Greek Mythology: Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 80 079, times have changed, aunt
"Dear Themis, my daughter Justice, I already know your purpose."

Gaia's voice is full of a mother's tenderness and peace, and is so peaceful that after hearing it, one's mind can't help but calm down.

It's like a lullaby.

This is normal. In the ancient times, Gaia was the representative of the matriarchy. The title of the Mother of the Gods was not for nothing. She seemed to be a collection of gentleness, just as her body, the earth, contained and carried everything.

But this is only the surface. The energy released by the angry vibration of the earth is very terrifying. It is chaos. This is also one of the essences of the earth. It is such a very contradictory collection that constitutes the earth mother Gaia.

Facing her, all Hades could do was remain respectful. After all, he came here to ask for something. Besides, what should he say to Gaia now? Somewhat embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, he would actually meet Gaia one day, and he would go find it on his own.

Sure enough, the next moment, his worries came true.

Gaia moved her gaze from Themis to Hades, frowned, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her gentle and generous voice: "Hades, how do the golden apples in my orchard taste?"

"good."

Hades replied calmly, taking his time.

His Pluto authority allows him to maintain absolute rationality no matter where he is.

Even under such circumstances, meeting such an identity, facing such Gaia.

You know, he had picked all the golden apples in the Golden Apple Orchard without a single one left. However, it took an extremely long time for the Golden Apple tree to produce a golden apple. It can be said that every golden apple All are valuable and extremely precious.

After picking all the apples, he now faced its owner again. The awkward atmosphere was self-evident, but it did not affect Hades's good mood, and his eyes were as calm and calm as ever.

Even now he is quite suspected of surrendering.

"You……"

Gaia shook her head helplessly and sighed: "I don't know what to say to you. Hades has picked all my golden apples and yet you dare to come to see me in person today and ask for something from me." .”

"You, the Lord of the Underworld, are very courageous. Why don't you respect the Goddess?"

Hades answered truthfully: "Dear Mother Goddess, I did not contradict you."

This is my greatest respect for you.

Understanding the meaning of these words, Gaia smiled dumbly: "I'm really looking forward to the day when you "confront" me..."

Themis on the side looked a little confused, but she quickly understood. She first glared at Hades and blamed him for not doing this. After picking all the golden apples, she said to Gaia apologetically: " Mother Goddess, I am here to express my sincere apology to you on behalf of Hades, and please forgive him for his recklessness."

"No need to apologize, I'm not offended, my dear daughter."

Gaia smiled hoarsely and shook her head, interrupting Themis. Her tone was as detailed and gentle as ever: "Although golden apples are very precious, they are only for eating. There is no solution to always growing on trees. As long as they don't It’s a waste and I’m not offended by it.”

"That's good."

Themis breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Gaia would be angry.

"Dear Gaia, the Mother of the Gods, could you please lend me the Hammer of the Earth?"

Hades presents the main purpose of this line.

"I know you are here for the Earth Hammer..."

Gaia nodded, indicating that she understood it very well. After a pause, she chuckled and said, "Then why should I give it to you?"

"Say your terms, Mother of the Gods."

Hades' tone remained calm and indifferent, and he was not surprised by this.

Although in terms of seniority, Gaia can be regarded as his grandmother, this is the world of Chaos, and there is no deep friendship between his biological children, let alone him, a god who is separated by a generation and has no blood relationship.

And on the way here, Themis had already explained to him the origin of the Earth Hammer. In the depths of the earth, the hot magma and the sturdy black stone merged under the influence of the earth's divine power. After thousands of years, Slowly taking shape, the world's first hammer was born.

It was a special kind of stone, extremely hard. Because it was bred from the earth, it represented the heaviness and destruction of the earth.

First, it represents preciousness and incomparable value, as well as the divine power conferred by the recognition of the world.

Gaia will not hand over the first hammer so easily. Similarly, the same is true for the Sky Furnace, and Zeus will not go smoothly.

"There's nothing you can give me now, Hades."

Gaia shook her head again and spoke softly.

The words were blunt and honest, but also hurtful.

Hades knew that this evaluation was very objective, and now he really couldn't come up with anything that would make the Goddess Gaia's heart beat.

Gaia continued: "But I will still hand over the Earth Hammer to you, but before that, you must first agree to my request."

"What request?"

"Oh, Hades, I haven't thought about this right now. Please give me some more time, okay?"

Gai Mu crossed her hands in front of her belly and said softly: "As long as you agree, you can get the Earth Hammer now."

"Yes, I will agree to your request, as long as it is not excessive."

Hades didn't believe that Gaia had not thought about the request, otherwise he would not have said this, but he still agreed, but added restrictions.

The smile on Gaia's face remained the same as before: "Okay, Hades, in that case, you can take the hammer of the earth."

The stone wall of the cave in front suddenly shook, and then opened to both sides like a stone door, revealing the scene inside.

The depths of the earth are filled with magma, and the rolling magma is like an inner earth world.

The moment the stone wall opened, the surrounding temperature suddenly increased, and a rolling heat wave hit us.

Hades saw that after Gaimu gently raised her delicate white hands to the magma, the magma suddenly seemed to be bubbling water, bubbling upwards, and then a black hammer , floated up.

The Hammer of the Earth, conceived by the Goddess Gaia, is a stone hammer. Entrusted by the divine power of the earth, this stone hammer soon came to Hades' hands.

"It's yours now."

Gaia retracted her hand and smiled softly.

Hades glanced at the mother of the gods. She was undoubtedly a terrifying woman. He did not want to stay here any longer and would leave after getting the hammer.

But Themis had no idea of ​​leaving, and looked at Gaia again: "Mother Goddess, we still need your help for one thing."

