Episode 1 recap

Ares tends a quiet field and drives his hoe into the dirt, releasing sigils into the sky to call the six races. High above, a Demon God dragon chases three Temple elders and smashes their defenses. The elders crash into a crater. When the beast dives to burn Ares alive, the disguised God-King throws his simple tool. The hoe splits the beast cleanly in two. Ares then steps into a portal.

Episode 1 Scene by Scene

  1. 00:00: Summoning the Six Pledged Races

    Ares works alone in a wheat field dressed as a farmer. He drives his hoe into the soil. Radiant light sigils shoot into the open sky, calling on the six races to honor their ancient marriage pact.

  2. 00:14: The Abyssal Dragon Pursuit

    A giant Demon God dragon flies through the sky in pursuit of three elders from the Temple of Radiance. The monstrous beast threatens to shatter the demon-binding seal and unleash hordes of demons upon the realm below.

  3. 00:51: Watching From the Wheat Field

    Ares stops his farm work and watches the aerial clash from the ground. He observes the Temple of Radiance that he established a thousand years ago. He notes that the order has now produced a living demigod.

  4. 01:03: The Temple Elders Crash Down

    The dragon attacks the elders with overwhelming force. It destroys the golden barrier and the glowing knight projection raised by the three priests. The shattered magic sends all three elders falling straight down into the dirt field.

  5. 01:37: A Warning in the Crater

    The dragon lands by the crater and insults the fallen elders, calling them worms. Ares calls out to the creature. The injured high priest hears him and urgently yells for the apparent peasant to run for his life.

  6. 02:00: Slaying the Dragon With a Hoe

    The dragon dives forward to incinerate Ares with flames. Ares casually tosses his farming hoe through the air. The blade slices the massive Demon God cleanly in two, killing it on the spot before the shocked temple priests.

  7. 02:26: Stepping Through the Fire Portal

    Ares walks over and picks his farming hoe up off the ground. He points out how weak demon gods have become. A fiery dimensional portal opens in the field, and Ares steps inside to meet his prospective brides.
