Cul stood looking at Bard who was now still unconscious on the ground of the forest, Cul stared at What was happening inside of Bard body, his divine energy grew in quantity and quality while his soul also became stronger, then lightning began emitting from his body bright gold lightning, as they flash they became stronger until Cul was forced to create a barrier to stop them from alerting someone.
But the changes happening to Bard's physical body weren't finished as his hair color turned to gold and he looked younger as his eyes snapped open and exposed his new golden eyes.
"Congratulations, but control this lightning," says Cul
After a couple of minutes, Bard was able to get rid of the lightning as he had a hard time keeping his current power in check, but right now his new divinity was weak, he had gained Zeus divinity but not the progress Zeus had made with it, right now it was like a newly created divinity Bard would have to train and strength it himself.
"Before I go, here."
Cul throw a dark color metal to Bard shaped in the form of a lightning bolt, Zeus's master bolt, Bard had His divinity why not his weapon as well, this was Cul train of thought while giving Bard the Master bolt.
Cul once again disappeared only to appear in front of a door inside the palace, as he looked at the door he remembers how many times he had ignored his mother but she just seemed to love him more and more, at the time it had bothered him but now it didn't, a lot had changed in two hundred years.
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
"Come in." a voice says
Cul pushes the door and enters the room to see his mother looking at him.
"Cul, you have changed a lot in the past years."
"Well two hundred years is a lot of time mother."
"Even the way you say mother has changed, I can actually hear the affection in your voice and see it in your eyes, so you do love your mother after all," says Bestia
"Of course I do, I have come looking for you mother to invite you to leave Asgard with me after the war."
"I figured as much, but where are you going to go?"
"Mother let me show you something, do resist," says Cul as he mobilizes his magic to show his mother some of his memories.
"....."
"Cul, you have created something wonderful, no wonder you have no interest in Asgard, but more importantly is that my grandchild in that woman belly?"
"Yes mother, She is my lover, Gaea."
"Gaea, where have I heard that name?"
"It doesn't matter, will you go with me or not, of course, I will go with you but I will return to Asgard from time to time to check on Odin."
"Your father wanted me to speak to you about you being a threat to Asgard."
"What do you think?"
"I know once Odin leaves you alone, you won't bother with troubling Asgard."
"You are right, Asgard has nothing for me, and with Ragnarok fast approaching Asgard has enough problems excluding me."
"Ragnarok huh."
Suddenly Cul eyes widen as images flashes pash, A huge sword made of fire strong enough to cut worlds in half, and an angry giant, His three brothers running for their lives, Odin's power growing stronger than ever.
These images cames as a surprise to Cul, but it didn't take long for him to figure out what happened, it seemed his future sight ability activated on its own, and it seem Odin would gain the Odin force soon if those images were anything to go by those idiots will be killed by Surtur soon.
'The question now is should I stop their deaths, Odin with or without the Odin force doesn't matter to me right now, I'm way too powerful for that to bridge the gap between us, so should I stop him from getting a power that doesn't pose a danger to me?' thinks Cul
Using his connection to space, Cul searches Asgard and finds Odin and his other brothers still here, it would seem they haven't left for their little adventure yet.
"What the matter Cul?"
"Nothing mother, I just remember I have something to do."
Cul then leaves.
"I'll leave them to do what they want, I couldn't care less if those idiots die, but it only makes sense for me to collect their power, after all, I've cared for them all these years," says Cul with a smile on his face barely stopping himself from laughing.
Coming to this decision Cul returns to his room and creates a portal and leaves Asgard, entering his realm.
Appearing in his Palace, Cul disappears and appears before Gaea as he hears her humming a song while rubbing her belly.
"No matter how much you want it, the baby won't come faster you know," says Cul
"I know darling, but I just can't wait to meet our child, I'm sure our child will be amazing."
"Of course, I'm the baby's father after all."
"Hahahaha, I think I liked it better when you were at least pretending to be cold," Gaea says pouting
"You don't mean that, am I right?" asks Cul as he takes her lips as they start a passion-filled makeout session for the next ten minutes.
"Of course, I prefer all versions of you, after all, it's you no matter what."
"Hmmm, it seems my little Goddess has gotten even better at flirting."
" Well, I can't let you be the only one."
" Anyway, I will be leaving soon, I have an opportunity coming to get stronger, I will need to leave soon to get it."
" Alright, as long as you come back in one piece."
" Don't worry, they aren't a treat to me."
