- Era: 1832 BCE. (Age of Thor: 2168 years).

- Location: Knossos/Island of Crete/Greece.

Pov. Thor.

I had been on this island for decades without any hint of success in finding the Telkhines. I was thinking about giving up... At least I tried, although I didn't get the expected results.

I was giving up for good reason... My time was running out, and I didn't fully trust the Greeks.

The Greek pantheon had just emerged from the civil war and was supposed to be establishing the government, however...

They are doing everything in the most random way possible! And they were just focusing their attention on the Helladic people, although I can understand it, seeing as they were the most populous people in Greece today.

In addition to doing something completely outrageous...

Metis was gone and it didn't take a week for Zeus to have his eyes turning to another goddess who had enchanted him.

And just like that, I got word from Thetis that Zeus had married Themis, the spy who worked as an undercover agent in Cronus' domain.

I had a pretty good idea where Metis was... I just didn't want to cause a ruckus by blowing a hole in Zeus' head, so I waited for the one that would help Zeus get rid of a nagging headache.

Hephaestus.

I don't deny that I always wanted to meet such a god... Unfortunately, I couldn't exactly bring him into my pantheon for obvious reasons.

So far Zeus hasn't shown symptoms of a headache or anything, and even if he did, he wouldn't interfere, because I don't exactly want to get too involved with these people...

After all, I was waiting for the moment of my 'destruction' to arrive.

I just had to wait for some cataclysm, be it a flood or an earthquake, and that's it, I would teleport to the Ahvenanmaa Islands, which were still uninhabited...

Along with my people.

Yes, I will steal an entire civilization!

What can I say... I thought they were pretty cool.

... Except for the fanaticism part.

If I couldn't at least find the Telkhines, I'd take something from this place.

Also, it would be nice to have more people in the north of the world.

I knew that some cataclysm would happen soon, after all, civilizations in the Mediterranean world rise and fall many times due to natural phenomena... or supernatural.

And at that moment, I was waiting for some...

I had just completed my second millennium, and I went out to celebrate like a good Asgardian, both in Asgard and in Knossos...

Getting drunk.

At least I didn't destroy anything, and I just stood there screaming while I was drunk...

According to witnesses, I was screaming for more alcohol, more women, and for some reason, more table...

That last one didn't make much sense, but then again, my drunk self not having broken anything, or killed anyone by accident, is already a big step forward for me.

Although, I ended up sleeping with a priestess or two who took advantage of my inebriated state.

Thankfully, neither of them was very young or married.

It also made my people a little happy with my actions for some reason and they went back to celebrating even more fervently... Hmm...

If I replace Dionysus, could I bring mead to Greece?... Hmm, decisions, decisions...

Although I don't think it would do any good, after all I didn't want to meddle further with the new Greek divine pantheon. Also, technically, I had already brought something... and it was the simplest form of toilet paper for my Greek people.

In fact, this was the first item I brought when I became king of my people, and the reason for that was quite simple...

For some reason I never will, nor want to, find out, that the ancient Greeks wiped their asses with rocks.

Yes... ROCKS.

This was a big NO-NO for me, and I soon introduced a simpler, low-quality fabric version, and successfully replaced the stones.

But back to the important subject...

After my return from the 'big three' division to my home in Knossos, Greece was 'silent'...

I knew this silence meant shit was going to hit the fan sometime soon, so I started preparing my people by placing a teleportation and resonance rune on every citizen in my city, and then I contacted Igris and asked him to organize the Ahvenanmaa Islands and start building houses for my people to live in.

The question is... When will the cataclysm occur for me to finally leave this human form.

As I was starting to delve into my thoughts, a presence in the room caught my eye.

I looked and saw a god who started to visit me more often, but not as often as Thetis.

"...Hello brat, what brings my not-so-humble home," I said while chuckling a little.

“…I hate you,” said the being.

It was Hera, and the reason for that was that wherever Thetis went, Hera followed close behind.

