Hundun is one of the Four Perils of Grandis and the former power source of Odium.

Story

The Ancient War

Hundun was created during the war against the Ancient Gods by Kaling, a researcher and a defective Vessel from Odium. He, along with Qiongqi, Taowu, and Taotie, were mechanical robots given sentience and sent to Grandis in order to devour lesser fiends, as Kaling hoped to augment their strength and combine them in order to create an ultimate weapon. The four of them soon became known as the Four Perils as they began terrorizing all of Grandis. Before Kaling could finish her experiment, however, the Adversaries won the war against the Ancient Gods. At the end of the war, the researchers of Odium realized that they could no longer turn a blind eye to Kaling's madness, and so they sent another defective Vessel named Tai Yu in order to stop her. Tai Yu successfully sealed away Kaling in a place that the researchers could not reach, and in a way that left no trace. He also sealed most of the Four Perils, though the elders took Hundun, the strongest of the four, and fused him with the World Heart before imprisoning him in the laboratory, where he served as the power source for the floating citadel.

Invasion of Odium

Eons later, Kaling and the Angler Company launched a joint invasion of Odium in order to access the power source. Kaling infiltrated the laboratory, where she was furious to see that the elders had not only turned Hundun into the power source, but they had also forcibly fused him with the World Heart. Just then, Laha Angler arrived and began fighting with her over Hundun. During their fight, the Adversary, Tai Yu, and the Glory Guard arrived and discovered Hundun imprisoned. Tai Yu noted that that though the elders had their weak points, they also had their own sense of duty and morality. As they had known that their experiments had done harm to people, they had wanted to make things right and atone for their sins after the Ancient Gods had fallen dormant. However, he noted that the elders had perhaps decided that they hadn't been at fault for the Four Perils. However, the aghast Adversary pointed out that even if the elders hadn't been responsible for Hundun, they had still used a sentient being to power their laboratory. Just then, Hundun spoke from his prison and echoed the Adversary calling him sentient, asking if that was really the first descriptor that came to mind.

As Laha and Kaling continued battling, Hundun projected a hologram of himself and created a bubble around the Glory Guard so that they could speak privately. He laughed and told the Adversary not to mind Kaling and Laha, whom he called fools, explaining that it was them whom he wanted to speak with, as he had been waiting quite some time for them to arrive. Hundun explained that with the stairs down, his power hadn't been able to reach the residential district, but once they had set foot inside the laboratory, they had been in his domain. He recognized the Adversary as not only a Vessel, but one that had been completed once before. He explained that even in his current state, he had been able to see many of the things that had been happening in the world below. Hundun then asked the Adversary how they were still intact, pointing out that completed Vessels traditionally had a much different destiny. The surprised Adversary asked what destiny he was referring to, to which Hundun began scanning them in order to find the answer himself. Upon finishing, Hundun was shocked to find that they were an Adversary who had gotten off the path while maintaining their ego, causing him to wonder whether that was even possible.

Oz noted that Hundun seemed to know quite a lot, to which Brighton asked Tai Yu whether he had anything to say about it. Tai Yu explained that as Hundun had been conscious and powering Odium since the end of the Ancient Gods' time, he had likely assimilated all the knowledge left in Odium, adding that he might even know secrets that only the elders knew. Hundun noted that such knowledge was poor compensation for his lifetime of so-called service to them, adding that though he had cursed his lot for many years, if meeting the Adversary had been part of that lot, then it might have been worth it. He then told the Adversary to come closer before telling them that he would give them what Kaling and Laha had come for. He then presented the World Heart, which he explained was the last Godsphere of Odium. He noted that it was also what the Adversary had been after - the power to go against the gods - adding that there was no other reason for a Vessel to come to the laboratory. He explained that though its power had degraded over time, it still had the same spark, and that the elders had treasured it greatly. He then revealed that the World Heart was what had kept his power cycling through Odium, and that it was what was keeping him alive, which meant that he would die after the Adversary accepted it.

The Adversary asked him why he would willingly give it away, to which Hundun explained that he had been imprisoned for eons, and that retaining his ego had caused him to suffer even more. He added that Kaling's return posed a threat to the world and to himself, and so his sentience had given him a choice to decide what purpose he would give his life to, which he had decided would be to make trouble for Kaling. Upon seeing the Adversary's hesitation, Hundun reminded them that they needed the power of the Godsphere to save the world. The Adversary realized that he was right, and so they accepted the World Heart from Hundun, who laughed that they had made a wise decision, adding it was just like a Vessel who had strayed from the path to make that choice. He then reminded them that the Godsphere was well-worn, and that it would take a highly specialized expert to restore it. Hundun's barrier then shattered as he noted to himself that he had done all that he could. He then thought to himself that even if his body fell into Kaling's hands, he would do no more harm, as his body was merely ordinary matter without the World Heart. He then wondered what the elders would think of the Adversary, adding that his only regret was that he wouldn't be able to see their faces, as he believed that the Adversary would be able to upend the old order in a way that he never could, which he considered to be a pleasant thought for the end of his long life.

Resurrection

Following the invasion of Odium, Kaling met with Gerand Darmoor and explained everything that had happened at the laboratory. Darmoor summarized her report and noted that the Godsphere had fallen in the hands of the incomplete Adversary, and that all that was left was the empty shell of a Peril. He added that with the Godsphere missing and the Peril incomplete, it didn't seem possible to complete a Vessel. He explained that if it were simply a matter of power, there would be no issue, as it wasn't difficult to address that deficiency. However, he told Kaling that if the Godsphere was missing, then she would fail no matter what she did. He noted that Kaling had reported that the Adversary was headed for Shangri-La, adding that it was quite convenient, as he had a debt the repay the elders for. He told Kaling that as she had a long history with the elders, he would give her a chance to settle her grudge with them. He added that she wouldn't need to worry about getting into Shangri-La, as the barriers around it would open from the inside. He then turned to Hundun's corpse, which Kaling had brought from Odium, and noted that as Hundun hadn't been born with life, there would be no rest for him in his end, which he added was quite pitiful. Darmoor then used his powers to resurrect Hundun for Kaling, though this resurrected Hundun was merely a shell of his true self, existing as a mindless beast without an ego.

Soon after, Kaling was able to break through Shangri-La with the help of several elders who had sided with Darmoor. Kaling then unleashed Hundun in Shangri-La's Autumn, where he confronted the Adversary and their allies. A shocked Oz wondered how Hundun could be alive, as he was no longer fused with the World Heart. Brighton replied that Hundun wasn't really alive, pointing out that the Hundun standing before them wasn't the same one that they had met in Odium. Though the Adversary successfully defeated Hundun, Kaling nevertheless fused with him, Qiongqi, and Taowu in order to face the Adversary. After the Adversary defeated her, the World Heart that they possessed reacted to the Transcendent powers that Darmoor had given Kaling, causing it to absorb all of her energy, including that of the Perils, leading to their deaths.
