Adamas/Plot

## Past

### Gigantomachy

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. Unable to accept that, the Primordial Goddess, Gaia, 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, Adamas 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. Adamas later helped his brothers in the fight against the Giants, were the Greek Gods were victorious.

### Failed Betrayal

After Zeus had overthrown the Titans, he declared himself the Ruler of Heaven with support of the rest of the Greek Gods. Adamas outright refused to accept this, deeming Zeus unfit due to being the youngest of Kronos' sons. Adamas rebelled and freed the Titans and the Gigants from the pits of Tartarus, and also bent Typhon to his will. With an army behind him, Adamas marched towards Olympus.

By the time he reached Poseidon's palace, Adamas had gained the support of 49 members of Zeus's council. In addition, thanks to Hermes, some of the Olympians promised to defect to Adamas' side at his signal. Adamas' victory would be assured if he secured his younger brother's support, but Poseidon barely acknowledged Adamas's presense. This upset the God of Conquest, as he was always frustrated with the fact that Poseidon had never looked him in the eyes, even in infancy. Poseidon said that Gods have no need for armies, betrayal or anyone's support for they have been the most perfect beings from the start.

He then claimed that Adamas managed to defile everything the Gods stand for. Enraged, Adamas swung his scythe at Poseidon. At that moment their eyes met for the first time, as Poseidon's pierced Adamas. Afterwards, Poseidon told Hermes that, among them, there was one unfit to be a God and ordered for Adamas to be erased from all records, which was met with no objection or discussion.

Unknown to most residents of Heaven, Adamas survived the attack. On Hades' orders, Hermes collected his remains and sent them to Beelzebub, who managed to keep Adamas alive by turning him into a cyborg.

From then on, he stayed on Helheim and went by the name of *Adamantine,* as the name *Adamas* was erased from history. It was stated by Hermes that Poseidon could have obliterated Adamas if he wanted to.

## Ragnarok

### Seventh Round

Adamas, now Adamantine, entered Beelzebub's room during the seventh round, easily killing the monster he created before it could escape. The god asked Beelzebub why he was still creating such creatures, but the Lord of the Flies responded by noting that there seemed to be no problems with Adamantine' body. Adamantine concurred, and Beelzebub continued by saying that if something did happen, Hades would be angry at him. Adamantine asked him why he revived Hajun, to which Beelzebub stated that he wanted to cultivate creatures that would be able to kill him. Adamantine was creeped out by this, before noting that Beelzebub was off-putting. He correctly guessed that Beelzebub had no friends, to which Beelzebub said that the same was true of him. Adamantine turned his attention to the ongoing fight, asking Beelzebub why he wasn't watching. The latter said he wasn't interested, as it was obvious Hades would win. Adamantine agreed, telling him that it was impossible for Hades to lose, given that he was their elder brother.

Adamantine walked into the V.I.P area later on, answering Hermes' question as to why Hades cared about his brothers so much. Ares was shocked, while Zeus and Hermes greeted Adamantine curtly. The cyborg god told Ares to move, before greeting Hermes, referring to him as a suck up. Hermes explained Adamantine' survival to Ares, after which Adamantine explained that Hades had no reason to fret over his family so much, all he needed was his love for them. As the others commented on Hades' strength, Adamantine laughed, affirming Hades' power.

Adamantine was seen to be mortified when Hades died, and angrily stormed out afterwards. He told Hermes that he didn't care about any rules or consequences, wanting to deal with this problem on his own. He confronted Brunhilde and Göll in a hallway, demanding to know Qin Shi Huang's location, wanting revenge on the human that killed Hades. Brunhilde took a knee, greeting him, which only served to enrage Adamantine further. The god told Brunhilde to tell him what he wants to know, as it was the only reason she was still alive. When Brunhilde refused, he tried to kill her and Göll, but was stopped when Beelzebub cut off his arm. Beelzebub told him that killing the valkyries would mean Ragnarok ended, and Beelzebub would not allow Adamantine to deprive him of his fun. When Adamantines said that he didn't care about that, Beelzebub asked him if he meant to belittle the dignity of the gods that Hades exuded. This caused Adamantine to hesitate, reflecting on past memories with his older brother. He decided to leave, proclaiming that he'd kill Brunhilde and Qin after Ragnarok ended.

### Eighth Round

Adamantine watched Round 8 with Zeus, noting that Beelzebub pissed him off. He also expressed his surprise at how worked up Beelzebub was, saying that Hades was the only one Beelzebub could rely on due to his loneliness and self-hatred. Later on, when Zeus noted Nikola Tesla's speed, Adamantine stated that Beelzebub could already see Tesla's attacks coming after being hit by them. As Beelzebub blocked Tesla's attacks, Adamantine continued by saying that Beelzebub was one of Helheim's best fighters, and that Tesla had already shown all of his tricks. He asked Zeus if he agreed, to which his younger brother wondered that something else seemed to be happening.

Later on, when Beelzebub prepared to use **Original Sin of the Netherworld – No.0: Chaos**, Adamantine wondered what was going on, Zeus panicking as he explained that the technique had been made taboo by Hades. After the explosion dissipated, Adamantine asked Zeus what'd happened, the later explaining the mechanics of the ability. Adamantine noted the immense damage Beelzebub had taken from using the attack. As Beelzebub was struggling against Tesla, Adamantine yelled that he was dragging his feet, telling him to just kill Tesla by using **Original Sin of the Netherworld – No.0: Chaos** again. Zeus then told him that Beelzbub couldn't, without risking death. Adamantine then yelled at Beelzebub to hurry and kill Tesla. When Tesla used **Plasma Pulse Punch Mobius** to inundate Beelzebub with attacks, Adamantine gloated that the attacks wouldn't last forever, and that Beelzebub could just kill Tesla when he ran out of energy. Zeus disagreed, explaining that Beelzebub would also run out of strength if this kept up, both fighters nearing their limit. Adamantine screamed at Beelzebub to win, stating that if Beelzebub died, he'd kill him himself. He then watched the final clash and Beelzebub's victory.
