Unecessary force? I fail to see how any force could be unecessary; I've just been betrayed as I try to make peace and usher in a golden age of co-operation.
I don't even see why I've been betrayed - Oh wait. I see why I've been betrayed; you're fighting for the American way.
Very well. It amuses me that you believe yourself able to destroy me; the Steel God. Zeus holds no power over me; If I so chose, I could destroy the planet, removing his sphere of influence. Therefore, I must be more powerful. On a side note, I appear to be betrayed a disproportionate amount of times - is it because I godmod better than you?
I channel my power through my Steel Knights, making them powerful enough to destroy entire suns individually (Note than phantasmagoria is creating the illusion of magic, whereas this is 'real' magic), then order them to defend themselves with non lethal force. It is at this point that I project my mind into Duckling's through the paladins, dominating his entire army and himself. Then, I compell you to remove your encyption and transmit schematics for the devices. Then, I have your Paladins and Nano-bots destroy your weaponry and each other leaving you with nothing to fight with. Then, in the true spirit of the American way, I make your head explode.
It is at this point that I use the projection machines. As they are not technically magical (Being Lovecraftian science), they are not affected by the anti-arcane shield, and I take control of your turret's targeting systems and shut down the shield. I make the turrets fire on the base and subsequently the entire planet and each other. In doing so, I have destroyed your Base, planet and all weaponry that can compete with a Steel Knight - the cannons. I then send in my Steel Knights to scour the moons of Duskling soldiers, with orders to capture as many as they can alive. There are one or two casualties from unexpected anti-matter fire, but aside from that my Steel Knights magical and regenerative properties allow them to crush their opponents with relative ease. And with the prisoners? I have them crucified on every planet that was harmed by your unprovoked assault.
So, my Hill it shall remain, for now. Note that Duskling, in the unlikely event of your survival, popular opinion has been heavily slanted against you and Proteus due to your destruction of civilian worlds; no-one will support you, and most will likely capture you and hand you over to me for the hefty reward I'm offering, even if they don't kill you outright for being murdering scum. Have fun being the most vilified person in the universe, won't you?
And rebuilding just got a lot faster with the use of Zero-point energy receptors.
