Chương 9: The Power Of The Divine
#THOR POV#
"WWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY," I scream out loud frustrated at my lack of progress
"Thor, you have been at this for over 15 years, why don't..."
"ENOUGH THOTH," I scream at him before I take a deep breath
"I apologize, I should not have lashed out," I say to him while apologizing for my outburst
Ever since I began to train in my domain of Magic with Thoth, I have been feeling bouts of anger caused by my lack of progress
"Maybe this isn't for me," I tell Thoth while rubbing my forehead
"Don't give up, you have been doing incredibly well, given how limited you are in your spells," He says while I let out a small smile before it fades away
I managed to work around the needing the powers of other deities to cast spells
By using my own name which in turn means that I have a lot to work with
The main issue with this is that I can only cast spells that I have made over the course of literal decades now and even then, I only have around 12 spells that are worth mentioning
Creating elemental spells for me is stupid, I can already use my divinities to summon the elements
That doesn't mean that I haven't made them, I definitely did, but they are far too weak to use against other gods
They would be incredible for mortals, but for me, they are all but useless
For now
If several of my plans succeed, any spells that I make will be a boon for my future armies
Quite frankly, I am working more on the esoteric types of magic, unfortunately, I have learned nearly all that I can from Thoth
"Where are we going next?" He asks as I turn to him
"We are going to my home to make preparations for the coming millennia," I answer him
"Oh, and what would those plans be?"
"As you know, I will one day go to Asgard and claim my birthright," I tell him
"Before that, if I am to confront Asgard's armies, I will need an army of my own,"
"I do not know if you know, but there is a tenth realm that was cut off from the World Tree by Odin," I explain
"Yes, I am aware of it," He answers
"I will go there to...persuade the Angels to join my side," I tell him
"Oh, so that is why you have worked relentlessly on soul magic," He says as I frown
"It isn't my plan, but only if I were to have no other option, but considering the tales mother told me of them, I don't know if I would be doing them a favor or actually giving them real leadership," I say while a frown forms in my face as I think about their leader
Who is an absolute fucking coward
Then again against an Odin who is not someone anyone takes lightly
But, she pretty much condemned her entire realm to suffer a slow and agonizing death after she 'killed'... Aldrif
My older 'sister' who was given the name Angela
Odin challenged the leader to a duel to decide the fate of either Asgard or her realm
Like a coward, she sent over most of her army which was obliterated by Odin, and their souls were used as fuel alongside his own power to cut off her realm from the world tree
I know that their realm is dying
I don't mind taking advantage of their desperation to save their realm
I shake my head as I dismiss Thoth after talking with him for a few hours
I let out a sigh as I take a moment to lament my desire for knowledge
I wouldn't be surprised if I also got that as a domain
According to my studies, I am far more than what I ever thought I could be
The original Thor was an Asgardian, belonging to a race that were said to mostly resemble mortals
Here, he would have been part Asgardian and part Elder-God
Being a descendent of an Elder-God does not guarantee power nor the potential for power
Such is the case with the children of my uncle, Set
He has plenty of children but very, and I mean very rarely does he have a child capable of being stronger than a mortal, and usually it only by three times, which they could overcome with enough numbers and persistence
As far as my mother is aware, he only has one child at the level of a minor deity, and even then, it's not much if I compare it to me, to say nothing of its intelligence as it is barely as smart as a 10-year-old and even that would be debatable
Going back to the power and potential of an Elder-God
My mother could have a child with a mortal and while the child would be strong, there is no guarantee whatsoever, that said child could ever even hope to reach even a percent of the power that my mother wields
The potential for growth is another matter entirely
It is completely random
The physical capabilities and mystical prowess are a complete gamble
This is what makes my very existence a complete aberration, a mistake...
Or very possibly intentional
I know of the multiverse but, even now I know that no universe would allow an existence like mine naturally
I am so very different from the gods that it's not even funny
A god of the sea could not throw lightning, just as a god of the sky could not bend the ocean. There were overlaps, hurricanes, storms, and so much more. Why is it that a god of the sea cannot wield ice? Such a domain should exist within the realm of their concepts.
The answer is simple
Their divine authorities do not let them
But, I am different
Sure, I have the Divine Authority of Nature within me as if that wasn't enough, I also have a Divine Authority of Magic on my side
But, that isn't all
Something else is at play with me
My soul now divine in terms of its existence, was originally that of a human who is said to possess the most powerful form of magic
Free will
That is what makes me so different
Oh, the Thor whose existence I have taken over had it too, but I was human before
One that was made to take on his role in this universe
Sure, even those 3 factors paled in comparison to an act of power that cemented the aberration that is my very existence
An act of might made by the Pheonix-Force
It allowed me to be reborn completely and utterly
Marked by its power
The divine existence of Thor
Whose parents are Gaea and Odin
A God and an Elder God
An existence made whole by the soul of a mortal that was made divine through the act of Rebirth
I am much more than a 'god' and obviously more than a mortal
The way my Divine Authorities work is...a mistake
I am able to explore the potential entrenched in my current Authorities
If I were to delve deeper into my domain of storms, I am sure, I could gain one for rain just for the hell of it, which would make my domain of storms and by extension that of Thunder all the more powerful
I can feel some new ones are going to be manifesting in a few thousand years
The question is what will they be?
Even though I still bear some of the seals placed on me by Odin, I am already in the mid-tier of power among the gods if not in the upper tier
There isn't much on Earth anymore that can realistically threaten me anymore
I shake my head as I think deeply about my existence
Contemplating the very nature of my existence is not something I like to think about
Even knowing of the multiverse as I do is dangerous knowledge
Far too dangerous to share with any other deity
Mother warned not to share the knowledge of other versions of the universe with any other deity that is not already aware of their existence
Mother herself has slaughtered entire pantheons of gods and practically erased them from history once they learned of them and began to look for ways to exploit the multiverse
I have to admit
Exploring the multiverse is a very tempting idea
But, one that makes a certain pressure that nearly makes me bend the knee and a feeling that I have to remain here in this universe that is more or less a warning from a higher power
I will stay in this universe
For now
I go over and take a look over my palace on the island that Mother gifted me
Much has changed ever since I brought Thoth here
I altered the inside of the palace by expanding the space inside and creating numerous rooms that will be filled with my followers
Not humans
At least, not the ones from this age
Nor any gods
At least, those born as gods from other lands will not
No, what I will look for, will be demigods of gods
Surprisingly, gods care very little about the appearance of mortals when it comes to...
Intimate matters
I will then elevate the demigods into godhood myself through my own personal tree of Golden Apples
I need to fill different positions as well
I will make my own version of the Valkyries
I already have a demigod or rather demigoddess in mind
A Greek one at that
A descendant of Ares, Hephaestus and Aphrodite
Her great-great-great grandfather is Ares, her great-grandfather is Hephaestus, and her mother is Aphrodite
From what I have observed she is talented in combat, and has shown some promise as a smith, alongside that, she is incredibly beautiful
Quite frankly, I am going to say that she is a coal that I will have to polish into a diamond
She will be my personal smith
Once she eats a golden apple, she will be able to awaken the divine power to serve me
A Divine smith will be an incredible boon to me
She is currently residing in a cave hiding herself away from the monsters that roam this age
I am also keeping an eye out for anyone that is of interest to me
