Hephaestus rages on, attempting to fuse his own power with Hades' corruption, so as to fight Ares, whom he has a grudge against. His eyes grow bright purple, as his hair begins standing up, and he screams, with his roar being able to be heard even from where Akio was.
"What the hell?"
Akio turned around, so as to look towards the direction that the voice had come from, but he immediately went back to going towards Hades, though, oblivious to him, someone else awaited for him before the God of Death.
Meanwhile, Hephaestus continues to rage on, while Ares looks on in determination, thinking that he will actually need to use his full power. He moves his shield to his left hand, as he will still need it, and he creates a new spear out of magic, as he gave his old one to Akio.
