Won?

The dust settled, as the proud demigod Hercules stood with a victorious smile. At this point, Thebes and it's surroundings had been reduced to a wasteland, unable to support life, as tendrils of magma spilled out of the earth's core.

Hercules smiled, as he reverted back to his human form and arrived beside Ares, the God of War. "Well done Hercules, now retrieve him. It's time to go." Ares spoke with a smile.

"But my Lord, the damages, I fear the wrath of Mother Earth herself upon us." Hercules hesitated for a moment, before speaking.

"Your fear is justified my loyal servant, but my great grandmother will certainly not pursue such a small matter." Ares finished his statement, as Hercules nodded.

"And my Lord, what about the Spartan General?" He asked once more, as an annoyed look appeared on Ares' face. "I gave him what he wished for. A death befitting his prominence. A good death is surely its own reward." Ares spoke and began to levitate slowly.

Hercules nodded and began to walk to the massive hole in the heart of the earth where his last offspring lay.

*AARGHHHH!!!!*

Suddenly, another bestial roar reverberated, as the earth began to quake. The next moment, Astylos burst out of the ground, his body wrapped in a sheath of fiery magma.

Seeing Hercules' face right in front of him, painful memories seemed to resurface across his mind, as he grabbed his head and roared to the sky. Instantly, tendrils of green ferocious energy burst out of his body like missiles and assaulted Hercules who blasted into the sky with a single leap.

The next moment, a massive green energy cyclone wrapped around his body that seemed to reach into the heavens.

His hair turned golden, and his pupils disappeared, as his body increased in size once more. "Relentless fool!!" Hercules blasted towards Astylos in the midst of his transformation and smashed his fist forward.

How we the next moment, Astylos stretched his hand and caught his fist without the slightest effort.

"What in the name of Hera are you!!!" Hercules roared out, unable to free himself, as Astylos' fist was wrapped tightly around his his.

A mad grin formed over Astylos' face as he clenched his fist and unleashed a powerful punch right into Hercules' face.

*BOOM!*

The demigod was hurled backwards like a comet, as his body crashed to the ground causing an even large crater.

"Die!!!" Hercules erupted in a mad rage, his body encapsulated in endless energy as he broke the sound barrier in one leap, arrived before Astylos and smashed another fist forward.

Astylos did not even bother to block. He allowed the fist to crash into his face, as he took a step back, his leg digging deep into the earth. The next moment, he turned around swiftly, grabbed Hercules' outstretched arm and smashed him into the ground with immense force.

The earth quaked and split open, however, Astylos didn't stop there. He grabbed his father by his legs and repeatedly smashed his into the ground like a rag doll.

Every hit creating a crater so large, a mansion could fit into it. He jumped up into the sky, gathered all of his strength and smashed him down once more. The demigod of strength could only let out painful roars, as his son punished him in one of the worse ways possible.

His face was bloodied, and his bones creaked, a testament of the immense force his son was using to rag doll him around.

After being smashed into the ground repeatedly, his body lay on the ground almost breathless, but before he could relax, Astylos rained his fists onto his father's face; one fist at a time, repeatedly slamming his face deeper into the ground with every second.

Without a second of rest, he grabbed the demigod by the left arm and ripped it off, as blood spurted out like a fountain.

The demigod could only roar in pain, seeing his own son torture him to such extent, but all hope wasn't lost for him. "My Lord save me!!!" He opened his mouth that was filled with blood and roared out, as Astylos shoved his own arm right into his chest.

Olympus...

The chambers of the Goddess of Wisdom was filled with large shelves filled with an incomparably large number of scrolls which seemed to encompass the knowledge of the universe.

However, at the moment, the Goddess of Wisdom stood on her balcony, dressed in a pure white sleeveless robe. Her long dark hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her beautiful brown eyes seemed to see past the confines of Olympus.

Suddenly, a miraculous phenomenon occurred in a split second. Time itself came to a stop, as reality froze within a split second.

Within that moment, a figure dressed in a golden chiton wearing a pair of golden sandals with wings attached to each sides appeared in the twinkle of an eye. He wore a golden cowl on his head, and his body seemed to vibrate at speeds faster than light itself.

After he appeared, time returned to normal, as he slowly removed his cowl and walked to stand beside the Goddess of wisdom while he too admired the golden city with a small smile.

"You called for me, Athena." He spoke in a calm and collected voice, as his dark eyes glanced at the beautiful figure standing beside him.

"Thank you for heeding to my call Hermès. There is something I need your help with." Athena spoke and turned around, as she looked at Hermès solemnly.

"I see. I will do my very best." He said, as he placed his cowl back on his head.

.

Meanwhile within the main throne room of Olympus, the God king of Olympus, the High Father, Zeus sat in his regal throne with an ecstatic expression on his face.

His chiton was loosely tied,waving his thighs bare, as an oceanid nymph sat on her knees, in between his legs, with her face buried in his crotch.

"Zeus!!!!!" Suddenly, the doors to the throne room were opened by a massive burst of divine energy, as a figure entered with her eyes gleaming with horror.

The oceanid was instantly terrified, as a huge rod slid out of her mouth, however, with a single glare from the High father, she went back to her duty and buried her face in his crotch once more.

"What do you want woman?!!" Zeus roared in fury, his eyes gleaming with the might of cosmic thunder. "Your son Ares!! He-he!!" Her words were stuck within her throat, unable to communicate clearly. She had even ignored the fact that there was another woman who had her face buried in her husband's crotch at the moment.

"Tell me woman!! What did he do?!!" Zeus instantly stood up and fastened his chiton around his waist.

Hera could not speak, as she looked at Zeus with a pleading expression.

The High father walked out with anger filled eyes, as he walked to the balcony and his gaze peered down to the earth.

"Ares!!!" He roared out, the might of cosmic thunder booming throughout the cosmos, as the foundations of Olympus shook.

.

Meanwhile, on earth, the tides of the battle had taken a huge turn. Ares' clone was clad in a golden red armor, which was ripped in several places, and his hair was disheveled. In his hand was a long spear which had Astylos' figure skewered on it like a piece of meat.

Blood dripped down, as the clone of the God of War flashed a bloodied smile at Astylos whose face was morphed into that of pain. His body was returned to normal as was badly injured.

With a swing, he was sent flying by Ares' spear as he crashed into the ground.

Astylos was relentless. His eyes were filled fiery hope as he crawled to his knees.

Ares walked majestically to him and pointed his spear to the boy's throat about to end his life. However in a split second, time stopped completely, as a figure in a golden chiton, wearing a golden cowl mysteriously appeared in the twinkle of an eye and grabbed Astylos' figure and reappeared a few meters away.

Ares' spear pierced into nothing but air, as he turned around only to see the new figure with an unconscious Astylos in his arms.

"Hermes!!! You interfere with my plans!!! Are you tired of living?!!" Ares roared out, but Hermès before him only flashed a ridiculing smile. "If your real body was here, I would have allowed such cockiness, but a clone? You underestimate me brother!" Hermès spoke as his body began to vibrate at near light speed.

*ARES!!!!*

Just as both of them were about to clash, an angry roar that seemed to originate from the depths of the cosmos itself reverberated across the earth as Ares flashed a ridiculing smile. He walked to Hercules and grabbed him by the arm, before disappearing with the demigod in a swirl of flames.

Hermès sighed and picked up Astylos body, and shook his head seeing the level of destruction. "Who knew you would grow to such an extent in such a minuscule time span." Hermès smiled, seeing Astylos expression, before his body disappeared in a warp of space.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Also Hermès, Zeus and Hera are the same ones from the Blood of Zeus franchise.
