"I may not always win but I never back out of a fight."
- Johnny Lawrence, (Cobra Kai)

"I hope I don't regret this," I murmured quietly before swiftly grabbing Ares' helm from where it was lying near Hercules' feet. The demi-god remained so engrossed in his spellcasting, his eyes shut in concentration, that he remained completely oblivious to my actions.
"What? Why was I suddenly transported here? I thought I was finally going to have an epic fight with Hercules." I mumbled unhappily while surveying my surroundings.
I was back within the confines of my mind palace, my mind library to be exact. However, sothing was different here today. The entire atmosphere of the library which was the core of my mind looked gloomier than normal, like emitting a sense of deep and ominous foreboding. Moreover, the entire structure seed to be trembling every few minutes as if being attacked by so unseen force.
Concerned about the security of my ntal fortress, I swiftly activated the multitude of television screens mounted on the walls of my inner ntal library. They were specially made by to provide real-ti surveillance of every nook and cranny of my ntal dungeon and were precisely intended for ergencies such as this.
Most screens displayed identical scenes: different sections of the dungeon shrouded in a darker atmosphere than usual, experiencing periodic tremors at different intervals. Yet, amidst this, a notable anomaly caught my attention. Certain areas of the dungeon walls were covered by a blood-red moss-like substance, their tendrils attempting to corrupt my mind while slowly corroding its defenses.
However, that was not all. On another screen, a dark, imposing figure engaged in combat against a swarm of hundreds of Xenomorphs with just a Warhamr in his hand. Clad in heavy armor, the figure fought with almost chanical precision, not uttering even a single word while endlessly slaying the ugly monsters without rest. But contrary to his silent nature, his way of fighting was entirely different and sowhat familiar. He was fighting like an experienced bloodthirsty savage, each strike of his hamr ant to swiftly crush his foes.
"Ares" I muttered, recognizing the armored figure. "So, I am under a ntal attack due to wearing his helt, maybe under a spiritual attack as well... Goddamn it." I cursed at my misfortune.
Don't misunderstand, my ntal shields were more than powerful enough to hold even his godly remnant ego back but that was only if I focused completely on strengthening and fortifying my ntal defenses. But currently, I don't have that luxury. I needed to focus and do my best to stop Hercules and whatever he was trying to summon, not protecting myself from the psychic attack of a rabid god.
However, in that case, my ntal defenses would only be able to hold this psionic Ares for twenty minutes at most without actively reinforcing my ntal fortifications, which ant I only had twenty minutes to stop Hercules.
'I am glad I made those agents super strong. They possess the capability to manipulate Xenomorphs and inhabit their bodies, rendering them nearly immortal as long as a single Xenomorph remains. Their leader, Agent. Smith can even replicate himself onto others trying to invade my mind and thus take complete control over their minds... although I doubt, he would be able to do the sa with Ares' remnant ego. Nonetheless, every second they buy for is valuable.' I thought before starting a ntal countdown for 20 minutes on one of the screens.

"Άνοιξε τις πύλες του χρόνου, αιώνιε Ίαπετε, Τιτάνα των δυτικών αιθέρων, θεού της δύναμης και της διαρκείας." Hercules continued to cast his spell using the energy from his own divine power along with his newly gained authority over the well of souls, the sa well that the Amazons used as their private reincarnation cycle to make sure that every fallen Amazon could safely reincarnate and the next generation of Amazons could be replenished, making sure that every birth on Themyscira brought forth a female, but never a male.
With a victorious smile playing on his lips and his eyes closed in utmost focus, he chanted the spell required for the ritual. Despite his initial joy at finally being able to overco the Amazons after so many centuries of struggle, he still remained vigilant. In fact, he could not afford to be careless since he was not rely summoning so random monster but was about to unlock the very gates of the pits of Tartarus itself, to call forth the sa titan that the Olympians had once banished and imprisoned at the most ruthless depths of Hades, the Greek hell.
But while Hercules was engrossed in executing the ritual of resurrection, an unexpected event unfolded that Hercules could never even have dread of. Out of nowhere, the heaviest kick Hercules had ever felt in his life landed directly on his groin, the full power of the sudden blow bypassing even the defense of Hercules' thick tal armor.
"AAAHHHHH" Hercules released a painful scream, abruptly halting the ritual as he experienced the worst agony that any man could ever feel in his life. Even though the kick had only lasted for a second, he could still clearly feel the sensation of the behemoth's foot-wearing spiked tal plates that had just plunged onto his balls, forcing him to experience a "world-ending" level of pain. The Greek "Hero" could even almost feel the taste of copper in his mouth, a bitter reminder that no matter how strong, Hercules still wasn't invincible.
"Who dares to attack the manhood of the great Hercules?" He shouted in anger while looking around for the perpetrator of the despicable cri.
Before he could register the figure in front of him, another blow ca; this ti, in the form of a headbutt as Ares' divine helt almost made a dent in Hercules' forehead.
A deep and heavy voice suddenly struck Hercules's dazed ears as he felt another "Herculean" punch connecting with his face. "Blood for the Bat God"
