A laugh is heard.
"Hah, you're pretty sharp for a human, Akio Phoenix."
The voice belongs to none other than Hades, the God of Death, who reveals himself in front of Akio. Akio, however, does not flinch or falter against the God of the Underworld, however, he appears to be annoyed.
"What the hell am I here for?"
Hades appears to be a bit annoyed, as this mortal has the audacity to speak to him, a God, with such informality. Hades explains that he has defeated Gawain, his ultimate soldier, and now, he must be punished. However, there are two routes that the mortal can take:
One, join Hades' ranks and become the ultimate soldier, replacing Gawain, or
Two, kill Hades, but travel through the Underworld, and subsequently, the realm of Olympia.
Not knowing what Akio's answer would be, Hades continues to glare and the mortal, which looks like nothing more than an ant in front of him, but Akio says that he'd never join the ranks of the enemy.
