BXBX NOVEL Chapter 206 - Weird Gods
"Io, Susana, can you bring me some wine?" Asked Alfonso.
"Yes, my lord" Answered Io.
Susana looked at Alfonso for some seconds before saying something without voice and turned around to follow Io.
"Come later, alone"
It's what Alfonso could understand while reading Susana's lips.
Alfonso made the okay gesture and both women left the room.
"Hello, god Dionysius, goddess Aphrodite, welcome to Wasteland Valley" Said Alfonso
He bowed in front of them.
"My name is Alfonso Lockheart, the current lord of this land; it's a pleasure to meet you"
Both the boy and the mummy looked at Alfonso and each of them had a… particular answer.
Dionysus pulled Alfonso's sleeve.
"Human, it's your wine good?" Asked Dionysius.
"Well… I… I think so?"
"Good, then bring me a lot, I threat my followers with care so don't hesitate to ask for me something" Said Dionysius with a smile.
"… Okay?" Said Alfonso with a puzzle expression.
On the other hand, Aphrodite put her arms on her waist and with a prideful smile(?), she said
"HoHo, wait to go, young man! You are indeed someone loved, although you are not something great, you aren't that bad either, I shall let you become my follower just because I pity you, be grateful, because this goddess have receive you in her embrace!" Said Aphrodite.
Alfonso looked at her.
"Hmph! Who wants to be your follower!? Arrogant bitch!" Said Artemis.
"B..b…bitch!? who are you calling bich, caveman!?" Shouted Aphrodite.
Both of them glared at each other with hated and started arguing once again.
Alfonso looked at both and could only sigh, Demeter looked at Alfonso and called him over.
"You should get used to it, those two hated each other to their core" Murmured Demeter.
"I have an Idea of why, however, would you mind telling me?" Said Alfonso.
"Its basically because of their very core of ideologies, as you know, Artemis has a fond towards pregnant woman, you know why? Because she is the protector of the pregnant and the mothers, so, she has the idea that intercourse cannot be done with any other propose than child birthing" Murmured Demeter "On the other hand, Aphrodite it's the other side of the coin, true, she also protects woman in love, however, she doesn't difference physical love from true love, in fact, she prefers physical love; that's why, she has never had any kid and doesn't plan to either, she could have sex for any other reason than child birthing, you understand know?" Asked Demeter.
"I get it"
"I also get it, that's why, we should bring some wine"
"That's right, we should get wine" Said Demeter.
"Yeah, let's go get wine" Said Alfonso.
Both of them turned around and when on their way to the kitchen, however, before they get to the door, Demeter pulled herself and Alfonso back.
"Child, don't do that" Said Demeter.
"… Sorry, auntie" Said Dionysus.
Alfonso looked at the exchange and though for some time.
"What happened? How come I followed his order without even thinking about it?"
Demeter looked at Alfonso's face and sighed.
"Sorry about that, its because this child ability, he has this weird ability that let him influence on others actions without them noticing him, it's quite powerful, so be careful" Said Demeter.
"Now that I think about it, I haven't seen their stats yet" Though Alfonso.
Alfonso looked at them and called the system.

After seeing the introduction of Dionysus abilities, Alfonso was stunned.
"How come he has such abilities, isn't he supposed to be the god of parties and wine? His abilities look more like Ares abilities should be like, did we, humans, missed Dionysius history at some point?" Though Alfonso.
Alfonso knew about Dionysius, as an historian, he knew about the folklore of Dionysus in the mythological Greek, nowhere in his stories and tails mention him as a soldier.
"What is going on?" Though Alfonso.
Maybe the stories were wrong?
Or maybe, they lost some important information of Dionysius life somewhere in the past.
"This requires more investigation, I should ask him personality later" Though Alfonso.
Alfonso turned around and looked at Aphrodite.
"Her stats should be, more or less, like Demeter's, right?" Murmured Alfonso.
However, when Alfonso looked at Aphrodite's information, he was stunned to his core.

Remark two: Because of her infidelity, she was cursed to wear the [Coffin dress] that suppress her natural beauty from the world, it was made from the skin of Uranus and its unbreakable, at least, that's what the gods think]
Alfonso looked at Aphrodite abilities and information once more, he was speechless after reading the remarks.
"It seems that something is wrong with the system" Though Alfonso.
[Nothing is wrong with the system, dear host]
"Then, explain to me, why cant I see the stats of Aphrodite? What with all the question marks?"
[Goddess Aphrodite is a special case among the Olympus gods, for better understanding, you ask her yourself]
Alfonso tried to deduce what was happening, he had conjectures, however, none of them were that realistic, so, there was only one way to prove his hypothesis.
"Excuse me, Miss Aphrodite"
Alfonso called Aphrodite, who was still fighting with Artemis.
"Oh, little one, what do you have to say to this goddess?" Asked Aphrodite.
"Miss Aphrodite, in my world, you are known as one of the strongest goddesses, but, one of the weakest as well, why is that?"
Alfonso couldn't tell her about the system, so he tried to get the info with a tricky question.
"Hmph! You humans think that strength its equal to destruction, that's why you all are ugly" Said Aphrodite.
"You can't even kill a human in your goddess form, what with that attitude?" Said Artemis with a smirk.
"You were the same when you get here" Though Alfonso.
"Artemis, even if Zeus himself was here, he won't afford to do anything to me, in fact, nobody can! Or, do I have to remember you, who, I am!?" Said Aphrodite with a prideful smile (?)
"A slut? I am very well aware of that" Said Artemis.
"Hmph! You are still the same barbarian as ever, go back to your cave!" Said Aphrodite.
And, then again, they resumed their fight.
Alfonso looked at Demeter in confusion, however, she was also busy.
Dionysius was sitting on the floor with his head looking down while Demeter was scolding him.
What he heard almost make him puke blood.
"Child, you must be respectful the man over there, he is your uncle after all" Said Demeter
"Auntie, Is he your man?" Asked Dionysius.
"Yep, he is my man, remember that, so if you see any wrenches trying to approached him, you know what to do right?" Said Demeter.
"Yes, auntie. However, what if he approaches on his own will?"
"He wouldn't dare to" Said Demeter with a cold voice.
Alfonso touched his forehead.
Alfonso approached them.
"First, I am not your man yet, what are you talking about!?" Said Alfonso.
"Its going to happen anyway" Said Demeter with a happy expression.
"…"
Alfonso was speechless.
"OH!? OH!? OH!? ARE MY PORCELAIN EARS HEARING THIS RIGHT!? DEMETER, THAT DEMETER, THE COLDNESS PERSONIFIED IN THE LOVE ASPECT IS ACTUALLY SAYING THAT SHE HAS A MAN!? OMG, OMG, OMG" Aphrodite suddenly jumped of emotion.
Alfonso felt his headache turning for the worse.
"Can I switch gods?" Though Alfonso.
