Hades (Saint Seiya)

## Summary

Hades, Underworld Emperor (冥王ハーデス; meiö hadesu; Κόλαση Αυτοκράτορας Άδης) is the Greek God of the underworld

   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 who stand above the other Olympians, and considered one of 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 living would pay for their sins within the depths of Hades, while 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 turning into one of pure hatred and disgust. Humanity not only endlessly repeated their past sins, but fell deeper and deeper into a pool of violence, suffering, corruption. With time, even the Gods who ruled over and guided them came to be forgotten and ridiculed as superstitious tales.

Now, Hades wishes nothing for the absolute demise of humanity, cleansing the Earth of it's impurity and bringing their souls salvation in the absolute black of death. Once that was dealt with, the entire Earth would be covered in a layer of complete darkness which the light of the Sun and the Heavens would never penetrate. Only then, could the Earth and Humanity be rebuild from scratch, and a new, purer humanity could be born.

**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 in the planet. Merely gazing at the event shatters the hopes in mortal's souls, and the shadows that cover the surface bring despair to all. Once the Eclipse is concluded, mankind will instantly cease to exist. Their bodies will be vaporized, their creations shattered to dust and their souls forever erased. It will also cover the entire Solar System in a barrier of Darkness.

**Divine Curse:** Through his sword his lingering hate could inflict a spiritual wound (shaped as his sword, invisible except to Gods) that blocks the lifeforce and power of his enemy, induces a coma and 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 and even after the death of Hades it's hard to remove by other Olympian Gods, prompting Athena to attempt to change history in order to save him.

**Lightning of Darkness:** Hades surrounds his Divine Sword with his immense Cosmos, making it so that an incredible aura of deep crimson light begins emanating from it. Then, moving his arm and swinging his blade at amazing speeds, a powerful wave of absolute Cosmic Energy is released, slicing through and sub-atomically destroying all that lies within it's path.

**Lost Canvas:** An attack that functions similarly to the Greatest Eclipse, but which can work at ranges far more focused and potentially far greater. Hades is capable of completely destroying and erasing the existence of all beings whose image he paints, bringing the end of their lives, or even the complete destruction of their bodies and the shattering of their souls. Thus, he creates a gigantic painting of the skies, representing the souls of all living beings on Earth as angels in eternal bliss. When the painting is concluded, all shall instantly die and know the eternal, silent peace of non-existence. The limits of this attack are unknown.

**Key:** Possessing Shun / Alone | True Body with Surplice
