The Greek Army wasn't exactly the most powerful thing in the world.
At least not for about 4000 years.
Their tanks and planes weren't the most powerful or sophisticated of weapons to be found in the late 20th Century. As the city of Volos was being decimated, the Greeks nonetheless threw everything that they had against Dagon. They'd originally started calling it Typhon but apparently the beast heard and its only reaction to the human insects so far had been to correct this mistaken identity. It then went back to ignoring them as it proceeded to the sea, leaving a fifty mile wide swath of destruction as it straight-lined a path from the mountains to the sea.
Leaving behind a smouldering pile of rubble where most of a city had stood, Dagon took to the water.

With helicopters and jets going overhead, Ryoga Hibiki ran for cover.
The earth shook and another form shouldered aside the rubble to stand tall in the sun for the first time in thousands of years. And another. And another.

That the Titans were slowly picking themselves back up again.
What in the name of Tartarus was that?!
Felt almost like one of Zeus' thunderbolts.
Ryouga looked up as a shadow fell over him.
You who awakened us and set us loose upon the land to destroy Ranma Saotome. Perhaps you should do it yourself while we find out which god sent that thunderbolt among us.
"Me? But I..." Ryoga was able to tell exactly how long he'd live after his usefulness was done. Five minutes at most.
Here is a small touch of my power.
Ryoga screamed as he felt his body being saturated by heat.
You will only be allowed to die when you have killed your enemy. Until then, you shall be a powerful Abomination and you will be the instrument of your own vengeance. You want to be an unstoppable force of vengeance, and so you shall be.
