Raenius: The Hellspawn of Kronos.
Disclaimer: Spawn is created in Image Comics by Todd McFarlane. I do not own it.
On the very top mountain in all of Greece stood Mt. Olympus. There rules Zeus, King of the Olympians, a group of Gods in Greece that has ruled the Greek Cosmos ever since they overthrew their predecessors; the Titans.
After overthrowing Ouranos, Primordial God of the Sky, Kronos, the Titan of Time and King of Othrys, was giving a cursed prophecy as punishment from his own mother Gaia for not setting the Hecatonchires and the Cyclopes free after their horrid father cast them into the worst place in the entire Greek Pantheon: Tartarus, all because of their hideous appearances. The Titan King saw that his own children by his sister-wife Rhea, Titaness of Motherhood, would rise against him and sentence him to Tartarus, he made the most idiotic decision that had sealed the Titans' fates for all eternity: he swallowed them one by one, imprisoning them all in his belly.
Horrified and enraged by her brother-husband, Rhea devised a trick by switching the infant Zeus with the Omphalos Stone, and Kronos, fooled into thinking that the very stone was his own youngest son, swallowed it.
When Zeus grew into adulthood, raised by Gaia, his desire to free his siblings from their father became strong willed, but the Primordial Goddess of Earth's foolish compassion would haunt the Titans for eternity. In the world of Gods, compassion is a weakness. When Zeus learned of his father's sins, he came to despise all the Titans, especially the good ones who had nothing to do with Kronos' new found cruelty.
When Zeus freed his sibling from their father by mixing poison with Nectar, they declared war on the Titans, and those who side with them, will suffer for all eternity. Some of the Titans fought for the newest of Deities called the Olympians, while others fought for Kronos.
The Titanomachy lasted for ten years. Freeing the Hecatonchires for their monstrous strength and the Cyclopes for their craftsmanship, the Olympians emerged victorious, and sentenced their father and those who sided with him, fulfilling the prophecy of the end of the Titans' reign.
Gaia was not pleased that her other children were sentenced to Tartarus, because she loved all her children, for she wants all of them, the Titans, the Hecatonchires and the Cyclopes to be free grom the cruelty of Ouranos.
Through the blood of Ouranos, Gaia gave birth to the Gigantes (Giants), and they declared the Gigantomachy.
With the help of Heracles, son of Zeus by his own great-granddaughter Alcmene (daughter of Electryon, and granddaughter of Perseus, son of Zeus by the Olympian King's own great-granddaughter and descendant Danaë, and Andromeda), and the strongest Demigod in all of Greece, the Gods defeated the Gigantes.
Gaia, enraged at her new children's loss, consulted wit her brother Tartarus the Primordial, and together, they spawned Typhon, the father of all Monsters by Echidna, Mother of all Monsters and the daughter of Phorcys, Grandfather of all Monsters.
All the Gods fled in terror at the sight of the most terrifying Monster they had ever seen, all except Zeus and his favorite child, his daughter by his first wife Metis, Athena.
At first, Zeus lost, and his intestines were torn off, but with the help of the Gods' new found courage, the King of Olympus defeated the beast, and imprisoned him on Mt. Edna.
If you think that the Olympians are some types of heroes of some godly wars, then you're sadly mistaken, for their true natures are what we considered divinely cruel.
Zeus, over time, has become just like his father: a cruel tyrant, no more the veteran the Mortals and Gods has come to admire and worship. When he learned of a prophecy by Gaia that his own son by Metis would rise against him, he swallowed his first wife, imprisoning her inside his head for all eternity. Worse, he rapes and intervenes against the very laws he created for his own sick pleasure.
His sister-wife, Hera, the Queen of Olympus, would punish her brother-husband's lovers and children all because they were raped and spawned by Zeus without asking, when she should have punished the Sky God instead. At some point, she did, but her plan failed and she was punished for it. Instead of learning her lesson, Hera continued to torment her step-children/nephews and nieces, especially Heracles, whom she drove him mad into slaughtering his closest of companions.
Poseidon, God of the Seas, like his younger brother, would rape and chest when ever he goes. "The sea cannot be contained." said the Sea God in his despicable excuse.
Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest, nearly froze all of Greece, starving it's entire population all because her daughter by Zeus, Kore (now Persephone), was taken by her who she believed to be despicable brother Hades, who with Zeus' help, took his niece to the Underworld, earning Demeter's eternal disdain even when things settled out. She even made the Prince of Thessaly, Erisikhthon, devour himself when she gave him enteral hunger, an act of divine cruelty, even though the Thessalian Prince had it coming for cutting down one of her Nymphs for wood.
Hades and Hestia are out of the question, for their did nothing other than being the only Gods who had done nothing despicable, even thought the God of the Underworld, along with Zeus, is almost responsible for the Greek population's extinction.
Let's go over to the divine children of Zeus, the second generations of Olympians. Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Warfare and Zeus' firstborn child, maybe wise, but she is also capable of doing worse. She turned Medusa and Arachne into monsters out of spite, pride and jealousy. She even cursed a musical instrument all because she was embarrassed, and the Satyr Marsyas payed the price of it. She blinded her favorite Nymph's son Tiresias all because he made the mistake of seeing her naked while bathing. Instead of restoring his sight, she gave him the ability to understand the language of the birds and foretell the future.
Apollo, God of the Sun and Music and Zeus' bastard son by Leto the Titaness, killed his half-brother Tityos the Giant, who was driven mad by Hera into raping his mother, and with the aid of his father and sister, sentenced the Giant into Tartarus, leaving his daughter Europa at the mercy of Poseidon, who bore him a son named Euphemus. He skinned the Satyr Marsyas alive for daring to challenge him into a music contest. He also killed the sons of Niobe all because their mother had more children than his mother.
Artemis, Apollo's older sister, Goddess of the Moon and the Hunt and Zeus' bastard daughter by the Titaness Leto, killed her grand-nephew Actaeon all because he made the mistake of falling in love with her naked, bathing body, and was torn apart by his own dogs, leaving them to mourn for the master they unknowingly ate. She killed Niobe's daughters all because the Queen of Thebes had more of them than her mother had. She killed the man who could have been the eternal love of her life, and the possible father of her own child, Orion, who died because of Apollo's jealousy. She drove Callisto out of her Hunt when the latter was raped by her father Zeus, who disguised himself as his own daughter. She killed Princess Chione of Pokis all because she boasted of being more beautiful than Artemis, when the Moon Goddess shouldn't have cared due to her chastity. She also had her cousin Aura raped by her half-brother Dionysus all because the daughter of Lelantos doubted her chastity.
Ares, the God of War and the legitimate son of Zeus and Hera, turned Cadmus and his own daughter Harmonia into serpents for the death of his monstrous dragon son. He cursed the young soldier Alectryon for failing in his duty, turning him into a rooster. He even killed a mortal man named Adonis in a fit of jealousy for being with his lover Aphrodite.
