《Agalma》chapter 22
Advertisement
This time the room was all white and Janus was all black. I guess she had a fashion sense.
"Long time no see Janus what you got for me this time"
"I've been watching you"
I wanted to make a joke about that but choose not to
"You really are an interesting candidate. You've been the most entertaining of most of my disciples in a decent amount of time"
"Oh thank you, uh why though"
"Most of my champions don't do any battle they just sit around reading books or starting families. Who would've thought that my powers would be used in such a way, your eye is the most advanced among all my supporters"
"You don't even know what your own powers do?"
"Of course not , that's like asking me to see into every future, possibility and dimension that could ever exist. I have ideas but i cant tell for certain how my champion use their powers to adapt to their situation"
So even the gods didn't know everything or maybe just this one. I remember in a earlier meeting she said she was extremely young.
"cool so do you gain knowledge when we do or do you already have an idea "
"a little of both lets take you for example you're eye skill isn't unique among my followers all it does it enhance your vision .Some of my follower can pinpoint far away galaxies away, some can make lasers and explosives ,others like you or only you can slow down your perception of time through that eye. whenever you gain a new understanding of my power based on your individual experiences the possibilities open of a plethora of new pathway that the power can take that were previously unknown, helping both you and future followers "
That was simply phenomenal and to think at one point I thought this was one of the weaker gods .It only showed how ignorant I am for making such assumptions.
"That's … Wow. " was all I could mutter
"If you care for it I will divulge more of my power into you"
"I would love that , last time i met you you said there was no reason for you to have people like me, but I'm starting to believe that's not as true as you claimed"
"ahh still curious about that , as one of my followers should be .Let me explain it like this perhaps this will help you, you know that you're going to be returned to the ground one day when all your organic functions cease but you still look for meaning and enjoyment. So now take your perspective and apply it to me a being that cannot age or die but just exist in space, i can leave this plane and form a physical body but overall i am still one being. Through my followers i get to see things ordinarily impossible for me to see on my own, feelings such being tortured ,dying around loved ones, or being the first human to love a robot women like yourself. We all need motives to want to continue our existence and my followers provide that meaning .In a way i am living vicariously through all of you and I'm enjoying it very much so."

" I get it somewhat, does that mean you can feel what i feel though?"
"preciously "
Changing the subject he said "I'm going to bless your other eye if that's alright with you , would you like it be combat oriented i see you are quite the fighter"
Never in my life would i thought someone would call me a fighter, was it deserved or not. I would just defending my life but that still counted.
"That would be lovely... if it not to much to ask could i ask that you bless my cardiovascular system as well .To put it bluntly I'm leaving for another planet in a month or so , and i have a feeling that somehow i am going to end up somewhere i cant breath."
"I can and i will but if you want a extra favor from me , i want a extra favor from you"
Her blessings saved my life time and time so i was glad to do what i took to basically get a life jacket
"What is it?"
" You know that planet you're going to, i need you to become ruler , after becoming ruler you have to free one of Numaes chosen, he was gifted with the power to live forever but he was captured a few hundred years back"
I think i heard of this guy before... nah probably not
"Why would you want me to become a ruler, aren't you already a god?"
"Yes but god of nothing basically i want to feel how it is from your perspective and about the poor chap, Numaes been crying about him for a while .Imagine if you had to god of death and rebirth in your favor"
That was a enticing offer
"Well if its for you i don't see why not"
"Splendid"
She started floating towards me
"Are you going to put your elbow in my eye again?"
"You're catching on, one hand down into your eye sockets , the other into your throat"
Sounded atrocious but last time it wasn't painful, so let's just hope this instance was the same
"Wait! i don't want to loose my last pupil "
"I understand and ill throw in a something extra" he said while he was busy fisting my face good thing no one was here to see this but two bros being dudes
"When you awake you should have your new powers, make it entertaining for me. I cant wait to see how you solve this"
Sigh "Alright cya Janus"
Oh crap i forgot to ask him what my other eye does
When i woke up i had the sensation like i was falling. That's because i was falling.
