Zeus smirked as he locked eyes with the leader, his voice dripping with mockery. "You really are the smartest person here—so smart that you made it easy for me to destroy your plan. It's almost like you wanted to fail."
The leader's face twisted with rage, his eyes narrowing in fury. "Damn you!" he spat, his voice shaking with barely contained anger. "Mages, do it! Now!"
The mages, their faces tense with determination, immediately began chanting. The ground beneath Zeus's feet rumbled as the familiar chains of earth began to rise, attempting to ensnare him once more. But Zeus only laughed, a dark, amused chuckle escaping his lips.
"Do you really think the same strategy would work twice on me?" Zeus taunted, his tone dripping with condescension. "How stupid do you think I am?"
