The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 208 - Mirror



Alfonso was currently sitting with the gods in the main hall of the manor.

The view was quite spectacular

A handsome man with long black hair, a beautiful goddess, a cute young man and a mummy.

"ARE YOU REALLY SAYING THAT I, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GODDESS OF THE OLYMPUS, APHRODITE, SHALL LIVE IN THIS GODFORSAKEN PLACE!? WHAT KIND OF INJUSTICE DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS TREATMENT!?" Said Aphrodite indifferent.

Artemis's forehead twitched but she remained quiet, because that was the deal with Alfonso.

Alfonso also touched his forehead.

"Ah, my head" Though Alfonso.

Meanwhile, the young teenager took a long sip of the cup that he was holding.

*Puahhh*

He made a satisfied expression and looked at Alfonso.

"Ahh~ you are good person, Auntie's man, this wine isn't bad at all, as long as you give me wine, I don't mind staying here~" Said Dionysius.

Demeter heard Dionysius and smiled.

"Good boy" Though Demeter.

"Where do I start?" Though Alfonso.

"First, although this place is indeed quiet bad, it isn't that bad, I am making plans so this place is a place where people desire to live in, please be patience, second, as you might have notice, your powers have been erased and you are, more or less, like humans, so , it would be quite difficult to survive in this current world with the mindset that you are gods, and third!"

Alfonso looked at Dionysius.

"Please, just call me Alfonso" Said Alfonso between tears.

""Why?"" Asked Demeter and Dionysius at the same time.

"…" Alfonso was speechless.

All in all, everything settle that afternoon, Dionysius, in a drunk state, when to sleep with a happy expression, leaving Alfonso and the three girls in the hall.

"By the way, I want to ask this, Aphrodite… why are wearing that?" Asked Alfonso

Aphrodite 'looked' at Alfonso and trembled a little, Artemis, on the other hand, looked at Aphrodite with a smile.

"Come on, Aphrodite, tell him why" Said Artemis.

"… it's because of him…" Murmured Aphrodite.

"?"

"…."

Aphrodite seemed too mad too answer, so, in her place, Artemis when and said with a smirk.

"Because she cheated, Zeus make her dress like that so she can never show her beauty again"

Finally, Aphrodite exploded

"CHEATED!? I DIDN'T CHEAT ON ANYONE!" Said Aphrodite.

"BECAUSE I NEVER LOVED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

"I WAS FORCED, YOU HEARD ME, I WAS FORCED TOO MARRY HIM! ZEUS WANTED TO REWARD HIM AND HE GAVE MY HAND IN MARRIAGE, WITHOUTH EVEN CONSULTING ME, HOW COME I HAVE TO MARRY SOMEONE I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT WELL!" Said Aphrodite.

Alfonso nodded, however, Artemis didn't.

"Even so, you were married, when marriage is done, the wife have to be faithful and the husband must provide for the home, that's what is set in the laws of earth and heaven since ancient times, you, as well as me and everyone else know this" Said Artemis.

"You said that, however, you don't know anything about love so your opinion doesn't matter" Said Aphrodite.

"I have seen many mortals love" Replied Artemis.

"Being a bystander isn't the same as being the actor, so, it doesn't count, however, if you don't believe, how about you ask the mortal right over there that you trust so much" Said Aphrodite.

Both goddesses turned around to look at Alfonso.

"Crap" Though Alfonso.

He turned around to look for his only savior at this moment.

Demeter looked at him and gave a small sigh before moving his head to the sidelines.

"Traitor!" Though Alfonso.

Alfonso looked at Aphrodite and Artemis and then sighed.

"Look, I will only tell you this based on my experience… I believe that there is no way that you can know what love is if you haven't experienced it yourself" Replied Alfonso.

Both goddesses looked at him.

"However, you can know what love isn't, take me as an example, I have lived a long time and I still don't know what love is, however, I had many encounters and small relationships with women, and I know that that wasn't love, it was just lust, that's why, I don't think that Aphrodite cheated, at least with Hephaestus case, because she wasn't in love with him" Said Alfonso.

Artemis made an annoyed face and turned around to leave.

"Well said, human! You aren't that bad after all!" Said Aphrodite.

"*Sigh* I won't change my believes just because she is dear to me, I have my own point of view, however, I will appreciate if you don't do this in the future, it gets me in a bad spot" Answered Alfonso.

