Chereads / Chosen by the Upper Sky / Chapter 8 - 8. I am a Blessed

Chapter 8 - 8. I am a Blessed

"So, what happens now? I think this is my limit." Dynamis said to the Gods as he is covered in sweat.

"Now. It is time for you to return." Aether said with a calm smile on his face.

"I-I see." Dynamis said though he was feeling weaker.

'Huh. I feel a bit more exhausted than before.' Dynamis thought to himself as he was feeling fatigued.

Aether disappeared from his throne in golden light before he reappeared right beside the boy. Dynamis was surprised when he saw the God beside him as he looked at him while the Primordial supported him.

"Don't worry. You'll wake up back at the same bench where we met." Aether said to him calmly.

"Okay..." Dynamis said as he nodded to him.

"But remember this, because of gaining our blessings you will surely become famous in the human world and would no doubt grow in status and fame. The people will revere you, fear you, and might even hate you, but do not let their thoughts and your status influence your state of mind." Aether said to him seriously.

"Got it." Dynamis said as his eyes were starting to feel heavy.

"And don't be overconfident because you managed to gain the blessings of five Gods. You must continue to train and increase your mastery and power. You asked us about the reason why we give out blessings yes?" Aether asked him in a serious tone.

"Yeah." Dynamis said with a nod.

"Well, you'll understand about it in time. But for a hint, well, just know that there are far worse things than those monsters that you find in the Gates." Aether said to him seriously.

Dynamis looked at the Primordial with half lidded eyes as he slowly nodded to him before his eyes completely closed. Then he became yellow before breaking up into motes as he disappeared from the place. Aether and the Gods watched it happen as he fully disappeared from there.

"Well, I guess this changes a few things. I guess I won in that one huh." Aether said as he looked at the Gods.

"I guess you did." GOD said with a nod at that.

"Then I guess we need to make a new one huh." Aether said with a smile.

At hearing that many of the Gods groaned and talked about how they have to make another new type of bet again. Ishtar is currently smiling with a smug face as she was being given some gold coins by Ereshkigal who's eyes were twitching a bit.

Tsukuyomi has a smile on his face. Susanoo has his face planted on the floor as he groaned with Amaterasu's left fist glowing bright yellow and letting out steam as she has an exasperated look.

'Like always he has to be put down by sis.' Tsukuyomi thought to himself with a satisfied smile.

'Susanoo really needs to reign in his rash behaviour. Thankfully I managed to stop him before he could make a scene.' Amaterasu thought to herself as she looked at her brother.

Susanoo groaned out while the rest of the Shinto Gods looked at him in pity. The Storm God slowly raised his head and looked at Tsukuyomi and glared at him. The moon God felt his gaze and looked at him.

"I'm going to kill you." Susanoo mouthed as he glared at his brother.

"I would like to see you try." Tsukuyomi mouthed in response.

Amaterasu just sighed again when she saw their interaction. She just hoped that they could at least be amicable in the coming future.

The others Gods were looking at Vishnu due to his choice of giving his blessing to Dynamis. Gabriel was being talked to by the other Angels while God is just looking at the interaction with a smile.

Meanwhile in the Park

Dynamis groaned as he slowly opened his eyes as he found himself looking at the night sky as he squinted his eyes and blinked a few times. He realised that he is laying on the bench and slowly got up and sat as he held his head.

"What happened?" Dynamis said to himself.

He then remembered what had happened as his eyes widened but then he felt his consciousness blank out for a second as he gasped.

"Agh... Agh... Ahhhh." Dynamis groaned out as he felt his heartbeat growing stronger.

His eyes glowed gold before he raised his head and looked up before his entire body glowed in the same golden light and it stayed that way for a few seconds before it stopped. It revealed Dynamis, but he has become more buff with his clothes being a bit stretched, his hair has become bright blonde now. His face has also become more beautiful than before.

He opened his eyes which revealed themselves to be the same, though his inner amber iris eye colour being brighter golden now and his brown outer iris being on the lighter side. His pupils became white as well and his height has also increased as well alongside his size.

Compared to before he has become more buff and can pass of as a very strong and muscled individual. But his mind was blanking out as he was feeling dizzy. He slowly stood up as he wobbled a bit as he thought about it.

'Need... to get... home...' Dynamis thought to himself as he held his head.

