Chapter 3: training and discoveries

Pov: Eliseu.

Arena, Olympus.

Year:???

'BOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

My body goes through some of the pillars of the arena and then falls to the ground, creating a large twenty-foot trench in a straight line.

It has been a few years since I started, training, now I am in one of the training arenas, looking to the side I see a Greek spear in pieces.

{Great, now I'm unarmed.}

And my body is not in the best condition, my leather armor that I used to train, has been completely destroyed, and almost my entire body is surrounded by wounds.

A huge being almost three meters tall, falls in front of me, he was humanoid in shape, wearing a simple leather outfit and carrying a hatchet, half of his body was human, his head was bull's and had a tail, he was a minotaur.

"MUUUUU!" He roars coming towards me.

At a speed that should be possible for someone of his size to move, the minotaur is a few feet away from hitting me with his axe, before he could cut me in half, I hold the axe with my arms.

"BOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

Strong, the minotaur's force made my feet sink into the ground

The minotaur seeing that it would be useless to try to cut me in half, he drops his weapon, unlike the other times he tried to cut me with the axe, the minotaur punched me sending me flying a few meters back.

{This way, I'll never win.} I think.

The bull-man attacks again, jumping up and raising his arms to crush me, I turn my body to the left to dodge, and without wasting any time, I start punching the minotaur.

With each blow of mine, the minotaur showed signs of injury, I see the minotaur's face becoming angry, with absurd speed he easily caught my wrist stopping my attack, and then punched me in the face with his other fist.

I won't lie, it hurt, a lot, ignoring the pain I advance with arms outstretched, but the minotaur was faster, jumping backwards, and advanced wanting to crush me with his open arms.

I turn my body to the left, deflecting the attack, and so it continued for a long time, one trying to kill the other.

I begin to tire, I have lost count of how many minutes have passed, I can't make a simple attack. My vision has become curved, I think I'm going to faint from exhaustion.

Then I feel something strange. I feel an energy around me filling my body. My body starts to turn blue as destruction emanates from it and from me. The minotaur seems slow now, I attack with all my strength, the minotaur by reflex raises his arms, but my fist destroys and pierces his chest as if he were butter, I see blood and quickly I pull my arm from his chest.

The minotaur's lifeless body falls to the ground, so I sit down on the ground in a not delicate way.

"Fascinating" speaks a female voice.

With blonde hair and black eyes, wearing a Greek armor and a golden helmet, carrying a spear and a shield.

"Athena" I say.

"I thought you wouldn't awaken your divinity, being so young, but it seems I was wrong" she said, staring at me.

"You're not wrong very often, sister," I teased her.

"You're still the same, even after a hundred years," she said, flashing a small smile.

"Cof! Cof! Cof!" I coughed a few times blood all over the floor.

"Healer!" Shouts Athena.

After a while the healer arrived to heal me.

Pov: Eliseu.

library,Olympus.

Five days later.

Year:???

"This is really, more complicated than I thought" I say, as I sit up.

In front of me was a book with several ancient symbols, it was a book about magic.

Magic is nothing more than using the "flaws" in the programming of reality, if you know the language that reality was made in, you can use those flaws to fulfill your wishes. And no matter what kind of Olympian or earth magic you use, they have one thing in common. They burn fuel by means of ingredient or energy.

Olympic magic, quite different from Asgardian magic that uses runes, is very similar to what earth wizards use, but instead of using the energy of other dimensions, we use that of our own dimension.

But after a long time, I managed to master "tavros" which means bull, with which I can increase all my physical attributes.

Leaving the library the servants bow almost mechanically, I am walking down the palace corridor, when I am stopped by my sister.

"Sister" I say.

My sister's face is in a serious expression, it seems to be a serious matter.

"It's time for you to earn your god title," Athena said.

I have been waiting for this moment for years, when I earn my god title, then I can control my awakened divinity better.

"Finally," I say happily.

"Come on" says Athena.

I follow Athena until we arrive, in a large door made of pure gold, with several images representing the 12 Olympians, it was the Olympic hall.

Athena following, opened the big door, inside there was a big hall with white tones, with 12 thrones, being the middle ones grandiose, with a Man and a Woman seated on these two big Thrones.

Of these 12 Thrones, only 10 were occupied, and Athena went to sit on one of the Thrones.

"Eliseu Panhellenios!" Shouts Zeus.

The whole palace, nay, Olympus Whole shuddered at the cry of its sovereign.

"It's time for you to sit in one of our rows, but first..." speaks Zeus, extending his arm and opening his to slowly close his fingers.

"TRUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

Zeus, held something in the air, which materialized out of nowhere, in the form of a lightning bolt, Thunderbolt, his symbol of power.

"You must, receive your title, as a deity" Zeus continued.

Zeus rises from his throne, then I feel, the power, a tyrannical Power able to subject a universe to his command.

" I, Zeus Panhellenios, god of the heavens and thunder, Skyfather of the Greek pantheon, proclaim you, god of destruction and justice!"

"TRUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

A thunderous boom echoes throughout Olympus.

