Thunderbolt

The master bolt is a thunderbolt that is signature weapon of Zeus portrayed as a shaft of crystallized lightning that can discharge blazing, white-hot bolts of pure electricity, the first of which all other lightning is patterned. When deactivated it is a five metre long cylindrical metal sceptre topped with a live golden eagle made of high-grade Celestial bronze capped on both ends with blades of god-level explosives. It is unfathomably potent, with enough firepower to make mortal hydrogen bombs look like harmless party poppers in contrast according to Chiron. When the master bolt is activated, the razor-sharp blades of the rod extend and shoot electric lightning bolts, making it look like a classic thunderbolt. It is considered the most powerful weapon ever created by the Elder Cyclopes in Classical mythology. It is strong enough to incinerate Kampe, vaporize Porphyrion, '''sweep the storm giant Typhon off his feet, disintegrate Kronos’ void-black palace and hurl the Titan King from his Stygian-iron throne thus putting an end to his tyrannical reign of terror'''. Zeus’ master bolt only rivals in power against Poseidon’s trident and Hades’ helm of darkness and his bident if they combine strengths. Zeus only uses the master bolt against major enemies, but also uses less powerful but still devastating thunderbolts against minor enemies while using atypical lightning bolts against mortals.
