Minos Prime is a boss in ULTRAKILL. He appears in the secret mission P-1: SOUL SURVIVOR and is the prime soul of King Minos.

King Minos was the former king of the Lust layer, as well as the former Judge of Hell. He was killed by Gabriel for attempting to reform the Lust layer of Hell. His body was left to rot, and was taken over by parasites. Minos' will to stand up against Heaven was so great that the angels imprisoned his soul in the Flesh Prison in order to stop it from becoming a prime soul; a soul with so much power that it is able to manifest without a physical body. Gabriel was appointed as the new Judge of Hell after he struck down Minos.

He was eventually released by V1 after they destroyed the Flesh Prison, but was killed by V1 shortly after his soul was freed.

Terminal Data:

TYPE: PRIME SOUL

Data:

A prime soul is an incredibly rare occurrence in which a soul amasses so much power that it no longer requires a Husk as a vessel to manifest physically.

As manifestations of pure will, prime souls are incredibly powerful, to the point that even the prideful angels see them as a threat and will use any means necessary to stop them from forming.

King Minos felt that eternal suffering was an unfair and unreasonable punishment for those whose only sin was loving another. After the Disappearance of God, as angels were lost and Heaven was in chaos, Minos began his efforts to reform the Lust layer.

The Lust renaissance was prosperous, as King Minos guided its inhabitants to come together and build a new civilization. The combined efforts of the countless who had been damned to the second layer bore great results as the grand city of Lust grew and grew.

However, after the Council took control of Heaven and brought stability to it through their iron fist rule, they saw that Minos had gone against God's will by freeing sinners from the punishment that God had designed for them.

Gabriel, the brightest of the angels, was sent to kill Minos. The king, rather than fight back, tried to reason with him, but Gabriel mercilessly struck him down without listening.

As Minos' will was strong enough to attempt to stand up to Heaven's rule, the angels chose to imprison his soul in an attempt to stop it from forming into a prime soul and appointed Gabriel as the new Judge of Hell.

From the prison inside his own body, Minos helplessly watched as his soulless corpse, now controlled by parasites, tore apart everything he had worked so hard to build, cursing his own weakness for failing to protect his people, vowing to take revenge...
