Chapter 175: Chapter 175

I explained my thoughts out loud and took pleasure in Artemis's grimace when I called her father Zeus 'a little rat.'

"My father is not like that. He is The Honorable King of all the gods!" Artemis bellowed out. Her eyes looked at me fiercely, and I have a feeling that she might have even tried to attack me if I wasn't so much more powerful. The Greek gods were very quick to jump to violence, it seemed.

"Really?" Jean hesitantly asked Artemis. "You know we all have history textbooks, and in them, they don't depict Zeus as a very good guy. In fact, most of the time, he's causing trouble for humans, women especially…"

"I admit that he has done wrong, by some women in the past—" Artemis started to say, but I cut her off.

"If by some, you mean thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, then sure." I said sarcastically. Since these were the Greek gods of Percy Jackson, then I knew for sure that the Zeus here could absolutely not keep it in his pants and did not take no for an answer.

"Disgusting." I commented and all the women, besides Artemis, agreed with me.

Artemis frowned. "It seems that we're not at an impasse then."

I shook my head at her. "An impasse implies that both of us are standing on equal ground." I pointed towards Ares' pathetic form sitting in the crater I left him in. "As you can see, we are not in an impasse. Isn't that right, Steve?"

Captain America walked over after retrieving his shield. I snickered as he scowled at Ares as well before he turned and spoke to Artemis. "That's right, ma'am. You and he tried to commit murder on American soil. I'm afraid that you're going to have to be going away for a while. You can be rest assured that you will receive a fair trial." He said with confidence.

Artemis looked absolutely gobsmacked at what Steve just said. The two X-Men looked surprised as well.

"A trial?" Jean questioned. "You're going to give a Goddess an actual trial?" She asked while looking at Ororo as if to confirm what she'd just heard. The other woman just shrugged.

He nodded. "Of course we are. This is America." He said proudly. "You, Ares, and Luke over there will all be taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, and afterwards, you'll receive a fair trial." Steve said to Artemis while holding his finger to his ear. I suspected that Fury had been listening in this entire time. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was probably getting a real kick out of this situation…

I know I was!

"Hoh?" Artemis gave Steve a challenging look and conjured her silver bow. She seemed to temporarily forget that I was here. "You think I will allow a man to challenge me. TO ARREST ME!? I am the goddess of the moon and the hunt!" Her silver hair and eyes started to glow with power.

Next to me, Akeno, Jean, and Ororo all readied themselves for a fight.

I held my hand up and tried out another one of my Rinnegan's abilities. A chunk of black metal materialized in my palm. I warped the black metal with my power until it took on the shape I desired…

"If you're not going to come quietly, then I'll have to take you in!" Steve declared while holding his shield in front of himself. He looked ready to block and arrows she'd soon be firing. If i wasn't here that is…

"Universal Pull!"

"Eeeep!" Artemis let out a cute squeak and dropped her bow as she flew towards me quickly. When she got close, I grabbed hold of her and clamped the object I had just created around her neck. It was a black collar–made of chakra, or magic, disrupting metal. Her abilities would be much more limited with it on.

As proof of that, her silver glow faded away and she slumped back to the ground with an expression of shock. "The Moon…I can't feel the Moon anymore." She muttered to herself.

I crafted another two sets of black collars and handed them two Steve. "Here, these are for Ares and Luke. They won't be able to easily access their powers with these on them." I said.

"Ufufu. Layla is collaring yet another beautiful woman." Akeno commented. "Another girl for your harem, dear Aunt?"

"Harem!?" Jean squeaked and Ororo raised an eyebrow at me. Steve and Percy were both looking at me with blushing faces.

"That was not why I collared her!" I responded indignantly. 

Artemis stopped her panic and looked at me in shock. "You wish to court me and add me to a Harem, even!? Try as you might! I will not be seduced so easily!" She declared proudly.

I facepalmed.

Chapter 176: Chapter 176

A Lightspear, wreathed in lightning, came hurtling towards my face! I shifted my head to the side and dodged it with inches to spare. It stabbed into the wall behind me and easily pierced through the thick steel.

