The supreme sovereign system

It was already late at night; however, Alfonso was still awake, these past few days has been one thing after another and he hadn't been able to sit down and think like he usually did.

"Mmm… it really bothers me" Though Alfonso.

There have been two thoughts in Alfonso's mind these days.

"What the hell was that?" murmured Alfonso.

Going back to the first that the newcomers came, Alfonso didn't think about it so much back then, however, after thinking for a while he realized something.

"How did Socrates stop Demeter? He didn't use soul power at all!"

Ever since Alfonso came to this world, what surprised him the most wasn't exactly the existences of gods but the fact that, what we commonly call 'soul', its actually a tangible think that we can manipulate and use.

As time when on, even Alfonso managed to barely 'use' this power.

"Empathize in the word 'use', because I can't say by any means that I understand this power, the system helps me in using this power, but, I don't have a clear idea how I am able to use it in the first place, I do have some theories but… that's why I don't like to use the system that much…I used it anyway though" Murmured Alfonso.

He didn't trust this so-called 'system', what the hell what is in the first place? Anyone who is barely aware of their own situation would be suspected of something that is randomly attached to you, and you don't have any idea where it comes from or, more importantly, who or what put it with you in the first place.

"I don't believe that I transmigrated to this world by chance, something, or, even scarier, SOMEONE brings me here… but how, and more importantly, why?" Though Alfonso.

However, no matter how many times he thinks about it, nothing concrete comes to his mind, he was just an old man with a very normal and simple life back on earth.

"Well, I won't get the answer any time soon, I need more information and more understanding of how the 'soul' power works… wait, I got out of topic, yeah, so, anyway, giving the fact that I use soul power, I can, more or least, feel when someone uses it… but… in the case of Socrates… what was that?" Said Alfonso.

"That's the next step" Said a voice.

"Artemis?" Asked Alfonso.

"Here"

Alfonso looked back at the desk, Artemis was lending her body at the sofa while looking at him.

"How long have you been there?" Asked Alfonso.

"I am always by your side, you should know that by now" Said Artemis.

"True, however, I didn't feel you… strange" Said Alfonso.

"My powers are recovering from the battle in Tulip Town, every time I go to a battle, I become stronger, that's my 'nature' as the goddess of hunting, that's why you don't feel me even when I am at this distance, however, your powers are also increasing, that's why, I usually stay at this distance, by the way, cat one is also here, it just that she is a little bit further away" Said Artemis.

"Oh, that makes sense… anyway, what did you mean by 'the next step'?" Asked Alfonso.

Artemis looking at him and say

"That man, Socrates, doesn't have any soul power, his 'soul' is in a dormant stay, only, if a miracle happened, he would able to awake his soul power, so, for your first dude, is as you though, he doesn't have any kind of soul power" Said Artemis " As for the next question… you should know by now that we, gods, surpass mortals because we can manipulate and use soul power… however, that's only the first step, the second step is the use of our 'nature' to use as secondary energy on our body, when we manage to have both powers on our body, we will be able to reach the next level, the semi-god level, by then, we have a long way to go to achieve godhood, to put in short words, we have to achieve a perfect resonance between our 'nature' and our souls… as for that old man, he doesn't have the first one, but he has the second one, and that force is at the same level as the soul power or maybe even more, that power was very troublesome for us, gods, back in the day" Said Artemis.

"Why?" Asked Alfonso.

"As you see, the soul power, isn't something that any human can use randomly, nor it can be trained, only by receiving an 'impulse' from us, gods, can a human activate their soul power, what you humans call champions are humans that have received the 'grace' from the gods… on the other hand, this other power is troublesome because this one CAN be activated without the need of a god, and, what is, even more, scarier, it can be trained! Perseus, Heracles, Achilles, Hector and many more were clear examples of this, they didn't receive the grace of the gods, nevertheless, they were able to make use of their second power and change fate, that's why we always looked carefully these individuals, we couldn't let them develop too much… well, some of them do deserve to stand beside us so we just let them be" Said Artemis.

"What is this amazing power you are talking about?" Asked Alfonso.

Artemis took a deep breath and say

"Is what you humans like to call 'will'" Said Artemis.

"Will?"

"Ah, we, gods, don't need to train will because our own 'nature' defines us, so we obtain the 'nature' in birth and 'train' it in our daily life, but, I can also be achieved by actual training, of course, you have to awaken it first, that man, Socrates, awaken it a long time ago, he just doesn't realize it himself, a shame, if he has at least, a tiny bit of soul power, he could become a 'king' easily, a weak one, but a king nevertheless" Said Artemis.

"Will? How do you activate it!?" Asked Alfonso.

"It comes naturally, you can't force it, at least, that happened with the humans I chose as my champions, let it come naturally, for now, you don't need it, and, even if you had it, both powers would fight for the control of your body and you will suffer a serious backslash, before even trying to search for that power, consolidate your soul power first" Said Artemis with a serious face.

"One step at the time, a good saying indeed," Said Alfonso who looked back to his window.

"Now that, that is settled, let's discuss our next issue" Said Alfonso with a serious face.
