"Finally!" said Adam to himself, turning into his divine form to match Zeus’s on his godly form, this time however his form was different, he looked normal, no armor, just Adam but bigger, showing Adam was not using his outer heritage for this battle. "I expected nothing less from the king of the heavens!"
Zeus roared in anger, Adam complimenting him was an insult greater than anything, moving at full speed, Zeus reached Adam, ready to strike the young god with full force using his right fist. Adam easily dodged it by leaping over the thunder god, who blew away a good half of the entire Olympus with his attack, the thunder god packed quite a punch.
Zeus turned as fast as he could to deliver a violent thunder attack to his opponent, but Adam, being faster, slipped under his arm and delivered an arcane blast to his face. Already annoyed, the king of Olympus wanted to counter Adam's attack, but Adam did not give him time, throwing a violent right hook, followed by an explosion of pure mana in the pit of his stomach, but that did not end there, while Zeus recovered, Adam gave him a knee in the face, knocking Zeus back, followed by an explosion of fire to his side.
"Damn you!" Zeus shouted, as a storm of blows and spells fell upon him, Zeus was being overpowered by his opponent. Adam was simply not giving him time to react. Adam's mind was collected, and in control of his power.
Suddenly, Zeus screamed with fury, with such force that the very sky trembled. In that instant, where Adam stopped for a nanosecond his seemingly unstoppable storm of attacks, Zeus managed to grab Adam's wrist, who was about to deliver another blow. Adam realized his mistake and tried to hit him with his other hand, but Zeus easily parried the blow. With both hands trapped, Adam was at a disadvantage, "You fucking brat!" Zeus roared, and a second later, Adam received several terrible knee strikes from the Olympian king himself.
Delivering a final blow, Zeus hurled Adam out of the heavens with such force that he crossed half the planet in an instant, killing millions in the process. Adam recovered almost immediately, with tears in his eyes from the force of the blow, and with a smile said, "I almost thought this was going to be easy,” the young god said mostly to himself.
Zeus spat in Adam's direction, glaring hatefully at him, "Your death is written," the god declared.
"If I had a nickel for every time someone has said that to me... I'd have enough to buy a Pepsi," Adam replied in mockery, which caused the god of thunder to pounce on him. In an instant Adam dodged the god by teleporting behind him casting a spell from the dark void. The spell flew and hit the god in the back. Making him spit out some golden blood, Zeus who was not going to let Adam win easily, countered with a powerful lightning bolt. Adam, who had predicted this, dodged it, jumping over the attack, then it grabbed his arm and with all his strength used it as leverage to throw Zeus to the ground, "You owe me a Pepsi," Adam commented.
"Fuck you!" Zeus roared gasping for air.
“No,” Adam muttered, as he teleported behind Zeus once again, Zeus who had just recovered from his last attack, failed to notice the young god as pointed his outstretched hands in his direction, focusing a great amount of energy on them showing his demeanor had changed, for the sake of the upcoming attack, “Void Buster!”
“Wha---” Zeus muttered in shock, as a huge surge of dark power crashed into him with an explosive blast that not only sent him back to Olympus, but also destroyed the realm the Greek gods had defended for eons.
“I already destroyed the kingdom, now all I have to do… is kill the king,” Adam who had teleported back to what was left of Olympus mocked, as Zeus looked in despair as everything he had ever worked for crumbled before his eyes.
“You will pay for this,” Zeus said, in a rather calm tone, it was so out of tone for him, that Adam took a step back, “I will make sure of it,”
“I am already paying for this,” Adam chuckled, “More than you can possibly bill me for,”

[Apollo POV]
One moment I was sleeping and the next, I was awoken by… the destruction of Olympus, Adam had strike, I had to help father, I had to do my duty, “Summon the go--” My order was cut short, as an arrow almost pierced me, fortunately I managed to dodge just in time.
“You will not do anything,” Artemis, the one who had shot the arrow threatened, “I will fight you if I must, brother,”
“Artemis, Adam crossed a line, he destroyed our realm, our home! We have to stop him! Or innocents will die!” I shouted, why was she so adamant to hurt Adam, yes he was our little brother, but we barely knew him! For us he was but a blink in our life.
“Innocents?” Artemis laughed, “Please…. When did we start caring for… the innocent?” she mockingly asked, “Don’t answer that… is a rhetoric question, and the answer is never, for thousands of years, we have seen humans die… and we have done nothing, and to a certain degree… I was able to understand that, but then… we did the same to our own kind, our own family… demigods… we let them suffer unspeakable things, like Adam suffered… and yet, we did nothing, we let Adam burn in Tartarus… and then when proved innocent, we… were surprised he didn't like us anymore!! hahahah!”
“The rules kept us from doing anything,” I reminded her, “The rules were there for a reason,”
“Fuck the rules, fuck Olympus, and FUCK ZEUS!” Artemis cried in anger, “All my life, I tried to focus on the one thing I had control… doing my job… saving innocent girls… but what have I amounted to? Nothing…”
“And now you got altruistic?” I laughed, “Please… you have done as much damage to this world as us, or all those humans you turned into deer for hunting deserved it?”
“Yes, that is true…” Artemis nodded, “Which is why I support our little brother, Olympus has to fall… including me,”
“So be it,” I sighed, “I will defeat you, and then I will kill Adam, don’t worry… I will make sure his death is a quick one, I will ensure he avoids the suffering that awaits him of father’s hands,”
“Funny,” Artemis sighed, “That you think you can beat me, that is,”
