"Damn it!" Argen yelled destroying a pillar on the temple. Chain stood off to the side watching Argen yelling and destroying everything in his path.
"Damn Chinese! Damn gods! Damn it!" Argen yelled smashing through the entire temple, destroying it.
"Uhh Argen?" Chain finally spoke up stopping Argen's destructive rampage.
Argen breathed in and out for a while, his chest heaving as he began to calm down. "Yes chain? What do you need?"
Chain didn't answer, he didn't need to. He wasn't trying to ask anything, he was simply trying to get Argen to calm down.
"Thanks… This is honestly my fault, I've been to stupid lately, this power is going to my head, I'm not even that strong."
Argen sighed and swept his hair back, looking along the skyline then back to Chain. "What did he mean back there? Another one like me? Wanna explain?"
Chain cocked his head to the side before shaking his head. "Nope, I have no clue what that god meant, I don't really know a lot haha…"
Argen sighed and nodded before looking away from Chain. He had a slight guess as to what The Monkey King had meant, but he wouldn't say anything, especially if he was right.
"Honestly I feel free, getting cheated by the gods isn't fun but… I don't feel so stressed anymore… You know what? Let's go have fun."
With this Argen smirked and sprinted forward before jumping off the hill, dive bombing toward the city.
Chain widened his eyes before smiling widely. "Alright let's have fun!" He yelled back and followed, jumping up off the hill in pursuit of Argen, a smile strung upon his face.
…
"This is a hotdog, we can find them all the time in America, but they don't really have them much here…" Argen was saying as he scarfed down a hotdog, smiling as he finished it.
Chain ate his quickly as well and they began walking through the city known as Tokyo. He didn't really have a destination when he had grabbed Chain and used moon energy to burst through the sky, so he couldn't complain.
"What do you think?" Argen asked as they walked down the streets, looking for things to do.
"This is… This is the most fun I've ever had!" Chain burst out yelling. It caused some people to look over but not enough for Argen to care.
"Yeah…" Chain looked over at his younger but more experienced partner with a semi confused look on his face.
It was almost like he could tell how Argen was feeling, the only problem being that he didn't know what to do to fix it.
"What's with you?" Argen asked stopping in the middle of the street, he didn't need to look back at Chain to know what he was feeling.
"Are you okay?" Chain decided to ask Argen, who was now stopping traffic in the middle of the road.
"Okay?" Argen asked not looking back, cars were now stopped and honking at him as he stood in the middle of the road.
"Nah, I'm not okay, would you be okay Chain? Would you be okay after what I've been through? I've wondered before how other people would last in my life, I guess I'll never know huh… I hate the gods… I want them all to die."
Argen stared up into the sky as he said this, hoping any of the gods heard him, he didn't care from which pantheon they were, all of them deserved to be killed, all of them.
Chain gulped as he didn't expect this extreme answer from Argen. "T-Then… Why don't we kill them?"
Chain shifted uncomfortably as it was silent for a few minutes.
"Yeah… That sounds good… Will you help me Chain? No, you need a new name, you're not a prisoner anymore… But will you help me?"
Argen was only a step away from Chain as he asked this, his eyes staring into his partners as he waited for an answer.
Chain's eyes had widened as Argen had moved at a speed that he couldn't even see.
"Argen I'm a g-"
Chain didn't finish that sentence as Argen widened his eyes and pushed him away, allowing the volley of arrows to miss Chain.
"Bastard Blood of Artemis! What are Thee last words?!" A girl that seemed to be a little older than Argen yelled, holding a silver bow with ten other girls holding the same, each of them staring at him with hatred in their eyes.
'Bastard Blood of Artemis? Ah I get it, these are those girls, the same from the Bermuda Triangle… Why can't people just leave me alone…'
"I don't know what my last words will be, but if you take another step you might have already said yours," Argen answered back with no expression on his face, his shining silver eyes staring deep into Zoe Nightshades were the only things showing he was even listening.
