Hades

The techniques Hades used were named after Greek mythological characters, objects, and concepts: Persephone was the wife of Hades and the goddess of spring. The cornucopia is a horn from which food flows endlessly, belonging to the goddess who protected Zeus when he was still an infant. Ichor is the blood of the gods and immortals that became part of the ambrosia that Hercules drank. Eos is the goddess of the morning dawn.

When Hades used this ability, Qin Shi Huang noticed that Hades' qi began to flow through his trident, which ultimately led to his fall. (Addressing Ares) "How long are you going to sit here? [...] This... is my place."[21] (To Zeus) "Hmph! What a stupid question. What else? Revenge... for my brother Poseidon."[22] (Addressing Proteus) "As his brother, it is my duty."[6] (To Qin Shi Huang) "Qin Shi Huang, isn't it? I have nothing against you. The only thing... You are guilty of belonging to the same race of beings that killed my brother!"[23] (Addressing Qin Shi Huang) "He was more noble... more sincere than any God... He was the God most worthy of the title of king. My younger brother. Poseidon, the Sea King."[24] (To Qin Shi Huang) "I hit you, and yet you smile. This is... a true king."[25] (To Qin Shi Huang) "A common man can go this far, huh? This should have finished you off, but... how wonderful you are!"[26] (To Qin Shi Huang) "Qin Shi Huang, I once again confirm that you are worthy of being king. And that is why... I too must live up to the title of King of Helheim!"[27] (To Qin Shi Huan) "I can't lose. As their elder brother, I can't lose!"[28] (Addressing Poseidon) "I swear to you, my brother... I will not allow myself to be defeated by anyone. As the eldest of us brothers, I swear this."[29] (To Qin Shi Huang) "Well said, proud king. Now, Desmos... let us eat his heart!"[30] (To Qin Shi Huang) "It was glorious. That's why... you are the king!"[31] (Last words before exile to Niflhelm) "My brothers... I could not... keep my oath. I failed you, my brothers. Forgive me..."[32]

According to Ares, Hades has complete control of his trident, easily turning a strike into a swing, and even combining a powerful downward strike with a sharp backswing to overcome the Chinese emperor's defense technique.

Skilled Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Although Hades primarily fights with his trident, he also demonstrates great talent in hand-to-hand combat, briefly combining it with his spear skills during his fight with Qin Shi Huang. During an exchange of blows with the Chinese emperor, Hades quickly switched from a spear strike to a knee strike, which penetrated his opponent's defense, and quickly blocked a powerful kick with his forearm when he was unable to use his trident in time. Semi-immortality: As a god, Hades cannot die of old age. He is extremely ancient, predating the Big Bang, making him over 13.8 billion years old.

Divine Physiology: As a god, Hades possesses physical abilities far beyond those of a normal human and is invulnerable to mortal weapons. However, he can still be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and by strikes from divine weapons. Matter Manipulation: Hades is capable of manipulating objects, as demonstrated when he combined the remains of Poseidon's trident with his own trident, creating a new, more powerful weapon. Divine Blood:[15] Hades' blood, known as Ichor Pluto (プルートイーコール, Puruto Ikoru), is a special substance. Any Divine Weapon that is stained with his blood will store Hades' life force within them, becoming stronger as a result. He demonstrated this ability in the Seventh Round, when Hades transformed his trident into an even more powerful weapon called "Ichor Desmos". However, using this ability slowly drains Hades' life force and can lead to his death if overused.

Hades appears to possess greater combat knowledge, as evidenced by his ability to correctly predict Buddha's next move against Hajun, proving Zeus, Hermes, and Ares wrong. He has over a thousand years of experience and is said to have fought in countless battles. During his battle with Qin Shi Huang, Hades was able to quickly discern the Chinese emperor's ability to disrupt the flow of qi and devised a way to counter this: he covered himself in his own blood to see his opponent's attack. Enhanced charisma: Although Hades primarily cares for his younger brothers, he demonstrates excellent leadership skills and inspiring abilities. He is one of the most revered and respected gods, despite ruling Helheim. All three of his brothers, including the sociopathic Poseidon, look up to him. When he entered the arena, all the gods immediately stood and bowed respectfully to him, while Heimdall continued to introduce him. After his defeat, Adamas/Adamantine and Beelzebub each decided to avenge him in their own way. Indomitable Will: Hades has demonstrated incredible willpower. He is considered the most trustworthy god in Valhalla, always prioritizing the well-being of his brothers over his own safety. He has never shown fear, even when single-handedly facing off against an entire army of Titans. Spear Master: Hades wields his trident with divine skill and proficiency, capable of delivering countless strikes in the blink of an eye. He has also demonstrated incredible dexterity in using the trident in combat, delivering powerful and precise strikes. Having deciphered Qin Shi Huang's Air Bullet technique, Hades quickly countered, skillfully altering the trajectory of his spearhead to deflect the projectile, and even spinning his trident so fast that the bullets dispersed before they could reach their target.

