Chapter 129 - 120: The Revenge of the Neglected

Zeus sneered, and said, "Do you really think I'll believe that? You and my son tried to overthrow me once, and I'll be damned if I let that happen again! I'll give you a month to bring me back my master bolt, and if you haven't given it back to me by then, you will have a war in your hands, Poseidon." Then he promptly disappeared in a flash of lightning.

Poseidon sighed and slumped his back on the ground, then said, "If only I didn't try to overthrow him back then, this wouldn't have happened. Brother is too cautious whenever I am near him, and he is too overprotective of his throne. Tch, how am I going to inform Percy about this."

He regretted trying to overthrow Zeus, and he has no excuses for it. He was a bit too greedy back then, and wanted the throne for himself along with Apollo. They failed, quite spectacularly of course. Zeus completely obliterated the both of them, he was just too damn powerful! It's almost unfair how powerful the God of the Sky is compared to all of the other Greek Gods.

Zeus can even take on their uncle, Atlas, on a stalemate! It would even take 6 gods just to seal Atlas, and their brother managed to get on a stalemate with their uncle! It's almost unbelievable, but they guessed that sometimes, reality can be unfair to gods too.

"You seem troubled," A male voice sounded on his right.

"Yeah, it has been tough fo- wait! Who are you!?" He quickly stood up to look at the one who talked to him.

There sat in front of him was a male, seemingly at the age of 20 or so, has long dark hair with the end of his hair highlighting bright white hair. He wore normal clothing that could barely be different from the average man. From his looks, he seems asian, a japanese to be specific. He wore a smile on his face, as if a kid who just saw the latest new toy in a market.

He bowed slightly as he said, "Hello there, god of the sea, I am who you can call a god as well. A deity, but stronger than you and your family of greek gods, though I have been just a god for about 6 days. I'm a newborn in terms of being a god, but I'm more of a god than you."

Poseidon didn't like how he just said all of that without breaking his smile. It was as if he was looking down on him from just how many he said the word "God".

"And what're you doing in our territory?" He asked calmly, not wanting to piss off another god.

"I just arrived here, actually. I don't even know much about this world, and this universe. But seeing greek gods here, I can guess a few theories. Anyway, I decided to reveal myself to know more about this world, and gods are the most informed species in the entire world. I want to know more about this world, and if you oblige to do just that, I will owe you a favor. How about that?" Hikaru said, trying to strike a deal with the greek god.

He could just, you know, extract Poseidon's memories and learn what this world is, but by doing that, he will have to absorb thousands of years of memories. He'd rather save himself from a very painful headache, thank you very much. Besides, he can probably make them his friends, and maybe strike a few "meetings" with the beautiful goddesses here. Kami and Yami were beautiful, at least more beautiful than his wife, but they didn't strike as women who satisfy their l.u.s.t by having an intercourse with men. They were lesbians, but that's a different story for another time.

For the god of the sea, he didn't take the young god's words seriously. After all, what can a newborn god give him, an old god who has experienced everything that this world has to offer?

Hikaru smirked in his head, having read the older god's mind. There's a plethora of things he can offer. A very powerful weapon that could outclass the master bolt, or adding 1 millions years of lifespan to his.

Suddenly, Poseidon widened his eyes, and said, "You read my mind, didn't you!?"

"I'm quite surprised, you sensed that? Well, if you didn't, I wouldn't have treated you as a god. I am capable of more things. I can give you the throne of the King of Gods, if you want. Just give me the information I need about this world, and I'll owe you a favor," This time, he smirked, "That one favor from me is the most precious treasure you'll ever gain in your lifetime. So, what is your decision?"

Poseidon, though, is now acting cautious towards the young god. It's obvious that he is dangerous, just from how he read his mind earlier. He still didn't take his words seriously, out of how ridiculous it is.

"Say, who are you? A normal young god wouldn't have been able to read my mind." He asked, more cautiously than before.

Hikaru sighed, and said, "I guess you wouldn't believe me unless I show some of my powers. Very well." With a snap of his fingers, time stopped. Everything in the world stopped moving, except for the two of them.