"Ahhhh!" ploof i landed on the soft bed i was sleeping on before
"it never gets boring with you around, what was that anomaly i just witnessed"

most likely something to do with the powers Janus gave me
"What do you mean?"
"Farron you just started glowing which is normal but then it was accompanied by floating i thought you were going to blow up" i heard Gwen while she was hiding behind the couch with the queen, just their heads were poking out so that they could see but also being able to duck if i ignited
"floating huh that is new"
Knowing that i wasn't going to nuke the place Gwen gained confidence
"Are you going to explain this or go into toddler mode and keep secrets"
I could keep as many secrets as i wanted, excuse me, rather i thought this other then saying it.
"truth be told i don't know what i got either , but i think we better go back to the shooting range to test it out"
"oh no mister your not going anywhere until, at the very least you explain what happened"
Darn these legs if only i could walk i wouldn't have to take this. slapping my legs i felt pain sprawl through my body.
I could feel my legs, did Janus cure my legs!
First curling my toes , then flexing my calves it felt like my legs were just fine .Im going to take a leap of faith and try to walk, if i fell then oh well. Putting my feet on the edge of the bed railing/ i prepared to take my first steps, it was like i was a baby again only this time im a grown man.1, 2 ,3 now i leapted out of bed ready for all the pain that could happen if i was wrong.
I landed and it was painless, my legs were healed. Thanks Janus i expressed in my heart.
"no way your legs"
"you were saying, im a free agent now i can go wherever i want" i said with a beaming smile
"amazing its like you constantly keep changing, how do you manage" the queen said
They wanted to learn how i started walking but i wanted to learn about this new eye ability, Janus told me it was combat oriented .All things could be used for fighting if you were skilled enough but to be specifically told that i was , i had some hopes.
"are you going to join me or not?" i said gesturing towards the door
they still were hesitant
"didn't you want to find out about my eyes, do you expect me to just tell you everything?"
"Oh letting up a little slowly but surely, before i follow you do tell why wont you even let out a small amount of info, am i really that bad in your eyes"
"You're the worst" That somewhat shocked her and really i might be going a bit overboard .My fear was that if she found out about the gods blessing she would capture a disciple and force them to use their powers against their will. She acted all sweet but she's a one of the heads of this country, therefore she has to know about the sickness the was running rampant .The options were either she was complaint or a perpetrator both were equally disgusting in my book. If push comes to shove i would just tell her about how im the last of my sect who could use my powers , actually that was a great idea. A truth with some misinformation made for the best lies, I could gauge how she reacts .If she goes bashit crazy in lets say a couple years since that much time is nothing to them , then i was right if not then i would eventually tell her the truth.
Stopping i thought of something devious
"since Gwen trust you'll ill trust you also, you said you want to know about my powers right?"
"oh so soon? i thought you were against it, the power of love really does things to a man, ill keep that in mind"
Good she thinks love is the reason, too simple or maybe I've grown to be untrustworthy
"In my clan I'm the last living member...every person in my clan had powers. Some could move mountains others destroy planets, it all depended on their age."
"If they had such incredible powers then how were they killed?" cutting right to the core
"they were peace loving at heart and choose death over fighting back, i was like that before too , hence i was captured .Not anymore though if I'm the last member of my clan i need to live on and living on requires that i fight"
did it work?
"So tragic and quite frankly i don't believe such a bad lie one bit"
dammit!
"I'll forgive you since it must be something super juicy, all you're making me do is want to know more"
Worth a shot, no i don't feel guilty I'm being forced into these situations.
"I know you don't trust me but think about it like this , if i really wanted to i could just order for your sweet Gwendolyn to be dismantled and find the out what it is that way. All in due time though once you find out I'm merely I'm really just a admirer you will have no reason to keep such secrets"
"I guess that is true... i need more time to think."
Feeling the tension in the air Gwen tried to change the topic " so back to the range?"
