Time. Hourglass. Star Chronometer.
Chronos—the God of Time!
He is the god who transcends the past, present, and all futures—the only being whose existence defies perception.
His power is absolute, unique, and supreme.
He existed before the beginning of beginnings—the prime mover that birthed all creation.
Everything arose from his divine power:the tangible and the intangible, the physical and the spiritual.
The sun, the moon, the stars, the cosmos, the laws, and worlds.Concepts, causality, nature, fate, order, reason, and truth.Even Chaos, Infinity, Heaven, Earth, and Ocean—all stem from him.
He is the Supreme God.
In the Saint Seiya mythos, the so-called Saturn of the Saint Resistance is merely a fragment—a shadow, a splinter—of the true God of Time, Chronos.
Yet even that fragment alone could annihilate a world without effort.
Let alone the true Chronos himself—the god who exists outside eternal time and infinite space.
"This world was remade by me," Aaron's voice echoed coldly through the void."It does not belong to any ancient god's dominion. So tell me—where did you come from?"
He stood motionless, calm—yet he could feel it.Those unseen hands that gripped his very destiny.
Who am I?
I am Hades, one of the Three Great Kings of the Olympian pantheon—alongside Zeus and Poseidon!
In this realm of Eternal Tribulation, there exists only one place on Mount Olympusthat may glimpse the edge of this mystery.
And if one speaks of the most powerful beings in this universe—beyond even the "Author's Avatar" itself—then the only existence comparable is the transcendent bug that lies beyond logic!
In this universe, that immortal Overgod is the origin of every myth.
He dwells eternally within the depths of time and space,and every grain of sand in his Hourglass of Time represents a living world.
Such divine might…
That is precisely what Aaron desires most!
"I merely came to see you," Chronos' voice resounded like a whisper of creation itself."As long as you exist, so shall I.Wherever you are, I can witness your presence."
"Is that so?"
Aaron smiled faintly and waved his hand."In that case, remain here beneath this Waterfall of Blood,and watch as I ascend from this form—to surpass even Zeus himself."
Beyond the Small Universe (Microcosmos) lies the Ultimate Power.
But even possessing that, one might still fall short of Zeus' Divine Physique.
In this Marvel-Saint-Seiya world, the so-called Almighty is nothing but the Living Tribunal.And yet, Aaron—Hades—had never encountered any trace of that being.
No matter.
His first task—to surpass himself!
To break free of this universe—to transcend it entirely!
To expand the Underworld from his own hand,until it engulfed all creation, and through that expansion—attain the moment of absolute might.
Then, and only then, could he escape this timeless cage.
"I must face the Five Creator Gods of this world."
Aaron's eyes glimmered like twin black suns.He, Hades, the King of the Underworld, was ready.But were his Underworld Saints prepared to rise with him?
He turned and walked away without another glance at the illusion of Chronos—the supreme being who held the fates of all existence.
For such a god to appear in his world…could only mean imbalance.
As Aaron's presence faded, the great Hourglass of Time began to slow.Within the Hands of Eternity, faint threads of lightning crackled—a familiar rhythm of thunder.
If Aaron had stayed longer, he would have recognized it instantly—the God-Slaying Thunder of Zeus.
But fate offered no second glance.
He was gone.
Aaron returned to his own realm—and upon the Waterfall of Blood, he inscribed his divine name.Henceforth, no being but he could cross its threshold.
"Chronos…"
He murmured, remembering the ancient whispers of that name.Even one of his former subordinates had been that god's brother.
Thus, Aaron was no stranger to the power of this supreme god of time.
Yet—in all the heavens and all the worlds of men,there were no legends left of Chronos.
"Could it be… he was the one who guided my body into this universe?"
Aaron frowned, deep in thought—but found no answer.
When he had been struck down by Athena,the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was obliterated in an instant.
That moment had come too suddenly, too violently.What truly happened—no one knew.
To uncover the truth,Aaron descended to the final palace of the Eighth Prison.
Beyond it lay the Wall of Lamentation—the barrier that even the sun's light could not pierce.
But now, the Pure Land was unmade,and this place—the throne of the God of Heaven's Kingdom—had become the resting place of his true body.
The divine vessel that had lain here for thousands of years since his time-transcending fall.
"I haven't been here in ages…" Aaron murmured."I wonder how my body fares now."
He stepped into the grand hall.Dark cosmic energy of his own Microcosmos enveloped the space,sealing it against all intruders.
Here, none but Aaron could enter.
No one in the universe knew that within this dimension lay a body—a divine form exceeding the single universe,one that had reached the level of a multiversal god.
If such knowledge ever spread,chaos would engulf the cosmos anew.
For the physical form of Hades itselfwas already equivalent to a weapon of godly destruction—a force capable of annihilating an entire universe.
To unleash that body as a weaponwould be to detonate a cosmic bomb.
And there he was.
The divine body—majestic, flawless, resplendent.The form he had preserved since the Mythic Age.
Hidden in the deepest sanctum of the Pure Land,this body had never fallen,even as his soul warred against Athena and the gods above.
Now, reunited with this vessel,Aaron felt something stir deep within.
A strange resonance.
"This energy…"
From within the divine body,a mysterious current flowed—healing the scars of battle, restoring divine perfection.
Such purity… it was not the power of a mere Small Universe.Could this be the fabled Ultimate Power itself?
Aaron's eyes gleamed.
At that moment, behind him, a dark crest unfolded in the air.
As it emerged, his own cosmos surged to new heights—far beyond anything before.
"The Ultimate Power…" Aaron whispered, his hand trembling with awe."Yes… this is it! This is the Ultimate Power!"
His divine laughter echoed through the halls of the Underworld—the awakening of a god whose true form had finally returned.
