Times Square New York-Noon
Methodius had made his choice of location very carefully so as to ensure the world would be able to watch as he displayed to them his true power. He needed to cement his godhood in the eyes of mortals and to him the how didn't matter. Fear was a powerful tool used by the old gods to convince the people of their power so why shouldn't he do the same. His instructions were very clear, to leave the vessel of Zeus in Time Square where the world would watch their new God King take the power he desired so strongly.
The place was crowded, people moved about like ants in a hive. Darting in and out of various structures in their blissful ignorance of just how fleeting the concept of a normal day was. For the day was about to change into something rather extraordinary even by modern standards. He allowed the purple wisps of energy that whipped and flowed beneath his feet to dissipate. Gravity took hold of his mass; pulling it towards the very top level of the red steps where he would collide with a powerful THUD. People didn't even bat an eye, they simply went on with their scurrying from place to place. A few jumped, others clapped, but a majority of the population gave him no attention at all. He would have to move on with phase two sooner then expected.
A single thought brought about a change in the location, from behind his position walls of impenetrable purple shot outwards closing any gaps where mortals could enter or exit. Vehicles began to collide with each other in a desperate attempt not to impact the purple crafts of the God King. People now turned their attention towards him, panic beginning to spread.
"MORTALS OF NEW YORK. I AM THE GOD KING METHODIUS."
His voice boomed like thunder through the crowds of individuals looking to either run for their lives or take video from behind the closest cover. Methodius however, proceeded down the steps towards the crowds. As he drew closer they began to back away with looks of fear forming on their puny faces.
"TODAY I SEEK TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ENTERTAINMENT. A BATTLE BETWEEN GODS SHALL BE WAGED IN YOUR STREETS FOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU TO WITNESS. AS AN ACT OF GOOD FAITH, THOSE OF YOU WHO VALUE YOUR LIVES MAY LEAVE MY WALLS AND WATCH FROM AFAR. FOR TODAY I SHOW YOU ALL WHO YOU'RE ONE TRUE GOD IS."
He snapped his fingers crafting doorways for citizens to flee through, some of them chose another option though. They were designated protectors of the people, their weapons now trained on him and their words ordering him to stop. These were guns, Methodius had encountered guns before and they were quite underwhelming. Now all he had to do was wait for Emil to deliver Zeus's vessel via aircraft as requested and the show could begin.
