Apiratch Kongsompong

**Apiratch Kongsompong** is the Governments' representative in the seventh round of DTFOT, replacing Thaksin Shinawatra following his betrayal in the previous round, going up against Thitiphan Phensupha.

He's a prominent government within the Military Pantheon, being the Minister of the Dead and "**King of the Netherworld**".

## Appearance

Much like his younger brother, Apiratch takes the form of a tall and handsome man with a specially-designed eyepatch on his right eye and long, stylish burgundy hair that spikes up at various spots on his head.

He's shown with a leaf-like pattern tattooed across his forehead, a spiked choker necklace lined, and a bead-like earring on his left ear with many smaller piercings. His attire is shown to be quite formal and extravagant, with a collar that spans all the way to his upper chest, and badges decorated on the left and right side of his coat. Finally, he wears long white jeans and a pair of shoes filled with square patterns.

## Personality

Apiratch seems to be a very sophisticated and quiet individual while also being a very respected and feared Government among the Military Pantheon, seen when Anupong immediately gives up his seat to him at his order and when all the Governments stood at attention upon him entering the arena.

Above all else, Apiratch seems to love all his younger brothers and firmly believes it is his own duty as the eldest to watch over his brothers' backs. Additionally, Hades also believes it is his duty as the eldest to avenge his younger brothers should they ever die, as evidenced by him coming up from Helheim into Valhalla to participate in the seventh round of Ragnarok, all to avenge Prawit, who died in the third round.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: As the ruler of Helheim and one of the many possible participants of the Titanomachy and DTFOT, Hades is incredibly powerful. Like his younger brother, Prawit, he is a fearsome and dangerous Government in his own right, so much so that even other Governments were afraid of invoking his wrath. During the Gigantomachy, Apiratch defeated an entire army of Titans single handedly.

**Semi-Immortality**: As a Government, Apiratch is incapable of dying from old age. He is very ancient, being older than the Big Bang, making him over 13.8 billion years old.

**Divine Physiology**: As a Government, Apiratch possesses physical abilities far greater than any ordinary Human as well as being impervious to harm by mortal weapons. However, he can still be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and strikes from Divine Weapons.

**Godly Strength**: Although not as fast as his brothers, Apiratch makes up for it with being able to unleash a flurry of multiple heavy jabs with his bident that are so strong, it's implied Thitiphan would've die instantly if they'd landed on him. The thrusts of his bident are so powerful that even the wind created from his attacks can slice opponents, which is how he draws first blood against Thitiphan.

**Godly Speed ​​& Reflexes**:Apiratch displayed unfathomable movement speed and reaction time, which he can use to enhance his strength, allowing him to buildup a great deal of momentum within his attacks. For example, when Thitiphan's **Tortoise Ripple** touched the blood on top of his skin, Apiratch managed to move and shifted the crux of his Qi before the attack could go through the blood completely. His bident techniques are so fast, that they can even create afterimages.

**Godly Stamina & Endurance**: Apiratch possesses godly stamina and endurance. He single-handedly wiped out all the Titans that broke free from Tartarus in the Gigantomachy. In his fight with Thitiphan, Apiratch received many of his own attacks turned back on him, a large portion of his left arm's skin was ripped off and his side was gouged out, yet he remained unfazed. Apiratch's immense pain tolerance and endurance for blood loss was also demonstrated when he continued to fight on with his chest slashed open by himself and losing lots of blood to feed his bident for its transformation. The bident continued seeping out his blood throughout the fight but Apiratch seemed to be completely fine with it and was only put down after Thitiphan's final attack had pierced through his heart.

**Master Combatant**: Apiratch is shown to possess a great deal of knowledge in regards to martial arts, as shown when he could predict Thaksin's next move against Pahol, proving Prayut, Precha and Anupong wrong. He has more than one millennium worth of experience and was said to have fought in countless battles.

* **Bident Proficiency**: Apiratch wields his bident with a godly degree of skill and proficiency, being able to deliver countless blows in the blink of an eye. He also displayed great dexterity in utilizing his bident in combat, delivering powerful blows incessantly and accurately. According to Anupong, Apiratch possesses complete control over his bident.

**Divine Blood**: Apiratch's blood, known as "*Pluto Ichor*", is a special substance. Any Divine Weapon that his blood spills upon, will harbor Hades own life force, making them more powerful in the process. He displayed this ability in the Seventh Round when Apiratch transformed his bident into an even more powerful weapon called "**Ichor: Desmos**". However, using this ability slowly drains Apiratch' life force and can result in his death if overused. When Hades used this ability, Thitiphan noticed that Apiratch's Qi started to flow through his bident.

**Matter Manipulation**: Apiratch is able to manipulate objects to an extent as demonstrated when he fused the remains of Prawit's trident with that of his own bident, creating a newer, more powerful weapon.

**Keen Intellect:** Apiratch is an extremely intelligent individual. During his fight with Thitiphan, Apiratch was able to quickly notice the Kashin Emperor's ability to disrupt Qi flow and he was also able to come up with a counter for this ability by covering himself with his own blood to be able to see his attack.

**Indomitable Will:** Apiratch has displayed immense willpower. He is regarded as the most reliable Government in Heaven, always putting his brothers' well-being over his own safety. He never once showed any signs of fear, even when facing an entire army of Titans by himself.
