After the death of Hermes, the duo has to continue moving forward as mankind is now going to suffer from the insects that carry diseases across the lands. Cecelia remained in her true form as the Sacred Dragon Slayer as she has a feeling that another fight is likely taking place soon. They approach to a area that's very likely known as the Arena on Mount Olympus. It's like a coliseum that's probably theGods' favorite location to watch and even participate in thrones, which likely belonged to Zeus and Hera respectively, could be seen at the middle of its bleachers. As if it's on cue, someone spoke drunkenly from the bleachers: "Bravo. Bravo. Our hero has arrived. Applause for another bastard child of Zeus. Just in time for the final act." That voice belonged to Hera who is the Olympian Goddess of Women and Marriage. What Cecelia find it psychologically disturbing is that Hera us Zeus's sister and is yet his wife as well. She thought to herself as she mentally gagged: "Talk about twists and turns in the family..." Hera drunkenly spoke after taking another sip of wine if not alcohol from her chalice: "You look terrible, dear. Still wanting to kill my husband, I suppose?" Cecelia could tell that it's sarcastic, but she goes along with it anyways. Kratos said this as Cecelia silently looks around: "You know I seek revenge on Zeus." Hera drunkenly nodded as she replied: "Can't say that I blame you. Since you killed my son Ares, fear of you consumes him." This could have been the result of when Kratos opened the Box of Pandora the last time when the original God of War was alive. Kratos said this to the head goddess: "His fears mean nothing once he's dead." Hera said as she tipped her chalice in her hand: "I'll drink to that." Not wanting to beat around the bush in a sense, Cecelia said out: "Goddess Hera? We seek the one named Pandora." Hera remarked after drinking more of the wine in her chalice cup: "Pandora? That wretched little thing my son Hephaestus created? Well, we can't have you do that, my dear. Destroy him." From the opened gate in front of the two, loud steps can be heard as the flooring of the Arena shakes with each step being taken to go forward. Cecelia's eyes widened a bit as she recognized the man who's taller and a bit more muscular than Kratos. He's none other than Hercules who is told that he's the Demigod son of Zeus. She thought to herself: "Wait...I remember that Hercules is the son of Zeus. If Zeus is Kratos' father, then that means..." Her theory was correct as Hercules said this when looking down at Kratos: "Hello brother."
Kratos said when looking up: "This isn't between us, Hercules." Hercules remarked when looking down at his younger brother considering that he is much taller: " Isn't it? You were always Zeus's favorite." Cecelia's mind speak in her head when looking at the other Demigod: "Sounds like he got infected by the plague of jealousy." Kratos said more as he didn't really want to possibly kill his older half-brother: "The air on Olympus affects your thinking, brother. Zeus has no favorites." Cecelia thought in her mind as the two of them are talking: "I'm rather confused. Why would...? Oh...now, I remember. In the Greek mythology, Hercules is Zeus's demigod son. The same goes for Kratos. Now, it makes sense." Hercules said this when backing up just a bit with his eyes set on Kratos: "Think about it brother. While I was stuck cleaning the Augean stables, he chose you to destroy Ares." This is likely a probability that Hercules is infected by the plague or evil of jealousy when the box was opened at that time. Hercules said more when Kratos didn't seem to be fazed: "Not convinced? How about this? While you were being crowned the god of war, I was sent to an apple. They called them labors. Hah! Perhaps he did allow me to kill the Nemean lion, but he made your name known amongst the people. A fierce warrior. A killer made hero. A man made a god! But this time, brother...this time, I will destroy you." Cecelia mentally thanked her gut feeling of remaining in her form as the Sacred Dragon Slayer as she sensed that another battle is about to start. Hercules said this as the soldiers are entering into the arena: "Call it my thirteenth and final labor. Soon I will become the god of war and claim the throne for myself!" Kratos felt hesitant to possibly kill his older half-brother, but it seems like he has no other choice as he said this: "You aspire to be an Olympian. Yet, their reign is ending, Hercules. The other demigod said before he jumped onto the balcony with the drunken Hera: "We will see about that." It appears that the undead soldiers in Hercules's leadership arrived to fight against Kratos. This is surprising when Cecelia stepped in forward and took in Agni and Rudra in her hands as she opened up her dragon wings. This is when she's like an aerial assassin as the demon swords of fire and wind cuts and leaves behind destruction upon the enemies one by one. This is when Hercules decide to join the fight when he's armored up with the Nemean Cestus. It's known as a pair of large metal gauntlets that's each forged that resembled a snarling lion's head. Those gauntlets greatly increased the strength of its wielder when they were worn. As if preventing her from fighting his half-brother, Kratos stepped in as if he is unknowingly trying to protect her and help her as she had done for him so far. Hercules tears up and lifts the floor of the arena of which makes Kratos fall. Cecelia flew over and caught him with her hands firmly around his wrists as her dragon wings hold them up both firmly when flying into the sky.
She had an idea in mind and said: "Kratos? I had a thought in mind. But I'm not sure if you like the idea of being thrown downwards." He looked up at her and said firmly enough for her to hear: "Do what you have to do! As long as I can get to Hercules!" She nodded and then gripped onto his wrists so she wouldn't slip as she starts to spin in forward loops. Channeling her magic of which the white lightning are embedding into the Nemean Cestus, she said this before letting go for the throw: "Sacred Dragon Hammer Strike!" This executed well as Kratos is sent at the precise spot of which the impact of the lightning shock hits critically on Hercules and caused the arena floor to trap him in place. Kratos looks around to see Cecelia fighting off the rest of those undead soldiers as his mindset was saying that he doesn't want her to see what he's about to do. Taking advantage of this situation, Kratos brutally beats Hercules to death with the Nemean Cestus as this constant action is staving his head in and smashing the arena floor to open. Cecelia managed to save Kratos from his fall as the flooring cracked. Her arms are up under his own and her hands were secured on his chest as if making sure that he didn't fall. To make doubly sure, she even has her dragon tail wrapping up around his waist to make sure that he doesn't slip. He could smell some kind of scented oil that is on her as she flew to what would be Poseidon's Chambers down below. It is the scent of the Japanese apple blossoms and white lilies. As soon as she slowly lets him go, she suddenly feel his hold on her after she changes back to her primary form to save her energy and magic. He pulled her in as he's behind her and moved her hair a bit onto the side. In his mind, he's wondering of what on Earth is he doing. He starts to kiss the side of her neck as he clasped onto her hands and pinned them onto a wall in front of them. The wall is so polished that it's almost like a mirror as he could see her reflection: her body trembling in something other than fear and more than lust and the same can be said on her face. He stopped for the moment and pulled her to stand up straight before he apologized. There is this one image that he now would see in his sleep: Cecelia's full expression of being in love with a monster like him.
