But Kratos had no need for the love of petty gods. He had found a new family in the warriors of Sparta, gaining solace from his past in the carnage of battle."

"ZEUUUUUS! Is this how you face me, coward?! I am THROUGH doing the bidding of the gods! Come down here and face me now, Zeus!"

"If all on Olympus will deny me my vengeance, then all on Olympus will die. I have lived in the shadow of the gods for long enough! The time of the gods has come to the end!
— Kratos, finally deciding that enough is enough
"ZEUS! YOUR SON HAS RETURNED! I BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF OLYMPUS!"
