God of War: Ascension

Like many of her kin, Ceto fought in the war against the Primordials along with her parents and relatives.

Ceto appears in the opening scene where is she shown engaging in a fight against Ouranos[1]. She manages to hit Ouranos in the face, causing the creation of skies and stars. Eventually, the fights between the two primordials ends with the destruction of Ceto, who falls on the ground and disintegrates in a giant mass of water, causing the oceans to appear.
