Chapter 63 - Chapter 10 part 4 The tragedy of Hathor Cronos

We had departed the facility and as we entered the air Cronos said "Amun isn't a bad guy he had a terrible past and when his power awoke he saw the tragedy that would befall his son. Many of the immortals hate him because of the disaster that occurred in Olympus when Amun prophesised the death of their children due to their own actions they turned on him and basically outlawed his prophecies. I don't hate him in fact I respect him however I will not talk of his other 2 sins."

I now knew there was far more to the tale of Amun so I enquired "Can you tell me more about the world's before Earth?"

Cronos took a deep breath and said "I'm not going into great detail but I will tell you about our homes before the Gaia system we in now. So brace up young 1."

Cronos sat back in his chair on the bridge and said "Well the first 2 immortals were born on Eden the first world the rest of us save you and my daughter were born in the Galaxia system on the planet Titan. Titan was a super earth with a gravity around 20 times greater then that of earth the planet was extremely savage in the start but later we descended into order and it was around then that I was born. I had reached several hundred years of age when Zeus and Gaia were born those 2 unfortunately under went brutality as children and discovered their immortality. The 3 of us plunged the world into chaos as the world began craving immortality I fought to preserve the mortals while Zeus and Gaia fought to destroy all mortals. In the end I lost and our planet was rendered uninhabitable, the fight between the 3 of us continued till we finally were stopped by Isis and Ra. Eventually after several thousand years we figured out how to terraform and Titan was reborn there after came the immortal wars. There were only 50 immortal men so we had multiple wives for the most part and humanity was born from those pairings, the immortal war broke out when immortals started choosing partners from other immortals children and in the end Isis destroyed Titan causing the immortals to have the first treaty and we established our law. After Titan we managed to leave the system and arrived in a planetary system called Aquanous it had 5 liveable planets all of them were water worlds. We established ourselves on the planet Alterra the other 4 were Valdora, Wyvern, Cerino and Rameses. The great 5 were officially established in this system and in the end Gaia and myself ended up destroying 2 worlds causing all 5 worlds to fall into the sun. Then came the Hans system where we lived on the super earth called Terra in the end the sun went super nova and we lost trillions of children 2 other systems had been established and they suffered planetary collisions due to their infant sun. Eventually all immortals gathered again and lived on the planet Moribad in the system of Craton in the end Ra learnt full power state and destroyed the star causing us to lose yet another home. We had lived for 3 billion years like this then we found a system that we named Yggdrasil it had nine liveable super earth's and we lived there for almost 6 billion years the world's were Niflheim, Muspelheim, Asgard, Midgard, Jotunheim, Vanaheim, Alfheim, Svartalheim and Helheim. After that came our last home that was called Olympian and that's where Alexander caused hell to the point that Ra destroyed the system. That's all I want to say about the past worlds and trust me I have pain from watching so many of my children die."

The immortals were almost 13 billion years old and hearing their tale was quiet interesting my 10000 years paled in comparison.

I had several more things to ask about the most important was the rules the immortals used. We had arrived at my crypt in Europe and landed this time I departed the ship first and then asked "Cronos what are the rules that immortal society operated under and how do they differ from mortal law."

Cronos looked at me with a sharp look of intrigue and said "Well can I have a look at human law then I can answer your question?"

Cronos had sat in my control room for an hour and every 5 minutes he would get out of his chair and say "I'm going murder these imbeciles how stupid can you get!"

Cronos repeated this ritual for almost 9 hours then he came up to me and said "Can I borrow your ship and every piece of ammunition you have I need to kill all these imbeciles. I feel disgusted to have created such despicable cruel and stupid creatures."

I understood the feeling after all most human laws were contradictions of the intention of the law.

No using chemical weapons to prevent Prolonged suffering caused Prolonged wars in turn causing more suffering there in lay the contradiction.

Cronos looked up at the roof and said "Immortal society operated by the law of nature so any advantage gained was an advantage you pressed, we had a law prohibiting uncalled for action so engaging in a war required a trail. We had another law that stated no mercy kill all who you fought so no vengeance could be served. We had a treaty violation clause that allowed the victim to call on help without trail if a treaty was violated. We also had 2 anti slavery laws the first prohibited forced slavery of individuals the second prohibited organization slavery so no law passing bodies were allowed."

I was a bit surprised and asked "What do you mean law passing bodies?"

Cronos looked at me and said "Nature laws are set by investigation if you prove your reason before the people you win the end."

I looked back at Cronos and replied to his request "You can't kill all humans they choose stupidity and government."

Cronos was not joking I could tell from his eyes and he sat down and said "So little monster go ahead pick my head."

I was curious about Hathor Cronos despite how it may seem it was all to ensure that I wasn't bringing yet another lose cannon into battle.

I finally asked Cronos "Tell me about Hathor I need to know what to expect from her?"

Cronos had a smirk on his face and said "I told you not to try anything with my daughter right!"

His face was screaming do something and I honestly had enough of that teasing and said "Seriously I need to know if I'm bringing another Alexander to the war or if she is just capable of stumping him out."

Cronos dropped the smirk and said "My daughter was an oddball of an immortal to start with she loved to be all girly and dreamt of falling in love. We knew she was immortal at birth due to the genes required for immortality however at the age of 300 when she was informed she was immortal she went ballistics. We had left her in Jupiter's care however she was hard to handle and after learning to fight and training with the robots we discovered that she had potential to become a great immortal like the 5. Around the time she turned 1000 years of age she learnt to manipulate people using her actions and words, about 40 years later she came across a war toxin called the red spider and started experimenting on people till she used it herself accelerating her training by thousands of years. She had climbed up to Rank 40 by the age of 3000 then she plateaued in the next 4000 years. I had been a bit blinded by Joy that I had an immortal child and didn't notice Zeus had been torturing her. I only found out about the torture when Zeus used her power on Hathor and mutilated her body. Zeus was jealous at the fact that many people loved Hathor so she attacked her again at the age of 6000 and ripped her to pieces. Hathor had some how handled that and found her first love 2 years later unfortunately Zeus had the man seduced and crashed Hathor's wedding. I then started distancing Zeus from Hathor and around the time she was 9000 years old she met Horas. Horas fell for Hathor and ignored all that Zeus threw at him, finally Zeus had enough and rapped the boy to steal even that satisfaction from her daughter. Hathor managed to comfort Horas and the 2 married however Alexander stabbed Horas threw the heart and drove the blade into Hathor incapacitating her. I had believed that Alexander felt Horas lied about what Zeus did so I spared the boy from Hathor. Unfortunately Alexander tormented Hathor and Zeus assisted him in doing so eventually 1 day Alexander dug up bones and soiled them and left it in Hathor's bed with a message saying see what I still do to your beloved! Hathor lost her mind in her Chakra meditation the next day and went on a rampage killing 40000 people. Ra ordered me to apprehend Hathor and dismembered her, in the end I was never going to hurt my precious daughter but she was gone so I had no choice but to seal her. Before we could seal her Ra had a huge fight with the movement Alexander had made and destroyed the entire solar system. We arrived on earth and after Hathor had completed her crypt she dismembered herself and was put into a deep stasis. The rest is history since Alexander showed up and stole her body pieces. There are secrets to her that not even I am privileged to so that's all I have for you."
