Hades is striking again!

So fragile. Another one for the scrap heap…

Better stay put.

Out there.

It's teeming with dangerous people.

Jeez, I see you're making creepy stuff again.

What the heck are you plotting?

It doesn't seem like there are any problems with your body.

Adamas.

No problems.

Same as always.

That's good to hear.

Hades would be angry with me if something happened to that body.

Devil King of the Sixth Heaven, Papiyas.

Creating a legendary monster like that.

Just what are you trying to do?

Nothing.

I just want to create it.

I want to create something that will kill me.

Look at those eyes.

You're as gloomy as ever, huh?

You don't have any friends, do you?

Neither do you, right?

Even the King of Helheim's power

cannot undo the king of men's secret technique!

Not watching the fight?

There's no point.

I mean, I can't imagine Hades ever losing.

Now you understand, don't you?

There's no way the King of Helheim, Hades, could ever lose.

After all, he's the eldest of us four Greek brothers.

PRIDE OF THE KING OF HELHEIM

Qin Shi Huang is strong!

Keep this up and finish him off!

Go, Qin Shi Huang!

He's amazing. He's so strong, Māma.

Of course he is.

After all, he's our king.

Qin Shi Huang, let me acknowledge you once more.

You are worthy of being a king.

That is precisely why I, as the King of Helheim, shall answer you!

What is he doing? Has Hades gone mad?

No, he hasn't.

Gosh, how could I forget?

I've never known a god as dependable as him.

He'll sacrifice anything to win.

That's the King of Helheim, Hades.

Is he singing?

That voice.

It's the same as the sea god Poseidon's.

Why would he inflict such damage on himself?

Now then, time to conquer!

The blood-soaked King of Helheim charges forward!

The star. The flow of Qi has shifted!

Perish!

A thrusting motion followed by a sudden downward swing?

It's only air.

As long as you know the moment it hits, it's harmless.

I get it!

He covered himself in blood so he could see the invisible technique.

What a fearsome god!

All right! Now he's stopped that guy's trickiest move.

No, Hades' blood

does more than that.

What?

What is that?

Indeed. His blood is no ordinary blood.

At last, it's brimming.

Flow together!

The King of Helheim's qi…

Hades' blood, known as "Pluto Ichor," is special.

When that blood flows into a Divine Treasure,

it imbues it with Hades' life energy, making the weapon even more powerful.

As expected of Hades! He's the strongest there is!

But, of course, if his life energy runs dry,

he will die.

What?

Die?

Ichor Desmos.

My trump card, king of men.

Tear it apart, Desmos.

Ichor Eos!

Force of the--

I must not lose.

For their sake…

As their elder brother.

What is Hades to the gods?

Well, let's see.

Seeing the way he deftly wields his Bident,

it's easy to focus on his overwhelming martial prowess.

But that's not his true essence.

Even simply uttering his name is feared,

for he is the King of Helheim,

and also the god most trusted by the gods.

Why, you ask?

We gods came to understand this deeply

during the greatest crisis in Valhalla, the Gigantomachy.

TEMPLE OF OLYMPUS

Heal me quickly!

I must return to the front lines at once.

The divine soldiers alone can't hold them back!

Long ago, in a battle to determine the most powerful god in the universe,

known as the Titanomachy,

Zeus overthrew his father, Cronus,

seizing control of the Greek divine realm.

However, the Primordial Goddess Gaia did not accept this.

Leading the Gigantes, the mightiest race she had birthed,

she launched a massive assault.

And so the Gigantomachy erupted.

The Divine Greek Realm resolved to resist completely,

but they were overwhelmed by the immense power of the giant race.

All right, battle report!

The Olympian divine soldier units are fighting valiantly,

but the situation is not favorable.

Father, their strength is beyond imagination!

It's only a matter of time before they overrun us here!

This is bad, bad, bad!

Huh! Hey! What's the plan, "chief god" Zeus?

Isn't it obvious?

We gods will crush them with all our might!

Hermes! Tell every god in Greece!

Understood.

Now, to battle!

It's been a while since a real fight. My fists are itching!

Zeus is getting far too cocky.

What's the matter?

My lord! There's an urgent message for Lord Hades from Helheim.

The Titan gods have begun their advance from Tartarus!

Are you saying Tartarus has been breached?

Tartarus.

The deepest part of Helheim,

a prison for horrific gods, shrouded in death and darkness.

Amid the chaos of the Gigantes' invasion,

the Titan gods under Cronus, who had been imprisoned, were set free.

This was a pincer attack from the mightiest of enemies,

meaning the imminent destruction of Valhalla.

It's only a matter of time before they attack us here.

Lord Hades?

Is something the matter?

No.

Nothing at all.

And then…

At the end of a long battle…

Are you okay?

Is it… over?

Yes, we've won.

The Greek gods triumph in the Gigantomachy.

Where's Hades?

Lord Hades went alone to Helheim to stop the Titan gods' invasion!

Hades.

Poseidon?

It seems we've won the war.

Sending all your soldiers as reinforcements

and going alone without telling anyone

was incredibly reckless.

As an elder brother, it's only natural to protect my younger brothers.

But you could have lost.

I don't lose.

