Chapter 2

rod shouted downstairs to hurry up and pack their bags and hurried back to finish packing.

Rod didn’t change much and just chose to wear jogging pants and a shirt. They were ready after a few minutes and gone out to the airport where more soldiers were waiting and a helicopter. They then got on the helicopter where a private terminal awaited rod.

Rod then explained everything after taking off. He explained to both presidents, except that he was a candidate for another god.

“you really need to see a doctor son, and I have some of my doctors come there to assess with the situation. US president said doubting rods words

“dad, do you believe everything that i say? Rod says over the mic of his helmet while facing his dad

“yes son. I believe. But this is too sudden and too unreal.” Henry said as he shook his head out of disbelief.

“better adapt fast dad, because it is going to get more bumpy by the second. I feel that this is only the start.” Rod said as he looked at the floor.

They then arrived at an airbase where there was a car waiting for them. they then checked in to a hotel where rod hurried to a bed to claim to go to sleep, brushing off his parents from their concerns. he then closed his eyes to go to the borderline.

As he got there, the fighting that he saw was very intense. Every god was on the offensive except the evil gods. He was in the middle of a hill where around him was many reptilians fighting against the angels.

As the fight of the gods were being put on the line, He then gone over to the other side to negotiate.

“Hey Lucifer, why are you guys not helping?” rod said after he approached lucifer in his gigantic form which was staring at their fight.

“the enemy of my enemy is my friend thing right? Sorry but were rather quite busy here.” Lucifer said as he grilled a damned soul in hell fire

“do you want the human race to die? You wont have anything to feed on once they are gone.”

Rod tries to convince them but the demons are just staying still as the reptilians will not go over to their side.

Satan. “its too bothersome to even take them on and besides, they are not coming here.” He said while lying down at the side being lazy.

“let us make a deal then.” Rod said as he faces lucifer. “I wage all my knowledge to all the gods, except the reptilian gods, and you will fight alongside the good gods to save the human race.“

Hades “hmm.. a deal.. sounds tasty.. let me in on this one.” He said as he grabs rods shoulder in his human size. Osiris and loki was also beside hades greeting him with a bow.

“Osiris, satan, Beelzebub, Lucifer, would you agree then?” rod said as he examines everyone that was present.

“show us your knowledge then.” Osiris said as he gestured to rod.

Rod then touched his head and said “copy knowledge and paste to all gods of humanity”.

They all then felt the knowledge rush in, both good and evil. As the knowledge that he accumulated over the years were being copied.

“this is already nothing new to what we already know, except the science parts.” Hades

“let me also share with you what science has brought for humanity.” Rod said with a confident smile.

Rod then copied from his long term memory of all the movies and animes that he has seen in his life. As well as imagining every bit of science that man has accomplished from his memories and to the best of his knowledge.

With learning all of that, they all then agreed to the deal and shook his hand

Now all the good and evil gods of humanity fought over the cannibalistic gods of the other universe. Rod with the evil gods then jumped to the skies where the battle of the gods are being held.

"why are they helping now?" zeus said as he noticed rod with the evil gods

"i made a deal with--" rod

"what?!" all good gods said as they fought the cannibal gods

"that explains the behaviour of athena. " aries said as he kicked a reptillian god

athena was swinging her sword when she sweated a lot, almost fainting where aries had to butt in and catch her.

“im so very sorry Athena! It was the only thing that I could do! You all are outmatched.” Rod said as he examines every reptilian god with the gods

“yes, I believe your right. I will believe you for now.” Athena said as she stood up

On the ground, there are angels battling against a barbaric reptillian army when the devils came from behind to slay the reptillians.

"saint michael. They are here to fight along side us!" rod said as he views the situation on the ground.

Saint michael then flew towards them "what?! Why?" he only flew to the gods to assess the situation when he heard that the devils are helping.

"angel, i have made a deal with this young man and we are all here to defend humanity! Be glad that i am here fools!" lucifer said as he plunged his sword into a reptillian god. He then tasted the blood "their blood is foul. I dont need this blood!"

"then were glad we can fight along side! They must have foul taste as well!" satan said as he did martial arts against a reptillian god

"what do you ever gain from all this devils! You wont be like this for no reason!" saint michael said as he saw the devils closing on the angel army and while he slayed a flying reptile

"its just simple you fool!" beelzebub said as she whipped another reptillian female god "they wont even feel pleasure with this! How absurd!"

Hades then got near with his chariot throwing blue flames "gosh my flames are having no effect with these lizards! Rod my boy here shared with us a very important fact!"

"that without the humans, we cant also live and feed! And with his knowledge on all his anime and science, the world still has more to offer for all of us!" osiris said as he shot arrows on his chariot on the reptillian gods

"gosh" athena said as she sliced another one to half "and we were doing a great job at hiding that fact from them.”

