Zues' eyes widened with surprise and anger, his attention turning towards Frey. [What's the meaning of this!?]
As Merlin and Eugene were being freed from their chains by Frey's comrades, he spoke with a frown on his expression, drawing his sword as an act of defiance. "You didn't come here to give us strength! You're just frauds trying to leech off of us!"
[What has this serpent said to you!? You're being corrupted by his—]
"Corrupted?" Frey interrupted with an amused huff, disbelief clear in his tones. "You still have the audacity to lie? This snake you told us to kill is none other than one of humanity's greatest heroes! Without him, we would've fallen to the monsters 'you' gods sent to us in the first place!"
[...What?] Zeus turned towards Theodore, who was staring down at him coldly with his unwavering golden eyes. [Who are you...?]
[Theodore Varon.] The serpent replied, his voice low and chilling just like his gaze. [Once humanity's first line of defense, The Winter Frost Mage.]
Without letting Zeus say anything in return, Theodore conjured up a magic circle, it gleamed an emerald green as claws appeared from it and swatted the god away as if he was nothing but a rag doll, the motion sent him flying through the pillar and out into the open area below the temple.
[Leave. Now.] Theodore said to the humans before moving his body, a slight thrash managing to create a hole large enough for him to slither through, although this caused the structure of the building to become unstable, and soon the ceiling began to crumble down onto them.
"Theo! Kick his ass!" Merlin shouted one last time as he was picked up effortlessly by Eugene before disappearing into the darkness along with the rest of Frey's team.
Frey however, stayed behind, he didn't fret about the whole collapsing building at all. "Do you need help?"
[No, all you need to do for me is tell the world the real truth.]
Not leaving any room for protest, Theodore quickly slithered out through the large hole he'd made, landing on the coastal area where Zeus was just about to get up from a crater on the ground.
The lightning god had an angry look on his face as sparks flew from his figure. [You dare defy me, the King of Olympus!?]
[Oh shut up.] Theodore released his domain, immediately causing the entire area to freeze up and stretch towards the ocean, creating an area made of ice. [You got greedy, and now you'll fall.]
[Silence, serpent!] With a rumble of thunder, a lightning bolt struck down from the sky and landed directly onto Theodore, engulfing his entire form. Zeus let out a booming laugh as he watched, sure that his mighty attack would kill him in an instant. [You are nothing more but a lucky monster! Compared to us gods, you're only a tiny bug standing in our way!]
['Equality' has been activated!]
When the lightning disperse, Theodore was still standing with his head perked up high, staring down at the god with a prideful glint in his gazes. [That's what they all say before I kill them.]
With that snarky remark, Theodore cast another spell.
[Impale.]
Just as a snow storm began to brew around the two of them, icicle spikes rose from the floor and headed towards Zeus, each one looking to pierce him from underneath.
Even as he tried to weave around and dodge with his lightning-quick flight, the spears always seem to know where he's heading next and would cut him off, leaving him to choice but to let himself get surrounded before releasing a powerful aura of electricity and destroying the icicles, ending the spell's duration.
