"She will become one of the strongest, even more so than you King, I'll make sure of it," Hades yells. The king glares down at him obviously insulted by Hades threat. "Beware, messing with the future has consequences," Zeus warns quietly in Hades's ear. "Beware," Hades smirks before disappearing into a wall of fire.
