@Rubick-kun: I dunno. I feel like this is more a chance to rope some other god into the fights. Hermes, perhaps, given all the foreshadowing of him being pretty powerful. Maybe to keep the same number of matches, it’ll be a 2-on-2 fight.
He turned into a god by drinking The Nectar (iirc zeus's blood or something). He didn't turn into full god actually, only after he fulfill his seven task that he was granted godhood.
