Greek Mythology: Evolution from monitor lizards

Chapter 107 The Secret of Pluto, the Return of the Goddess of Beauty

"Is this the place of decisive battle created by the Empress of the Underworld..."

In the underworld, on the desolate and dark land, there are hazy mountains in the distance.

There is a palace here, which is black and translucent throughout.

Suddenly there was cheers and applause in the air, and bouquets of flowers and wine were flying.

Amid the intoxicating smell of wine and bright flowers, a portal appeared.

Naki jumped out of the portal.

She fell to the ground and looked around curiously.

She looked at the mysterious and magnificent palace in the distance, and saw that the ground was covered with neat and majestic black stone slabs.

"No wonder." Naiji smiled.

Naiji discovered dozens of days ago that she had lost her shadow.

Even under the strong light, she still has no shadow.

Not only is she like this, but her brothers and sisters are like this, and so are the beasts and creatures in the underworld.

All living beings lost their shadows.

"The great Queen of Hades..." Naiji suddenly remembered the shadow that would always hang on Persephone's pale face.

"Did you take away the shadows of all the creatures in the underworld, and use the shadows to create this huge place of decisive battle?"

Nai Ji looked around, the desolate land was covered with black stone slabs, and there was no end in sight.What a terrible amount of work.

"Master Hades, the king of the underworld, is said to be the top three combat power in the God Realm."

Naki thought to herself.

"But sometimes, I even doubt whether the great Queen of Hades is stronger than Hades?"

The portal in the air opened again, and a girl in gorgeous golden armor appeared from it, it was Biya.

In her arms was a goddess who was extremely old and fell into a deep sleep.

"How is our Godmother?" Naki asked.

"Very good. It should be reborn soon." Biya fell to the ground, and then she was taken aback.

"My shadow is here?!"

Bea looked into the distance and felt that there were a million floorboards made of her own shadow.

Nagi nodded, "Yes."

"This place is made of shadows. The shadows of all creatures in the underworld."

"The Land of Shadows. The final battleground."

……

The three judges of the underworld, the boatman of the Styx River and other gods also arrived here one after another.

At some point, this huge and boundless land of shadows was filled with countless creatures.

Funeral crows and mourning birds were flying in the air, dark elves and shadow giants were chatting eagerly, wilderness beasts and shadow worms were screaming one after another.

Bustling.

All living beings know that this is a grand event in the underworld, where two strong men will have a life-and-death duel, and the king of the underworld and the queen of the underworld will bestow the priesthood on the victor.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes stared at the center of the battlefield, looking forward to the start of the decisive battle.

All of a sudden, all the creatures raised their heads together and looked at the horizon.

Together they saw a noble and gorgeous goddess descending from the sky in black robes, her pale face was covered with the shadow of death, and her lips were as red as blood.

"You are the boundless night, the flower that blooms in the darkness, the master of thousands of undead. Beautiful and powerful, mysterious and majestic Persephone, queen of the underworld!"

"May your existence be as eternal as death, and may all the shadows in the world be under your control. Immortal Empress! Immortal Empress! Immortal Empress!"

Including the birds in the air, the worms on the ground, and thousands of creatures, they bowed together and saluted Persephone.

The voice of praise in the mouth resounded through the sky, as if the earth was shaking.

"Great queen of the underworld... No wonder everything in this underworld is controlled by you."

Naiji also bowed down and saluted.She looked up at Persephone in the air, and her heart was inexplicably boiling.

She saw ten thousand chains rising from Persephone's back, and those chains were tightly wound around a black throne on which Hades sat.

Persephone fell to the ground lightly, as silently as night falls.

The dark throne also lightly fell to the ground.

In an instant, everything was quiet, and all the living beings remained silent, waiting for the divine voice of the Queen of the Underworld.

She looked at all living beings with a smile, and said:
"My people, get up. I accept your praise from the bottom of my heart. I am the Empress of the Underworld, so I naturally deserve your worship."

"However, don't forget that only the souls of the dead are under my control and enjoy eternal rest. Although you surrender to me, you are still alive, and your souls still belong to you."

"The night has its beauty, and death has its mercy. I am in charge of everything in the underworld, but I disdain to control everything. The dead enjoy peace, and the living have their freedom. This is the most basic right I give you."

"Tonight, we will hold a competitive battle to celebrate the mutual interdependence of darkness and life. The living cannot escape the embrace of death, and the dead cannot escape the fetters of life. All living beings, enjoy this competition in the embrace of the night!"

"Queen of the Underworld..." Nai Ji stared at Persephone in the distance, and her heart was touched.Her heart seemed to be touched by Persephone.

"The Empress of the Underworld...I'm sorry...I want to escape from here."

"I feel that a huge disaster is about to break out in the underworld, and the fear of death has been tormenting me. Otherwise, I would like to serve you loyally."

"However, is Lord Hades still motionless?"

"This time too, it was brought by the Empress herself."

Naiji thought to herself, "How long has Hades been sitting on that throne?"

Suddenly, a chubby hand stretched out from the side, and Naiji turned her head. It was her mother, Styx, who had completed her rebirth and was struggling to jump out of Bea's arms.

"Mother." Naiji hugged the fat baby girl and smelled the strong milk fragrance from her body. "What's wrong?"

