Right, apparently I have to be a bit clearer. I'm not arguing for a change in Sefer's arrival. We don't know how long they were running around killing off the gods, but the pantheons holding out thirty years in baseline isn't exactly improbable.

As for defeating Sefer without the Holy Sword, we do have precedent for gods punching out god-slaying super-entities (Odin sealing Surtr in LB II). Maybe Zeus pulled an Arjuna Alter and merged with other gods, maybe some of them sacrificed themselves to seal Sefer like Odin did Surtr, maybe something else entirely happened. Sefer is undoubtedly a nigh-unstoppable threat, but there's no reason to assume that the Holy Sword is the one and only thing that can stop them.

We don't really know who Sefer targeted, aside from that she went after Mars at some point and took his sword as a prize, the Greeks simply being late on the list and pulling off their own sacrifice play isn't out of the question.
