[ To fulfill her ideal of reclaiming Hades' soul, Pandora, having changed her clothes, rushed into the Earth Demon Palace, searching for Wyvern Rhadamanthys!
"Aaaah—!!"
Before she even got close, she heard screams emanating from within. At this moment, Rhadamanthys was still struggling with the divine blood bestowed upon him by Alone.
And Wyvern's most loyal subordinate, Valentine, was guarding the door: "Please go back, Lady Pandora!"
"Until my master defeats that blood, I will absolutely not let anyone through here."
Hearing this, Pandora was furious. Without giving any face, her long leg stepped onto the latter's head, and she insulted him: "Your master Rhadamanthys is merely a loyal dog I keep. Say it again, open the door!"
Hearing these words, Valentine's eyes instantly turned cold, and he warned Pandora: "Please do not trample on my master's dignity because of your twisted obsession with Lord Hades!"
Seeing Valentine's resolute attitude, Pandora intensified her actions.
Subsequently, countless venomous snakes appeared around, baring their fangs and biting at him.
"If Rhadamanthys hasn't disciplined you, then I will discipline you!"
"Sublime Poison—"
Seeing this, the latter no longer gave Pandora any face, and his Cosmo began to gather, with the phantom of a Harpy appearing behind him!
"You can say whatever you want about me, but my master is not some dog—!"
In an instant, all the venomous snakes coiled around him were shattered! In his heart, Rhadamanthys's loyalty was noble and pure!
He could offer his life for his liege, and even offer his heart for the King of the Underworld, but never for a malicious woman like Pandora!
Just as the two were still entangled in battle, an earth-shattering roar came from behind the giant door.
The next second, the door was pulverized! A Wyvern burst out like a primeval beast, and the two on the ground were shocked by the terrifying power emanating from Rhadamanthys!
Rhadamanthys slowly emerged from the ruins, his eyes cold and sharp, like an Asura returned from hell: "I heard all of your conversation!" ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Listening to Rhadamanthys's painful wails, it seems that divine blood isn't so easy to suppress!"
"Good heavens, did Pandora forget she was wearing a skirt? If Valentine had just looked up, he would have gotten an eyeful!"
Everyone from other worlds was stunned by Pandora's inexplicable actions!
What was this?! She was asking for help, yet her attitude was so terrible, openly calling someone's master a loyal dog in front of their loyal subordinate...
Valentine, who was faithfully protecting his master, was still humiliated by Pandora.
The most awkward part was that the conversation between Pandora and Valentine was overheard by Rhadamanthys himself. Now, she was truly in a difficult position.
.....
〜Demon Slayer World〜
"She sure knows how to talk..."
Shinobu Kocho felt a little embarrassed seeing this scene.
Even the most good-tempered person would be furious if someone called them a loyal dog! Moreover, Rhadamanthys didn't seem like someone with a good temper.
"Tsk tsk, Pandora's in trouble now! Forget asking for help, she's even in danger herself."
She not only humiliated Rhadamanthys but also his subordinate. Forget about getting revenge on Alone. Now she'll be dead or crippled.
However... this ability to instantly provoke anger, there's a strange sense of déjà vu, as if she's seen it somewhere before!
.....
[ Rhadamanthys looked at Pandora with a cold expression, then slowly spoke to Valentine in front of him: "You step back. I will clarify things with Lady Pandora!"
Hearing this, Valentine looked at Rhadamanthys, who appeared like an undefeated war god, admiration overflowing in his eyes, and slowly retreated.
He thought to himself: My lord will surely understand me! Lord Hades is not here now, that woman is not even a Hades Army cadre...
Not only that, but many comrades have been wantonly trampled upon by her!! And she insults us as dogs.
Rebel now!!
He believed that Lord Rhadamanthys would abandon Pandora just like him!
At this moment, Rhadamanthys had walked in front of Pandora, raising his arm high, and on his arm, destructive fluctuations were contained: "Let this fist do the talking!"
The next second, the fist instantly shot out!
