[Zeus POV]
The brat had dared to oppose in more than one occasion, declaring himself as the enemy of Olympus as a whole, his transgressions were severe, like temporarily killing my son Dionysus in battle and permanently killing my grandson Priapus prior to that, and that was just the most recent ones… the little bastard had managed to get Hestia and Athena betray me alongside various minor gods that now were rebelling against me.
But I wasn't worried at all about this upbringing, for no matter what they did… Adam the god of nothing and his allies would soon face the wrath of Olympus, and fail like many before to carry out their deepest desire, my throne.
"Persephone and Hades are not responding to our callings," Hera commented, as she sat on her throne, "I think is safe to assume they are also siding with him,"
"Ha!" I barked in laughter, had my brother, Hades lower his standards so much that he now bows to a child?! "Let him, I shall personally punish him for betraying me," maybe taking Persephone from him permanently would teach him a lesson.
"I know that look…." Deméter hissed in anger, "I don't care what you do to our brother, but keep your hands away from my daughter!"
In anger I slammed my fist into the throne, breaking it in half, "Know your place Deméter, and don't presume you can tell me what I can or cannot do!"
"You insufferable brat!" Demeter stood up, glaring at me, "I don't blame Hestia and Athena for betraying you, you are despicable!"
"Watch your tone!" I angrily reminded her.
"Or what?!" Demeter laughed bitterly, "You will kill me?! Go ahead! Kill one of your allies, might as well do it while I still am,"
I glared at her, summoning my master bolt, if she was so eager to bath in the waters of Hades, I would gladly oblige, "Enough!" Hera shouted, "Fighting among each other will solve nothing!"
"Tell that to the entitled brat you have for a husband," Deméter snorted, "I will go and talk with Persephone, and let you guys know what is the situation with them," with that Deméter teleported out of Olympus, leaving her throne empty.
"This is all his fault!" I hissed, throwing my master bolt at Demeter's throne, obliterating it, "Everything was under control until he appeared!"
"I know, which is why we have to act smart Zeus… don't let your anger cloud your judgment," Hera sighed rubbing her temples ever so lightly, "As we speak, Adam is gathering forces in every possible way… and we have to do the same… if we keep antagonizing our current allies we will lose this war… so we have to act smart… his entire campaign was made to target those who had suffered under you reign, all thanks to Athena no doubt,"
"And with Hestia on his side, most think his cause is the just one," I sighed.
"Exactly," Hera nodded, "And with Kronos moving we have to act fast… we have two wars to fight and barely enough power to win them all,"
"I had almost forgotten Kronos was on the move," I begrudgingly admitted.
"Perhaps we can exploit that…" Hera smiled, "As I see it… we have three options… one we kill Adam and end this rebellion before it gets out of hand… two we form a temporary alliance with him to stop Kronos and then we stab him on the back… or my personal favorite… we let Kronos and Adam fight each other… and then we kill whoever is left,"
"What is to say they won't ally themselves to take me out…." I remarked, while the idea of having Kronos and Adam killing each was more than enticing, I felt there was a very high possibility they hated me more than they hated each other, "No… That idea could backfire horribly… I think it's best if we focus our efforts on killing Adam first, after that the rest of the Gods that followed him will like always come back to crawling and begging from my protection, and then… only then we kill Kronos, but right now… Adam is our top priority,"

[Demeter POV]
When Persephone asked me to join Adam, I was skeptical, a boy ruling over the gods, laughable, but then I remembered Zeus was perhaps worse than having a kid ruling us, so I accepted her offer, and had since then acted as a double agent only Persephone and Hades knows about.
Was Adam a better option than Zeus to rule over us? I couldn't really tell… I mean… I didn't know him at all…. All I knew was that my Persephone loved him, she even considered him one of her closest friends… but as she had proved in the past by marrying Hades… Her tastes in friends and husbands was debatable at best.
But, considering the other option right now was Zeus, I had hope Adam was better than him… I mean Hestia loved him… maybe not the best peer reference... considering that… well… Hestia loves everyone, no matter who they are, but in this case her love was… it was different… she abandoned her family for him, which was something none of us expected… and she did it all for him. If that wasn't a guarantee the kid was worth the shot… nothing was.
"Demeter," Hades hissed in disdain as I entered his realm, "I hope your visit is short… your presence is like poison ivy in my pants,"
"Charming," I rolled my eyes at him, "I have not come to socialize with you, Hades," I remarked with palpable hate, "For now, we have a common ground… you could say, so let's try to be professional,"
"As you wish," Hades sneered.
"Oh my god, it has been over ten thousand years! Can you two get over it!" Persephone groaned as she came into view.
"He stole you from me!" I screamed.
"And I made her a Queen," Hades shot back, "And to this day I have honored her!"
"Sure," I snorted, "So how do I call your demigods? Respect and love? Poetic names,"
"Mom, I know you hate him for the kidnapping and stuff… and yes he has been unfaithful a couple times, but so have I… we have since then worked through our problems and we are better now," Persephone smiled, hugging me, "And Hades… you have to admit, she has good reasons to hate you…"
"I…. fair enough," Hades nodded reluctantly.
"Well… onto what I came to do…" I breathed out, "Zeus is on the move so we have to act quickly, if we want to win this… we have to convince… Poseidon of helping us,"
"Adam is close if not in our level already, with Poseidon defeating him should be entirely possible," Hades nodded, "But we all know fish brains will want the crown for himself, and while I have no interest in ruling Olympus, I rather work for Adam than for Poseidon,"
"I agree," Ergh, those words directed to Hades felt wrong… too wrong, but he was right, if someone was possibly worse than Zeus at ruling, it was Poseidon, "But we still need his help,"
"Well… Adam has the help of the Norse Gods and apparently the help of Sun Wukong," Persephone stated sheepishly, shocking me to the core… just how in Tartarus did Adam manage to ally himself with two pantheons so fast…
"Then… perhaps we don't need the help of Nemo," I chuckled, I had to admit… the kid… Adam was proving to be very interesting.
