The next day shirou woke up early in his bed and began to cook many dishes then pack them to be sent to his uncles, aunts, hecate and nike who had become too addicted to his food and would come here multiple times a day and almost destroy his temple if they did not get to eat his food, last time they left a giant mess and he had made them clean it up without any godly powers as punishment threatening that if they did not do it they would no longer get any of his dishes which seemed to work.
Today he would have to go to his forge, he needed to continue his work and maybe try to make new mystic codes that could help him, maybe even create something for the future heroes who can impress him. He put some food with a note for athena that tells her that he will return in a few hours.
He teleported away to his forge and began to work, as he was working he felt someone teleport to him, it was a god which he remembered always made fun of him, the god who was named eros, a son of aphrodite and ares.
Eros: hey hephaestus be a dear and fix those arrows for me.
Handing him the arrows without even looking at him while admiring himself in the mirror.
Shirou sure for 5000 drachmas.
It was a very high price but the person infront of him did mock him many times and was the son of ares, besides he was the only forger in olympus so he could not be replaced. He knew rin would be proud of him.
Eros (stunned): excuse me, you want me to pay you
Shirou: yes, if you want e to fix them.
Eros: but you are a blacksmith, it is your job to fix our weapons.
Shirou: well nothing is free in this world, I am busy, I have many things to do so if you don't pay me then you can leave.
Eros (complaining): but the price is too much and you never asked anyone for money before.
Shirou: before I did not have any projects to do and had a lot of free time, now I have things to do, so if you want me to do it and present it in the next few days you will need to pay.
Eros: fine, take your money but have it done.
Handing shirou the money.
Shirou: pleasure doing buisness with you.
After eros left shirou took the arrows and snapped his fingers repairing them and smirked, the truth was that he did not need time to finish the arrows, his divinity allowed him to finish it instantly, he only ever had to work on new projects but nobody had to know that.
He looked to the right and saw many of his inventions, some were failed experiments to get to his dimension, for example the sword yamato, it was a sword that can cut through anything even dimensions, he also theorized that it can sever a god's divinity, but he had yet to try it.
Next is a bangle, it allowed him to stop time, now what he realized is that he cannot control time since he had no domain over it, but then he got an idea, what if he created something that can do that, he would not be breaking any rules, so to test his theory he created this object and it worked surprisingly.
It was such a shame that many gods underestimated hephaestus, he may not have been the most handsome, but his mind on the other hand was a marvel, he could create divine constructs, prisons for gods, weapons that can kill gods, an army of robots and yet all that was ignored by the others for being a cripple.
Time passed and more and more people came to his forge to fix things and for those who treated him wrong in the past they had to pay more than 10 times the amount he would actually need, for those who were friendly they had gotten a discount from him.
The sound of thunder roared in the sky making shirou raise an eyebrow, zeus was calling an emergency meeting, he wondered why, looking at the weapons he made he stored them in his reality marble, another new thing he can do, he can take weapons he made and store them in there for later use. He sighed and teleported to the throne room finding zeus and the others waiting for him, he grew to his godly height and sat in his throne.
Zeus: greetings olympians, today a matter of importance has come to my attention.
Shirou: what is it?
Ares: you sent my son to tartarus to reform.
Shirou (playing dumb): who?
Ares: phobus.
Replied ares gritting his teeth.
Shirou: doesn't ring a bell
Ares was about to explode but athena spoke before he can.
Athena: the idiot who tried to attack me with his brother yesterday.
Shirou: ohhh, ugly number 1, now I remember.
Thunder was heard in the sky.
Zeus: HE DID WHAT? ARES EXPLAIN WHY YOUR SONS WANTED TO HARM MY DAUGHTER.
Ares (scared): I have no idea.
Athena: I asked for directions and they began attacking me.
Poseidon: it is clear that he got what he deserved.
Hera: the problem still is that hephaestus sent ares's son to reform. Athena too must be punished for her part.
Looking to punish zeus's child with another woman.
Demeter: now now, let us calm down, besides athena did nothing wrong.
Hestia: she merely asked someone a question.
Ares: my son is reforming and the person responsible for it is going to get off scott free. Aphrodite phobos is your son as well. Say something.
Aphrodite: I...I think that phobos got what he deserved.
This surprised many, aphrodite not sideing with area.
Ares: you..
Shirou: what do you want ares ?
Ares: excuse me?
Shirou: get to the point already and stop wasting everyone's time, I know you want something from me so tell me what is it.
Ares: I want to put you in your place, ever since you got a your new look you have been acting like a big shot.
Shirou: I don't see why you are mad, you now have aphrodite, you can marry her if you want, I have only stopped you from rapeing another goddess and put you in the hospital for a few weeks even though I wanted to send you to tartarus.
Hera: hephaestus he is your brother, you shouldn't say such a thing.
Shirou: I don't consider him as such, nor do I consider you my mother nor zeus as my father, just like I never considered aphrodite my wife after the years she spent cheating on me, the only family I have is the few who care about me and treated me well, the rest of you can die for all I care.
His response drew gasps from the council, but the most affected were hera and aphrodite whose eyes began to water, for apbrodite hearing that she meant nothing to the forge god made her heart shatter like glass, he spoke as if her death would not effect him, it hurt her more to know that he stopped considering her his wife a long time ago and stopped caring and loving her, she was the goddess of love, to know that your own husband doesn't love you left a dark pit in her stomach.
Hera on the other hand felt that she was slapped, say what you say about her but she was the goddess of marriage and family, when she threw hephaestus off olympus for being ugly she thought it was the right thing to do, what nobody knew is that after that she was plagued with nightmares, her own domain lashing out against her and torturing her causing her untold amount of pain, she felt a bit of relief when hephaestus returned but she could not look him in the face and apologize, her pride prevented it, she knew many gods and goddesses made fun of him and mocked him and she did nothing to prevent it, she had tried to make it better and give him a companion in the form of aphrodite in order to make up for what she did however that was the worst decision she could have made, aphrodite was perhaps the worst wife for her son, she cheated on him with his own brother and many others including her husband zeus and she was always insulting him and calling him a monster, their marriage was perhaps as bad as hers with zeus, she felt joy when he became handsome and thought that perhaps thing would improve between him and aphrodite only to be shocked that he requested a divorce, as the goddess of marriage such thing was a afront to her domain so she denied it which was a mistake, he wanted nothing to do her and it would seem that her pride has now caused hephaestus to disown her as his mother.
Shirou: now ares tell me what I will get if I do fight you and win.
Ares: what do you want?
Shirou your sacred boar.
Ares: WHAT!
Ares's reaction was reasonable, he loved his sacred boar more than his own children, it had his blessing and great power, it was huge capable of destroying cities easily if left unchecked.
Ares: what do you want with it?
Shirou: no idea, I may cook it.
Ares was now sweating, his precious boar may end up as food if he lost.
Zeus: you want to cook a divine boar ?
Shirou: I said may, besides it will be my property, I can do anything I want with it. So what will it be ares? Is it a deal?
Ares hesitated before fire lit in his eyes.
Ares: deal.
The End
What do you think?
What will happen?
Who shall win?
Will shirou cook the boar?
What about hera and aphrodite ?
