"What the heck! I just defeated a god and I got only a million exp? Cronus, you stingy ancient relic! I’ll get you for this!" Rex yelled.
"Verily, thou hast bested but the god of mere skirmishes, Ares. Prithee, speak not of billions in reward 'til thou doth lay low Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades. Until then, relish thy modest crumbs, mortal!"

The battlefield trembled beneath his presence, shadows stretching unnaturally, consuming even the ambient light.

"Getting slower, Zeus." Lucius tilted his head, his voice layered with something unnatural. "Are your years finally catching up to you?"

Zeus snarled and vanished in a blink.
