The Mirror Of God
Episode 9: Baron the Great Spartan
The Spartans were the most superior race among humans, they had abilities equal to those of the gods, there were even some of the Spartans who balanced against the God Hercules. Their distinctive feature is having a large body and a very hard body, harder than a diamond. They were not easy to kill, even a Spartan could fight 1000 people at once. They lived in the Spartans, far from any other land, nor were they under the tutelage of Zeus and the other gods, they lived in isolation and were rarely seen in the great lands, they only come out during the trading season, they do not receive money, they only want to receive goods and be exchanged for weapons or sirah clothes that they have.
Baron was not a special child among the Spartans, Baron was a simple child and was born in a simple family, his daily life was also quite ordinary, making weapons and working for his family. One day he was invited by his father to the city of Karya, the city controlled by the son of Hermes to barter his father's armour, one way he saw a man and a woman talking, he said, he steals their hearing and leaves the Baron shocked by what he hears. The man and woman are Theo and Chloe
"I am from Indonesia son of Hermes, my name is Theo, I want to ask you." Theo said
Then the Baron saw the girl throw a book at the man
"Crazy old!" Hardik Theo's
"You crazy, ngaku from Indonesia with the name of the highest god." Chloe said
The baron still steals the listen, the Baron is curious and wants to know what exactly they are talking about and the Baron wants to know who the man named Theo is, because the Baron knows the name Theo very well, because Theo's name is highly exalted by the Spartans, Theo is the God of the Spartans.
"I'm honest, I'm from Indonesia and my name is Theo, I came here through a mirror that was sent in my room last night, I don't know anything, I just want to get the hell out of here and do the Mid-Semester Exam at my school."
The baron was confused by what Theo was talking about, but he still wanted to hear it, because he was curious, how could a young boy have a name like the name of their god.
"That's a fairy tale my mother read when I was a child before I went to bed, I must have known that your mother also told you the same story, until you fantasized that you didn't." Chloe said
"True, I was also told that our God is currently sleeping and will one day return, is it possible that this man is our God?" Baron murmured
Later, Baron sees Theo rushing away leaving Chloe, but Chloe chases after Theo.
"Wait, whether your father or mother is also the son of Hermes, because only the son of Hermes knows the story, but from the clothes you wear, you are like an ordinary person." Chloe said
"My father was the son of Bambang and my father's name was Budi, so I knew nothing about Hermes and his children, which I knew Hermes was the god of Greek mythology that I read in my study." Theo said
"The forecast is right, you better come with me now." Chloe said
"Where?"
"Formerly, introduce my name Chloe, you better come with me before you're found by the other god's son."
Then they left, the Baron quietly followed them, and they came to a house, Baron did not know what house it was. Shortly after, Theo enters the house and Chloe closes the door. The baron saw from the outside that there was a fire burning inside the house, even the heat was felt as far as the Baron. The baron thought, Theo must have died with such a hot fire.
"If he were a god, he would have survived." Baron murmured
Shortly thereafter Theo came out with a healthy body, no injuries at all on his body.
"Looky! The man survived with such a hot fire." Baron murmured
Then Theo and Chloe go again somewhere, it turns out that the place is a well, the Baron follows them silently, secretly, Baron did not know what the well was and Baron saw the man drawing in the well, Baron waited for 5 minutes and the man managed to draw the well.
"It was so weak, it took 5 minutes just to draw a well." Baron murmured
After drawing the well they left, Baron tried to follow him, but Baron lost track, out of curiosity Baron returned to the well and tried to weigh him.
Baron continued to draw the well, he continued to draw tirelessly, but the bucket did not go up.
"What's this well?" Baron murmured
Baron did not give up, he continued to draw and there was no stopping, no matter how many hours he continued to draw, until suddenly there was someone who slapped his head, Baron was very angry and took off the bucket rope.
"Hey shit! And then again until!" Shouting Baron
"What did you say?"
The baron was surprised, because the one who slapped his head was his own father, Baron's father then rent out Baron's ear.
"Oh yeah, it hurts." Baron was pleading for pain
"So you've been playing in this well, Dad told you to trade instead of play." Said Baron's Father
"Oh my goodness, I was writhing a young man my age managed to draw this well in 5 minutes and I tried to do it, but the bucket hook did not go up." Baron
"No Spartan child is weak, look at father and learn." Said his father
Then Baron's father tried to draw at the well, Baron watched him very closely, Baron knew his father was strong and it would be easy to just draw water in the well.
