Everyone was interested in the story. Especially the mother of the protagonist who believed that the mortal was going to corrupt her son.
But there was one girl even more interested in the story and reading it, so before anyone spoke she spoke first.
Annabeth: Lady Hestia. Please let me read?
Hestia would just give him a calm smile and answer him.
Hestia: Of course, dear, here, but remember, I'm Aunt Hestia.
Annabeth: Yes, I will keep it in mind, Aunt Hestia.
Chapter 3
How to love eternally? - Part 2
Kairo, true to his word, returned to Kineon, and visited Chloe and Eleni's house, knocking on the door that was opened by Eleni.
Eleni: Lord Kairo, I didn't expect you to come back.
Kairo: Didn't I promise to come back? - I would ask with grace
Eleni was just blushing with embarrassment.
Eleni: Yes, you said you were going to come back, but I thought they were lies.
Hera: How dare that mortal believe that my son would lie to her.
Hephaestus: To be fair, it's very strange that I actually tried to help her.
Hera would only give Hephaestus a look, leaving the god silent.
Kairo: Why do you think I would lie to you?
Eleni: Normally the gods don't help mortals.
Kairo: I understand the origin of your distrust, but I am a man of my word and if I promise to help I will do so, now can you let me pass?
Eleni: Of course Lord Kairo, sorry for not letting you in sooner - I would say with regret and fear that perhaps the god is offended by your boldness.
So Kairo entered Eleni's home again. But he notices someone's absence.
Kairo: Sorry for the intrusion, but where is Chloe?
Eleni: She's outside playing with her friends.
Kairo: I understand, I hope you have fun, but moving on to the topic of your illness, please I need you to take this - Handing a bottle to Eleni, a small one with green liquid.
Eleni: This... Lord Kairo, it's not that I doubt you, but what is this?
TEveryone was with the same doubt: What was that bottle?
Athena: Uncle Hades, do you know what that jar will contain?
Hades: Hmm, I currently don't know what that jar contains... but perhaps it is information stored in the Underworld.
Zeus: Then you have very dangerous information - I would say accusing Hades.
Rhea: Zeus, do not believe that Hades wants to overthrow your throne.
Hades: Also spark, I said maybe, it may be information that I have or just a creation of that dimension.
To prevent tension from increasing in the room, Annabeth continued reading.
Kairo: This jar is my creation. What it does is that it analyzes your disease and eliminates it but in exchange it reduces your lifespan, currently it reduces it to you only living 6 years after taking it, but it is not without flaws, because despite eliminating the disease it leaves your body and soul very weak, you have to avoid strenuous jobs or jobs that involve a lot of stress.
Apollo: Incredible, that bottle has a very powerful cure.
Demeter: But it is not without flaws, it may cure you, but it leaves you almost useless for society.
Apollo: I know, but if he manages to perfect that cure, imagine the possibilities, the mortality rate from diseases would reduce, increasing human life expectancy.
That left everyone silent, because if Apollo was right and he is, it would be a great advance for humanity.
So Annabeth returned to reading.
Eleni: That's amazing, but if I take it, will I become useless?
Kairo: You can't still take care of and be with your daughter, but you'll have to avoid working too much.
Eleni: But then how am I going to survive? I have no other source of money apart from my jobs - I would say worried
Kairo: Yesterday I told you to calm down, I'll take care of it.
Eleni: But...
Cairo: *Sigh* Look, I understand your concern, really... but if you don't drink that bottle, I couldn't tell you how long you have left to live, you may survive until Chloe's adulthood or maybe tomorrow Thanatos will claim your soul, but if you drink this liquid, you will I can guarantee 6 more years
Phoebe: But how dare that man impose himself?
Artemis: Phoebe is not imposing herself, she is telling the truth, besides that it is not his fault that she is sick. I didn't even know her when she got sick.
Phoebe: But he's making her take that medicine.
Artemisa: Because if she doesn't take it she will leave her daughter alone, but by taking that medicine she at least has the certainty that when she leaves she will leave everything ready for her daughter.
Zoe: Phoebe I understand your hatred towards men, I partly share it, but what Lady Artemis says is true, he is offering an option, it is up to her to take it or not.
