==Summary==
Hades, Underworld Emperor (冥王ハーデス; meiö hadesu; Κόλαση Αυτοκράτορας Άδης) is the Greek God of the Dead and Lord of the Underworld, as seen in the Saint Seiya Franchise. Alongside his brothers Zeus and Poseidon, he is one of the Three Sacred Emperors. They stand above the other Olympians and are considered the most powerful deities in the entire universe.
During the Era of Myth, Hades was a God who, while ruling over Darkness and the Dead, proved fair with all humans, enforcing his justice upon all souls. Those who committed atrocities as a living would pay for their sins within the depths of Hades, and those who proved virtuous enough were allowed to find bliss in Elysium. However, those times are long gone.
Hades grew colder, melancholic, and furious with the passing of the decades. His nature as a righteous god who treated humanity with respect slowly turned into one of pure hatred and disgust. Humanity endlessly repeated its past sins and fell deeper and deeper into a pool of violence, suffering, and corruption. Even the gods who ruled over and guided them became forgotten and ridiculed as superstitious tales as time passed.
Now, Hades wishes nothing for the total demise of humanity, cleansing the Earth of its impurity and bringing salvation to its souls in the absolute black of death. Once it is done, the Earth will be completely dark. Neither the Sun nor the Heavens' light could penetrate. And only then the new world and humanity will be rebuilt from scratch.

Causing damage to a Gold Cloth requires a power that can break apart matter that exists below Quarks. The gods have casually destroyed Gold Cloths and their Gold Cloth Armor equivalents, such as Scales and Surplices. 7th sense users can generate a shield made from pure Cosmo around them at the start of the battle, and their Armors are also infused with the power of Cosmo. The gods can also control all Atoms in the world with their very will. The gods are vastly superior to Gold Saints such as Capricorn Shura who can cut twenty billion souls at once and Cancer Deathmask (Saint Seiya) whom can destroy twenty billion souls all at once. The power of Ohm could also affect twenty billion souls. These divine beings generate more heat than any Gold Saint who can reach temperatures of over a million degrees when focusing their attacks), Regeneration negation up to Mid-Godly, and Immortality negation (Of Types: 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9: The Divine weapons were created with the intention to permanently kill gods. For example. Gaia created a weapon for the king of the Titans Cronos to slay Uranus. Gaia then proceeded to create weapons for all twelve of the Titans who all went to war with the Olympians. They consisted of gods such as Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. Athena was capable of destroying the true body and soul of Typhon. Hades had various methods to permanently kill Athena as Athena's death was needed to conquer the world of the living. The Sword of Chrysus can kill gods such as Athena, and even Saturn remarked that it could kill an ordinary god. Typhon is a biological weapon created by the union of Gaia and Tartarus to end the reign of the Olympians.
|-|Passive Abilities=Death Manipulation (His presence can kill those around him), Attack Reflection (Any attack without Divine Cosmos thrown at Hades has its potency reverted to the attacker), Aura, Perception Manipulation, Sense Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement, Life Manipulation, Statistics Reduction and Heat Manipulation (By being in the presence of a God. The six senses are rendered unusable and denied. The Gods radiate a divine aura that causes fear in the surrounding beings and forces them to obey their commands. The power that radiates from the Gods also causes the affected targets to be paralyzed. Their life force then starts to drain, and they then have their strength, speed, and durability reduced by being near a Gods Cosmo. Powering up their Cosmo causes the heat in the area around them to increase drastically, along with their attacks being imbued with intense heat),
|-|Passive Sword Abilities= Void Manipulation, Curse Manipulation and BFR (Those stabbed by his sword will be sent to a void that is outside the cycle of reincarnation, where they will never be able to return. Those cut by the Sword of Hades are annihilated completely in body and soul, removed from the Wheel of Samsara and sent to the World of Emptiness where time does not exist, unable to revive or reincarnate. A direct hit from Hades' sword left God Cloth Pegasus Seiya in a catatonic state without Cosmo)
|-|Resistances= Resistance to Mind Manipulation, Soul Manipulation, Matter Manipulation (Here), Illusions, Dream Manipulation, Life, Space-Time Manipulation (The Super Dimensional Space Hades has control over which the Bronze Saints needed Athena's blood to be unaffected. It is also a path only gods can travel. Aries Shion was still capable of thought when time was stopped along with Leo Regulus when they encountered Mephisto), Radiation Manipulation (Scaling from Aiolia who was able to resist the radiation from a nuclear power plant with his Cosmo), Poison Manipulation, Blood Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Heat Manipulation (All Cosmo users generate heat around them by powering up, other Cosmo users can take this just fine), Electricity Manipulation (Entry-level Cosmo users can withstand 10,000 volts. While more experienced Cosmo users can withstand even more than that), Causality Manipulation, and Age Manipulation, possibly Regeneration negation up to Mid-Godly, and Immortality negation (Typhon had his true body, and soul permanently destroyed by Athena, but he later returned as his "Divine Will." Gods such as Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades continue to come back despite Athena's ability to permanently destroy the body and soul of Typhon. The Titan King Cronus was able to permanently kill Uranus with a weapon that Gaia created. Later Gaia created more weapons for the Titans that were later used in a war against the Olympians, which were ineffective against them in a war that lasted "10 god years." Athena used The Sword of Chrysus to kill her own self. She was seen later flying out of the Underworld and in later works such as Next Dimension and Assassins. Typhon is a biological weapon created by the union of Gaia and Uranus to end the reign of the Olympians, but he proved to be ineffective in killing), Death Manipulation and Law Manipulation (The Underworld kills anyone that is "Alive" when entering into it, but 8th sense users can enter it alive. The 8th sense allows the user to overcome the laws that Hades had created)

*In his true form, he could create Hell/Hades, The Hyperdimension, and the Elysium Fields. These are part of the Greek Underworld, which resides outside the Universe's Space-Time and maintains them through his Divine Will. , and Elysium are said to be infinite. Hell/Hades is likely comparable in size.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
* Greatest Eclipse: Through his Divine Will, Hades has all the Solar System's planets shift their positioning at incredible speeds until all eventually form a perfect alignment. On Earth, the moon slowly covers the Sun in an Eclipse that can be simultaneously observed from all places on the planet. Merely gazing at the event shatters the hopes in mortal souls, and the shadows that cover the surface bring despair to all. Once the Eclipse is over, the world will be covered by darkness and humanity will suffer a slow and painful death.
* Divine Curse: Through his sword, his lingering hate could inflict a spiritual wound (shaped as his sword, invisible except to Gods) that blocks the life and power of his enemy, and induces a coma. Eventually causes death through the sword slowly moving into the body of the victim. It was used against God Saint Seiya so he would never reincarnate again. Even after the death of Hades, it's hard to remove other Olympian gods, prompting Athena to attempt to change history to save him.
Note: Most of his feats were done when he was not in his actual body. Furthermore, we have yet to know whether or not he actually used his Kamui as such his upper limits remain unknown.
