Greek Mythology: Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 24 024, sit tight!

Zeus smiled warmly, his eyes full of affection, and was about to use his usual methods to make himself an affectionate victim to make Metis soften her heart, and then explain to her that Metis would definitely forgive him.

This method has been tried and tested time and time again.

Although Eurynome and Metis are both ocean goddesses, compared to Eurynome, Metis, the goddess of wisdom, undoubtedly brought him greater help.

If he had not been convinced that Metis would not come back, he would not have settled for the next best thing and pursued Eurynome.

Poseidon, who also knew this, thought the same thing, and also greeted him with a smile on his lips.

He felt that he was no worse than Zeus. He did not pursue Metis before. That was because Metis and Zeus had lived together since childhood and had a deep friendship. However, now that their friendship has become estranged, he thought that he could give it a try. Maybe he could. Getting help from the Goddess of Wisdom is not a given either.

After all, the sea and the Ocean Goddess belong to the same family. No matter how you look at it, he, the King of the Sea, is more suitable for Metis.

Zeus looked at the approaching Poseidon, the smile on his face froze slightly, and he cursed in his heart that his second brother was shameless!
To actually take advantage of the situation and sneak in, you are simply not being a human being!
Metis looked at Poseidon and Zeus in front of her with speechless eyes. As the goddess of wisdom, she naturally knew the purpose of these two people. They all wanted to get her help to compete for the position of the future king of gods.

But now she was tired and didn't want to waste more time on these two people. She said calmly: "The goddess of the ocean will only marry excellent gods. Among you three brothers, whoever can retrieve the raw materials first will win the prize." Will marry the goddess of the sea.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two brothers Poseidon and Zeus smiled and said goodbye and left immediately, moving very quickly.

Looking at the two people leaving in a hurry, Metis looked calm and unsurprised, and said calmly: "What two idiots."

There were 3000 ocean goddesses born to her parents, but she didn't say they were definitely hers.

……

Underworld.

This is a dark realm, with an aura of death everywhere. The earth seems to be soaked in blood, showing an astonishing crimson color, and everywhere you look is a piece of blood and soil.

The sky was a hazy purple color, and from time to time there were a few purple thunders, sliding through the diffuse blood clouds.

This is the underworld, the end of all things, the destination of death, the absence of life.

"The terrifying underworld..."

Hades stepped here, exhaled slowly, and felt the boundless silence, darkness, terror, decay, death and other factors affecting his emotions.

This is the end of all things in the underworld, the destination of the dead, and represents all bad and negative things. If the response of justice is light, then the response of the underworld is darkness.

If you stay here for a while, you will gradually lose hope and make people feel crazy!
It’s totally not a place for people to stay!

"Roar!"

At this moment, a terrifying roar sounded.

The next moment, a giant ape with three eyes was on all fours, roaring towards Hades, showing two sharp fangs and covered with golden hair.

With every step he took, the entire blood-red land trembled, and a rumbling sound was heard. The speed was extremely fast, and he was in front of him in the blink of an eye. It was extremely fierce!

However, Hades just glanced away with a faint glance, and the power of the underworld was released. The golden giant ape that was running immediately stopped, and its figure quickly shrank and turned into a little monkey.

He was scratching his head at the feet of Hades, looking cute and lively, but how could he still look like he was so fierce just now?

The little golden-haired monkey looked at Hades with a pair of dark and bright eyes, and kept babbling.

Miraculously, Hades actually understood what it said and frowned: "You want to follow me?"

The little golden-haired monkey nodded its head repeatedly, sensing the pure power of the underworld in Hades' body, which made it feel very comfortable.

"unnecessary."

Hades walked forward calmly and said these three words calmly. The little monkey's ears suddenly pulled down, and he looked depressed, but he was not discouraged and followed cautiously.

Every time Hades took a step, it would take a step and stop, and it would also stop.

Finally, Hades stopped and turned around, and the little monkey immediately stopped and turned around, holding his head in his hands, as if to say: Can't see me, can't see me.

Hades said: "Guard the gate to the underworld."

Hearing this, the little monkey was so happy that he kept shouting, indicating that he understood.

Hades sighed slightly in his heart. He came to the underworld and picked up a pet for no reason. He didn't know if he should lament his popularity?
Even a monkey he met on the roadside followed him.

But this time he came to the underworld for important reasons, and it was difficult to move with a little monkey.

Before entering the underworld, Hades had already read the scroll given by Metis. The raw material was a lavender flower named: "Underworld Purple Orchid."

Standing in front of you is a simple and heavy gate, which is the gate to the underworld. Stepping through this gate means you have truly entered the underworld. There is no way back and you cannot go out through this gate again.

"Hades..."

After stepping into the gate of the underworld, the familiar and distant call came to my ears again. Compared to the previous one, this time the call was clearer and more obvious.

Hades' eyes trembled slightly, and he looked into the distance as if his mind was touched.

After passing through the gate of the underworld and walking for a while, Hades came to a stop in front of a rushing river.

The river of pain, the black river is turbulent but calm, like an abyss, blocking the way forward with its endless flow.

"Young man, you are neither an undead nor a demon, so how can you have the power of the underworld in you?"

At this moment, an old voice sounded, with deep doubts in his tone.

Hades called out.

At the ferry on the river bank, there was a black boat floating. There was an old man sitting on the boat, wearing a bamboo hat, a raincoat and a beard.

Boatman on the River of Pain: Charon.

Hades instantly understood the other party's identity.

The ferryman of the underworld is responsible for ferrying the undead that pass through the gate of the underworld to the other side.

Hades walked towards the ferry.

Seeing that he did not answer the question, Charon was not annoyed and smiled lightly: "It has been a long time since any gods have come to the underworld."

Hades said calmly: "How much does it cost to send it to the other side?"

Charon smiled and nodded: "There is this rule. If other gods come, they need to give gold coins to reach the other side, but..."

Having said this, he paused, glanced at Hades, and said: "No need, come up, young man, I will send you to the other side."

Although Hades was confused, he nodded and stepped onto the ferry.

"Sit still, young man!"

After Hades got on the boat, Charon said hello and shook the oars.
