I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 40 Sisyphus
The Book of the Dead was revised, which was a huge event for groups like Death God.

After Baloo and Sebastian reported the matter, the staff working in Hades began to pass it up layer by layer. No one dared to deal with this kind of matter.

In the end, the news was reported to the Great Reaper who had just woken up from his long sleep not long ago, that is, the original Reaper-Thanatos.

Thanatos and his younger brother didn't have a very high status in Greek mythology in the past. They were just two subordinate gods of Hades, and they didn't even have a decent palace.

After the Greek gods fell into eternal sleep, he took charge of the underworld and built a huge castle in Tartarus. Since it was built later, it is very similar to the architectural style of Britannia, it is a baroque Castle of the wind.

And in the oval office in the tower on the left side of the castle, Thanatos was sitting at the desk at the moment, frowning slightly looking at the two low-level gods of death kneeling on the ground in front of him.

It was a classic Greek image, with black hair and black pupils, three-dimensional facial features, especially the straight nose, which was a classic Greek nose.

He was wearing the same black robe as them, but with a pair of black wings behind him.

Sebastian and Baloo faced Thanatos in a five-body posture, trembling slightly, not daring to say a word.

It was the first time for both of them to see the real Grim Reaper.

The entire palace was silent, and Thangka, who had greeted Sebastian not long ago, was standing beside the Great Death God holding the document.

"What you said is true?" Thanatos asked solemnly, "The Book of the Dead has been changed?"

His voice was very steady, and he spoke an ancient Greek language, but everyone could understand it, whether they knew the language or not.

Baloo raised his head, "You can probe our memory, or...or we can bring that Hart back for interrogation."

Thanatos came back to his senses, and stroked his forehead with some headaches. He was silent for a moment, and waved his hands at the two little gods of death.

"I know about this, you all go back first."

Sebastian and Baru looked at each other, and everyone could see a little surprise in each other's eyes.

Before they came to the palace, they made two assumptions about the reaction of the Great Death God, or they just didn't believe what they said.

Or he ordered a thorough investigation of this matter in a rage. After all, although it is too rough to directly change the Book of the Dead, in a sense, this can be regarded as interfering with death.

This is a provocation to Hades.

But he never thought that the Great Reaper would have such a reaction.

As if believing them, but so calmly.

But this kind of thing is not something that little people like them can ask. From now on, this matter is not their business.

They got up obediently and retreated from the office.

"I finally understand what woke me up."

Thanatos turned his head and looked out of the window with deep eyes. It was a fiery red magma purgatory, in which countless evil spirits wailed, and everything he saw was scorched earth.

Thangka tilted his head in doubt, but did not speak.

The entire office was silent, and after a long time, Thanatos let out a breath of stale air.

He had actually encountered such a thing in the past.

In fact, it is not that He has left no legends in the world.

In "Homer's Epic", there is such a very famous story called "Sisyphus"

According to records, Sisyphus is the most resourceful and ingenious person in the world. He is the builder and king of Corinth.

When Zeus abducted Aegina, the daughter of the river god Aesopus, the river god went to Corinth to look for her daughter. Sisyphus, who knew about it, told him in exchange for a river that flowed all year round.

Zeus sent the god of death to take him to hell because he leaked the secret of Zeus.

Unexpectedly, Sisyphus kidnapped the god of death with tricks, and no one died in the world for a long time until the god of death was rescued, so Sisyphus was thrown into the underworld.

Before being cast into the underworld, Sisyphus asked his wife Merope not to bury his body.

After arriving in the underworld, Sisyphus told Persephone, the queen of the underworld, that a person who has not been buried is not qualified to stay in the underworld, and asked for three days' leave to return to the sun to deal with his funeral.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sisyphus saw the beautiful land, he refused to go back to the underworld.

After his death, Sisyphus was punished by pushing a stone up a hill.

He wants to push a big stone to the other side of the top of the mountain, but due to the weight of the stone, every time he pushes to the top of the mountain, the stone will roll down again, Sisyphus can only keep repeating.

This is a story that actually existed.

Unbeknownst to many, even some of the gods, Thanatos had once met a human being, an old man, before this event took place.

It was a mortal without aura of divinity. All the Greek gods at that time looked down on mortals. To the gods, mortals were nothing but worms on the ground.

He did the same and offended the old man because of it.

He said that he wanted to give himself a punishment and let him realize the power of mortals.

At that time, He didn't care, even a little disdainful, until not long after, what happened to Sisyphus happened.

God kidnapped by mortals?

And it's the most terrifying god of death for mortals! ?
This is an extremely outrageous thing, whether it is heard by mortals or gods, and it just happened.

He became the laughing stock of the gods and an incompetent clown in the Greek pantheon.

Until now, this incident has been the greatest shame for Thanatos in his life.

That's why after he took control of the power of Hades, he chose to delete all records about this matter.

During those years imprisoned by that mortal, he also knew one thing.

In this world, there are indeed some terrifying powers that even the gods can't imagine.

He believed it, but the twelve main gods of Greece, including Zeus, didn't believe it, and even laughed at his incompetence all the time.

Then, they fell into eternal sleep.

And He became the ruler of Hades.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Send an order to inform all Death Gods including trainee Death Gods.

In the future, if you encounter something similar to the book of the dead being changed, don't report it again, and treat it as if nothing happened. "

Thangka bowed and replied without any doubts.

"Yes."

Then he left the office.

And Thanatos fell into deep thought again.

If it really was that existence, he wanted to hide it, and no one would notice his existence.

And now, it's obviously not his style of doing things.

Thanatos remembered the voice that woke him up from sleep before, and he seemed to realize something, and slowly got up from his seat.

Yes, it must be so.

This should be what he deliberately exposed to himself, what information does he have to convey to himself.

It seems that it is necessary for me to take a trip to the world
　It seems that I haven't rolled anyone else this week, and I haven't been recommended, but I'm in a good mood now, but I still ask for a follow-up, and all kinds of tickets, don't keep them before they are on the shelves.
