Promethean Pantheon
Also known as the "New Olympian Pantheon". Following the Twilight of the Olympian Gods, the New Olympian Pantheon has formed in its wake to take its place, made up of survivors of the old Olympian Pantheon and a new generation of younger Gods. While relatively new, they made up for it with being much more benevolent than their predecessors. This group got its name from their leading god, Prometheus. open/close all folders
General
- The Atoner: Some of the Prometheus deities were former members of the old Olympian pantheon who felt genuine remorse for their actions, and wanted to atone for them. One of them is King Thanatos, who tried sacrificing himself during the "Twilight of the Orosians" out of guilt for even the crimes committed by his brothers and peers. This trope was revealed to be invoked by Canteros, the Primeval/Preeminent god of Requited Love and Reconcilation, who saved/spared those who were remorseful so they can learn to reconcile with their wronged mortal subjects and earn their "happy ending".
- Defector from Decadence: Many Promethean deities were those of the Old Olympian Pantheon who defected in disgust towards the actions of their more petty, arrogant, and selfish peers.
- Fantasy Pantheon: Most members of the Promethean Pantheon have elements of Roman mythology, given that the Roman deities are much nicer, benevolent, and civic-minded than their Greek counterparts, and were born after the rise of the Roman Empire.
- Redeeming Replacement: For the Old Olympian Pantheon, most of who were such Jerkass Gods that no one mourned them when they were wiped out. It's revealed that this is largely invoked by Canteros, the god of Requited Love, who wanted to ensure a happy ending for both the Promethean Pantheon and the Tauren Peninsula by helping the divines reconcile with the Old Olympian Pantheon's victims.
Bellamos, the Divine Strategos
Classification: Ethereal
Portfolio: War, Strategy, Soldiery
Rank: Divine (Tier III/Intermediate)
"To ask why we fight is a pointless exercise: Quite simply, it is in our nature. Better to ask: what is truly worth fighting for?"
Bellamos (His entry here
) is the modern Pramanthan god of War, Strategy and Soldiery. Born in battle, he was adopted into the Orosian Pantheon but ultimately moved passed the flaws and horrors of his parents and what they represented, choosing to embody his domains in more noble ways even as he continues to struggle against his own bloodthirsty nature.
- Anthropomorphic Personification: Embodies War, Strategy, and Soldiery.
- Blood Knight: Defied. Despite being a War god whose very nature is empowered by conflict in general, he takes no pleasure in fighting, and treats it only as a duty and necessity. This stems from his birth and previous experiences with wars, which were often started by petty, arrogant gods who either wanted to one-up their rivals and/or stroke their own egos, leading to unnecessary destruction and death.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: He once sent Terraton, a divine Gigantes and a fellow War god, crashing into a mountain shortly after their fight began. This led to Terraton giving his grudging respects, due to having greatly underestimated his younger peer.
- Due to the Dead: Despite hating Ematha and Machis's pettiness and arrogance, and even let them die at the hands of their mortal subjects as punishment for their actions, he still honors their memory by carrying their favored weapons - for Ematha, he uses her legendary impenetrable shield, Protasia, to protect the innocent from the fallout of war, while for Machis, he uses his dreaded sword, Kratos, only for those who are genuinely evil and dangerous.
- Expy: Of Mars, the Roman version of the Greek god Ares, who is a god of war, but also a god of citizen-soldiers, farmers and homesteaders like Bellamos is, and is much more respected than Ares was even by the Greeks under the martial but civic-minded Romans, and is characterized as more intelligent and heroic.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With: Subverted; while he does appear as a tall and powerful bronze-colored pegasus stallion as his default form, he has appeared as other races in the Tauren regions such as Minotaurs and Griffons, showing off his impartiality as a benevolent War god.
- Happily Adopted: Double-subverted. Machis and Ematha were terrible parental figures and would always chastise him for either not living up to their standards, or preferring one over the other. Hearth was far more loving than both of them, resulting in Bellamos seeing her as his parent more than the people who originally adopted him.
- In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves: As implied by his folder quote, he believes that fighting is in sapientkind's nature, and to ask why they fight would be a pointless exercise. Instead, he encourages people to ask, "What is truly worth fighting for?"
