Ra Horakhty is angry when Ares approaches (Doc. Comic Zenon / Record of Ragnarok: The Apocalypse of the Gods)According to mythology, Ra is one of the supreme gods who reigns in Egyptian mythology.
He was known and revered to the point that pyramid monuments and Obelisk statues were made as a form of offering.
However, this version of Ra is known as a very temperamental god. He is easily angered and does not hesitate to destroy everything including humanity with his own hands.
His body heat is also so extraordinary that even ordinary gods like Ares cannot last long near him.
In the Outer Gods rank, he falls into the unstoppable category.
2. Cu Chulainn
Cu Chulainn asks for a gift of a seat in the assembly of Valhalla (Doc. Comic Zenon / Record of Ragnarok: The Apocalypse of the Gods)Cu Chulainn could be said to be a unique case.
Among the contestants, he is the only one who still has human blood, so he is considered a demigod. In his legends, he is often depicted as a handsome young man who can transform into a bloodthirsty demonic monster.
Just like Ra, Cu Chulainn also ranks on the Outer Gods list as the uncontrollable one.
3. Morrigan
Morrigan, the strongest goddess in Ireland (Doc. Comic Zenon / Record of Ragnarok: The Apocalypse of the Gods)Who would have thought that there would be a woman on the list of participants in this tournament.
Well, Morrigan is on the list this time. She herself was shown to be furious to the point of having to be stopped by Wukong because she was not careful in seeing the number of participants in the Ragnarok tournament from the gods’ camp.
Morrigan herself was given the title of the strongest goddess from Irish mythology.
4. Ahura Madza
Ahura Madza, representative of Persia (Doc. Comic Zenon / Record of Ragnarok: The Apocalypse of the Gods)This god is known to have appeared during a protest because his name did not appear on the list of god representatives in the Ragnarok tournament.

However, if you are really angry, both sides will show the same expression.
5. Sun Wukong
Sun Wukong in the manga version (Doc. Comic Zenon / Record of Ragnarok: The Apocalypse of the Gods)Who would have thought that one of the characters from the story of the journey to the west would also be included in the story.
Unlike the mythological version, Sun Wukong in this version is depicted as a calm and meticulous figure. He immediately realized that there was something missing from the list of Ragnarok tournament participants when everyone was angry.
His strength is also not to be underestimated considering that the man fearlessly stopped Morrigan who is known as the strongest goddess.
6. Indra
Indra anime version (Doc. Netflix / Record of Ragnarok)The existence of this figure seems to be a clue to the strangeness of the Apocalypse tournament.
Well, Indra is one of the gods from the Indian mainland who is known to have appeared while watching the Raiden vs Shiva fight. He also congratulated the god on his victory.
However, the question is why Indra didn’t come forward and was just a spectator during Ragnarok.
7. Prometheus
In the manga version, this figure only appears as a name that will fight against Sun Wukong.
If traced from mythological stories, he was one of the Titans who served humanity by stealing Zeus’ fire and giving it to humans.
As punishment, the Titan was tied up and tortured by an eagle that would eat his organs every day. His suffering itself would never end because Prometheus’ body continued to regenerate.
8. Zhuque
Remember the myth of the four cardinal animals from China? Well, this Zhuque is a symbol of the vermillion bird that represents the element of fire and the direction south.
It is still unclear why this mystical beast is included in the category of gods in the spin-off story. Record of Ragnarok this latest.
He himself is known to be fighting Indra in the Apocalypse tournament.

One of the gods from the plains of China will be Morrigan’s opponent.
According to mythology, Nezha is a teenage god who wields a fire-tipped spear and rides a fire wheel. He himself is recognized by distinctive accessories such as the bracelets he holds on his hands and a sash.
The story of his birth itself is unique because he was born in the form of a lump of flesh after his mother was pregnant for three years and six months.
10. Muramasa
From the name, we can guess that Muramasa comes from Japan, just like Susano’o and Bishamonten.
However, there is no reference to Muramasa as a god because in the real world story, the name Muramasa is better known as a cursed sword that will make its holder go crazy and out of control.
He himself will be Ahura Madza’s opponent.
11. King Enma
In various versions of mythology, King Enma is known as the ruler and judge of hell who judges every soul that has died.
He himself was accompanied by two figures with the heads of a bull and a horse in each of his trials.
In the Apocalypse tournament, he will fight Death.
12. Belial

The name itself often appears as a personification of the devil.
He himself will later fight Leviathan.

Of the many contestants, this name is a bit confusing because it directly uses the final aspect of a living creature’s life.
Death is one of the fighters who will be involved. His enemy is King Enma.
Interestingly, is Death the personification of death, the soul-taker or the name of one of the four horsemen?
14. Leviathan

Well, this figure is depicted as a fiery giant from Muspelheim who is prophesied to burn Yggdrasil and the other worlds, leaving only a small part of the world left after the Ragnarok apocalypse ends.
16. Hydra
This name is also quite surprising to be included in the Apocalypse tournament. There is a reason why this Hydra is a unique case in the manga story.
In his own version of mythology, he is a snake with several heads that should have died long ago after being conquered by Hercules during his journey to complete his 13 labors.
He himself will fight Surt, who could potentially be a natural enemy because Hydra was said to have lost after Hercules used fire to fight it.
