Arghhh!
The humanoid surged closer, its trident tearing through the mist, glowing blood-red. Zeus's eyes narrowed—then he unleashed the sphere.
Zaaapp!
Dooom!
The explosion rocked the air. Fire burst, fog blasted apart, and a sonic wave scattered dust across the battlefield. The deafening roar made soldiers clamp their ears.
As the haze thinned, Zeus still hovered midair, his gaze sharp.
Below, a massive crater had formed. Yet the humanoid stood in the center unscathed, its tongue lolling in mockery. Beside it, another creature emerged: a hulking frog-like beast, above whose head hovered a swelling orb of black mist.
"Hmph…" Zeus scoffed, his eyes icy.
Suddenly, figures clad in nano-armor appeared beside him. One spoke with a deep voice, his helmet molded by writhing cubes that etched out facial lines.
"Sir, the source of the mist has vanished."