"its strategically sound as that is all that hes got. " aries said as he shielded himself

Rod then put on his iron suit. "saint michael, i would like to say to trust me for now. "

"we shall deal with this later but right now, we trust you." saint michael said as he turned his back to descend to his men.

"here we go guys!" rod said as they all nodded and dispursed.

There were so many reptillians that even thor and odin had a very hard time dealing with their situation.

"odin! Do you not use the destroyer armor for just this time?" rod said as he flew to them and blasted the reptillian with a particle gun

"no boy. Because my other son." he stabbed another reptillian "loki is using it in the other end"

" i see. Care for some help?" rod said as he draws a light saber from his sides.

"gladly!” Thor said as he thunders multiple enemies.

While Poseidon in his gigantic form is also helping with the ground troops along with hermes, the rest fought intensely in the sky.

Hermes then encountered the reptilian god of fog in the battlefield where it disintegrated every soldier on the battlefield, injuring every soldier including their own. As hermes which was in his human size also commands the wind, he then readies a typhoon as it approaches.

The fog god, as it is only a reptile face around a fog and tremendous in size, it almost had no openings. So hermes then directed the typhoon to it, sucking it in the vortex where it just roams around. The best that hermes could do was trap the fog god in the typhoon as he readies his shield to protect himself against sudden approaches from it, melting his shield bit by bit.

Poseidon drowns every reptile in the water bubble he created and throws his trident which roams obeys his will and travels along the water. But as Poseidon does this, he was met with their god of waters, running and closing in on Poseidon.

The reptilian god of water controls no water and is reptile in form.

He then let out a tsunami and throws his trident to the reptilian… but misses. The reptilian swam on the tidle wave being made and Poseidon readies himself for hand to hand combat.

The approach was fast as the reptile swam towards Poseidon and he grabs its mouth, like wrestling a crocodile. The battle was fierce as the reptile was versatile and a bit slippery making capture almost impossible and interlocking moves are almost all insufficient as it also injures Poseidon with its claws.

Poseidon also had no choice but to put on his armor.

“argh! Come at me monster!” Poseidon said as the reptile swam around Poseidon on the water, taunting him before closing in once more to lock on close quarters combat.

Zeus was presented in the sky with the reptilian’s god of thunder where they battled with lightning and fire. The god of thunder was a reptile in shape with the head of an octopus but is made of pure thunder.

Zeus dodges every thunderbolt being thrown by the reptilian and locks himself with hand to hand close combat, thundering the skies with every punch and kick. The battle was intense as thunder and lightning was all over the place, making any other god almost impossible to go near.

All the evil gods and gods of the underworld are all facing the reptilian god of darkness which had engulfed them in darkness, making them unable to see. The god of darkness was made out of pure darkness where it also has a reptilian form with an octopus head.

Then for the first time, Lucifer, satan, and beel had to work together to release their own darkness to counter its power.

Hades and Osiris both got separated but they both released their full power with hades throwing blue fire all over the place and Osiris releasing black fog, bringing death to whomever shall come close. The 3-combined arch-demons, while releasing darkness, also had to look for the reptilian as they throw devil forks and spears everywhere.

Rod was then alone in a corner where he encountered the reptilian god of cloud where it released a typhoon against him. The god of cloud was also reptilian in form and with an octopus head, though it has clouds all around it making it hard to spot. It was also made of pure gas where almost any sort of capture almost impossible.

With his imagination breaker, he then imagined to control the hurricane that was thrown to him along with thunder and hail. Rod was unable to bring out any other weapon as it was ineffective against nature and continued his attack against the storm.

Rod then flew into the eye of the storm with his shield and dodging every attack and approached a reptilian figure and threw a punch. But the reptilian disappeared when he punched it.

so with his third eye, he finds the location of the storm god by instinct and his divinity powers for protection. And once more, his fight was intense as he is unable to either capture or injure the cloud god.

As aries sliced through a reptilian and was done with other lesser reptilian gods in his area. He then gone down into the battlefield where he encountered a gigantic reptile that the angels were unable to take down.

With his mace, he descends fast, slamming his mace towards the reptile which made an aftershock sending both angels and demons afar.

Unfortunately, the reptilian catched the mace where aries then backed off and started to attack once more. The reptilian god also countered almost every move that aries made where he had no choice but to use every weapon in his disposal. he backs up for a while to have numerous weapons appear behind his back.

The reptilian god of blood was more huge than aries with its reptile body and crocodile mouth.

As he shows every weapon in his treasury, the reptile also appeared with a metal claw in both hands along with a giant blade along its arms. Along with its crocodile mouth, the reptilian was a hard opponent to beat. “no better opponent to meet with a god of war!” aries shouted as he got a weapn from his treasury and smiled as he closed in on the reptilian god.

