A few hours ago
City of Olympus
Alex was walking in the bustling city and 8 City guards escorting him and since acquiring the command of all forces of Olympus it also included commanding the city guard of all cities and with that he planned to have their total loyalty
A few minutes later
Alex arrived at Alvos's office who was working at some stacks of paper and as the minister of internal affairs he dealt with corruption which somewhat non existed and also dealing with the flow of supplies and military officers who sent their monthly reports
"So Alex what brings you here to Olympus?" Alvos said as a weak smile plastered in his face and Alex saw Alvos aged faster now his face almost at age of 79.
Alex sat in the chair infront and poured himself a drink and spoke
"Alvos i know that you don't have much time left before your immortality completely disappears but i have come here for two things, first is to get information of the hermit god of Olympus and second is i want to have one last fight" he spoke as he drink the cup of wine and waited for Alvos to respond
"Oh well a duel its what you want then i can do so i can stretch my muscle a bit but first the hermit god in question it will take a while to explain" Alvos spoke as he pushes stacks of paper out of the way and grab a cup were Alex poured wine for him and after finishing his drink he continued
"I have met him a few times first is when he rescued us from the prison of Chronos and hes with Zeus and to exact whos this mans i identity he is the first born of all of us son of Chronos and he hold every ability we have and he mastered them every one of those things but after becoming the heir to Chronos throne he tried killing the hermit in fear of rebellion and that caused him to leave and after we were in our teens he rescued us and gave us the necessary resource and training we created the nation of Olympus to combat him and we tried to make him the king even Zeus tried persuading him to become but left and saying one word to Zeus 'You will become king and I'm not fit to become one' and after that he resided in the plateau were the great pillars of the sky is located he runs a village a perfect small one and the second time i met him was the time
Olympus was facing a great challenge were Chronos led an army over 1 million and invaded on our eastern front and i was with Ares and beg him to help us and he agreed to help us 3 times and this the first time and so with 300 of his men who are highly skilled and along with 200,000 Olympus troops he massacred the Chronos army leaving 270,000 injured Chronos soldiers and he has one advantage that can stand toe to toe with him" he drink from his cup causing Alex to raise an eye brow
"And that is?" Alex with great curiosity
"He can control time also Chronos but the difference he mastered them and taught some of the basics to that 300 soldiers and some techniques that are meant for us gods and he basically his own army of gods and that caused the battle to change sides and injured Chronos and some of his best generals died by his twin blade
And after that he returned back to his home without the celebrations and the second time was dealing with powerful sea creatures that Poseidon was dealing with and he went in and ask for help and he just sent 50 of his men and they completely annihilated the species and in doing so directed the remaining to Chronos ports causing massive famine in his lands"
"So what's his name" Alex spoke with great curiosity
"His name is Arthur von Chronos and the last time he helped as was the battle were Athena and hades died and i was also in that place but after i was cursed he appeared and forced our father to retreat and he brought us back and said the final request is done and left there"
He finished
"So will he help again if its the annihilation of Olympus?" Alex ask
"Most likely not since that means we are weaklings and cannot fight him and plus he earned it he prepared everything for us so we cant just watch and wait for this glorious nation be destroyed so how about the fight" Alvos finished as he stood up and and his clothes slowly transformed to his battle armor and mirror pattern Olympus steel armor and grab his Warhammer hanging on the side of the wall
Alex nodded and both of them head towards the training grounds and after a few minutes of walking they arrived and saw a unit of knights of different gods training and when they saw the two god enter they cleared the ground
"So no holding back?" Alvos ask with a smirk and challenging tone
"Yes no holding back but lets make sure we cant break Olympus" Alex said pulling the sword he choose to wield for a while the Demonic Emperor's sword
"Oh, a new weapon, where did you get that?"
"From another dimension" Alex didn't want to continue and he charged heading straight for Alvos and Alvos did the same
Now present time.
