"Apollo found a way to have children? This is a breakthrough for us. If only this was found earlier, I could have helped. Unfortunately, my time is almost up. Cough. Cough." Looking at the blood seeping from between his fingers, Zues smiled with pity. No matter how powerful one becomes, escaping death is impossible.

Even if one possesses the power to wipe a city out of existence, it amounts to nothing, since none can escape the hands of death.

"Of my eleven children, only five of them survive the test of time. I thought I would be forced to watch the rest of them them die before me, thankfully it won't be the case."

The Hierarchy of Enchanted Humans is very clear, Pawns, Knights, Bishops, Guardians, Kings and Divine.

Pawns are those who serve the Enchanted Humans while not being one. They typically know more about the world than the normal humans.

Knights are those trained in a specific task, they are usually willing to die for their masters.

Bishops, are those task with overseeing an area and commanding all low ranking members.

Guardians are special humans fused with powers of the Enchanted Humans, becoming akin to weaker version but are completely loyal to their masters. They usually task with protecting key figures.

Kings are humans who became Enchanted Humans, and possess power above mortals comprehension.

Divine is only accessible to Zues as he is the first Enchanted Human and the one to walk the furthest down this path. The further one walks the more powerful one becoming, meaning living for a thousand years was all but a small thing.

Zeus have see countries rise and fall, races disappear off the face of the planet. He have seen far more than anyone, making him aware that this world is not a paradise but more like a sinister game of the creator.

People are born only to die, what is the reason for this? Why give humans life when there is no purpose in living? Live a fulfilling life? In the end, doesn't it all fade?

Those use to be his thoughts but watching his children grow up and becoming powerful himself, Zues realize that he thought too much.

Humans are nothing but a insignificant dot in the ocean call the universe. No matter what humans do, even if they live for millions of years, it's only a small insignificant trace, nothing more.

Walking inside the cave once more, Zeus sat down, reminiscing of the past.

How he became so powerful? Zeus a thousand years ago was only an insignificant man, who happened to chance upon his biggest secret, inside of a mountain cave in the desert.

Inside of the cave he found a burial site where hundreds of corpse lay, those of beings far different from him. They were taller, had three eyes and even wings on their backs. Even just approaching them cause devastating consequence to him. There were also corpse of large reptiles that stood the test of time. Any of them were over a 20 meters in length.

In the center of these corpse was a crystal clear drop of water, back then he didn't know it was blood and thought it was water, hence the reason he drank it. It was a also here, he obtained knowledge far beyond this era, he learned that this race, Kital, is from a unknown planet in a distant part of the universe. They are proficient in planetary trading. They go to worlds with the potential of sustaining life and sell them to the highest bidders, however when they come to this world, though they are powerful, they underestimate the power of the once overlords of this world, dying tragically.

After absorbing the blood, his body went through some mutation, firstly he became far stronger and his lifespan increase drastically. Secondly, he awakened the power of the blood, lightning manipulation, hence the reason he change his name to Zues.

In fact after noticing his power, Zeus became inflated by how powerful he was, and started posing as the King of the Gods. He cause rain for those who worship him, and cause disasters for those who opposed him.

Life continued like that for a couple centuries, until he became calm and wise. He no longer appeared in public, he no longer answer prayers, he simply begin to study his power. He also begin to develop feelings with a mortal and gained eleven children from her.

Unfortunately she died afterwards. She was a mortal after all, it was a miracle she could even give birth this many times.

Each of his children possess a abilities, though weaker than himself, they stood above humans. He named them all after the twelve olympians. He thought them how to control their powers and then created the 'Olympian Twelve'. And thats how life progress until now. It was fun while it lasted.

"I should have at least fifty years left before I die, I should travel the world. Its better than reading those reports." Zeus smiled, before going to a opened area inside the cave. In that opening there was a tree which was bearing fruits. Looking at the tree, Zeus frowned with worry, "The amount of fruits the tree is bearing is becoming less and less each century. Now it only produce five each year and it will probably be less next century. Mm, maybe if I used my corpse as fertilizer, It will produce more?" If it was before, Zeus would be even more worried since once he died, the future of the Enchanted Humans will be bleak, but the news of Apollo having a daughter cause a change in his thoughts. If it could happen once, it can happen again.

When Zues had sex with his wife, he didn't know that it was nigh impossible for Enchanted Humans to reproduce. If he did, he would have tried to fine ways to increase her lifespan or ask her about her family. If he could fine her family members, he could drastically increase the population but unfortunately she was abandoned, she didn't know who her parent or family was.

Signing, Zeus disappear in a blot of lightning, appearing in the skies, controlling the clouds to stand calmly in the skies.

Sitting inside a room are King Grigorios and King Constantinallis of Sparta who had frowns on their faces as they looked at the letters on the desk. What they had thought had become reality, it was really a god who attacked their soldiers, but what made them frown was the god who did it.

According to the letters sent by King Constantinallis's daughter and the female knights they have been taken by Pontus, one of the Primordial Gods. He had taken them to become his wives, and they had been impregnated by him.

King Grigorios, "Do you believe these letters? Looking at the secret symbols, it shouldn't be fake but why did Pontus take our people?"

King Contantinallis picked up one of the letters and looked at it, "It's not fake, this is my daughter's handwriting. I have thought her a unique to write that only I would notice. Her letter said everything you said before and even more. According to Zoe, she is located underneath the oceans in his palace, where she is being treated warmly. Other than the fact he doesn't allow them to leave, they are living far better than us."

"Thats interesting, so its confirmed, the gods are real? We could use this to our benefit, with a god, a primordial god no less as our backer, we could conquer a lot of territory, but that prophecy is quite alarming."

"It doesn't matter, we should keep this under wraps. We should attempt to get in contact with him and establish an official alliance. If we use his name and he becomes offended or some other gods become hostile against us, it's not worth it. I was originally worried that my daughter would have a difficult time once I die, but with a god as her husband, the likelihood of that has shrunk."
