Lord Shadow

Chapter 1388: The Temperamental Heaven

Zeus is very temperamental these days, catching dissidents and any detractors. It is probably because Hera had managed to caught him most unaware in the recent rebellion         

    

This time, this rebellion is different. Hera rebellion this time, is unlike in the past.     

This time, Zeus was truly nearly banished from Olympus. Hera determination this time is different so does her purpose.     

Whatever had happened between Zeus and Hera in the past, there is still a trace of affection between the two divine couple     

But this time Hera action is a statement. She does not love Zeus anymore and she holds no hope for him to ever change.      

And unlike Aphrodite who would lose her power once she no longer believe in love, Hera does not need to believe in love to retain her power.     

She is in most culture and belief is the Goddess of Marriage and in certain culture one that governs fertility      

Earth is not the only place in the Universe that once worship Hera.      

For marriage does not always have to be between two loving people. She is one that unites hearts, smooth the heart, a Goddess that unites.      

For all the love songs, in the end, love is very fragile.      

And it burns bright but burns shortly. In the end, if love is really that end all, be all, nobody would survive.     

Zeus is paranoid these days and he is in a bad mood every day. This news is not new for the Olympians.     

The King of Olympus, the ruler of the Heaven and the skies of Olympus      

Even though they are categorized as a Republic in the United Intergalactic Alliance, all of those Olympians is a king in their dominion     

The Republic is simply for propaganda purpose. And Zeus angered, is not an Olympian you wanted to provoke     

But that does not mean that these divine being would stay in Zeus side and risk provoking Poseidon.      

Poseidon himself is a very powerful Olympians and his sea monsters exist in every planet under the dominion of Olympus.      

It is not worth it to stand in either side right now.      

Poseidon is called the God of the Sea.     

And this is not a false title. Every sea in the Olympus start system and it galaxy, all of the sea, all of the water, in one way or another is under the control of Poseidon.     

Water brings life, and it also could bring great catastrophes.      

As for the sea monsters in Atlantis, they come out from their hiding places, and went to Atlantis Divine Palace, like a soldier that is about to march     

When Poseidon show his intent to meet the two gods of Olympus, his stable master has been ready.     

As Poseidon walk out from the palace, the stable master has already prepared his horses.     

Poseidon horses have brazen hoofs and golden manes.      

They look majestic and these horses have many abilities one is which that his horse could rode the winds and maneuver through the worst storms.          

    

Poseidon looks at his horse and smiles.     

Then he walks into the chariot and pull the reins. The horses neigh, a neigh which reach the skies and changes the clouds     

The horses move and the chariot moves upwards.      

With these horses he is riding in a chariot over the waves of the sea, which became smooth as he approached, and the monsters of the deep recognized him and played around his chariot.     

His chariot is being drawn by four horses.      

Those horses don’t look like normal horses.     

They’re hippocampi. Every sea creature gives way, fear to impede the way of the God of the Sea.     

They fear and respect the God of the Sea.      

Poseidon did not rid off the sea creatures that swarms around his horses.     

In just a few second Poseidon has break through the sea and appear between Heaven and Earth, floating in the sky, his aura pressures the sky above and the sea below.      

On the sky Apollo and Artemis look down on him. But the power emanating from Poseidon cow every living being into submission.      

How could two young Olympian could compete with that? The light behind Apollo dimmed and the charisma of power that Artemis seems to possess faltered.     

This is their uncle. But Poseidon is not the cool uncle to both Apollo and Artemis.      

He is the scary terrifying uncle that you would rather not see during family gatherings.      

The dark clouds seem to break away and dissipating by the force of Poseidon pressure. Poseidon look at both of them, his eyes alone radiated pressure and there is a sneer on the edge of his mouth.     

‘Insolent!’ Poseidon shouted.      

His shout created storm that charges toward Artemis. Artemisia frowned but she quickly sprang into action     

Her bow in her hand, her fingers pull her bowstring.      

