Chapter 196

I certainly wasn't expecting this kind of reception. I looked around the amphitheater that I had just portaled inside. There were a lot more gods here than just the Olympian ones. 

"See! Do you see! I was right! I told you she would come!" A dark skinned woman dressed in an African tribal outfit shouted excitedly from the stands. 

I could feel a small spark of divinity from her. Although, she felt like one of the weakest Goddesses I'd ever laid eyes on. 

"Ara, we do see…" A beautiful woman dressed in Chinese robes said from the upper stands. She was looking down at Hela and I curiously. 

"Sorry about interrupting…whatever this is, but I'm only here for the Olympians." I said.

CRACK!

A bolt of Divine Lightning streamed down from the top of the amphitheater. It zipped directly towards my head and was laced with anger!

"I don't think so." Before it could hit me, Hela raised her hand and slapped the lighting to the side. 

"Oh shit!"

"Eeeeep!"

A couple of other gods I didn't recognize dove out of the way to avoid the ricochet lightning. 

Hela glared at the man who attacked me.

"Those are some bold words! You come here, to the heart of Olympus and claim that you are going to take US into custody!?" An older man wearing a white toga spat at us angrily. He was also the one who just tried to kill me so I'm assuming that this was Zeus.

[Zues: The King of Olympus - Level 62]

My assumptions were correct. 

I decided to take a look at the other most powerful Gods and Goddess in the room. I'm not sure what kind of meeting I just interrupted. 

[Poseidon: Ruler of the Seas - Level 57]

[Hades: King of the Underworld - Level 60]

[Nuwa: Mother of the Immortals - Level 67]

[Lugh: Celtic God of the Sun - Level 63]

[Quetzalcoatl: Queen of Serpents - Level 53]

Finally, I checked on the African woman who was shouting at me as soon as I arrived here. I wanted to know who she was and why she didn't like me.

[Bast: Panther Goddess of Wakanda - Level 40]

Bast? What did I do to offend her? I don't think I ever acted against Wakanda. I'd only spoken a few words to their princess so far. I hadn't even taken her offer to meet up with her in private. I had simply been too busy and told her that we'd have to meet up another time in the future. 

[Their princess has clearly fallen for your nefarious charms. Bast must have been in love with her and is jealous!]

I could tell that the system was just kidding. Shuri seemed more like a fangirl than anyone romantically interested in me.

[I was just joking. I'm stumped as well. Usually when people hate you, there's a much more obvious reason.]

"You say you've come to take the Olympians in custody?" Nuwa asked me. "Under whose authority? The Christian God?" She asked hesitantly. 

I shook my head. "I'm here under the authority of the US government. They've hired me to take the entire pantheon into custody for numerous crimes against humanity!" I waved my hand and a stack of warrants a foot high appeared on the floor next to me. I read through some of these warrants. They're pretty messed up.

The Gods and Goddesses in the room blanched at me. 

"Pfff…You're here on behalf of the mortals!? Oh, that's priceless!" Lugh laughed loudly. He pulled out a flask and started knocking it back. When he was done, he casually tossed it aside and wiped his lips. "Who knew the mortals had reached a point where they think they can challenge us?"

"That's right!"

"How dare they!"

"Those stupid humans think they're on our level now?"

Numerous weaker Gods and Goddesses started booing me from around the amphitheater. I just ignored them. A bunch of them were so weak I could kill them with a slap. Most of them weren't even out of the 30s level-wise. They were barely stronger than Voldemort was and here they were talking shit…

"Ara, how amusing. Numerous powerful cultivators in my Palace were once regular mortals themselves. I've never looked down on them." Nuwa said. "That being said…I believe they are overstepping their capabilities here–even if they sent you."

"*Hic* If you're just here for the Greeks then take them! Those assholes deserve what's coming to them! *Hic*!" A drunken woman wearing Arabian clothing yelled out. 

[Tenenet: Egyptian Goddess of Alcohol - Level 39]

Her title explained why she was drunk…

"What!? That's absolute bullshit! I've been peacefully living in the Underworld for thousands of years now! What crimes have I committed?" Hades spoke up and tried to defend himself.

"Your son was Hitler…" I deadpanned and crossed my arms.

"...Fuck." Hades muttered.

"Hahaha! Not so smug now are you?" Poseidon laughed at Hades. He turned to me. "You want to arrest me as well? I don't think so! Compared to Hades, I'm a Saint! I've never committed wanton murder like he and his children!" He said proudly.

"Hundreds of ships have gone missing in the bermuda triangle over the centuries. We know that was done by you trying to hide Atlantis. Not to mention, how many Tsunamis that hit coastal towns are natural and how many are caused by you." I said to him. 

"…Fuck." Poseidon muttered.