Apollo also had to face his equal where him in his chariot shooting arrows of fire and the reptilian god of sun where its literally burning up. The reptilian god of the sun was literally a reptile made of fire.

with his fire bow, the attacks were all ineffective so Apollo then approaches it with his fire sword. There they lock in on a close quarters battle where intense fires fired up the background around them.

It was now a battle of endurance for both of them as sparks of fire was chipped off with every attack, punch, and kick.

Hephestus was busy making weapons inside his workshop to support the gods when a reptilian god broke his defences. It was the reptilian god of lava, just like the lava titan that they locked up, it was made of pure lava with a reptile body.

hephestus had no choice but fight, so picking up his giant hammer, he starts pounding the lava god. Like the battle of Apollo, with every of hephestus smash, the lava god scrapes away some lava.

As hephestus also commands fire and lava, he smashes the ground making a ground breaker of lava heading towards the lava god. The lava god also took damage against the attack where it counters with throwing lava into him.

As the lava god is also slow to walk, hephestus takes his time dodging every long distance attack and attacking himself with every hammer strike. Sometimes, the lava god could block the hammer where hephestus had to punch or kick the reptilian, injuring himself in the process from its claws.

Athena is also in the battlefield commanding the armies when the god of ice came near. She then left command to hera andWith her sword and shield on hand, she readies herself when thor then arrived, covering her way.

“dear Athena, let me handle this one.” Thor said while swinging his hammer on one side.

“what if you cant handle it? And you might need my help with this.” Athena

“if you want. Though i will be going ahead of you to counter that ice giant.” Thor said as he flew away, thundering his way to the ice god.

The ice god then threw an ice breath on thor where he had trouble shielding himself. Athena then joins the fray and sliced its head.

“let me help you. You are no match for this god yourself thor.” Athena said as she flew to thors side.

“alright then. I appreciate the help but who will command the army?”

“i had saint Michael do it. Anyways, lets focus on its next move.”

They then saw the ice god regrow its head as it is made out of pure ice.

“aye. Lets.” Thor then swings his hammer and flies towards the ice god. Athena followed suit where thor pounded the ice gods face and Athena sliced more of its ice.

Athena tries to petrify it with her medusa shield but was going well for a while. The ice god just got the petrified ice off as if it’s a second skin.

“lets not rely on the shield my lady.” Thor said as he pounded the ice god.

“agreed.”

Odin goes against the reptilian rock god where its made out of pure rock and is shaped like a crocodile.

Together with odin’s spear, he blasts away rock around the rock god. “this is going nowhere!” odin said as the rock god also throws stone and rocks on odin which he evades quickly.

Then loki appeared, the god of trickery and darkness, with him the destroyer armor of lore.

“let me help you with this father.” As he appeared behind odin

“loki! Glad to have your help son!” odin said as he was wrestling with the rock god

“don’t misunderstand. I am not your son and this is all for the fate of the human race.” Loki said as he threw magic blasts onto the rock god

“yes yes. But what brings you here then? Are you done with your—“

Then the rock god blasted itself, throwing rocks at them. They then shielded themselves from the attack and saw a reptilian controlling the rocks.

“those are just small fry. I want to take on the big fish.” loki

“well then, lets now work together on this.” Odin said as he charged towards the rock god

“oh well. Lets battle rock demon!” loki said as he threw magic blasts.

The rock god was tough as even though its slow, all earth around it was his to control.

Loki also had no choice but to also go in close combat along with odin. With loki in the destroyer armor, odin and loki blasts away the rocks that surround the rock god and capturing the reptilian. They then knocked it out of its senses where loki imprisons it with his magic.

“i will go help zeus or the other gods with their fight, you help the boy loki.” Odin said being satisfied with loki

“we made a deal anyways and im here so why not.” Loki

They then dispersed where odin helps Poseidon with the water god and loki with rod.

Rod was holding out but the fight was a stalemate as he was only able to control the weather where his opponent is the weather itself. He also tries to slay the main reptilian body of the storm but wasn’t able to. Then loki appeared so protect his back.

A surprise attach suddenly came towards rod when the lightning bolt struck lokis armor to protect rod from it “need a hand child?”

“yes, that would be great!” rod said as he absorbs all the lightning bolts that hit them.

“but judging by the nature of this storm, I think that you already got a counter measure. Though leave this to me.” Loki then raised his staff to release his magic to enact a mystic prison for the storm.

“I think that this is all bottled up.” Rod said with a smile

“haha. Lets get back to work shall we? You go help zeus while I go help my old man.”

“got it. “ rod then flew away towards seuz with the thunder god.

Rod then emitted gravity around himself as he passed through the storm of thunder blasting all around. Rod then imagined a giant battery and a lightning rod to suck up the thunder god as it is made out of pure thunder. Then loki approached from behind rod.

“what do I get from all this child?” loki

“like they said. If humanity is done for, then you are also done for. “ rod said as he holds the lightning rod towards the thunder god to trap it in the battery.

“correct. But what else?”

