Krypton, before the explosion.
We can see a boy with blond hair in the training room, wearing a black Kryptonian outfit. He was standing in the middle of hundreds of destroyed robots.
* Clap! Clap! Clap! *
"As expected of you ... You destroyed 3957 robots in less than two minutes."
The boy looked towards the voice, with cold eyes and a noble aura, he said: "General Zod."
Zod gave a small smile and entered the training room. "You have progressed very fast again, in a few years, I will have nothing to teach you."
The boy looked at the robots that he destroyed with cold eyes. "This is not enough, war is not planned, war is chaotic."
"You are right ... But you are wrong too."
The boy looked at General Zod.
"War follows some small invisible rules that all beings of all races in the universe unconsciously use." Zod walked over to a destroyed robot.
The boy who was to be called Rao, in the future said: “Eliminate the enemy's highest-ranking authority, by doing so, you will gain an immense advantage over the opponent ... If elimination of that authority is not possible, you must eliminate strong people who are trusted by that authority, by doing so, the enemy will have fewer cards to use in the war. ”
Zod crouched down and started to open the broken robots. "As expected of you, but sometimes that is not enough." He spoke in a cold tone.
He looked at little Rao and spoke as he plucked the robot's head with immense force: "Sometimes, you must use fear."
"Fear?"
General Zod took the robot's head and placed it in front of Rao. "If the commander's elimination is not possible, you must put fear in your opponents, a fear so great that they will be confused and disorganized."
“But what about races like us? This tactic would not work with Kryptonians, after all, our feelings are almost nonexistent. ”
* Crack! *
Zod smashed the robot's head, and he smiled coldly: “This is something you have find out for yourself, I can't give you all the answers, right? You are a genius, eventually you will find out. ” He dropped the robot's head on the floor and walked towards the exit.
Zod looked at the blond-haired boy: “Remember, in war, you must always exploit the enemy's weaknesses ... Fear, guerrilla tactics, manipulation of information, poisons, murders, etc. You should use anything that gives you an advantage against your enemy. ”
“In a war, everything is allowed. In a war, the only thing that matters is that you are the winner, after all, the story is told by the winners. ”
...
Mount Olympus.
“What are you doing here, Rao? Are you looking for war against Olympus? ” Zeus spoke in a serious yet calm tone; it was as if everything was under his control. He looked at the two swords Rao was holding; he tries to call The Blade The Olympus back, but the sword didn't adhere to him: “You even stole my weapons. ”
Hearing Zeus' calm tone, the Olympian gods began to calm down. Still, before they could calm down and assess their situation, something happened.
Rao disappeared from the position he was in and appeared next to Poseidon.
All the gods just watched in shock as the head of Poseidon rolled on the ground ...
Zeus, who was closest to Poseidon, saw his brother's shocked face; Poseidon did not expect to die first. Zeus looked at Rao's red eyes, angrily in his eyes, but he was also cautious. 'In a split second, that man appeared beside Poseidon and killed him, all his movements were perfect.'
The gods of Mount Olympus began to be hysterical again.
[Zeus, there is no point in talking to buy time. He is not willing to speak.] Metis advised him.
Hearing his wife's advice, Zeus moved, raised his hands to the sky, and the clouds of Mount Olympus began to be charged with thunder.
But before he can summon his rays, the head of another god fell to the floor of Olympus.
Zeus looked at the floor. "Heracles ..." Anger was taking over the god-king of Olympus.
Rao looked at Zeus and saw that he has let his guard down, and in a split second, Rao appeared behind Zeus and attacked him with the blade of Olympus.
When Rao was about to pierce Zeus's back, whose guard was down, a blond-haired woman with a shield in her hand appeared in front of Rao and tried to defend the King of Olympus.
Rao looked at the woman in front of him and observed her features. 'Athena.'
Rao put more strength in his hand and pierced Athena's shield.
"Ugh!" the blade of Olympus went through Athena's shield and cuts off the goddess's arm; she lost the shield and was injured, but her object was fulfilled; she held the blade and screamed:
"Hermes!"
In Rao's perspective, the world was passing in slow motion; he saw a god running towards Zeus.
Rao removed Olympus's blade from Athena's shield and threw the goddess towards a pillar; he tried to pierce Zeus again, but as the blade was about to pierce Zeus's flesh.
Hermes managed to save Zeus. Using his speed, he took Zeus away from Rao.
