Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Training with gods (2)
"Can you stop using charm now? I'm barely resisting at this point, and cheating wit another woman in front of my girlfriend really isn't going to look good on my harem protagonist resumé"
"No if anything, that would make it look better, I'm a love god, I have a very high standard for men I sleep with" she replied "Though I will turn off charm for now"
<Didn't you cheat on Hephaestus with Ares? Luckily he divorced you and humiliated you both, he deserved better>
I took a small sigh of relief as I can no longer feel the effects of 'charm'. My heart is now beating more normally.
"I'm here to give you a bit of a gift, you will need my help if you're going to stand against my son" Aphrodite said as she swirl a drink in her hand "He tends to disobey my orders despite being my strongest child"
"What kind of gift are we talking about?"
"Immunity against his arrows , higher resistance against charm by love gods and a few other things" Aphrodite answered "He has recruited a lot of gods from different worlds, this fight will probably be the biggest fight in history between gods"
"Just us 2?" Lia asked
"No, your whole party, maybe extend it to your family members. But of course, there are limits, I can't help friends, only family members. So Nova will not receive any gift from me" Aphrodite answered "And most of all, I want to meet Perseus Silver"
"A lot of gods want to meet me these days, strange, to think that I used to not believe in gods once upon a time only to find out my former father is one was a bit shocking"
"You don't seem to love him very much, please understand that us gods cannot stay in the mortal world for too long, most of us don't want to get attached to mortals" She explained "Because once we do, we would want to become mortals, giving up our immortality"
"Just because that's a good excuse for a god or goddess, it doesn't mean it's good for me. Leaving all the sappy stuff aside, Lia is a descendant of a sea god, that means her bloodline should be very powerful, if Struan takes the test since he's the strongest in Neelofar, can't imagine his power, though we'll have to follow the order, it will take quite a while till he can take it"
"Well after my gifts, you will be training with your respective gods"
After that, we then have a bit of a discussion and we'll apparently have the gifts after we wake up.
"Well I have to get going now, it's been great meeting you 2" Aphrodite said as she got up "If only my favor can last a bit longer, Perseus, if you need me for anything at all, you know how to call me"
"How? I do not have a phone nor internet to contact you, Dabria can't make an appointment since you have a lot of servants who would refuse our request"
"Just know that you know" she giggled as she waved goodbye and disappeared
"I'm really jealous of her looks" Lia grumbled

After the session with Aphrodite, the scenery changed separating her from Perseus and she is now in this large body of water with no land in sight, only fishes swimming around aimlessly
"To think a Nereid in your world is a bit different from mine, but in the end it's my job to help you handle your new powers as a celestial" A goddess introduce herself to Cordelia "I'm Amphitrite, a fellow Nereid, queen of the sea, wife of Poseidon"
Amphitrite is a woman about 165 cm tall, looks to be in her late 30s, has brown hair and blue eyes.
"I was a stand-in queen once, a lot of work, luckily my brother is about to inherit the throne" Cordelia said
"Well as queen, I also just order people to do my things for me and my husband mostly done all the work" Amphitrite chuckled

1st person view
In front of me is a shirtless and muscular falcon headed god sitting on a throne.
He is about 190 cm tall, dark skin and have a falcon head for a head. His right eye is gold in color and the left is silver in color.
"Horus, right? God of war and sky?"
"Indeed I am" the god nodded
Man, it's still weird to see animals speak in a human language even after spending years in this new world.
"Just a curious question, is Albert, Aenon and Helena receiving any training?"
"Ah the other reincarnate in your world" he then scratch his chin "Zeus have personally decided to train the 3 of them, he is quite fixated on making them surpass you"
"Man, he really hates me. You know any insult I can throw at him? You're one of the higher ups, right?"
"I know quite a lot, I pay good attention to my surroundings after all" he chuckled
"Can you tell me how to sit intimidatingly just like you? You know I need to instill fear into people a bit, and I find sitting on a throne just like you now would be a good start"
"You really are just like your father said" he laughed "You are indeed amusing, reminds me of your mother"
"Why does everyone know of my mother but me"
"Despite being born before the time your world is attacked by those monsters, she was a very brave medic, who would risk her own life to save others. She attracted me, a few healing gods and a few war gods" He replied "Out of everyone, I didn't think that she would have a child with Hypnos, one of the laziest god in existence"
"She was a medic?"
"Of course, a great martial artist too, very active, too bad she retired, and Hypnos and her seemed to have hit it off after than despite already having a wife. Your mother was, excuse the pun since she's a descendant of Hecate, bewitching"
<Don't you also already have a wife?>
| Gods really are strange |
"Hey, stop daydreaming about my mother, I actually know what she looks like now, so the mental image is terrible...are you training me only because you used to like my mother or something?"
"Partially yes"
"I am both amazed at your honesty and yet somehow very disgusted by it."
"Your current mom also isn't that bad, you know" he added "A very wonderful hunter and...hey, I'm a god, I'm allowed to fantasize"