So Phoebe, seeing that neither her lieutenant nor Amante supported her, could do nothing but remain silent and wait for them to continue reading.
Eleni: Okay, I'll take it... But promise that you're really going to help me.
Kairo would just roll his eyes.
Kairo: Yes, I promise to take care of you and Chloe.
With that promise Eleni drank what was in the bottle, first she realized that it had no taste, it was just like water and when she finished it. She suddenly felt weak and almost fell, but strong arms held her up and she saw that they were Kairo's arms who lifted her up bridal style.
Kairo: I had to tell you this could happen. *Sigh* I was so excited that it will work, that I forgot the immediate consequences
Hera: I told you, she wants to corrupt Kairo.
Hades: I saw...
He had to shut up because of Hera's gaze, which left him frozen without even being able to move.
Hades: You're right, that mortal wants to corrupt Kairo. How dare she?
So Hera stopped seeing him and Persephone took his hand to comfort him because she also felt the terror.
But just as Kairo was about to carry her to a chair, Chloe arrived.
Chloe:...
This year:...
Cairo:...
Chloe would just start to leave and closing the door she started to talk.
Chloe: I only ask that you give me a little brother...
Kairo: Chloe is not that...
Chloe: No, no, I don't understand, please take care of my mom and me.
So the little troll left, leaving Kairo and Eleni blushing.
Rea: Hahaha I love that girl
Dionysus: Yes, that's nice. I would say even looking at your wine magazine
Thalia: At least you could say it without seeing the magazine.
Dionisio: Whatever you say, Taquia, whatever you say.
Annabeth to prevent Thalia from getting into even more trouble continue reading
3 months later
We can see our protagonist at Eleni and Chloe's house and celebrating a party with just the three of them.
Eleni: Happy birthday my girl - She would say hugging her daughter
Chloe: Thank you, mom.
Kairo: And am I painting? I mean I even brought the cake.
Chloe would hug Kairo happily
Chloe: Thank you Kairo for the cake and the gifts.
To celebrate Chloe's birthday, Kairo brought her a simple cake with fruits and some new clothes so she can dress differently.
Hestia: It's nice what Kairo is doing for Chloe and Eleni
Rhea: True, he is like the protector of both of us, and he is also a very good person.
Hera: Of course he was going to be a good person, don't you see who his parents are?
Ares: A neurotic woman who kills innocent children who never asked to be born and an emo who spends his time locked up in the underworld and is treated like the worst being to ever exist.
That left everyone silent because they never expected that response from someone like Ares.
But it left Hera and Hades angry
Ares: What do you see me?
After that scene Annabeth resumed reading.
Kairo: Well, consider that this is just one of the first gifts I plan to give you, if you behave well.
Chloe: So I plan to always behave well, but I still need a gift.
Eleni: Which one? - Ask with fear and distrust
Chloe: Give me a little brother
Kairo y Eleni: CLOEEEE!!!!
Everyone in the room started laughing at the girl and her way of messing with others, except Hera who looked seriously at the situation
one week later
Kairo and Eleni would be seen talking calmly, but they are interrupted by a crying Chloe, making Kairo and Eleni approach to see what happened and as they approach they notice that the clothes Kairo bought her are damaged and muddy.
Kairo: Chloe, what happened? - He asked, worried about Chloe who is in Eleni's arms.
Chloe: Some girls were mean and said that I stole the clothes I'm wearing, when I said I'm not a thief, they called their parents, who are men from a rich house, and they destroyed my clothes. and they threw me into the mud
Everyone in the room looked at the girl with pity. Even the most closed ones because no girl deserves that
But Hades and Hera felt furious and waited for Kairo to do something.
After hearing what Chloe said, Kairo saw red and his golden eyes began to glow and slit like a reptile's. Thus touching Chloe's head he began to speak.
Kairo: Shhh. Don't worry, everything will get better I promise, but for now go get cleaned up...