“fame, glory, etc.” rod said as he traps the thunder god to the battery

“loki! Stop fooling around and imprison the reptile!” zeus said as he exchange punches with the thunder god

“your all no fun at all. I was testing his wisdom if he would be able to pass my standards.”loki then rasied his staff to imprison the thunder god who was weakened further by zeus

“go help the others! I will catch up!” loki

“alright then.” Rod said as he flew away

He then flew towards hermes who was handling the fog god “hey hermes. You need some help?”

“yes please.. like…. Right now!” as hermes said while he was still shielding himself from the fog.

At the top of the hurricane, rod then imagined a vacuum cleaner to suck up the fog god.

Loki then catched up holding about 3 balls in his hand. One was colored brown for the rock god, another was yellow for the thunder god, another blue for the water god and another gray for the storm god.

“give me the container once you are done child!” loki said as he raised his staff aiming at the container

“give me one more minute… maybe!” as rod aimed steady at the rest of the fog while flying

A few minutes later, they were able to capture the fog god.

They made a high five and gone to hephestus where he is still hammering away with the lava god with its never ending amount of lava. Loki was about to raise his staff.

“wait, I got a better idea. “ rod said as he touched the shoulder of loki

Rod then imagined a titanic cauldron and picked up the lava god where he then headed straight for the ice god. He poured the lava god towards the ice god where they bumped into each other releasing a cloud of smoke.

“now loki!” rod

“your really a slave driver you know that.” Loki said as he raised his staff towards both ice and lava gods.

“im just thinking of the best odds loki.”

“but I don’t hate it at least.” Loki said while he aimed steady on both lava and ice gods.

Loki then released his imprison magic on both ice and lava gods after a few seconds when both gods were at their weakest.

“hey loki, how are you also checking on their powers?” rod said while they were flying away and towards the farthest reaches of the battlefield.

In the distance, they saw ulak, vegan, and gigan still battling against the sand god. A reptilian god made out of pure sand where it has a form of a reptile with an octopus head.

Gigan, which was colossal in size, kept hitting the sand god to no avail.

Vegan, fighting on the ground, let out his ice breath where it froze the sand but not all of the sand. Vegan then enclose himself in a shield of ice where sand is trying to pierce through the ice.

Ulak spit out his fire breath while flying to no avail. Which was then followed by throwing fireballs at the sand that was chasing him down in the air.

“im sucking up all their powers. Though nothing would even beat hyawei and that black god they got.” As loki also pointed upwards

Rod then looked up and saw hyawei in an intergalactic proportions of a battle with the reptilian universe god.

“I will worry about that later but for now, lets get the last ones.”

“you don’t command me with the obvious child! Lets us go now!” loki

They then flew towards the fight with the sand god as loki casts his magic to entrap the sand. But as there were too much sand, the sand just overflows from his imprisonment spell.

“child, please help! I cant contain this bastard no matter what.” Loki said as he was struggling

“alright then.” He then faces the 3 gods. “guys! Please form a giant container for the sand!” rod said as he formed an energy shield around himself while coming near the 3 gods.

“back off for now gigan, we got work to do. “ vegan

Gigan backs off the battle when rod lifts up all the earth around 300meters. Ulak then got to the bottom of the lifted earth to release lava upwards while vegan cools the lava, forming colossal bowl.

Rod then lets go of the earth. “now loki!”

“got it” loki said as he points his staff onto the colossal bowl and trapping the sand god.

They then flew towards both sun gods as they battle it out in a battle for endurance.

Rod then imagines a ball of water but then, Poseidon threw a pillar of water straight to both sun gods trapping both of them in between. Loki then casted his magic to imprison the reptilian sun god.

“I thought that—“

“im going to cheat? Me with all this power in my hands? No. though im almost at my limit as well child.” loki

“I see. Then lets get the last one then. “ rod

Rod then flew towards aries in their battle with the blood god whom both are injured all over.
“let me help aries.” Rod said as he interrupted the battle with a kick on the reptile’s face

“no boy! Leave me alone with my fun!” aries then grabs the back of his neck and threw him towards the darkness where he met Osiris also with some of the demon spears.

“glad you’re here boy. Please help us with this. At this rate, both me and hades wont last against all the demons spears.” Osiris said as he then let out another dark fog around the place to protect himself

“sure. I got an idea but you and hades might want to get out of here.” rod said as he pointed his thumb backwards.

“roger that.” Osiris said as he headed straight for hades

Rod then headed straight for the devils who are still throwing devils spears all over the place.

“come on out and fight like a god you bastard!” the 3 combined devils said as they grew impatient.