- Kill It Through Its Stomach: After he and his worshipers were Swallowed Whole by Khakiston, Bellamos cut himself out through the Tyrannos god's stomach with his sword, Kratos. Unfortunately for him and everyone else he also rescued, it's subverted as Khakiston survived the experience.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Despite his personal feelings towards Ematha, he still carries her legendary divine shield, Protasia, to honor her memory. Protasia is well-known for its impenetrable defense, which is rather appropriate for a benevolent War god who wants to defend the innocent and defuse conflicts as quickly as possible.
- Murder by Inaction: When the "Twilight of the Orosian Gods" happened, he simply let Machis and Ematha die, rightfully believing that his "parents" and the other gods have brought the tragedy upon themselves with their petty, cruel actions. After everything Machis, Ematha, and their siblings/peers had done, it's not hard to blame him.
- Swallowed Whole: He, along with a good chunk of his mortal worshipers, were devoured by Khakiston, the Tyrannos god of Amoral Warriors, in hopes that he'll get a divine power boost. However, Bellamos got out by using his sword Kratos to cut through Khakiston's stomach, freeing himself and his worshipers, along with various heroes/champions and cities that were devoured in the past.
- Underestimating Badassery: He's often looked down by belligerent War deities for being, in their eyes, excessively soft and pacifistic. Since he's going against his nature as a War deity and worries over mortal casualties, he must be weak. Terraton made that mistake once, and paid the price.
- Virtue Is Weakness: This trope is why he's often looked down by many War deities, especially those with more belligerent and hostile temperaments. They see him as excessively pacifistic, soft, and weak, since in their eyes, he's going against his very nature as a War deity and constantly worries over trivial things like mortal casualties. On the other hand, Bellamos firmly believes that avoiding unnecessary death and conflict is a strength, and his benevolence has earned him the admiration and respect of those like him, such as Válka, the Draconequus War god from the Bogolenya pantheon.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: At first, he wanted to please his official adoptive parents, Machis and Ematha, because they were the closest thing he had to "family" at the time. However, both of them were so petty and self-absorbed in their rivalry that they would constantly criticize his actions, either for supporting the other or not fitting their standards. Eventually, Bellamos grew so disillusioned with them, especially after learning that he was born because of the wars caused by his parents' petty rivalry, that he disowned them and let them die during the "Twilight of the Orosian Gods", instead helping those mortals who were caught up in the event and siding with Hearth, who genuinely had been like a mother to him.
Prometheus/Pramanthus
Classification: TBA
Portfolio: TBA
Rank: TBA
- Defector from Decadence: Was an Othrysian, but defected to the Orosians during the Titanomachy and was spared from being punished as they were (for a time).
- Expy: Of Prometheus, the Titan of foresight, traditionally the one who crafted Humanity and helped them in many ways like stealing fire and giving it to them for light and cooking, allowing for civilization to developed.
- Top God: Took over the deceased Ouratheros's position as leader of the Orosian/Pramanthan pantheon after most of the old Orosian gods were wiped out during the "Twilight of the Orosian Gods".
Hades/Thanatos, King of the Underworld
Classification: Elemental/Ethereal
Portfolio: Death, Judgement, Wealth, Earth
Rank: TBA
- Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a Minotaur god who embodies Death, Judgement, Wealth, and Earth.
- Expy: Of Hades, though he is a much more benevolent and nicer Death god/ruler than his Greek inspiration, taking more after Hades' Roman counterpart, Pluto.
Persephone/Proserpine, Queen of the Underworld
Classification: TBA
Portfolio: TBA
Rank: TBA
- Expy: Of Persephone, Hades' wife, though her name comes from Persephone's Roman counterpart, Proserpina.
Hestia/Hearth
Classification: TBA
Portfolio: Houses, Home, Family
Rank: TBA
Hearth was a member of the old Orosian pantheon, whose gods and goddesses were her siblings. However, she was unique in that she completely lacked their terrible behaviors, which played an important role in the upbringing of Bellamos, a new war god. Because Machis and Ematha, Bellamos's adoptive parents, were too busy skirting their responsibilities and occupying themselves with petty squabbles, Bellamos ended up hanging around Hearth more, who instilled in him with morals and virtue, and some argued that she more or less practically raised him more than his adoptive parents ever did, to the point of possibly even providing him the spark to ascend.
