The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[Realm of the Dead] 

"I can't believe your plan worked… he seems to be going after his brother's son like we have planned" Nyx gushed out excitedly as she stared at the legendary weapon with stars in her eyes. 

"Sister, you should calm down" Erebus said with a complicated look on his face. He was trying to calm down his sister. 

Tartarus almost rolled his eyes at the antics of the sister-brother duo. "Now that we have the weapon in our hands, what are we going to do with it?" Tartarus asked and looked towards Hades, the mastermind behind the whole plan. 

Apparently, it has been some time since Hades was planning to steal the master bolt and he also created a perfect pawn for that. Luke Castellan. Hades manipulated Luke to steal the master bolt while framing Poseidon's son and that is how Hades got the weapon in his hands without leaving the Realm of the Dead. 

"We are going to test it out… that is obvious and I know perfect people who are willing to test this out" Hades said in a sinister tone. 

"But Zeus will notice if the weapon is used" Angra Mainyu pointed out and Hades simply waved his skeletal hand. 

"No, he won't. He would be busy dishing it out with Poseidon. There is no way Poseidon's son will be able to reclaim this from my hands and Zeus will kill Poseidon's son in a fit of rage" Hades said and started to laugh loudly. 

"I don't think Zeus would kill Poseidon's son… there is no way he will come down to the mortal world if it's not to sleep with some woman who caught his eyes" Erebus pointed out and once again Hades pointed towards the weapon in his hand. 

Nyx gasped but moments later, a sinister grin appeared on her face. "You mean to kill the boy and set up Zeus? With that weapon in our hands, replicating Zeus's power will be a piece of cake" Nyx pointed out and the other Gods in the room hummed in agreement. 

"We could also try this weapon on the Destroyer" Angra Mainyu proposed and Hades started to rub his jaw with a thoughtful look on his face. 

"...I didn't have any plans of attacking him right now… let's have a test run before attacking him" Hades said and everybody decided to follow Hades's plan as they didn't want to jump guns before testing the weapon's capabilities. 

All of them had seen how capable the weapon was in Zeus's hands but they didn't know if someone else could use the weapon or not and they also needed to know how much power they would be able to draw since the weapon was no longer in Zeus's hands… 

[POV Reo] 

I took a small sip of my drink as I stared outside the window. Both Nat and Nemuri were peacefully asleep on the bed but there were a couple of things I needed to take care of now. I was going to become a father and I couldn't remain passive any longer. 

I finally decided to start moving so that I could erase all the problems. I needed to train so I could return home to my family after the war. The war couldn't be avoided, it was inevitable. I needed to take this more seriously. 

I decided to nip it in the bud… cut the problem from the root. I looked towards Nat and Nemuri and a soft smile appeared on my face. I gulped down the whole drink and gently placed the glass on the table. I quickly got dressed in a business suit and moments later, I disappeared from the room. 

Without making a noise I appeared in New York, I found myself standing in front of an old-fashioned fruit stand. Three old women were occupying the stand sitting in rocking chairs. Nobody except the three old women noticed me. It was still dusk in New York City. 

The three old women froze when they noticed my sudden arrival. I Conjured myself a chair and sat down. "From your reactions, I understand that you know me" I said and the three old women didn't say anything and kept looking at each other. 

"...We do know you and we also understand that you are going to mess with the fates of various beings" the old woman sitting in the middle said and I nodded my head in agreement. There was no use denying it. 

"Yes, you are right. I came here to ask if you three are going to support me or not… if yes, then everything will go on smoothly but unfortunately, if you decided not to work with me then three will be the ones to go first. I can't have you three interfering"

"I am going to give you five minutes to decide and please don't try to do anything foolish…" I said while pointing towards their hands. "Your time starts now" I said as I kept looking at them. 

Yes, I was sitting right in front of Fates from Greek Mythology. Now, threatening the Fates isn't smart but I am kind of out of their jurisdiction. Even my women are out of their jurisdiction. Only the people born in the Greek Territory are under their jurisdiction. 

Clotho: Fate of Birth

Lachesis: Fate of Life

Atropos: Fate of Death

Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos are also known as The Fates or The Moirai are the three divine personifications of destiny. They control the metaphorical thread of life of every being born in the Greek Territory from birth to death. 

The three of them simply looked at each other for a few moments until the three of them nodded at each other. "You know, you are the first being who dared to threaten us…" Clotho said and I simply smiled after hearing the compliment. 

"But you have to forgive us, we couldn't join you. We are Fates and we remain impartial" Lachesis said and I simply hummed after hearing their words. 

"We also know that we are being hypocritical as we control all the lives under our jurisdiction according to our whims… if we decide everyone would be living similar lives inside our territory but we don't" Atropos said and I simply tilted my head in understanding. 

"So that's your decision?" I questioned and all three of them nodded their heads. 

"I understand and goodbye" I said and the three old women in front of me turned into dust along with the fruit stand and their rocking chairs. Something shifted around in the surroundings as their influence over this area disappeared. 

It didn't mean that the people in this Territory won't die or be born but now the Concepts will be able to directly deal with the Fate of all the population in this Territory without any influence of a third party. 

For now, I decided to lie back and watch for a couple of days. What I just did was going to shake the whole foundation of Olympus. To be honest, I feel bad for them but only they are inconsequential when compared to my family. 

Greek Gods were always known to be arrogant. Maybe they will finally get to learn something good before they completely disappear… Hades should have stayed away from me and my family… 

[Mount Olympus] 

Zeus gasped in horror as he felt the existence of Fates disappear… 'Impossible!! This shouldn't be possible!!' Zeus screamed inside his mind as he shot out of his throne. He needed to check it with his own eyes… he didn't want to descend to the mortal world but it was more than necessary…

Zeus was already enraged due to the theft of his lightning bolt and now this? What the hell was happening? How can someone kill the three of them at the same time?? Questions started to pop inside his head as he finally activated the teleportation circle. 

Zeus appeared where the Fates were supposed to be… and found nothing. Nothing!! The mortals completely ignored the strange man as he was using Magic to make the mortals ignore him. Zeus desperately looked for any signs and found a trace of Power of Destruction. 

'No!' Zeus internally gasped. 'Sirzechs Lucifer?' He questioned internally but he immediately rejected the idea. Sirzechs Lucifer might be ranked in the top 10 strongest beings but even he wouldn't be able to erase Fates so effortlessly. 

Sirzechs Lucifer would have needed to release his full power to achieve something like this and he would have noticed if Sirzechs Lucifer released his full power inside his Territory. Someone else was responsible for this… he immediately activated the Teleportation Circle and returned to Mount Olympus. 

He needed to research… he didn't know anyone other than Sirzechs Lucifer who could do this but it was also impossible for Sirzechs Lucifer to do this… there were various beings mentioned in the ancient texts left behind by his father Kronos… 

Zeus has never paid much attention to them as he had more important things at hand… namely women. He rushed into his personal library and cracked open the oldest book in his library… It was something written by his father Kronos. 

He needed to know who was responsible for erasing Fates, someone strong enough to do that could erase their whole Pantheon… all of a sudden, Zeus froze when he remembered the appearance of a strong being in Japan…