Alvos pulled his head back narrowly dodging the swing and he saw some Alex powers covering the sword making it blunt
Alex seeing him dodge used the momentum and used his right leg and smashed his knee on the oncoming hammer head and Alex didn't feel pain since he manipulated his body system to remove the feeling of pain temporarily
BOOM
Alex managed to deflect Alvos attack but Alvos went in to punch his back since the vulnerability but Alex seeing this jump forward in his direction narrowly missing a second and only grazed the armor but their attacks caused some air explosions
Alex twirled to the side and swing his sword to the left and Alvos swung his Warhammer down causing their weapons to clash
"Damn i feel the weight of the attack" Alvos said his hand shaking using all of his strength to not get overpowered by Alex swing
"Same here" Alex said as his hand shakes slightly
BOOM BOOM BOOM CLANG BOOM
Their blows exchanged and a large crowd gathered most were knights some demi gods and some lower gods looking at the Duel and Ares also came and watch and saw Alex swinging his sword and Alvos swings his hammer and this battle caused the surroundings to be slowly destroyed
Alex begin covering his sword with another energy
'Demonic Emperors Technique Armageddon'
Soon dark energy covered him and his eyes turned black and charged at him
Alvos responded in kind
'Scale the Balance Everfoir'
Soon his Warhammer were on the same level of Alex and soon Alex saw a figure of balance scales and saw they moved in perfect sync and Alex saw Alvos attack increasing in power and almost comparable to him
'What a smart ass move!' Alex thought and continued to attack soon a large explosion that caused the palace to shake and blew the knights watching off their feet and some held the wall
Soon the dust cleared Alex and Alvos weapons were still connected and soon Alex drop his sword and initiated hand to hand combat and did a quick jab to Alvos face
Alvos in turn drop his weapon and raised his arms to block and that caused him to be pushed back a bit and Alex disappeared in his line of sight and appeared behind him and did a low to throw him off balance but Alvos felt the attack before it came and jump and from that height and used his right leg and kick Alex but Alex raised his right arm and block the attack
And their exchange of blows caused some air explosion
Alex Run and grab sword and Alvos did the same and when they turn to each other they swinged their sword at each other and when they clashed it caused some sparks in the air
"Amazing" Alvos spoke with joy since this the time he felt when he lead the troops in the forefront
Alex felt the same
Their battle continued for for hours until they stop and chatted
A few months has passed and Alex oversee the development of his empire and other nations and during a time he was about to sign the paper of the creation shadow squadron since Alex check the suggestions which he allowed
1st-the Squadron members will be in positions of authority and they will be divided to different branches the 1st branch deals with the operation on were the the people of the shadow get deployed
2nd- the 2nd branch are made out of people deployed to the internal affairs of the empire like skilled governors mayors and police officers
3rd branch deals with the outside affairs they infiltrate in positions in power like general officer governors even becoming nobles and they act if its for the Draconia
4th branch deals with the people who rebel or gone rogue and they work closing hands with the assassin X and put a list and they go in person investigation and gather data
Alex signed the papers until he heard his door burst open and with that reaction Alex pull out his revolver and aimed at the person breaking an entry but put it down after looking at the person
He was first somewhat shirtless and he had a helmet with wing desing and his sandals that has small wings and a blue cape over him it was the god of messengers
"What news do you bring me?" Alex spoke as he sat down
"Its…haaa Alvos hes about to Die!" He breath in and out and when Alex heard this he opened the nearest window and jump out and Fly to Olympus creating Different sonic booms
10 minutes later
Alex arrived and saw the gods gather at the entrance of Alvos room and when he entered he saw Poseidon, Zeus, Artemis and Ares they saw Alex entering and his eyes were neutral but inside he was already thinking what he will do
"A-Alex" A weak voice called out Alex and it was Alvos and Alex slowly approach the bed and saw a hand looking for him and when he touch he felt it was already bony and when he saw the face he saw an aged 100 Alvos and already losing breath Alex tried transfer some of his energy but it was instantly block off and saw the curse near his hearts and it was moving like a clock
"I'm here Alvos say what you can" Alex spoke as he go to one knee
"Here i officially give this to you" He stretch his arm out and Hermes gave him a black crown with red and Blue gems and when he got it he slowly place it down on Alex head were Alex felt a tear falling from his eye
Soon he felt Alvos losing power and soon his body begin to fade in crimson dust but not before saying a few words left
"Good luck emperor"
Alex slowly stood up and soon he felt an foreign power that tired to enter his body and he allowed it and soon he released his powers and soon all of Olympus felt the new power
MT Kalinsici
Chronos was sitting on the throne and soon the felt a new surge of power in the direction of Olympus and he touched a slashed wound that never healed in his right shoulder and after a felling the pain of that attack he roared causing the nearby titans look at the mountain in fear and confusion
Back to Olympus
Alex begin walking out and leaving olympus already knew what next
"Wait we need to begin Alvos funeral" Zeus spoke
"No after defeating Chronos that will be the time of his funeral for now beef up the security in the borders and i will begin planning for war"
Soon Alex arrived in the capital of the Siegfried empire and begin planning
"Duke Dimitri you handle the corrupt nobles and i will give a platoon of the chaos brigade and for you Kalvin deal with the somewhat competent nobles and will have the palace guard" Alex finished as he placed the pins down
"So what army group is stationed in the southern Siegfried empire"
"Over all the 1st Army Group over 100,000 Soldiers and with this we can take them up by surprise and for the naval support Draconia will send 3rd marine corps and 4 destroyers and 8 transport ships and they will capture the harbors and cities in the coast" Duke Dimitri Finished speaking and look at Alex who gave him the nod
"Then in a few days they will be here and the new order will begin"
