Bleach Trivia:
"Espadas are so powerful they can destroy separate dimensions just by flexing their Reiatsu, although it would take them a few hours."

Greek Underworld.
The land of the dead ruled by the Oldest Olympian, Hades.
One of the strongest beings in the world, considered an anomaly amongst the divine due to being born with power greater than their progenitor, the Primordials.
Although legends told that Zeus was the one who defeated and killed Kronos, that was merely a story made up by the God King to hide his incompetence and needed to rely on Hades to do the job.
In the end, Hades received no recognition of his actions while Zeus became the ruler of Olympus.
On the other hand, Hades was given the jurisdiction of the Underworld.
Hades made no fuss about it. He quite like the atmosphere and the silence and serenity in this place as well.
At this moment, in a large gothic castle, a handsome man with white hair and an eyepatch can be seen sitting on a throne, wearing a white luxurious suit.
Naturally, this man is none other than Hades himself.
"So? Have you found out what happened, Nyx?" Spoke Hades.
Just then, the space rippled, and a young girl looking to be in her teens, wearing a cute frilly dress with a corset jumper skirt. She has long silky black hair and pointed ears, with a curvaceous body even a goddess of beauty would envy.
She is Nyx, the Primordial of the Night, one of the strongest beings in Greece whom even the Godking Zeus feared.
In underworld, she acts as Hades' confidante and right hand woman, helping him deal with all sorts of internal and external affairs.
And Hades has a lot of work.
Due to the arrogant and lustful nature of the Olympians, specifically Zeus, the Greek Faction have offended a lot of powers over the years.
It was Hades who was cleaning up the mess of his brothers and his family.
He never complained though, treating it as his job as the older brother to take care of his younger brothers.
"Yes," Nyx nodded as she sat down on a chair she materilized herself, "10 thousand Grim Reapers have been stolen and reprogrammed by Eris, the Goddess of Strife to obey her, and sent them to wreck havoc on the devils side."
"Devils?" Hades tilted his head, "The descendants of Lucifer?"
Hades remembered the being who fell in the Underworld eons ago, and couldn't help but smile in reminiscence.
Before his fall, Lucifer was considered as one of the strongest beings in the world. His "Aspect of Sun" was so powerful the Sun Gods could only lower their heads in shame.
Hades have the pleasure of fighting him once, and his flesh was completely burned from existence, leaving him as a walking skeleton.
Lucifer also lost ten of his wings in that battle, and Hades actually have it made into artifacts which he kept hidden.
The two developed some rivalry and friendship after that fight.
Unfortunately, after Lucifer fell from grace, he lost majority of his powers and was severely weakened, so much so that Hades finds his devil form difficult to look at.
Not to mention due to splitting his power and giving them away to the 72 Devils he had created, he was left even more weakened than he already is.
And those 72 devils couldn't even use Lucifer's powers properly! They were just throwing them around like a child with a gun.
As his friend, Hades couldn't stand the fact that the powers of his friend that he had gifted was degenerated to that point.
That's why he despises those devils.
He feels like his friend's legacy was being tarnished by his incompetent descendants.
Thankfully, devils who actually managed to use their powers properly finally appeared in the form of the current Satans.
Those four did not tarnish the powers of his friend.
Due to that, Hades was even protecting them from other divine pantheons.
"Yes," Nyx nodded, "the military bases they have established have been destroyed and Eris is using the Grim Reapers to massacre the devils at the border."
Hades sighed. He was just gone for a few hours to send his wife to meet with her mother, and when he returned, he was already dealing with such a large matter.
"That woman," Hades let out an annoyed grunt, "What does she plan to do?"
"I believe she wants to cause as much chaos as possible," said Nyx, with Hades just giving him an 'isn't that obvious' look, "She's starting to fade away. She probably just wanted to be relevant. As the Goddess of Strife, this is the easiest way for her to gain recognition."
Gods die when people forget about them. For this reason, many Pantheons would assist humans to make a movies, novels, or any entertainment about themselves for people to remember them.
Hades have heard that Shinto Pantheon in Japan are relatively safe due to the appearance of a new professions called Mangakas, and also because of the so-called Anime.
"I will go bring her back." Hades stood up from his throne, "That stupid woman just added a lot of problems for me."
"No need for you to make a move, I can do it." Said Nyx.
Hades shook his head, "No, I feel like something interesting is going to happen later. Let me go and take a look."
Nyx hesitated for a moment before sighing, "Very well. Although it is unnecessary, but please be careful."
Hades smiled, "It's unnecessary, yes. But it's very much appreciated." He patted Nyx on the head, much to her embarrassment, "Don't worry. I am strong."
Nyx gently slapped his hand away, "Stop treating me like a kid, I'm older than you. And that's what you said before you were burned by Lucifer eons ago."
"Yeah, maybe I'll meet someone like Lucifer again today?"
"Hope not. I don't want to see you all bones again."
Hades merely chuckled before disappearing from his throne.

"Wh-What's...this—?!" Eris, the Goddess of Strife was crawling on the ground, barely even being able to move. 'My body....feels so heavy...what's happening!?'
Starrk stood a good few meters away from her, his hands still in his pockets as he carefully observed the woman.
Honestly, when Eris decided to attack him, she couldn't handle his Reiatsu and flopped down to the ground.
It was kind of anticlimactic, but it suits Starrk just fine.
'Her soul is on the verge of dissipating,' thought Starrk. He had seen a lot of this case.
Before joining the Espadas, some stronger Hollows who would approach him and Lilynette wouldn't die immediately, but they would slowly dissipate.
'Capturing a so-called god should be more than enough right?' Starrk slowly approached the goddess.
With each step, Eris was slowly sinking into despair. She felt like an ant trying to carry an elephant. That's how much pressure she was enduring at this moment.
"Ah, how troublesome." Starrk halted his steps, already feeling that the woman was about to die if he decided to approach her more than this.
'What to do?' Starrk didnt realize how weak this woman was. His Fellow Espadas remained unaffected by his Reiatsu he almost forgot that he used to kill weaker Hollows just by remaining motionless.
"Hm?" Starrk looked up, and immediately saw another person appearing from the sky.
White hair, an eyepatch, and wearing a white suit. The aura radiating from him already put him on the level of an Espada.
Starrk was a bit intrigued. Seems like he underestimated this world a bit. So there are actually beings here that can match an Espada.
"Greetings, devil." The man smiled at him, "My name is Hades, God of the Dead. May I ask who you are?"
"...Coyote Starrk," he replied curtly. "If you are looking to help the girl, then I suggest you give up and run. I promise I won't kill you if you do."
Hades stared at him, looking quite startled, before erupting into boisterous laughter.
"Hahahaha!!!" He clutched his stomach, as if enduring pain. Finally, after a full minute of laughter, he stopped, wiping the tears at the corner of his eyes.
With a smile, he stared at Starrk, "I actually wanted to take back the girl. Can I?"
Starrk shook his head. "Sorry. I need to send her off to Falbium."
"Eris, the Goddess of Strife, will be punished. I swear it." Hades said solemnly, "Let me take her and I will personally go and meet with the Satans to discuss this matter."
Starrk hesitated for a moment. If he refused, then a fight is definitely inevitable. So he'd rather just give her up and let this matter end.
Finally, he shrugs, "Well, fi—"
"Bullshit!"
And Starrk knew things would definitely escalate.
He sighed, his life was so much peaceful back in Huecu Mundo.