Hephaestus, Blacksmith of the Gods, son of Zeus and Hera, cursed Harmonia all because she was Aphrodite's bastard daughter and not his.
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty and daughter of the Primordial God Ouranos, cursed the women of Lemnos for not worshipping her, causing their husbands to cheat on them with their Thracian slave-girls. She caused the death of Hippolytus for taking a vow of Artemis' chastity. She cursed Polyphonte, daughter of Glaucus of Corinth, of making love with a bear, causing her mistress Artemis to leave her in disgust, while her sons Agrius and Oreius became wild cannibals who earned the hatred of Zeus. She cursed Eos out of jealousy for being Ares' lover. She turned the women of Cyprus into the world's first prostitutes. She cursed the descendants of Bellerophon, Xanthius and his son and unnamed daughter, for reasons unknown. She also cursed Myrrha to fall in love with her own father all because her mother bragged that her daughter is more beautiful than the Love Goddess. She caused King Diomedes of Argos' wife Aegiale to cheat on her husband with multiple lovers. She caused Queen Pasiphae of Crete to fall in love with the Cretan Bull (commissioned by Poseidon), causing the birth of the Minotaur. Worst of all, she scorned her husband Hephaestus with the Smith God's own brother Ares.
Dionysus, God of Wine and Madness and bastard son of Zeus and Princess Semele of Thebes, drove her aunts Agave, Ino and Autonoe mad into tearing Agave's son King Pentheus, the Wine God's cousin, to bloody pieces.
This is the cruelty of the Gods of Olympus, and why the Greeks continue to worship them is still questioned even to this day. And now, some begged for something that can give the Olympians their comeuppance, the punishment they so rightfully deserve. And that answer lies into a place worse than Tartarus itself: Hell.
Hell, the worst place in the universe for those who have truly sinned, and the home world of beings known as Demons. It was created for the fallen Angels of Heaven created by GOD for all of his children. But one of them, Lucifer, rebelled against his father, because he thought he could be like the Omnipotent Lord. Cast down into the lowest depths go Hell, he is now called Satan, King of Hell and Prince of Darkness. In his vengeful hatred, he tricked the first Humans, Adam the man and Eve the woman, into eating the fruit of forbidden knowledge, and were cast out of Eden. Their first and eldest son, Cain, murdered his younger brother Abel out of jealousy and was cast out into Hell. There, he met a Demon Lord named Malebolgia, were they struck a bargain. Along with another Demon Lord called Mammon, they create a group of Elite Demon Generals called the Hellspawns, approved by Satan himself. Cain became the first Hellspawn, and those that were cast into Hell for the bad things they did, were promised power called Necroplasm, that flows through their green-turned blood.
Only ashes were air and lava were water for Hell, because it is after all, the worst place to live in, and only the strongest can survive here and the weak were killed until they became strong as well.
Out of that lava, came a skeletal body, it's origin unknown, it it stepped out of the fiery water and quickly drenched off of it.
It looked around, before finally he looked at his skeletal hands, as it's mouth opened as if it gasped, and it did.
"M-My hands…" it's male voice managed to sputter, before looking at the rest of his body, as he fell down on his knees and hands.
"What…what has happened to me…? Where are my flesh, my skin?" the skeletal body trembled terribly. "How could this happened to me? How could-?"
Until he remembered, the searing pain of mountainous lava eating away his skin and flesh, and the old man who had casted him there.
"He…he did this…he did this to me!" his skeletal hands dug into the brimstone, and tore at it as he clenched it into his fists. He roared.
"HE DID THIS TO ME! THAT OLD BASTARD CAST ME INTO THIS HELL! INTO TARTARUS ITSELF! WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS!? TO BE ROBBED OF MY VERY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD!? WHY!?"
"Perhaps I can help you with that." a Demonic voice echoed, causing the crisped skeleton to turned towards the voice, where he saw nothing but darkness. Fortunately, fire sprung to live, eating away the dark. Unfortunately, what he saw sent shivers down his spine, despite being in a burning place. It was a being of hellish horror itself, brown skin, grey hair, and complete green eyes, with claws and teeth razor sharp, it's tongue slithering with saliva dripping into the ground.
"W-What are you…?" the burned skeleton asked in fear.
"I am your newest father, Malebolgia, Lord of the Eight Circle of Hell, a place lower than the depths of Tartarus itself." the Demon grinned with malice.
"Male…bolgia?" the unknown skeleton asked. "I've…never heard of someone like that. Are you sure you're not Hades, or the Primordial Tartarus himself?"
Malebolgia roared in laughter, clearly amused of such things, while the crisped skeleton shook in fear.
"I can assure you child, I am neither them, for I am worse than them, but…I can offer you something that benefits you."
"That benefits me?" the skeleton asked. "What could possibly benefit me when I am nothing but a freaky mess? Look at me! I am nothing but a skeletal crisp! What can you, a being worse than Tartarus itself, benefit me!?"
"It is very simple." Malebolgia smiled. "I can return you to your true from, restore you flesh, your skin, give you my very own blood itself. But there is always a price to pay, for everything people like you will gain."
When hearing the offer of being restored to his flesh and skin, the skeleton was quick to pay attention to the being. "A-Anything, anything to return my body to restoration. Please, my newest master, what can I do for your benefaction?"
"Become one of my Generals called…the Hellspawns, and you will have what you wanted ever since you were brought in here before me, by getting your vengeance on the man who did this to you."
"I accept." the skeleton immediately said. "Anything, ANYTHING, to get my vengeance on the bastard who robbed me of my flesh and skin."
"Good." Malebolgia smiled in pride. "Also, before I can send you back to your world, I can tell you of the man who threw you to where you rose, for I have the knowledge of those who cast people like you into my domain."
"Who?" the skeleton demanded. "Who did this to me? The old bastard that brought me here in the first place?"
"You look like a smart fellow." the Demon Lord said. "So I'll give you a beginning." he leaned down his thrown towards the crisped skeleton. "The name began with a Z, does that letter ring any bells?"
"Z…" the skeleton said, before he gasped in realization. Only one being has that name that began with a Z, and the one who threw him into his new master's domain was not a man at all.
"Zeus…" the skeleton rasped. "Zeus, King of Olympus and God of the Sky! Zeus was the one who threw me into Hell! But why!? What did I do to deserve this fate!?"
"Fate, otherwise known as the Moirai, despise you boy." Malebolgia said. "For reasons, that you will find out yourself. As for why Zeus brought you to me, you will find out in no time. Now then boy, do you except my power?"
"Yes…" the skeleton rose to his feet, staring boldly at his newest master. "Father."
Malebolgia roared in laughter, feeling his pride overwhelming him at the success of gaining a new child of his.
"Father." the skeleton said. "Who is my biological father? I never knew him, never had any memories of him, so do you have the knowledge of who he…was?"
"That you will find out soon enough, my child." the Demon Lord said. "before you return to the Earth, you must first set yourself into the Underworld, the domain of Hades himself."
