Zeus King of the gods has lost faith in humanity seeing that nothing could ever redeem them he decided that it was time for him to die. He destroyed his throne with a lightning bolt that alerted his wife Hera the Queen of the Gods. When Zeus looked at her all he saw was regret for not treating her and appreciating that no matter what he did she forgave him and stood at his side that beautiful chestnut haired browned eye woman in her white flowing dress with her gold chain necklace around her neck. Hera said,"what are you doing why are you destroying your throne?" Zeus said "the time of the gods is over humanity no matter how many times we remake destroy and try again will never be fixed. They are a never-ending cycle of destruction and never will realize that life is cause and effect. That for every act of hatred will result in revenge and that we all deserve some decency." Hera cried out," But if you go it will be a civil war where Apollo will blast the sun and fry everyone alive." Zeus with no remorse said,"The world will be purified in that fire and who am I to stop that mercy." Hera wailed and cried and Zeus put his smooth right hand on her cheek and Hera look up at him taking one last look at his sky blue eyes that when angry turn black and gold but with his sadness all she saw was ocean blue and his grey hair and she remembered all the pain they caused each other but also all the joy from their kids even though some of them are complete screw ups to there wedding day to all the times they spent time together on the balcony of Olympus seeing the stars. She kissed him one last time and accepted that he was right that humanity deserves to burn. With the last thought, Zeus killed himself with the world's biggest lighting strike that also killed Hera. Apollo in an attempt to wipe out all gods also killed all humanity in one giant solar flare. With that, the world and humanity died because they lost the favor and grace of the gods.