"You want that key, right?"

Gaia had a gentle smile on her face and quickly understood what Themis meant.

"Yes, my respected Mother Goddess, please give me the key."

Themis nodded gently and said seriously: "It's time for the throne of the God-King to change again. Cronus has become as cruel, cruel and domineering as my father, your king, and your husband." And crazy, except for the gods of the Titan lineage, other gods in the world have been oppressed, and they dare to be angry but dare not speak out."

"This situation is not right!"

Themis's voice was solemn: "As the goddess of justice, my authority prevents me from seeing the world of Chaos, repeating the tragedy when it was ruled by Father God. The world is not just for the Titans, Chaos also gave birth to other people. Gods of the same family, they also have the right to be treated fairly like the Titans."

"Enjoy the right to survive and enjoy the beauty of the world, instead of being oppressed like now. The Titans are the first class. As the earth, many of these collateral gods were conceived by the Mother Goddess. I think the Mother Goddess also saw it. Their tragic experience.”

Seeing that Gaia was obviously hesitant, Themis began to persuade: "They don't even have divine rights to live in this world. The meaning of their existence seems to be just to serve the Titans. The world of Chaos should not be like this."

"So, I would like to ask the Mother Goddess to show your love as the mother of the earth and the mother of the gods, and hand over the key to us. Only in this way can we change this unfair and troubled era."

Themis spoke sincerely, and every word she spoke spoke to Gaia's heart. Her face was full of melancholy and hesitation, but she finally agreed, sighing leisurely: "Indeed, you are right, my daughter Themis, Ka The Russian world shouldn’t be like this, and it’s time for the position of God King to change again!”

After hesitating for a long time, Gaia finally made up her mind, opened her jade hand, and a simple key appeared in her hand: "Take it, Themis, I hope this can help you."

"Mother Goddess, on behalf of the gods of the world of Khaos, I am grateful for your kindness."

Themis took the key summoned by Gaia, said goodbye politely, and then left with Hades.

Returning to the abyss, Themis saw the confusion in Hades's eyes and explained with a smile: "Chaos started out as chaos, which is the original power of the world, the essence of the world, and the starting point of all things. The beginning is the representative of all chaos and the end of all chaos.”

"Chaos is essentially uncontrollable and has a power that even the primitive ancient gods would fear."

Walking on the road, Themis' little face said very seriously: "Therefore, only the power of chaos can elevate your status to the Titan status in a short period of time."

"Can we control the power that even the original gods fear?"

Hades asked what he was wondering.

"Theoretically it's not possible."

Themis smiled and deliberately let it slip. After seeing Hades open and close his mouth, wanting to ask but not knowing what he thought of, but not asking, she pinched his cheek with her little hand, very surprised. Satisfied: "But the world is wonderful, and creation is one of the manifestations of wonder. It is difficult to understand how these magical substances and gods were born."

"There are too many unknown secrets in the world. Not to mention the gods, even Chaos itself doesn't know it."

With a sigh from the heart, Themis chuckled and said: "You may not believe it when I say it. Sometimes the power and wisdom are far greater than the authority of the gods themselves. The power and wisdom of both, maybe one day It can help you enter a new level, beyond the level of the gods, or even beyond the world itself..."

Themis took a deep look at Hades and smiled mysteriously.

Hades nodded and raised his eyebrows: "Then how do you explain Metis?"

"Are you trying to argue with me?"

Themis's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, she hummed softly, and raised her hand to pinch Hades's face. Her mood improved a lot, and she explained: "Metis's wisdom is indeed outstanding, but she She is the goddess of wisdom. That is the wisdom brought to her by the priesthood of authority. This does not count. As for the ability..."

Themis stopped talking. Talking about someone behind her back and making derogatory comments is a very bad behavior!

As the goddess of justice, she knows this very well and is very polite to stop when necessary.

Hades nodded. In fact, there is no need to explain this clearly. Everyone understands it. Walking on the road, he was silent for a while, then raised his head and glanced at Themis: "So you still haven't said whether I can control the power of chaos." .”

"I forgot."

Themis said calmly, and raised her hand to pinch Hades' face again, but this time it failed, and the latter cleverly avoided it.

Themistra frowned, obviously feeling a little unhappy, but she soon felt relieved. She chuckled and joked: "Dear Hades, why don't you call aunt to come and listen? As long as you call Aunt, aunt can promise you anything~"

Hades's face darkened and he quickly left without looking back.

"Oh, you are really not good."

Themis sighed, and the next moment, she came to Hades again, and asked doubtfully: "It's not like you haven't screamed like this before, why can't you do it now?"

Hades glanced at him and didn't reply. Can this compare?
Is he really who he is now, or the [Middle God] who was just born back then?
Times have changed, Themis.

Even though he has not yet advanced to the level of Titan, Hades is no longer the nephew he was before, who could be manipulated by Themis and go in as he was told, without even the slightest ability to resist!
Themis seemed to understand and said: "When Chaos created the world, he purified part of the origin of chaos. That part of the evolved origin of chaos is no longer chaos in essence. , but it can also be called chaos, and the specific truth here is difficult to say.”

"But you only need to know that the purified chaos can help you improve your divine status."

“Where’s that confusion?”

Hades stopped and turned to look at Themis who was smiling softly.

"another world."

Hades frowned: "Another world?"

His tone was filled with confusion and hesitation.

There is no such information in the inherited memory given to him by Chaos.

He believed that Themis should not have the priesthood and power. This should be a secret belonging to the ancient times, and only the God of Creation was qualified to know.

As the daughter of the Goddess, Themis was told by Gaia.