“let me help you with that.” rod said as he nears the devils

“back off! Your disturbing my fight!” lucifer said as he threw another spear

“your almost at your limit guys! Let me help!” rod then sensed a presence upward then let out a glow of light around himself

“that’s it! Boy, help us with this one.” Satan said as he couldnt stand anymore

“wha-“ lucifer

“yes boy. Bring out the light.” Beel

“decision overruled huh. Well then, don’t disappoint me boy.” Lucifer finally agrees angrily

The combined demons were still throwing spears on all sides when rod let out a very bright light.

“sunlight!” rod shouts and shines as bright as the sun.

The dark god was then shown shivering in pain and burned by the sunlight and loki then captures it.

“good job there rod. Now all I need is compl—“ then loki almost fainted at the pure power all the captured gods

Zeus then appeared “quickly guys!”

Then all gods except aries appeared around loki and fired energy towards the captured reptilian gods in lokis hands.

“let go of them brother so that you may live!” thor

“hes right son! They are maybe feeding off your energy as well!” odin

“how can you be sure?! All this power at the palm—“ loki while holding on to the captured gods which were now imprisoned in small balls at the palm of his hand

“your slowly fading away as well loki. “ rod said as he used energy scan on loki

“argh!” loki then gathered the 9 balls in his hands into the center as he could not take anymore.

then all the gods except aries released energy to contain the captured gods.

“what do we do with them now?” said Hercules as he flew from the battlefield on the ground

“ these gods are too barbaric and lacks the utmost delicacy of battle. I think we should destroy them!” Aries said as he dragged the blood god towards the other captured gods and lets out energy himself

“hey! I got a great idea.” Rod said as he nears zeus

zeus “you thinking what im thinking boy?”

“of course!” all the other gods confirmed.

All of them. “let us just destroy their specie to build a new one!”

Gaia then appeared. “Do not worry. I now have a comet set straight for their planet. “

‘it will take more than a comet to destroy them.” Said rod

“your right young one. Let me also add some weather into the mix.”

“agreed!” all the gods confirmed

Rod then flies towards hyawei in his intergalactic form. He then imagined himself in the size more than a galaxy, just like hyawei.

“what are you doing here my boy?” hyaweisaid as he was in a wrestling match with the reptilian universal god

“I came to help.” Rod said as he punched the universal god

There was no time to reply as the universal god let out an energy wave. Both then shielded themselves where they were pushed back.

Rod then ran towards the universal god. The universal god was about to scratch him but rod responded with a judo flip. Hyawei then responded with a drop kick to the neck where it rolled to the side with its tail whipping towards hyawei.

Rod responded with a shield protecting both while being pushed to the far side themselves. Rod then ran again towards the universal god and shielded himself from his scratches.

There was no way to respond with just physical attacks so rod thought to change his sword to a light saber where it finally worked.

First he cut the gods arms and pushed it towards hyawei. Hyawei then responded with a kick to the face where the universal god plummeted to the ground. But hyaweihas his arm injured from another tail whip when he kicked the face.

“when are you going to capture that god rod?!” loki shouted where both heard

“let us capture it now son.” Hyawei

“lets!” rod said as he ran once more towards the universal god.

The universal god then ducked as rod attacked him with his sword countering with a tail whip. Rod shielded himself while hyawei caught the tail and twisted it, stomping at the universal god.

Hyawei then instead grabbed the tail and swirled it around to throw it sky high. Rod then readies an energy net where the universal god was then captured as it fell. Hyawei then let out an energy beam himself.

“you should go now my boy.” Gaia said as she flew towards rod

“leave this now to us. You should go now.”

“alright then. “rod

Rod then opened his eyes to find his bed wet. He was sweating badly on even as the aircon was very cold and his family now has went to sleep. After that, he still went to sleep.

On the next day, he was being called by the UN to state his issue. On a meeting with all the heads of state, he was then briefed of the situation where he did not realize that the earth had shook and there was an earthquake, a tsunami and a typhoon going on all over the globe while he was at it.

On a big white room with monitors and a laptop where it showed the faces of the world leaders.

“what?! That happened while i was in a trance?”

“yes. And it all stopped after a few hours. “

“Is there any scientific explanation as to why this is happening?!”

Rod “no, there is not. Im afraid that there are forces in this universe that science still cantyet understand.”

His boss then went on the screen” im so very sorry this has happened to you. I only meant for a little bit but i trusted them all too much. They even said that since you were half, you would have some richest buried somewhere”

The boss, also known as bruce rogers, was in his fifties as well. He is also the manager of the account that rod was in in the company.

“no boss. I may be half but as per documents say, im poor. And this is also what all us halfs have to endure everytime.”

“really?” said all the presidents. As they murmured amongst themselves.

“Anyways, the crisis is averted but the remaining issue is still at hand. They are still going to invade our planet. “

“yes, we all saw that there was an unidentified object that flew right above the clouds of your home town. They might be curious as to what we are looking at our satellites.” The US president then leaned forward brushing the bruce off to the side.

“true, they are. And its high time to unite and unite our sciences to reach space!”