The two ended up being best friends and inseparable, especially after the war, which only strengthened the bonds of friendship.

What I found strange at the time was that Hera came alone...

"... It's rare to see you alone... What are you doing here?" I asked, curious.

Hera looked at me and snorted in response.

“Mother thinks that for us to establish our dominions over you humans, we must relate to the three peoples, who are currently separated, and get involved and influence their cultures, you are the leader of the second largest people in our territory and I, along with Thetis, we are charged with influencing your people,” said Hera.

... Oh?

“…Do you expect my people to just accept you as the new gods?” I asked.

Hera just shrugged.

“The Helladics and Cycladics have accepted us very well... The Helladics mostly, so much so that they've already created paintings and stories about us and our birth and conflict with Cronus. Then it just lacks its people, who call themselves Aeolites, which is definitely the most advanced human settlement,” said Hera, crossing her arms.

I could only stare in disbelief before shrugging my shoulders.

"...You are free to try, but without mind control or forcibly, if any of my people want to worship you, they must do so of their own free will," I said.

Although they would hardly succeed after all my people didn't like the Helladics very much and they would hardly accept their same religion.

My answer seemed to irritate Hera.

"But your people already worship you as if you were a god!" said Hera, complaining.

I just shrugged.

“Yes, but I never asked to be worshiped as one. In fact, if they decide to start a cult of anyone or anything, as long as it's of their own free will, they have my full support,” I said.

What can I say... Humans are complicated.

I would never impose religion by the sheer factor of human nature, so I would just let the decision of whom to praise rest with them.

But as they didn't have contact with the supernatural very often, and saw how easily I drove Cronus off the island, my people began to praise the most powerful thing they had ever seen...

Me.

“Ugh…fair enough,” said Hera.

I just got up from the throne and started to leave the room.

“Since you're staying here, I'll guide you to where you're staying,” I said.

Hera looked confused.

“Will I do not stay at the palace?” asked Hera.

I look in disbelief before answering.

"HA!...No~," I said with a smile.

Hera looked at me irritated.

"Because?! I'm going to tell Zeus about –” asked Hera, indignantly as she followed me.

I soon stopped walking and looked towards Hera and cut her off due to having a brief idea of where the conversation was heading.

“Let's be clear here, I have no reason to support your government. Although I may have helped you before, I must remember that it was a deal, so I will remind you of one simple fact if you or any deity considers harming me or my people… I will retaliate,” I said.

 

Pov. Third-person.

The menacing words alerted Hera and reminded her of who the being in front of her was.

A human was hailed as a god.

A human was wielding the javelin spear, the most powerful weapon in her territory.

A human who fought Tartarus... and made him run to heal while demolishing Tartarus' body.

A human who defies Titans and a primal...

Hera's mother had warned her about the kind of king and person that 'Aeolia' was...

In fact, Rhea warned all sons, daughters, acquaintances, and allies about the human king of Greece's largest island, and warned them about threatening him in any way possible and the possible consequences that threats would lead...

"...I didn't mean to threaten him," said Hera, staring at Thor, trying to convey confidence.

Thor just shrugged.

"Don't get me wrong... I just wanted to establish my position," said Thor, who soon resumed walking as Hera followed closely behind.

As Hera leaves the palace along with Thor, you can see the changes on the island and the love that the people of the island conveyed as they greet Thor.

Hera also couldn't help but look at the clothing of the women of the island, and then looked at Thor.

"...pervert," said Hera.

Thor looked apathetically at the accusation.

"Believe me, I've tried changing their clothes... Although I assume I'll be perverted with only my wife," said Thor, in contemplation.

That seemed to get Hera's attention.

“Oh? Don't you have a wife? I thought you were married,” Hera said curiously.

Thor soon denied it.

"No, I'm not married...yet," said Thor.

Hera soon noticed a different tone in Thor's voice.

“So you already have someone in mind?” Hera asked, with a smile.

