Zeus? (Alive, sadly)

Hera? (Alive, sadly.)

Poseidon? (Alive, sadly.)

Hestia? (Who the fuck would kill such pureness in this world? She's perfect, too perfect for this world in fact.)

So, imagine Eny's surprise that Luke had a affinity to both the divinities he received from him and at the same moment he received the divinity of [Prophecy], i activated, giving a vision from the future... A very, very close future. "Zeus' back on Olympus." Luke's eyes stopped glowing like gold, like the sun, as he looked at Enychta, who hummed and stared back at Pruno: "We have some Gods to kill... Pruno, can you take on Hermes?" Enychta's question surprised Luke, who sincerely thought the would have to go against his father because he was the faster one, and being the faster one, he would deal with Hermes since, you know, speedy bois.

"I most definetly can." Pruno smiled at Luke, who just then noticed they were both saving him from having to kill his father, because even though they had no emotional connection whatsoever, he was still someone Luke once looked up to, in the past. "I have experience dealing with someone who's fast." And that's true, Luke and Pruno have spared some, Pruno knew some methods on how to deal with someone who's faster than him- He needs to keep him focused on him, he needs to break his tempo, and he needs to take him by surprise. He couldn't hit Luke with his fastest attack, so he most definetly wouldn't be able to hit Hermes with his fastest attack.

"Luke, you take Hera... keep her busy, i'm sure she's going to try and stop me from fighting Zeus." Enychta looked forward, beyond the night sky above them and back into the daylight of Olympus- This place was so beautiful but so rotten... "When you're done with Hermes, Pruno, you can try and aid Luke. You too Luke, if you see the opportunity to help Pruno, do so." Enychta was taking Luke's feelings in consideration, but he knew that the three Gods wouldn't go out without a fight of some kind, which means they would take the opportunity to finish any of them if they had it.

Mostly Hermes, he was fast enough to attack Luke from behind while he was fighting Hera, or hera (or even Zeus) would take a cheap shot at Pruno while he was fighting Hermes. He needed to keep on his toes for Poseidon as well, but most of the time he wasn't on Olympus but in the deep sea castle that he ruled over, like Hades that spent most of the time on the Underworld with Persephone. "Just make sure that you're safe... I'll focus on Zeus, if you have any other prophecy, Luke-" Enychta moved his purple eyes to stare right into Luke's eyes, he smiled at him, trying to ease him on the idea that they would soon be fighting strong Gods- Well, Hermes is at least a High God whie both Hera and Zeus are Royal Gods. His eyes darted to Pruno, he reached out and grasped both their hands as he kissed them, smiling at their hands. "Just protect each other... We fought against Eldritch Gods, these puny Greek Gods are nothing we wouldn't be able to deal with." Pruno chuckled as Luke smiled at him with a silent 'I love you' on his eyes, it was not necessary to say, they all knew how much they loved each other.

I mean, it became a Shared Divinity!

-Scene Cut-

Zeus had come back from the mortal world below- Something had happenned before, but now everyone was back on the streets- At first he though the Titans had done something, he even though Odin had done something, but no, nothing happeneed.

He went to consult the Fates to learn more about what was going on, and their words were simple, yet scared the shit out of him: "We cannot tell you what we cannot see... What happened to the mortals? That was our Progeni, Chaos took the humans out of their places for a moment, so that their minds wouldn't be broken by the eldritch abominations that walked among the streets, but once they were eliminated, Chaos brought those mortals back, with no memory of what happened." He was scared of the Eldritch beings, but to learn that they were coming, that scared the shit out of him, but then the Fates told him: "The threads of your children are being cut short by not our hands, but even so, their time has come."

After saying this, Lachesis dragged a golden thread from their stars and Atropos, with silver shears, she cut the threads of his children, he did not know for a moment, but soon he felt it- Ares, Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo, and Artemis, they were all part of his Pantheon, they were all connected to him, and they all vanished. He no longer could feel their connection to him, he could no longer feel them in his heart, and although he wasn't the best father, he loved them- They were his children, and they were all gone now.

He couldn't look at the Moirai anymore, he left that damned cave full of stars, returning to his domain in Olympus, only to call his wife and his son Hermes who came fast to his presence- Dionysus refused his call, he couldn't understand why, but he refused to listen to his voice calling him. He tried his forgotten son, the one who would spend hours of his forge, making something... But Hephaestus ignored his call, he tried Demter, but she ignored, no, she couldn't come, something or someone was stopping her, and then he called Poseidon, who also came. And at last, he called Hestia, but she did not come, she also refused his call, but this time he received an answer...

A sad, whispering voice saying: [Forgive me, brother... Your time has come.] And at hearing this, he couldn't help but remember the Moirai, they were dragging his string too, they were ready to cut his string too, he was going to die... And that was when he heard it, the footsteps that echoed on the empty throne room, three Gods walking towards them. A pair of golden eyes met his electric blue eyes as the Son of the Night smirked, saying: "Ah, Zeus... I've been waiting to meet you." His next action shocked Zeus, since he grabbed his thunderbolt and threw a powerful blast of thunder and electricity towards the insolent God- Who simply opened his mouth and devoured the electricity.

"You two, you know what to do..." The blond god looked at Hermes for a second before vanishing, he appeared beside Hera, sword in hand and slashing down at her, faster than they coudl react. "What-" Posidon tried to use his trident to defend Hera, only to feel in being tugged down by a large black vine, the black vine whitered as a skeletal hand grabbed his feet and a voice said: "Come join us... In death."

A battle of Gods just started.
