I would be entertained by the idea but the payoff wouldn't justify the narrative build up in my opinion.
waxing wroth?
What do you mean Hades can't shrink down? Why? Would he need to make an Avatar body smaller to be a human height?
Waxing wrote, not waxing wroth?
Perhaps, but remember that Zeus is also apparently one of the best judges. That might be something Paul might use against him.
I'd say that best case scenario is Zeus actually wants to retire, and is trying to give his kids a kick in the ass in order to find a successor.
He is showing his raw divine form as a start. The thing that generally kills mortals to look upon. At the very least Zeus does not care about Paul's wellbeing.
Mount Olympus, or at least the one in Thessaly. Yes, there's more than one, even in Greece... The early Hellenes tended to call the largest mountain in their region Olympus, as the lofty seat of the Gods. And so OL comes to meet his foe, more or less...
As noted, each different group of Hellenes had their own Olympus. No doubt the true place is separate from the world, but can connect to any of them. Like the tallest mountain on Themyscira...
No doubt made from the Apples of Discord. I'm sure it has a heady flavour.
Heh. Like the best thing you've ever drank, and the worst, all at once, eh? Just the sort of thing Eris would brew.
Well, it's better than human sacrifice. I doubt the Hellenes would have put up with that for long.
After all, this isn't you coming knocking with the metaphysical equivalent of pitchforks and torches... This is more of a polite visit.
Aw. I almost miss the alternate font for his magical intoxication. Guess he's more resistant to such a mild, wide-spread effect.
Ooh, things have gone all metaphorical, have they?
Honestly, I'm surprised he hasn't started to take on a snake-ish appearance. Perhaps that'll come later as his temper gets worn down.
And suddenly, Olympus begins to loom...
Hello, Best Snek. Or at least, the bits of you stuck in his soul like an orange-chocolate-chip cookie.
That must be a strange feeling, to sense the difference of your own soul...
"Oh, that's a lot of stairs..."
Ah, of course there's a shortcut for the trusted visitors. Only questing heroes have to take the staircase. And those would probably be the Muses, conferring over their latest project...
I'm sure Demeter takes great pride in her landscaping work.
As rescued here. Good to see she's been recovering from her ordeal well.
Now, I wonder who will get first dibs on his soul? Mammon is more likely, since he was probably Christian. But I could see a deal being struck to let Mister Madoc be punished in proper Hellenic fashion.
Yeah, that's not a good thing to hear. I mean, hearing someone who helped you greatly is about to have words with your God-King...
...Words which may spell trouble for everyone else in the neighbourhood? I'd be worried too.
That's true. People might think Hellenic architecture leaned towards the huge thanks to temples like the Parthenon, but... Temple. And a partly ruined one at that...
And if there were any dust allowed in this place, that voice would probably have set it billowing.
'Gar'? So, he's showing off how much of a hot-blooded manly badass he is?
I could see him trying that as an intimidation tactic.And also fuck-huge, because why try to be restrained in your place of power? I'm sure most mortals would have been blasted to their knees in worship of his presence...
...Unfortunately, he's just not speaking OL's language, in metaphorical terms. No doubt he's hoping this will be a polite sit-down chat.
What's he planning, I wonder? He knows why OL is here, obviously. It's about Wonder Woman, of course. But is he aware of what OL's been up to?
Like a small child sitting in a grown-up chair. I'm sure that's entirely intentional. Is Daddy Zeus about to do some divine mansplaining to the little orange fellow?
Not quite as bad as yelling blasphemies in an open field during a thunderstorm while holing a brass rod, but still...
Lever. Holding. Grasping.
'Gar'? So, he's showing off how much of a hot-blooded manly badass he is?
Thank you, corrected.
The second one.
While I get that he cant do Earth style magic because he lacks connection to make it work as Foreigner I tought that by now he figured out Ophidan/Avrice backed/based Soul manipulation in style of New Gods?
He thinks of that as an exotic ring function rather than anything else.
Dis gonna be fun!
"Dick-ass rapist can't handle being told 'no'."
How much time have we got?
Thank you, corrected.
Walking into someone's house doesn't make you a guest.
First of all it is your story so if you want it to be so, so it shall be.
He starts by making an offering to the gods - that covers the traditional gift giving to the ones who live in the house from a visitor.
Second the gift is accepted and he granted entry to the house.
Third he is informed by the servants that he may be in fact expected by the head of the house.
Fourth he is welcomed in the house not once but thrice from the head of it, and invited to sit down with him.
As usual the devil is in the details.
