Chapter 3 - Kratos vs The Brothers of Doom

Kratos stood alone on the battlefield, staring into the burning horizon. He had heard the names — Ignis and Boreas — two god-brothers whose combined powers could destroy entire realms.

"Even I cannot face them both… not like this."

He clenched his fists and turned toward the ancient ruins of the Forgotten Forge, where a legendary weapon was said to lie — a weapon that could rival godly power.

Step 2: Journey for the Weapon

As Kratos made his way through cursed forests and broken lands, hordes of monsters tried to stop him — twisted beasts made from fire, ice, and shadow.

He fought through a lava wyvern guarding the volcanic pass. Faced a giant armored troll whose club shattered stone. And even battled a phantom army summoned by the gods to slow him down.

Wounded and enraged, Kratos finally reached the forge — where the legendary weapon awaited.

Step 3: The Weapon Trial

But the weapon was not just lying there.

Kratos had to fight the Guardian of the Flame, an ancient titan made of steel and magma. The battle nearly killed him — his blades shattered, his chest crushed, but in one final scream of rage, Kratos drove a broken blade through the beast's core.

🔱 New Weapon Acquired: The Sun-Splitter Spear — forged from celestial fire, it burns even gods.

Step 4: The Armor of the Ancients

Next, Kratos traveled to the frozen crypt of the Mountain Lords, where the Armor of Aegiron was sealed. But to claim it, he had to defeat the spirits of nine ancient warriors, one after the other.

He fought in complete silence, blood freezing on his skin, until at last, he stood victorious — barely breathing.

🛡️ Armor Acquired: Aegiron's Wrath — grants protection from extreme fire and frost magic.

Step 5: The Final Ascent

Now armed and armored, Kratos climbed the Twinspire Peaks — the sacred battleground of Ignis and Boreas.

High in the clouds, he found them:

Ignis blazing like the sun. Boreas cloaked in frost and mist.

They stood waiting.

Step 6: The Deadly Battle Begins

The sky cracked.

The ground shattered.

The gods roared.

🔥❄️ Ignis: "You dare bring fire into my domain?"

❄️🔥 Boreas: "You should have stayed dead, Ghost of Sparta."

Kratos spun his new spear and charged — the most epic, brutal, and close battle of his life had begun.

⚔️ Chapter: War in the Sky – Kratos vs Ignis & Boreas

The wind howled at the top of Twinspire Peaks, snow swirling with embers in the air. Kratos stood still, the Sun-Splitter Spear gripped tightly in one hand, his new armor glowing faintly with runes of protection.

Across the mountaintop stood the two brothers:

Ignis, cloaked in flame, every step melting the stone beneath him. Boreas, wrapped in cold mist, frost spreading wherever his eyes gazed.

Ignis: "You came to die, God Killer."

Boreas: "Together, we are the storm you cannot survive."

🌪️🔥 The First Strike

They attacked simultaneously.

Ignis launched a flaming shockwave that split the mountain ridge. Boreas hurled an ice spear that exploded into frozen spikes mid-air.

Kratos leapt, dodging both — but a burst of fire caught his leg, searing flesh. He landed hard, rolled, and threw the Sun-Splitter Spear straight at Boreas. It hit — but passed through an illusion. Boreas had used Mirror Frost.

Suddenly from behind, Ignis slammed into Kratos, blasting him with a Hellfire Nova.

Kratos screamed, flames tearing at his armor — only Aegiron's Wrath kept him alive.

🩸 The Turn of the Tide

Burning, bleeding, Kratos slammed his blades together and let out a Spartan Rage roar. The skies shook.

He launched at Boreas — tackled him mid-air, slammed him into a rock wall — and drove his blades into the god's chest. But just before the kill, Ignis tackled Kratos, sending them both flying into a pit of lava below.

Kratos gritted his teeth. "Then burn with me."

He plunged his Sun-Splitter Spear into the lava — triggering a massive eruption that sent both warriors soaring.

❄️🔥 The Brother Trap

Back on the battlefield, the brothers combined their power:

Boreas froze the sky above Kratos, locking him inside a dome of ice. Ignis ignited the ground, turning it into a pool of fire.

Trapped in a furnace of death, Kratos dropped to one knee.

But then — with a roar of rage, Kratos drove the Sun-Splitter into the icy dome, channeling fire through it — shattering the sky-cage and sending shards of burning ice everywhere.

One shard drove through Boreas' shoulder. The cold god stumbled.

🗡️ The Final Blow

Bleeding from the mouth, limping, Kratos faced Ignis, who was charging with a blade of flame.

