The two goddesses immediately felt that Hades was playing a trick on them, considering that the River Styx was no less poisonous than poison to the dead.
There's no need to resort to such a shabby lie to appease them if you don't want to hand over the people.
The atmosphere on the field became tense and confrontational.
It seems we're destined for a fight.
The two goddesses possessed terrifying divine powers of different colors rising from their bodies.
Hades's perpetually icy face gradually grew serious, but he showed no fear whatsoever.
He is the king of the underworld; this is his domain.
Even Apollo, the god of light, was defeated and killed here, and even his son was half-imprisoned here and could not say anything.
They're just two women. No matter how powerful they are on the surface, fighting the Lord of the Underworld in the Underworld is undoubtedly a foolish choice.
Hades can be resurrected indefinitely here by relying on the aura of the underworld.
Even if he is killed, during his resurrection, the underworld will be driven by his will. Except for the abyss, which is not under his jurisdiction, no one can take any soul from here unless he agrees.
All souls that arrive in the underworld are marked by the laws of the underworld.
Unless the original mark is overwritten or cleansed using an equal or even higher law, Griffiths and his group cannot take it away.
at the same time--
Meanwhile, Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, also heard from her maids that the two goddesses were confronting Lord Hades, and the two sides were about to fight.
Persephone: '...Has that hero's soul reached the underworld?'
She had no idea that this was a surprise or gift Hades had prepared for her.
At this moment, Persephone, one of the few wise queens in mythology, subconsciously thought that perhaps she could find that hero and send him away, so as to send the goddesses away as well.
The underworld has been peaceful for a long time, and she wants to see that peace be broken.
She was also happy to send the hero she admired back to Earth; it was a win-win situation.
then--
The mistress of the underworld is prepared to take matters into her own hands.
She put on a cloak that could make her invisible, and then secretly left her palace alone.
Perhaps it's because I've been silent for too long, but occasionally a little bit of rebellious feeling will arise.
Persephone went to see the hero this time, intending to go alone and secretly check on him first.
She was very curious—what was so good about that hero who was praised by all the gods and coveted by many deities?
Even the Hercules of old couldn't have been this great.
However, Hercules seems to be slightly less attractive and charismatic to the gods.
In short, you might find the answer when you meet the person.
Where would the hero Griffith most likely go after leaving the River Styx?
Suddenly—Persephone had a flash of inspiration and had an answer.
Heroes are often drawn to the aura of monsters.
As if by fate or destiny, the hero is destined to vanquish the demon...
Just like the unchanging laws of celestial motion, it is inevitable that heroes will be drawn to powerful monsters at some point, a phenomenon that will inevitably occur in the Greek world.
In the underworld, the most worthwhile trial to take is Cerperus, the three-headed dog of hell.
And at this time——
Just as Persephone had predicted.
As we traveled along the path of the Red Moon, we saw many phantoms along the way.
He recalled the many powerful enemies he had encountered in his life and the scenes of his battles with them.
In the underworld, the red moon reflects the fear in people's hearts, amplifying it infinitely. After being deterred by Cerberus, almost no soul dares to cause trouble in the underworld.
But when night came...
Faced with those illusory scenes and his defeated opponents, Ye felt no fear. Instead, he pondered how much effort he had wasted in the past battles, and how he could now smash their heads with a single, more efficient blow.
And it was during this constant internal mental exercise that Night finally arrived at the gates of the legendary Underworld, where he saw Cerberus sleeping at its entrance.
When the sleeping three-headed hound sensed the immense soul mass of the night, it was as if it were a sun that had strayed into the underworld, shining brightly.
It's like a super-sized light bulb suddenly entering a dark world.
Cerberus suddenly stood up, its fur standing on end, and its bright red vertical pupils glared fiercely at the night.
It let out a low growl, as if it had encountered a natural enemy, instinctively trying to drive away the enemy and protect itself from the gates of hell by roaring.
however--
The next moment, as if provoked and retaliating, an even more ferocious aura rose from Night's body.
Roar! Two terrifying dragon shadows, a red dragon and a black dragon, appeared behind him, while Ye's soul also transformed into a half-dragon, his body adorned with handsome and sinister half-scale armor.
With one side possessing a golden-red vertical pupil typical of dragons, and the other a normal eye, Ye looked at the little dog in front of him, then slowly reached out and beckoned it, signaling it to attack directly. He was preparing to soothe the dangerous creature's emotions, just like how the Great Pillar in the Naruto world patted the Nine-Tails' head.
Did they actually initiate the provocation?
very good--!!
Although monsters like Cerberus are not powerful enemies to him right now.
But its legendary status is quite high.
Since we've come all the way to the underworld, it would be a bit much not to just run the Cerberus dungeon once, so he reluctantly decided to deal with the vicious dog.
