"Zara'tel," Zeus replied slowly. "I've come to retrieve Gimrei."
Zara'tel's six eyes narrowed.
His face twisted into something like a frown. A sharp hiss escaped his throat.
When he spoke again, his tone was clipped and venomous.
"Zeus. We have tolerated your defiance long enough. But now you overstep your boundaries. Turn back, and we shall overlook this final trespass. Refuse, and you will face divine judgment. Your legacy will be erased from the heavens."
Zeus's expression didn't change.
His words made it clear negotiations were impossible.
"I gave you a chance," Zeus said, raising his hand.
Neo's instincts screamed. He grabbed Yaleth and shoved him into his Cosmos with no hesitation.
Zeus's voice echoed like thunder breaking through reality.
"What happens next… is the consequence of your arrogance, Zara'tel."
Neo hurriedly tried to activate all of his defensive techniques as Zeus swung his hand—
Fall
Neo lost consciousness.