"You… are a little weird…" Answered Aphrodite.

She looked at Alfonso for some seconds before lifting her hand.

"But you aren't bad, I will let you shake my hand, be thankful" Said Aphrodite.

Alfonso chuckle before extending her arm.

He grabbed Aphrodite's hand, which was enveloped in the thigh clothe, and then, he grabbed it.

At that time…

""Eh?""

Alfonso felt the power of time surging from his eye and began to absorb, time particles, however, what he was most surprising about was where the power was coming from.

"The cloth!?" Though Alfonso.

Aphrodite was also surprised, she looked back at the place were Alfonso was currently touching.

The cloth seemed to come to live and began to unraveled and the strings began to enter Alfonso's body from her arm going all the way to his eye.

"THE CLOTH!?" Said Aphrodite.

"M…MY EYE!" Alfonso felt a surge of power coming from his eye, however, coming along with this, came a huge sensation of burning.

*PUM!*

With a small explosion when all the way to the wall while he grabbed his eye.

"Alfonso!" Shouted Demeter.

Aphrodite stood there looking at her cloth, everything seeing to return to normal, however, she made a small smile under the cloth.

"What happen?" Asked Demeter.

"I… I don't know" Said Alfonso.

"YOU!"

Aphrodite came running and grabbed Alfonso's collar.

"Are you related to Uranus!?" Asked Aphrodite.

"U… Uranus?"

"Uranus, the creator of this world, our great- grandfather" Said Demeter.

"Answer me, human!" Asked Aphrodite.

"I… I am not" Said Alfonso.

"Then… how is this possible…" Murmured Aphrodite.

"Aphrodite, was is your cloth made off?" Asked Demeter.

Aphrodite looked at Alfonso and Demeter and said with a firm tone

"Zeus made this with the remain skin of the corpse of Uranus, it has his powers on it and it binds my whole powers, however…" Said Aphrodite.

She lifted her arm and show it to Alfonso and Demeter.

A small white, porcelain like pinky could be seem.

"When you touched the cloth, the cloth began to unreleased the binds and transfer that power to you, that's why, I ask you again, are you related anyhow to Uranus?" Asked Aphrodite once again.

"No, I am not… but-"

"But what?"

Alfonso took a deep breath and looked at her straight into the eyes.

"I do have his direct descendants heritage on me, the titan Chrono's power of time" Said Alfonso.

Aphrodite was astonished with this revelation and took a few steps backs.

"Demeter, what is the meaning of this?" Asked Aphrodite.

"It's a long story, however, I can assure this, he isn't Chrono, and he never will" Said Demeter.

"I have time to spend, so, how about you start from the beginning" Said Aphrodite.

"Okay, let me start since I came from the first time" Said Demeter.

And like that, they started their long… long conversation.

.....................

That night, while everyone was sleeping, Alfonso woke up, he wasn't feeling sleepy, on the contrary, he was very confused about the vents of today.

"Let's probe my theory" Thought Alfonso.

Alfonso took out his eye patch and looked himself in the mirror, his eye was in its brightest and he could felt that there was a power like never before, waiting to wake up.

However, Alfonso wasn't feeling delighted, not in the slightest.

On the contrary…

He was feeling scared.

He looked at his hair and now, it was fifty-fifty in terms on black and golden.

"What is the power of time doing to me" Though Alfonso.

He took a deep breath and canalized the power of time on his eye.

"I can do it, I can do it" Though Alfonso.

He extended both arms and shouted.

"TIME…. STOP!" Shouted Alfonso.

*BZZZZZT*

Alfonso felt the power of time exploding on his eye and the world at his surroundings seemed to slow down.

The birds outside slowed down more and more…..

Until finally, after less than a second…

They stopped.

Alfonso's head veins could be seeing but he hold it for some seconds.

"1…2…3"

Alfonso began to count the seconds until finally… everything returned to normal.

Alfonso kneeled on the ground and grasped for air.

"3 seconds, I can stop time 3 for three seconds before running out of energy" Though Alfonso.

He looked back at the mirror and looked that his eye has returned to normal, losing its previous brightness.

"This will be a huge burst to my current powers" Though Alfonso.

However, just as he was smiling, he freeze when he looked back at the mirror.

He looked a man with two black holes instead of eyes and a huge creepy smile looking at him.