As one of the monsters that appeared in the Twelve Trials of Hercules, and the child of Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, he is the highest-level monster, completely corresponding to the level of the twelve Olympian gods. Although his strength is much weaker and he is not worthy of being called a big shot, he can be killed by the top human heroes in one fell swoop.
But it is full of achievements.
Meanwhile, Persephone arrived just in time.
Unlike the gods who witnessed Ye's magnificent beauty, and watched him soothe his wounds with a harp like a beautiful young man, single-handedly defeating enemy heroes, and singing his Noble Phantasm and reciting poetry, Ye was different.
The gods saw his beautiful side, the side of a handsome youth and a glorious hero.
But at this moment, what appeared before the Queen of the Underworld was a completely different scene.
But what also left a deep impression on Persephone at first glance was the sight of that 'hero' who had completely brought out the devilish charm to its extreme... 'hero'!
No, why would there be a hero who is more like a monster than a monster?
but--
Persephone, who ran away out of rebellion at this time, actually harbored a rebellious spirit within himself that he was unaware of.
While a normally radiant and shining hero is also attractive, it can only be appreciated to a certain extent, and is far from reaching the level of stimulating and impacting this woman's heart.
Because of the constant constraints, the more one suppresses their inner desires, the stronger the yearning to break free from the cage and rebel becomes.
Although he had always managed to restrain this desire very well...
But it did not disappear; instead, it hid in a deeper place.
It needs a key to unlock Pandora's box deep within its heart.
Humanity's most primal desires, of course, are met with the most primal violence!
Chapter 231 Just like Egypt and Mesopotamia, spring attracts the gods of the underworld…
The form of the evil dragon, a demonic aura befitting its status as the undisputed king among monsters.
At this moment, Night, exuding an oppressive aura as if he were the embodiment of despair, wore a half-dragon horn mask, making him even more demonic than Ichigo's Hollowfication from the neighboring Bleach world.
Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, covered her mouth: Is this really the legendary hero Griffith?
Her heart raced as she gazed at that alluring yet dangerous figure, as captivating as a cherry blossom. Adonis was bound to draw the power of the Queen of the Underworld's destiny—like a curse, it stirred in Persephone a feeling she had never experienced in all these years the moment she saw him.
Being with Hades was a pawn of her father Zeus; she was semi-forced into abduction.
Although she always kept to her duty as Queen of the Underworld, diligently managing the underworld and handling all matters properly was her responsibility as Queen of the Underworld, it was not out of love or attraction.
Persephone always regretted that she had never experienced love before stepping directly into the grave of marriage.
Although Hades treated her very well, he was her uncle. She had been a dutiful daughter since childhood, following her mother's instructions, and was actually quite reluctant to marry her uncle.
Even for someone as rebellious as her, it was too much of a shock and she couldn't accept it.
Therefore, she could only treat Hades with the utmost respect, and could not get any closer to him. Fortunately, Hades seemed to understand her difficulties. Since abducting her, he had never forced her to do anything, but treated her as a nominal husband and a good partner, managing the underworld together.
Perhaps out of guilt, Hades was actually the only one among the three god-kings who rarely had any contact with women.
Unlike Zeus and Poseidon, who are often mentioned in Alexandre Dumas's legends, Hades only ever had one wife, Hades.
If it weren't for Persephone's existence, the Greeks might even have suspected that Hades, the god of the underworld, was a philistine.
This is not an isolated incident or unique to Greece.
In Egyptian mythology, Hades, the god of the underworld, also fell in love with his younger brother Set. In one version of the myth, Osiris, the god of the underworld, took advantage of Set's inattention, got him drunk, and then assaulted him, which ultimately led to the desert god and the god of destruction turning evil.
Not only did he kill his brother Osiris, the ruler of the underworld, to avenge himself, but he also became a firm believer that might makes right.
Strength! Only strength will never betray you!
He single-handedly overthrew the Egyptian gods, deposed the pharaoh, and became king himself.
He even forced the gods to submit to him for hundreds of years.
Even the supreme god Ra was impressed by everything he had done. Osiris, feeling guilty, did not wish to be his enemy after his resurrection.
It's worth mentioning that Night is now not only Adonis, but also Set.
Aside from Set's identity, his status as a plant god would also attract the Queen of the Underworld in the Mesopotamian world, leading to a war with the Queen of Heaven.
That is, after the death of the plant god, Ishtar was forced by the gods to come and fetch her husband, but was made to make things difficult by Ereshkigal, who stripped off the legend hanging on the gate.
Although it was mostly due to the inherent discord between Ereshkigal and Ishtar that they tried to obstruct each other in every way.
However, in actual mythology, the existence of legends themselves possesses a certain power of destiny.
The allure of plant deities to the rulers of the underworld is self-evident.
Regardless of whether the current ruler of the underworld is male or female.
