Gods can die.

Ares' mind paced with many scenarios, but he quickly came to the conclusion that he had yet to have a good read on the situation and Peros' might. The guy was a god, but he had never really faced a god before. His regeneration was the only thing that really kept him in the fight, whereas Peros had way more cheat like abilities, his entire physique was probably unrivalled by anyone he had ever met.

Peros smiled once more. "If you do not wish to attack me." Ares caught their ankle again, his body moving by itself, but this time Peros hopped and then aimed a kick towards Ares' head with their free leg. The shin struck the side of Ares' head. Yet Ares didn't move, nor did he wince as he glared into Peros' eyes.