"Wha- what are you!?" Poseidon screamed frantically after sensing that his brothers and sisters also stopped their movement. This is dangerous, this man might just be related to his father, Kronos.

He shook his head, and said, "No, I am not related to Kronos, so don't misunderstand. I am only here to gain more information about the other side of this world, where the myths and legends live."

If he doesn't take him seriously now, he'll have to show more "flashy" techniques. For example, dropping a meteor at the size of this planet.

Thankfully, this single act of his finally managed to convince Poseidon, "Fine! Okay, I believe you! Just drop this time stopping thing of yours."

And with that, Hikaru turned everything back to normal.

"Now you believe me? Well, better than never, I guess. So, about those infos I need…"

Poseidon really wanted to get out of here. This man just stopped time as if it was nothing, and reversed it without any problems. Even his father didn't have this much control over the law of time! This young god could easily kill him! Albeit he will resurrect in a few years, the same when Kratos killed them all, but still! Resurrection can be a bit of a pain in the ass.

"I'll inform you about the things that happened over the years, but it's a long story. Would you be willing to chat with me for a long time?" He asked.

Hikaru nodded, and said, "Of course, I'll just have to make a call." He took out the latest Iphone, an Iphone 3G, and called back to the Brown Family, Emma picked it up, and he explained that he won't be returning 'till tomorrow, so their deal will be postponed.

He hung up, and said, "Now, let's make a proper place to chat." With a snap of his fingers, everything around them shattered like glass, and now they were stuck in an empty space.

The older god was shocked. He created a dimension with a snap of his fingers! That was unheard of! He realized that the situation might be more dangerous than he could imagine. If he could convince this young god to side, or at least be friends with their pantheon, then no one will be able to attack them for a LONG time. Especially the other pantheons, and the chinese gods. Chinese gods are even more arrogant and stuck up than the greek gods. Even humans have believed for centuries that they were benevolent, but no, all gods and goddesses are d.i.c.ks and assholes.

"How long is your story going to take anyway?" He asked, just to make sure.

"It will be long, maybe around 5 days if you want the complete story." The older god replied.

Hikaru nodded, and snapped his fingers once again, "I have changed the ratio of time in this dimension box I created from the outside world. Basically, five days here is just one day in the outside world. I use this from time to time when I train some of my abilities."

"Good to know…" He muttered. This is even more f.u.c.k.i.n.g ridiculous. If anyone had the ability to change the ratio of time, then that person would've been the most powerful being in a short time. He feels a little jealous, seeing that someone has this kind of broken ability. Yes, he knows what "broken" is, in terms of mortal understanding. He has played a lot of mortal games, like that game that came out last year "Final Fantasy: Crisis Core". That game has one of the saddest endings in all of video game history, he still wept at the scene where Zack fought thousands of soldiers and died with his honor intact. It was just too beautiful.

Anyway, we're getting out of topic here.

"Oh yeah, I haven't told you my name, have I? I am Uzumaki Hikaru, nice to meet you, god of the sea."

That is his official name in this world, at least in papers. A few days ago, he forged a new identity. It was fake, of course, but no mortal will be able to discern it from real or fake. He is just that good. Anyway, Uzumaki Hikaru fits him more, it just rolls off the tongue.

The god of the sea nodded, and started to give information to Hikaru.

Bit by bit, as time passed, Hikaru gained knowledge of this world, and how the supernatural worked. He also learned that Kratos also once existed in this world. Just like in the games, he slaughtered a lot of deities. They resurrected, of course, but they were never the same. They were weaker than before, but still strong enough to pass as deities.

(Scene Change)

It was night. The cold breeze passed by the trees, making them rattle a little. Silent shadows ran all over the forest near the Brown Family's condominium. They were getting close to the building, all 7 of them.

And when they finally arrived at the gates, Oliver was there to greet them. His smirk rose. He wore a dark robe with one black wing protruding from his back as he said, "The time has finally come, mother, father, you two will die tonight for my revenge. And then, I will finally be able to rest."