Chloe: But the clothes - I would say even in tears
Kairo: The clothes can be cleaned or changed, don't worry my girl, everything will be fine. Eleni please help Chloe clean herself
Eleni would just give a grateful look at Kairo for helping her comfort Chloe. But I would see how it went
Eleni: Where are you, Cairo?
Kairo: Do Divine Justice.
Eleni just stared at the door for a second to take Chloe to bathe.
Ares: Now the good part begins.
Grover: Why?
Clarise: It's not obvious, let's see how the mother of some bastards breaks
Ares: That's how you speak daughter, continue reading daughter of Athena.
Inside a giant, extravagant house you can see three men, all talking as if nothing in the world will affect them.
Man 1: That brat dares to dress better than my daughter. Who does she think she is?
Man 2: True, plus it's most likely that I stole those clothes.
Man 3: We had to call a soldier to imprison her
Xxxx: Oh so they think they are very powerful. An ethereal voice would say
1: Who are you? How dare you come into my house? He asks the owner of the voice with fury and fear.
Xxxx: I... I'm the one who will execute some bastards. When he finished speaking, Kairo appeared in front of them in his splendor.
3: You're just a booger...
He couldn't finish because everyone felt an aura of death, they couldn't even breathe.
Kairo: Simple mortal silence. I am Kairo, god of Divine Justice and I come to judge some bastards
2: How dare you...
Before they finished, everything around them changed, they were no longer in the living room, they were in a place full of dead and putrefaction, where flames consumed everyone and behind the white-haired man a dragon appeared that seemed to be made of flames.
Kairo: No, how dare you bastards mistreat and threaten a girl, how dare you make her cry, I'm going to warn you because I consider myself a just god. Get out of Kineon and I might not kill you and your offspring.
1: You don't know who our matron goddess is, it's Hera the queen of Olympus
Kairo: And I am the son of Hera and Hades, the protector of Eleni and Chloe and I warn you a second time, if you do not leave Kineon before dawn I will destroy your souls, but first I will torture you until you ask me for the gift of the death, so out of Kineon, I'm not going to give a third warning
And just as it materialized, it vanished as if it had never existed. And the three men began to get their things ready to leave.
Everyone in the room was silent, because they never expected this threat from Kairo, who until now had presented himself as someone calm and peaceful.
Ares: Why
Clarise: One
Percy: Demon
Nico: What the hell is that place and that dragon? - I would ask with fear
Omega: The place is the depths of Tartarus and the dragon is the sacred animal of Kairo, it is called Balerion.
That left everyone even more amazed.
Omega: Please continue reading.
one year later
Eleni: Kairo, where are you taking me? - Eleni would ask, since she was blindfolded.
Kairo: For your birthday present.
Eleni: Thank you, but I don't really need a gift Kairo - I would say very humbly
Kairo: Nonsense, everyone deserves at least a gift on their birthday, even if it's just a few simple congratulations.
Eleni: But I don't want to abuse your trust, plus you already give me and Chloe enough things, you are giving us food, clothing and you made our lives easier.
Kairo: But I want to give you this, plus those are not gifts, it's me keeping my word to take care of you both.
Eleni was just blushing at what was said.
Hestia: How cute they look like a couple.
Rea: Yes and they seem like a very nice and healthy relationship.
Hera: Not only is he keeping his word, they are not a couple.
Persephone: But... I'll shut up, I'll shut up - I would say from the look that Hera is giving her.
Kairo: Well here it is.
So Kairo removes Eleni's blindfold. Making her start blinking to get used to the light and what she saw silenced her.
It was a house and a very beautiful one to say the best, it was in the neighborhood where he always wanted to live near the park and the town square. After seeing that he could only turn around and hug Kairo.
Hestia: What a beautiful gift
Rea: True, you would never expect that.
Demeter: Maybe he's making her fall in love.
Hera: Never, my son would not dare to manipulate a woman for mere pleasure.
Hades: True.
Poseidon: Ah, he's already his son and he doesn't even exist. Did they not want to bring him to life?
When Zeus was about to reply to his brother's comment, he had to stop because of his mother's look.
Eleni: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you - This is how I would continue thanking Kairo
Kairo just hugs him back, laughing. And comforting Eleni who was crying with joy.
