The history behind the world where Hades and Cronos originated from was rather complicated, despite being from Greek Mythology, this world enjoyed having various gods aside from Greek Mythos. The gods from all these mythologies were born from humanity, and stayed permanently overlooking the areas where they were born by human's prayers. Similarly to Frank's Earth, but not as ridiculous in certain ways, while still being even more ridiculous with other ways. The power of these gods was always clashing against one another, and several cultures were guided by the gods they created into wars, while cultures that should had been long gone in the original Earth remained alive in this parallel Earth.
This world was filled with monsters and dangers, as divine energy emanated from the gods created by humanity's beliefs flowed across the entire planet, corrupting itself and turning into monsters that threatened their lives. Since the origin of the gods that monsters were born, and as a way to control the masses, gods used monsters as an excuse for a common enemy all of their humans had to go against.
Although wars between factions were still common for resources and lands, as monsters continued to emerge and new dark gods born from large cults were born, more dangers began to emerge across the planet. Even in the modern society where technology was attained and industrialization was acquired through mixing magic with technology, monsters continued being a big menace, and humanity learned more and more about gods as well, and how they could be created.
Over time, humanity began to create artificial gods by accumulating enormous quantities of humans, prayers, and more, and began to use these artificial gods to serve them for their nefarious purposes, causing chaos and destruction while also bringing even more disaster between the countries. Gods began to realize the mistake of their very existences, but various gods, such as Hades and his siblings continued to believe in a bright future ahead, using their wisdom to guide their country and reinforce the law against those that practiced illegal black magic that could create artificial gods or divine beings.
However, Cronos, the ancient Titan God of Time, who had been in a slumber ever since he was defeated in a fight against Zeus suddenly awakened and decided that this world was too ruined. He had attempted to turn back time to the point where he was born, so he would be able to shape the entire world to how he thought was the correct way, this would negate all the things that had happened, and literally delete billions of people from existence.
Of course, he had to be stopped. Hades, Zeus, Poseidon, and many of the other gods went against Cronos and his army of Titans, as they also supported his decision of turning back time to the times when they governed the world before the gods. The battle was intense and even gods from other regions such as the Egyptian Gods and the Nordic Gods helped, but at the end, it was thanks to Hades sacrifice that Cronos was defeated, as his entire soul and body were destroyed and the last part of his Time Divinity was fused into the Universal Membranes by Hades, managing to bring back the time-manipulating powers back to the universe and to not allow anybody to use them again, as they were too powerful and dangerous.
With Hades sacrificing himself, his entire body was torn apart into many soul fragments. One of them was summoned by Frank through a special item he randomly acquired, while the other pieces fell into the planet earth as crystalized meteors that began to infect areas of Earth with Death and Dark element, creating dangerous monster nests that humans and the gods had to take care of.
…However, Cronos had somehow not died. In the last battle Hades was not able to properly check out if all the fragments of his father were truly destroyed. Although he made sure to merge his divinity with the Universal Membrane to not make his power available to anybody ever again, he never made completely sure if his soul was completely destroyed.
At the end, 99% of Cronos soul was destroyed, but that 1% of it, a small fragment, remained alive. It slowly floated in the middle of space, freezing into an ice stone that fell as a meteor a few years after his death, reaching an area of Earth. When he awakened by the melting ice layer covering him, he was merely a small soul fragment, no bigger than a rat.
But as he died and experienced so much frustration, the hidden power latent within his soul since he was born from Gaia and Uranus was awakened, realizing he had memories of a life he doesn't recalled before, knowledge, and more flowed through his mind, he gained a new motivation to move forward and recall more memories, grow stronger, regain all the authority he once had in this world, and then met with his other "selves" to reunite and reform himself anew into the former entity he once was.
He became a monster like never before, devouring life until the point he was able to confront Zeus and Poseidon once more, engulfing them while collecting the fragments of Hades scattered everywhere, he gained incredible power. And just before he were to conquer Olympus, he was suddenly summoned by the Emperor as his world connected to several other worlds out of nowhere.
Cronos couldn't help but feel rather happy at that time, but after seeing how everyone disagreed with fusing into him, he felt angered and frustrated, believing that they were in the wrong, and thinking that if they continued to disagree with fusing with him… then that it was completely justified to use brute force and make them fuse with him.
But it all changed quickly, the common enemy that everyone had was ignored until the last moment, when everybody was enclosed in different dimensional rooms… The powers that Frank held were greater than he ever imagined.
