Kapitel 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.