* Boooom! * At the same time that Hermes managed to save Zeus, Athena hit the palace's pillar. * Cough! * She coughed up golden blood and looked at Rao while holding her spear for support.
"Tsk." Rao grumbles; he looked at Zeus, who was being held by Hermes.
When Rao would attack Zeus again, he felt several objects flying towards him. Rao quickly dodged. While dodging, he looked at the objects.
"Arrows?"
He looked towards the woman who shot the arrows at him; she had long silver hair, wearing silver armor while holding a silver bow.
The woman made a gesture of pulling the string of a bow. Soon a silver arrow appeared, before she can shoot another arrow, she saw a golden sword flying towards her.
She dodged the golden sword using acrobatics.
Rao, who threw Harpe towards the silver-haired goddess, gave a small smile. He made a hand gesture. The golden sword changed direction and pierced the goddess's legs.
"AHHHHH!" She cried out in pain, she tries to remove the golden sword, but the blade does not budge, Rao appeared behind the goddess and tried to cut off her head, but before he could do that, he looked at the sky.
"Sister!!" A blond-haired god attacked Rao with several golden arrows that appear to be made of sunlight.
Rao raises his eyebrow; he ignored the arrows and attacked the silver-haired goddess with Olympus's blade.
When the sword is going to rip off the goddess's head, she suddenly disappears.
Rao looks at Hermes, who saved the goddess. 'He got faster, this time, I couldn't react ... He's an obstacle, I need to eliminate him.'
The golden arrows that the blond-haired god attacked hit Rao's armor, but nothing happens. The arrows are only absorbed into Rao's body.
“Apollo, you idiot !! he is a sun god !! Why are you using those arrows on it !? ” A bearded god shouted, he was hiding behind a pillar.
"Eh!?" He reacted in surprise.
Rao raises his hands towards the silver-haired goddess. "Ahhhhhh!" The sword that was stuck in the woman's legs suddenly returns to Rao's hands.
Rao looked at Apollo; his eyes start to glow red.
"Shit." Apollo felt danger from that look; he quickly used his carriage and tried to escape.
* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM !!! *
Suddenly a giant beam of red light comes out of eyes Rao's.
* Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! *
The ground around Rao started to break because of his retreating power.
"Apollo!" Athena throws her shield towards Apollo.
Apollo tried to take Athena's shield, but it was too late; Rao's power was faster.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Apollo is covered by the full beam of red light !!
“Noooo! Brother!!" The silver-haired woman screamed in despair.
"It's okay, he will not die from this attack, he is immortal." Hermes spoke.
Rao stops using his eye powers. He crouched a little.
* Boooom! *
A sonic boom is heard when Rao flew towards Apollo.
Using the golden sword, Rao cuts off Apollo's head, which was burned.
"...."
The gods were just paralyzed as they watched Apollo's body slowly fall to the ground. They could feel, like Poseidon and Ares, Apollo's divinity was lost forever; he was dead.
"Nooo !!!!!!" The silver-haired goddess screamed. She looked at Rao with hatred in her eyes. "Bastard!!" She took her bow and started attacking Rao with several arrows.
Rao starts to fly in the sky and dodge the arrows; while flying, his eyes were focused on Hermes.
Hermes felt the danger when he saw Rao's gaze.
"Enough !!" Zeus' voice was heard.
* Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! *
* BOOOOOM! *
A giant ray struck Rao.
Rao quickly used Olympus's blade and protected himself. The lightning was so intense that he threw it on the ground of Mount Olympus !!
“Non-combatant gods must leave Olympus !! All gods with deities that can be used in battles must stay on Olympus !! Rao, the king god of Krypton, declared war on Olympus !! As of today, we are at war !! ” Zeus' voice resonated throughout Olympus.
"The gods of the underworld are being summoned to help Olympus !!" Zeus proclaimed.
When he was about to give more orders, he felt something; he quickly looks down:
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!" Rao, whose armor was all broken, repelled Zeus's lightning bolt.
Zeus quickly dodged his own bolt.
The lightning flashes through the clouds of Mount Olympus, causing the thunder-charged clouds to open, and soon the sun managed to enter Mount Olympus.
* Cough! *
Rao spits blood on the ground; he looks at the sun and can feel his wounds healing.
Rao looks at Zeus with blood-red eyes; Zeus felt pressured only by Rao's gaze, despite being hurt and alone, Rao managed to put a seed of Fear in Zeus's heart.
