The second Greek God weapon showcase! The King of the Gods! Zeus' weapon, the Master Bolt. The Master bolt is the symbol of power of Zeus. It's forged by the Cyclopes, and has an overpowering ability. It is said that it will make Hydro Bombs(bombs that use nuclear fusion. It's stronger than atomic bombs, which use nuclear fission.) look like petty firecrackers. This lightning bolt hurled Kronos, the Titan Lord, from his throne, and killed many, many monsters during the Titanomachy(the fight between the gods and the titans).
The shape in ancient drawings had led to right now's zig-zag pattern. But, in Percy Jackson, it is said that it is a Celestial-Bronze capped rod, which turns into pure lightning in Zeus' hands. So, we can say that the shape of the bolt varies.
Plus, the Bolt has some violent history.
It was forged by the eldest Cyclopes.
It struck Kronos and banished him to Tartarus.
It struck down Kronos' fellow titans to Tartarus.
It had destroyed Salmoneus and he now ceases to exist.(One of the powers of the master bolt is to literally banish one from the world, so it cannot even go to the Underworld.)
It destroyed many, many things(like Mt. Etna).
This is it for today.