It had been 30 minutes for the Baron to wait, until he was sleepy, then the Baron leaned in the well.
"Still a long time?" Ask Baron
"Stupid! Your father's trying, you're mocking me?"
"No, yeah no."
The baron waited, but still the bucket hook did not go up. The god Hermes watched from within his library and the god Hermes laughed at the behavior of 2 foolish Spartans who were trying to draw at the well of Poseidon. Then the God Hermes sent his shadow to approach the 2 Spartans.
"Hey Spartan!" Call the God Hermes
His father Baron felt that the one who called him was a God, the Spartans hated the gods of Olympus very much and they could easily feel the presence of Gods around them.
"I smell dogs here." Said Baron's Father
"Relax Spartan, I don't want to look for trouble." The God of Hermes
Baron's father took off the bucket hook and attacked the shadow of the God Hermes, but in vain because what he attacked was a shadow. Then the Baron's father attacked again and again, and still in vain, his attack pierced through the shadow. The god Hermes was tired of waiting, until he finally began to open the conversation.
"Hey Goda, stop it." The God of Hermes
"Baron stay away, even if he knows my father's name, I'll kill him." Said Baron's father
The baron who was a little scared away, he watched them from afar.
"You won't be able to attack me." The God of Hermes
"Shut up, you Zeus dog!' Shouted Baron's father
The Baron's father continued to beat tirelessly, the Spartan's strength was indeed truly incredible, he didn't feel tired at all.
"Your god is awake." The God of Hermes
The Baron's father stopped his blow and was surprised to hear the words of the God Hermes.
"You mean?"
"God Theo has woken up and he is in this land." The God of Hermes
"You trying to trick me? I'm not stupid!" Shouts Temptation
"Just ask your son." The God of Hermes
Tempting to turn to the Baron and call him, the Baron came towards his father.
"Is it really Baron?" Ask God
"Yes dad, I told you about a man who drew this well in 5 minutes." Baron
"What's the boy's name?" Ask Temptation again
"Name Theo." Baron
Tempta was very surprised to hear Baron's words.
"You mean Lord Theo? Not Theo, is it?" Ask Temptation again
*All the Gods At Olympus Are Called Theo
"Theo is real, he comes from a different world." Baron
Temptation was completely incredulous, the god they had been waiting for had finally risen as well, Goda had to immediately tell this info to Lord Kratos.
"I must deliver it immediately to Lord Kratos." Tempted
"Stupid, you don't know that Kratos is Zeus' dog." The God of Hermes
"Whatchu mean? You insulted our God!" Said God angry
"Are you guys never used, huh? Have you seen Kratos your whole life?" Ask the God Hermes
"God Kratos was meditating to summon Lord Theo, that's what he did." Tempted
The god Hermes let out a long sigh, then he showed a screen displaying Kratos.
"Close your son's eyes." The God of Hermes
The baron without being told, by itself closing his eyes, on the screen it was clearly visible that Kratos was making out with a very beautiful woman, her beauty made Tempta shake.
"Who is with our God?" Ask God
"He's Aphrodite, Goddess of Lust." The God of Hermes
Tempted to see her so upset, she was annoyed because why it wasn't she who made out with the goddess.
"Dad, I'll tell mom." Baron
Plaque, growing a lump on the Baron's head
"Stupid partner, is that what you said meditated?" Ask the God Hermes
Then, the God Hermes removed the screen and the Baron opened his eyes again.
"I could not believe it, he deceived his own people, the Spartans, when I knew his vows, all written in the Spartan temple, that he would protect the Spartans with his own hands and he would kill Zeus!" Tempted
"So I'll make you an offer." The God of Hermes
"What's that?" Ask God
"Your son will go to Olympus in a few days and he will take Kratos' place."
Tempta was very excited and he thoughtlessly agreed to Hermes' offer.
"Serious dad?" Baron
"You're a fool, when else can you go to Olympus, if you're told to go there, you won't think long and you'll see the Goddess of Lust." Tempted
"Dad, I'll tell mom." Baron
Plaque Plaque, three lumps are now on the Baron's head.
"Stupid! You didn't ask what the conditions were?" Ask the God Hermes
"Oh yeah, what's the condition?"
The god Hermes was actually annoyed to talk to the Spartans, as they relied only on strength and never used his brain, but he needed a powerful Spartan to help Theo and he saw Baron was one of the strongest and he had also seen firsthand Theo's form, so the god Hermes decided that he would be sent to Olympus.