- Anthropomorphic Personification: Embodies Houses, Home, and Family.
- Expy: Of Hestia, a Greek goddess who shared a similar portfolio with her, and had the same kind, motherly personality.
- Good Parents: For Bellamos, her surrogate son. She looked after him while Machis and Ematha occupied themselves with petty bickering, instilling in him the morals, compassion, and responsibility that her siblings lacked. Despite what Machis and Ematha's worshipers say, it was Hearth who gave Bellamos the spark necessary to achieve godhood. Appropriately, one of her divine domains is Family.
- Karmic Jackpot: Because she was a good mother figure for Bellamos and one of the few Orosian deities that didn't act like a jackass in general, Hearth (somehow) ended up surviving the "Twilight of the Orosian Gods" that killed off most of her siblings, and became a member of the new Orosian pantheon.
- Parental Substitute: For Bellamos, who didn't have any biological parents to speak of due to his unique birth, and his official adoptive parents, Ematha and Machis, were too self-absorbed and petty to provide him the love and support he wanted. Because she was a good parent, Bellamos saw her as his "true" family.

Clamos
Classification: Ethereal
Portfolio: Screaming, Battle Cries, Strength
Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH ~ !!!!"
Clamos (his entry here
) is the Pramanthan god of Screaming, Battle Cries, and Strength, and a very odd yet strong and fiercely powerful individual.- Affectionate Parody: He's one to the Kiai and Screaming Warrior tropes that are both prevalent in anime, as he powers himself up by screaming for lengthy periods of time. But His power-ups are only temporary, and his screams also annoy people.
- Anime Hair: He has spiky hair right out of an anime.
- Anthropomorphic Personification: He's a god who embodies Screaming, Battle Cries, and Strength.
- Beware the Silly Ones: As detailed below, Clamos' domains are silly but devastatingly effective. Several Autorists found out the hard way after picking a fight with one of his clerics.
- Commonality Connection: It's noted in Fanged Paw's entry that Clamos befriended the demigod Alicorn Prince over each other's sheer loudness. This got Fanged Paw's brothers worried for the day when he'll get into a shouting match with either Clamos, the mortal Griffon hero Prince/King Vultus IV, or both of them.
- Groin Attack: He was once subjected to this by Eephus, who tried kicking him, but he was so tough and manly that Eephus ended up injuring his own foot. As one deviantART commentator hilariously put it:
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Screaming to power up sounds silly, and is Played for Laughs as an Affectionate Parody, but it also works. He appears to have no upwards limit on how powerful he can get if he's got enough, uninterupted time to scream. A prophecy suggests that if he screams for long enough, he can become powerful enough to meaningfully damage the Void Sovereign.
- Overly Long Scream: He's a walking Affectionate Parody of the 'screaming while powering up' thing in anime. The longer he screams the stronger he gets when he stops. In preparation for the resurrection of Orochi, he screamed nonstop, uninterrupted for the entire Orochi Crisis to power up for the Final Battle. It actually worked and he powered up enough to kill the Eighth Demon King, Orochi's strongest spawn.
- Required Secondary Powers: Like Fanged Paw, his throat, mouth, and lungs are supremely tough and enduring, and he may or may not need to actually breathe... though he's not too sure on the last part. However, this didn't stop him from suffering a minor sore throat and forgetting how to speak normally for a few weeks after fighting the Eighth Demon King, Orochi's demonic "spawn", during the "Orochi Crisis".
- Sacred Scripture: Clamos' sacred scriptures to his warrior-priesthood and followers are exactly what you would expect from a religion revering a god of battle-cries and screaming.Warrior-Priest: And Lord Clamos said: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - !!!". And so it was true.

Monóko, the Beacon of Happiness
Classification: Ascendant/Ethereal
Portfolio: Happiness, Love, Wishes
Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)
Monóko (his entries here
and here) is the Alicorn god of Happiness, Love, and Wishes who suffered greatly in his mortal youth, but ultimately remained heroic and good despite his hardships.- Anthropomorphic Personification: He's an Alicorn god who embodies Happiness, Love, and Wishes.