"Hades…"
"That's right. I was the one who saved you from Hades' mercy, my child. Had you been before Hades, he would have send you to Tartarus under the commission of Zeus himself, who would see that you would be tormented, for all eternity." he stretched out his right hand, as it glowed electric green. "Behold, your new found power: Necroplasm!"
The burn marks on the skeleton immediately vanished, gaining the skeleton a polished look, before he felt becoming half full, as he can feel his flesh being restored. When he looked at his hands, he saw no red flesh at all, for instead they were dark green, before his skin is being restored as well, his muscular body bulging in great strength.
Touching his head, he can feel that his hair had been restored as well. Yes, the hair was raven black, before it was burned off by the lava.
When he opened his eyes, they glowed electric green, as he looked down at his cock and balls hanging normally limply.
Immediately, black substance came out of his feet, enveloping his lower body.
"What is this?" the unknown young man asked.
"Your symbiote." Malebolgia answered. "A Demonic parasite made of Necroplasm that will serve as your house of power, the same power that will grant you the need to get vengeance on Zeus."
"Power…" the young man said. "Yes, this will do. This will do to give me the power to get answers on why I've been brought here, to return to my world to dig up my past, for I…I do not remember who or what I am."
"You are new a Hellspawn." the Demon said. "As for who you were, it does not matter to me. Your task is very simple: Kill Zeus, and all those who aid him in his time of need."
"You want me to…kill a God?" the man asked in shock. "But that's impossible. God's can't be killed, they're immortal."
"Even immortals can be killed." Malebolgia told him simply. "They've become overconfident in their victories over the Titans and the Gigantes that they truly believe that they are unkillable. You, my newest child, will prove them wrong with the power of Necroplasm, the very power that can cut through their immortality. You will prove to these deities that you humans so blindly worship for hundreds of years wrong, that they can truly be killed by something that they've never encountered before. Kill them, my child, destroy everything they've built through the blood of mortals, succeed where Typhon and the Giants failed, and you will find the answer you've been wanting since you came into my domain. GO!"
The Demonic symbiote has completely enveloped his upper body, uncovering a symbolic M that shows off on his frontside and backside, with two other M's on the right and left side.
When the newest Hellspawn opened his eyes, they were completely electric green. Looking around at his shoulders were serpents with razor sharp teeth ready to have some meal. He let out a guttural roar that become to Malebolgia one of his favorite music to his ears, before the newest Elite Demon took off.
The Erinyes, born from the blood of Ouranos after Kronos castrated his father, flew to their next victim to punish.
Suddenly an explosion erupted, causing the Underworld to tremble.
"What was that!?" Megaera asked.
"Did another victim escape!?" asked Tisiphone. "If so, than he's gonna regret trying to leave Tartarus. No one escapes the Underworld without Lord Hades' notice!"
"Whatever that was, we're gonna go look at it." Alecto, their leader, said. "He must not leave the Underworld!"
And so they flew off, and what they saw shook them to their core. The people who were punished for their deeds had been butchered, alongside the three Judges of the Underworld (Minos, Rhadamanthus and Aeacus), as if something, or someone had meddled with the power of death and gave those who had been there forever killed off for good.
"They shouldn't be dead." Tisiphone muttered. "Why aren't they coming back to life? How can someone do this!?"
Megaera looked around, trying to search for someone who did this, but before she could somewhat comment, she felt something approaching, each step becoming more louder with each step, and when she looked at the direction, she saw green eyes glaring at her, sending shivers down her spine.
Before she could move a single muscle, the creature lunged at her, grabbed her by the left side of the head, and tore her head right off of her shoulders, blood spewing out of her neck!
The creature that killed Megaera was none other than the Hellspawn himself, who had found himself in the Underworld, the domain of Hades, older brother to Zeus. He first came to Tartarus, where he found the people tormented by their punishers. The Hellspawn gave them a quick, painless death as a mercy for all they've been through. And now the Erinyes, enforcers of punishment, were there to torment their newest victim, arriving on good timing for the Hellspawn to ambush them.
He then rush towards Tisiphone, impaling her through the chest, and brought his arm up, tearing one of the two remaining Erinyes in two, bursting her head apart!
Alecto was shocked at what she was seeing. Her sisters were being brutally butchered by this kind of black, green-eyed creature that appears out of nowhere. Just what kind of monster is this thing?
But before she could take action through thoughts, the creature appeared right before her, grabbed her breasts, and tore them right off like a cloth!
Alecto screamed in agony of her she quickly lost her breasts, blood violently spewing out of her chest, as she lays on the ground, trembling in pain, before she passed out as death embraces her.
The Hellspawn looked at the breasts he tore off of the last remaining of the Erinyes, and opening his razor-teethed mouth, ate them like cooked chicken, blood dripping from his mouth as he feasted on the torn breasts with his razor sharp teeth.
"Hungry…" the Hellspawn though, as he ate the last remaining torn breast of Alecto. So this is how it taste like, to eat the divine flesh of a deity, a Chthonic one, but still a deity.
Wiping the blood off of his mouth, he remembered what he was sent to do, and went on searching for Hades so he can kill the pale fucker.
He found himself face to face with a giant three-headed, serpent-tailed Hellhound called Cerberus, who growled at the Hellspawn, albeit a little bit fearful towards the Elite Demon.
Crouching low, the Hellspawn felt his muscular legs bulge up as he felt it strengthen his lower body for a lunged flight towards the son of Typhon's middle mouth and through the serpent tail's mouth, killing the three-headed beast instantly, with blood spraying violently out of its respective mouths.
Wiping the blood off of his body with a single spin, the Hellspawn continued onwards, finding himself to the doors that lead to Hades' throne room. But there was one problem: Thanatos, son of Erebus, Primordial God of Darkness, and Nyx, Primordial Goddess of the Night, brother to the Primordial Gods of the Upper Sky and Day, Aether and Hemera, and the God of Death itself, was guarding the door.
When the Death God saw the Hellspawn approach him, he called on his scythe, it's hilt made of Stygian Iron and the blade made of Adamantine, and pointed it at the black, green-eyed creature.
"Halt!" Thanatos said. "Who goes there?"
"Your death." the Hellspawn said. "Unless you want to live, I suggest you let me through. Otherwise, you'll never live to see tomorrow. And before you say anything else, my Necroplasm has the power to cut through immortality, killing deities like you for good. So if you value your life, let me pass, and you won't have to worry about what I'm about to do to you if you won't let me through the doors of your master."
"Over my corpse." the God of Death said. "I'd rather send you to Tartarus then let you lay a hand on my Lord and Queen. The way you say your words, you have the intention of committing deicide. I will never let you through."
"Pity." the Hellspawn sighed. "Plus, your scythe looks rather wicked and intimidating, the perfect weapon for death itself. To me, it looks so beautiful I want it for myself."
