In the mythic past, Hades saved Olympus from invasion by the Titans. His power is unquestionable—how can Qin Shi Huang ever hope to defeat him? Even though terribly wounded, the first emperor of China is undaunted. With the help of Alvitr the Valkyrie and the power of Volund, Qin Shi Huang is not giving up! The gods can no longer take victory in the tournament for granted, and the champions of humanity still have to give every match everything they’ve got!
