Chapter 420: Yo, funny number, LESSS GOOOOOOO

Perseus POV

"Percy-verse? Isn't spelled Persiverse? Wait...Persi-verse...? Yeah, let's go with whatever's convenient."

"Let's make this less confusing then." Perseus 2 said while holding Ace in his arms, "What's your middle name?"

"Why don't we go with your middle name?"

"Don't have one and I'm older."

"Damn it!...It's...El...El-urghhh...Ellis..."

"Alright, people, just ignore us and go on with your day!" Perseus shouted...

Ugh, why do I have to call him Perseus?! I'm the protagonist here, this is my novel, my book with me as the center point, I'm the attention hog, why is he getting the namesake?! This is so unfair!

One thing's for sure, it's that these people are super polite to Perseus...last complaint before it gets redundant, just let me call him Silver!...he then took me to a local diner, and even without reservation or even asking, they gave us a private room, I should hang out with this guy more often...

"Right, quickly, why the hell are you here?" he asked, "And why is your gauntlet still glowing? The energy is slowly decreasing, but it seems connected. probably a full 2-3 days till it stops."

I then told him about the gauntlet and how we can time travel and do other sorts of multiversal travels with this thing, but I anticipated this, I gotta stay a while, at least we're somewhat safe with the all-powerful Perseus in the house, right?

Even told him about lady time, though I only glossed over it, the others seemed surprised as they didn't experience it.

"Why don't you invite them home?" Ace asked

"We can't bring our guests into the live reincarnation of hell." Perseus answered as if it was the most natural answer.

"Didn't you just say you love them yesterday?"

"Children can either make you feel like in either heaven or hell, today's the latter."

"So, that's why you let Diana take the heat off you?"

"Yeah, since the others are resting and Diana is free, might as well, the kids behave well around her anyway." he then turns to me, "I have 11 kids with 3 women, I am praying for your future self."

"Not if I win the bet." Ruka muttered under her breath

"So, you just gotta stay here till that thing stops glowing, right?" Ace asked, "We can have you stay with Elektra, she has a lot of rooms for guests since she lives by herself, though, she spends most of her time at ours."

"Let's not talk about about our place of stay yet." Ruka chimed in, "Give us the good spots to visit, you're living in an underwater kingdom, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Yeah, might as well, next time might not be so lucky, we could be sent to a void with no air to breathe or a planet full of Rolan." Leilah added

*****

The underwater was super cool, though we're not really in water as the kingdom is in this sort of air bubble. Still, every citizen here can breathe underwater due to their secret blessing or something.

Despite this kingdom being so deep underwater, they apparently had their dome enhance the light source to make the kingdom bright by magnifying the light when the sun was up. The way the sunlight filtered through the crystal-clear waters, casting a glow on everything was mesmerizing. It felt like I had stepped into a different world entirely.

And for the night, he brought us over to his home anyway and he even gave us some earplugs just in case we needed them and fortunately for us, it was dinner time, so the kids were quiet.

Their eldest is like 15-16 and goes by the name of Leo, son of Perseus and his second wife, Eliza. Her full name is Elizabeth Silver, she's a slightly muscular girl around 170cm tall with black hair and brown eyes. She looks more like an athlete than a blacksmith, but whatever.

There's Dabria Silver, a 173 cm tall woman with black hair and purple eyes, apparently the former goddess of life and death. She's his third wife, surprisingly, considering that they've known each other the longest.

Last but not least, Perseus' first wife, Cordelia Silver, was 174cm tall with light blue hair and blue eyes. Apparently Princess of this kingdom and Perseus' first girlfriend and wife. They've met when this kingdom...Neelofar or something, needed Perseus' help to stop some giant leviathan.

I've easily noticed it, just like me, this Perseus is into older women, though, mentally he was older than Elizabeth and Cordelia. Kinda weird, but what do I know? This universe operates differently.

"Hmm, no magic core." Dabria commented, "The energy earlier really was a multiversal travel."

"Based on the looks, it's probably the other Perseus." Elizabeth added, "They definitely look different despite essentially being the same person, kids, greet them."

"Call him Ellis while he's here." Perseus said and gave me this teasing smirk.

They all said hello and went back to their food. I was kinda hoping to see their phoenix and dragon, but apparently, they're away at the moment. We joined them for dinner and we then headed to the living room where I saw a wolf sleeping there, goes by the name of Siege.

The living room has a TV and everything, which is weird for a fantasy world. And the house...well, it's huge, got a lot of rooms for everyone in the house, and as the kids were fooling around and fighting for the TV, Perseus asked me in detail about the meeting with Lady time.

"Lady time, huh?" he sighs, "I saw her once, though it was like off-camera, or off-novel, whatever."

|Fun fact: Lady Time was an existence that I was going to reveal in the last arc of my novel, I was supposed to create and write one more arc with her in it, however, I decided against it, ending my first novel with quite a bit of plot holes.|

"Is she dangerous?" I asked

"Yeah, I can handle her but...I doubt that I'm fast enough to save you if she decides to go after ya." he shrugged, "She's probably not going to blame you for using the gauntlet, but you should be careful with bringing anyone over next time, at least run it by me first."
