Down at the divine hall... Apollo remains sat in a stone "bench" though not waiting, he is talking to Hermes as the arena exits is lowered

Apollo: How inelegant... Zeus could've put his name as the first in the roster much sooner – He sighs – Because of this our peers expectancies were just ignored

Hermes: The bigger picture is, now that father has trampled the rules we'll have to change them – Hermes leans on a pillar

Apollo: As in? – He perks up

Hermes: Now that the order of the fights have been disrupted, we have to choose our fighters first, then let the Valkyries choose their fighters, giving them advantage

Apollo: Well, that IS what everybody expects of us after all, we are gods, we don't fear humans, we don't lose, we don't retreat – He gets up – So it is what it is, I guess

Hermes: *sigh* How troublesome

Apollo: I would not worry so much if I was you – Apollo shrugs – You did incredible as always with your music – He puts a hand on his cheek – Though I don't know if Zeus will put up a beautiful fight, his strength is unparalleled and he moves hauntingly fast, it'll be a free win

Hermes stays quiet and follows him through the halls

"Zeus..."

"The God who is the father of Cosmos"

"Bearer of power that is as great as the cosmos itself"

"In other words, nigh-infinite"

Zeus's backstory is much unknown, except for Zeus himself and whoever he told this story for...

But as the word goes on between the Olympus big three...

In the beginning of our universe's existence, when no lifeform other than divine existed, the Olympian gods had rebelled from their ancestors, the primordial gods

When the revolt broke out, the gods scattered, each taking on a number of titans, however, nobody had ever seen Zeus fight Cronos, the strongest titan AND his father

Zeus, the youngest of the three Olympus siblings, formerly known as the god of lightning had pushed himself to his limits on that day, no, moment

In this microscopic span of time where they fought, the story goes as Zeus had told us:

"Me and my father fought tooth and nail for millennia just in that one fraction of a second, countless lightning bolts consumed the void of existence without creating thunders, I had surpassed the speed of light and kept exchanging blows with Cronos until I managed to see him standing completely still"

"In that split second, I stopped time, and in the next, surpassed it"

For all those who saw their clash, both clashed in one moment, and in the next one, eons of cosmic storms and its thunders happened all at once
