The Rise Of A Porter

Chapter 457 - Trial Run (1)



Arnold was itching to wear his armour and put it to a test. But with dungeons all over the world sealed, Arnold\'s only choice was to wait till his private dungeon reset. Thankfully, he didn\'t have to wait for long as the dungeon opened up within a couple of hours after Arnold was done crafting his armour.

All of his summons had gathered in front of the dungeon to get the first look of their master in his armour. They were wondering how the armour looked because only Talos and Tiamut had seen the final product of their master\'s hard work and sheer indomitable willpower. And Arnold did not disappoint them. 

Previously the summons thought Tiamut\'s godly armour was the epitome of armours, but they were quick to change their opinions once they saw Arnold marching up to them dressed in his jet-black armour. He was covered from the head to the toe, with his guns firmly placed by the side of his hips using especial holsters he had crafted before.

Arnold had also crafted a bionic arm with the leftover Adamantine-Titanium alloy while waiting for the dungeon to reset. Since his arm was made of the same material, it shared the same ability as his armour as well, but that wasn\'t all.

The arm had also retained all of its previous abilities and effects as well. Also, due to titanium being the main component of the arm, the arm no longer was in danger of disintegration after Arnold used the \'Infernal Claw\' ability. In short, he could use it continuously without worry about destroying his bionic arm anymore. 

As for his armour, he had installed a oneway visor installed in his helmet, that way he could see his opponents but they wouldn\'t be able to see his face. While Tiamut\'s armour looked bulky and looked like it could take a hell of a beating, Arnold\'s armour was the stark opposite of it. It was lightweight but could still take a direct hit from even the gods. 

Also, after using enhancement on his armour, Arnold had unlocked one of the most absurd abilities he could ever have... an ability to further scale his already insane amount of strength. As things were going now, Arnold might as well make his way into Olympus and knock straight at Zeus\' door. 

Moreover, his thin armour hugged his body. The closest resemblance Arnold could have thought of after seeing his armour was the one S.nake eyes used to wear. (Author\'s Note: I\'ll include a picture of the armour in the comment section for your better understanding.)

"Whoa..."

That\'s the only word that popped into the heads of all of his summons. Although Talos and Tiamut had already seen the armour, even they could help but be awestruck the moment they saw Arnold wearing the armour. 

"I want one of those..." Bad-Breath mumbled, his eyes were practically shining.

"Yeah, I think you do." Natasha nodded her head, "At least a face mask so that we can be saved from your deadly breath."

Everyone around them burst with laughter. The subtle roasting was too good for them to not laugh. After that, Bad-Breath didn\'t speak a single word and silently glared at Natasha, while the undead consoled him. After they were the only ones who understood his pain... as they too were covered in a horrible rotting smell.

"Is that really you master?" Miro mumbled while trying to look through the visor. The next second the visor abruptly disappeared revealing Arnold\'s smiling face.

"Of course it\'s me. Do you think I would craft such a sophisticated armour for someone else?" He shrugged his shoulders, "Now, let\'s not waste any more of our precious time. Talos, Tiamut you guys ready?"

"Yes, Master!" Both of them roared in unison.

"Alright then, let\'s head inside. And you," Arnold turned towards Hercules, "stay."

Hercules nodded and sat down right in front of the portal. He didn\'t have a tail, but if he had Arnold was pretty sure he would be wagging it by now if he had one. 

"Good dog. Natasha, keep an eye on him. If he does anything weird-"

"I\'ll seduce and kill him."

"... just immobilise him. Okay?"

"Got it master."

\'I doubt that you do...\'

Saying that Arnold stepped into the dungeon with Tiamut and Talos right behind him.

In the meantime, the gods were watching the remaining two planets struggle against their respective world trees. However, Zeus wasn\'t paying attention to any of it. He was just randomly dropping points on everyone but his mind was filled with worries. He was so lost in his thoughts he hadn\'t even seen Loki had already arrived there as he had said he would.

In secret, of course.  None of them wanted the others to know about their coalition. Or else, they might get taken out even before they had a chance to put their plan into action. In fact, Loki had taken control over one of the female servants of Olympus so that no one would be suspicious of Zeus meeting with an attendant. 

"Hm... if I had seen a mortal taking down a child of Yggdrasil in one attack, I would be worried as well." Loki said in a feminine voice.

"Is it done?" Zeus replied without any interest.

"If you mean has that mortal\'s guardian been tricked? If so, then yes." Loki replied with a smile, "My vassal might be stubborn but her guardian isn\'t. Half of the time I have Donna do things my vassal isn\'t even aware of, so it was easy. Too easy"

"How long will the illusion last?" Zeus replied before finally turning towards the naked woman Loki had been controlling, "Also, give her, her clothes back."

"I thought you would like to relieve some tension..."

"You want to me relieve some tension? How very thoughtful of you." All of a sudden Zeus\' eyes started blazing with thunder, as crackling clouds gathered over his head, "Let\'s do it then."

Loki hastily grabbed the woman\'s clothes and wore them back in a flash. He knew Zeus was in a bad mood but he didn\'t realise he was in such a terrible mood.

"Easy there! I was just messing with you. No need to get all hyper over nothing!"

"Then answer my question."

"The illusion... should last until our plan comes to fruition. Or till the Immortal One realises what we have done."

"It should be fine then.... the next round shall be the end of that bas.tard vassal"