"You want my scythe that badly?" Thanatos swirled his scythe in perfect skill, before he took a battle stance. "Come and get it, if you can."
The Hellspawn clenched his firsts, readying himself. "Your move."
And so the god of Death charged, so does the Hellspawn.
Hades sat on his throne with his niece-wife, Persephone, Goddess of Spring, who put her hand on top of his when she saw her uncle-husband gain a rather unsettling look.
"My husband, what's wrong?" Persephone asked.
"i'm sensing a rather disturbance." Hades answered. "I felt the Erinyes loose their life energy, meaning they're…dead."
"Dead?" Persephone's eyes widened. "But that's impossible! They're immortal, just like us Gods!"
"I know, my lovely wife." Hades said. "Something, someone, is doing what's been impossible for hundreds of years. Ouranos' genitals was cut off and sliced to pieces by his own son, but isn't truly dead. We sliced our own father to pieces for his cruelty towards us, scattering his remains in Tartarus, but still immortal. I sense whoever is there, outside my thrown room, fighting Thanatos, has the power to cut through our immortality and kill us for sure. But what kind of power I do not know."
Then suddenly, the doors were blown to pieces and the green fiery blast that blew them were blasted towards the King and Queen of the Underworld.
"Persephone, get down!" Hades yelled, before he and his niece-wife ducked, but were blown off by the impact of the fiery blasts at were aimed towards their respective thrones, with some large rubbles laying on top of them.
The one who blasted the doors apart was none other than the Hellspawn, with the scythe of Thanatos in his right hand, and the corpse of the God of Death grabbed by the throat on his left hand, the latter's body drained of energy and lifeless without blood, as if he was drained of it.
Letting go of the deceased God of Death, and dissipated the scythe in green flames, the Hellspawn looked at the downed forms of Hades and Persephone, as the Elite Demon marched towards their unconscious bodies. Looking between the two of them, he walked towards Persephone, ignoring the marched footsteps of those residing in the Underworld, and picked up the Underworld Queen bridal style.
The Hellspawn looked down at the unconscious Queen, who is slowly regaining it, and when she looked at who was carrying her, she gasped.
Hecate, Charon, Hypnos, Eurynomos and Achlys came into view to see what was going on, and what they saw made them gasp in shock and horror.
The Hellspawn was eating Persephone to death in the stomach, Ichor and some intestines dropping off the ground, the sound of flesh was munched and bit off could be felt extremely sickening, as Persephone's right leg and arm fell out of their sockets, making the Hellspawn's shoulder serpents pick and eat them up.
Melinoe, Princess of the Underworld and daughter of Hades and Persephone, had came into view to see what was going on, only to see a black-clad monster eat her mother as if she was made of chicken. The Goddess of Ghosts could only stare in horror as the green-eyed monster feasted on her mother's corpse, tears swelling out of her eyes. She looked at the unconscious form of her father, laying there on large pebbles, and there was only one thing she can do.
"FATHER!" Melinoe screamed. "PLEASE, WAKE UP!"
The Hellspawn stopped feasting on the corpse of Persephone, and looked at Melinoe's direction. The Ghost Goddess clapped her mouth with her hands, staring at the horrific creature in fear.
Letting go of the deceased Spring Goddess, the Hellspawn quickly rushed at the Underworld Princess with great speed, pinning her against the wall.
"The Princess!" Eurynomos exclaimed, as he charged at the foul creature, along with Hypnos, whom the latter was eager to avenge his brother.
"No!" Melinoe said, her face begging. "Please don't come any closer!"
But it was too late, for the Hellspawn's shoulder serpents lunged at the two Chthonic Gods, biting through their chests and tore out their hearts, killing the Sleep God and the Daemon instantly, their torn hearts eaten by the serpents.
Hades finally managed to wake up at the sound of his daughter calling him, getting the rubbles off of him, but when he saw broke his heart and tore his world apart.
Persephone, his beloved Queen, lay dead, her stomach eaten along with her guts, and her right leg and arm missing, her Ichor spilling all over the ground, as well as coming out of her mouth, her eyes rolled up so that he couldn't see her lifeless eyes.
And the Hellspawn was responsible for all of this, and now, looking at the monster's direction, he was pinning his own daughter to the wall, preparing to give her the same fate he gave to her mother.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" the God of the Underworld roared in rage and grief, alerting the Hellspawn with his presence, as the monster harshly shoved his daughter aside and looked at the eldest son of Kronos' direction.
Hades' nostrils flared in a rage, tears steaming across his cheeks, and without looking at his fellow inhabitants, said. "Hecate, Achlys, get my daughter out of here, and leave Greece for good."
"But my Lord-" Hecate tired to say, but Hades would have none of it.
"NOW!"
Startled for a moment, the Titaness did as her Lord commanded, and teleported to Melinoe's front, grabbing her by the shoulders she teleported them to Achlys' direction, the latter grabbing the Underworld Princess by the right shoulder, as the two Chthonic Gods escorted Melinoe out of here, as the Ghost Goddess looked at her dead mother for the last time.
Hades summoned his armor, the Helmet of Darkness, and his Bident, with the Hellspawn summoning Thanatos' stolen scythe, the blade glowing electric green.
"You have a lot of nerve coming here, monster." Hades spat. "You show up out of nowhere in MY domain, killing MY servants, and worst of all, feasting on MY beloved wife like roasted chicken! When I'm done with you, you will rue your existence, and join my father in the lowest depths of Tartarus inside his belly!"
"Empty threat from a petty God." the Hellspawn sneered. "All Gods are the same. They scheme, they lie, they kill for their own twisted amusement. It will be you lot who will rue your existences, and when I'm done with every last one of you, every mortal in Greece shall forget you ever lived, nothing but a bunch of made up Myths."
Hades' veins bulged in his neck, his face purple with pure rage. "I WILL SCATTER YOUR ENTRAILS TO THE FIERY PITS OF HELL!"
"I AM HELL!"
Giving out their own war cries, the God of the Underworld and the Hellspawn charged at each other, their blades clashing as the Underworld shook at their engaged battle.
Somewhere, in the majestic city of Atlantis, stood Poseidon.
He was sitting on his throne, deep in boredom. Perhaps he should fine some pretty women to fuck with, 'cuz after all, who would deny the beauty they posses?
Sure, they may not be as beautiful as his wife, but they can still be entertaining for him.
Amphitrite wouldn't mind, 'cuz she knew she couldn't go against him without her father declaring a loosing war against him and his fellow Olympians coming to aid.
But before he could process any further, an explosive earthquake shook his palace from the distance, causing him to get up in alert.
"What is going on here!?" the Sea God asked. He got out of his palace, and saw what was going on.
Buildings were on fire that are colored green, men, women and children laying in the pools of their own blood, and all it all, what the King of Atlantis saw was a massacre.
"What is this madness!?" Poseidon demanded.
"Perhaps I can help you with that." a demonic voice was heard as Poseidon turned around, and saw none other than the Hellspawn himself, holding what appears to be Hades' Bident, the blade radiating green.
