The winds howled across Mount Othrys.
A gathering of gods, divine spirits, and warriors of legend stood at the summit, their gazes fixed on the distant battlefield.
There was no movement, no sound—only breathless anticipation.
Among them stood Zeus, Poseidon, Hecate, Hera, Demeter, Prometheus, Epimetheus, Themis, Campe, and the Five Underworld River Gods.
They had all fought, bled, and struggled to reach this moment.
Now, they waited.
Waited as the final clash unfolded.
Waited as Hades and Uranus battled in the abyss beyond the heavens.
From start to finish, they had watched.
They had witnessed Hades' unyielding advance, seen Uranus' desperate retaliation, felt the very fabric of existence tremble as the two deities reshaped the cosmos with their power.
They held their breaths as Hades used the absolute power of his darkness to defeat the once almighty king of cosmos.
Then...
The sky shook.
