"We're you working together with Athena?" I asked as soon as I felt I was ready. And just like that, the stench was bearable… just bearable.
He immediately scoffed while taking a floating cat into his arms. His slender fingers ran through the adorable creature's hair, causing it to snuggle into the man with great comfort.
"Of course not… I wouldn't work with that bitch even if my life depended on it… And I guess the Goddess of Wisdom has fallen, but it doesn't seem right. You know, your old man actually gave Athena the orb necessary to give you a god quest. He even permitted its usage under her name, meaning he didn't want the rewards… it was all a trap for Athena. He knew something she didn't."
"Like that, I would end up actually killing Lu Bu… but also having Athena arrested. Are you saying he planned that out? That was all coincidence, especially when my own skill killed my own Master."
"Nope… that was definitely planned out, although, most likely not by Ares, but somebody close to him… hmmmmm… a lower god wants to rise up. "
I tightly gritted my teeth and balled up my fists, shaking with anger. But as the man in front of me placed his hand on my head, it felt as if all of my overflowing emotions had disappeared. And it wasn't some cheesy metaphorical thing, but he literally sucked the emotions from my head.
"*sigh*... Let me… just finish picking my other enchantment, and then we can discuss this more," I muttered, watching a new panel finally confirm my demonic trait whilst a selection of god-killing traits appeared in front of me.
Chronos, the literal embodiment of time, looked at these new panels with a disturbed expression. His lips were pursed, and his entire body had tensed up. Even a drop of sweat began to slide down the side of his cheek.
"God dammit… Ares is fucking insane for allowing this… and Athena is even more insane for such a thing to happen…. Tch… whatever… as long as you don't use it on me, I don't care. Pick what you want, but make sure to pick carefully. Certain skills go after certain kinds of gods, such as ones that specialize in what you could say is magic, or speed, or strength, or if you're an Olympian… all of those on top of unbounded intelligence."
"Speaking of gods, I can't see your god marks. Are they on your body or something, I thought all were plastered along one's face," I asked, squinting my eyes towards the god, gathering all of the kitties around him and cuddling with them on the bare stone rock below.
"This isn't my true form. This is a form I take to seduce mortals, gods, and all of the like. My real form is pretty hideous, so I doubt you'd want to see it," He muttered, his voice unwavering as he continued to play with the kitties.
"Yeah, I don't care that much."

"Hey, do you know which ones are the best for me?" I asked the man, who was now buried under a pile of cats. Eventually, he poked his head out from the depths of that pile, but his entire face was scratched up with claw shaped marks. They immediately began to heal, but the cats didn't let go of his clothes and skin.
"You were just saying how you didn't care that much about me… and guess what, I don't care much about you either-"
"Alright, fine, that's my bad. I just didn't want to pry on your life and all… I didn't mean to hurt you," I shifted towards him.
"You suck at trying to act empathetical. But, I guess if you do something for me, I'll tell you what all of the enchantments do… pretty good deal, right?"
"What is it you want me to do?"
"When you're in hell, I want you to kill Hades. Of course, I'll help you since Hades is strong as fuck… but I think we'll make a good team," The god smiled slyly, and whilst I shook his hand, I felt the tenderness of his skin.
He had never wielded or even attempted to pick up some kind of weapon in his entire life. He was completely sheltered by magic, meaning his body is that of a god… but a weak one. With a god-killing enchantment, it would be possible to kill him once I evolve.
"You know I can hear your thoughts, right?"
"Tch… alright, whatever. Tell me, and then we can finally talk about where the hell this place is and how I can even get back to the underworld."
"Of course, and to start off, how about the head wings? Those are obviously the head wings of Hermes, the god who sends messages across the universe. Your speed will increase greatly, but if I had to recommend something, it would be not to pick this one. I have no doubt that you're talented, but the jump in speed would be so hard to control it would take you another century to even try to use it for a split second. I mean, at the least, they look cool. They replace your ears, and it looks… well, pretty badass. From the god killers I've seen before, the ones with this are normally the strongest ones, but also the ones who die first. Normally, by their own lack of control of this speed."
"Hmmm… Okay, and the next? The string muscles? What does that even mean?"
"This is probably the most painful process because your muscles will be ripped to shreds. To long strings that continue all the way throughout your body. Every single muscle would essentially be connected to every other muscle, meaning it's very hard to control, but just not as hard as the head-wings. These allow for incredible strength, push and pull. And paired with a good weapon, you could split mountains with ease. And due to every single muscle basically being one, your explosiveness is out of this world."
