## History

### Creation

Hades gathered his four fellow gods which he viewed as special, and he who admire his brother Zeus, sought to surpass the powerful Four Seraphim. Reasons why they are one of the Five Grand Cardinals:

* Hades is the King of the Underworld and the founder, automatically making him a member.
* Eros is the God of Love, and his Love Shots can make opponents charmed and explode.
* Apollo is the God of Sun, and his archery skills is superior. He can also heal others.
* Hermes is the God of Speed, and his speed is able to stun enemies.
* Nike is the Goddess of Speed, and her speed is able to stun enemies.

### Twin Shot

#### Face off with Shemesh

Shemesh encountered Apollo and engaged in a music battle. Apollo then let Shemesh's guard down with a backstab while performing Dmitri Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8 in C minor, Op. 110 which angered the demon. Shemesh then realized they should be fighting seriously. They fire lights and shoot arrows at each other while dodging and evading each other. Apollo then proceeds to finish Shemesh off with Sunshine Arrows.

#### Team Guardian

A team consisting of Eros and Apollo, known as Team Guardian, is tasked to protect Mount Olympus from the demons during the First Demonomachy.

#### Team Retrieval

Another team, Team Retrieval, consisting Hermes and Nike, were tasked to retrieve the treasure stolen by the demons. They fought with Belial. They tried to confuse his vision, but Belial seemed to resist from these confusions and knocked Nike away. Hermes, fueled with vengeance, hit and teleported from Belial's different body parts, and Belial finally died of fatal injuries.

#### Team Satan Hunt

Zeus, Hercules, Ares and Hades (who was replacing Kratos' part) are on a mission in order to fight off Satan. As they encounters Satan, Zeus blasted Satan with lightning bolts and teleported multiple times, but was knocked back by the demon. Despite critically injured, he encouraged his fellow gods to fight back, which made Hercules and Ares knocking Satan's feet, strongly harming the latter. As Hades was about to claim the demon's soul, Zeus delivers his fatal blow on the heart of the demon, killing him.