Kairo: Come on, let's go into the house.
Eleni: Of course, let's go
Eleni was excited to see her new house, it had 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a very spacious living room.
Eleni: It's beautiful, thank you Kairo, really Kairo.
Kairo: Now, now, now, I just wanted to give you a gift and a safer place so Chloe can grow up happy and protected.
Eleni: Ha, you're better than Chloe's father.
Kairo: Now, I've always had this doubt. What happened to Chloe's father?
Everyone had the same doubt: Where was the girl's father?
Eleni: Good *Sigh* But First you have to understand my story, I was an orphan, I never knew who my parents were, but I'm not going to tell you that I suffered more than any orphan, but it wasn't easy for me either. There were times when I didn't have anything to eat, but I searched for it.
This information made women with domains of home and family even sadder.
But one day when I was 17 years old I met a rich young man from the neighboring town. He saw me and liked it, he started flirting with me, he made me a thousand promises, that he was going to give me a life of luxury, with mansions and other things. But that didn't interest me because I truly came to love him.
Demeter: Filth of a man.
Hera: You fucking bastard
Persephone: Lying son of a bitch
Artemis: I wish I could torture him.
So all the women began to curse and the men in a corner all together crying.
Omega only saw everything a little funny and a little scared.
5 minutes later
Omega: Have you calmed down yet?
Women: Yes
Omega: Well, keep reading.
My love was so much that I gave myself to him physically, where I ended up pregnant with Chloe, when I told him, the bastard abandoned me, he had a fiancée and I was just a game for him, I tried to ask him for help, but I found out that the very coward He had gone to the capital. This is how I ended up alone with Chloe, I was a stupid and naive young woman, but I don't regret it because thanks to that I have my daughter, who is my whole world.
Kairo: Wow... I'm sorry for what you had to suffer, Eleni.
Hestia: We all think alike, poor woman.
Rhea: But at least he's happy and doesn't blame his daughter for his misfortunes.
Demeter: True, he is grateful for having her by his side.
Eleni: I don't want to feel sorry for what Kairo experienced.
Kairo: And what I feel is not pity, it is true sadness, because no one deserves what happened to you, but I am equally impressed by the type of woman you are, someone who despite the difficulties keeps going, is something admirable.
With those words Eleni had to blush, because it is not every day you receive such praise from a man and even less so from a God.
Eleni: We have to look for Chloe.
Kairo: Right, let's go.
Rea: How cute my grandson is, and what a gentleman he is.
Artemis: And he recognized the courage of that woman, because she is right, many others would have blamed their daughter or son for their misfortune.
Demeter: Plus they make a nice couple.
Persephone: True, very beautiful UwU
We can see an 8-year-old Chloe, the girl was left behind, malnourished and with dirty and damaged clothes. Now she is a healthy girl with good clothes. He was playing with a ball peacefully, but that peace was interrupted by a little girl.
Xxxx: So the disposable is here today. I would say sarcastically.
Chloe: I'm not a disposable Maya.
Maya: So where is your dad? If you are not disposable, why isn't your mother here taking care of you? Or wait, it's true she is sick.
Chloe: At least they love me and don't leave me hanging all day.
Maya: Unfortunate, but they give me everything I want and I have my two parents. Where are you?
Chloe: This - Chloe would look for how to respond and when she saw Kairo next to her mother an idea came to her. So Chloe ran and screamed - Mamaaaaa, Papaaaa, they're finally here - She would say while jumping into Kairo's arms to hug him.
Leaving the two adults static, because they never expected this result
What the girl did also left Hera petrified in her seat.
Aphrodite: Fufufufu, what a beautiful couple, where love flourishes.
Rea: It was also very nice that Chloe called Kairo dad.
Demeter: Now they can give him a little sister.
Hera:¡¡¡ NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Hestia: Calm down sister.
Hera: How do you want me to calm down Hestia, tell me.
Hestia: Since that's the worst that can happen? So please Annabeth continue reading.
Kairo, by pure reflex, grabbed Chloe in mid-air and hugged her against his chest, where she was still static.
Maya: Lie, that's not your dad, they don't look alike at all.
