Long ago, the masters of the universe were powerful creatures called titans.
Their siblings soon interrupted their reign and created the huge monster
known as Kraken to defeat their parents. The leader of all is Zeus /zoos/, the ruler
of the heavens; Poseidon took control over the oceans. Still, their brother Hades /hay·deez/ was
forced to reside in the underworld. As time passed, Zeus created humans so
they could worship the deities, giving the gods immortality and infinite powers.
Lately, humans have become restless and begun to doubt the existence of the gods.
One day like others, in the oceans, a fisherman finds a coffin floating in the waters.
He picks it up and finds a woman's body and her newborn baby.
The man decides to keep the child. He names him Perseus /pur·see·uhs/, and
after many years he becomes a fisherman like his father.
On their way to the city of Argos, they see the massive statue of Zeus in front of them.
But they soon realize that soldiers are knocking the sculpture off its feet.
Eventually, the giant statue falls off the cliff.
Suddenly the sky darkens, and flying creatures rush out of the ocean.
The creatures kill the soldiers. After that, they begin to merge with each other,
eventually transforming into Hades . The deity notices the fishermen's boat
and launches himself at them, causing them to drown in the water.
Only Perseus manages to escape the attack, but his family remains trapped in the boat.
The man tries to do something but is unable to save anyone.
Meanwhile, in the sky, Zeus realizes he must teach the mortals a lesson.
Hades arrives on Olympus and tries to convince the brothers to take revenge on mankind.
Apollo disagrees because they need the prayers of humans for their immortality.
Nevertheless, Zeus accepts Hades' plan. On earth, Perseus is rescued by the soldiers
of Argos and taken to the city. The soldiers inform King
Cepheus /seh·fee·uhs/ that their mission against the gods has succeeded, despite heavy losses.
Cepheus announces to the people that the age of humans, without gods, is coming.
The king's daughter, Andromeda, thinks there will be consequences.
Indeed, it begins to darken, and a cloud of black smoke coalesces in the center of the room.
The tornado-like entity begins to pull all the soldiers toward it.
At the same time, Perseus somehow manages to stay on the ground.
Finally, Hades comes out of the tornado. Hades approaches the queen,
draining the woman's life force. Hades tells the people that he will
unleash the Kraken on the city in 10 days when the solar eclipses.
To stop this, they must offer their princess to the monster as a sacrifice.
Before disappearing, Hades reveals that Perseus is actually the son of Zeus.
The soldiers take Perseus hostage and ask for his help in resolving this situation.
Perseus reveals that he is a simple fisherman and not a warrior. He is visited by a woman named Io,
who seems to know everything about his past. Before his birth, King Acrisius attempted to rebel
against the gods by besieging Mount Olympus. Zeus could have destroyed his army,
but he chose to punish him in another way. Zeus transformed himself into Acrisius
and decided to seduce the queen. When the king returns to his chambers,
he discovers them and orders his wife and infant to be killed.
Before the man can throw the coffin, Zeus electrocutes him,
turning the king into a monster. Io reveals to Perseus that he has the
power to kill the Kraken. At this point, Perseus decides to join the soldiers led by Draco.
They plan to seek out the Styx witches, who can tell them how to kill the Kraken.
On the other side, Hades visits Acrisius, who is now an outcast living in the city sewers.
He tells her that Zeus' son has managed to survive and offers to be his weapon of vengeance.
Hades grants Acrisius enormous power and promises to destroy Zeus if Acrisius kills Perseus.
In the process, Perseus arrives in a forest and observes a glowing aura of light.
It turns out that Zeus has given him a magical weapon,
but Perseus refuses to accept anything from the gods.
Soon after, Perseus finds numerous horses with wings. As he admires them,
another giant horse with black wings appears. Io appears and explains to him that the horse's
name is Pegasus, a magical creature sent by the gods to help him destroy the Kraken.
At that moment, Perseus hears a scream from nearby.
HeHe reaches the soldiers and discovers that Acrisius has killed two of his companions.
The monster attacks Perseus, and the last one falls from the hills.
The creature leaps into the air and comes down with enormous power, narrowly missing Perseus.
He tries to use his sword, but the monster is too powerful. Fortunately, Perseus freed
himself as the other soldiers rushed to help. Still, all are quickly defeated by Acrisius.
