Neron is thus trapped in the tower with Faust, seemingly for all eternity. The binding does "not" last long, however; through some unknown method, Neron soon finds a way to escape from the tower(again, how this is done is never explained, seen or shown) and makes a deal with Kid Devil, granting him the superpowers that he has always dreamed of by turning him into Red Devil in exchange for his soul when he reaches 20 years of age "if" his trust in his idol, Blue Devil, is broken. He then reveals that Blue Devil was responsible for the death of Red Devil's aunt, filmmaker Marla Bloom, and had hidden the truth from him. When Red Devil confronts Blue Devil, he finds out that everything that Neron had said was the truth and he becomes estranged from Blue Devil for a time, believing, at that moment, that his soul now belongs to Neron. Neron is next opposed by the demon siblings Blaze and Satanus, the rulers of Purgatory, who attempt to take control of Hell while he is imprisoned in the Tower of Nabu. The hordes of Purgatory invade Hell under their command and influence Hell's demons against Neron by offering " "hope to the hopeless" " and redemption for the damned, which had never happened before. To defeat the legions of the damned, Neron has Lilith the Mother of Monsters recall all of her monstrous children to Hell to fight on his side. Despite all of this and "just" when Neron seems to be victorious, he is killed by Satanus, who had used the war as a cover in order to infect Hell with a modified airborne viral variation of DMN, a magical drug that normally changes humans into monsters but, in this variation, changes demons into soulless humans when combined with the speaking of the magic word " "Shazam" ". For Neron, the drug turns "him" into a soulless human as well and causes all of the demonic entities that he had consumed over the millennia to be cast out of him. No longer a match for Satanus, he is beheaded by his former enemy, after which Satanus claims the throne of Hell for himself. It all turns out to be for nothing, however, because Blaze, Satanus' sister, soon usurps her brother's position and claims the throne for "herself", thus winning the war. However, this miniseries is known to have many internal continuity errors that make its place in mainstream DC Universe canon questionable at best.
