While he plots however, Strife turns up and ignoring his threats to slay her as he has done to the other gods, she plots to be his next bride.
Demeter finds herself under attack from Cassandra, who arrives fighting Hermes. The Goddess quickly deals with the woman however only to come under attack from the Minotaur. As Artemis and Eros arrive to assist, they are soon also joined by Wonder Woman who takes the brute down. But The First Born has also arrived and begins to destroy the tree of life. Diana orders the others to make their escape back to Paradise Island as she confronts the First Born, using a flaming arrow to set fire to the shattered wood now surrounding him.
