"I am afraid that is worse than what we though" Said Demeter."What do you mean?" Asked Artemis.
Alfonso was currently in the room with Demeter , Artemis and Dionysius. Originally, the plan was to leave Peringrer town as soon as Hygeia gave the antidote to Mirana, the reason? Simple, Alfonso didn"t want anything to do with the people persecuting Mirana.
Of course, Dimitri opposed this, he wanted to settle things with that hurt his mother and him.
However, Alfonso already predicted this.
"My condition to help you is that you won"t try to get revenge, nor would you try to look out for the mastermind behind everything"
This was the condition that Alfonso made Dimitri make in order to help him.
Of course, Alfonso didn"t know that this was going to develop in the current situation, if not, he wouldn"t had help them.
"Alfonso" Said Demeter.
"Yes?"
"What do you exactly feel?"
"I feel… now, pretty calm actually" Said Alfonso.
"…" Demeter didn"t say anything.
"Demeter… is what I think is it?"
"I am afraid so, however, the good thing is that he didn"t take too much, otherwise…"
"Can you tell me what is happening?"
"Well… Here is the thing, you know that champions are basically humans with the will of the G.o.ds right?" Said Demeter.
"Well, yeah…" Said Alfonso.
"You know why G.o.ds usually pick babies to bestow their will?" Said Dionysius.
"No…"
"Because the will of a newborn is weak… so they can"t oppose" Said Demeter.
"Can someone refuse to become a champion?" Asked Alfonso.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"In theory… yes, however, there has never been a case before…" Said Artemis.
"Wait… what are you trying to say is that…." Alfonso face paled.
"Yes, I am afraid…" Said Demeter.
"You have become the champion of Chrono" Added Dionysius.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Shouted Alfonso.
"…." Demeter didn"t know what to say.
"But… but how! That kid is death! What appeared in front of me is only a fragment of his soul!" Said Alfonso.
"To be fair, Chrono isn"t death… or to be more specific, he CAN"T die" Said Demeter.
"What do you mean?"
"In the war against the t.i.tans, Zeus kill a few, however, he only locked down the leader, our father Chrono, isn"t the Tartarus, although you humans said that it was to torment him for all eternity… the true is, father was too powerful, even for us, so, Zeus and the others pray for help, at the end, the only one who help us was grandmother" Said Demeter.
"Are you talking about Gea?"
"That"s right, she help us in the war, however, she had a condition, and that condition was that we couldn"t go for the finis.h.i.+ng blow… she used her powers to divide the power of Chrono in four, in exchange for her own soul… she was so damaged that she had to go sleep for a really, really long time, that"s why I a.s.sume her place as the mother earth, however, the majority of my old powers came from her" Said Demeter.
"So… are you telling me that he is alive?" Said Alfonso.
"Well, you can barely call that living… but, yes" Said Artemis.
"You have to be f.u.c.king kidding me…" Said Alfonso powerless.
"Anyway, it seems that he forcefully planted his will inside you… now, you can use his powers more freely" Said Demeter.
"What does his will has to do with my sudden anger?"
"The will represent the nature of the G.o.d in question and some characteristic of the G.o.d will pa.s.s to his or her champion, for example, when Artemis eventually pa.s.ses her will to Io, she will have her disgust for males, as for me, when I pa.s.s my will to Anastasia, she will love nature" Said Demeter.
"Chrono was a mad man" Said Dionysius.
"Destruction and killing, at the end of his days, which was all he could think… the absolute hate for all living things… you have inherited some of that" Said Dionysius.
"…" Alfonso was frustrated.
He know what he had, however, he couldn"t do anything about it.
"This is the worst" Murmured Alfonso.
"However, not everything is lost, there is a solution" Said Artemis.
"There is?" Asked Alfonso.
"Yeah, but is not easy… the reason that we, G.o.ds, call heretics those who have will is because they have the power to oppose the G.o.ds, our wills, with their own, so, in other words…"
"I have to develop my own will in order to defeat his?" Said Alfonso.
"Yes" Said Artemis.
"However, is not easy" A voice came from outside the room.
It was Aphrodite.
"The search for the will is not something that you do in one night, it takes years and years, people normally would die before even getting close to finding a clue about the will" Said Aphrodite.
"Aphrodite?"
"I felt the repulsive will of Chrono, so I came" Said Aphrodite.
"Your inner self, your own nature, which is what we call will" Said Artemis.
"When you find your true self, you will find your will, that"s the best advice we can give you" Said Demeter.
"I don"t get it…"
"You will have to" Said Demeter.
"Uncle"
Dionysius walked towards Alfonso.
"Uncle, we, G.o.ds, have a lot of rules, of course, the majority of them are broken constantly every day by the same person who wrote them… however, there is one rule that we all must follow not matter what"
