In the reading room everyone was waiting to start the next chapter, because Omega had told them that they had to wait for Zeus to wake up.
Zeu: Hmmm, my head... how it hurts...
Omega: I see you woke up okay.
Zeus: Well, shit, I have a horrible headache, the last time I felt like that was when Athena was born, not that time it was worse.
Omega: Well then, who wants to read?
Zeus: My head still hurts.
Omega: I don't give a damn about that 🥒
Hestia: I will read
Consequences
Hades castle underworld
Inside Hades Castle were Hades, Kairo, Poseidon, Hera and Apollo, where the last three are recovering from their battle against Zeus and Hecatonchiros.
Zeus: True, you are traitors of….
Zeus fainted again, this time due to Rhea hitting him with the golden flip-flop.
Apollo: Well, the plan failed miserably.
Hera: We trust ourselves by having chained Zeus that we never think about his allies
Kairo: But to be honest who would think I would still have loyal allies?
Apollo: You're right about that.
Hades: Now someone explain to me why they chained Zeus?
Hera: So that he would become a better king...
Kairo: Weren't Athena and I doing a good job?
Hera: But that is not your duty, it is Zeus's, and besides, it was useless for you to do a good job if Zeus could ruin it at any moment.
Kairo just nodded because he understood where that thought came from.
Hera: In that I agree with my counterpart, no matter how good a job they did together, Zeus could ruin it at any moment.
Athena: But you could have waited, I understand that thought, but now Zeus can ruin it even worse, by his moment of rage
Hera would only remain silent because Athena was also right
Kairo: But that doesn't take away from the fact that what they did was very dangerous, that last attack that Zeus used could have left them in a very bad state.
Apollo: But if you had been there we could have easily won.
Kairo just shook his head.
Kairo: Don't make the mistake of underestimating Zeus brother, as much as I dislike him, I must remember that he is still considered one of the strongest on Olympus for a reason.
Poseidon: But you can beat him, right?
Kairo: Yes, but I say it again, we must not underestimate Zeus, despite being able to beat him, it would be a very challenging battle and with the slightest carelessness on my part I could lose.
That left everyone silent because Kairo was right, anyone, no matter how strong they are, if they are careless or confident enough, they could be defeated.
Hades: Okay, I didn't expect Kairo to recognize the power of Zeus.
Omega: But you're right, you shouldn't underestimate Zeus, because he is considered one of the strongest for a reason.
When they were about to continue arguing, lightning was heard throughout the Olympic world, so everyone went towards the throne room.
Where were Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Kairo, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hera, Hermes, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hestia, Demeter and Dionysus who did not know why he was summoned
Zeus: I have called this meeting, to give punishments to those who were in rebellion against me.
Hera: And who are you to decide those punishments?
Zeus: THE KING OF OLYMPUS!!!! He would scream while expelling power that made people feel like they were in a thunderstorm.
But at the same time Hades, Poseidon, Apollo and Kairo expelled the same power, all 5 expelled energy like crazy and each one felt different
With Poseidon it felt like you were in a deep sea and you were drowning
With Hades that death itself came to claim your soul
With Apollo, the most powerful flames of the sun burned you to the depths of your soul.
And finally, Kairo, who felt like he was in an infinite void, where his power had no end.
The other gods were sweating profusely, because such was the power of those 5 that all the minor gods, nymphs and satyrs were fainting and felt like they were about to die.
Artemis: Are his powers really that great?
Omega: Yes
Artemis: But Apollo is not that powerful.
Omega: Who says?
Phoebe: Wait, is it just as powerful here too?
Omega: No... but because this Apollo stopped training
The only goddesses who could still stand without trembling were Hera, Athena and Aphrodite, the first was so used to feeling such powerful auras that they hardly affected her anymore, however the last two had a power capable of matching those auras, one being the goddess of war who had trained to the extreme to become this powerful and the last being the daughter of Uranus himself, primordial of the sky.
Artemis: Oh come on until Aphrodite is not affected.
Omega: What part of them are more powerful in that world don't you understand?
Artemis: But it's Aphrodite.
Omega: The same Aphrodite who was trained by Kairo for combat
Zeus, recognizing that he was surpassed, was the first to stop expelling power and when he stopped doing so, the other 4 automatically did so.
Zeus: Well, if I'm not going to be interrupted anymore, these are going to be the punishments.
For Apollo and Poseidon he forced them to build a wall in Troy without using their powers
They just stayed silent, they didn't like the punishment but to avoid more fights today in Olympus they were going to accept it.
and for Hera, her punishment is to lose her throne and power as queen of Olympus and an Olympian, her position will be supplanted by my son Dionysus
Hera was just stunned, because she never expected to lose her position as Olympian, she understood the queen thing, because she was no longer the wife of Zeus, but her position
The Hera of the room was the same as her counterpart, she lost her position as an Olympian
Hera: The... but... but.
Hestia: Brother, don't you think you're exaggerating with that punishment towards Hera?
Zeus: It's that or the banishment she chooses.
Hestia only remained silent because she never expected that from Zeus.
Kairo: Don't lie.
Zeus could only glare at Kairo, asking the silent question of how he was lying.
Kairo: You are never going to banish Hera, if she leaves I will leave and consequently the Underworld, at the same time Apollo, Artemis, Hermes and Hephaestus also leave Olympus, they would support their mother first than you
Zeus could only get angrier on his throne because he recognized the truth in those words.
Zeus: The meeting is over
That's how it went in a flash
Hermes: Dude, that was brutal.
Apollo: Do you believe?
Annabeth: I never expected that to happen.
Percy: No one girl knew, that was a very unexpected result.
Aphrodite: Kairo dear, why did you only mention them?
Kairo: Because they are the ones who would have real reasons to leave for Hera.
Aphrodite: That hurts me, dear, if you leave, I'll leave with you.
Kairo: Wait for it
Aphrodite: Fufufu, well of course yes dear remember that you promised me that you would be there giving me your love to never fall, so you and I will be together forever
Kairo could only remain silent because of those words from Aphrodite, he never expected that from her.
And he wasn't the only one because everyone in the room was equally or worse shocked than Kairo.
Athena: You wouldn't have been the only one, I would have left too.
Aphrodite: Oh dear, you are not alone with me, but you also went for Athena, you break my heart.
Athena: That's not what I meant.
Aphrodite: Sure... to another dog with that story
Aphrodite: Kairo is quite a casanova
Kairo: Ah, me, let's take care of Hera first and see how she feels.
Hera: I don't know, first I lose my marriage, I know it wasn't a good marriage but deep down I wanted it to work, I am the goddess of marriage
Kairo: That does not mean that you tie yourself to a horrible marriage, mother, but what an example you will be giving to women, who have to submit to their husband and his defects.
Hera would only remain silent crying because she was lost, she no longer knew what to do, she just wanted to leave Olympus for a while and think about what she wanted to do from now on.
Until someone hugged her and gave her comfort, letting her vent on his chest.
You know if you want you can come and spend some time in the Underworld, I wouldn't mind, what do you say?
Hera could only nod, grateful for Hades, because she needed a change of scenery.
Hera: Okay, I didn't expect that from Hades.
Persephone: I do.
Demeter: Wait what?
Persephone: I always tell you but you never listen to me, in the same way Hades takes care of me, he comforts me and protects me when necessary, but you don't listen to me and you only think that he is evil and a bad husband
Demeter: But he has been unfaithful to you...
Persephone: Same with me, I have had demigod children but he doesn't attack or hate them indiscriminately.
Demeter: But...
Persephone: Nothing worse, mother, let's leave this conversation because it's useless to talk to you.
