Hades [Record of Ragnarok | Shuumatsu no Valkyrie]



Hades is the Gods’ representative in the seventh round of Ragnarok, going up against Qin Shi Huang.
Hades wasn’t originally listed on the roster but volunteered to fill Buddha’s spot following his betrayal in the previous round.
He’s a prominent Greek Pantheon deity, the “King of the Netherworld”. Hades is also regarded as “The God Whom Other Gods Rely on the Most”.
Following the events of the Titanomachy, Zeus inherited the throne from Kronos and became the new Chief God of the Greek Pantheon, despite being the youngest son. The Primordial Goddess, Gaia, unable to accept that, led the Giants against the Greek Gods. This conflict would be known as the Gigantomachy.
While the Greek Gods fought against the Giants with all they had, Hades attended a meeting with his brothers, Ares and Hermes. Hermes reported that things weren’t looking good and Adamas mockingly asked Zeus what he was going to do, now that he was their Chief God. Both Hades and Poseidon stayed silent. Zeus decided the only thing to do was to pummel the enemy with all their being and headed off for battle. The rest all left through their own exits and Hades sighed after hearing Adamas grumble about Zeus pushing his luck.
As soon as he went through his exit, Hades encountered one of his soldiers and asked what was wrong. The soldier reported to Hades that the Titans, who were subordinates of Kronos, had escaped Tartarus and were planning to invade from Helheim. Poseidon, still around, asked Hades if something was wrong but Hades walked off, assuring his brother he didn’t need to mind.
While the rest of his brothers fought against the Giants, Hades went down into Helheim and confronted the Titans alone. He then fought against them all by himself and was forced to use his trump card. Eventually, after many Titans were slain, the rest retreated and Hades was left sitting atop a broken column, whistling while covered in blood. Soon after, Poseidon arrived and witnessed the bloody scene for himself. Hades assumed Poseidon coming down here means they won the Gigantomachy. Poseidon criticized Hades for being so reckless and going off on his own to face the Titans, leaving his soldiers with them.
Hades insisted that he only did what was right as the elder brother by watching over his brothers’ backs. Poseidon brought up that he could’ve been defeated but Hades said he won’t be.
Hades vowed to Poseidon that he would never lose to anyone as the elder brother. Hades then fell back and admitted he may have been a bit too reckless this time around. Scoffing, Poseidon said Hades would hear no thanks from him. He then extended his hand out and called Hades “Brother”. That surprised the King of the Netherworld and as he took Poseidon’s hand, Hades noted that was the first time Poseidon ever called him his brother.
