Gigantomachia

Gigant was sent along with 16 other Spectre's to Athena's Sanctuary, by the order of Wyvern Rhadamanthys. Their mission was first to keep tabs on the revived Gold Saints Gemini Saga, Capricorn Shura, Aries Shion, Aquarius Camus, Cancer Deathmask and Pisces Aphrodite. If the Saints was not to complete their mission of taking Athena's head, they were to do it themselves. So he led the Spectre's into Athena's Sanctuary, hidden amongst the shadows. It wasn't until Saga, Shura and Camus disappeared that they revealed themselves. Aries Mu was running after the revived Saints, and in favor to the Spectre's could be useful. The Spectre Papillon Myu paralyzed the Saint, and thus Gigant and his Spectre's made an entrance. He asked if the Saint knew were Saga, Shura and Camus had disappeared to, but Mu just mocked them. He then tried beating it out of him to no avail, so as Gigant became more furious with the Saint he then decided to kill him since he gave no information. But he was stopped by Papillon Myu, who himself wanted to fight the Saint. Gigant let him do so and proceeded with the others to the Leo temple.

Gigantomachia II

As the group of Spectre's arrived at the leo temple, the found that Leo Aiolia was already waiting for them. Gigant asked yet again if the revived Gold Saints had passed through the Leo temple, Aiolia scoffed them that he would never let an enemy pass. He then suggested that they must have teleported, but Aiolia remarked that it was impossible to teleport from one temple to another. Gigant then said that they would follow the revived Gold Saint's until the completed their task. Five of the Spectre's then charged towards the Saint, who himself unleashed one of his techniques on them which shattered their Surplice's and killed them instantly. The Cyclops Spectre could not believe what he had seen, and tried to come up with a strategy. Suddenly Worm Raimi appeared and told them he would deal with Aiolia, which the others obeyed and charged towards the temple. Raimi managed to ensnare Aiolia with the Surplice tentacles, and ordered the others to continue and not mess with him and his prey. And thus they proceeded to the Temple of Virgo.

Gigantomachia III

When they started approaching the Temple of Virgo they felt it was odd, because they could not sense a cosmo from it. The Madness Star Spectre then suggested that they could care less if the Gold Saint wasn't there or not, so they could go through it immediately. But Giganto interrupted him saying that there was an intruder amongst them, the other Spectre's couldn't believe what they heard. Cyclops turned to Dullahan Cube, and asked him to remove his helmet. But as the Spectre was about to do so, they suddenly felt the enormous cosmo of Virgo Shaka revealing itself. There was a Gold Saint in the temple after all, but Shaka immediately said that since they had seen his face the Spectre's now had to die. Furious with the insult, Gigant and the other Spectre's launched an attack at the Saint. Shaka easily protected himself to the amazement of the Spectre's, he then proceeded into using a technique. As the Spectre's were caught in the illusion of the technique, Shaka revealed that 11 Spectre's had already died. Gigant didn't know how that many had died already, but were interrupted when Shaka finished the technique. But to everyone's surprise it was stopped by Dullahan Cube, who then charged towards Shaka along with Gorgon Ox and Elf Mills. The three Spectre's were all different then Gigant knew them to be, including their techniques. Yet Shaka reflected most of their attacks, stating that he obviously couldn't take the strength of them all three. The Spectre's then realised that those three were the missing revived Gold Saints Saga, Shura and Camus. Which was revealed when Shaka obliterated their Surplices's. Gigant immediately asked why they were wearing Cube and the other's surplices and accused them of betraying Hades, yet Saga simply unleashed some of his cosmo which paralyzed the Spectre. Saga said that they were no match for Shaka and to let them handle him, and threw the Spectre away with his cosmo. After some conversation amongst the Saints, Saga, Camus and Shura were let to pass the temple. The Spectre's felt a little joyfull since a Gold Saint had been convince so easily and determined he was not worth wasting time with. But as they were to pass Shaka, he asked if they had already forgotten what Saga said. Gigant and the Spectre's didn't understand what he was saying and decided they could at least kill him. Shaka then used his superior attack technique and easily killed the Spectre's. As Gigant took his last breath, Shaka asked if he was afraid of dying. The Cyclops Spectre remarked that those who swear loyalty to Hades receives eternal life even after death. Shaka replied by saying that during his conversations with God since his childhood, he had never heard of a man who had received eternal life. Gigant was stunned, had Hades tricked them? he thought as he died.
