As I saw the Divine Spear of Themis about to reach my Soul, suddenly, rays of light, flames, spiraling water, darkness, and several other elements clashed against her weapon and stopped her.

CLAAASH!

Half of the Gods stopped her, including Theia and Oceanus.

"Unnggh…?! Why are you stopping me?! She\'s an insolent lowly mortal! Do you want this little insect to lecture you now? After all we have done for THEM?!"

Themis roared furiously, her armor shining with the light of the sun itself.

"I agree that she\'s overdone it, but she\'s a child, and my chosen one." Theia said, her eyes shining like stars. "Don\'t you dare touch her."

"We are Gods, Themis. Hurting and killing mortals is not something we do. It would go completely against our own code, and wouldn\'t it be what the World\'s Will want?" Sighed Oceanus. "Insolent or not, children are children."

"You\'ve really got some anger issues if you are freaking out so much over the rambles of a kid." Sighed Hyperion. "Give them a slack, will you? Children do tantrums sometimes." If I was not wrong, according to religion, he\'s the Chief God of Heaven and the Sun, one of the strongest out there.

"Don\'t be so heartless. All life is precious." A beautiful and motherly goddess said, some of the water that stopped Themis came from her. I heard she was referred as Tethys, Chief Goddess of Fresh Water and Nursery.

"Tch…" Themis clicked her tongue, as her Divine Spear was quickly taken away by darkness, as it disappeared.

"No weapons in the meeting." The lugubrious, tenebrous voice of the only god whose entire body was covered on black robes spoke. I heard his name was Iapetus, Chief God of Death, and Lifespan.

I had said everything I wanted to say, yet they all took it as if I was making a tantrum. They didn\'t take me serious at all and were most likely not going to take away the divine protections anyways, for fuck\'s sake.

"Sylphy, let\'s calm down for now, my child. Let\'s assess things calmly. I understand your fears, your anger, and what you\'ve gone through. Let me tell you that I merely want the best for you and your family." Theia said with a gentle smile.

"I appreciate your intentions but I already said I don\'t want this divine protection." I sighed.

"The thing is… even if you don\'t want it anymore, we cannot take it out." Theia said.

"Divine Protections are a small part of our divinities which we fuse into the soul of our chosen one. It grants them our divine powers, a fraction of it. Which develops into incredible abilities and talents. It is our way to fight the Demon Kings." Hyperion explained. "Therefore, at the stage you two are, it is impossible to take it away, unless we were to destroy your souls."

"Yeah, if you wanted them out so badly, I could had gladly done it for you." Themis smiled maliciously at me.

Geez, is this creep really a goddess?!

"So you can\'t… take them out?" Aquarina finally spoke, her eyes filled with sadness.

"Sadly we cannot." Oceanus sighed. "But Sylphy… she\'s right. We have been doing this so forcefully for so long now. Perhaps we should first find those that want to aid us instead of choosing the strongest and most promising ones."

"Giving a divine protection to Sylphy was also a way to keep watch on her though… That one we were never going to miss, sadly." Said Tethys.

"Excuse me? Am I that dangerous?" I asked.

"Your soul has a bottomless amount of Mana. This Mana comes from… somewhere, not our own world. It simply never ends coming, endlessly. You possess the power of infinite energy." Said Theia. "Such power is very dangerous, for you and those you love. We are merely protecting you by watching over you."

Theia tried to make things nice, but it was clear these damned creeps were all afraid of my strength.

But isn\'t that good?

If they\'re really afraid of my strength… then one day I could contend against them.

Perhaps I would finally be able to free the people of this world from their stupid decisions, their tyranny, and their hypocrisy.

…

Or maybe… I am thinking too far and ambitiously for my age.

But as long as I could have the strength, perhaps they wouldn\'t dare bother me anymore.

I just… dislike how I\'ve got this bunch of old creeps watching over me and spying me, damned bastards.

"You\'re all full of shit." I sighed. "All of you…"

"Sylphy please…" Theia sighed.

​ The other gods all looked at one another without really knowing what to do. Indeed, this felt very awkward for them. However, one of them ultimately spoke.

The one that has remained in silence, watching over all of us, a tall man with a gray beard and long gray hair, sharp eyes with irises in the shape of clocks. It wasn\'t hard to imagine who this man holding a staff with the tip of a sand hourglass to be.

"Despite your childishness and immature nature, I understand your feelings, future hero." He spoke with a dignified voice, all other gods shut down, even Themis. "However, as the god of Time, I can assure you that there\'s no way to turn back time. What has happened is long in the past, we must simply keep moving forward from now on."

He was of course Cronus, the Chief God of Time

"Sigh… So what? What do you want us to do now? Why did you even called us here?" I asked angrily. "If you wanted to forge bonds with us or something, then you\'re all wrong, there\'s no way I am doing any of that."

"We must tell you about the dangers that approach, and to find the other heroes lost within the world. A few of them are within the very continent where you are." Cronus spoke.

"Indeed, and we must also tell you two about the Demon King… It is something we must tell you of immediately, we have been hiding this information from you, but we feel it should be time we told you." Theia said.

"So there\'s already a new Demon King? Ugh…"
