Zeus stormed back to Mount Olympus, his rage palpable as he ascended to his throne room. His thunderous footsteps echoed through the grand halls, sending a shiver down the spines of anyone who heard them. Bursting into the throne room, he bellowed for the presence of all gods and goddesses. One by one, they filed in, each wearing an expression that ranged from indifference to barely concealed contempt. Zeus's eyes blazed with fury as he scanned the room, his jaw clenched tightly.
"You will all find me a new plaything!" Zeus demanded, his voice reverberating through the chamber. "I don't care how long it takes or what you have to do. Bring me someone to replace Andre!"
The gods and goddesses exchanged glances, their faces hardening with resolve. One by one, they refused, their voices calm and steady.
"No, Zeus," Hera said coldly, stepping forward with her head held high. "You had this coming. The way you treated Andre was despicable, and we will not be complicit in your cruelty any longer."
Athena stepped forward next, her eyes filled with righteous fury. "You have ruled with fear and cruelty for too long, Zeus. We will not aid you in your madness."
Artemis nodded in agreement, her voice strong and unwavering. "Andre was innocent, and you tormented him. We refuse to be part of your twisted games."
Apollo, standing tall and proud, added, "Your reign of terror must end, Zeus. We will not support you in this."
Hestia, the embodiment of home and hearth, spoke softly but firmly, "We are done living in fear. We will not find you a new victim."
Demeter, her eyes flashing with anger, said, "You have brought this upon yourself. We will not enable your cruelty any longer."
Poseidon, towering and imposing, stepped forward. "Your tyranny ends here, brother. We will not stand by and watch you destroy more lives."
Dionysus, usually carefree and jovial, wore a serious expression. "We will not be part of your madness, Zeus. It's time for a change."
Hermes, ever the messenger, added his voice to the chorus of dissent. "We will no longer carry out your wicked orders."
Aphrodite, her beauty matched by her resolve, said, "Love and compassion have no place in your world, Zeus. We will not help you spread more suffering."
Ares, god of war, surprisingly sided with the others. "Even I see the madness in your ways, Zeus. Enough is enough."
Hephaestus, the god of fire and forge, added his deep, rumbling voice to the dissent. "We stand together against you, Zeus. This cruelty must end."
Zeus's face contorted with rage, his hands trembling with the effort of holding back his power. "Do as I command or I will kill you all one by one! Dont fucking test me you fucking worthless good for nothing shits!"
The gods and goddesses exchanged one last look before turning and leaving the room. As they exited, they shared a silent understanding. They would protect each other and anyone else from Zeus's wrath. This time, they would stand united against his tyranny, knowing that together, they could face any storm he tried to unleash upon them.
After the gods left, Zeus's rage boiled over. He roared and punched the wall, leaving a large hole. "Damn them all! Traitors! Ingrates!" His voice thundered through the halls as he stormed off to his bedroom, fury coursing through his veins. He slammed the door behind him and began to throw a massive temper tantrum, cursing and hurling objects across the room.
"How dare they defy me!" he screamed, his voice raw with rage. "I'll make them pay! I'll make them all pay! Damn you, Hera! Damn you, Apollo, and Artemis! You're all worthless! How could you betray me like this?!"
