"Why don't you concentrate on how you look like before, I think that would work" Amaterasu suggested.
"Well ok, if you say so" Shiro replies as he closes his eyes to concentrate, just then his body begins to glow, a bolt of lightning strikes him and smoke fills the entire room. Once the smoke cleared, there he was, back to his old self and all the gods and angels stared at him with surprise.
"He's…" Odin said as he stared surprised
"Uh-um," Bastet said as she too stared
"A boy!?" Zeus finally said something
There stood tiny Shiro in the entire room
Camiel laughs "Haahaaa ha, he's the new champion?" she laughs harder.
Shiro felt like he shrunk even more
"I hate to say it, but she's right, you're not much" Freyr added
"Can you even defend yourself?" Tsukuyomi asks
"N-no" Shiro replies nervously, getting their attention
"No, I can't defend myself, let alone someone else, but I won't let that stop me" Shiro added, getting the attention of the elders in the room (Jade emperor, Micheal, Zeus, Odin, Ra, and Amaterasu).
"I was born weak, but I still want to be a hero, even without a skill, my father turned his back on me and my mom, that put me down, but I didn't let that stop me, everyone I've known has seen me as nothing much my entire life, but I promised myself that I would strive hard to achieve my dream to be a someone who saves people life because I don't want anyone to have to go through what I am going through!" Shiro said with a tear on his face, that actually stirred something in them as they all looked at themselves.
"And I'll keep working hard towards my dream" Shiro added
"What if we say no?" Zafkiel asks, getting the others' attention
"What if we don't find you worthy?" she added, "Well, I guess I have to find my own way to achieve that dream" Shiro responds
"How so boy, with no skill?" Osirus askes
Shiro smiles a compassionate smile, his eyes filled with kindness and empathy, this alone actually moves Micheal, Amaterasu, Inari, and… Freyr?
"A person recently told me a hero isn't judged by their skill, but by their actions and heart, a hero is someone that helps with no reward, even with their lives on the line!" Shiro yelled at the gods "he called me a hero and even if he is the only person who believes in me in this entire world, I will become a hero and I don't care what any other person says or thinks of me, whether they some god or deity" Shiro added, the entire room was silent.
"You won't become a hero child" Zeus finally spoke with an intimidating glare he gave to Shiro, which Surprised the others with his statement "Because you are already one" he stated shuddering before finishing his sentence.
"That was so amazing, you definitely sound like a hero and that fire's just burning inside of you" Appollo added
"You got some gut kid, raising your voice at the gods, but I'm convinced," Hercules said, Shiro bowed his head in forgiveness. "What about you Atlas?" Hercules asks showing off a smirk at Atlas.
"Does it look like I have a choice" Atlas sneers
"That reminds me, why is he in chains" Shiro asks in genuine curiosity
"Oh, that's because he's a titan, an enemy of mankind" Hercules responds
"Yeah, I remember reading in old myth that he was punished to bear the weight of the earth, wasn't that enough" Shiro added.
"Apparently, they didn't think so!" Atlas retorted
"Silent, with your crimes your lucky to not be thrown in Tartarus" Zeus added.
"Back to the matter on hand" It was Anubis this time who spoke
"Boy, I have a trail for you" he added presenting a golden scale.
"Hold up, you can't honestly be thinking that!" Bastet said surprised to Anubis when she saw the scale.
"Yes, I am, if he is truly pure of heart, then he will have no problem," Anubis said.
"What do I have to do?" Shiro asks nervously.
"Just step on this side of the scale" Anubis replies
Anubis was a giant compared to Shiro, around 13-15 ft, with a black dog head and clawed hands wearing Egyptian attire, the scale plate could easily accommodate Shiro's tiny structure.
He placed Shiro on one side of the scale and a feather on the other side and waited patiently, suddenly there was an audible "CLANG!".
"Im…im…possible!" Anubis stutters in shock as his eyes nearly shoot out of his head, Ra of course also looks in surprise and confused, Horus and Osirus are both rebooting their mind.
"What happened" Shiro said puzzled way high up, as apparently, he was weighed against the feather, but it looked like it weighed a ton compared to him.
"How?!" Anubis asks in shock
"Hmm, that my boy, the purest of them all!" Hermes and Hercules both laugh, Gabriel even looking more excited.
"Ok, it's my turn!" the jade emperor said as he approached Shiro and presented him with a crystal ball, "Now boy, channel all your energy into this ball," he said.
