After their release the six younger gods, along with allies they managed to gather.  They challenged the elder gods for power in the Titanomachy, a divine war. Zeus Poseidon and Hades received weapons from the three Cyclopes to help them in the war.

Hades put on his helmet and being invisible had went over to the titans’ camp and destroyed their weapons. The war lasted for ten years and ended with the victory of the younger gods.