- Armor-Piercing Response: He he attempts to reason with Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta during his rampage against the Orosian Pantheon to stop Ouratheros for the right reasons, not revenge. While he fails, his final response leaves Kratos rattled.Monóko: If you try to stop him just because you hate him, what will you have left when you're finished?Kratos: ... I will have my revenge, that will be enough.Monóko: ...Then I hope it makes you happy.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: He ultimately manages to defeat Ouratheros using all the love of every person he's met in his adventures., allowing him to finally be free.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: After being forced to leave his friends time and time again, corrupting himself into Doom Desire, and having to fight Ouratheros himself, he finally manages to force the Orosian Pantheon to leave him and his friends alone, allowing him the happy ending his inspiration Unico never got.
- God of Good: He's a god of Happiness, Love, and Wishes, and he is an incredibly selfless god who cannot stand to see people suffering, despite suffering greatly himself.
- The Magnificent: Known as "the Beacon of Happiness".
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: The only thing the poor guy wanted to do when he was a colt was make friends and make people happy. The Orosian Pantheon got jealous of people showing him more attention and praise than they got (in part due to many of them being unworthy of it) and tried to have him banished to Oblivion for it. As such, he was stuck in a perpetual cycle of making friends, doing all he could to make them happy, and then being forced to leave them to keep the Orosian Pantheon's agents from finding him.
- Repression Never Ends Well: He repressed the pain and heartbreak having to flee his friends every time he makes them, as he sees others as needing more happiness than he does. All this pain finally explodes when his mother figure is seemingly killed by Ouratheros and he finds out the petty reason all this happened, resulting in him corrupting himself into Doom Desire.
- Super Mode: As a mortal, he had the ability to transform into an Alicorn if his friends had intense enough love towards him due to drastic situations. After ascending, he can still do this, gaining the ability transform into an older deity than he presently can.
- Superpowered Evil Side: After snapping, his normal Super Mode turns into a corrupted Alicorn named Doom Desire. He's powerful enough to fight Ouratheros head on, but loses any aversion to the destruction he causes, completely lost in his hatred. He's thankfully saved and purified by every friend he's made in his adventure.
- Wholesome Crossdresser: He's a nice, heroic guy and just likes crossdressing.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The constant cycle of making friends, making them happy, and losing them built up a lot of baggage. When Ouratheros seemingly kills his mother figure Dytikós in front of him and reveals the incredibly petty reason for his suffering, he finally snaps and turns into a corrupted Alicorn called Doom Desire.
Dytikós Anemos
- Gondor Calls for Aid: Realizing only enough love can create a strong enough wish to purify Monóko back from Doom Desire, she flies all over, gathering every single person Monóko had befriended and given happiness and brings them to him so they can talk him down. Their love is then used by Monóko to defeat Ouratheros and force him to leave them alone.
- My God, What Have I Done?: She has this reaction when she realizes how much emotional pain she'd unknowingly caused Monóko which resulted in him becoming Doom Desire.
Demeter/Damaretura, the Lady of the Grain
Classification: Elemental/Ethereal
Portfolio: Harvest, Agriculture, Fertility, Sacred law
Rank: Divine (Tier IV/Greater)
Demeter/Damaretura (introduced here
) is a benevolent member of the Promethean/Pramanthan Pantheon and mother of Queen Persephone/Prosperine.- Armor-Piercing Question: Asked Kratos in their confrontation in the 'Twilight of the Orosians' over what beneficial or positive thing had he ultimately contributed to mortalkind in his vengeful quest. Kratos do not have a satisfactory answer beyond freedom from Ouratheros' tyranny, and she follows that with a scathing Armor-Piercing Response.Demeter/Damaretura: Tell me, Kratos: what have you given back to those who starve because of your actions?
Kratos: ... Freedom from your brother.
Demeter/Damaretura: When this is over, go visit my daughter and her husband so you may ask those you sent to the grave if they appreciate it. - Cain and Abel: She's the Abel to Ouratheros and Thalasson's Cain, being a benevolent, kind, motherly goddess who genuinely cares about her worshipers. While she didn't kill them herself, she very much does not miss them.
- Child by Rape: Several of her children were sired as a result of Zeus and Poseidon raping her. Notably, she was still a Good Parent to them anyway, but she understandably despises her brothers.