But the fist did not hit Pandora; instead, it hit Valentine, who had just been defending Rhadamanthys's dignity, his most loyal subordinate—Valentine!!
Blood gushed uncontrollably from the latter's chest, and Valentine's eyes were filled with disbelief: "I... don't understand...!"
Rhadamanthys said coldly, "To offer one's life to the Hades Army, that is loyalty, Valentine!"
Then, in Valentine's disbelieving eyes, Rhadamanthys slowly knelt on one knee before Pandora: "Please allow me to participate in the war once again in the name of the Hades Army, as your Wyvern!"
And Pandora generously raised her leg and stepped on Rhadamanthys's shoulder: "From now on, you shall serve me and Lord Hades to your heart's content as a loyal dog!"
Subsequently, Rhadamanthys unhesitatingly unleashed a Greatest Caution on his most loyal subordinate, completely obliterating him—!!
Then, Rhadamanthys and Pandora no longer lingered, intending to go with Alone to settle scores, but at this moment!
Little Lion, Pegasus, and Athena also arrived here: "Before your Lord Hades gets beaten up, you'd better hurry back!"
Enemies meeting again, their eyes were red with anger, and the atmosphere instantly became tense! ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Seriously... are the Hades Army people's brains all so weird? Why did you hit Valentine?! Normally, wouldn't you hit Pandora?!"
"Oh no, am I confused, or is the Wyvern confused? I completely can't understand!"
Everyone almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Is this what you meant by letting your fist do the talking?! You should have punched Pandora and said that...
Not only did Valentine not understand, but even the viewers outside the video who watched from beginning to end didn't understand why Valentine had to be eliminated?!
The most incomprehensible thing was why Rhadamanthys was willing to kneel before Pandora, and even be humiliated as a loyal dog again!
Does he really enjoy being trampled under Pandora's long legs...?

〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜
In the alley, Natsuki Subaru, watching this scene, was also completely baffled:
"I completely don't understand..."
He racked his brains but couldn't find any reason why Rhadamanthys would kill Valentine. Just now, that person was desperately defending your Wyvern's dignity!
"Could it be that attacking their own people has become a tradition? Most of the Hades Army's forces are actually dealt with by people from the Underworld!"
Aiacos, one of the Three Judges, sacrificed Specters like objects, and Rhadamanthys directly executed his most loyal subordinate.
As for their leader, Hades, he was even worse, killing most of the Hades Army himself.
Although their stances were different, Natsuki Subaru felt that Valentine, this warrior, was wasted; he died a truly unjust death.
〜Sword Art Online World〜
Seeing Pegasus's ill-timed appearance, Kirito asked from the bottom of his heart:
"No... why are you stopping them?!"
If they want to fight Alone, let them fight! Why fight again? Anyway, their destination is the same, and you can clear fewer demon palaces!
Asuna was a little puzzled:
"If Pandora had communicated with Pegasus and the others here, would the Little Lion not have to die?!"
Pegasus and the others have been clearing demon palaces; they're a version behind in information! But Pandora could have told them, their goals are the same after all.
Kirito shook his head at the words:
"The battle between the Little Lion and Rhadamanthys is inevitable; it's a vendetta for his father."
Regulus has been training ever since he recalled his father's death! All for the sake of finding Rhadamanthys; their battle is unavoidable.

In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia
Merlin was also astonished seeing this scene:
"Tsk tsk, anyone whose thought process isn't bizarre enough isn't fit to be in the Hades Army, huh..."
All rational choices would be calculated by others; only sudden madness cannot be predicted. Rhadamanthys's move indeed caught them off guard.
Even Ishtar, a goddess, was full of question marks:
"Did Rhadamanthys's head get fried during the fight against the divine blood?!"
Killing his most loyal subordinate to show loyalty to Pandora, who humiliated him?!
She finally understood why Minos, one of the Three Judges, exited so early; he seemed out of place among the Three Judges.
He was the only one who didn't kill his subordinates, so he couldn't get along with the Three Judges. Although he was a bit flamboyant, at least his thought process was relatively normal.
