Warhammer: My Biological Father Emperor and My Demigod Brother

Anyway, after the world is destroyed, everyone will turn into a bunch of inorganic matter, so what's the point of distinguishing between high and low, noble and base?

Perhaps he was the Dark Lord who killed the potential birds, preventing humanity from being destroyed before entering the technological age!

He is truly great!

But he had to admit, those birds were really hard to eat. He never imagined that one day there would be things in this world that he couldn't stomach.

The three of them walked for almost an hour, but Aaron felt they were still going around in circles and hadn't found any entrance to the underground tunnel.

Even the groups of creatures that looked like bison or higher had passed by several times.

"Father, do you even know the way?"

Aaron was losing his patience. He had initially stopped Marum from pointing out the existence of the underground cavity to save face for the old man, in case he knew the way.

But now it seems that the old man doesn't remember how to get down there at all. If they let him lead the team again, the three of them will go hungry all day, and they might not even be able to find their way back.

Anda had some sweat on his head, whether from the strong sun or from some embarrassment, he didn't know.

"The road, the road is right under our feet."

Anda stammered, and Marum offered a timely reminder:

"Yes, sir, I sense it. We've arrived above a huge underground cavity."

He transformed back into his Space Marine form, slammed his fist into the ground, and a passage opened up.

"Sir, you are right."

Marum continued to try to save face for his master, mainly because he was worried that his master would become enraged and kill them.

Adachi crossed his arms in front of him and laughed loudly:

“Of course I’m right, Aaron. I’ve seen more of the world than you’ve ever known the salt. How can you not trust your father?”

Aaron thought to himself, "Yes, you've been on many roads, but a large proportion of them have been wrong."

You're simply using your long lifespan, which comes with immortality, to accumulate knowledge and experience.

Now is not the time to argue. After all, Aaron is keeping his promise and will use honorifics and show the old man enough respect during this period.

Let's get to work first, lest we go down and see the strange sight of Uncle Hades's corpse stuck in the gates of hell.

The underground cavities beneath Death Valley are all shaped by the natural environment, not man-made basements.

Therefore, it is not as spacious and clean as the underground space under the Temple of Athens; some places are even quite cramped, making it extremely difficult for even small animals to crawl through.

Marum carried Anda and jumped down from the edge before reaching out to catch Aaron.

The old man was too lazy to climb, and worried about falling to his death, so he found it more comfortable to lie on Marum's back.

They even claimed that this would help Marum withstand falling stones and dust.

Upon entering the underground cavity, a contradictory feeling of dryness and dampness overwhelmed me.

Even though there isn't much moisture, it still gives people a feeling of oppressive heat, which emanates from within the body.

However, there was no sweat on the skin, and each breath was filled with dry dust and a temperature higher than the ground, which assaulted the nasal mucosa.

If this underground space is not modified, it is not an environment in which intelligent civilization could be born. After all, the main direction of biological evolution may have sacrificed a lot of potential in adapting to such a harsh environment.

Of the three, Aaron and Anda couldn't help but cover their noses, while only Marum was able to breathe normally and was completely unaffected.

In fact, if the conditions are right, the Astarte can be used as a professional air purifier, and it is very suitable for staying in a newly renovated house for ten days to half a month to ensure that all the pollution is removed.

Gradually, Aaron heard the sound of water. As he walked further, the temperature finally dropped, and the natural light gradually disappeared. He finally entered the underground cave that people had stereotyped about.

"Father, are those sounds of water coming from the River Styx?"

Aaron remembered his father saying that the Greeks considered this place to be the River Styx, a route to the underworld.

Anda carefully sniffed the air. The smoke and heat had dissipated, and it even gave people a refreshing feeling, which was very pleasant.

"Yes, this is the right place. I knew I wouldn't lead you astray."

Aaron asked curiously, "Is it even more sensitive than a dog's nose?"

Anda sneered, "Watch your words, Aaron. I am your father. If you compare me to a dog, then what are you? A puppy?"

Aaron just thought that as long as his brothers weren't bad at directions, it would be fine; having a keen sense of smell like a dog should be a good thing, and he didn't mind.

The three of them began to move towards the water's location. The sounds of the rushing river on the ground gradually became clearer, and the intensity of the splashing water was just right—Aaron had a unique understanding of these sounds.

He was an expert in how to survive being thrown into rivers of varying intensity, and he was already quite adept at it even before he learned to swim.

Aaron listened carefully and judged:

"It's relatively safe. If a live person is thrown in and doesn't encounter any hidden reefs, they can climb ashore within three kilometers of a slow-moving area by following the outward-swinging current."