Finally, Persephone-Lore gathers the wind around Hades and concentrates it into a spiral around his trident, primarily at its tip, to completely destroy anything it pierces. Godly Speed ​​and Reflexes: Hades has demonstrated incredible movement speed and reaction time, which he can use to enhance his power, allowing him to build powerful momentum in his attacks. For example, when Qin Shi Huang's Drifting Turtle touched the blood on his skin, Hades managed to reposition himself and shift the center of his chi before the attack completely penetrated the blood.[13] His trident technique is so fast that it can create afterimages.[14] Divine Strength and Endurance: Hades possesses divine strength and endurance. He single-handedly destroyed all the Titans that emerged from Tartarus during his battle with the giants, but was ultimately severely wounded and exhausted. In his battle with Qin Shi Huang, many of Hades' attacks were turned against him, with much of his left arm skin peeled off and his side ripped open, yet he remained unharmed. Hades' incredible tolerance for pain and blood loss was also demonstrated by his continued fight after slicing open his chest and losing a massive amount of blood to fuel his trident's transformation. The trident continued to bleed throughout the fight, but Hades seemed oblivious and was only defeated after Qin Shi Huang pierced his heart with a final blow. Keen Intellect: As the eldest of Kronos's four sons, Hades possesses vast knowledge and experience, surpassing that of most other gods, including his younger brothers. The first indication of this is how he accurately identified Hajun, who emerged from Zerofuku during the sixth round of Ragnarok, while virtually everyone else was unaware of the Demon King. Furthermore, despite Zeus's love of battle,

General Abilities: As the ruler of Helheim and one of the many possible participants in the Titanomachy and Ragnarok, Hades is incredibly powerful. Like his younger brother Poseidon, he is a fearsome and dangerous god in his own right, so much so that even the other gods feared incurring his wrath. During the Gigantomachy, Hades single-handedly defeated an entire army of Titans, though he was gravely wounded in the end, suggesting the battle was extremely difficult even for him.[10] Divine Strength: While Hades is not as fast as his brothers, he makes up for it by being able to unleash multiple powerful strikes with his trident, so powerful that Qin Shi Huang would have died instantly if they had hit him.[11] His trident strikes are so powerful that even the wind generated by his attacks can injure opponents, which is how he first drew Qin Shi Huang's blood.[12] Hades appears to possess titanic strength in the muscles of his back, shoulders, and core, which helped him stay on his feet during the attack, given how powerful his strikes against Emperor Qin were. He also has incredible grip strength, as despite everything, he never let go of his spear. Hades is strong enough to split the earth with the help of Persephone-Callichore and Persephone-Titan. Wind Generation: With his incredible strength, Hades can generate powerful wind pressure and gusts with his trident when using some of his techniques. Hades can create waves of wind with his most powerful attacks, such as creating a powerful spiral of concentrated gusts with Persephone-Laura and Persephone-Callichore. Persephone-Callichore also slams the ground with immense force, creating multiple vicious wind blades that spread out around and damage Qin. Hades struck Beelzebub with such force that the sleeves of his cloak were torn by the force of the wind (perhaps this is why he removed his cloak at the very beginning of the 7th round).

Hades appears to be a very refined and calm man, yet he is highly respected and feared in the Greek pantheon. This is evident in how Ares immediately yields his seat to him at his command[3] and how all the gods stand at attention when he enters the arena.[4] More than anything, Hades seems to love his younger brothers and firmly believes that it is his duty as the eldest to watch their backs.[5] Furthermore, Hades believes it is his duty as the eldest to avenge his younger brothers if they ever die,[6] as evidenced by his return from Helheim to Valhalla to participate in the seventh round of Ragnarok and avenge Poseidon, who died in the third round.

Even though Hades was a king himself, he considered Poseidon the god most worthy of the title.[7]

Although Poseidon's death prompted him to enter the Ragnarok tournament, he did not give in to rage and hatred, but maintained his composure and self-control from the very beginning of the duel. In fact, he only lost his composure once, when he learned that his opponent, Qin Shi Huang, held the same views on kingship as the late Poseidon. Hades laughed, unable to contain his irony.[8] He also genuinely respected his opponent as a warrior and as a ruler of equal stature. He called the curse that had haunted Qin Shi Huang his entire life a nuisance, implying that he would never inflict such a curse on an enemy.[9]

Like his younger brother, Hades appears as a tall and handsome man with a specially designed eyepatch over his right eye and long, stylish silver-white hair that sticks out in various places on his head.

He has a leaf-shaped tattoo on his forehead, a spiked necklace around his neck, and a beaded earring with multiple smaller piercings in his left ear. His attire is quite formal and extravagant: his collar reaches to his upper chest, and there are badges on the left and right sides of his coat. Finally, he wears long white jeans and square-patterned shoes.

Hades is the representative of the Gods in the seventh round of Ragnarok, fighting against Qin Shi Huang. He was not originally on the list of participants, but volunteered to take Buddha's place after his betrayal in the previous round.

He is an important deity in the Greek pantheon and is referred to as the King of Helheim (冥界の王, Meikai no Ō) [2].
