Chapter 166: PIRATES, LAWS AND PUNISHMENT
Perseus POV -
'' You are back. I thought you will enjoy your time with your siblings and your parents for a little longer.'' Frejya said the moment I stepped into the throne room of Vanaheim.
Right now she is sitting on the throne of the king and every other members were present in the room. I have came back from the Asgard. I spent more then two weeks there in Asgard.
And I am preety sure she is irked with my behavior. Because in my absence she has to carry the responsibility of the ruler. And ruling over more then hundred thousand planet is no small feat.
But before I can answer and try to control her anger I was hit by a truck. When I came back to my senses I realized that it is not a truck but Tyson. He hugged me so hard that I am sure if I was a demigod I would be crushed to death.
He said,'' Brother I missed you. You know in your absence I was pretty lonely.''
When he allowed me to get out of his hug, I said,'' I missed you too brother and I know that I was gone for quite some time. But now I am back and we are going to spend a lot of time together.''
After some more talk with him I went towards my throne. I turned towards Frejya and said,'' I have spent a lot of time within Asgard. Now I have a lot of responsibility to fulfill.''
I looked towards her and hugged her. She grumbled for some time and then calmed down. I looked around and I found that while every one is here but Anna and Zoe are no where to be seen.
Frejya must have saw the unasked question in my eyes that's why she answered, '' There has been some space pirates that have entered into the territory of one of our vessels. Before they can cause any damage Anna and Zoe went to deal with them. ''
I was confused as to why Anna and Zoe will go for this usually this will be the job of Angela and her Angels. I asked her,'' Why will they go?''
She said,'' Anna and Zoe were quite bored here in Vanaheim. They wanted to have some fun. So they have taken it upon themselves to do these kind of some small chores. ''
Fun. They are going to kill those pirates and fun. Well even I will take it as a form of fun. It is quite true that the peoples changes according to there conditions. Look at us when we were Demigods then going in the war would have been one of the most dangerous things in the world. We would have hated it. Feared it.
But now as a God going into a small battle is a kind of fun. Fighting thousands of peoples is a kind of warm up. Killing peoples does not come with the usual guilt that would have been there.
Being a God have changed us. But it is a good thing that we have not lost our morals. I would have hated myself if I have turned in to the likes of Ares or some other selfish Gods.
And then there is the matter of Pirates. If it is not for the reason of some future involvement I would have just destroyed them in it's entirely. These wretched beings not only attack on the planets to loot them but also they have commited different kind of atrocities.
They have killed the citizens of the planets they have attacked. They also Kidnapped womens, girls and children to keep them as slaves and then sell them on a sky high prices. And do not include what they do in between kidnapping and selling.
If I even thought about it I will just end them. Here and now. When I became one of the over lord of the universe. Over lord means a king who rule over a significant part of space. So when I became a over lord I made a harsh degree.
I ordered that if anyone was found kidnapping or selling any other person or if some one was found buying them then they will be killed without any mercy.
I also created harsh laws against the pirates. But the most important and dangerous law is that if anyone of the pirates was found committing crime in any of the vessel planets of Vanaheim then not only they but also all of there entire family ( There other crew members) will be declared criminals and punished by death. ( anyone who is not related to the pirates business then they will not be included in this law. In one word this law will only be applicable to the pirates no one else.)
As soon as this decree was made the other Overlords also install this particular law in there planets. This law was supported by Shi'ar empire, Kree empire, and Nova empire and was unanimously implemented in there planets.
Although the decree was made but the pirates were quite bold. They still attacked and did the atrocities in a vessel of Kree empire but when the every other empire who passed the degree attacked them and destroyed them the message was quite clear that there days are numbered if they ever crossed the line.
But they have created a new way for attackes. Now the pirates who attacked us are the group of pirates who are orphans and have no crew members. These kind of pirates creates a new crew and attacked us. And I am sure that even this time the crew will be consist of this kind of pirates.
When I sat on my Throne I asked,'' Anything else of notice. That I should be aware of.''
Frejya said,'' Well not for the present but approximately six days ago a planet was attcaked by Thanos. And I think you know the end.''
Thanos. One more headache. Should I just end him even before the canon starts.
