The City of Souls is a godly structure found in the events of Kid Icarus: Uprising. It consists of shiny diamond-like shards and, of course, souls. Created by the Underworld Army, in this city, the souls of dead soldiers and warriors end up here to be given an afterlife in the Underworld.
Purpose
The City of Souls, as its name implies, consists of all the human souls. Here, they are given "peace" after death where Hades takes care of them. Because of his greed, the god of the Underworld was misusing the great number of souls he was receiving due to the war. He was creating more Underworld troops with them; a crafty tactic meaning his army can never lose. This here was the explanation for the continuous supply of troops after the Mirror of Truth was destroyed. The only problem the deity had was that a large number of souls were needed to create one monster- but he dismissed this flaw as irrelevant, as he could easily get more souls than he needed. The remaining souls Hades didn't use were given an afterlife, but since there was still a great demand for this, only the strongest ones received this now rare honor. The remaining were fed to the ever-hungry Soul-Eating Monster or eaten by Hades himself. Hades called this last process "survival of the fittest", a process which was also approved by Viridi, saying that this was the natural cycle of life.