- Expy: Of Demeter.
- Food God: Is an agricultural goddess who watches over harvests. She is called the 'Lady of the Grain' for a reason.
- Tranquil Fury: While not defending her brothers and believing they deserved their fate, she is still furious with Kratos for causing calamity to the Taurus Peninsula in his vengeful rampage that among other things led to mass starvation among mortals and her followers. It took her thousands of years and seeing him changing for the better for her to finally forgive him.
- Token Good Teammate: Of the Olympian/Orosian Pantheon, being one of the few gods with little to no real misdeeds or abuses of power and generally being benevolent, like Hearth or Bellamos.
Prostagma, the Hero of the Waves
Classification: TBA
Portfolio: TBA
Rank: TBA
- "Any who threaten my family and my people, be they Mortal, Beast, or God, will soon find a place in my dreams."
First introduced in a Drabble
, Prostagma, the Hero of the Waves is the former mortal admiral of lost Coltlantis and presently Pramanthan Pantheon's main Lord of the Ocean.- Atlantis: Prostagma was the Admiral of Coltantis, the Fourth Age expy of Atlantis. After it sank he led his people to a new homeland.
- Deity of Mortal Origin: He ascended to godhood on the day he killed his patron god Thalasson and his homeland sank.
- Doomed Hometown: Coltlantis. Its patron god Thalasson was willing to sacrifice it and its people to free the Othrysians and overthrow his brother Ouratheros. Even though Prostagma managed to kill him and stop the plot, it was too late to prevent Coltlantis from sinking, forcing him and his people to evacuate.
- Et Tu, Brute?: He was a devoted worshipper of Thalasson like all of Coltlantis until he learnt Thalasson was behind the plot to break free the sealed Othrysians (the predecessors of the Orosian Pantheon) from their prison and was willing to sacrifice Coltantis to that end. Prostagma would turn on and eventually straight-up killed Thalasson in response.
- Expy: Of Arkantos, the Admiral and main Hero of Atlantis from Age of Mythology.
- Kill the God: He offed his patron god Thalasson in response to his plan to free the Othrysians from their prison to overthrow his brother Ouratheros, King of the Orosians, ascending to godhood in the process.
- Undying Loyalty: To his people, the Ponies of Coltlantis, to the point of killing his own patron god Thalasson when he betrayed them for his own ends, and even after Coltlantis itself sank and he had to lead his people away to a new homeland.

Associates
Nikealogos, the Champion of Victory/Slayer of Gods
Classification: Ascendant
Portfolio: Champions, Battle, Healing, Crafting, Godslaying
Rank: Divine (Tier III/Intermediate)
Nikealogos (his entry Here
) is an associate member of the Pramanthan Pantheon, a mortal-turned-god who played a major role in the 'Twilight of the Orosians' which marked the downfall of the old Orosian Pantheon, and is widely respected and fear for his tireless efforts to protect mortalkind from evil and dangerous gods, making him a preeminent godslayer of the Taurus Peninsula.- Attack Reflector: His previous and current shields Protasia and Ektropéas are nigh-impenetrable and could reflect attacks back at their foes.
- Badass Normal: Despite being an ordinary mortal Unicorn, he managed to wipe out a significant portion of the Olympian Pantheon along with their forces by himself during the 'Twilight of the Olympians'. Being this was what caught Hera's attention when he managed to save his village (at least for a time) from raiders despite overwhelming odds. Even as a god he's noted to be fairly average, but makes up for it with tactics and tenacity to allow him to take on opponents far older and more powerful than he is.
- Batman Gambit: How he took out an entire pantheon of fallen deities in a single stroke in one Drabble. He went out of his way to rescue their Top God from an equally-bad rival pantheon which captured him, knowing as soon as he got back he would bring his pantheon and their forces, which had fallen apart in his absence, back together in their main stronghold to plan their next move - and thus all gathered in the same place at the same time for Nikealogos to take them out all at once with hundreds of divinely-enchanted blast jars he had hidden all over the divine realm while they were gone.
- Bolt of Divine Retribution: Among his more exotic weapons is a massive stock of Olympian Thunderbolts which Zeus and other gods had used, allowing him to essentially throw lightning bolts at his opponents.
