When the talk related to Flavio"s training ended, an argument began among the G.o.ds to know who Bastet"s G.o.dfather would be.
The discussion began to rise and they decided to solve the matter with luck, everyone appeared a dice and threw whoever had a higher number would win.
But it did not go as they expected the dice always resulted in the number 6 no matter who will throw it, without being able to solve it by force only left to ask Bastet.
Flavio could see the impatient faces of the G.o.ds looking at his little daughter, without more options Flavio woke Bastet from her dream "Sorry my little Bastet for wakes you up, but Dad needs you to answer a question that your G.o.dfather candidates are going to ask you.
You only need to choose between the three who will be your G.o.dfather or G.o.dmother, once you choose you can go back to sleep my little one. "
Bastet with a somewhat angry face why Dad had interrupted his dream, turned to see the G.o.ds and after thinking for a moment he pointed to Zeus when he finished he just looked at them with a look that said they would not wake her up again.
She turned around and curled up in Flavio"s arms to go back to sleep "I guess Zeus will be the G.o.dfather"
Mother Tonantzin and Anubis were somewhat sad but it was Bastet"s decision and it had to be respected, Zeus appeared with his divine energy a straw doll that became a small tattoo on Bastet"s hand.
"This is a guardian named Dex, he will protect you and help you during your small growth Bastet, that"s all I can give you but you can always count on your uncle/great-grandfather"s support.
Remember that if one day you need my help, just say my name and I will help you. "
Bastet only raised her little hand in a signal that she understood everything Zeus said, with this finished Flavio announced that he would go to the underworld to see Mictlantecuhtli and his wife sponsor Felix.
Mother Tonantzin and Zeus looked at h.e.l.lena and the three laughed, h.e.l.lena squeezed Flavio"s shoulder "Don"t worry Sweety I"ll take Felix, you have to train since we don"t know how strong the Nordic G.o.ds are."
Flavio felt a cold sweat on his back and at that moment Huitzilopochtli and Ares entered the room, Ares throne his fingers "We come for you Flavio, don"t worry we"ll make you a very efficient G.o.d of war"
With no other choice Flavio kissed Bastet and h.e.l.lena and headed for his Spartan training with the two great G.o.ds of war when he left the Flavio room, h.e.l.lena smiled at Zeus and mother Tonantzin.
Flavio was put in a truck where Huitzilopochtli began to explain "Very well Flavio, you should know that your divine energy is very general but you can that is an advantage.
Unlike us who are specialized in some branch you can use it for different events or circ.u.mstances, this gives you an advantage but requires you to work twice as much.
We have a.n.a.lyzed the fights you have had and we can know that you depend a lot on your sword of divine energy but your hand to hand combat is not enough, you fight with a certain fear of death.
Therefore, the first thing we will train you with is that you master your fear of dying, as G.o.d you do not need it if you were a demiG.o.d it would be understandable but as G.o.d the son of Rhea and Apollo we need to eliminate that obstacle.
You don"t have to worry about time, in this dimension time is something that works differently from the way the mortal world does, if we will train you whatever it takes. "
Flavio after listening to Huitzilopochtli knew where the training would come from, he could see through the window that they were leaving the city and heading to a beautiful colosseum.
When they arrived Flavio realized that the colosseum was full of people had a bad feeling, Ares noticed Flavio"s forced smile and tapped him on his back
"Nothing happens Flavio, just fighting until they kill you will let you recover and kill you again until you overcome the fear of death.
Once done we can move on to the next step of your training, now join us we will explain who you will have to face. "
Inside the Flavio Coliseum, he could notice a lot of people waiting for the next battle, in the room to change clothes he could see different gladiators who were preparing to fight.
Huitzilopochtli began to explain who Flavio would face "Your first opponent will be a slightly special lion since he is the son of Nemea"s lion.
How can you imagine he has a lot of hate for Zeus" family and you for being the son of Apollo you are included in his list of G.o.ds to kill.
The best opponent you can have why he won"t hesitate to kill you to take revenge on his father, you can use whatever weapon you want but you won"t be able to use your divine energy to create your sword, you have to fight with your own means. "
Flavio scratched his head and nodded, he does not like the idea of fighting without meaning but if he does not he can lose against the Nordic G.o.ds and without them the empire would lose some valuable allies, not to mention that with them he would also have access to his population That can be a great addition for the Empire of Nova Roma.
He changed his clothes to a typical Roman armor and as a weapon, he chose a steel mace, if the son of the lion of Nemea was like the legend it would be of no use the sharp weapons, he could only fight with the weapons that damage the inside of the body.
When Flavio left the locker room in the arena he heard screams and the lights of the place dazzled him for a moment, he could see that there were thousands of beings waiting for the battle and watched the entrance of his opponent.
Where I can see a humanoid with a lion"s head and a gigantic body looking at him with hate, the fight was about to begin ...
