Demigod SMP | DSMP x HoO Crossover | Book 1

Chapter 18 - A Game Of Survival

Looks like both my motivation and Big Q are back 👀

Also I think Techno is an admin in a server? He is one, right? I dunno really the internet did not help at all- (please let me be correct)

Technoblade sighed, clearly annoyed. Why did he agree to go on a quest? It's so annoying.

An admin — Techno, in this case — is basically a god, since they both have similar powers. Techno had taken precautions by changing his code a bit before going on the quest. He is always prepared.

The slight alters he made in his code made him immune to curses and spells. Dream had did this too when he was working for Kronos.

After meeting Quackity and introducing everyone, Techno and Quackity called a truce that will last until they get back to the SMP. (Big Q and Techno hate each other because Techno destroyed L'manburg and was always against L'manburg while Quackity was a part of the L'manburg government and trying to make L'manburg better)

Then the questers had been chased into La Casa Nera by the poison gas spitting cow-monsters. Techno probably could have gotten out on his own with all the enderpearls he had, but he didn't really want the others to die so he stayed with the group. It's not like these teens did anything bad to him like Tommy and Tubbo. He can stick with them.

After that, the god that lives in the ebony black house — Triptolemus — had turned Nico and Quackity into plants. Techno wondered how stupid Quackity must be to anger the god even further and get himself into trouble.

Techno wondered if he can cure Hazel from the poison. If he knew how to code correctly, maybe he could. The piglin hybrid silently cursed himself for not practicing his powers more.

It's a good thing Frank actually has brains. The child of Mars gave Triptolemus his book — his almanac or something— back, which made Triptolemus less keen on turning people into plants... for the time being. In the back of Techno's brain, he wondered if he can also turn things/people into something else. He probably can, if he actually knows how to use his admin powers.

"Wait! I'll fix... that!" Frank pointed at Triptolemus's broken chariot as he tried again to convince the god of farming, "Just help my friends!"

Techno could see worry in Frank's face and felt a bit of sympathy for the guy. Frank didn't want any of this to happen, but it happened anyways, even though he tried his best. Techno could definitely relate.

After a while of desperate bartering, Frank had somehow managed to convince Triptolemus to give him a chance.

Frank looked extremely down when the two of them left the black house. Techno wanted to say something but... socializing is just not his thing. So they just stood there awkwardly as they tried to think of ways to fix the chariot.

"It's only missing a serpent." Techno analyzed helpfully. "We just need to find a serpent." The pink haired warrior wondered if he can turn things into serpents, but decided that he's not powerful enough yet.

Frank clutched his head and mumbled some things to apparently himself. Techno stared at him, worried. To be honest, he favored Frank a little. Frank kind of reminded him of Ranboo. The two teens have the same energy and act similar at times. They are even close in age as well.

"I got it." Frank looked glum. "I gotta go destroy all of these cow things. I have to prove I'm as good as Horatius..."

Techno blinked in confusion before remembering the tale of Horatius. Horatius was a demigod who defended Rome from hordes of invaders all on his own.

"...why?" Techno asked.   

As Frank explained the voices of Mars and Ares in his head and everything, Techno's expression turned grim. He knew how it feels to have voices in your head and how hard it is to fight a whole crowd of anything.