He remembered his room at the apartment and he wanted to get back home as he was getting dizzier as he grit his teeth. Then his eyes glowed gold before his body disappeared in light as he disappeared from the park.

In his apartment Dynamis appeared in a flash of golden light as he stumbled there. He grabbed on the table but he put too much force and broke it in half as he fell on the floor and groaned out as he was losing consciousness.

"Ah..." Dynamis moaned out as he tried to get up.

But it was all for naught as his eyes closed as he lost the strength in his body before he fell on the floor unconscious.

Time skip

It was early afternoon when Dynamis finally opened his eyes. He let out a groan again as he became conscious again. After that he slowly pushed himself off the floor and sat on the floor as he rubbed his head.

"Ugh. Finally it ends." Dynamis said as he rubbed his head.

He looked down after he rubbed his head and his eyes widened. He saw his legs, which have become very buff and pumped which he couldn't believe as his eyes went wide. He looked at his arms and saw that they have become buff and strong as well.

He got on his feet and looked at his whole body to see that he has become much more muscled than before. He ran to his room and looked at the mirror and saw himself as his eyes widened in shock.

"I'm jacked." Dynamis said to himself in awe.

He then clearly remembered the events of the previous night and how he had been blessed by five Gods all at once, well four Gods and one angel if he was being technical but the point stands.

"I'm pretty sure no one has been blessed by five Divine beings at once." Dynamis said to himself as he looked at his newly strengthened body.

'I also became taller and my face has become much of streamlined and handsome as well? My hair is now a bright blonde colour and my eyes have become a light brown - bright gold coloured as well huh. And my iris has become white from the normal black.' Dynamis noted to himself in his mind as he looked at his own appearance.

He moved his body a bit to get a feel around it to make sure that he is a bit more familiar with his own body.

*Tear* *Rip* *Tear*

"Ah... I need new clothes." Dynamis said to himself as he finally noticed the state of his clothes.

Due to his astonishment at his suddenly stronger and changed body he failed to notice that his clothes has tears on them, most likely due to his body changing. But considering how his body is now his clothes won't fit and he needs new ones of bigger size.

He removed his shirt and looked at it before he placed it on the table. He then grabbed his phone and looked at the contact information of his elder sister Olivia. He knows that he needs new clothes but he couldn't exactly go out with torn clothes and so this left him with the option of calling his elder sister.

'No use in delaying it.' Dynamis thought to himself as he called the number.

He waited for a few moments before the call was picked up as the line connected.

"Hello? Dyn? Why are you calling me during class hours?" Olivia asked him as her voice was heard, though it sounded a bit nervous.

'Why does she sound nervous? Is she attending some meeting?' Dynamis thought to himself as he heard her voice.

"I didn't go to class today." Dynamis said to her.

"What!? Why?!" Olivia asked him in a shocked tone.

"It's a bit complicated. Can you come to my apartment, and with new clothes of a bigger size than mine?" Dynamis asked her.

"Why would you need clothes bigger than you?" Olivia asked him in a suspicious tone.

"You'll understand when you get here. Please sis." Dynamis said to her as he sighed.

She didn't say anything for a few moments as he stared at his phone.

"Alright. I'll buy some clothes like you said she come to your room. But you must tell me what's wrong with you." Olivia said to him in a serious tone.

"Got it." Dynamis said to her as he nodded, despite not needing to.

"Good. See you in a few minutes." Olivia said before she cut the call.

Dynamis put his phone on the table and walked out of the room. But then he saw his broken table as he grimaced when he saw it.

"That's going to be a problem." Dynamis said to himself as he saw the table.

He went and sat on his couch and waited for his sister. In approximately 20 minutes after he had called her the doorbell to his room rang as he was surprised. He stood up and went to the door and peeked at the peephole and saw Olivia standing outside.

He opened the door and stood behind it as he opened it. He looked at Olivia as she walked inside the room while looking down, something which confused him as he looked at her.

But then she looked at the room and her eyes widened when she saw the broken table. She turned around to look at where he is with a questioning look on her face. But her face falters when she caught sight of her brother, now changed and standing in front of her, taller then herself.

"Dyn?" Olivia called out in shock.

"Hey Olivia. I am a Blessed." Dynamis said to her with a nervous chuckle.
