Zeus

**Zeus** is the Leader of the Olympian Gods and head of the 12 Olympian Council. He is the God of the sky and lightning, brother to Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter and Hestia and father to the other seven members.

## Personality

Zeus has a twisted personality, one that originated from his birth with no parental love. He hates Kronos and is thoroughly obsessed with the fact he has slayed the god to become the current lord of Olympus.

As shown from his relationship with his mother, Zeus genuinely loves her and desires for her to return his affection and receive maternal love and care. As seen from his inner thoughts, he had thought that due to Kronos having turned into a brutal tyrant and cause his mother grief by his actions, Zeus assumed that by killing him, he would be showered with praise and affection by her for making the one to grieve her so to die and was completely flabbergasted by her instead resenting him for it. This in turn caused his relationship with his mother to deteriorate further as he began to lash out to her in response.

Possibly due to his own unstable relationship with his father and mother, Zeus neglects not only his wives, but also his children. Seemingly as he is unwilling to do what he never received. The new generation of Olympus that includes Hermes and Athena have all experienced Zeus' indifference, Persephone being a byproduct of Demeter's wish to tie Zeus down. This in turn caused Zeus to have a nearly hostile relationship with almost all his children.

After losing the throne to Cha Yeon-woo, Zeus had already plotted to retake it after obtaining the right as the one true God of Creation. He is unwilling to admit the vast gap between himself and Yeon-woo, ever more so when he learns that he is also Kronos' son and his younger brother. Thus he becomes extremely paranoid and jealous by doing anything to take back what he believes is rightfully his.

As seen from his fights against his younger brother, Zeus was shown to have a highly inflated ego and narcissistic arrogance that causes him to constantly severely underestimate others and overestimate his own power. This trait was stated by Yeon-woo and Yvlke to be one of his most defining personality trait and his greatest character flaw, as it causes him to fight against other powerful opponents without actually considering the possibility that they could be stronger than him.

## History

Born as the last child between Kronos and Rhea. As his other siblings were swallowed away by Kronos into his void, his mother secretly hid him and sent him away. Years later he would come back and enact the myth that makes him the Lord of Olympus by killing his father.

Upon the fall of Kronos and liberation of his siblings, Rhea handed over the throne of Olympus to him.

Raised without parental care and love, Zeus yarns for the affection from his mother the most after returning. After Rhea had handed over the throne to him, she with drew from the affairs of Olympus and went into seclusion.

Prior to the current story line, Zeus and other leaders within the 98th floor of the Obelisk faced off against the Heavenly Demon in an attempt to escape the Obelisk after they and their soceities were imprisoned in it. They were all defeated and injured heavily as a result. Before he succumbed to the sickness of the injuries, he visited his mother once again, only to see her still wallowing in her sorrows and missing Kronos. He reminds her that he is already dead, to which she states his actions did not result in what Rhea desired as she did not save him so that he could kill his father. He leaves and eventually becomes inactive in slumber.

Zeus, along with the other slumbering leaders all made a deal with Harmonia, the leader of the Sea of Time, to participate in the event of the one true god of creation. With the confirmation with Yvlke, they all awoke at the same time and headed to the hidden stage to compete for the title of one true God of Creation and obtain the chance at changing the source code of the system.

## Powers & Abilities

As one of the children of Kronos and Rhea, Zeus is undoubtedly one of the most powerful Gods within the 98th Floor of the Obelisk, with him stating to have power easily rivaling the other Supreme Gods of the Major Godly Societies within the Floor.

He is tied first place with Brahm and the Jade Emperor in strength as a god of creation. Like the rest of them however, his strength is below Bivasbat.

After the Tower's collapse, Zeus was stated to have taken advantage of the chaos of the situation in order to attack and kill several of the other chief Gods of the other Godly Societies. Successfully absorbing them into himself and assimilating their divine authorities as the Gods of creation into himself, boosting his power massively.

However, after attacking and trying to defeat the Black King's Ego and being defeated, Zeus was stated to have nearly lost all of his power and was reduced to a state that was dangerously close to "falling" and losing his power as a God altogether and becoming a mortal.

### Authority

#### Lightning & Sky

As the god of lightning and sky, he wields vast control over the element of lightning, being capable of generating gigantic amounts of electricity and commanding the sky to create thunder clouds.

He is the Lord of Olympus and grandson of Ouranos who created the sky and Olympus, Zeus takes on that title as one of many Gods of Creation in his place. This allows him to take the throne and rule over the other Olympian gods.

* **Power:** Like all Transcendents, Zeus possess a supernatural "[Power]" that embodies his "concept" as a God.
	+ **Lightning of Heavens:**

### Soulstone

Zeus is in possession of one of Luciel's soul stones, specifically having been loaned one from the floor guardian Yvlke as part of an agreement between them for the contest of the title of "Supreme God of Creation". After the destruction of the Tower, he comes into contact with another, totaling two. Zeus's Soulstones themselves are implanted in both of his eyes.

However, after trying to attack the Ego of the Black King, he loses them and is sent back to Olympus in a weakened form.

* **Caritas:** The Soulstone Symbolizing "Charity" of the Seven Virtues. Caritas was stated to be the direct opposite of the Stone of Superbia. Caritas was the power that shared and gave. In other words, meeting stronger opponents would allow its user to use an increasingly amplified amount of holy power as they continue to fight them. The Soulstone itself is shown to take the form of one of Zeus's Eyes. Using it, Zeus was shown to have boosted his power and successfully slaughtered and absorbed several of the other Supreme Gods in the battle royal and taken their power for himself.

* **Industria:** The Soulstone symbolizing "Diligence" of the Seven Virtues.

### Items

* **Astrape:** Zeus's Astrape was forged by his uncles, the three cyclops brothers in the battle against the titans. The Astrape itself is Zeus's Holy Artifact and the object that symbolizes his territory and power as a Supreme God and as such contains a significant amount of his Holy Power.
* **Astrape Replica:** Another, presumably a replica, of Zeus's Astrape was stored within the treasury of Olympus as a bonus prize for whoever scores highest for the first 10 Floors of the Obelisk. The Replica itself was claimed by Cha Yeon-woo but was destroyed and re-forged into another item.
