Greek Mythology: Evolution from monitor lizards

Chapter 87
In the center of the underworld stands a huge palace.

In the palace, the dark throne, where the king sits.

His whole body was covered in shadows, only a pair of eyes were still shining, and thousands of souls entangled him.

He holds a bird-head double-sided stick.

Next to his throne was a smaller, but more ornate one.

On the throne sits a beautiful and elegant goddess.

Above the main hall, there is no light, but there is still a shadow on the face of the goddess, which represents death.

She holds the key to the gate of the underworld in her left hand, and a bright red peony flower in her right hand.

The goddess turned her head and said softly to the king, "My king, all the gods have arrived."

"Underworld competition, can we start?"

The king said nothing.

The goddess was silent for a moment, "As usual. If you don't speak, then I will be the master."

Hades and Persephone.

She clapped her hands.

The gate of Pluto's temple opened, and the gods filed in.

The first to come in were the three gods.

The god on the left has a green snake wrapped around his neck, holding a scale in his hand, with cold and sharp eyes, as if he wants to weigh the sins and virtues of the living beings one by one.

He knelt quietly, whispered the snake letter on his shoulder, and the balance rose slowly.

He said: "The judge, Agoyas, went here to worship the underworld with a loyal heart, and the justice balance obeyed Hades and Persephone, and the crimes of life and death are under the observation of the two."

One of the three judges of the underworld, Agoyas!
His name means "dumb", his scales judge and measure the good and evil of the dead, and the emerald snake represents his wisdom.

The queen of the underworld said: "Judger Egoyas, the emerald snake makes you sober, and the balance in your hand weighs good and evil and makes a wise judgment."

"Stick to your duty, so that my country will not be in danger of being subverted."

The god on the right, he is dressed in a pitch-black robe, holding a huge skull bell and a skull bell.The skull clock keeps ringing, and every time it rings, it means that he intends to leave the world for his life.

He picked up the bell and shook it lightly, and said, "The sound of the bell proves that Radamandis sends greetings to the Empress of Hades. The river of life and death flows into your kingdom, and everything is at the mercy of Persephone. "

One of the three judges of the underworld, Radamandis!

His name means "ruling the dead", and the skull clock and skull bell in his hand symbolize the end of life.

The queen of the underworld said: "The river of life must flow into my country, Radamandis, and the bells in your hand are the signs of their injection. The bells show your loyalty."

The god in the middle, wearing a lion helmet on his head and holding a heavy scepter, on which thousands of dead spirits are carved, is kneeling down to worship.

His armor is painted with a dilapidated bull elephant. The bull's eyes are red and his face is ferocious.The bull symbolizes anger and represents the severity of judgment.

He bowed deeply, and tapped the scepter in his hand on the ground, making a clear echo: "Minos, the judge of the underworld, I wish the King of Hades all blessings, the life of the living is in your hands, and the journey of the dead is up to you."

The head of the three judges of the underworld, Minos!
His name means "seeking revenge".In the event of a dispute over the verdict, he will make the final decision.

The divine voice of the Underworld is solemn: "Loyal Minos, the fate of the living is up to you to decide. The wicked will repent because of your severity, and the good will be happy because of your justice."

"Follow the teachings of the Empress of the Underworld. The words spoken by the Empress of the Underworld are our destiny." The three judges bowed their heads together.

They stand aside.

When talking to them, the divine voice of the Empress of the Underworld was full of majesty and a hint of praise.

Then two more gods walked in together.

A god, his complexion is sickly pale, and maggots and snakes swim in the eye sockets of the holes.He is dressed in black armor with huge black wings on his back and holds a scythe.

He knelt down on one knee: "In the name of the dead, the will of Hades and Queen Hades will last forever, as inevitable as death."

Death, Thanatos.

The god next to Thanatos, he sat upright on a huge white bed, exuding the aroma of sage and sleeping flowers, holding three light clusters emitting dim blue light in his arms.

He closed his eyes, his face was quiet and peaceful.

He lowered his head slightly, "May my king and my queen enjoy peace and tranquility forever, like gazing at the flowing water in the water, and spend the deeper night after night."

God of sleep, Hypnos.

Brothers of Death and Sleep, the Goddess of the Night Nyx has only a few remaining bloodlines, the god of the Bloodline of the Night!

"Very good." The queen of the underworld was not as enthusiastic as the three judges of the underworld before, she just nodded slightly.

Death and Sleep stood aside.

Then, five gods walked in together.

The headed god, she looks like a young girl, with an extremely beautiful face and a golden veil.

But if you look closely at her face, you will find that fine wrinkles are slowly growing in the dark.

She is getting old all the time.

Beside her left hand, are two female gods.A female god, staring blankly, seems unable to focus.

She was dressed in a gorgeous golden battle armor, nearly two meters tall, with a burly and majestic body.She held the golden warhelm between her arms, and her silver hair cascaded down.

Another god, she is dressed in an extremely gorgeous white robe, which is embroidered with patterns and moons, and has large white wings behind her.

Wreathed in golden laurel, she was wreathed in phantoms of bay leaves, olives, and flower petals, and her countenance was as bright as the sun of spring, illuminating the dark hall.

Biya, the goddess of violence, and Neki, the goddess of victory.

Next to the left hand, are two male deities.

A god, his height is close to three meters, only wearing a thick bronze armor on the knee pads, revealing his extremely strong body like a hill.When he walked, his whole body would tremble, as if the earth was shaking slightly.

His divine body—it cannot be said that it is all muscles.Instead, it looks like a lot of fat, wrapped in muscles, with a thick and short neck like a mountain, and a palm as wide as a slate.

He has four arms and holds four heavy warhammers.

The gods around him are much more unpretentious.He was dressed in a black battle robe, with flames burning in his eyes.He has short white hair and holds a giant crossbow.

Klotos, the god of strength, and Zelos, the god of enthusiasm and triumph!

Naturally, in the middle of the four gods is their mother of gods, the god of the five rivers of the Styx, the god of eternal aging, resurrection from the dead, and eternal cycle of gods, Styx!

Among the five gods, four gods bowed down and saluted together.

There was only one god, and she stood there, staring straight at Minghou, motionless, which was especially eye-catching.

It was Biya.

"..." Naiji took Biya's hand, and then pressed it on her shoulder, making her bow down and salute.

The five gods saluted together, and uttered words in praise of Hades and Queen Hades.

The Empress smiled: "Styx, is your lovely little daughter still so ignorant?"

Styx raised her head. She seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. The girlish temperament she had just now disappeared, and instead exuded the charm of a mature woman. Every frown and smile was full of stars and spring breeze.

"Dear Hades, everyone knows that your kindness is as endless as the land of the underworld. Please forgive Biya for her recklessness. She definitely does not despise Hades. She respects Hades and Hades in her heart, but she doesn't know how to express it .”

"I know." The queen of the underworld squinted her eyes and stared at Styx, as if she had some deep meaning: "Bia is the most loyal god to Olympus and the underworld. This is like the sunshine in the underworld, very rare. .”

There is something in the words of the queen of the underworld.

Biya is the most loyal god, so naturally there are gods, but they are not loyal enough.