That could mean…
"How is this possible?" Poseidon asked. "No God can be killed by the likes of you! What have you done to my brother!?"
"I killed him with the power of my Necroplasm that can cut through your overrated immortality." the Hellspawn simply said. "After I feasted on his whore-wife, that is."
"You bastard!" the Sea God roared.
"All Gods are the true bastards around here." the Demon sneered. "Once I'm through with you, I'll destroy everything you've built here in this overrated city."
"Overrated!?" Poseidon's turned purple in a rage. "I'll show you overrated!"
The God of the Seas summoned his Celestial Bronze Trident, radiating a sea blue glow. The Hellspawn then summoned Thanatos' scythe in his left hand as well, and the two intimidating figures charged at each other, shaking the whole city with their clashed blades.
Meanwhile, those who survived the slaughter where being escorted by Prince Triton leading the men, with his mother, Queen Amphitrite, leading the women.
Back on track, Poseidon and the Hellspawn fought an intense battle, trying to slash and stab each other, throwing buildings at each other, trading punches and kicks, trying to blast each other into oblivion wit htier respective elemental powers, making Atlantis an even bigger ruin, before the Hellspawn finally managed to grab and throw Poseidon at the top of the tower.
Poseidon explodes the top of the tower he was thrown inside, clearing the area as he looked down on the Hellspawn in sneering anger.
"This is your so-called Necro-whatever power?" Poseidon gave the Elite Demon an unimpressed look.
"Come closer and you'll find out." the Hellspawn gave the Sea God a cocky smirk.
"I'll wipe that disgusting smirk off your ugly face!" Poseidon lunged at the Hellspawn, firing Godly blasts that the Demon blocked with his arms, before he grabbed the Sea God that came closer to him, stopping dead tracks with his feet as the Hellspawn took hold of his wrists.
Poseidon grunted, trying to get the Hellspawn off of him as he struggled to get off of the Demon's grip.
Seeing this opportunity, the Hellspawn laughed menacingly, before his muscular back bulged in power as he then stretched Poseidon's arms separately, causing the Sea God to grunt in slight pain as his wrists were being held firmly tight like a vice.
Then the Hellspawn broke Poseidon's right hand, before squeezing the left one so hard that Ichor came out of the Sea God's fingers, causing the latter to scream in pain before the Hellspawn retracted his head and headbutted him hard on the face, breaking the Olympian's nose.
With what little willpower he has left, Poseidon summoned water from one of the torn architectural buildings their clash destroyed.
"Heh!?" the Hellspawn looked at the small wave of water that separated in twelve blades, lunging at the Elite Demon who let go of Poseidon's right hand and allowed the water blades to impale his right lower arm.
The Hellspawn grunted before looking down at Poseidon's legs, before he swiped the right one with his own, making Poseidon fall down.
"Wha!?" the Sea God whimpered, as those were his final words before the Hellspawn infused his left fist with Necroplasm, punching Poseidon's stomach so hard that it created a bloody hole, destroying whatever gut Poseidon has, with the ground shaking violently as the Sea God coughed up one final Ichor before he finally dies for good.
Retracting his arm back, the Hellspawn looked down at Poseidon's fresh corpse, before looking at the bronze Trident that he immediately picked up, and giving it a spin, brought the lower tip down on the ground, causing the entire city of Atlantis to shake as it trembled before it was brought down, and thus the city of Atlantis was no more.
The Hellspawn sat on the top of Atlantis' ruin, looking down at the destruction he and the deceased Sea God caused in their clash.
That doesn't matter to him, what truly matters is that he would get the answers of why that old bastard Zeus threw him to Hell.
And he'll kill every last divine scumbags if it means getting to that revelation.
Suddenly he heard footsteps.
"What's this?" the Hellspawn asked. "More Gods getting in my way only to be slain be the likes of me? If so, than prepare for your-"
"I have also despised the Gods for what they've done to me." a female voice was heard. Curious, the Hellspawn turned to face a woman, but it wasn't an ordinary woman.
Her skin color is olive, but what really stands out to her are the snakes that basically serves as her hair, especially when she has the eyes of one. She wore a black tunic as well, as well as serving black lips.
"Who are you?" the Hellspawn asked suspiciously, while for some reason, felt like a butterfly was flapping in his heart.
"I am who have come to congratulate you for killing that bastard for raping me, for letting that jealous bitch Athena have her way with me by turning me into who I am today: A Gorgon."
"Gorgon?"
"Half serpent, half female. I wasn't always like this, for I was once one of the most beautiful women in all of Greece, the sole reason why people came to Athena's temple to gaze at my beauty. The Goddess I once had a pedestal was secretly jealous of me, and the moment Poseidon took my virginity, she used this as an excuse to turn me into a Gorgon like my sisters, Stheno and Euryale, for unlike them, my serpent gaze turns those who so much as glance at me becomes stone. From that day on, I have always despised her, even more when she and her brother Hermes send that so-called hero Perseus to slay me, and use my head as a weapon."
"My condolences on your tragedy." the Hellspawn said. "Since I have killed Poseidon, I promise that Athena will be next, as well as the other Gods who would stand in my way, for Zeus shall be the last if he doesn't give me the answer I now seek."
The Gorgon chuckled. "Oh, I know you will. In fact…" she gestured towards an army of skeletal soldiers with spears and shields in their hands, while also carrying swords on their left hip. "I've brought along the warriors of the Underworld as soon as I have heard of the destruction you caused to Atlantis after killing Poseidon. They are, in fact, now under your controls since I've heard you killed Hades as well."
The Hellspawn summoned his the Bident of Hades, and when he raised it in the air, the soldiers of the Underworld knelt before him.
"Interesting…" the Hellspawn mused, before he turned to the Gorgon. "You are welcome in my crusade against Olympus then, for I admittedly need allies in order to conquer the lands of Greece and destroy everything those idiotic mortals built for the petty Olympians."
"Don't worry, my family has that covered." she said. "Say, since we are now allies with a common cause against the petulant Gods, I think it's time we introduce ourselves. Be a gentleman and state your name so I can tell you mine."
"I…" the Hellspawn paused. "I don't remember my name. Honestly, the first thing I remembered was when Zeus threw to me Hell, and I found myself under the service of my new father, Lord Malebolgia, becoming one of his Hellspawn Generals."
"Malebolgia, Hellspawn…" the Gorgon mused. "Those words are new to me, and you say you don't remember you own name? What about your old father, since you told me about your new one, this Malebolgia?"
"I honestly don't know." said the Hellspawn. "Father Malebolgia told me I'd get the answer if I agree to become one of his new children."
"Well then, at least let me see the face of the Hellspawn who avenged my rape by Poseidon." the Gorgon said, leaning forward in anticipation. "I can tell that you are covered by some black goo, hiding your true face."