" You must swear, that you had protected this kingdom?" Zeus continues.

"I swear!"

"Tum!" "Tum!" "Tum!" "Tum!"

The Olympians, sitting on their Thrones, slam their weapons to the ground.

"More now, you must receive your weapon, but with the nature of your power, you would destroy any weapon we have, Hephaestus will forge a weapon specifically for you." Zeus spoke, as he sat on his throne.

"It will be an interesting challenge" says a male voice.

He was tall, with a brown beard and blue eyes, unlike the other Olympians who wear Greek robes and armor, he wore a blacksmith's outfit with golden gloves, it was Hephaestus.

"It has been a few thousand years since I created such a weapon, my last creation being Apollo's bow." Spoke Hephaestus with a nostalgic face.

"Hahaha, yes, it has been a long time, I remember I would melt down any weapon in our arsenal." Says another male voice.

Nearly six feet tall, long golden hair, wearing white Greek toga, Apollo.

"I had to refill our stock of weapons" says Hephaestus, grumpily.

"Who cares, let's just get this useless meeting over with, I have other things more important than watching this boy earn his god title." Says someone who doesn't care about this meeting.

He was tall, long brown hair.dressed a black Spartan armor and second a hatchet.

"Ares, manners." Says Zeus.

"Grrr"

Ares looked annoyed, but said nothing, he was no fool to contradict Zeus.

" Thinking about it now, Eliseu, what weapon do you want?" spoke Hephaestus again.

"A spear."

Hephaestus shook his head in agreement.

"With everything settled, my son, I want you to leave us, we will discuss other matters." Ordered the king of the gods.

Bowing, I turned around and left the Olympian hall, heading towards my room.

Pov: third person.

Underworld, Kingdom of Hades.

Same moment.

Year:?

"Then a new god arose" says Hades sitting on his throne.

Hades, was imposing, bald and gray-eyed, wearing all purple armor with blue details.

"Interesting, isn't it Mephisto?" He spoke looking at the demon.

Two meters tall, wearing a red cape covering his body, red skin, pointed dark circles under his eyes and black hair combed back.

"Yes, it's been a long time since a god with the divinity of destruction was born, maybe I will make a stop at Olympus, to see him with my own eyes" Mephisto speaks smiling.

"You should be careful with my brother, he is not much of a conversationalist like Odin" says Hades

"I am no fool, to face a Skyfather outside my dimension, let alone face him in his realm." Answered mephisto.

That was not a lie. The law said that says that every helllord who leaves his realm will weaken over time, so it is foolish to face a Skyfather outside his realm.

"I expected your kingdom, to be more populated" he says looking around.

The sky was dark as was the rest of the realm, fire spurts out of the vents, Hades' throne is at the back of the palace, around it all, legions of spirits of all different kinds standing silently, just watching their lord.

"My kingdom may not be as populous as the others, but what is in the deepest part of my kingdom is far more valuable than just mortal souls," Hades said.

"The titans" concluded Mephisto easily.

"Just one soul from a second generation titan is worth two thousand compared to a mere mortal" boasted Hades.

"But how is our plan going?" Mephisto, moves the conversation forward a bit, to get to the main subject, being the reason for this meeting.

"Going as expected, the other lords of hell are doing their parts of the plan, soon the final part will be complete, if it wasn't for that supreme wizard and the Skyfathers, things would go faster" says Hades with an annoyed face.

"That doesn't matter, for us immortals, we have plenty of time, so we will get what is rightfully ours.

The two hell lords begin to laugh out loud in pure elation.

Pov: Eliseu.

Forge, Olympus.

One month later.

Year:???

"That's really amazing" I speak out loud.

The forge is really a work worthy of a god, with big gray columns, several huge gears, surrounded by lava, but they were no ordinary lava, they were created by Hephaestus, they arrived at the temperature of a medium sun.

Why all this? Simple he used the heat of a sun to melt Adamantino, one of the two largest metals in the entire Marvel universe, a metal comparable to Uru, and possessing many mystical properties.

In the middle of the forge is a spear stuck in the ground, it was all silver, with various Greek details on the handle.

"What do you think, young god?" Says Hephaestus.

"Magnificent."

Hephaestus looked proud, with his creation.

"This spear can spear bursts of energy, fueled with your powers, I also enchanted it to only recognize you as master, it can also return to your hand just like Mjolnir." Speaks Hephaestus smiling.

I move closer to the weapon.

"Does she have a name?" I asked curious.

"It is tradition to the bearer gives the name to weapon" Hephaestus replies.

After thinking for a while I decided on the name of my weapon.

"Her name will be argus!"

I stand facing the weapon and hold it with both hands, I don't feel anything in it, so I put my energy in, the spear starts to bathe in blue energy, it goes out of control. Hephaestus moves away from me because of the energy.

The spear starts to emit blue light along with me until it accepts my power, my powers went to the spear, plus I could feel them and use them better without fear of destroying my body, I lifted the spear off the ground, out of nowhere a silver Greek armor appeared on my body.

"How about testing your new weapon?" Says Hephaestus.

"Sure" I say.
