<(Omniscient POV)>

"What in the name of the cursed pits of Tartarus... is happening here?" Iapetus muttered to himself in disbelief as he looked at the bulky figure trying its best to destroy a huge metal door, its large muscular frame eerily similar to the figure he had just fought a few moments ago in the real physical world, except for the fact that its armor was severely damaged at various spots by some highly corrosive acid that seemed to have originated from the dead bodies of those weird creatures lying around it.

Indeed, the armored figure was so severely damaged and battered that it appeared scarcely able to move, let alone swing its massive battleaxe to attempt to break through the large, thick door before it. However, its resolve to do precisely that stood in sharp contrast to the reality of the situation and its condition.

"So, you were strong enough to enter here uninvited?" A stoic, refined voice cut through Iapetus' thoughts as he felt a sharp, thick object impale his back like a blunt blade before he could react. "Well, well, Mr. Iapetus, it seems my luck has turned. Just when I thought we were at a disadvantage, you presented yourself up like a spare battery... Thank you for your generous contribution. My creator will undoubtedly be pleased to hear of this later," the voice menaced, as the blade sank deeper and deeper into the Titan's back.

As the blade sank deeper, Iapetus couldn't help but cry out in agony. A searing liquid began to slowly seep into his body through the gash on his back, the wetness permeating his psychic essence almost as if a malevolent force was insidiously slithering its way into him.

"Don't worry, the pain shouldn't last too long. Soon, you will be one of us. We required psionic energy to resist this parasite invading this mindscape and the... divine psychic energy that you are composed of, should be just enough to fortify this place and make sure that we are powerful enough to not just completely evict this unwanted bug out of here but also be what we are truly meant to be... Agents meant to protect this place and eradicate anyone threatening our creator's mind." The voice explained with pure confidence and disgust audible in his voice, his disgust directed at not just the psychic remnant of Ares but even the Titan itself.

"... I-I w-won't..." Iapetus tried to retort the assailant's words, but he could only mumble a few incomprehensible words before a black glue-like liquid substance completely covered him from head to toe, not even leaving a single inch of his bare skin. A few seconds later, the black liquid slowly contracted back to where it came from which was the freshly made cut in the back of the Titan.

Once the black liquid completely retracted, it could be seen that the huge form of Iapetus had shrunk to what was a "normal" human wearing a dark green suit and a pair of dark spectacles, looking exactly the same as the person standing behind him. Of course, if Bruce had been here, he could have easily recognized the two "humans" at a glance as copies of Mr. Smith from The Matrix.

"Mr. Smith." One of them nodded with a confident smirk.

"Mr. Smith." The other one nodded back with a smile that seemed to reflect the first one.

"Quite an... upgrade, I have to say. This new addition will be quite useful... Now, to the more important matters." The former of the Agent Smiths muttered thoughtfully while sizing the other with a grin. "It is time to evict this parasite from here and destroy the corruption before this "disease" spreads any further." He stated with a determined expression as he focused his attention on the bulky figure of Ares trying to strike down the door.

Even though I was upset about the whole thing, of course, I wasn't going to rant about being manipulated by a bunch of goddesses. I was weak, and that was why I got manipulated by them into doing their dirty work, it was as simple as that. However, I wasn't just going to forget this. Instead, I was going to take this as a challenge and make sure that this doesn't happen again.

'I have been focusing too much on small-time criminals. I need to prepare against every possible scenario if I want to be truly invincible including gods, demons, and everything in between. I need to grow so strong that no god or goddess ever dares to make use of me in any way, no matter how noble of a purpose it is.' I thought to myself with determination.

But before that, "I have a question though, where the hell am I?" I asked.

"This is an astral realm. We summoned your astral spirit here to talk after we recently felt it weakening. We have been tracking you from the moment you landed on Themyscira, trying to communicate with you. But we couldn't manifest ourselves in the mortal world due to the rules and your mental barriers and spirit were too strong for us to establish a direct connection to.

It was only after you put on Ares' cursed helmet that the mental shields around your mind began to weaken, and we got the chance to summon your spirit here. Originally, we wanted to help you get rid of Ares' possession and take off his helmet as compensation for your service, but it seems that you have already taken care of it to some extent." Athena disclosed, her gaze meticulously capturing every subtle shift in my expressions.

"But we still owe you for your help in eliminating the threats of Ares, Hercules, and Iapetus while saving our daughters, the Amazons. If those three were successful in what they wanted to accomplish, then not just the Amazons but the entire world would have been at risk especially with Zeus still missing. Therefore, if there is anything you want, you can ask us. We will try our best to help you..." Hera offered.

However, Artemis quickly interjected, "as long as it doesn't involve making you a true immortal, transforming you into a god, or starting a battle with another pantheon. We cannot do those without all 12 Olympians agreeing to it."
