Reincarnated as a Half-God with SSS Abilities

"Now that's a lot of gods and goddesses" Sora laughed while he and Xander stood on the empty stage.

"I lost count, I just see a bunch of excited people with golden auras sitting in the distance. Why are they so far away though?" Xander asked, confused.

The wedding area in Paradise was literal perfection. They stood on a small oak stage with an altar in the center. There was a 300 foot long walkway from the house that Xander and Sora assumed was created for the wedding. It was white and had rose petals laid across the walkway, surrounded by different types of beautiful flowers sprouting from the ground. It was an auditorium setup, where the gods and goddesses were at least 200 yards away, seated from bottom to about 100 feet in the air, filled in white robes, speaking amongst themselves.

Xander tried to not look at them, but did wave. Sora noticed Chronos in the crowd and gave a polite nod and wave.

"Holy!" Xander said as Athena appeared right next to him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Anyway, Celeste is going to film everything for your party and for Diana's parents. They will be the only ones who can watch the file, anyone else will just see a black screen." Athena smiled. "This ceremony is obviously a bit different, but as you can see, literally everyone is here. Do you see any impure souls Xander?"

"No Nana Fena. I would have sent them to the Underworld already," Xander grinned.

"Good. Now, Emery and Emma will carry the rings up and my Father will lead the ceremony. Sometimes he makes them quick, sometimes they drag on for hours. I'm guessing he won't drag it on because he's only going to be awake for three days, but essentially, Brie will represent Diana and you will represent Xander Sora."

Sora and Xander nodded along.

"Ok, now when my father asks you to accept his blessing, don't panic and just go along with it. It's going to be a lot, and it's going to be significant. Also, don't feel pressured into doing anything you don't feel comfortable doing." Athena was nervous, which threw Xander and Sora off.

"Everything ok Nana Fena? Why are you so nervous?"

"You'll understand once it's all over. Anyway, your grandparents should be coming on stage once I leave. They will both walk Diana down the aisle. Good luck, enjoy yourself, and don't freak out. Stay calm, please." Athena said while hugging Xander, then Sora.

She teleported away to the rest of the gods in her own special area, which was like a skybox at an arena or a special booth at a play. Eris was already sitting there waiting.

"Dad, what's going on?" Xander asked nervously.

"I have no idea son. I'm sure she's just making sure everything is perfect for her father. He did leave her in charge after all."

Brie teleported on stage and smiled.

"Xander, you look so handsome!"

"Thanks mom. Is Diana freaking out too? I'm so nervous after what Athena just told me."

"Yes, she's nervous but I think Aphrodite and Cyrus managed to calm her down. All of us are just wondering what is so substantial about this blessing that has even Athena nervous."

"Babe, don't stress him out. She's probably just nervous because she's the absolute ruler, it's a wedding that hasn't happened in over a million years and she wants to make sure everything goes well for her Father. The entire Pantheon of gods and goddesses who aren't on Hades' side are here. I'd be nervous too."

"Good point Sora! I love you. You look quite nice yourself." Brie smiled and winked.

"YOU TWO STOP THIS IS MY DAY." Xander screamed telepathically, which caused them to laugh.

"Woah, music." Hope said.

"Oh, hey Hope, sorry, this day is important for you too. Thanks for always being there for me."

"Yes, of course. Your phoenix you don't talk to on your wedding day…" She teased.

"I know, I'm sorry but I'm glad you're joking about it and not offended. This has been literally the craziest few days, or years, or whatever you call it at this point of my life."

Musically started playing from the auditorium like arena and Cyrus and Aphrodite walked out on each side of Diana. Xander immediately smiled and perked up because he saw her emotions swirling and love was the most predominant color.

'I'm glad she's letting love be the overwhelming one, but I see her nerves, confusion and anxiousness too. I don't blame her, I'm sure my head looks exactly the damn same right now.'

Zeus teleported to the altar and had his golden eagle on his shoulder. He was now around 10 feet tall, less muscular and in a formal golden robe. The rest of the Pantheon wore matching white robes, and Xander finally realized that only Athena, Eris, Cyrus and Aphrodite were wearing gold. His parents were both wearing golden ones as well, and none of it made any sense to Xander. He wasn't used to seeing his parents look like a god and goddess: they were just mom and dad, but today, they looked their beautiful part.

'I guess I never realized how strong and muscular my dad is and why he's so attracted to mom. She's so beautiful but Diana… I don't even have words.'

******

'Aw, he looks amazing and got a haircut.' Diana thought while nervously walking down the aisle.

Her veil slightly hid her face, but she assumed Xander could see her. Her makeup was done flawlessly, with golden eyeshadow mixed with white. Aphrodite made sure her hair was cut neatly and perfect, and her golden hair flowed from her head beautifully.

Xander met her at the stairs, whispered, "There are no words to describe how incredible you look," which made her blush, smile and she walked up to the altar with him. Cyrus and Aphrodite shuffled to Sora and Brie, and everyone turned toward Zeus.

"Hello my great Pantheon of gods and goddesses! Today is a very rare and special occasion, one that has never been seen in any Universe or even in Paradise itself!" His voice belted like he had a microphone in front of him, and the gods and goddesses in the crowd erupted with cheers.

Xander and Diana looked at each other and smiled. Xander helped her with her veil, and wanted to freeze time for a moment, just so he could enjoy it.

Celeste was filming everything invisibly from the front of the stage and followed Diana down the walkway. It was a little surprise Athena wanted to give them as she held two cameras, and had one invisibly hooked up to Diana's head that she didn't know about, as well as one on Xander's that he didn't know about.

'Sometimes, being sneaky is ok.' She grinned as she continued filming the wedding.
