A second archon of destruction has entered the fray, intent on slaughtering the tyrannical Myths holding sway over the world, but she will not be satisfied to simply kill them -- she will unmake them, transforming them from beings that rule mortals into legends people vaguely remember. They will not just die... they will be Ended. Only she and her companions have the power to do it.
She will interact with mortals that barely understand her, seeing her just as they see gods and monsters: as a terrible being that has more power than they can imagine. She can break Thor's jaw, but getting a little girl to smile instead of running from her glorious and horrific visage? That doesn't come easily to one who wields Mythic power.
She will struggle against becoming a god herself. She lives in the vicious cycle of apotheosis and deicide, as she must take on the corrupting powers of the Mythic World in order to End its gods. Each time she takes more much-needed power, she takes a step away from her mortal soul and a step closer to becoming a Myth.
Or maybe she'll ignore all that "humanity" business and go pedal to the effing metal, diving headfirst into the heart of Myth and leaving piles of corpses in her wake. She'll gain power by making mortals worship her as a god. And eventually, her comrades will be forced to murder her Mythic ass.
At least one more immensely powerful agent of deicide willing to risk becoming a soon-to-be-axed-in-the-face god is required to kick ass and erase names to a heavy metal soundtrack, to dance on the knife's edge between having the power to slaughter abominations and becoming an abomination yourself, to hand the Mythic World its own ass ripped in twain.
Let's do it already.