Chloe: Because I look like my mom. Meet my dad Kairo, the coolest dad in the world
Maya: No...
Chloe: If you see now, where are yours Maya?
Maya: Well, working to be able to live in a mansion and not in that shack where you live.
Eleni: Actually that's why we came to look for you Chloe, we moved house.
Chloe: Really mom?
Eleni: Yes, Kairo gave us the house for my birthday.
Chloe: Incredible, you see Maya, I have the best parents in the world - Sticking her tongue out.
Eleni: Chloe, don't do that and ask for forgiveness - I would say in a commanding tone.
Chloe: But mom...
Eleni: No buts.
Chloe: Sorry for offending you Maya.
Maya: Yes... of course...
Eleni: Well let's go, let's go Kairo
Kairo would only follow Eleni automatically, still in shock.
Ares: Haha it seems like you don't know how to answer ha
Apollo: Poor Kairo, he sure needs a guide
Hermes: I like that girl.
So Kairo's brothers made fun of him
Already in the new house you can see the three sitting in the living room
Kairo: Chloe, why did you call me dad?
Chloe: Does it bother you? - I would say with a little fear
Kairo: Not anything like that, it just caught me by surprise.
Chloe: But it doesn't bother you, right?
Kairo: No, I don't mind Chloe.
Eleni: But you haven't responded yet. Why did you call him dad?
Chloe: Because Kairo is my dad, he takes care of us, protects and loves us unconditionally, and he always prioritizes our happiness, that's why he is a dad. Or you don't want me to call him Mr. Kairo - I would say with teary eyes.
Kairo could only hug her and start pampering her.
Kairo: Don't forgive your stupid father Chloe, you can call me whatever you want, besides I would feel honored that you consider me your father, ask me anything
Chloe: Whatever?
Kairo: Whatever - I'd say self-confident
Eleni began to be afraid of her daughter's gaze.
Chloe: So I want a little brother.
Eleni: CLOEEEE!!!
This is how this unusual family was born
Rea: What a beautiful girl, consider Kairo as her father.
Persephone: Well, with everything he does for her, how can he not consider it as such?
Hera: I knew that was going to happen. I told them, but they listened to me nooo, why? Because Hera is crazy
Hestia: Yes, now sister, you were right.
Zeus: Hmm, don't let it be seen that he is easily manipulated with a girl.
Hades: At least one girl he considers his daughter and not just for having a hole to fuck
Zeus: How dare you
Hades: I dare because I speak the truth
Poseidon: Yes
Hades: You are not far behind either, sir, I carry you through the water.
Poseidon: Oh come on I did it once, once
Rea: Calm down, the three of you - That's how the fight stopped - continue reading, dear.
4 years later
Inside the house, in Eleni's room
Hermes: Now the cool thing is coming.
Hera: No, nothing will happen.
Athena: If something happened
Poseidon: And what would that owl head be?
Athena: Barnacle brain, think. What were the specifications that Kairo gave about what Eleni took?
Poseidon: That I would only live 6 more years after taking it
Athena: And how old was Chloe when she took it?
Artemis: I was 6 years old...
That put the room in dead silence, because everyone caught the idea of Athena
Aphrodite: Shit
Hephaestus: Yes, you can say it again.
You can see a tired and weakened Eleni
Eleni: My time to leave is getting closer.
Kairo: Yes...
Eleni: You know, I don't regret anything I experienced.
Kairo: Really?
Eleni: Yes because if I hadn't experienced it, I could never have had Chloe, nor would I have met you.
Kairo: I'm not that special either.
Eleni: For me, yes you are.
Kairo: Why?
Eleni: Because I love you Kairo, I have loved you for many years now.
Kairo could only stay silent and cry.
Kairo: Why didn't you tell me before? - I would ask crying
Eleni: I didn't want to tie you down or make our relationship weird.
Kairo: Eleni, none of that would have happened... because I love you too
Now it was Eleni's turn to cry, the man she loves is returning the feeling, but it's too late.
Eleni: And you, why didn't you ever say anything?
Kairo: I was afraid...
Eleni: Scared?