The presidents on the other side of the screen and their generals discussing something in their local language.

“like its that simple.”

“if it were that easy, we would have united long ago.”

“we can take care of ourselves thank you, but more importantly, can you explain what happened on the skies on your home town? There was a large flame throw flying upward where there were nothing on the sky that indicated where it came from?” said the queen.

They were then shown of satellite images of fire coming out of thin air 3,000 meters up in the sky.

“It was supposed to be confidential, but by that time, other countries snooping around also caught a glimpse of it which is why I invited them all to the meeting.” US president

All the presidents agreed and was now paying attention to rod.

“that was me practicing.”

“what?! “

“didn’t he tell you that he had a divine shield around him, which is why he can’t see the outcome of his own powers. “ saiddutuer

“they said the range of the shield is through the skies, as I might lose control over my powers and hurt myself or hurt everybody else in the process. “ rod explained

“tell me boy, are you still human?” said the Russian president

“yes sir. As they told me, this is the evolution of mankind—“

Rod was then passed out in the middle of the meeting. After a few minutes, he woke up and found Aries in front of him, where they still can’t see the gods except rod. Athena also appeared, both gods all serious.

“young one, we have decided.”

“hey boy, tell me whats happening!” said the American president

“quiet please all, since they are here. “ rod said as he gestured to silence everyone in the room

They then focused their satellites on their place but was unable to see as due to the signal blockers being placed all over the place.

“let us continue this outside people, where our satellites can see him with the little lights around him”

“yes, lets” said all the presidents.

“okay. Let us move to the gardens people.” dutuer

They then moved towards the gardens. But along the way, Athena explained to rod whats happening.

“rod, just listen to us and don’t answer.”

Rod nodded

“We are only here for you to prove to them our existence and after that, we will be gone.“ Athena said as they float on rods shoulders

“anyways.” Said aries“ we can’t hold the barbaric gods much longer. Though we also have reached an agreement to take away the mutant gene in all of mankind’s DNA. This was the conclusion we have reached, including with the alien gods, and we will take this away overnight.“

“though we have already gone ahead and took yours away so that there would be nothing that they can do to you. The only thing left would be your third eye.” Athena

They were walking in the halls of the Malacanang where they were all accompanied by generals and the presidential guards.

“hades said he won’t take away your third eye as you have earned his respect.“athena said and as she also added something along the way as he listened.

“and from the knowledge that you have given us, humanity still hasn’t changed at all, instead they leveled up. Though the wonders that a human can bring to this world, we will bet on that.“aries

“by the way, whats that big notebook your always holding?” said the president dutuer

“designs for the new world.”

“show it to me”

Rod then gave the notebook and finished his discussion with the gods as they were still going to the garden.

“and the dangers that man possesses to their own when one will possess that kind of power, we would never let you in harms way after all that you have done for us as well.” athena

Rod then nodded as if saying thank you. “we still haven’t dispersed your shield yet as there might be other entities who would try to hurt you. You haven’t mastered your third eye yet which is why we left the shield to you“ said Athena.

They then arrived in the garden and their satellites then zoomed in on Rod. They saw 2 ball of lights beside him using spectral analysis.

as they were still setting up the screens on the garden.

“can you now show us your powers boy.”

“no, since—“

“what? You said you have mutant powers!” said swan lee, which was right beside the American president

“swan lee?” rod said

“yes son, i invited him as well. Now get back to your seat mr lee.” American president

“im a big fan. Can I get an autograph? After we meet?

“your not meeting him…. And you can stand behind me.” Pointing at swan lee “ Gosh for Christ sake… Better watch him.” As the US president orders his guards to guard him

“yes sir!” the generals and secret service said as swan snuck behind the president

“On with the topic, can you clarify as to why you have no powers now?”American president

Presidents nodded

“we better go now. They wont hold much longer.” Athena said as they disappeared

“what happened to them? Those balls of light?” they all saw their screens with him without the lights.

Rod then explained to them about his situation and what happened during the battle of the gods.

“if that is true, then there is no time to waste. Let us all hurry with our space programs! General, call NASA! Were going overdrive!” American president

All presidents nodded but before they logged out “you better be right about this kid. “ warns the american president

“as i have told you, that is the story. “

“alright then. Thats all i need to hear.. “ the other presidents nodded in agreement

“wait!” said rod when most of the presidents then logged out either out of ridicule or to prepare their country.

“there they have gone” then appears Lucifer as suddenly a black light shows beside rod on their monitors.

“with this, you wont always go hungry right Lucifer? “

“yes child. And i have come to relay a message to you. We will still be monitoring you and humanity as we go on here with our jobs.. whew! We are so busy up there trying to sabotage the barbarians planet.”

“so you came with gaia to sabotage their planet right?” rod said with a smile

“yes, only me… anyways, I better go while the fun still lasts.” Lucifer said before he disappeared

“what was that?”