I retaliated by waving my hand and conjuring a dozen purple Lightspears in the air all around me.

My opponent's eyes widened in shock. I smirked at her and waved my hand again. All 12 spears locked onto her and moved incredibly fast. 

"Dammit!" Akeno cursed as she threw both of her hands in front of herself. A circular shield made of Heavenly Lighting manifested in front of her. All of my spears hit it at the same time and exploded. Akeno let out a small scream as she was blasted backwards. 

She crashed onto the ground and skidded towards the other side of the room. She was covered in burns marks and bruises, but still conscious. "That hurt, Layla…" Akeno whined as I walked over towards her.

My Purger of Darkness manifested and I started to heal her. 50 MP and she was as good as new.

"It'll hurt a lot worse in a real fight. You need better strategies, Akeno." I said. She was too used to sitting back and attacking her opponents with overwhelming power. When she faces someone stronger than her–like me–she doesn't know what to do.

"Akeno sighed as she stood up. There was a flash of light and her ruined wardrobe was switched out for a Kuoh School uniform. 

I raised an eyebrow at that.

"I have like 10 of these uniforms in my storage space…" She said. "They always got destroyed whenever we had to hunt down strays, so I bought them in bulk…" 

"Whatever makes you comfortable." I said. "I think we can wrap up our training for today."

SHIELD had been nice enough to let us use their training facilities these past few days. I'm sure they were also secretly recording Akeno and my abilities, but we weren't exactly showing them anything new.

"That's good then. I don't want to miss my date. I still have to get ready." Akeno said while smiling to herself happily. 

"And which one is it with?" I asked. Somehow, Akeno had managed to get both Ororo and Jean's numbers before they headed back home after the whole Percy Jackson fiasco. She'd been giggling like a schoolgirl–she still was one technically–on and off the past couple days while she texted both of them repeatedly.

I was pretty blown away that she was able to pull off two girls at once, but then again, she probably learned everything from me. I'm just an awesome role model like that!

[Wow…Just wow…]

"Ufufu! It's with Ororo first." Akeno said. "My date with Jean will be a few later!" 

"Dating two girls at once and they both know?" I asked and she grinned in confirmation. "Good for you!" I told her.

"Ufufu. I know. I am quite lucky." Akeno replied smugly.

The only thing I was a bit worried about was Zeus trying to attack her in revenge, but I wasn't so worried about that anymore. There were two reasons for that. The first is that after these past few days his Bolt has completely merged with her. I can't detect a difference between her powers and it's anymore with my new eyes. There was no way he would be able to either. 

The second reason was that this was the Percy Jackson universe. Zeus here was a genuine imbecile. Instead of solving anything himself, he sends his Demigod children and grandchildren to go out and do everything for him. Most of the time, they end up dying in the process. I seriously doubted if he even knew Akeno had fused with his Master Bolt in the first place. I doubt he even knows two of his children are currently in the custody of 'mortals.'

Akeno asked me to portal her back to the penthouse so she could get herself ready. She hopped in excitedly.

Once she left, I turned around to talk to the man who had been watching us spar. "So what did you think, Steve?"

He looked nervous. "It seems that sparring nowadays is a lot different than back when I was enlisted. It used to be just two men throwing punches at each other. Now there's flying, and magic, and everybody seems to have super powers." He finished. He looked a bit down. 

"Are you upset that you lost the fight to Ares?" I asked him.

"It's not just him," Steve said. "I feel like most of the people we've been up against lately I wouldn't have been able to beat. I sparred with Natasha the other day and I was even thoroughly beaten by her. The times we fought before that, I usually came out on top." 

I used [Observe] to check his level and he was now at Level 14. He had clearly been doing some training, but he was correct that it wasn't enough to match the real threats of this world. 

"Well, the truth is, you're not going to be able to beat a lot of these enemies without some kind of boost. I could give you a blessing like I gave Natasha." I said to him. "It will allow you to grow stronger and you'll be able to use some of my Light in combat."