"Thee are an abomination, and we will set Lady Artemis free, even if it costs our lives."
With these words the hunters jumped off the buildings, aiming their bows at Argen.
"I hate the gods so much, but it's humans who have done the worst to me, just die."
Argen waved his hand and a huge wave of silver energy crashed into the neighboring building, destroying it and causing it to tumble toward The hunters.
The hunters dodged the building scraps, only getting a few scratches, but the same couldn't be said for the people on the road.
The building smashed into several cars and the road as chunks of glass and rubble flew toward Argen and every pedestrian nearby.
Asfalis destroyed any debris that came toward Argen, but the others weren't so lucky.
In the span of a few seconds Argen had killed over 100 people, and he didn't feel a thing.
"So thee show your true colors? Pure evil!" Zoe Nightshade yelled trying to taunt Argen.
She couldn't care less about the mortals who had just died, but she did know that the gods wouldn't be too pleased about this happening, there was a reason they didn't make trips to other places like this often.
"We should move this battle from Japan, or there could be dire consequences for you."
Zoe may have said it as a warning, but the truth is she just wanted him dead, even if she preferred to do it herself, she didn't mind if a Japanese god came down and smited Argen right here.
"I know what you're trying to do," Argen said as he flashed behind Zoe, aiming his palm toward the small of her back.
Centuries of fighting experience was the only thing that allowed Zoe to dodge the blow, Argen was fast, but it wasn't the fastest she had ever seen.
"Thou are fast, but not faste-" Zoe didn't get to finish her sentence as Argen shoved his hand in a nearby hunters chest, ripping her heart out and throwing it away.
"Stop talking and fight…" Argen said blood dripping off his hands as the hunters froze.

Pride comes before the fall, if you're too cocky, or too prideful, you will always fall eventually, for that is the one absolute rule of the universe.
It was Zoe's pride that caused one of the hunters to die at Argen's hand, and he didn't plan on stopping there.
The screaming and disaster close to him only seemed to fuel his resolve, having gone so far already, who cared how far he would go now?
"Thou shall die today…" Zoe said trying to hide her anger as Argen kicked the dead body of the hunter away.
"You sure? I'm 1-0 right now… And I don't like to lose," Smiling Argen tilted his head down as Asfalis burst out of him in a huge silver spiral, shining as bright as he could.
Zoe looked away as she aimed her bow at Argen's location, when the flash of light died down she looked back and saw her arrow buried deep in the skull of another hunter.
"Should I count that as a 1-1? Since technically you killed her."
Argen threw the hunter to the side and shook his hand, the arrow having stabbed into it.
The second death brought the rest of the hunters out of their initial shock, and all six of the remaining ones burst forward.
Argen's eyes glowed silver, he wasn't an idiot. He knew that if he messed up they could really kill him.
That didn't matter much though, not if they couldn't touch him. "Reign Havoc… Havoc."
The next moment could only be described as a catastrophe. The pedestrians saw the sky open up, a huge glowing silver and red dragon coming through the rip.
Argen turned away as the dragons mouth opened. "Do you think you can survive it? Havocs anger? I wonder…"
Argen stopped talking as the large beam of red energy burst down onto him and the other six hunters.
He had created Asfalis for protection, with some trial and error he had managed to do the same, and having destroyed an island on the way to China by doing it, he named his creation Havoc, a fitting name for a being created only for destruction.
He hadn't really planned to use him, maybe as a trump card, but not caring anymore he let Havoc rain down his anger.
That's all that was left for Argen, anger. Perhaps if anyone knew it was actually The Beast who had named him and not Artemis, they would have been able to make the connection.
Argen rearranged is Anger, something even he hadn't realized yet.
"I'm so tired… Of you all."
Argen's words could be heard by the six hunters as blood dripped down from his shoulder, Zoe having had rushed forward and stabbed him with her hunting knife.
"Tell me Hunter of Artemis… Did she send you?" Argen asked, a slight sadness could be seen in his eyes.
