Eden Blumenthal/Plot

### Introduction

Eden is introduced to the story when Sapphire pulls a box cutter on him after the demon expresses his approval for whoever killed the archdemons. Eden wasn't at all fazed by this and seemed to challenge her but Sapphire quickly snapped out of her rage.

Eden and Sapphire are called to the headmaster's office where they learn that they are suspended for two weeks for the confrontation in the classroom. Sapphire is respectful about it while Eden vocalizes his outrage and after being dismissed, punches a wall. The demon questions Sapphire about her outburst, seeing how she's so calm now which she answers by saying how upsetting it was hearing Eden talk down on someone's life. Eden half-jokingly asks her if she had ties to the archdemons but before she was given a chance to respond, the demon leans in to sniff her. Flustered, Sapphire asks him what he was doing which Eden reveals his ability to sniff out all of Hades's archdemons and anyone tied to them by blood due to their rotten hearts. Colombe appears and is made aware of their suspension which she is quick to blame Eden for being insensitive who scoffs and leaves.

### Sapphire's Death

Eden finally reveals himself to Sapphire after stalking her for some time and points out how her heart has become rotten. This angers Sapphire but she sulks as she questions what was so rotten about the heart's of archdemons. Eden tells her that it all started with the Grand Archdemon Uriel but before he dwelled deeper, Eden brings Sapphire to a secluded passageway. The demon continues on his story, revealing how the archdemons' Eternal Onyx Blades were first wielded by the very first tribe of imps to ever grace The Underworld and Uriel killed them all, stealing the heart of the tribe leader Prodryas Persephone's heart to gain her power. Shocked by the truth, Sapphire becomes convinced that bad things will continue to happen with her around and she kills herself with a pocket knife. Before dying, Sapphire reveals to Eden that her real name is Rouge Bellerose.

Later, Eden arrives at his home to find Colombe and his mother waiting for him. In the middle of demanding to know where the demon had ran off to, Colombe notices a speck of blood on his shirt and pauses. Eden moves pass his childhood friend to go upstairs to his room where he pulls out Adam's journal from under his bed. He flips through the pages while thinking back to Rouge's death until he suddenly curses and drops the journal. The blood from his paper cut runs down to his wrist and forms his Mark of the Beast which sends him to Kazuki's Forever-still Space. Eden has visions of Kazu-verse Rouge's final moments before he is thrown back into reality when The Cerberus Beast greets the him in the body of Kazuki. Cerberus destroys Adam's journal, which angers Eden and he charges at the humanoid being but all his attacks are evaded. Cerberus reveals that Vincent is Eden's biological father and gives him the mission of putting an end to his universe's Viscera Purgers.

### First Encounter with Requiem

With Cerberus guiding him within his Mark of the Beast, Eden seeks out the leader of the Viscera Purgers. The demon arrives at his destination and sees the young purgers waiting for him outside of the organization's castle. Eden does a double take when he sees Neia who he recognizes as his half-sister but his attention is brought back to Requiem. Before they fight, Requiem traps his lackeys inside a ring made of lasers and threatens Eden that if he doesn't surrender, they'll die. Enraged, Eden attacks the imp with his **Raging Blood: Burst** that he quickly turns into a **Zipping Burst** after Requiems smacks it away. Requiem evaded it again but the photosphere came back to him faster than before, successfully blowing his head off. However, the imp uses his **Puppeteer Mage-craft** to revive himself but is invisible to all of them. He cuts off Eden's arm containing Cerberus and decapitates Neia before resetting the universe.

### In Elysium

Rouge is able to save Eden from experiencing the brunt of Requiem's universe reset and transports him to Elysium where he rests in a glass coffin before regaining consciousness. Despite being an amputee Eden wants to go back to The Underworld to fight Requiem but Rouge warns him not to as he will be wiped out, revealing that the demon isn't supposed to exist. Eden doesn't take the news well and started to cry from his despair. Rouge attempts to console him by putting a hand on his shoulder but Eden snaps at her, and tries push her away. However, Rouge is able to hold him down. Rouge orders him to stop struggling which Eden does and starts to sulk about everyone he knows being dead. Rouge tells him that Neia is still alive and takes out a tiny scrap she salvaged from Adam's journal which Eden can use to defeat Requiem.

Rouge brings Eden outside of the mausoleum where he sees most of the fallen archdemons gathered around. Rouge orders the archdemons to participate in a ritual to summon Adam's heart. After successfully summoning the imp's heart, Rouge has Eden eat it which he is hesitate in doing before smelling it. After eating it, Eden gains **Adam's White Onyx Blade** and is sent back to The Underworld.

### The Final Battle

After freefalling from the sky and landing safely on the ground, Eden is shocked by his surroundings as he sees that all the demons had been fused with the rocks. Eden is approached by a young imp girl who takes him to where Requiem is. When they get there Eden immediately attacks Requiem with his fountain pen but the imp doges it, causing the demon to hit the tree he was resting against instead. The petrified faces of Neia, Akuji, and Lita trapped within the tree began to wail in agony which horrifies Eden as it revealed that they were still conscious in there.

After defeating Requiem with the combined power of Adam and his **Hades: Raging Blood Burst**, Eden is summoned back to Elysium where his head is resting on Rouge's lap. In Eden final moments, they communicate with each other telepathically. Before completely fading away, Eden requests for kiss, explaining to Rouge that it would be his first. Rouge fulfills his request but is only able to kiss him on the forehead as she sees him as only a son. After awhile Eden closes his eyes but opens them after feeling Rouge's tears hit is face. Eden tells her not to cry and jokingly winks at her which makes her wink back and the two share a laugh. Eden disappears, leaving Rouge with the flower crown he wore.
