In the deepest reaches of the Underworld, where the River Styx runs black as obsidian, the god Hades sits upon a throne of molten basalt, his presence a silent storm. Rumors of rebellion stir among the shades, and whispers speak of a lost relic the Helm of Shadows stolen by a force that dares challenge the king of the dead.

The pages unfold with cinematic ferocity jagged panels slicing through battles of spectral warriors, sprawling double page spreads revealing labyrinthine catacombs lit by ghost-fire, and close-ups capturing the raw tension in Hades' eyes as he walks the fine line between ruler and executioner.

Amid this chaos, Nyx, the primordial goddess of night, emerges from the abyss, offering her aid... but her intentions are as unfathomable as the darkness she commands. The alliance leads them into the Obsidian Rift, a realm forgotten by even the gods a place where ancient titans slumber and the very concept of death is rewritten.

As the tension builds, the manga's pacing mirrors a symphony: explosive bursts of action, quiet frames of existential dread, and moments of godlike wrath that crack panels apart. The section crescendos with a shattering cliffhanger Hades standing before an otherworldly gate, a swirling vortex of light and shadow beyond, and the stolen Helm hovering within like a forbidden star.