Cairo: Yes, I'm afraid Eleni, you are the first woman who captured my heart and the first one I have been in love with. I didn't know how to react or what to do in that situation, so I preferred not to say anything.
Eleni just smiled sadly, it seems that the two were cowards in showing their true feelings.
Eleni: Can I ask you two things, please? I know they will sound selfish but, I ask you, please fulfill those two wishes.
Kairo: Ask me whatever you want
Eleni: Take care of Chloe, like your own daughter, Kairo please take care of Chloe
Kairo: That is an unnecessary request Eleni, Chloe is already my daughter, she has been my daughter for a long time and no matter how much time passes, she will always be, she is now and she will be in a thousand years
Eleni: Thank you...
Kairo: There's nothing to thank Eleni, I'm just doing what any good father would say and do.
Eleni: Now my second wish
Kairo: What would that be?
Eleni: Please give me a kiss, I don't want to leave with the regret of not being able to kiss the man I love, even just once.
Kairo would bring his lips closer to Eleni's lips, ending in a kiss, there was no lust in that kiss, only love, only care and comfort.
Eleni pulled Kairo to the bed.
Eleni: Please don't walk away...
Kairo: Never...
Eleni: I feel cold and hot, what a contradictory thing.
Kairo: You're not the first person to feel cold from the kiss of death.
Eleni: And I won't be the last either, but I'm happy to have my husband by my side taking care of me, it makes me feel warm and protected
Kairo: Yes... see you tomorrow Eleni, rest
Eleni: See you tomorrow Kairo, I love you
Kairo: I love you too Eleni, I love you too
The room is silent, no one dared to say anything, not even the mischievous Hermes.
Percy: Dude, that's...
Grover: Yes... How to react to that...
Nico: You can't...
Aphrodite: What a horrible tragedy
Artemis: Aren't you supposed to love this kind of show?
Aphrodite: Yes, but the intense ones, the ones that carry passion, the ones of this type of true love, I can't help but feel sorry for them.
Hephaestus: Yes... I never expected this
Apollo: Nobody did...
Annabeth: There is still reading
Omega: Keep reading daughter of Athena, until the end of the chapter
A week later, cemetery
Inside the cemetery Chloe can be seen crying in Kairo's arms.
Chloe: Because? Because? Because? Why did mom have to leave?
Kairo: Shh everything will be fine - Kairo would be trying to comfort Chloe
Chloe: How is it going to be okay?
Kairo: Because I'm going to stay by your side
Chloe: But why did he leave? *sobs*
Kairo could only think of one thing to calm Chloe down.
Calm down my little girl,
Mom and Dad will take care of you
Calm down my little girl,
Although mom is no longer here
If you get lost in the forest
Father of finding,
If you are hungry
Mother feeds you
It doesn't matter if mom is gone
Well, she's still alive in our hearts.
It doesn't matter if dad leaves
That will always protect you
Calm down my little girl,
Mom and dad will take care of you
Calm down my little girl
Although mom is no longer here
Cry little girl
That mom is no longer here, but her light will guide you
Cry little girl
Because dad and mom will always love you
The room was silent, with all the women crying, even the hunters
Apolo: He has a good voice, but the song is very depressing, but it gives comfort at the same time
Hestia: True, the truth is that it was a very beautiful song.
Ares: Bah, it's just corny.
Percy: Then why are you crying? -I would say while Ares shed male tears.
Ares: Shut up!!!
Omega: Well, please continue reading, there is still a little more to go.
In Olympus, 3 months had already passed after Eleni's death.
Aphrodite, the goddess of love, has wanted to sleep with Kairo for some time, but not even using her enchanted talk was she able to control him.
So she was going to use Kairo's pain to her advantage, using her power she transformed into Eleni and was about to look for Kairo.
Hades and Hera just give Aphrodite a cold look.
Aphrodite: Hey, that's another me, I'm not to blame for anything.
Hera: But you could do it in this world
Aphrodite: Never
Hera: I remember you...
Aphrodite: We said that never happened.
Hera: I never agreed on anything.
Omega: Better keep reacting
A Eleni: Kairo dear, I'm back.
