Greek Mythology: Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 81, The Essence of the God-King’s Position
"Yes, it's another world."

Themis nodded affirmatively, facing Hades's doubtful gaze, and explained: "Chaos not only created our current world, but also created another parallel world, but it is not perfect, and it may never be the same. It can’t be perfected.”

"The purified chaos was sealed in that parallel world by Chaos."

"So that parallel world is equivalent to a container?"

Hades nodded and expressed his understanding.

"Yes, Hades, you are very smart."

Themis spoke softly in approval, then stretched out her hand, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to make a sneak attack.

But this time there was no surprise, and Hades, who had been well prepared, cleverly avoided it again.

Themis, the goddess of justice, his aunt represents law and justice. Ruthless justice is her essence. Being aloof and unsmiling are the emotions brought about by her status.

The mood of such a goddess is peaceful and terrifying. Different from the cold and noble attitude of Hera, the third sister of Hades, Themis is pure calm and belongs to a goddess who does not seem to have a trace of lust.

Although the first impression of tranquility and coldness is that it is difficult to get along with and communicate with others, there is still a difference in nature. Being cold does not mean that he has no lust in his heart.

Therefore, when Themis, the goddess of justice, showed her gentle smile, Hades keenly sensed something was wrong, and secretly felt vigilant in his heart. Sure enough, this vigilance was correct, and his face escaped two disasters in succession!
Hades frowned, thinking that he was still the [chief god], and his aunt was stronger than his nephew. If she raped her aunt and locked her nephew, there wasn't much room for her to resist, so she should just endure it for a while.

In the future, after I am promoted to [Titan God], I will give this aunt a lesson for not knowing how to respect Hades!
Themis, who didn't get the pinch, was helpless. She pursed her lips, showing her emotions that were not suitable for her status and age. She was frustrated, sighed softly, and said: "Yes, you are right, that The parallel world is just a container.”

Themis' face straightened: "Perhaps, Chaos' original intention of creating that parallel world was to seal the evolved chaos. Therefore, that world cannot be compared with the main world, let alone perfect."

Listening to Themis's conjecture, Hades nodded. He thought the same thing. He glanced at his aunt, who was sometimes serious and calm, sometimes gentle and a little playful. For a moment, he couldn't tell which one was which. This is her true appearance.

But one thing that is certain is that Hades has never seen his aunt Themis, and she has never shown a gentle and playful look in front of any other gods. In front of other gods, Themis is always aloof, unsmiling, and inviolable. , the solemn and just goddess of justice.

What is noble cannot be blasphemed, and there is no room for a grain of sand in your eyes.

Hades glanced at Themis: "So this is why you asked the Goddess Gaia for the key? That key is the key to opening the parallel world?"

"That's right, Hades, talking to you is a very enjoyable thing. You won't become tired from explaining. You can always find the key to things."

Themis's white face showed a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Hades responded politely.

Themis added: "It would be better if you could talk more and your tone would be less cold."

Hades's face darkened.

The smile on Themis's face became even brighter. She covered her belly with her little hands and laughed non-stop: "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding you."

Hades calmed down and asked: "Themis, are you sure you can open the entrance to the parallel world with just this key?"

"of course not."

Themis stopped laughing and shook her head.

Just as Hades was about to continue asking, she hit him on the head with her fist.

"Pass." A clear voice sounded.

Hades suddenly felt pain.

"Remember to show due respect to your aunt, Hades!"

Faced with Themis's reprimand, Hades rubbed the place where his head was knocked, and his expression was extremely serious: "Themis, this sentence should be said to you on my behalf, please maintain due respect for Pluto. , otherwise don’t blame me for being rough with you!”

"Use violence?"

Themis raised her eyebrows, took a step forward and said with a smile: "Take it off and let me see how thick it can be."

"you!"

Hades frowned and looked at Themis who was approaching, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Why, you won't let me see it, and you still want to hit someone?"

Themis chuckled and took another step forward, forcing Hades to keep retreating, "Or do you want to be knocked again?"

She was a Titan, and the punch just now used divine power, but the strength was just right.

Hades sighed helplessly and decided not to argue with this woman. Of course, it certainly didn't mean that he couldn't defeat the female Titan, he just respected his elders!

Looking at Hades who walked forward without paying attention to herself, Themis didn't care and followed him with a calm tone: "To open the entrance to the parallel world, you need another key. It is in In the hands of my father, the first god-king Ouranos."

"Zeus and Mnemosyne have already gone to get it."

Hearing this, Hades nodded slightly.

There is no doubt that Themis, as one of the 12 Titans, the goddess of words, knows it, and Mnemosyne must also know it.

Hades and Themis returned to Olympus and saw Zeus and Mnemosyne who had returned early. They were faster than them, so Zeus had successfully obtained the furnace of the sky and the weapon that existed in Ula. North has the key?

This conjecture first appeared in Hades's mind, but was quickly rejected. After crossing the threshold and entering the temple, he noticed that the current atmosphere was dull and dead.

This is not what a smooth return should look like.

"Sorry, brother, I failed. Mnemosyne and I did not successfully retrieve the key and the Sky Furnace."

Zeus's tone was a bit unwilling and aggrieved, yes, aggrieved!

He took Mnemosyne to the heaven and awakened the sky god Uranus who was sleeping and unable to leave. However, he did not expect that the other party just looked at them, said a word, and fell into a deep sleep again!
Don't give him any face at all!
Zeus felt a little embarrassed, especially when he saw Hades and Themis who had successfully retrieved the hammer of the earth and the key to the goddess.

"What did the God of the Sky say?"

