4(2b): I also felt it in the light. After being torn from brother's body, Hades
flew to that star...
5(2b): And I feel a stronger power than before emanating from his palace
there...which means...

8)
1: Yes.
2: That is the palace on the final star, Pluton.
3: The palace into which I poured all of the lord of the underworld's power into,
where I intended to spend my time alone after the salvation.
4: Alone...those burns!
5: Sorry, Tenma...Hades' goal was death through conviction...

god...

the earth.
