Zeus charged, thunder erupting from every inch of his being, bolts spiraling from his fists as he brought his blade down while roaring like a lion.
But this time, Hades didn't evade.
He stopped the blade mid-swing—with one hand.
I saw how his palm closed around the burning edge of divine skyfire, and the metal shrieked under his grip. Smoke hissed between his fingers, but Hades' expression didn't shift. His pale eyes locked with Zeus's, filled with millennia of patience… and a final, cold resolve.
"You've ruled for so long brother, that you forgot there are others ruling beside you" Hades said. "Let me remind you, giving you a reminder of why I am a King."
He smashed his fist into Zeus's chest, a blow so powerful that he broke the sound barrier just from getting shot.
Zeus flew backward like a comet, crashing into the foundations of the Temple of Prometheus. The ruins collapsed on impact, with dust and the golden flame of rhe temple erupting into the sky.