Of course, people who cannot swim or are not good at swimming should generally avoid going near natural bodies of water.

If you unfortunately fall into the water, try to avoid futile struggles that waste your energy. Stay calm, pay attention to changes in the river's current, observe your location, and then seek rescue.

Otherwise, if you can't calm down after the first wave of entry, and you run out of energy and have cramps, then you'll have to wait for the restart.

Therefore, the safest way is actually to stay away.

Anda was somewhat bewildered by his son's sudden, strange words.

"Where did you get all these principles from?"

Aaron gave Anda a sinister look but said nothing.

What do you think, Father?

Just as Aaron had said, as Marum fired the flare, the entire underground river was revealed, showing a relatively wide river with a moderate flow.

If the covering is removed, and natural weathering and transportation occur, it might create a suitable arable land over thousands of years.

"Father, which way should we go? I don't remember if the mythology about the River Styx says which side the underworld is on."

Aaron squatted down, stretching out his hand to feel the impact of the cold water, while asking the old man in the house.

Adachi was momentarily stumped by the question and began to ponder:

"Well, that—I forgot."

“In mythology, because Charon comes to receive you, people don’t need to describe which way the underworld flows.”

Anda still has time to explain why people didn't record this.

Aaron could only wonder why he would choose to ask his father for his opinion on these issues.

He might as well rely on himself.

"Marum, could you fly those devices that detect changes in pollution along both sides of the river? Once you detect an anomaly, we can determine the direction."

Marum knelt on one knee, scooped up a mouthful of dark river water, and swallowed it.

"It has a moderate amount of minerals, is free from pollution, and is suitable for drinking."

Two small drones were then released, each flying towards one end of the underground river.

When the time came for the results, Aaron set up a simple campsite on a relatively flat area nearby. It was just big enough for them to lean against, and not enough for anyone to lie down in a frivolous or unrefined manner.

"Father, have you ever seen the gates of hell? Is it disgusting or terrifying? I need to prepare myself mentally beforehand."

Aaron prepared for the upcoming contact, while Anda frowned, recalling:

"Although it is called the Gates of Hell, it is actually a demon that embodies a concept, representing the original fear of people about the endless monsters that emerged after the earth was torn apart and destroyed the land."

"A demon has taken over this concept, hence it is called the Gates of Hell. In fact, the risk is very low in this era. It will be dangerous in more than a thousand years when people's imagination of hell becomes more complete and they even design all sorts of bizarre demons."

Anda finally remembered some relevant knowledge, instead of just laughing it off and making things up.

They also bear some responsibility for this, because in mythology, Zeus initially placed the Titans' lair underground, which was problematic for Gaia, who was their primordial mother.

She would have to hear the painful cries of her descendants every day, and naturally she would spare no effort in promoting the liberation of the Titans.

This is the hell that Hades originally guarded.

So, who wrote this story in the first place, and how did they create such a demon?

This is really troublesome. In the future, when we meet other immortals, let's all think back together and see who made this mess.

Chapter 224 Hades the Foolish (3K)

Aaron covered his face, not wanting to speak, but his father kept babbling on and on.

He had to stop him:

“Father, if you keep talking like this and never say anything nice, none of your friends will care about you in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Adachi hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Nobody cares about me? Haven't you noticed that none of the others came to me on their own initiative? They've been on a completely different wavelength from me for a long time."

"If Apollo hadn't slipped away so quickly, I would have sent him tens of thousands of years into the future and chosen one of his sons to be his student. He's always wanted a good son, hasn't he?"

It seems the old man has been shameless for a long time. What can I do? Can I, as his son, abandon my father?

Anda seemed to have been acting inhuman for a long time, but now that things had turned around, she managed to muster a little humanity and took Aaron's arm:

"But don't worry, they will still come when something happens. Marum, tell me, if something happens to me in the future, will there be any immortals to help me?"

Marum was embarrassed; yes, there were two more.

Makado and Vokhan. An empire he built up from scratch, forcing them to risk their lives for him.

Another point is that it's only natural for a son to save his father.

"Aaron, the righteous will receive much help; the master will understand this principle."

Marum could only make up for it in this way.

Aaron was left feeling helpless and forced to curl up in Anda's shoulder.

Father, I'm just worried that when that moment comes, you'll be so helpless and desperate.

Hopefully, you can accumulate a lot of support.

An eerie silence fell over the area until Marum's probe returned.

The Imperial Guards took the aesthetic style of the time into account, and apart from the Imperial Eagle symbol, there were basically no skulls, biological wet parts, or similar items.

Otherwise, if the locals see this, they'll realize that the most corrupt and chaotic thing is themselves.
