Perseus POV
"You're not gonna make me a saint of yours, right? I'm not really a pure guy, I would not be a very good saint of yours. I mean that in both the mental and physical sense."
"No no no, if I want a saint, I would prefer a fellow women, I DO have the power to turn you into a woman if you want, I don't need you to be pure to advocate for it, so if you want to be both my saint and a woman..."
Oh I remember that story, apparently the guy saw her naked as she was bathing, she then made him an offer, either he gets turned into a woman and live or well death for seeing a naked goddess.
"Yeah, no, I like my little brother."
"I thought your only sibling is your older sister, does Tartarus have another child the gods have to worry about?" she asked innocently.
Well for a person who watches anime a lot, surprised that she didn't get that joke. But for a goddess like her to contact me like this...Zeus must be out for my blood, huh? Well taking up on some offer won't be bad.
"So what are the offers that could possibly save my life?"
"Oh simple, marry a goddess." she answered "Unlike the early days, we have laws now, if you marry a goddess, you'll be protected from any god from attacking you outright or even indirectly, a god if guys are your preference."
"No to both gods and goddesses, I rather date a regular person."
"Fair enough, next topic is the jade." she replied "Us gods are not the ones who made it nor do we know who does, we were the one who separated them into 14 pieces, but we could not utilize it nor even touch it physically or even levitate it with magic, we used mortals to do that for us."
"Oh, that's a lot more information than I thought, then do you know what the key unlocks?"
"There are several items, a few that escape our grasps, we only have vague ideas and even then, I cannot share it with you." she answered and shook her head "We do not even know whether you can only use it by combining them or they can be used individually."
So the jade isn't made by the gods, the gods can't touch it physically or otherwise, and they only got a vague idea of what these items actually are, this is interesting, it means that the creator is either an unknown god or a fellow mortal that despise the gods.
The fragments will form a key if combined, but can also be used to boost someone's power to the extreme, will my body be able to handle it, I should be physically very powerful, more powerful then went I got granted the title 'Weaver of Calamity' which then popped up the number 1 raider to everyone.
Though the gods are much more powerful than they are in the past, I should be very strong, though judging from Artemis in front of me, I still have ways to go before I can even think of endangering her.
It's fascinating, this jade...and now someone out there found a use for it, the gods must be scared right now and even though they spectate us for fun, there are certain rules to it, there are also restricted places where they can't, so we can hide plenty of secrets.
"So to save myself from Zeus, I should marry a god, while the jade, I assume you gods are scared of me gathering all the fragments, correct?"
"Of course, personally I am not, you don't kill without a purpose, if you do, trust me, you would not be alive right now, I would have killed you a very long time ago." she joked "So even if you managed to gather all of it, I trust your judgement, but many gods are very anxious, if you do marry a fellow god, their mind might be a bit more relaxed."
"So I become the number 1 on the gods' hitlist, that's kinda funny to think about, do I have any supporters?"
She then took a moment to think.
"Your parents don't really count, but there's Horus, me, my twin, Dionysus, a good portion of the Japanese gods, 1/3 of the gods of other races, and surprisingly Hera."
"Surprising?"
"She don't favor mortals often." she commented
"How is supporting to not kill me favoring me?"
"She's going against her own husband, trust me, you did something good to earn her favor, maybe showing my father a taste of his own medicine."
"If I want him to have a taste of his own medicine, I would have to find a way to date one of his daughters."
"Anyway, tread carefully from now on, gods have children all the time, but we know a way to turn them fully mortal, those who somehow bypassed that and become a demigod are all powerful, with you standing atop of that list followed closely by your sister." she explained "I know my father is not the smartest person, but he have powerful friends, please try not to kill yourself."
"But the jade, how scared are the gods from its recent powers? Do you have an idea who the people are behind the recent attack?"
"The threat of the jade is much higher than you, and no we have no idea, I am actually tasked with trying to find that and deliver justice if necessary." she responded
"Scary to think about, what about the titans and the giants? Or hell, Tartarus even?"
"Well that's for both of us to find out." she laughed
*****
I got back to the academy to see that we are still in the lead, that night, I walked through the academy, though this time, I made myself known as I openly check everywhere in the academy.
I thought that doing differently for once would you know weird people out for a bit and I want myself known to those guys from the rivaling organization that I know that one piece is in the tower itself, and by making myself known, some of their spies will not secretly try to find for it even though I already got the piece.