I swear, little brother, I will never lose to anyone.

I promise you this, as your elder brother.

That said, I might have been a bit too reckless this time.

I won't say thanks,

big brother.

That's the first time, isn't it?

The first time you've called me your brother.

Hades!

Hades!

During that Gigantomachy,

he single-handedly halted the Titan gods' invasion,

saving Valhalla from crisis.

That's right. Hades, the King of Helheim, will absolutely never betray our trust!

"The elder brother protects the younger brothers," huh?

He's always playing the cool guy.

But why is Hades so fixated on his brothers?

It's a bit beyond my understanding.

What do you mean by that?

Want me to explain it for you?

Huh?

You!

Adamas!

What? Why?

Out of the way.

Okay!

Adamas.

Well, well, you seem to be in good health, Adama--

Ah, I mean, Adamantine.

I see you're still the same smooth-talking guy, Hermes.

Wait, hold on. What's this "Adamantine" stuff?

Isn't it Adamas?

Wait, wasn't Adamas supposed to have been erased from existence by Poseidon?

Indeed, he was properly dealt with.

But afterward, on Hades' orders, I helped him out.

Though, to be precise,

it was Beelzebub who treated him, at Hades' request.

Was Poseidon aware of this?

Of course.

If he had been serious, not even dust would have remained.

The Olympian god "Adamas," one of the 13, was destroyed.

But now, in Helheim,

he thrives splendidly as a new god, "Adamantine."

Adamantine…

That's just the kind of meddlesome guy Hades is.

Hermes, you asked why Hades is so obsessed with his brothers?

There's no grand reason.

It's really simple.

He just loves his brothers, plain and simple.

At last!

A single strike from Hades has pierced through Divine Vambraces,

Qin Shi Huang's ironclad defense!

Not bad.

Man, I feel for that human.

Is this the power that repelled those Titan gods?

What an incredible thrust.

To pierce through a Divine Treasure entirely…

What terrifying might.

It's my first time seeing it in action,

but to think it is this powerful…

Of course he is!

Huh? What's wrong, Ares? Are you crying?

What a noble figure!

That is truly the eldest brother of our Divine Greek Realm.

Sister Alvitr!

Sister Alvitr is all right, isn't she?

The Valkyries offer everything they have.

Of course, this doesn't come without a cost.

Are you all right, Alvitr?

Just about.

I'm sorry.

You're hurt because of me.

It's nothing compared to your wounds.

More importantly, are you okay?

Not a problem.

Compared to the pain of others,

my own pain is something I can endure endlessly.

Honestly, you're something else.

This isn't good.

Yeah, it's completely unusable now.

It seems we're out of options.

What are you talking about?

Qin Shi Huang's trump card has been nullified,

and with his left shoulder injured, he can't use the Force of the Phoenix.

In other words, he has no way to defend against that god's attacks anymore.

Be proud

that you have driven me to use Desmos.

The King of Helheim's overwhelming power!

Is there nothing left for Qin Shi Huang to do?

Alvitr,

at this rate, I see no path to victory.

I plan to stake everything on the next strike.

This isn't like you!

You're a king, so just say it clearly!

Such impudence, you wild girl.

I want to win,

no matter what!

I know.

Honestly, kings are so selfish.

My power.

I'll give it all to you!

Sister Alvitr is transforming!

"Alvitr."

The power residing in that name is "Defender of the Army,"

and what that signifies is…

Divine Vambraces.

Sword of Goujian, the First Emperor!

A sword?

That's right.

The ultimate defense… is to attack!

I am the emperor, the king of kings!

The pride of a king lies solely in protecting the people!

Splendid, proud king.

Now I'll tear out your heart.

Desmos!

Bearing the pride of the gods,

the King of Helheim throws himself into battle.

Knowing the pain of humanity more than anyone,

the King of the Beginning fights for his people.

Only a king can understand the heart of a king.

Both kings sensed that the end of the battle was near.

Ichor Eos!

Chi You, Sword Form!

Swallow Slash of the First Emperor!

The King of Helheim's strike has outdone the king of men!

No way!

Even a technique that staked everything on attack

couldn't affect the King of Helheim?

Qin Shi Huang!

Is this the end?

Even with everything we had,

we couldn't beat Hades.

They're beautiful.

The stars.

I saw them!

Ying Zheng, that's enough!

You've done enough!

Qin Shi Huang!

You did so well!

Don't stand up anymore!

A king never wavers.

A king never bends.

A king never relies on others.

A king

never gives up!

Qin Shi Huang rises again on the brink of death!

He's lost his left arm, everything is fading, yet still!

What is it that drives this man to stand once more?

You idiot.

This guy.

That's the true form of a king!

Keep going, Qin Shi Huang!

Don't lose to a god!

Keep fighting!

I can hear them…

The voices

of the people.

The king, Lord Ying Zheng, he won't lose, right, Māma?

Ying Zheng,

you've been fighting ever since then, haven't you?

To become

the greatest king.

I will.

I promise I'll become the greatest king!

…that promise you made to me.

To bring not hatred,

but happiness to the people, to us.

Let's watch until the end, Chun Ou.

Our king's…

the greatest king's

final battle!