Zoe almost answered that Artemis had sent her, that this was a mission given by her goddess, but something told her not to lie.
"No, I came to get rid of her mistake."
With these words Zoe slashed the knife down into the back of Argen, hitting his spine before ripping it out the side, a Z carved into his skin.
"I see, even now she doesn't care about me, Haha… What did I expect."
Zoe didn't expect to hear his voice again, he should have been dead, so why wasn't he?
"Havoc."
*Boom!*
That day Tokyo became a desolate land, a hole in Japan, something they would always remember.
"You okay Chain?" Argen asked, looking over toward the boy with a weird tired expression on his face.
Asfalis had protected him from the blast, letting him witness everything as well as the destruction of Tokyo.
"How come you didn't kill her?" Chain asked, swallowing and calming down after watching the short but destructive battle.
"It didn't heal, I think she may have left a scar, the rest were useless, but she can live, maybe she can go back to Artemis and let her see that her son is all grown up…"
Argen then started walking away from the scene, leaving the beat up and bloody mess of Zoe Nightshade laying there, she'd make a recovery, but not without some scars, something that would stay with her for the rest of her life. A Large A carved into her back. The perfect revenge for Argen's own Z scar on his back.
*Plop*
Argen fell face first into the dirt as Chain widened his eyes, quickly kneeling down toward him.
"I'm just tired, if you can… please carry me… Law, Chain is such a shitty name, imma call you law."
Cha- Law widened his eyes as Argen slipped into unconsciousness, he couldn't believe what a shitty name he had picked.
"Argen…" Law said as he picked the boy up from the ground and carried him on his back. "… I'm a girl."
Law finished her sentence and began walking, not saying anything as she knew that Argen had fallen asleep already.
…
"Some believe America has decided to attack Japan, but we know this is not the case, hopefully the government are able to have peaceful negotiations with Japan without a war-"
A woman on a small screen said as Megan lay there with the phone she had stolen on her last outage in town.
She always checked the news for anything related to Argen, with Sam having gone quiet and not talking to anyone, as well as the Apollo cabin suddenly ostracizing her, she no longer talked to many people.
She still talked to Percy and Annabeth, as well as Clarisse, who had begun to be slightly nicer to people, only slightly though.
"And we have something new for you all to see!" The woman on the news's voice suddenly yelled out, causing Megan to snap her head back to the glowing screen.
"This seemed to have been live-streamed on Instagram the same time the event took place…"
A short clip of people screaming and several girls standing in front of another person, someone Megan recognized instantly, popped up on the screen.
"There we have it folks," The woman finished gulping as the clip cut just as Argen, the boy in the video, had started to rush forward toward the girls.
"It seems that the suspect in the bombing of Manhattan jail has been spotted in Tokyo, this clip was lucky to have been live-streamed, what do you think James?"
James, a brown man with curly hair, looked at the zoomed in image of Argen, though slightly blurry it matched the last seen image of him at the jail.
"I think it's obvious the terrorist has made another attack, perhaps in hopes of starting a war? Hopefully we can convince Japan that-"
Megan had heard enough as the phone blew up, her eyes shaded by her hair.
"Idiot… What are you doing?" She said to herself, laying down without falling asleep.

Okay so now that I'm back I am also gonna be back with Patre0n. In this case I have wondered what others would want. I do want to be somewhat successful in writing, ensuring I can continue and write as much as I like, so I've decided to ask.
Would people rather want Chapters ahead on Patre0n that you can pay for by tier? Or would you rather have original novels on Patre0n as well as voting stuff and Patre0n exclusive bonus chapters.
I'm willing to do either one, I kinda like the second one better since I don't have to do so much work, plus with the voting I can make a one shot or something for my thread on QQ, anyway tell me what you guys think, Imma reorganize Patre0n according to this so thanks in advance.
Don’t forget to leave your input for what I should do with Patre0n