"Hee..." Styx's breath came into Naiji's mind.

"It is said that Lord Hades can't even eat the dew. He won't even lift his lips."

"That is, the Queen of the Underworld... After all the gods left, in the dark hall, she raised a silver spoon, filled it with divine dew, and fed it to Hades."

"..."

A picture emerged in Nai Ji's mind, the noble and gorgeous queen of the underworld, half kneeling on the ground, only her red lips and silver spoon shining in the darkness, put the dew into Hades' mouth.

"The king's wife... the king's queen, what a glorious status." Styx smiled, "Our Queen of the Underworld is perfect from appearance to strength. She is the highest point in the underworld, but she also has pain."

"Her husband, the great Lord Pluto, is a half-dead god."

"What happened to Lord Pluto?" Naiji asked, "It is indeed a blow to fail to compete with the God King for the highest authority. But how could Lord Hades be so vulnerable?"

For some reason, Naiji suddenly felt sympathetic, and even felt sorry for Persephone.Although Persephone is many times stronger than her.

"My child... You are asking one of the most secretive things about Olympus, just like asking whether the curse of the Titan will continue, and which child of Zeus will assassinate him and become the new king of gods."

"Mother, can you tell me?" Nai Ji's heart moved.

Styx is constantly cycled between birth and death, and her personality changes as well.In infancy and teenage years, more innocence.

If mother would tell her, it could only be at this time.

"My child...you just want to be like Biya." The baby smiled and pinched Naiji's face, "I don't know anything, and I don't want to know. You are too smart."

Nai Ji turned her head to look, Biya had caught many ghost worms from the wilderness at some point, and she was biting off the heads of the worms with her teeth, sucking out their intestines and swallowing them.

Eating well, he didn't notice the conversation between Neji and Styx at all.

"Mother, please tell me!"

"He found the river of fate. He challenged fate."

"!!" Naiji's pupils trembled.

"Shh...don't ask any more questions." Styx blinked, "Fortunately, my precious child, you don't have to challenge your fate, just accept your fate."

"I vaguely predicted your fate. You will be with a powerful and beautiful goddess. Her face is no less than Aphrodite, and her strength is no less than Persephone. She has not yet been born. , but it will eventually be born, soon, soon, hee..."

After saying this, Styx seemed a little tired, and she slowly closed her eyes.

"Challenge fate... Pluto fell into a long silence because he challenged fate..." Naiji gritted her teeth and hugged Styx tightly.

"I also have my destiny, and I have to accept my destiny...or, challenge it beyond my control..."

"Pluto challenged fate, and then, he couldn't even lift his lips..."

Naiji's face was a little pale, and her body was shaking. She knew the power of fate, and she always felt that it made her feel suffocated and everything was under control.

In the face of fate, he is just an insignificant bug.

Kacha—hiss——

Biya bit off the head of a ghost bug about half a meter long and sucked its green, slimy intestines into its mouth.

The moment of decisive battle is coming soon.

At this moment, Persephone suddenly opened her eyes.

She raised her head and gazed into the sky.

She said softly: "My husband, my great king."

"An envoy from the God Realm is here."

She waits a moment.

"As usual, if you don't answer, I will receive this distinguished envoy."

Then the dark sky of the underworld was dyed red with rose colors.

In the sky, 33 grand scenes appeared in an instant:
First, a hundred thousand thunderbolts shine in the dark night sky, highlighting the beauty of violence.

Second, tens of thousands of roses bloom from the earth, showing the beauty of flowers.

Third, the breeze blows on the grassland, showing the beauty of gentleness.

Fourth, the emerald green of opal, the brilliance of diamonds, thousands of gemstones rain down from the sky, highlighting the beauty of colors.

Fifth, the aurora all over the sky flickers and flows in the sky, colorful, showing the mysterious beauty.

Sixth, white doves soar in the sky in groups, spreading their wings and flying high, showing the beauty of freedom.

……

33, the figure of a graceful woman.

Just the figure made Persephone's heart tighten.

Tens of thousands of creatures in the underworld burst into exclamations, and the sound shook the sky.

Because of that figure, showing the beauty of a woman.

The rose red in the sky condensed into a Hongqiao, and the figure condensed into a solid body, stepping down the Hongqiao.

The messenger of the gods, Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty.

"ah--!!!"

Suddenly, countless screams erupted from among the creatures, all of them were female creatures, they all covered their faces with their hands, and they refused to take it off again.Because they saw Aphrodite's face, it made them envious at first, then jealous and angry, and finally their hearts were broken, feeling that they were extremely ugly, and they would never let other creatures see them again.

"ah--!!!"

Suddenly, countless screams erupted from the creatures. This time, they were all male creatures. They were killing each other, and the smell of blood rose to the sky. Because they saw Aphrodite's face, they felt that all the male creatures They will all be rivals, overwhelmed by love, driving them out of their minds.

"Messenger of Olympus, the noble god of love and beauty, please restrain your divine power."

"Let those poor female creatures not have to cover their faces all day long."

"A goddess whose face is perfect and beyond perfection, please restrain your divine power."

"Let those poor male creatures not kill each other, just to get your gaze."

Persephone's divine voice was like poetry, she spoke softly, as if singing to Aphrodite.

"it is good."

Aphrodite smiled, and the rose red around her lightened a little.
