Chapter 2 - Incarnation of Death

I can't believe these fools are managing to push me back. And they even captured the hunters with obvious ease which shouldn't be

possible even for this many demigods. Well unless they're not demigods, but instead warriors from a different pantheon. Though, I have no recollection of what pantheon has mortals capable of taking arrows from hunters with no damage. Actually, I have no idea where they came from either. A month ago they just

appeared inside a shadowy domain that just appeared from nowhere in an instant.

 At first we had the hunters do reconnaissance, which was a grueling task because light seemed to be immediately covered by the dark, but they managed. There was nothing but shadows and a ominous temple. This didn't last long though soon a God appeared accompanied with minor deities and soldiers within this domain. This understandably scared my father Zeus into sending my hunters and a few demigods to capture and question these people. Which they didn't take kindly to so they resisted and

over the course of a month we've been fighting, but we couldn't manage to capture or kill a single one. And at one point my father furious with the situation decided to try to smite the entire area but the Armored goddess

appeared negated the attack with her own. This led to where I am now furiously

fighting said goddess who is apparently not even the leader of these intruders instead it's an insolent man who would dare refer to me as a supposed goddess while he himself holds no presence. How can this insolent mortal look down on me while exuding no presence. And why would this goddess let a mortal man such as him lead her and these people. So I'll defeat her and smite this foolish man and take this little clan into questioning after squashing their feeble power.

 Wow, that question must of really pissed her off because she used her transformation

which made her quite bright to say the least. But that isn't going to be nearly enough to defeat saint. At least I think there's something off about this saint. She has a domain but why isn't she using it. Then there's the fact she

has a domain. How is that possible? Saints may nascent domain but full a blown one that shouldn't be possible and even then she is simply to weak to be a supreme otherwise saint wouldn't be pushing her back with darkness. Whilst pondering this the goddess directed her fury at the curious supreme and sent four divine arrows flying at his face. But something incredulous happened they

flew through the insolent man and destroyed the many trees behind him. How, rude of you Ms. Goddess didn't your mother teach you not to fire arrows at random shadows? The hateful goddess was further irritated, but before she could attack the onyx saint punished her for looking away from their fight. By cutting into her arm tearing it off.

With a grimace Artemis realizes that insolent mortal was the god of this domain. When he let

his guard down and let those arrows pierce his shadow she was able to feel some of the vastness of his shadow. I can't win was the conclusion she came to. Not only is this goddess just as strong as me or stronger that man is at least as strong as said goddess. While Artemis is struggling to come up with a way to save herself and the hunter, the elegant goddess disappears into the darkness and reappeared to slice deep into her arm. Wincing Artemis try's to flee back only for the

stone goddess to appear beside her and stab deep into her abdomen. And in the next

moment shadows started to wrap her being completely immobilizing the moon goddess.

Well, that was interesting, don't you think Ms. Goddess? Release me you disgusting fiend Artemis shouts back with intense loathing. No, I don't think I will, a grin forming on the devious sovereign's face as the

shadows grow deeper and the world seems to twist. How about you tell me why you and your hunters were trying to harm my subordinates, if you have a good reason I promise won't kill and your hunters, a shadow forms and looms above her head. This act causes Artemis to inwardly shiver, because his presence alone is starting to twist the very world around them. Swallowing her pride she admitted her father had ordered her to capture and interrogate those who appeared in the shadows. After pondering those words he came to the conclusion of that was completely fair and with those words Artemis's constraints broke and the hunters were all instantly sitting right beside Artemis, but sunny still had something he wanted. So a greedy gleam in his eyes he stated in return for your freedom tell me about the gods of this world.

So this is an alternate earth that's 200 years behind my own. Interesting but how did that abomination even transport us here. This is beyond just cutting threw space and time but then again the spell can do that to. But the spell is forged by the Daemon of Fate not some measly cursed beast. Also it seems the gods here are a lot less powerful or the gods of my world are just absurd. Damnation this makes no sense. Hey Artemis are there gods beyond you and the Olympians in power? Yes, but why do you ask slightly scared this random outsider might challenge a primordial for the rule over the entirety of the Greek pantheon. What are the strongest of them capable of? Perplexed Artemis still answered. Well there is chaos who is said to have created the entire cosmos and everything in it. Oh that was suprisingly easy, we're most likely in a void being or something similar either way it's reminiscent of the gods that he knows of. But I don't think I'll be mentioning thar. Anyways thanks for answering my questions Artemis so as a act of generosity from the most truthful shadow of three worlds I'll answer three of your questions.

How frustrating I'm completely at the mercy of this indecent scoundrel, well whatever I can plan on a way to get this fool back later no one treats me and my hunters like weak little children. But let's first focus on completing this mission and reporting back to father. What is your intentions towards Olympus and its children? Sunny smirked, well that's easy it's nothing we just need a place to stay till me and my clan finds a pathway home or find the abominable thing that sent us here. What else would you like to ask you only have two left. What a irksome man counting down my question like wishes. What sent you here? A cursed beast a god who fell onto the path of the profane ,but don't worry I could easily kill the thing if it were to appear in this world, only one left make the best of this next wish the treacherous man states. What domains do you rule over. Well isn't that easy I am the Lord of Shadows and the Sovereign of Death sunless states with a casual grin. How? That shouldn't be possible otherwise Thanatos would of appeared to face this man the moment he appeared, but before the goddess could ponder further he continued speaking. My body is death and anything that I kill rests within in me that is my domain, I am the realm of Death. I see that explains it while Thanatos simple delivers souls to the afterlife, this man is the afterlife, death incarnate in the form of a loathsome shadow.

(Btw the minor deities are masters because some lesser gods in poj are just straight victims)
