The Olympian deities are still missing, which causes Greece severe problems. Hercules finds an Other Universe portal and jumps in – figuring that the deities fled there to escape Dahak. In Netherworld, Hercules finds a surprising sight – a very much alive Iolaus 2, who blames him for his recent troubles. Nonetheless, Hercules needs his help and takes him to Strange Universe's Earth, which is now ruled by Nebula 2. On top of that, she has teamed up with Ares. Masquerading as the Sovereign, Hercules tries to find out where the deities are and free them before both Earths are destroyed.