"I am covered by a what is called a symbiote, a Demonic parasite that serves of my newest uniform, my special suit. But if you truly want to gaze at my true self, then you have your wish."
The symbiote unraveled the Hellspawn's full-headed mask, it's goo covering his razor sharp teeth and full green eyes, before it dissipated down to his neck, revealing a young man with olive skin like the Gorgon's, raven black hair and electric green eyes.
The Gorgon immediately gasped the moment she gazed at the Hellspawn's mortal face. "By Tartarus, it can't be…"
"What can't be?" the Hellspawn asked in confusion.
"The survivors of the Gods' wrath told me you were dead…thrown down the mountain's pool." tears fell down her face as she covered her mouth, much to the Hellspawn's new found concern.
"Are you…okay-"
The Hellspawn was then immediately assaulted by the Gorgon who wrapped her arms around his chest, squeezing hard. "By Tartarus, it really is you! You're alive!"
"I'm alive? Like, you know of me? Who are you?"
"Don't you remember me, Raenius?" the Gorgon let go of him, as she gestured towards herself. "It's me, Medusa! The girl you always hung out with when we were children!"
The Hellspawn felt like an arrow his his heart, as memories begin to overwhelm him as he clutched his head, before he something that instantly made him recognize two things.
The first was a young boy wearing a white tunic, and the moment the Hellspawn saw him, he realized who that boy was.
That boy, was undeniably him when he was but a child.
The second was that his younger self was happily chasing a giggling girl, who had waving black hair and sea blue eyes.
However, for some reason, the Hellspawn recognized that girl.
That girl was…
"M-Medusa…?" the Elite Demon asked as he regained his surroundings, looking at the Gorgon who had a beautiful smile on her face that he instantly remembered as well.
The Gorgon, now revealed to be Medusa, was all too happy that the boy she loved has finally returned to her, and whoever this Malebolgia is, she couldn't help but mentally thank him.
"Oh, Raenius!" Medusa wrapped her arms around the Demon's neck, and pressed her lips on to his, kissing him passionately.
The Hellspawn, now revealed to be Raenius, was at first caught off guard, but he instantly returned the gesture, before they separated for air.
"Oh, Raenius." Medusa moaned. "How I have this you so much."
"Me too, my love." Raenius said. "Me too."
"Again, thank you for killing that bastard Poseidon for me." the Gorgon said. "You have no idea how long I've waited for this, back then when I gave up hope beyond hope that he would die for what he did."
"And I gave you that wish." said the Hellspawn. "And I will also kill Athena for you, if that's what you also want."
"Yes. Oh, yes, how much I want it."
And they kissed again, happy that they are reunited, and this time no God on Mt. Olympus will do the apart again.
"What do you mean Hades and Poseidon were killed!?" demanded from none other than the King of Olympus himself, Zeus.
When news of his older brothers' deaths had reached his ears, Zeus was beyond lived. How could this be? They were the Gods! Surely nothing could kill them, or could it? That thought alone increased Zeus' infamous paranoia.
The one who told him of this was Hermes, who saw the events of Raenius and Poseidon's battle with the Hellspawn wielding Hades' Bident, indicating the God of the Underworld's death.
"I'm telling you, when that creature punched a hole in uncle Poseidon's chest, it seemingly killed him for real. When I went to the Underworld to find his soul, I saw Hades and Persephone dead as well. By Chaos, it's as if Persephone was eaten by that black, green-eyed creature. Aunt Demeter definitely won't take this well, I fear."
"Of course she won't…" Zeus frowned, knowing that Demeter would most likely be horrified if she ever saw her daughter killed like that. He can clearly imagine what it's like to have your own daughter eaten to death by some humanoid monster. Demeter would likely demand vengeance, so Zeus would gladly grant her that.
"Shall I alert the others lord father?" Hermes asked.
"Send them in." Zeus ordered, and so Hermes fled to call on the other Olympians, leaving Zeus to ponder on what to do with this new creature.
"If that creature can truly kill Gods like us, then what being would birth could a savage beast?" Zeus thought, not realizing what he will get as soon as he faces the creature himself.
Medusa had instantly introduced Raenius to her family in their newest headquarters, who were surprised to see that the Hellspawn was back from the dead, and when they asked how, Raenius told that of his new master and father, Malebolgia, Lord of the Eight Circle of Hell.
Phorcys put a hand on Raenius shoulder. "I am glad to see you have returned thanks to this Malebolgia you speak of. We all thought you gone thanks to that bastard Zeus, as well as the other four original Olympians."
"Four?" Raenius asked.
"Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, and Hera were also there with Zeus when they threw you into the lava." Ceto said. "My husband told us what happened, and we were devastated. You were like a son to us, and we knew that you and Medusa would be happy with each other as a couple, before those bastard Gods ruined everything. And worse of all, they turned some of our human children into monsters, like what Poseidon and Athena did to our little girl into becoming of who you see her now, before sending Perseus to finish the job."
Medusa looked down at the floor, a look of trauma clear on her face before Raenius placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, which earns him a grateful loving look from the Gorgon.
"That witch Circe turned our other girl Scylla into a monster all because she was jealous of Glaucus of being in love with our daughter and not her, placing her into the Sea of Monsters with Charybdis as comapny who was turned into a monster by her stepmother Amphitrite out of petty jealousy all because she's Poseidon's bastard daughter." Ceto continued. "Poseidon send our son Cetus to devour a girl named Andromeda before Perseus used Medusa's head to turn him to stone. That Atlantean bastard also raped Thoosa into giving birth to that disappointing blind cannibal Polyphemus. All the suffering the Gods and their descendants caused, all the pain we've been through, it is all their fault! What did we do to deserve this torment!?"
Ceto started weeping, as Phorcys began to comfort his sister-wife.
"Your right." Raenius said. "It is all the Gods' fault, and every last one of them will pay for what they did. I killed Poseidon for you, avenging all the suffering he put your daughters through." he turned to Phorcys. "What about Circe?"
"She will be dealt with as well." the Grandfather of all Monsters said. "But first, I have to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Do you know who your father was?"
"No." Raenius said. "I wasn't told of him. Why now?"
"What I'm about to tell you will shake you to the core." Phrocys said. "Raenius, your father is none other than Kronos, the King of the Titans, making the Olympians your half-siblings."
Raenius was wide-eyed and jaw dropped at the same time, the revelation indeed shaking him to his core. "Kronos…my father…him of all people…and Zeus, my brother…why that cannibal of all people!?"
"Because after Zeus freed his and your siblings from Kronos' stomach, the Titan King was in such a foul mood that he beat his wife and Queen Rhea to a pulp, before raping two women. One gave birth to your other half-sibling, Chiron the Centaur, and your mother especially."
"So the reason the Gods who happens to be my half siblings threw me to Hell is all because I'm a bastard born of rape!?" Raenius was now in a fit of anger, his hatred towards the Olympians increasing, especially at the Titan who is now revealed to be his father. "They had no right! And what happened to my mother!?"
