With the other two left behind he had nothing better to do than stretch his legs, may as well survey the damage. And not with them, out of principle mostly. He was curious though, seeing God territory wrecked was an interesting sight, it had survived the war so to see it so thoroughly thrashed was impressive. It spoke volumes of what they were up against, or rather what they had been up against. He had to remind himself this world had failed, or worlds rather. Judging from the two copies of the mountains at least.
The words of the Fates rang in his head and they still didn't sit well with him. A foe he can't win against, but one that he could help lift others to take down. The fates knew what they were talking about, they could see the threads of destiny, he knew that. But that didn't mean he had to like it. And they were not always right, fate could be defied, but still. It was hard to imagine that anyone here had what it took. Even his own daughter lacked the apparent confidence in the strength and ability of her own allies to trust in them to be safe.
That was disappointing for sure. But the world was large, the Fates never said the ones he needed to find were in God Territory. It's just where he happened to land.

Cain, perhaps in contrast to Mathew, is struggling to climb up the second Olympus, panting mostly from the fact that he was still healing from his battle.
He wasn't sure what he was going to find, but the best he could hope for was answers. That way, he could perhaps protect what was left, and begin rebuilding.
"Haaa... haaa... fuckin'.... mountain... why's this one just as... fuckin' big...?"

Seeing someone trying to scale Olympus Mathew would chuckle to himself before sliding two fingers into his mouth and letting out a shrill whistle to get his attention.
"Doubt anyone's up there to make you a God. Better luck next time bucko."

Cain's head jerks to the side, and he scowls at the other man.
"I'm already a God... fucker... who are you?"
Good time to catch his breath for a second.

"A god that doesn't get tired climbing up Olympus for one."
He'd snort. No wonder this world lost.

"Well, fuck me for being tired after killing something that killed all the other elder gods."
Cain snorts right back.
"Maybe it's different since this isn't my Olympus?"

"Maybe you're just not worthy."
Not a question, just an observation.

"How would you know?"
Cain scowls at him.

"For one thing you don't even know who I am, and I've already seen at least one statue of me but none of you here. Soooooo..."
Either he wasn't that bright, or not that impressive. Maybe both! The jury was out on that one still.

"Your statues kept up at the top, or something?"
Cain frowns even more.
"Look buddy, I don't know what the fuck is going on, but I haven't seen shit about you, and I've only recently become a God. I'd say I'm doing pretty well."

"Show me then. Last thing I killed was so weak I'd say it was a Barker experiment. So if you think you can do better then prove it."

Cain gives a slow breath, through the nose, then nods. He kind of expected this Olympus to be hostile, to be honest.
"Fine."

Mathew gestured for the guy to come at him. He wasn't gonna hit him with a sucker punch, there was no need for such things.
"I'll even give you the first blow, because I'm such a nice guy."

"If that's what you want. Even still, I'm not out to kill you."
Cain unsheathes his sword from behind him.
"I'm sure we've both got shit to do."

"Doubt you could if you tried."
He'd say with a smirk, bending down to grab some of the dirt off of the ground before straightening and letting the grains fall as he shifted into a fighting stance.