The monster reaches Perseus and grabs his head, but Draco manages to save him just in time.
Perseus begins to chase the monster along with the other soldiers.
But at one point, the severed hand turned into a terrifying scorpion.
The soldiers decide to split up and manage to ambush it by knocking it out.
But suddenly, the ground begins to shake, and claws appear from beneath the earth,
allowing Acrisius to escape. Giant scorpions come out into the open,
and a fierce fight begins. The warriors are overwhelmed by the creatures
and are pierced by the scorpion's tail. Draco bides his time and jumps on the giant
scorpion, piercing its back. At the same time, Perseus tries to
attack the monster but is hit by its claws and knocked to the ground.
The scorpion tries to kill the woman, forcing Io inside a structure.
Fortunately, Perseus saves her at the last moment, and the two desperately
flee as the scorpion pursues them. Perseus throws Io away from the area
and prepares to fight the scorpion. The creature throws itself at the man and
devours Perseus. Yet, the latter manages to open the scorpion's stomach and come out.
Before they can rest, more scorpions appear from behind the hills.
But just then, a chant is heard from afar, and the creatures stop.
Draco says those are the Djinns /JINZ/, enemies they fought many years before,
Nevertheless, Perseus now sees them as allies. Although they are hesitant at first, the soldiers
decide to trust the Djinns, as this is the only way to carry the mission to completion.
Thanks to the scorpions, the group traverses the lands,
finally arriving at the garden of Sty gia. It is precisely the home of the
witches that they need. The group reaches the mountain
as night begins to fall. Afterward, three eyeless creatures start to greet the people,
knowing what they are looking for. The monsters demand compensation for
their knowledge, but Perseus steals their one eye and threatens that he will destroy it.
Having no choice, the witches reveal to Perseus that only Medusa can kill Kraken
since her gaze can turn anything stone. Perseus casts his eye to the ground
and decides to leave, but the witches tell him that he will inevitably die on this journey.
Later, Perseus runs into a mysterious man who soon turns out to be Zeus himself.
Zeus wants to offer his protection and calls him to live in heaven with the other gods.
Perseus refuses, choosing to live and die as a man.
Before leaving, Zeus gives his son a gold coin so that he can reach Medusa's lair.
The group arrives at a giant hole within the surface of the earth.
Perseus extracts the gold coin, and the Djinn throws it into the water
while chanting an incantation. Soon, numerous dead souls appear from the water
while pulling a giant boat. Next, the soldiers continue
through a rocky field and finally reach the entrance to Medusa's lair.
The warriors enter the lava-covered cave, where there are countless statues of men,
all victims of Medusa. Suddenly, Medusa attacks them with arrows,
causing them to fall into the lava pits below. Perseus tries to save the Djinn,
and Draco tells the warriors to pursue Medusa. The two soldiers do their best to avoid the
demon's gaze but are quickly turned into statues.
Perseus desperately runs beside the Djinn, trying to avoid the demon's arrows.
Draco watches them from afar, trying to wait for the perfect moment to ambush her.
Then Djinn is caught by Medusa's tail, and she tries to turn him into stone
but surprisingly fails. Djinn laughs and decides to cause a massive explosion.
Draco appears from above and jumps onto a giant rock, causing it to fall onto her tail.
The demon looks back and turns the man into a statue. In the process,
Perseus aims well at the creature's head through reflections on the shield.
Medusa lunges forward, and Perseus manages to finish her off.
The man carries the head with him, but then, suddenly, Acrisius stabs Io in the back.
The warrior lunges at him but is quickly overpowered by the creature. Afterward,
Perseus decides to use the weapon of the gods and leaps into the air, striking Acrisius.
The monster is stabbed in the stomach and turns back into a human.
Perseus tries to save Io, but she tells him to stop the Kraken
and save the inhabitants of Argos. He notices the Pegasus flying toward him
and jumps up to return to Argos.
The sea floor opens, releasing a series of giant tentacles into the waters.
The people realize the monster's arrival and bring their princess to the platform,
offering her as a sacrifice to the Kraken. Meanwhile, at the palace of Olympus,
Hades reveals to Zeus that he has tricked all the gods into making him stronger.