The moment she pulls the bowstring, the sky changes colors and the clouds around her exploded, the pressure scatters all the clouds around her     

A golden arrows forms on her empty bowstring, each golden arrows seems to have the power to pierce through stars and planets.      

The moment it appears, the entire planet shakes with great intensity     

The sea roars as it becomes wild and unpredictable.     

But the finger did not release the bow strings. The golden arrow is still around the bow, and Artemis look toward Poseidon, her face frowning      

  ‘Uncle! Do not force me’      

Poseidon look at her but his expression did not change at all         

    

the storm did not stop. Instead, the storm began morphing itself into a slender thin spear that is as long as the distance between Heaven and Earth.     

The entire world seems to tremble because of the pressure of this spear.      

The spear itself is very sharp. If a divine being tries to see the properties of this spear, they could feel the sharpness attacking them     

The spear appears in an instant and the moment it moves even an inch, Artemis was startled,      

Artemis had no choice. Her hand releases the bow strings and she unleashes her arrow.      

The sun turns dims, the space around her cracks and time and space seems to collapse around her.      

The clouds all exploded into small atom particles. The sea below her exploded, the water that was about to splash into the air evaporated because of the pressure.      

The arrow shot straight and true, the spear and arrow collided.     

BOOOOM!     

A heaven rendering explosion occur.  An entire block of the sea evaporated into nothingness     

The entire clouds in the radius of ten thousand kilometers were dissipated because of the force of explosion.      

The dust finally settles, and the wind pushes the dust far away.     

There is no longer any spear. When the spear and the arrow clash with each other, the sound of the sky breaking could be heard     

So, the spear broke. But where is the arrow. The arrow clashes with the spear and dissipated into motes of light, neutralized almost immediately     

Even before the dust settles, Artemis could see the aftermath.      

Artemis mouth is moving as she was about to say something but before, Artemis could say anything, to explain why she is here, a hand pushes through the dust and grab her neck.     

BOOOM!      

A powerful shockwave erupted around Artemis neck and the entire space around Artemis collapsed, creating a space tear that ripped apart the size of a mountain     

However, there is a force that is forcing that tear to quickly closes up, like it is sewn by some kind of force.     

Artemis could feel her entire throat being clamp by a primordial force. She could not say anything other than the sound of being choked coming out of her mouth.     

‘Argh!’ she tries to morph into other shapes and other things.      

But, she could feel her entire divine energy is being locked upon that she could not change her appearance, could not shrink or enlarge herself.     

It is like her entire body is being chained. She looks down on that hand and then she looks at the being in front of him     

That hand belongs to Poseidon.     

Poseidon is in front of her, his eyes is as stormy as the seas and his hair flow upwards like there is a wind pushing it.          

    

A powerful force courses through Artemis entire body, making her unable to use any of her divine power.     

No matter how she struggles she could not release herself. Her familiar have all been blown away and even they know not to provoke the God of the Sea.      

Poseidon eyes look at Artemis, and Artemis felt like it was her being stared down by a predator. This kind of scene had been seen by her many times when she went hunting.     

Apollo who was a few thousand kilometers away finally reacted.      

‘Release my sister, Uncle!’ Apollo rode the wind and in just a few second he is already near Poseidon.      

The heat of the Sun seems to follow Apollo and the sea beneath his feet all evaporated, sea creatures near the surface is all dead     

Poseidon snorted and waves his hand and a divine storm surges from the sea. Wind, water and thunder come together, the storms shrouded Apollo     

Time and Space is altered inside that storm.      

  Apollo did not have a chance to use his bow before the storm swept him away     

It did not sweep him away a thousand kilometers but instead it swept him away with a divine force so a thousand kilometers is a gross underestimation.      

Apollo was push out of the atmosphere, and the force keep pushing him as his body is pushed millions of light years away, before finally crashing into the front gate of Olympus