To Hera's surprise, Thor sported something that seemed to lighten the mood...

A sincere smile.

Until the smile turned into a small frown as Thor looked at Hera.

“Why the growing interest in this?” asked Thor.

Hera didn't look embarrassed, quite the contrary, Hera had a longing and dreamy look on her face, although there was a bit of uncertainty in her voice when she answered Thor's question.

“As we get older, my relatives and I feel affinities with certain domains… Mine, I feel certain happiness when it comes to marriage, I feel that this is the domain I want to rule and protect,” said Hera.

Thor wasn't surprised, after all, most of the divine beings he had contact with said something similar, but with some cases being the exception...

The exceptions, most of the time, referred to a realm that some gods dared to rule...

The death.

When a god or goddess assumes the mantle of ruler of the dead, existence itself undergoes both physical and psychological changes...

Good examples of this Thor had already known.

Hel behaving like a child even after centuries of age was the result of being mired in the concept of death.

Ereshkigal trust issues.

Even Hades, who has recently assumed the mantle of ruler of the dead, has shown a change. The change was more physical, as part of the face, starting on the right side of the face, became just the bone of the skull, with the eye socket showing a blue glow that reflected the coldness of his presence.

Only the Egyptians broke the rule, and Thor knew it was for the simplest of reasons...

Division of work.

During Thor's stay in Egypt, Thoth had explained that a split was made shortly after Osiris' death.

The reason for the split was the overload of power and souls, which Anubis was no longer able to handle. Then, on Thoth's advice, the division of the concept of death was divided into three beings...

Osiris would be the judge.

Anubis would be the guide and jury.

Ammit would be the enforcer.

According to Thoth's theory, this was due to the fact that death itself was a different concept, after all, if there is life, there must be death, and vice versa.

Besides the fact that death, and three more concepts, were in the top ten of the strongest existences, being represented by the weakest avatar existences...

The Riders.

The other exceptions had a simpler explanation...

Beings that challenged concepts, though that didn't mean they were immune to them.

According to Thoth, the Trimurti would be one of them, Shiva is the one who boasted to all who challenged him in a fight...

When Shiva mastered death, the concept, which was in its avatar form, bowed its head in defeat and presented the Hindu god with something that symbolized having defeated the very concept of death...

An albino snake.

And this serpent, even today Shiva wore with pride, around the neck or waist.

Knowing about Hera's growing resonance with such mastery, Thor couldn't help but wonder how the other gods were.

“... And your relatives? Have you found their domain yet?” asked Thor, curious.

Hera soon denied it.

“Some yes, others no... After the war, some chose to distance themselves and we didn't see each other anymore, while others remain seated or are still in the rhythm of celebration and party, and others... to relieve stress,” Hera said, frowning at the end as she lost herself in thought.

Thor looked at Hera doubtfully, though he was curious about her current grief.

"... Something wrong?" asked Thor.

Hera looked surprised at the question.

"No! No! It's just... My brother Zeus moved quite fast after Métis disappeared, and marrying Themis quickly, for me I feel a little...” said Hera, stopping and thinking about her next words carefully.

“… uncomfortable?” said Thor.

Hera expressed appreciation for Thor speaking such a word.

"Yea! That's right! I feel a little uncomfortable” said Hera with a smile and waving excitedly.

It was strange for Thor to see Hera smiling sincerely for the first time at him, given that it only took a walk and conversation that made Hera's mood towards him change so much, but he didn't really care and just chose to point out the obvious.

"...Must be your domain reacting to the act, don't dwell on it too much..." said Thor.

Hera looked thoughtful at the answer but accepted it due to it being the most likely for the feeling that had been bothering her since Zeus had remarried, caring little for the still 'missing' first wife.

A short time later, Thor and Hera reached the part of the city of Knossos that was home to most of the temples.