Hades, who had expected this result, asked calmly. This opening made Zeus feel even more aggrieved. He gritted his teeth, but soon regained his composure, and put a kind smile on his face again: "He wants to see your brother and Themis in person."

"Meet us?"

Themis glanced at Hades, confusion in her voice.

Hades did not respond. He was also confused about this matter. He looked at Zeus who had returned from heaven. He had not had any interaction with the sky god Ouranos since he was born, and there was no memory of Uranus. Too much information from North.

Regarding this matter, Zeus also expressed doubts and shook his head: "I don't know, brother, but one thing is for sure, the God of the Sky has made it clear that he wants to see you and Themis."

Yeah? Then go and meet... Hades nodded, glanced at Themis, and left Olympus again under the gaze of the gods.

Hades and Themis did not delay on the road and came to the heaven, a peaceful and tranquil realm high in the sky.

"call!"

Suddenly, the whistling sound produced when the giant wings flapped was heard in my ears, and together with it, there was a loud and long cry.

A huge flying divine beast, more than ten meters long, rushed towards Hades and Themis. It was an eagle beast with extremely hard claws that were comparable to artifacts.

A kind of mythical beast that is common in the heavens. Its terrifying and huge body, coupled with its sharp claws, make the gods fear it.

Hades and Themis continued to walk forward without looking back.

Feeling that he was being slighted, the eagle beast opened its sharp and hooked mouth, let out an angry roar, flapped its wings faster, and dived towards Hades. A pair of sharp long claws had been opened and flashed. A little cold light.

However, this still failed to attract Hades's attention. A thought flashed quickly, and the dark flames ignited, destroying the swooping eagle beast.

Continuing to go deeper into the heaven, Themis stopped: "We're here."

There were endless white clouds in front of him, and there was nothing, but Hades did not ask. He knew that tens of millions of years ago, Uranus lost his position as the God King and lost himself as a symbol of maleness.

It has returned to its true body and returned to the sky. It is also trapped in the sky forever and fell into a deep sleep. It will not wake up on its own and needs someone to call.

Themis took a deep breath and seemed to be thinking about how to face this Father God whom she had not seen for millions of years. All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind. Finally, she spoke: "Father God, Themis Si is calling you here, can you come out and see me? Meet the daughter you have not seen for thousands of years."

Themis's tone was as calm as ever. Under her call, a response came from the sky soon. Divine power was gathering, and the misty white clouds in front of her eyes dispersed to both sides.

A middle-aged man wearing a white robe appeared in front of him. He was tall and his face was extremely majestic.

The first god-king, the god of the sky, Ouranos.

"Themis, my daughter, we finally meet again."

There was a touch of calmness and kindness in Ouranos' wild voice, just like the kindness shown by a strict father when he saw his daughter whom he had not seen for many years.

After not seeing each other for many years, the former God-King couldn't help but feel his love as a father after seeing his daughter Themis.

Even though he has lost his symbol of maleness, as the former God-King and now the God of the Sky, his voice still has not transformed into a feminine one, because he will soon fall into deep sleep again.

Ouranos looked away from Themis and looked at Hades, then turned calm and said in a deep and long tone: "Hades, and you."

Hades's eyes fluctuated slightly: "Dear Sky God Uranus, we are here to ask you for the Sky Furnace."

"I know."

Ouranos nodded and waved his hand, and a huge furnace exuding an ancient atmosphere appeared in front of him: "Take it, and this key."

As he spoke, he opened his hand again and gave out a key.

Hades took the key and looked at the sky furnace in front of him, feeling a little surprised. Was it so smooth?

Then how could Zeus return without success?

Sure enough, the moment Hades accepted the Sky Furnace, Ouranos spoke: "Hades, can you grant me a request?"

"You say."

In this regard, Hades's eyes, which had been prepared for a long time, were as calm as ever. The things in the hands of the God of the Sky could not be obtained so easily, and he had already been prepared to pay something.

Just like agreeing to Gaia's request deep in the earth.

It's just that Uranus gave what he wanted first and made a request, which meant that he could agree or not.

There is a difference with Gaia's requirements.

Ouranos said: "Take care of Themis, Hades."

"Among the children I owe, Mnemosyne has also found a home, but Themis is the only one I am most worried about."

Listening to Ouranos's inexplicable request, Hades looked a little strange, glanced at Themis, and finally nodded: "Yes, I can agree to your request."

As the first god-king, does Ouranos, the god of the sky, also have fatherly love? Are you also worried about your daughter?
If this is the case, then why were the 12 Titans stuffed back into Gaia's womb in the first place?
The request Uranus made now was not consistent with, or even completely contradictory to, what he had done before, which made Hades confused.

Likewise, Themis, her daughter, was also puzzled.

The father in front of her seemed to be the same person as her father tens of millions of years ago. She didn't understand why her father would make such an inexplicable request.

This is not like her at all, not like the crazy, tyrannical, cruel and cruel God King back then.

Ouranos understood the doubts in their eyes, but did not make any explanation or response. Instead, he smiled slightly: "Themis, can you wait outside first? I have something to discuss with Hades alone. .”

"Yes, my Father God."

Themis nodded lightly and left, leaving Uranus and Hades a private discussion space.

When Themis had gone far, Ouranos used his divine power to set up a barrier around her, creating a barrier that could isolate the outside world.

But Hades watched this scene quietly, his eyes gradually becoming far-reaching, thinking about what Ouranos was going to say to him, so that he didn't want Themis to know?
Is there something that Themis shouldn't know? Or is there any secret?
Ouranos' voice became calmer: "Hades, do you know the nature of the position of the God King? Of course, you can put it another way, or do you want to be the third King of the Gods?"