At the last second, Kratos ducked under it, grabbed Ignis' arm, and used him as a living torch to ignite Boreas — turning their power against each other.

As they screamed in fury, Kratos launched high into the air and threw his Sun-Splitter Spear with full strength — it split into three blazing copies, each targeting a brother's heart and the mountain itself.

A blinding explosion.

When the smoke cleared…

The peaks were shattered.

Ignis and Boreas lay broken.

And Kratos, kneeling in ash and snow, whispered:

"You should've fought me alone."

🔥❄️ The Brothers of Doom are dead.

Kratos stands victorious — but barely breathing.

🌌 Chapter: The Gate to the Godrealm

As the bodies of Ignis and Boreas dissolved into ash, the mountains began to rumble… not from the battle, but from something ancient waking beneath.

Suddenly, behind their ruined thrones, the earth split open.

A massive obsidian gate rose from the depths, covered in celestial symbols, glowing with energy that felt older than time itself. It pulsed with a voice only Kratos could hear:

"You have broken the balance. Now face the gods who were never meant to be touched."

The gate opened.

Inside was a swirling black and gold portal — a tear in reality — leading to the Godrealm, the hidden dimension where the most legendary, overpowered gods had hidden themselves from the cosmos.

🌀 Entering the Forbidden Realm

Kratos stepped through.

On the other side lay a realm unlike any he had ever seen — skies made of galaxies, mountains floating in the air, temples the size of worlds, and gods walking like giants among stars.

This was Aetherion, home of the untouchable — gods whose names were whispered only in forbidden texts.

Here, Kratos was no longer the hunter.

He was the invader.

⚔️ Kratos' Next Mission

The voice of an unseen god thundered across the sky:

"Kratos... you defile sacred ground."

"You are a mistake. You will be erased."

But Kratos looked up at the sky of gods, gripped his weapons, and growled:

"Then I'll destroy every corner of this heaven… and everyone in it."

🌠 Next Chapter Tease: War Against the Pantheon

In the next chapter, Kratos will:

Fight his way through the Celestial Army, elite warriors powered by starlight. Face a god-engine fortress that's alive and weaponized. Take on the first of the High Gods, whose power dwarfs even Thareon and Sylvra.

🌌 Chapter: The Quiet Before the Chaos

After stepping into Aetherion, the land of the legendary gods, Kratos walked through impossible landscapes — rivers of starlight, trees that whispered ancient memories, and skies that shifted with thought.

Though this realm pulsed with divine power, there was no immediate battle.

He wandered until he found it.

🛏️ The Silent Garden

Hidden in the shadow of a shattered moon, there was a small floating island surrounded by calm water. At its center stood a stone temple, untouched by war.

Inside, a simple chamber.

No gold. No thrones.

Just a resting platform made of silver roots and star-crystal.

Kratos stepped inside.

He did not remove his armor.

He did not put down his weapon.

But for the first time in days… he closed his eyes.

"The war is not over… but I will meet it with strength."

And Aetherion itself seemed to pause.

The gods were watching.

The calm would not last.

But for now, the Ghost of Sparta rested — preparing to shatter paradise.

🌙 Dream of the Doom God

While Kratos rested in the silent temple, the stars above Aetherion began to flicker strangely — as if they feared something approaching.

Then… darkness.

The world around him faded, and Kratos found himself standing in a void of nothingness, weightless, breathless — but not alone.

A deep, ancient voice echoed through the black:

"You have entered the realm of the unkillable."

"There is one… even you cannot face without becoming what you hate."

Kratos turned, fists clenched. "Speak."

"His name is KHAL'ZUR… the Endbringer.

He is the god of extinction — the one even the High Gods sealed away."

"To end this war… you must kill him."

Suddenly, visions flooded Kratos' mind:

A towering god cloaked in black smoke and bone armor. Planets burning at his feet. Entire pantheons erased by a single sweep of his hand.

The voice whispered one final warning:

"But beware… Khal'Zur does not kill. He erases."

"Even gods forget they ever lived."

🌌 Kratos Awakens

Kratos opened his eyes — fists clenched, chest rising heavy with rage and purpose.

"Then I'll carve my name into him before he tries."

The time for rest was over.

Next: Kratos begins his march toward Khal'Zur, through the divine empire of Aetherion — where gods fall, and legends are rewritten.

But he remember that Khal'Zur said that there are his overpowered slave gods in between them, Kratos have to fight them first .

Now kratos is in way to fight Zyraxa - The Reality Devourer