The priestesses were soon instructed by Thor to take care of Hera, as well as explaining that the city would be hosting divine beings in the near future. In the short time Hera ended up staying, she had marked the people of the temple with her presence.

Little did Thor know, that times of peace would change violently in just a few years...

As Thor made his way back to Knossos palace, some fishermen had run towards him screaming about a giant oyster on the beach and it was impossible for them to open.

Thor reacted quickly by shooting towards the beach, not with the intention of fighting, but with the intention of snatching the oyster and what was valuable inside, which could very well be the biggest pearl he had ever seen, and considering that at the time it was considered the pearl to be the most expensive 'jewel' in the ancient world.

Thor would make the pearl the primary medium of exchange for the Kostr he would propose.

As Thor found and opened the giant oyster, he found a golden-colored pearl the height and width of a car tire.

Thor gave a maniacal smile and wanted to scream that he was rich, though... Thor ended up completely ignoring a completely naked blonde woman who was also inside the oyster and was looking at Thor in confusion.

The Norse god just took off the pearl and closed the oyster still ignoring the woman, causing the woman to start screaming inside the oyster in revolt.

Thor just ignored the cries for help, nothing could take away his smile as he looked at the giant pearl...

A short time later the woman emerged from the oyster alone, outraged, and wandered around the island, looking around as if it was the first time she had looked at the world, while men and women were stunned by the woman's presence.

That was the birth of Aphrodite.

A few years later, Thor was celebrating with his people the summer solstice, which symbolized the time when Thor arrived to 'save' the people. By this time, Hera had returned to Olympus after finding Aphrodite walking through the forest alone.

As soon as Aphrodite arrived at Olympus, she hypnotized most, if not all beings, with the already supernatural beauty she wielded... Which Aphrodite noticed immediately, and grew to enjoy the attention she began to get, although the newly consecrated goddess of Olympus did not venture further for a reason...

When she first saw the light, she saw the first man she ever saw, and when the man blatantly ignored her, Aphrodite met rejection and indifference for the first time, not the adoration and unconditional love I was shown by others who came. after the man who opened the oyster for the first time.

Aphrodite wanted to meet the one who gave her a different and remarkable feeling, so she went in search of just one mission.

Invite the man to be the only one worthy of her beauty.

In short, Aphrodite had chosen her only husband... Although the 'husband' would probably not even remember their first date...

I didn't even know that he was already considered 'husband' by a woman he'd never met.

In truth, Thor was minding his own business, and he had finally found some clue about the Telkhines...

Although it was vague, the information was only from merchants and fishermen, who claimed to have seen beings with the characteristics of the Telkhines, with a fishtail and a dog's head, near the island of Lemnos, one of the northernmost islands of Greece.

Thor went immediately to the spot, in just a rowing boat, and with his unending strength and endurance, he ended up arriving on the island the same day.

The reason for such a rush was that Thor was getting more and more annoyed at remaining as human king, as a cult of Aeolia was acquiring more and more loyal/fanatical followers, so he wanted to get out of there as soon as possible before the situation came to a head. got worse and the people wanted to spread the cult to the rest of Greece...

However, when Thor arrived at the island of Lemnos, he found not the Telkhines, but a civilization composed only of women endowed with supernatural beauty who stared at him in curiosity and displayed an inviting smile.

Thor just took the boat and began rowing quickly towards Knossos, while stopping at the islands closest to Lemnos in search of any sign.

As soon as Thor arrived in Knossos, he asked those who told him he had seen the Telkhines be summoned.

When the merchants and fishermen who told Thor about Lemmos arrived, when questioned, they just gave Thor a perverted smile and said it was a magical island they will never forget.

At that moment, everyone would know the 'wrath of Aeolia', who was annoyed at being sent on a lost journey. In fact, Thor was so angry that as soon as the merchants and fishermen left the room, he ripped the palace throne off and threw it with all his might out the window...

Little did Thor know that the throne ended up hitting a yellow canary, who was suspiciously staring with hearts in her eyes at Hera, who was bathing in the waterfall while being accompanied by some priestesses.

