The flailing giant form of Poseidon came hurtling upwards directly at me!
"Damn you, Hades!" Poseidon shouted angrily!
My Susanoo punched downwards and slammed Poseidon back towards the ground. Another massive crater was added to the scenery when he hit the ground.
Hades had used Poseidon as a distraction and chose that moment to escape. I couldn't sense him anywhere nearby. He was gone…
"Fuck…" I cursed out loud. I let one of the Big Three escape! I just knew that he was going to cause all kinds of problems for me later if he wasn't caught quickly!
I didn't want another one to get away so I rapidly dove downwards towards where Poseidon crashed. He was in the middle of groggily standing up when my Susanoo crashed on top of him, feet first! Both feet landed on his giant head and slammed him back into the ground!
"You stay down!" I yelled and proceeded to violently stomp on his head a few more times for good measure. What was left of the city trembled with every impact.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A few more hits to his head and Poseidon completely stilled. His Divine Form–which wasn't that impressive all things considered–ended up disappearing and he was reduced back to regular human size.
I let out a giggle and my Susanoo faded away. Who knew curb stomping a God into unconsciousness could be so fun? Maybe some of Hela's sadistic tendencies were rubbing off on me…
I quickly conjured a black metal collar and placed it around his neck. I then opened a portal towards one of SHIELD's holding cells and tossed the unconscious god directly inside.
With Hades in the wind and Poseidon taken care of, I headed towards Hela. I could feel her clashing with Zeus off in the distance. They were fighting outside the city itself.
I saw a battlefield covered in scorch marks and thousands upon thousands of black swords. A giant wreathed in Golden Lighting was currently facing off against a woman that he dwarfed comparatively.
Despite that, it was the giant that was grievously wounded. Zeus's Divine Form was covered in cuts and gouges while Hela only looked winded.
"You push me too far, Hela! Do you want to invoke a war between our Pantheons!?" Zeus bellowed loudly. He was holding his side which was bleeding golden blood profusely.
Hela scoffed and held her hand high in the air. A black sword the size of a skyscraper manifested above the ruined battlefield. "You are a fool of a king. This was the war, you oaf! Your side just lost!"
The towering blade crashed directly on top of Zues. Thunder blasted off of his form as he held up his arms and tried to hold back her attack. He was far too wounded to stop it though. The gigantic black sword smashed into Zeus and crushed him into the ground!
THRUM!
Another wave of power swept across the skies of olympus. The skies overhead dimmed much more than when the first God was slain earlier.
Quest Failed!
Wait...What!? I failed the quest!? 'What do you mean Quest failed!'
[You were supposed to capture the Big Three. Hades escaped and Hela just killed Zues. You only captured Poseidon. For that, you can have one Level Up… Out of pity.]
You have Leveled Up!
I pouted… I had never failed a quest before. Losing out on two levels wasn't a massive deal though.
I flew down towards Hela and landed next to her. She was breathing heavily from all the power she just used putting down Zues.
"You look hot covered in all that sweat." I said.
Hela grinned at me. "Do I?"
"You do." I said. "Too bad we can't have our after battle celebration just yet." I whined. We still had the rest of Olympus to clean up…
Although…
The majority of the city was destroyed and I would bet that most of the Gods probably fled as soon as they felt Zues die. I hadn't seen any Gods like Apollo, Athena or even Hera since we had gotten here. I wondered where they were?
There were suddenly two flashes of golden light in front of Hela and I. Two women appeared before us. One of them was a very beautiful regal woman and the other was a very cute shorter girl.
Hela stiffened up next to me when they appeared. She casually put herself in front of me as if to protect me.
[Hera: Goddess of Marriage and Childbirth - Level 55]
[Hestia: Goddess of Home and Hearth - Level 83]
What. The. Fuck!?
Hestia is level 83!? That means her Divine Form would be Level 93! She would wipe the floor with us!
"There is no need to be alarmed." Hestia said with a small smile. "I don't like fighting. In my whole existence, the amount of times I had to fight can be counted on a single hand. I only came to speak with our two conquerors."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Hera turned her head towards the towering sword that had taken Zeus's life. "Is my husband truly dead? Am I truly free of him at last…" She muttered.
"He is very dead." I said. "Hela is the Queen of Asgard and its Goddess of Death. Zues's soul is already with Lady Death herself no doubt." I answered.
"I see…" Hera trailed off. "And what is to become of us now?" She said while looking off towards the ruined city.
"Well, nothing is going to happen to Hestia. As for you…um…you're under arrest." I held out a black collar towards her.
Hera's eyes widened at my statement.
