HE fights a constantly evolving Immortal Hercules, nearly kills him a couple times, beats on him for a bit too. He is able to shatter the nuclear bonds within someone's entire body of atoms, though again doesn't work here. No doubt Herc was evolving to Neptune/Pluto and even Zeus levels here. He even evolved beyond godhood, but he and the HE took each other out.
States that he doesn't give a shit if Hercules is a God.
Both The High Evolutionary and Hercules evolved into cosmic entities.
