39 minutes after the call, Hercules arrived back at his home to meet Jack and Hebe. But unlike what Jack was expecting he was not alone. One of them looked as if he was the Punisher but one from ancient times where he would have fought in the Trojan War. The other was one of the most beautiful women that Jack had ever seen before.

Jack could recognize both of their identities in a moment.

"Ares? Aphrodite? You both are coming as well?"

Ares, Jack could understand. He was the God of War. The more violent side unlike his sister Athena. He would definitely be helpful in the upcoming battle.

It was Aphrodite that he wasn't sure of bringing along. She was the Goddess of Love and Sex. Not very useful in the battle they would be having.

As if he could read Jack's mind, Hercules answered his thoughts.

"She may not have the strongest direct combat power but she is an Olympian. Her strength will be needed in this battle.

Nyx has 4 children, each of them is comparable to a true Olympian. Me and Ares will directly fight these 4 while Hebe and Aphrodite back us up. From you being the one to lead the invasion, you must be confident in slaying Nyx?"

Jack nodded

"At her current strength, yes. If she has reached her full power, I am unsure."

The Titan was originally sealed in 3 parts. When the first seal broke, she was freed and was able to kill all the gods of Olympus. Her strength with all her seals broken would be comparable to Gaea. Even Jack was not confident in taking down Nyx at her full power.

Hercules nodded. He also knew that trying to take down Nyx at her strongest was only something that an Elder God or an entire pantheon with enough preparation could do.

"And are we just supposed to listen to him? Believe that he has the power to beat the person even our father couldn't touch?!?!" Ares complained from the side

Hercules looked at Jack and nodded. The latter teleported in front of Ares before punching him in the chest and sending the god of war flying out the window before teleporting Ares in front of him once more.

Ares had a large dent in his armor and his chest was partially caved in from Jack's blow. Jack's new level of strength was something that Ares could not hope to match or survive. But Jack was not done.

He bent over and used his transmutation to repair Ares' armor before using his own healing powers to repair the god. Once the latter was completely healed, Jack backed away.

"Are you satisfied now, Ares? Although I am not sure how powerful he is, I can tell that he is stronger than Father at the very least," Hebe drank her coffee as she watched the pair harm each other. "Jack. Make sure to clean up that blood before we go."

Ares nodded while Jack used his magical powers, that could be used to wipe out planets, to clean up some of the blood that Ares had coughed onto the table and floor.

But with Jack proving his strength, Ares and Aphrodite had nothing else to say on the matter.

With all of them gathered together, there was not much else they could do. The best thing the 5 gods could do at the time was begin their attack ASAP for the best chance of taking down Nyx before she reached her true power.

"Jack, can you teleport? And I mean actual teleporting over long distances, not blinking or teleporting as far as you can see," Hebe asked

"Of course. My arsenal of skills and power is Mighty!" Jack said while looking at Hercules. The latter laughed at Jack's poor imitation of his catchphrase

"Ugh. Whatever. We need get to the base of Mt. Olympus in Greece."

Jack immediately thought of why they would head to the normal Mt. Olympus instead of the magical one as his brain began coming up with possibilities. And the most obvious one was one he ahd been wondering about.

"Wait. Don't tell me that the easiest way to sneak into Mt. Olympus is to just climb Mt. Olympus," Jack said in astonishment

"Unfortunately, it is. It is just a normal moutain for mortals, but gods who reach its peak will enter the true Olympus. It is also the only way in where Nyx can't find us because Father considered anyone too weak to teleport as unable to be a threat to his domain. We can't teleport near the top though since they would be able to sense us trying to work our way around the system," Hercules explained

Jack was astounded by Zeus' arrogance. A titan could just walk up the side of the moutain and catch them all by surprise because of his logic.

Jack teleported the group to the base of the mountain. When they arrived, there were several people pointing at them but it was not a surprise.

The people were used to Hercules and Ares since they were famous while Aphrodite was a great beauty. They would naturally get attention wherever they went.

But the 3 were not in the mood to interact with the humans around them. They were on a path for revenge.

The group of gods began making their way up the mountain but over a hundred humans were following them up. They wanted to see why they were heading to the top of Olympus. After an hour of walked, they finally found out.

When Hercules' group made it to the top of the mountain, a staircase made of golden light appeared in front of them. The group of gods began walking up the stairs to have one of the greatest battles of their lives.