"I'll give your son a card to Olympus and he'll take the exam there." The God of Hermes
"Okay, where's the card?" Ask God
"There will be a few more days, so wait and keep this a secret from your people, lest anyone find out about this." The God of Hermes
"All right."
After the conversation, Goda and Baron returned home, the distance between the Spartan and Karya countries only takes 1 day of travel if passing through a secret route, if the public route can take 2 years of travel.

Olympus: Library
Hermes let out a long sigh, he laid his body on the chair, then he muttered and smiled.
"It's gonna be interesting."
Soon, Hera came to Hermes and told Hermes to meet Zeus.
"It's time." Said Hermes quietly
Hermes had seen the future clearly and he had planned everything carefully, the probability of Hermes' prediction reaching 93 percent, so all his predictions could be sure to happen.
***
Spartan State: Baron's Residence
Tempta, the father of the Baron had prepared all the instruments that the Baron would bring, without a long time the card promised by the Lord Hermes was in the Baron's hands.
"Before you go, I want to tell you." Tempted seriously
Tempta then whispered to the Baron
"Meet me to the Goddess of Lust." God's Whisperers
"Dad, i..."
Plaque Plaque Plaque...
"Oh yeah one more thing, if you meet that kid named Theo, pick him up and throw him all his might."
"Why?"
"You have to make sure he's a god or not."
Baron nodded and in an instant he moved to Olympus.
***
Olympus: Canteen of Olympus
Baron is now in the Olympus cafeteria with his team he just met in the room, he is not interested in his team at all, he is curious about the boy named Theo, who is, Baron waited until the boy finally came, Baron looked at him with a thumping heart, Baron did not expect that his God body was so small, Baron intended to approach him, but before Baron approached him, Theo walked up to him first and extended his hand.
"Hi, my name is Andrew. Greetings, what's your name?"
Baron was surprised, why did he mention another name, but Baron was convinced that this boy was Theo, he then lifted Theo up and threw him against the wall of Olympus, Baron threw him with all his might. The baron saw the boy clearly, he didn't mind.
"I've guessed that he's the one." Baron murmured softly
But suddenly there was a sword stuck to his skin, Baron could not see the person who attacked him, Baron tried to attack him but could not because the attacker was invisible. Then, the Baron focused on Theo who got up and approached him, Baron was so scared, if Theo attacked him he might die, Baron was sweating from his fear.
Before Theo got to him, the sword-wielding assailant attacked Theo and Theo dodged his sword attack, until the end of which their fight was stopped by the God Atlas.
"Unbelievably, I almost died." The word baron in the heart
After the incident, Baron kept thinking with Theo, Baron continued to hope Theo would forgive him because he had thrown it.
***
3 Days Later
Mount Harapan
The baron had just followed the sword that attacked him, the Baron knew that they were going towards Theo, because the Baron had gotten a magical whisper from someone, someone said, The baron had to follow Apollo's son who attacked him in the canteen.
The baron continued to follow him until they finally arrived at the Mountain of Hope, the Baron remained hidden and stole the talk of the people gathered at a place on the Mountain of Hope.
The baron heard all their talk, until suddenly Baron saw someone with a chain necklace run away from the place, Baron was about to follow him, but he undo his intentions.
After that, some time later Baron saw that there were many people in chains coming to this place, finally Baron ventured to appear before all of them.
"I'll fight him." Said the Baron who appeared suddenly
"You're following us?" Ask Hendrick
"You guys go, I'll try to hold them." Baron
"What's your name?" Ask Theo
"My name is Baron." Baron
"I'll remember, don't forget to catch up with us if you survive." Theo
Baron smiled happily, because Theo had forgiven him and he kept smiling. Then the company went and the Baron gallantly confronted the assembled children of Hades.
"Where is that guy?" Ask the son of Hades
"In front of me." Baron
"Stupid partan, die!"
With the Hades children compactly attacking the Baron, the Baron smiled and shouted loudly.
"Dad I can finally fight for real! I will serve our God!" Shouted the Baron excitedly.
Fighting happened.
Bagh, Bugh, Plaque, Cring, Sreng.
2 Hours later the Baron managed to defeat all of them, the Baron sat exhausted and laid his body down for a moment, then he muttered.
"I'll be the babu of our God, I like him a lot father, from this moment I promise myself and the Spartans, I will serve Theo and willingly die to protect him!!!!" Shouting Baron
His shout echoed so loudly, after the wife was chastised, the Baron tried to catch up with the group that had left.
"I wish I could find them." Baron
Baron is determined to follow Theo and go on an adventure with Theo.
