maybe a cool pegasus."

"Are you mocking me?"

"I don't know, am I mocking you?"

"You tread on dangerous ground, mortal."

"Am I treading on dangerous grounds?" I echoed.

"Do you want to die?"

"I already died once, so no. Well, twice, if you count emotional death as well."

"Do that one more time, I dare you." Jerah said, "No one can stop me, I am the god of war for a reason, Perseus Silver."

"Do what?"

His eye was twitching like mad now.

"Maple, if we have a son, what name would you suggest?" I continued to taunt the god.

"Let's get back on topic now, he's serious." Maple chided, "...If we have a son, I'd say Maxwell or Maverick."

"Maple, don't you dare listen to anything that vile...thing says." Jerah interjected, "You're better off staying single."

"No offense, I rather not listen to you." Maple replied, "You and mom left without a word, and even if I already fully forgive you, with the current situation going on, at least Mom is trying to help stop it, so you are making it hard for me to even acknowledge you."

Sheesh, the quiet ones sure are harsh when they want to be. I mean, I get his neutrality, but I'm biased so I'll just totally agree with what Maple said.

"Hah, look, I'm not going to step in this civil war of yours, Cain has his reasonings, and so do you-" But I then cut him off.

"If he resets time, you and your current girlfriend would've never met. A lot of things would have never happened, and imagine the butterfly effect. Heck, just imagine his perfect world, it'll be an eternal prison."

"And what of the lives that might be saved by the course Cain proposes? The intricacies of time and fate are beyond your grasp. Besides, you are oversimplifying the situation. Perfect doesn't necessarily equate to a prison. And whether humanity thrives or falls is ultimately their own journey."

"So you're not gonna help? What if he invades other worlds?"

"Then it's their fate and duty to fight and protect themselves, if everything resets, I'm still more than sure that I can protect the worlds under my care."

Man, this guy got a point, but he's also kinda a dick.
