Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 145 Perseus Clan

“The Perseus Clan is divided into four parts. Each one of these parts signifies one of the four divine armaments that Perseus received from Athena and Hermes when he started his quest to slay the Gorgon, Medusa.

“These four armaments are the Harpe which said to have an ability to cut down immortals, the Bronze Mirror Shield, acting as a sort of detector that possesses sonar and radar functionality, it reflects the surroundings onto itself, showing the layout of an area and the heartbeats of any life present in the location, the Winged Boots that gave the user unimaginable speed and flight, and the Cap of Darkness which hides the existence of the user.” Cleria took out another piece of paper to illustrate what she is saying.

“Cap of Darkness?” The last item immediately caught Kisuke and Yoruichi’s attention as they might have encountered it.

“Yes. It’s a replica of Hades’ Helmet of Invisibility, and the only known replica of it.” Cleria explained as she thought that they are just curious about it.

“Is that so? Please continue your story.” Kisuke smiled and urges her to continue while concealing his frown, ‘The only replica, huh? That’s bullshit. I saw at least two goons wearing it. Is it a hidden fact that only Olympians should know? Or is it just Hades trying to hide its existence. The second possibility sounds like trouble and this Hades guy might have already focused one of his eyes in Kuoh Town. I should know more about him.’

“Moving on, the Perseus Clan elects one Main Clan from the four Minor Clans and it only happens once every three generations. The current Main Clan is the one representing the Bronze Mirror Shield As for how they elect one, it’s unknown to outsiders.”

“You should have some clues, right?”

“…Indeed. Especially when it’s this generation that they have to elect a new Main Clan. But what I’m hearing isn’t anything good.”

“Let’s hear it.”

“It’s not confirmed, but it seems that the current generation of that clan is currently hunting some kind of monster. But according to some reports I’ve received, they’re chasing after a human.”

Kisuke was suddenly reminded of the blinded folded woman who he came across yesterday, “Any description about this human?”

“None… The one being chased is always cloaked. I didn’t try to look after this human as I might catch the Perseus Clan’s attention.” Cleria shook her head.

“You’re afraid of them?”

“No, I can easily defeat the current Clan head as long as he doesn’t use the Shield.”

“He has the shield?” Kisuke’s eyes opened slightly in surprise and got an urge to examine it, ‘If it’s the same from the myths, then I want to know how it reflects magical attacks.’

“Yes. One of the benefits of becoming the Main Clan is that Athena or Hermes would grant them the treasure they are representing for three generations.”

“I see… So you’re not afraid of the Perseus Clan but the Gods behind them… Are they really that strong?”

“Yes. According to the records, Hermes is on par with a very strong Ultimate Class Devil and Athena could even rival her father Zeus who is the strongest Olympian God terms of battle prowess, which should be as strong if not weaker than Super Class Devils.”

“So these Olympian Gods are very strong so how are they pushed aside by Heaven?”

“They don’t really care about gathering beliefs as Heaven does. Heaven didn’t do anything directly to gather beliefs so the Olympians didn’t have any reason to take it out on them as it is Humans who is spreading the word of God.”

“That shouldn’t be the only reason as it is too weak.”

“You’re right. Another reason is that they’re not the only Mythological Faction that exists. Asgard and Tagamahara are watching the Olympus closely as they are known for doing something really stupid for their desires.”

“Hahaha… So it’s true that Zeus is the true source of all the problems that the Olympians face today?” Kisuke laughed as he remembers the things that Zeus did.

“Yes! You’re damn right! If he was able to keep his genitals in his pants, other races and mythologies wouldn’t have so much problem against the Olympians!” Cleria clenched her teeth as she hates these kinds of men the most which gave shivers to Masaomi who is beside her, ‘I’m not that kind of person… I’m not that kind of person…’ Masaomi started chanting in his mind.

“They’re that bad?” Kisuke is perplexed at her reaction, ‘They are on top of the world. They aren’t that stupid, right?’

“If other mythologies describe them as ‘more Human than Humans’, what do you think?” Cleria sneered, but she directed it to the said Olympian Gods.

“That’s pretty bad…” Kisuke’s mouth twitches when she heard her, ‘There is no worse description that you can give some Gods as more human than Humans.’

“Indeed… Even Devils at least tries to pretend that they’re elegant and noble. But these guys would claim a human if she or he like their appearance. Some are even jealous of a mortals appearance and would curse them just because of it.”

“So like this Athena?”

“Hmm? I’m surprised you know that version. The Olympians tried their best to hide that incident from the public. The only known records of what really happened are on the forbidden archive of large Clans as this information might incur the wrath of the Goddess if it spreads.”

“I just accidentally stumbled upon it.” In Kisuke’s mind, however, ‘It’s the most common version in my old world. She got jealous of Medusa’s beauty and cursed her when she found a chance.’

“We’ve trailed off quite a bit. Going back to the topic, the Perseus Clan’s younger generation would compete with each other to become the Main Clan Head. And whoever is successful would receive the divine armament that they represent and the power to control the whole Clan.

“In some accounts, if a God or Goddess took a liking to the successful Clan Head, they can be taken in as their lover and would get some of his or her divinity.

“The effect of divinity for Humans are enormous as they can grant superhuman strength, increased affinity to magic and most importantly lifespan of up to 300 years.”

“What the possibility of that being true?”

“Around 80%, I guess… Divinity is a mysterious type of energy after all.”

“Hmm… Anything else you know?”

“That’s all… Ah, I just remembered. It seems that some of my ‘eyes’ saw that one of the younger generations of Perseus Clan from the House of Harpe was seen chasing after a cloaked figure.”

Kisuke was reminded yet again of the blindfolded woman that she saw, “What if I get involved in all of this?”

“… Why would you do that?”

“I have my reasons.” Kisuke smiled and thought, ‘I’m interested in the woman and why would she disgust me. And I need to gather more information on this Olympian Gods, especially on Hades… I think we’ll clash sooner or later. He’s different from Devils that don’t know my existence. I have to arrange my cards against him just in case.’

Cleria furrowed her brows as she can feel Kisuke confidence from his smile so she asks, “How confident are you to go against the Gods and Goddesses?”

“Hmmm… Let’s see… If it’s just spanking a naughty Goddess’ ass, then I can manage.”
