Possessed tyrant of the seas

past

Poseidon was born as the third brother of the oldest Greek gods. He seemed to have an apathetic personality from birth, never paying attention to his older brother Adamas. After Cronus' defeat in the Titanomachy at the hands of Zeus, the latter obtained the ascension to the throne of Olympus, however the primordial goddess Gaia refused to accept this result so she commanded an army of giants to Olympus to destroy her grandchildren, thus beginning the Gigantomachy. Poseidon participated in this war alongside Zeus, Adamas and his nephews Hermes and Ares, managing to defeat the giants. Some time later Adamas was frustrated by being under Zeus's orders so he organized a plan to overthrow him and would try to get Poseidon to join him, however the latter only insults him, calling him pathetic for trying to conspire and make alliances with others. This provokes Adamas' anger to the point of trying to attack Poseidon but the latter ends up splitting his body in half effortlessly and apparently killing him. Shortly after, he would also be in charge of erasing all record of him in history. According to Hermes who was present at that meeting, having ordered that Adamas be eliminated from all historical records and that this order be obeyed immediately without reproach, is even more terrifying than managing to defeat Adamas so easily because no god dares to contradict Poseidon, making everything he says become an absolute truth. About four thousand years ago. Poseidon was present at the council of gods to decide the fate of humanity. In the end, humans were allowed to live, but not without a punishment which was the destruction of the ancient Greek city of Thebes. His decision in both that vote and the vote that caused Ragnarök is unknown, but it is most likely that it was against humans.

appearance

Poseidon appears as a young man with a thin build, wavy blond hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. He wears a tight-fitting navy blue armor that leaves part of his chest and abdomen exposed, wears a golden choker around his neck, and on his hands he wears a pair of green fingerless gloves with cyan wristbands. Around his waist he wears a long white tunic with golden circular patterns. Underneath this tunic he wears loose blue pants and green boots that reach up to his knees. His most distinctive feature is his expressionless face which he has had since the moment he was born and which rarely shows any emotion. In addition to this, he was always seen carrying with him an intricately detailed trident which was almost as long as his body.

personality

Poseidon was a fearsome and ruthless god, showing no signs of hesitation or remorse as he impaled his older brother Adamas, keeping his face expressionless. He regarded humans as filth, though he also thought the same of the vast majority of gods, this could be seen when he entered the combat arena, declaring that both the gods and humans in the stands were nothing but trash. Later on, his hatred towards them would be seen again when he looked at them with contempt just after being praised during his fight against Kojiro. For Poseidon, a god does not need armies, allies or friends since according to his words the gods must be perfect beings from the moment they are born, so anyone who requires any of those things represents a dishonor to the title of "god". He did not usually express any emotion, maintaining a cold and severe attitude to the point where Loki describes him as someone bitter and humorless, however when Kojiro mocks the perfection of a god, Poseidon was somewhat upset because his ideals had been questioned by a human. He also proved to be someone arrogant by underestimating and insulting Kojiro throughout the fight, however just at the moment of his defeat Poseidon would be carried away by anger, cursing Kojiro before dying.

skills

Poseidon was someone feared and respected by the vast majority of gods who were afraid of provoking his wrath; going so far as to recognize him with several epithets such as "The Zeus of the sea", "God of gods", "The tyrant of the ocean" and "The most terrifying god". Despite the status that Poseidon had, he did not demonstrate any divine power in his combat and only fought using his physical abilities along with his trident. It can be assumed that he was definitely powerful, since shortly before starting the third round of Ragnarök Brynhildr was indecisive when trying to choose an Einherjar who could face him. Another example of Poseidon's power is that he easily defeated his older brother Adamas who according to Ares, was a very strong god since he even managed to tame the monster Typhon on his own. Hydrokinesis: Being the god of the seas, Poseidon had the ability to manipulate water with great ease, which could be seen when he parted the waters surrounding the arena in order to climb the stairs to the fighting platform. It is unknown if Poseidon was able to use the water in his surroundings to attack or defend himself, as he never showed any techniques based on hydrokinesis during his fight against Kojiro. Divine Strength: Poseidon was able to split Adamas's body in two and throw him into a wall with great ease. During Kojiro Sasaki's mental simulations, each and every one of his attacks were strong enough to kill him in one hit, and he was able to easily destroy part of the fighting platform by unleashing a shower of stabs on Kojiro. Divine Speed ​​and Reflexes: Poseidon's speed and reflexes are exceptional, as demonstrated by impaling his brother Adamas before he could react, defeating him in an instant. In his fight against Kojiro, he managed to easily dodge several of his faster attacks and even after Sasaki.

impale his brother Adamas before the latter could react, defeating him in an instant. In his fight against Kojiro, he managed to dodge several of his faster attacks without issue, and even after Sasaki managed to thoroughly scan his movements, it was revealed that Poseidon was still holding back. As he began to take the fight seriously, his speed increased to the point of leaving hundreds of afterimages of himself, rendering Kojiro unable to predict his attacks. Divine Resilience: Despite suffering multiple attacks from Kojiro all over his body, Poseidon remained calm and indifferent to his injuries and blood loss. His tolerance for pain is also seen as he continued to fight even after losing both of his arms, being knocked down only after being dismembered by Kojiro Sasaki's finishing attack. れる波濤（アムピトリテ), Amupitorite?, lit. "Raging Wave"): Poseidon uses his trident to launch a series of rapid thrusts in circular patterns at his enemy. Kione Demeter Shot (荒海に降る神雷 (キオネ・テュロ・デーメテール), Kione te~yuro dēmetēru?, lit. "Divine lightning that lashes the seas"): Poseidon makes a long jump in the air, then using his trident begins to launch a flurry of devastating attacks on his enemy. Due to its power and speed, this technique makes the stabs given with his trident look similar to the rain and lightning present in a storm. 十日四十夜の大洪水 (メドゥーサ・アロペ・デーメテール), Medo~ūsa arope dēmetēru ?, Lit. "Flood of forty days and forty nights"): Poseidon's strongest technique in which he begins to move at an incredible speed to the point that he is able to create a dome of "clones" formed by his rapid movements, once said dome has been created and his enemy has no escape Poseidon proceeds to throw a torrent of attacks from all directions

divine weapon

Trident (トライデント, Toraidento): This was blue with gold details adorned with interdigital membranes and a turquoise stone located in the middle of them. At the time of combat, Poseidon demonstrated that he had a formidable command of the weapon since he had enough coordination and strength to easily launch a barrage of thrusts in a matter of seconds.

curiosities

In a special joke illustration made by Chika Aji, Poseidon and Zeus would exchange outfits. Unlike other gods, he never expressed any respect or recognition for his rival, belittling Kojiro even in his last seconds of life. Hermes claims that if Poseidon had wanted to, he would have completely destroyed Adamas' body, so he always knew that he was still alive and in Helheim. Although he is one of Zeus' older brothers, his physical appearance makes him look much younger than him. The names of all of his attacks are named after Poseidon's lovers in Greek mythology, although it is unknown if the Poseidon of Shuumatsu no Valkyrie also has some kind of relationship with said lovers. Her final attack Medusa Alope Demeter is also called "Flood of forty days and forty nights" this name being a reference to the universal flood mentioned in the Bible and in the legends of different cultures around the world. Ironically and contrary to his ideals proclaimed in the manga, in the original Greek mythology Poseidon conspired against Zeus along with other gods. He was the first god to be defeated by a human.
