As the dust settled from the cataclysmic showdown between Chronos and the gargantuan cyclops, Hades found himself struck with awe, the goblet in his skeletal hand nearly slipping from his grasp.
The spectacle before him was beyond his wildest expectations.
"HAHA! Amazing!"
He laughed heartily, his voice echoing throughout the realm.
A proud smile stretched across his face,
"Maybe the old dragon was right about this Grandson of his!"
His sharp eyes twinkled with a mischievous glint.
'The brat still owes me four fights...,'
Hades mused to himself.
The possibilities rolled through his mind at a dizzying pace.
'If I bide my time, let him get even stronger before calling in that debt... hehehe.'
The mere thought of it filled him with giddy anticipation.
However, before he could further revel in his plans, a mighty, thunderous dragon's roar resonated, shaking the very fabric of the realm.