"She's dead, Raenius." Medusa said. "She was killed in cold blood by your stepmother Rhea, who was the one to find out about you and told it to her children, and after they killed you, the Titan Queen murdered your mother in cold blood. Oh, Raenius, we're so sorry. We tried, but the Gods were too powerful."
Raenius' raging roar, along with the loud hissings of his shoulder serpents, could be felt across all of Greece.
After gathering the other Olympians (minus Poseidon who had been killed), Zeus immediately called for the council to sit down.
"You have my thanks for bringing the others to this council, Hermes." Zeus nodded in acknowledgment, as the Messenger of Olympus took a seat. "Now then, you all wonder why I have summoned you all to this meeting, so I'll explain: The Erinyes, Thanatos, Persephone, Hades, and Poseidon have been all killed."
"WHAT!?" Demeter screeched as word got out of Zeus' mouth. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY DEAR KORE HAS BEEN KILLED!?"
"I can confirm, aunt Demeter." Hermes said. "After I say uncle Poseidon laying dead (no, I ain't kidding when I say he's truly dead), I went to retrieve his soul when I found the Erinyes, Thanatos, Eurynomos, Hypnos and Persephone (whom you oh so preciously call Kore) all dead. As for what do father mean she's dead, it's as if some beast ate her for lunch, and trust me, I saw that for myself."
"My baby…eaten by a monster…" Demeter sobbed, tears falling off her eyes at the mere thought of being all alone without her precious Kore.
Hera looked at her sister in pity. She had once hated Persephone all because she's her husband's bastard daughter, but grew to respect her as a fellow Queen. She had once thought of apologizing to her for her cruelty (after Demeter had confronted her for treating her dear Kore like dirt), but when she had once again found out of her husband's affair like she always does, she never had the time to being properly genuine about it. Now after hearing of Persephone's horrible fate, she felt nothing but guilt for treating the poor little Goddess like she's nothing to her.
Her thoughts were cut off when her older sister had began to rage, her screams echoing across all of Olympus, causing the Olympian Queen to cover her ears rather hard, as does the other Olympians.
"THIS WILL NOT STAND FOR IT! I DEMAND THAT THAT BASTARDLY BEAST BE BROUGHT HERE BEFORE ME SO THAT I CAN CUT THAT ABOMINATION INTO PIECES!"
"You will have your vengeance, dear sister." Hera assured Demeter, attempting to calm her older sister down. "Put please think cautiously."
"The Queen is right." Athena spoke. "If this 'abomination' manages to kill both Hades and Poseidon, then we must think of a strategy in order to take it down."
"Bah!" Ares scoffed. "Who gives a damn about your damn 'strategies'? All we gotta do is outfight this beast and hang his head atop Olympus, as it'll be known what happens when some abomination dares to defy the will of Gods!"
Zeus mentally faced palmed at his least favorite son's stupidity.
Athena glared at the War God. "Have you not heard of what father said? It killed uncles Hades and Poseidon, two of the most powerful of Gods after father, and you want to go and sentence yourself to death by fighting this creature?"
"Better than listening to your boring plans!" Ares spat. "We don't need plans. We don't need each other, 'cuz if I had to bet, you are obviously glad that your bitter rival is dead 'uz the least said about him, the better. As for aunt Demeter, with Hades dead her precious Kore would finally be free of her 'evil' brother's clutches, but nooooo, her baby girl had to killed as well!"
Demeter glared at her nephew in a fury, preparing to get up and beat the snot out of her little sister's shit of a son, before Hera stopped her.
"That is far enough, son." Hera gave her son a fierce glare. "Unless you want you father to start banishing you to Olympus, I suggest you mind your tongue."
"Fine." Ares murmured bitterly.
"So what do we do about this…beast?" Apollo asked.
"You and your sister will find and hunt him down like the dog it is." Zeus said. "We have had enough problems for hundreds of years. First the Titans, then the Gigantes, then Typhon, now this? I have had enough of threats these days."
"Alright then, when will we begin father?" Artemis asked.
"Right now-" Zeus was interrupted by a booming noise that could only be heard from the mortal realm. "What is going one here!?"
The Olympians got up from their respective thrones to see what was going on in the mortal world, and what they saw shocked them.
They saw mortals being slaughtered by an army of skeletons, butchering whatever lay before them, be it man, woman, or child.
"By the creator…" Aphrodite put a hand on her mouth. "The mortals are being slaughtered like sheep!"
"But who is leading them?" Hephaestus asked. "I don't see anything peculiar."
Just then the ground beneath them shook wildly, catching the Olympians off balance, before a green explosion erupted before them, blowing up the large palace as large debris' crashed down on them, knocking them unconscious.
The one who did that was none other than Raenius the Hellspawn, who used his new found army of the dead to distract the Olympians so that he can get them one by one.
And it seems that they have miraculously survived as well. Whatever, he's gonna finish them once and for all and avenge all the wrong doings they committed on Earth.
Slowly, the Olympians regained consciousness, and the moment they saw the Hellspawn, they were instantly alerted.
"It's him! The whatever that thing is!" Hermes pointed at Raenius.
"He's mine!"' Ares bellowed as he charged at Raenius, sword raised up high.
"Ares, wait!" Athena yelled, but it was too late.
"I am Ares, the God of Wa-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" before he could finish his sentence, Raenius' shoulder serpents fired a large green energy blast that incinerated Ares, killing the God of War for good.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Hera wailed at the loss of her son.
Hephaestus charged at the Hellspawn with his flaming hammer before he swung it down, which the Hellspawn easily sidestepped before grabbing the Smith God's face before blasting it to pieces with his green hellfire, as he took the hammer of the now deceased Hephaestus as a trophy.
Hera did not have time to react upon seeing her other son's death, before Raenius swung his hammer that's embedded with green energy, smashing the Queen of Olympus' head apart as Ichor, brains and skull pieces splattered on the ground.
Demeter was horrified of what she saw, but then she remembered her Kore's death as she screeched in rage, swinging her golden scythe wildly at the Hellspawn.
Raenius summoned his weapons and blacked Demeter's attack, and the two clashed blades before Raenius came on top, slicing Demeter in two with Thanatos' scythe.
Hermes then came to Raenius at maximum speed, hitting the Hellspawn as the Elite Demon struggled to catch him. That is, until Raenius finally managed to grab the Messenger God by the right arm with his left hand after quickly feeling Hermes' punch, before placing his hands on the God of Speed's head, squeezing the son of Maia's skull.
In desperation, Hermes unleashed barrages of punches that didn't get any effect on the Hellspawn, as the Elite Demon continue to put pressure on Hermes' head, before his left eye popped out.
Screaming in agony, the Messenger of Olympus tried to this time punch Raenius harder, breaking his hands in the process, and with one final pressure, the Hellspawn crushed the Speed God's skull, spraying blood all over the Demon's face!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Apollo yelled as he saw his best friend being brutally murdered by that black Demon, and in a fit of rage, fired a fiery golden arrow that Raenius instantly caught with his fingers, before sending it back to Apollo's head, killing the Sun God instantly.
