章節 137: Chapter 131: Keeping the kids in line
(Percy POV)
Lightning flashed dangerously through the forest underneath me. I saw Tony firing lasers across the forest. Burning through tree trunks without much effort.
I glanced up and saw my webline was still attached to the Quinjet, I would probably survive the fall without my webline but it would hurt a bit.
While Thor and Tony were fitting I saw Loki just standing on the cliffside, having an amused smile on his face.
I frowned, 'Why don't you try to escape? This is the perfect chance.'
I shook my head and let go of the web.
I landed behind Loki and drew Riptide.
Loki turned around in surprise but before he could do anything I shot a blast of spiderweb at him, pinning him to the ground.
Before he could complain my attention drifted to something else.
In the distance I saw Iron Man flying up in the sky towards the cliff I was standing on.
As Tony flew up he pressed Thor's face against the cliff.
Ouch!
After that he made an U turn and threw Thor away.
The Thunder God smashed into a pinetree, then another, then another.
When he finally came to an halt Iron Man had caught up with him and brought down his iron fist on Thor but Thor grabbed him by the throat and threw him through the clearing. Causing a genocide among the pine trees.
It finally came down to physical combat, Thor hit Iron Man in the face with his hammer but it didn't do much. Tony tried to hit Thor but he grabbed him by the wrist, trying to use his strength to overpower him but Tony's suit boosted his own strength was well.
Tony had yet another trick up his sleeve, literally.
He opened his hand and revealed the rocket repulsor.
It blasted in Thor's face making him flinch for a second.
Tony heatbutted Thor, Thor headbutted him back.
Thor's headbutt was far stronger than Tony's.
He was thrown back but managed to slow down his fall and landed on his feet.
He immediately charged at Thor again, using the rockets underneath his feet to fly horizontally towards Thor.
Thor grabbed him by the arm and threw him against, yet, another pinetree.
I decided this pinetree genocide was enough and intervened.
I closed my eyes and drew power from Chaos.
Thor lifted his hammer to strike Tony.
Tony had every missile in his suit aimed at Thor.
Both were ready to strike but before they could golden weblines wrapped themselves around both competitors and restrained them.
They were coming from everywhere, from the trees, from the ground and from the moon itself.
There were at least a million of those golden lines, together they casted a soft golden glow upon the forest. The golden lines were not affected by gravity or matter, they phased through anything that was not Thor or Iron Man.
Thor tried to struggle against it and the golden lines that restrained him snapped for a brief second. He brought down his hammer but before it would hit Tony the hammer phased straight through him.
The golden lines appeared again and pulled the hammer away from Tony's face and back to its original position.
Tony thought he had a clear shot and launched all missiles point blank.
Before they would blast into Thor's face they turned into a swarm of golden butterflies.
They peaceful flattered away, into the night.
"What is this witchcraft?!" Thor yelled at Tony.
I decided to introduce myself and swung my way towards Thor and Tony.
"Hi," I said. "Nice to meet ya."
Thor frowned and glared at me. "Are you doing this?" he tried to move his arm but the golden lines kept him restrained.
The lines were not thick, maybe as thick as my spiderweb but there were a lot of them. They were coming from everywhere.
I nodded. "Yes."
"Kid," Tony's robotic voice said. "Let me go...please."
I shook my head. "Nop, first. Let's talk like the adults we are."
I grinned, knowing that Tony hated the fact I was younger than him, yet more powerful.
"Who are you!" Thor yelled. Then his eyes widened when he saw I was not that old.
"You're just a kid."
I huffed. "Maybe, anyway. Let's talk instead of beating each other up."
Thor tried to move his hammer but couldn't, thanks to the golden lines.
"What is this magic?" Thor asked.
"Universal Peace." I said, "And until you two decide to calm down it won't disappear."
That was a lie; Universal Peace was a power I created myself. It was inspired by Magnus' Peace of Frey. But I made my own version, since I couldn't copy Magnus' powers.
Universal Peace was basically me telling the universe to keep people from fighting.
When I activated it, the universe would try everything to prevent people, or monsters, from damaging each other.
Commanding the universe to do such a thing meant I had to use all of Chaos' powers which was not something Chaos allowed me to do a lot but since Universal Peace was a more passive power she allowed it reluctantly.
And when I say the universe would try everything, I mean everything.
It would even break its own laws to keep the peace; from enemies phasing through each other to slowing or stopping time.
It was a powerful combination of Hestia's control over peace, Chaos' power as ruler of the universe and my ability to talk with Yggdrasil (The world tree)
Thus I called it Universal Peace.
Cool Percy, I hear you say, Why don't you use it more often?
Well, like the saying goes: With great power...comes a great price.
Being a demigod my powers were limited and commanding the universe took a lot out of me, I could not do anything else except keeping my power up.
Meaning, I could not walk up to Thor and kill him. Or Tony.
But a bigger drawback was that it made me super vulnerable.
See, the universe trying to keep people from attacking each other did not include me, meaning if Thor or Tony would attack me...nothing would stop them.
I could not even stop them.
The restrains were based upon their intentions to kill each other, the moment Thor didn't want to kill Tony they would disappear, at that point he could easily kill me and I could do nothing to stop him. Even Tony would not be able to stop him since Universal Peace did not allow him to attack Thor.
It was tricky, but I remembered Thor being one of the good guys so I took the risk, as you can guess this was the reason I never used Universal Peace.
"So can we talk?" I asked with a fake smile.
Both Tony and Thor were reluctant, but they knew they could do nothing to each other. So they agreed.
"Now," I said. "Everyone here wants to stop Loki right?"
I added some soul speak magic.
They both nodded. "Well, why are you two attacking each other?"
"He stole my Loki!" Tony complained.
"The man in metal is wrong," Thor shot back, "I only took my Loki back. So he can face Asgardian Justice."
"You punched me!" Tony said.
"You shot me in the face with your shiny metal weapons!"
"Those are rockers you imbecil." Tony yelled.
Thor huffed. "You are small."
"Stop it!" I yelled.
They both stopped and turned to me. I breathed in and out.
Well," I said; looking both man in the eyes. "It seems like we have a common goal. Why don't we work together?"
It was almost like I was dealing with a bunch of kids. Almost, but these kids had nuclear weapons in their disposal.
They both reluctantly looked at eachother, knowing full well that a battle between the two of them would not bring a lot of good.
"Now shake each others hand." I said.
Tony reluctantly offered his hands. All the golden lines disappeared around him. So did Thor's.
Thor scoffed but nonetheless shook his hand.
"See?" I smiled. "You two are already BFFS."
"Shut it kid," Tony said glaring.
I sighed. "So are we done here?"
