Percy Jackson: The God of Magic - chapter 56 [ The Pranking Spark Reignites] (Patreon)

After debating with my friends, aka Hades, Hestia and Persephone, we came to the conclusion it was best for me to go to Asgard, for one Gods usually go to the underworld for various reasons and if one saw me they would… well, things would not end well for me, but in Asgard, I would be safe, out of Zeus’s grasp.

So, I teleported there, with my new power long-range teletransportation was easy, barely an inconvenience. Inside the hotel, I was soon greeted by a squad of Valkyries who tried to apprehend me; poor souls didn’t see the bitch slaps coming, oh well.

After knocking out every single warrior that stood in my way, I went to the gardens where Odin could usually be found chatting with his two crazy ravens. And like I had predicted, Odin was sitting on his usual spot, feeding his ravens.

“Adam, how was your time in Tartarus?” Odin greeted, not even looking at me, “An awful place, been there a couple of times for research purposes,”

“You knew?” I asked. I mean…. I knew he knew almost everything, but my question was more along the lines of, did he knew beforehand?

“Aye, I did… nasty business,” Odin nodded, “I foresaw your fall into the pit and tried to see if I could help you, but every time I intervened… the visions would change… and you would end up dying at the hands of Zeus, or Hermes, even a few times at the hands of your sister,” he sighed, “So I opted to let things play out, this way… you were destined to live… it was for the best I think,”

I was still processing the fact my sister would’ve killed me, “I… out of curiosity, does Apollo ever kills me?” it was a morbid…. And a somewhat self-harming question, but I wanted to know.

“Sun boy? Oh yeah, many times, the only constant in my visions was Hestia protecting you; in more than a few, I saw her fight against the gods for you, alas she was outnumbered and swiftly dealt with in each scenario,” I don’t know why, but even under the news my sister and brother would have not hesitated to kill me, I smiled… knowing that no matter what scenario, Hestia believed in me.

“I see,” I sighed.

“Interesting path you chose, eating the souls of the residents…” Odin hummed, rubbing his hands together, “It certainly increased your power by a big margin; I don’t think anything below a god could take you on now,”

“Well… to be honest, I expected to gain more power… considering the amount of souls I consumed, I expected more than what I have,” I stated, wondering how bad would this conversation sound to others.

“Oh, well, that’s because you suck at managing the vast amount of power you acquired, right now you are like a hose with hundreds of holes… in the end, you are not working as you should,” Odin turned to me, and smiled, “You are still operating your body as if it was mortal, so you instead of utilizing all the power you have… you are barely using a thirty percent of it, the rest is leaking of you,”

“I see,” It seems I was using my powers in the wrong way, which… was an expected result with my luck.

“Don’t beat yourself up with that,” Odin chuckled, “Considering you gained such amount of power in such short time, is easy to see why you can’t fully control it… even the Olympians had to train before defeating the titans,” he winked, standing from the chair, “Even I had to train before I became what I am today,”

“Zeus training,” I snorted, “If dipping his thunder in every wet cloud counts as training, then the man is a master,”

“Dipping his… hahahahaha,” Odin howled in laughter, stomping his feet into the ground, “Good to know you haven’t lost your touch…”

“So… can you train me?” I asked, and Odin shook his head.

“I would not make a good teacher for what you need… you need someone who struggled to reign his abnormally high power,” Odin smirked, and I narrowed at him, for some reason I felt I was not going to like what he was about to say next, “The one that will train you, and make you a great warrior…. Is…. HILGI!”

“So… I’m off,” I was not going to dignify that with a reaction, maybe it was time to meet other pantheons… perhaps the Egyptian pantheon, probably the next best option, Ra was known to be a powerful wizard.

“Alright, alright… can’t let an old man have his fun,” Odin rolled his eye, in clear amusement, “The one… or rather the ones I want to train you are… my sons, Heimdall and Thor,”

“For a moment there I thought you were about to tell me how I wasn’t dealing with the average pimp anymore,” I snorted.

“Haha, well, no… anyway, Thor suffered from a similar problem when he was young, too much power… and had to learn how to control it, and as for Heimdall, he will help you learn how to control your… new heightened senses,” I eyed Odin in curiosity, new senses… I felt pretty much the same but stronger.

“I know what you are thinking, what heightened senses?... Well, once you get full control over your power… your body will adapt to it, changing the way you perceive things, meaning everything little human sensation will go off the charts, smell, taste, and… well you get it…” Odin chuckled, “Heimdall is the best to help you adapt to that, he among us has the best control over his senses,”

So, I was going to be trained by two of the most powerful gods around, perhaps my luck is turning for the better, “All-Father!” That voice, it seems Gunilla had woken up from the bitch slap I had given her on my way here, “There is an intruder in the hotel!”

“Oh Gunilla, is that a way to address your crush?” Odin teased.

“Adam!? I mean NO!” Gunilla tried to correct herself after her delicious blunder, but… she was too late, I was going to milk this… I was going to enjoy messing with her…. hahahaha MUAHAHAHAHA MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I AM BACK BITCHES!
