While Athena battled Hades in the shattered plaza beneath the broken throne, the rest of Olympus had become a warzone.
The floodwaters conjured by Poseidon still surged through the city, weaving through courtyards, temples, and divine halls. The once-pristine marble was cracked and blackened, soaked in divine ichor and shadowfire. The air reeked of ozone, sea salt, and burning ambrosia.
Above it all, the second wave of Nemesis forces had fully deployed.
Divine constructs—towering, golden-armored golems etched with crimson runes—marched through the lower tiers. Blades spun from their arms, and magical cores within their chests pulsed with stolen god-energy. Lesser deities enhanced by Hestia's Forge fought alongside them, their bodies glowing with raw power, immune to celestial spells
They clashed against the defenders of Olympus in brutal, close-quarters war.