“That was Lucifer. “ rod said.

“wha?—“

“anyways, let us think of the future. Gentlemen and ladies, if you would take a look at this notebook as we will scan his designs and tell us what you think.” President dutuer

“hmm.. let us see then, i am now curious as to what is this you are speaking. But back to the topic, how are we suppose to fend ourselves from this alien invasion? “

“its clearly obvious that by arming ourselves, we can defend from those aliens. “ queen

“This specie is reptilian in nature am i right? So we just have to hunt them down. Or capture them with our weapons.” Australian president

“thats right. As i calculated, our current civilization is more than enough. Though with a little more improvement, we can certainly protect ourselves.” Rod said

“is that true?” the American president came back.

“yes mr president. But you may want to also consider my designs as well if you want. Our current world is more than enough already. We have scientists and scholars who are ready to serve each nation.”

Dutuer “well then. After a few more minutes and you will see his designs and ---“

“but i warn you all. Some of these designs are a bit dangerous. Please take heed in what you will be making.” Rod warns everyone

Rods parents were only just watching as the meeting took place. No matter how they want to help him now, only he can help himself with the current situation.

His mom also really wants to pinch him right now but in holding back the urge to do so.

“what do you take us for? We know what we are doing! We don’t need your stupid designs! As you said, we certainly have enough scientists and scholars. I will get one from here.”

“he is right. I will also make myself scarce for now. Please don’t send it to me since i will also go about and do as what he did.”

“please also include every design in my notebook. And to let you know, those designs which are just like drawings, are puzzles for every scientist to solve.” rod

“what? A puzzle? Just how did you ever have the time to make puzzles? And we did not raise you like this!” henry said

“no, but desperate times calls for desperate measures. I couldn’t even believe it as well but i made these designs along with the help of the heroes of our time. “

“heroes?!”

“yes. The spirits of heroes.”

“i have enough of this! Are you trying to mess with us kid?! Is the Philippines really up for war?!”

“please calm down mr president. Please. we mean no harm . “ henry said as hillaryfinally pinches rod

“let me take care of this now. Since this is now a job for politics. “ dutuer said as he neared the family.

They all agreed but after that, his sister then sprinted towards them asking what on earth is happening to them. Dad explained to her and calmed her down as she also wanted a word with the American who did all this to them.

“oh yeah, mr dutuer.. what will happen to the boss now?” rod said while he was being lectured by his mother.

“he will be sent to jail for his crime by the military, though for a short period of time .” the american president

“the company will also suffer a lot of losses after i am done with them. Now go along and i will call you on what will now happen to you."

"ok. Mr president" said dad as he is still explaining the situation and getting away from the garden with the family.

The next day in the morning, the family had gone to the government building again as they were summoned once more.

"politics is really tiring" dutuer said as he leans back in his chair in his office.

In his office withFilipino style architecture where yellow lights shines around the place for a relaxing ambience. The president then gestured for the family to take a seat in one of the chairs.

"what will now happen to us mr president?" asked henry as he seated in one of the guest seats

"for now, you guys will be under our protection or the governments protection.” Dutuer then faces rod “But rod is always coming with me from now on since the cause of all this. "

"that is good to hear but why only rod who will go with you?"june

June mason, in her twenties and is a medical student in a university.

"listen closely.. alright?” he then examines everyone in the room“For now, everything is safe and the boss is sent to jail. Those co-workers of his are being hunted down by the military and being sent to jail, of course with a trial at hand. Things are now a bit dicey as the parties that will believe him are only thin. at least ali rama and the pope are with us, along with japan. japan of course is only interested in his designs as they piqued some interest in them. whats left is communication with the gods, and thats where you come in rod."Dutuer said as he briefed the family in his office

"i see. So it has come to that. " rod said as he looked down to the floor

"dont be too concieted boy, because of your position i was able to persuade them."

"i dont think its that easy to contact them now. Since i gave away all my knowledge and everything"

"what?! Please explain to me in detail"

"every since i gave them all the knowledge that i have on humanity, they must be on guard now and not contacting me that easily so to protect me. "

"we cant have that boy. You will also be sent to trial you know, or else, there will be war. On who will own you."

"what? It shouldnt have been like that. What happ--" henry said being surprised from his seat

"its my fault. I kinda said something to them straight in their face and some presidents took it on face value as we are a third world country"

"so that is why. Then i might have an idea." Rod said as he now faced the president.

Hillary who remained quiet, then pinched rod again out of anger.

"im all ears, though this better be good boy"

"how about a competition between countries. "

"we already have that boy, our country is already competing in all competitions such as sports."

"how about singing" suddenly a whisper from the ear from aphrodite.

"whoa! You surprised me!" and she was then gone as rod faced to his shoulders.

"who surprised you boy?" dutuer said

"it was sudden so i didnt see anyone or anything. Except a whisper saying 'singing'"

"what would that mean?" dad said

"huh? A singing competition? We already have that." june

"no, lets make it an idol competition." said rod.

