Every Avenger who entered the Earth Palace — one of the Eight Celestial Halls under Hades' rule — had received the blessing of the King of the Underworld himself.
Tony Stark, the ever-curious Iron Man, discovered new possibilities for energy within the Earth Palace.If the human body can simulate a microcosm of the universe, he reasoned, then machinery can as well.By harnessing this principle, he believed he could soon design an armor capable of unleashing cosmic power — a true armor of the gods.
Especially now, with the armor forged from Kobelco Aoliha Steel, its resilience far surpassed that of Vibranium or Adamantium.It was as if his very creation had been baptized by Hades' divine blessing.
Captain America, too, had changed.Strengthened not only by the Super Soldier Serum but now also by the power bestowed upon him in the Earth Palace, Steve Rogers stood stronger and faster than ever before — his very spirit burning with renewed conviction.
"Damn Avengers! How dare you defy the envoys of the Great Serpent!""Let fear consume everything in this world!"
The Hammer of Skadi blazed with divine frost.From it surged an aura of freezing dread — a divine power so cold it could turn the air to ice.A pale green light erupted and clashed with the gathered Avengers!
In an instant, a blast of overwhelming energy descended upon them like judgment from the heavens.Truly, Asgardians had an unhealthy obsession with hammers.Skadi, the Goddess of Winter — one would expect her to wield a scepter, elegant and regal.But no, she too carried a hammer.
The shockwave struck — and Captain America stood firm.He raised his Kobelco shield high before his allies.
In that instant, the divine power of Skadi pierced into his mind, manifesting his greatest fears —Carter… Bucky…Regret, sorrow, and guilt all swelled within his heart.
Yet compared to the visions he had endured in the Earth Palace, these illusions were nothing.He crushed the fear within him — and charged forward!
The hammer of Original Sin fell upon him —and Captain America met it head-on!
Thor's lightning surged beside him, thunder exploding across the battlefield.Together, their combined power struck the enemy head-on.
BOOM!
The Hammer of Skadi was blasted from Original Sin's hands!
"Damn it! Damn you all!" she roared, rushing to reclaim her weapon.Divine frost gathered once more around her body as she raised the hammer.
"I am Skadi, Goddess of the Frozen North! The voice of the Serpent itself!"
But before she could strike again, a deafening clang echoed across the sky—and a stronger divine presence descended from above.
The warriors of Asgard had arrived.
"Encircle her! Suppress her power!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Poor Skadi never realized that her so-called "resurrection" would bring only ruin.Her winter divine power, once feared, was now useless before true gods.
Meanwhile, above the vast ocean, a blue radiance shimmered across the waves.
The Sea Breaker had awakened.
He was once Attuma, the tyrant of Atlantis — a warlord who coveted Namor's throne.Now, empowered by the Skyhammer's divine energy, his ambition had become monstrous.
Atlantis would drown in fear, and the Great Serpent was but a tool to that end.He no longer cared for oaths or allegiances — only domination.
Bloody waves churned across the sea's surface as countless Atlanteans fell.Attuma's laughter echoed through the deep.
"Namor! Namor! I, Attuma, have returned!""I, the Sea Breaker of the Depths, have returned!"
He raised his massive pickaxe-like weapon — the Hammer of the Sea Breaker — glowing with ancient runes and crusted shells.Blood trailed in his wake, but there was no response.
Namor was gone.
And so, Attuma turned his rage upon the world above.Atlantis would vanish — and fear would reign in its place.
From the far horizon, a shadow approached — walking calmly upon the waves.The ocean's currents parted for him, as if afraid to touch his feet.
"Heh… another fool comes to die," Attuma sneered.
But when the figure emerged from the mist, his smirk faltered.
The man was clad head to toe in black armor, the sea unable to touch his form.His face was pale, his expression sharp — predatory.Elongated ears hinted at something inhuman beneath the helm, and his eyes gleamed with crimson hunger.
"I am the Skyhammer Lord under Orochi," he said coldly."Accept the fear of the world."
A terrifying power erupted from his weapon, surging through the depths of the ocean and colliding with the Sea Breaker's might.
Attuma grinned, baring his teeth."You think you can challenge me in my own sea?"
The black-armored man only smiled faintly."Lord Earhart commanded me to restrain my bloodlust… What a pity. You smell delicious."
With a wave of his hand, a crimson sea unfurled beneath him.
"I am Rebold of the Earth Prison, Wu Parr!In the name of Lord Earhart— I will judge you!"
The ocean boiled.
Sea of Blood!
All the blood spilled in the ocean gathered to Rebold's command, swirling into a vortex of scarlet light.In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the Sea Breaker completely.
Attuma screamed — but no sound escaped.He was devoured by the sea of blood.
And just like that, the mighty Skyhammer of the Sea Breaker was gone — swallowed whole by the abyss.