Artemis screamed in rage before firing her own silver arrow, and yet again Raenius reacted fast enough to catch it, sending it back to the Moon Goddess' neck, decapitating her head.
The Elite Demon then heard something from above, and saw that it was Dionysus trying to attack him from the sky. Unfortunately, the Hellspawn caught the Wine God's foot and slammed him down hard, before slamming the God of Madness again so hard that blood and brains came out of his head.
Raenius flung the deceased Wine God at Aphrodite, whom the Love Goddess caught on instinct, before she reeled back in fright letting go of Dionysus' corpse, screeching before Raenius' fist slammed through her head, letting out parts of her brain and skull fractures.
"By the creator." Athena whispered as she takes in the horror this beast just committed on Olympus. So it was true, this creature has the power to kill Gods like her and father. If father doesn't do something, all of Olympus is doomed for eternity.
Then Raenius turned towards the Goddess of Wisdom, glaring at her in a frozen place.
Despite feeling a chill go down her spine, Athena refuses to back down. "I don't know who you are, but you will not destroy Olympus! It is the center of the civilization of Greece!"
"Pathetic." the Hellspawn said, catching Athena off guard by his spoken words. "All you petty Gods do is torment Humans all because they were inferior to you. All of you had no right for that. So I'm stripping you all of your rights, so that the Humans can move on without you."
Athena's face morphed in great anger. "Who are you, judging the I, Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Warfare!?"
"Your worst fucking nightmare." Raenius said in a low, dangerous tone.
With a war cry Athena charged at the Hellspawn, with the Elite Demon following suite.
Meanwhile, Zeus was the last Olympian to regain consciousness before he slowly moved up, regaining his surroundings, and when he did, he was horrified of what he saw.
His family, the Twelve Olympians, were all killed off like sheep to the slaughter. And what he also saw destroyed his world.
Raenius held Athena firmly by the throat, absorbing her divine life force as he stared daggers at the Olympian King.
"No…no…no!" Zeus finally stood firm in his legs, glaring at the Hellspawn in pure anger. "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Raenius was unfazed by Zeus' bellowing of rage, merely shrugging it off like it's no big deal.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Zeus screamed. "HOW DARE YOU MURDER MY BELOVED WIFE, MY MOON PRINCESS, AND MY WAR MUFFIN!? WHO ARE YOU TO DEFY THE WILL OF GODS, THE WILL OF ZEUS!?"
The Hellspawn responded by unraveled his face, causing Zeus to gasp in shock and horror.
"No…i-it can't b-be…"
"Oh, it's true indeed." Raenius said. "I am the same boy you threw into Hell."
"But…b-but how…?"
"You can thank my new father, Malebolgia, for it was he who gave me my new-found powers. Tell me, what gave you the right to throw an innocent boy into a fucking lava for obviously no reason at all? But I get it now, for it's all because I'm the bastard son of you're father, brother, and the reason you were able to track me down is thanks to your bitch of a mother, that same bitch who murdered mine."
"You stay away from my mother!" Zeus yelled.
"Oh, don't worry, brother, I won't kill her. In fact, I'm going to make her suffer by killing you, her precious baby boy, the same baby boy who rapes for his own sick pleasure! The Humans have lived in the shadows of the Gods for long enough, the Age of Olympus has come to an end, right here!"
Zeus roared in rage, before he absorbed the essence of his deceased family, allowing him to becoming stronger than before.
Raenius looked rather unimpressed.
After finishing absorbing the deceased Olympians' essence, Zeus floated in the air, opening his eyes to see that they were completely electric blue. "I am Zeus! Fear me!"
"My face will be the last thing you'll see before I kill you for good!" Raenius jumped at his half-brother, and clashed with the King of Olympus.
Their clash began tearing apart half of Greece, killing some Humans in there, but they didn't care. All they care, is ending one's life once and for all. Those who survived were finished off by the army of the dead.
The clash continued until, unfortunately for Raenius, Zeus took the top and slammed the Elite Demon to the ground.
Zeus landed his feet on Raenius' back, and gripped the shoulder snakes. "This is what happens when you defy the will of Zeus!"
With one heave, Zeus tore off the shoulder snakes, causing Raenius to roar in pain.
Zeus laughed in mockery. "After I'm done with you, whoever conspired with you shall be sentenced to Tartarus! This is what happens to those who so much as dares defy the will of Zeus!"
Suddenly, Raenius got back up and kicked Zeus off of him. "You are nothing but a heartless, monstrous bastard who will regret the day he was born into this cruel world!"
"I AM KING!" Zeus lunged at Raenius and punched a hole in through the Hellspawn's stomach. Sneering, he looked up to see if the Demon felt some semblance of pain. He found none, for Raenius was glaring daggers at Zeus. "What!?"
Raenius had taken advantage of Zeus' impulsive action, and so held a firm grip on the arm before punching his older half-brother in the face.
Punch after punch it was slow, but hard, until suddenly the punches became rapidly fast, each time harder than before, slowly breaking Zeus' face.
Another punch completely broke the Olympian King's nose, as Ichor came pouring out like a river. "H-How…?"
"RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" the final punch from Raenius destroyed Zeus' face like a hammer onto a nut, blood, brains and skull fractures spraying on the floor.
At long last, Raenius finally has his revenge. Zeus is dead, and all those who had blindly worshipped him are exterminated. At long last, he felt at peace.
"So, you've finally done it, haven't you?" a female voice called from behind.
Raenius quickly turned to see who said that, and his Necro-blood boiled when he recognized the woman.
Rhea, Queen of Othrys, and mother to that bastard Zeus. She had a neutral expression on her face, but it is clear that she had shed tears after seeing her youngest son dead by her stepson.
Silence filled the air on the destroyed plain grounds of Greece, until Raenius walked past his stepmother, saying absolutely nothing at all.
Rhea knew what that meant, and shed a few more tears, remorse clearly written all over his face. All she ever wanted was to protect her children from the cruelty of Raenius' father, and once he's fianlly gone for good in Tartarus, she had let them go, thinking that they can take care of themselves and bring a better order than the Titans. But, what they did to these pitiful mortals had made them no better than the their father. Rhea had denied it several times, despite the fact that she got an innocent child killed all because her husband cheated on her. When she finally revealed to her eldest child Hestia of what she did, the Goddess of the Hearth made it clear that she doesn't want to look at her mother ever again, stating that every God that died that day, every God who survived only to live in mortal misery, their blood was on her hands, meaning, she killed her own children by causing Raenius to come back to kill her babies out of vengeance.
And now, she had lost everything, all because that one single action that had made her no better than Kronos.
She fell on her knees and wept, as Raenius the Hellspawn reunited with his allies, leaving his stepmother to rot in her grief.
The End
