Hera— that was the opponent that Minerva and Neptune were assigned. The queen of the Apocrypha— only second in power to the king, Zeus.
Both Neptune and Minerva knew this battle would be difficult. In truth, there was a relatively high chance that they would lose or even die. However, despite this, Minerva was still determined to fight. She would rather die fighting for a world without wars rather than live in a world that was full of it.
"This is supposed to be a queen vs queen match-up. Why is it that you've brought a dog with you?" Murmured Hera.
"Neptune is no dog. He shall be the one by my side when I finally slay you, Hera!" Replied Minerva in a serious voice.
"How pathetic. As if you and Neptune alone are enough to defeat me. Zeus and I are gods among the living! Even humans praised us for thousands of years!"
"I am now the Queen of the Anunnaki, Hera! I shall do whatever I have to to ensure your demise— even if it kills me!"
