Greek Mythology: Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 35, Gift

As soon as Hestia heard that they were about to leave separately, Hestia's eyes widened in fright, and she immediately grabbed Hades's hand, as if you dare to let me go, and I will cry for you.

He pitifully raised a pair of moist and lovely eyes and looked at Hades, cute.

It was so dangerous here. Even her two sisters who were more powerful than her were kidnapped. If Hades asked her to leave, the end would be something she couldn't even imagine!
So when Hestia heard that they were leaving separately, she was completely unwilling. She didn't want to go alone in such a scary place!

Especially when his divine power is blocked.

If she was allowed to go alone, she would definitely die miserably.

At the thought of this, Hestia shuddered with fright and refused to let go, holding on to Hades tightly.

No, no, I don’t want to walk in such a scary place alone!

Hestia's whole body resisted, pursed her lips, and looked at Hades pitifully with her big, watery eyes.

Hades tried to twitch, but found that it didn't twitch. His hand was still tightly held by Hestia, who looked at him pitifully and tried to get rid of his thoughts. A black line immediately appeared on his forehead, and he said helplessly:
"Listen, Hestia. If you want to save your two sisters, just do as I say."

"Well, it's all for my two poor sisters!"

Hestia sighed and loosened her hand as if she had made some kind of determination. She glanced at her moist and lovely eyes and walked over without looking back: "I choose the left, Hades, hum! You stinky brother, remember, if my sister had told me to be here today, you might have lost three sisters who love you so much!"

A cute and angry "hum" sound came.

Hades didn't hesitate and embarked on another path. This dead forest was very weird. Let's not mention all the strange things that happened before, let's just talk about it just now.

He stood in front of the fork in the road and was already watching from a distance. Although he was not in a loop, both roads seemed to be dead ends.

Hmm... Of course, maybe after walking up, the exit will come out and it will no longer be a dead end.

"Hades, you don't want to lose me as your sister, right? If I call you in danger, you must save me, my dear brother!"

As soon as they walked onto the road on the right, Hestia's frightened cry suddenly came from the other side. Hades's face darkened and he immediately quickened his pace.

Stepping onto the path on the right, the situation was exactly as Hades had guessed. It was not a dead end ahead. Sure enough, the two roads at this fork had to be walked together before there would be a way out.

There was no danger along the way and it was very peaceful. Hades didn't know what the situation was like with his eldest lolita sister Hestia, but it should be the same as his.

At least, according to the character of his eldest sister, if she encounters danger while her divine power is blocked, she should loudly call his name "for help"

But until now, he hadn't heard any cries for help, which meant Hestia was safe.

Just as Hades was thinking this and walking forward, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a black shadow flashing quickly in the dead forest next to him.

Soon, it disappeared the next moment, as if it had never appeared.

Even if Hades turned his head quickly the moment he caught a glimpse of it, he still found nothing.

Hades was very sure that he had seen it correctly. There was indeed a black shadow flashing next to him just now.

He stared around with vigilance: "God of the underworld, what is your purpose?"

"Pluto, are you asking me? It will be a great honor for me to be asked by you, the King of the Underworld." A teasing tone sounded behind him, and Hades' figure disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared after hiding in the illusion, he was already ten steps ahead.

And that teasing tone also sounded from the front: "Ungrown Pluto, this is the first time we meet, I say hello to you."

Appeared behind him out of thin air, and moved in front of him instantly the next moment.

Hades looked at the black robe in front of him, his eyes still calm.

The black robe in front of him has a human shape, but it has no real form. What holds up the black robe is a black mist that is constantly surging. A pair of green glowing eyes are hidden under the hood, which is terrifying and weird.

Unknown identity.

But Hades could clearly sense that there was an unknown dark power hidden under that black robe. It was a cursed power that made ordinary gods feel uncomfortable whenever they came near.

A ball of rolling and roaring black energy suddenly rushed over. Hades refused to dodge and said calmly: "Disappear."

The black energy condensed by the power of the underworld in front of him instantly turned into nothing and disappeared.

Looking at Hades who easily defused his attack, the black robe smiled and said: "King of the underworld, Hades, it seems that the power of the underworld cannot harm you, but one day will come..."

"It is worth mentioning that, Hades, this is our first meeting. To express my respect for you, I have prepared a gift for you. Look forward to it, right?"

"Hades, I hope you will like the gift I prepared for you, and it will eventually arrive!"

"After the Blood Forest, you will reach the Black Wind Valley. I wish you a pleasant journey, Pluto."

The sound of the black robe became smaller and smaller at the end, until the whole black robe fell to the ground, the sound disappeared, and the black air also disappeared.

Only a black robe was left on the ground.

He said a bunch of incomprehensible words and left. The attack just now was to test my strength.

Hades looked at the black robe on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to walk forward.

Compared to his place, things went much smoother on Hestia's side. The journey was very peaceful and there was no danger.

This also made Hestia, who saw the exit ahead, breathe a sigh of relief, her face filled with joy and anticipation.

Soon he took a wrong turn and came to another road, a road made entirely of bones.

It is not accurate to say that this is an open space, but there are so many bones here that they have piled up to form a path, with thick bones piled up on both sides.

There were countless corpses, carrying a stench, and various rotten insects that made people vomit, slowly crawling in and out of the bones.

This scene made Hestia, who had just walked out, turn pale, and the joy and anticipation she felt just now disappeared instantly.

When he came back to his senses, he glanced around. What surprised and shocked him was how could so many corpses and bones turned into corpses be piled up together?
At this moment, a head suddenly rolled down from the pile of bones in front of him, and then there was a rustling sound.

Hestia turned her head and looked over, her face paled a bit more, she staggered in fright and took a few steps back.
