Act Raiser/WMG

Actraiser takes place several years after God of War 3
The Evils of Pandora's box merge together and become Tanzra, who, out of some sick idea of fun, decides to take the souls of humanity and recreates the world into his own personal playground. The Master is the metaphysical embodiment of Hope released from Kratos' body destined to bring an end to the chaos Tanzra wrought and restore the world to life, by any means necessary.