Kairo: Eleni...
A Eleni: If it is me, dear, because of your love I was able to come back to life...
Eleni had to keep quiet because Kairo grabbed her by the neck and was strangling her very hard.
Right now Aphrodite was a little afraid
Hermes: Friend, I think that Aphrodite is going to die.
Apollo: yes...
Aphrodite: Thanks for the support
Apollo: We're just telling the truth, that's all.
A Eleni: Kairo dear sweater
Kairo: You dare to take her form and tarnish her image and beauty Aphrodite.
Thus eliminating the illusion of Aphrodite
Aphrodite: Kairo dear...
Kairo: Maybe you have his body, but never his soul, his heart and his real eyes, for me you are nothing more than a horrible imitation
Aphrodite, wounded by pride, did the stupidest thing in the world
Aphrodite: If I were you, I would let go and ask for forgiveness, otherwise I could do bad things to that girl you are taking care of.
When the threat ended, a cold air began to be felt throughout the world, all animals, beasts and monsters began to tremble, from the smallest and insignificant, to the largest and most powerful. Well, everyone felt the aura of an even bigger and more powerful predator.
Even in the room everyone felt a chill of death except Hades and Hera.
Kairo's eyes opened and behind him appeared a giant and imposing dragon, Kairo's sacred animal, Balerion.
Kairo: You are the most horrendous being that I can ever know, Aphrodite, a goddess of love who does not know how to love, who only thinks about her pleasure and lust, who only knows how to satisfy her own feelings but never the feelings of others. That's why I prevented my brother Hephaestus from marrying you, because I already knew the horrible future he would have at your side.
Aphrodite, even more wounded in pride, began to expel her power.
I am Aphrodite, the last daughter of Uranos the primordial of Heaven, one of the Olympic goddesses and the goddess of love herself and I swear to you Kairo, that now Chloe will suffer for this offense...
Aphrodite: How dare he say those things to me?!
Omega: He is angry and full of fury
Aphrodite: But why are you treating me so badly?
Omega: Let's say that Hephaestus dies somehow, but once someone takes his image to tarnish or try to control you, how would you act accordingly?
Aphrodite: I... No...
Omega: Just like Kairo, right?
Hefesto: But Kairo loves Eleni
That sentence hurt Aphrodite to the depths of her being.
Omega: And Aphrodite loves you, maybe her way of loving you is strange, but she loves you, like her husband and if someone took your image she would punish them. But it has already happened once, some nymphs took your image to mock you, Aphrodite saw that and cursed them. It may not be the healthiest or most stable love, but the love of a husband and wife is there, because with all their time together something had to be born.
That left Hephaestus silent and he only turned to look at the side where Aphrodite was, instead she changed the direction of her gaze.
Omega: Well now the cool thing comes
He could not finish speaking, because Kairo's power exploded, reality itself began to shake and fragment, different cracks opened, where alternate timelines could be seen, completely different realities and space-time anomalies and the more cracks he created and destroyed. He was doing the same with the things in the cracks, the shadows began to swallow all existence, the feeling of death was such that many living beings died.
The sacred dragon of Kairo was ignited by flames from Tartarus itself, so strong were those flames that they were only compared to the sun itself.
Together with Kairo they gave him a murderous look, which scrutinizes the depths of his being.
Kairo: Never threaten my daughter Aphrodite again, ever! or the Greek pantheon will need a new god of love
If you even think about taking Eleni's image again, even as a joke, I will erase you from existence itself and make sure that no one remembers anything about you, not even existence itself.
Thus releasing Aphrodite and leaving, before she makes a mistake that cannot be solved later.
On the other hand, Aphrodite was left trembling with fear, she believed she was going to die, she was not going to disappear and it was only the mercy of this god that is still alive.
Everyone in the room was stunned, that was the power of Kairo.
How the hell did he alter all of reality, how powerful is he actually?
Omega: Do you know what's best?
Hades: What?
Omega: That at that moment Kairo is not yet at his maximum level, not even a little close.
Now that left everyone still terrified. Not even the paranoid Zeus could think about his throne.
