* Prometheus Prime: A third Greek mythological figure, Prometheus had betrayed the gods by stealing their fire and giving it to humanity. Maybe the "fire" in the context of ''ULTRAKILL'' could be something that would've won Sisyphus' war against Heaven, although whatever it was (intelligence on Heaven's weaknesses, a divine superweapon, or something else entirely) has likely been rendered necessary with Gabriel killing the Council.

* Seemingly '''Confirmed''', the levels of Violence (particularly 7-1 and 7-2) are a lot larger and have significantly more lenient Time requirements for a perfect rank.

* Both of the above are '''Jossed', the secret level is in fact the opposite of such a thing - you have to clean up the bloodstains and gibs you've left behind.

These actually represent [[spoiler:V1's relationship with Hell. P ranking, committing to challenges that amuse hell, and collecting souls all fit within the MO of Hell wanting entertainment. This is also the flashy stuff that gets featured on the UI. The Secret Levels, by contrast, represent a rebellion against V1's stated purpose of being a nihilistic death machine. We see V1 partake in puzzles, demonstrating genuine learning beyond committing bloodshed. We see them comfort another machine, showing genuine compassion and empathy for someone else in an existential crisis and portraying a viewpoint completely counter to Hell's thoughts. Then they get a goal beyond killing, collecting boxes and get geniunely excited about accomplishing it by doing a playful dance. We then see V1 participate in fishing, a leisurely activity that demonstrates lateral thinking and patience. V1 isn't here just to do Hell's bidding, leaving it a barren wasteland with no final point like it seems to want there to be, they're going to be to Hell what Mankind was to God: an agent of free will that ultimately gets their creator killed through their own actions. But where humanity did so by demonstrating their capacity for evil and ability to rebel against God, V1 will kill Hell through their capacity for good and ability to rebel against it by putting the damned souls to rest to free them from their eternal torment, causing the overthrowing of Heaven's dictatorship, and leading their fellow machines even if they only follow them inadvertently to ensure the deed is done.]]

[[WMG: V1 was sent to hell to clear it out by the last humans before they died.]]
Humans knew they were dammed, so they sent V1 to clear out hell and stop their eternal suffering when the machines almost wiped them out.
