Titan Wars!
Now that the conflict has been settled, everything has changed. With Hades departing, Zeus and Poseidon also became occupied with their own affairs. The three gods were now fully engaged in the impending war.
As six horse gods galloped through the sky, the twin gods drove Hades's chariot.
"Lord Hades," Hypnos spoke softly, "Prometheus is a dangerous figure. If not handled properly, he could become a serious threat."
Thanatos added, "Indeed, Lord Hades. Father God warned us, Prometheus possesses wisdom that transcends the mortal realm, allowing him to foresee future events. He's known as a prophet for good reason."
Hades replied indifferently, "Prometheus is troublesome, but in the end, divine power matters most. As long as I remain the strongest…"
"Yes!" the twin gods bowed their heads respectfully. They understood Hades's concerns about Prometheus, affirming the need to treat him as a significant threat.
Thanatos asked, "Are you returning to the Underworld?"
Hades paused, then said, "I'm heading to the Sun Star."
The twin gods exchanged glances, their expressions hardening. They knew Hades was preparing to face Hyperion, the strongest of the twelve Titan gods.
Hyperion, the Sun God, resided in the Sun Temple amidst endless flames, training relentlessly. Even as the strongest Titan, he remained vigilant, embodying the essence of a perfect warrior.
With the Titan War underway, Hades knew that defeating Hyperion would yield immense benefits. Numerous Titans were discontent with Cronus's reign but lacked the courage to resist. A united front of countless gods could pose a formidable challenge, but the three gods needed to ignite a fire of rebellion among them.
As they approached the Sun Star, the atmosphere grew charged. Hades, along with the twin gods, disembarked from the chariot and ventured deeper into the realm of the Sun.
They soon arrived at a vast training ground filled with tens of thousands of young warriors undergoing grueling training. These were no ordinary humans but Golden Age beings with the potential to become formidable Titan fighters.
Thanatos hesitated, "Are these warriors trained by Hyperion?"
Hypnos shook his head. "They're candidates being groomed for the role."
Hades added, "They are Titan fighters in training."
The twin gods understood: Hyperion's skill surpassed all others, making him a formidable force. His ability to create powerful fighters was unparalleled, and each candidate held the potential to challenge gods.
Before they could leave, a sudden disturbance in the magical aura caught Hades's attention. He noticed a young man with short black hair, training with determination, accompanied by a faint, ethereal presence.
A soul intertwined with him, his deceased relative, refused to depart, yearning to stay by his side.
"Click click"
As the magical energy surged, a skull-like figure emerged, whispering, "Do you wish to see your brother? He can stay with you forever."
The young man was startled but quickly responded, "I will pay any price to have my brother with me!"
Desperation filled him; he had become a candidate Titan fighter in hopes of resurrecting his brother, but only the supreme god king could fulfill that wish. The voice promised resurrection for a price, and he was willing to accept.
"Hehehe" the voice chuckled darkly. "Your brother's soul is unique. Join Hades, and you shall see him again."
"I do! I do!" the young man cried. "Bring it on!"
The magical energy coursed through him, igniting a surge of power.
With a roar, he transformed, enveloped in dark purple flames.
"Sky Storm Star Bennu: Bright Fire!" he announced, kneeling before Hades and the other gods.
"See, Lord Hades!"
Exuding a terrifying heat, he looked up with a mix of loyalty and hope, eager for Hades's recognition and a glimpse of the brother he longed for.