"hmm.. It would be worth the try.. Rather than a war, that is a better idea… and what is an idol?"dutuer said as he broads over to rod

"lets explain together along with the japanese president. I think he would understand much better on the topic."

"hmm.. Alright then.. Lets talk to the japanese president about this and hear his thoughts. Im trusting you on this boy.. "

"let me also come with you. Im concerned for my son" dad said

"no dad. We are going with you." june said as mom also nodded

"alright then. We all go only to talk with the japanese president." dutuer said

"yes sir." the family then stood up and gone with the president to the government building.

They make their way to the room again where they had the meeting previously. They then called the Japanese president via video call.

*ring*

"hello mr president"

"hello. To what i owe this call?"

"there has been a situation. Since rod gave all his knowledge of humanity to the gods, they wont just communicate with us."

"what? If they know about this, that boy will be--"

"i know. But let me put up a proposal."

"what is it?"

"an idol competition mr president" rod said

"what? You are now in a dire position and you are saying that this will stop a war?"

"yes, i think. By the way, whats an idol?" dutuer

"they are people who sing and dance and do many things more. Its kinda complicated but they also do modelling and stuff."

"much like being a star then"

"yes and no. Anyways, let us try. Though it will be tough convincing them. "

"please be advized to never put the presidents in a pinch alright?" said the secretary at the back of the president. "here are the documents from the scientists and engineers."

The Japanese president took a look at the pile of papers on his table and was astonished. "well done boy! You really have made yourself a proud son there as he just figured out a key to a new renewable energy. This is brilliant i might say but not genius level. And according to this, you can make an ironman suit and a gundam depending on the reactor size? "

"wow! You really have outdone yourself son!" dutuer said "though what is a gundam?"

"its a robot sir. "rod said

"with this, we might be able to help you boy. You have really helped humanity with this."

"becareful with that one mr president. One wrong move and it might affect others in ways that you wont expect.“

"what?! Its not in the papers right."Dutuer said as he faced the monitor

"me and the gods are now betting on humanity if they will use it for the good of humanity or not. And let me tell you, the devils do not have killing in their categories which is one part of why they helped the good gods in the war." Rod warns them

"watch your mouth boy!” dutuer

" Though he is right mr president. "Japanese president

Dutuer then thought of the implications of what his inventions might do for the country as it was a shame not to use it.

"The rest might be alright, though let us see…” the Japanese president was thinking“You really have gambled big."

"based on the situation, i had no other choice. And the gods also trust me with this. earlier, they told me that there are multiple futures for humanity. One wrong move and it might fall into the wrong path. "rod said

"really? " dutuer

"all the more now to make the decision. We must discuss this in private with everyone"

"yes, let us do that." both presidents agreed

the family then went out of the room as dutuer assured them that its his turn from here on."go back to the hotel for now or have them guard you when going shopping or something."

"yes sir" henry said

"how can we help the discussion sir?" rod said as he was being pushed out by his mom

"leave this to us boy. I hope your idea is as good" dutuer said

"i think its not my place to speak of this but pricking on their pride might do the job" rod said with a smile

"thats risky business there boy, but we will try as best as we can. " dutuer

"yes. Since politics is not as easy as it gets. We will then have another round of discussions" the Japanese president overheard the conversation by the door.

"can i have the authority to form an idol group?"

"hmm.. no.. it will just make the situation worse.. your situation is already bad as it is."

"i see." depressed.

"you can just let the boy enjoy his final moments before going to serious trials though, at least the idol group would benefit the country." Japanese president

"alright then. We will give you some money for compensation for the trouble caused. And if you can do this of course.” Dutuer said as he now faces rod with a serious face

"alright. Let me try before transferring management to another." Rod said while thinking of the responsibilities for this.

"please dont misunderstand. This is just temporary for you. And yes, I will allow you that for now. And if you are successful with the idol group, I will approve of them in our country."dutuer

"yes sir"

The family then go out of the room as they continue the meeting.

After a few hours of calling a selection of some female classmates that he is currently a recruiter for a model agency and he is recruiting them, they said they would think about it. his family also wanted to help as they cant go back yet to work since surrounding people are now questioning what happened to them.

They were still in their hotel room, still unable to go back to their house.

"how can we help son?" henry asked after rods call

"how about by contacting our family on who might be interested? And tell them that its to help me as a recruiter"

"alright then." his dad took the hint and got his idea.

"hey june. How do you feel about being an idol?"

"huh? Me? No way. Im too shy to be in an idol group." June said with the denial look while combing her hair

"its a group though. And you would do many things aside from--"

"no. I dont want to be a part of your plans."

"or at least help me recruit or train the girls."

"that i can do." as she picked up the phone and called all of her girl friends

"Alright then. Lets do this"