- The Champion: Of Hera, Queen of the Olympians after he caught her attention overcoming overwhelming odds in saving his village from raiders. She charged him with defeating Zeus (and any Olympians who got in his way or as he needed) as part of her own plot to punish Zeus for his transgressions against her. As a god of Champions presently, he could empower other beings into being his champion as well as receiving a massive power boost when acting as a champion for others.
- Combat Pragmatist: A major reason for his success: no trick nor tactic is off the table for him when it comes to fighting opponents, be they mortal or god. He never goes into battle without plans and preparations, and liberally used traps, backstabbing, poisons, monsters, explosives, the environment and just about every other means at his disposal to weaken his enemies and stack the odds in his favour before going in for the kill. He also never fights any large group of enemies all at once if he could help it unless he is sure he can take them all out in one fell swoop.
- Demolitions Expert: Does not hesitate to use explosives (or their equivalent) to do other deities in, whether as a mortal or god. He took out one evil pantheon in a Drabble by planting hundreds of city-busting divinely-enchanted blast jars all over their divine realm while they were gone, blowing them all up in one spectacular explosion when they returned.
- The Dreaded: He is almost as infamous and feared as Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta in his repute as a god-slayer.
- Doomed Hometown: While he saved his home village once from raiders during the Twilight of the Olympians, he was unable to save it from being destroyed by other forces and disasters unleashed during that time, leaving him stricken with 'Survivor's Guilt'.
- Expy: Of Nikandreos, Humanity's last champion from Apotheon.
- Heroic Mime: He is quiet to the point he rarely if ever speaks, though others can understand his messages and intentions well enough from his gestures or expressions.
- Internal Affairs: Sort of. The Judicae - the scions of the Justice Primeval - frequently hire or work with him hunt down and eliminate Fallen and evil deities who don't follow the rules and had long-evaded the justice for their crimes.
- Kill the God: Managed to do this to a significant portion of the Olympian Pantheon during the 'Twilight of the Olympians'. Post-ascension he got 'Godslaying' as one of his domains and spends much of his time helping mortals kill off Evil and Jerkass Gods when not doing the job himself.
- Meaningful Name: Nikealogos means 'Horse of Victory', akin to his inspiration Nikandreos' name, which means 'Man of Victory'.
- Pro-Human Transhuman: Despite having ascended to godhood, he's noted to be highly sympathetic to ordinary mortals due to being one of them once and is adamant in protecting them from other evil and dangerous deities.
- The Quiet One: He's noted to be quiet and reserved to the point many never heard him speak. It's attributed to be partly as a result of his PTSD.
- Shell-Shocked Veteran: He's noted to be suffering from PTSD and Survivor's Guilt as a result of trauma from his battles as well as his losses during the Twilight of the Olympians. This had been attributed to his quietness as well as his drive to continue slaying gods in hopes that no one would suffer as he had.
- The Strategist: He never goes into battle against his opponents without a plan, taking out his opponents in a methodological and calculated manner at an efficiency noted to be terrifying to behold.
- How he took out Apollo, the arrogant Olympian god of the Sun, Arts and Civilization demonstrates his credentials. At the advice of his allies, he destroyed his Sun chariot (So he can't fly with it), assassinated his bodyguards (so they can't help him), got a boon from a Water-Nymph whom he wronged (so Nikealogos could have an edge), snuffed out every light in his palace (so he can't draw power to use), and hit him with one of his own plagues (so to force him to fight Nikealogos weakened) before Nikealogos faced him in combat.
- The Stoic: His usual default expression is noted to be one of 'quiet resolve'.
- Weapon Specialization: One of his preferred weapons is the Spear of Diomanedes, the weapon of the legendary King Diomandes who once wounded Machis with it, and is still capable of harming gods. During the Twilight of the Olympians he almost ran Zeus through with it, if not for Kratos getting in the way.
- World's Best Warrior: He's widely considered among the deadliest deities of his generation, and likely among the deadliest warriors even as a mortal. To note, during the 'Twilight of the Olympians' he killed off a significant portion of the Olympian Pantheon and their Divine/Semi-Divine scions/allies as well as their forces by himself, managing to rival Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta's own kill-count despite being an otherwise ordinary mortal Unicorn.