Rhea had been curious when her youngest son ended up returning to Olympus with broken both arms and a leg...

Zeus never set foot on the island of the Aeolites again and chose to remain in Helladic territory, where the eyes of the King of Olympus began to wonder, as he stared at some women who had held his attention...

Shortly after this event, one day Hera ended up getting pregnant, confusing the Greek deities a lot... That same day, Thor noticed that the rune that was suppressing the Norse divine powers seemed to be volatile and therefore needed to be replaced because it was already approaching the 'expiration'.

A few months later, Hephaestus was born.

And to the surprise of Thor who knew the legends well, Hera didn't throw him away in disgust, in fact, Hera had tenderly embraced Hephaestus and introduced him to everyone, as if Hera was proud of Hephaestus' birth.

For some reason, when Thor's golden eyes met Hephaestus' amber eyes, he felt a connection he couldn't explain...

Surprisingly, Hephaestus liked Thor, and always wanted to spend time with him; Thor just shrugged his shoulders and went on to teach a little about the human form of metalworking, which could not be considered weak, given that Thor, after having completed the dwarven blacksmith training centuries ago, could be considered a god of the forge.

That alone made Thor or in this case Aeolia, an accomplished blacksmith, who enchanted a baby Hephaestus, while Hera just stared in wonder at the interaction between Thor and a baby...

A few years later, Hephaestus began to grow into an extremely handsome man, who enchanted many women and even men, although he only had eyes for his work in the forge he had created on the island of Crete.

Hera and Thetis were the only ones who visited Hephaestus, though Thor made a point of visiting at least once a week to see Hephaestus' abilities from the island's volcano forge.

The other day, Zeus appeared in Crete complaining of a severe headache, which Thor promptly helped willingly...

Opening a hole in the skull of Zeus who fell to the ground and was knocked out by the force of the blow. But what caught the attention, was that from the hole in Zeus' skull a light appeared, and from the light, a fully armored woman with a spear and shield, dressed in armor, appeared.

The woman had introduced herself as Athena.

Honestly so didn't even blink, much less question the ways the gods and goddesses were being born in the most ridiculous way he'd ever seen. And so, years passed with new supernatural beings being born left and right, mostly demigods...

Until in 1622 BCE...

*BOOM*

An explosion sound resounded throughout Greece...

The origin was a volcano that erupted on the island of Tera, one of the colonies of the Aeolites... But it was no ordinary eruption.

From the volcano, a hideous creature began to rise, magma oozing from its body like water.

The creature was gigantic, standing thirty meters tall with wings on its back, with the upper body being that of a human and the lower body composed of tentacles.

The creature gave a roar of defiance as it made Greece tremble and volcanic ash covered the sky and spread beyond the horizon.

The roar also caused an earthquake, which resulted in a tsunami of proportions never before seen by the inhabitants of Greece, and that same tsunami, as it approached the island of Crete, a single person could be seen on the beach.

That person was Thor, who looked at the tsunami in sadness.

"... So it's about time... The Telkhines remain in hiding, but it seems my time is up," said Thor.

Thor then raised a hand and, for the first time, created a rune with divine power, although the action was unnoticed by any deity due to the monstrous power of the creature that roared atop the volcano on the island of Tera, plus there was no being. Greek supernatural on the island...

It was the perfect moment.

Thor then said calmly, albeit in the face of a colossal tsunami.

"...X (Gebo), Ahvenanmaa" said Thor, whispering to the rune.

And that's how all the Aeolites inhabitants of the island of Crete disappeared into thin air.

The only thing left of Thor was the javelin spear that had been left behind and was soon engulfed by the tsunami waters.

Simple as that... Thor basically abandoned Greece... Though he didn't know he'd be back faster than he thought.

After all, Frigg wanted to see her old friend again, and Thor would never approve of his mother standing on the roof of Olympus alone.
